Why Purebreds Pay

IDAHO INDIANS CLAIMING
OF MONTANA

The Nez PerceS Indian tribe have
passed a 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. O., for
the presentation in United States
court of claims of the right of the
Indians to a strip across the state
of Montana $50 to 200 miles wide
from Hellgate, near MissOula, to
Miles City, under the terms of a
treaty of the United States govern
ment with the Indians in 1855.
The BIackfeet Indians have Sign
ed a contract with the Washing
ton legal firm and the Nez Perces
Indians, living IN the ColvilIe res
ervation in Washington, have de-
clarod their intention of entering
the suit when the Idaho Ne1 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,
900. 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
number 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

HOMESTEADERS WE'RE OF THE
OPINION THEY OWNED INTER-
EST IN DEVEREAUX WE'LL
Found That They Had No Royalty
Reserved After They Had Made
Sales; Owner Of New Well Saves
Honosteaders Lawsuits.

A couple Of weeks ago., a North Da-
kOta man named Devereaux brought
in a big we'll in the western part of
the Cat Greek 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 CEN 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 well came in,
sold royalties for substantial sums of
cash.
Now note this: Devereaux, if he
had been so disposed, could have
caused the homesteaders a world of
grief, for selling something they
didn't OWL and besides could have
cost the investors in royalties much
money. But he didn't.
Although it meant thousands of
dollars to him, he voluntarily sur
rendered his interest in the twelve
and one-haIf per cent royalty and
thus showed what a square man he
is.

oil men-would have done the same

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.

oped within the past few years an
enviable tourist business during

greatly increase the tourist bust
ness for 1928.

reservation to move and rec some
large buildings, to be used for a
trading post. / rather doubted my

Helena, the nearest town, was $50
miles away.
On arriving at the agency, / called
on the United States Indian agent,
John Young, and asked permission
to employ his Indians to do the work
in question. He stated that he would
be pleased if I could get them to do
the work; but that the effort would
require much patience, and that the
unexpected would happen if | was
successful in interesting the red men
in labor of any kind, as at that time
the Blackfeet were hunters and there
we're still buffalo OF the range.

All was satisfactory. l employed
but one white man as foreman and
carpenter, the buildings being built
of logs. This man was Byron Cor
son, who later became a well known
resident of Teton county.
Strike Is Called
The work started in good shape,
and the Indian workers, while awk-
ward, were steady and constant at
their tasks. Pay day was every Sat-
urday. Finally the buildings were
erected and all was ready for daub-
ing and chinking of the logs with
mud and the mudding of the roof. 1
selected IL young men to work at
the mud making. Three large holes
we're dug in the ground and three
men put to each hole. The other
three men I put on the roof to apply
the mud, paying them $3.50 per day.
Mortar men and water men were paid
$1.25 per day, 10 hours constituting
a days work. I employed 20 women
to apply the mud to the thinking,
paying each rs cents per day of eight
hours.
All went well the first day, but the
second morning Mr.. Corson told me
that the mortar men were not max

and I went at ace to see what the
trouble was. I found the Indians
sitting in the mortar holes smoking.
I said to them, Boys, the women
are waiting on you. Why aren't you
making mud?"
One OF them replied that they
would talk when they had smoked
out that pipe. AS usual, smoking
had to accompany their pow-wow on
this proposition, and the usual cere-
monies observed. In a few minutes
the men came out of the mortar
holes and the spokesman, named
Shine-in-the-Sun, who was boss of
the roof men, much to my surprise,

was a large one, Mr.. La Rue said,
with eight rattles. Indications are
that probably as many more had been

Shine-in-the-Sun set forth their
grievances in a most eloquent and
earnest manner. The work, he said,
was very hard and the pay small.
Work on the roof was very danger
Gus, since in getting their feet muddy
they might slip off the roof. The hod
carriers might slip off the ladder and
be killed (the climb being 10 feet).
They asserted further that they were
expert workmen, deserving of the in
creased pay they demanded.
I was very much interested n
somewhat amused at the earnest
manner and odd appearance of the
strikers. Most of them were dressed
in short calico shirts and breech-
the better to enable them to mix the
mortar.
/ told them that while their work
was satisfactory for Indians, that
six white men could do all of it. The
Blood Indians had often asked for
work, and that / would hire them.
One of the Indians, Laughing Dog,
replied that the Blood Indians had
gone north three days before, and
that there were no white men in the
country to take their places. This
was all true, too.
I then informed them that I would
allow them the advance in wages
which they asked for that day If they
would go to work, which they did at
once.

10000 TENANTS IN
GEORGIA CHANGED
MORE FARMS CHANGE OWN
ERS IN SOUTH THAN ANY
OTHER SECTION.

Nearly 100000 farms, or approxi-
mately one out of every FIVE farms in
the United States. changed occupants
in 1922, according to a survey by the
department of agriculture at Wash
| ington. This is the first survey of the
kind made by the department. and
while the changes give evidence of
considerable mobility among Ameri-
can farmers, until comparative figures
for other years are available it will
not be possible to determine whether
the extent of thee movement in 1922
was greater or less than usual" says
DIR. c. l.. Stewart, economist prepar-
ing the report.
In nine states one farm in every four
changed occupants; in six states in
the New England group the turnover
was one farm in every ten, and in
most of the corn belt and western
states between 10 and IS per cent of
the farms changed occupants. Chang
es in ownership of farms took place
on nearly 100000 farms, or approx
mately one farm in every sixteen in
the United States. In general, more
farms changed owners in the west and
south than in the New England, mid
die Atlantic and corn belt states.
Of the 100000 or more farm ten
ants in the United States more than
625,000 changed the scene of their
operations during the year More than
rs per cent of these tenant changes
occurred in the fifteen southern states.
In both Georgia and Texas more than
10000 tenant farms changed tenants
in 1922.
The percentage of tenant farms
changing tenants in the year ranges
from 8 per cent in Maine to SO in per
cent in Oklahoma. Seven southern
states show change of more than
80 per cent In the corn belt states the
range is from IA per cent in Illinois
to p per cent in Missouri, and in the
mountain and Pacific states from II
| per cent in California to 20 per cent
in Colorado.
