Homesteaders Lawsuits.

| A couple of weeks ago, North d.
kota man named Devereaux brought
in big well in the western part OF
the Cat Creek field, a section which
had been passed up by all biologists.
Devereaux some two years ago paid
a couple of homesteaders a goodly
| sum of money for leases, buying the
entire oil interests of the landowners.
Somehow the homesteaders were
of the opinion that they retained the
twelve and one-half per cent royalty
which is the usual thing, but the leas-
es showed Devereaux had specifically
purchased all oil rights. Neverthe-
less the landowners previous to and
especially since the we'll came in,
sold royalties for substantial sums of
cash.
Now note this: Devereaux, if he
had been so disposed, could have
caused the homesteaders world of
grief, for selling something they
didn't own and besides could have
cost the investors in royalties much
money. But he didn't.

How many of us-oil men or not

consciousness of having done most
generous thing, in these days of
money madness and greed. It will

IDAHO INDIANS CLAIMING
LARGEPART OF MONTANA

The Nez Perces Indian tribe have
passed resolution authorizing the
signing of a contract ON behalf of
the tribe with Server, Joyce and
Barlow and John G. Carter, at
torneys of Washington, ID. c., for
the presentation in United States
court of claims of the right of the
Indians to strip across the state
of Montana $50 to 200 miles wide
from Hellgate, near MissouIa, to
Miles City, under the terms of a
treaty of the United States govern
ment with the Indians in 1855.
The Blacheet Indians have Sign
ed a contract with the Washing
ton legal firm and the Nez Perces
Indians, living on the ColviIle res
ervation in Washington, have de-
clared their intention of entering
the suit when the Idaho Nez Perces
sign.
The attorneys agree to carry the
case to the United States supreme
court, their fee to be determined
by the court of claims in case they
win, this not to exceed 10 per cent
OF the amount collected, or $780,
600. In case no collections are
made from the United tSates gov
eminent no fee Is to be charged.
The territory to which the In
dams Lay claim includes Billings,
q part of the Yellowstone national
park and the country adjacent to
the Northern Pacific and Milwau-
kee transcontinental railways and
its value will run into many mil
lions.
1t is stated that the United
States supreme court has upheld a
of similar claims made by
indian tribes on treaties whose
terms have never been abrogated
by subsequent agreement.
1t was the violation of the treaty
Of 1855 which led up to the Nez
Perccs war In 1877.

Northern Pacific railway will erect
a new passenger depot in Bozeman
during the summer at cost of
$4,000, as we'll as a new round

ments will aggregate $4,000.
The Bozeman Canning company,
which has been very successful in
the canning of peas and which had
an output of $4,000 cases last year,
has increased its capacity this year
to 10000 cases. The growing of
peas both for canning and seed pur-
poses has developed into one of
the leading industries of the Gala
tin valley.

A recent report of the flour mill
ing industry in Montana shows
that Gallatin county stands second
in the state in capacity of mills.
The development of flour milling
in the Gallatin valley has been such
that about one-half of the wheat
grown in this section is milled at
home. The Gallatin valley pro-
duces about three and a half mil
lion bushels of wheat each year
and the outlook tor the coming
year would indicate that the yield
would be larger than usual.
The city of Bozeman has devel-
oped within the past few years an
enviab1e tourist business during
the summer months. The compile
ton of the scenic highway from
Bozeman to West Yellowstone, the
western entrance of Yellowstone
National Park will undoubtedly
greatly increase the tourist bust
ness for 1928.
The county commissioners of

extensive road building program
for the year which will link up the
