From Washington

Joshua Wetsit arrived Monday
from Washington, D. c., where
with James Archdale, he has been
representing the Assinniboine
tribe, in their efforts to secure
jurisdictional legislation by Con-
gress which would more fully pro
tect the rights of Indians who
have become citizens. The prin-
cipal thing is the right to bring
suit in the courts of the United
States, to collect certain large
claims they believe they have
against the government.
The bill they wanted was intro
duced in the Senate by Senator
B. K. Wheeler and a message re-
ceived by Wetsit since his return
from Archdale, who is still IN
Washington, says that the bill IN
the form desired has passed the
Senate and will now go to the
House. 1t is doubtful whether it
can be brought up for vote in the
House before adjournment but
may if adjournment is postponed
until June. Mr.. Wetsit said il
took persistent work to get the bill
out of the committee and before

Olson-B uresh >
Match Fizzles

The wrestling match between
Stanley Buresh and Buck Olson
advertised for Tuesday evening,
April 18th, failed to materialize
because Buresh left for the coast
just before Olson arrived. 1t is
said that Buresh left because of
a message received from a pro
moter in a coast city offering him
a match there. When Olson ar
rived Tuesday morning and found
that his opponent had left he was
in anything but a pleasant frame
of mind, as he had been put to
an expense of $40 for the trip.
A telegram sent him by Buresh
giving notice that the match was
cancelled arrived at Stephen,
Mimi, after Olson had left for
Wolf Point. 1t was forwarded to
him here and it cost him another
dollar to find out what he already
knew. He says "This is the sec
ond time Mr.. Burash has run out
of a match with me-"
Buck is a husky looking athlete
who has met some good men in
many parts of the country. He

Special Study Of Feet

Friends of James Cook of the

en- arches, weak ankles, cramped
toes, corns, ~callouses and bunions,
etc, not knowing relief was a
very simple matter.
He says that he is prepared to
show anybody who has foot
trouble that this is so. BY elinfi-
mating these foot troubles, he also
declares, neat, stylish shoes can
be worn with perfect comfort.
Through this special training
Mr.. Cook has discovered that most
shoe troubles can be traced di-
.rectly to foot troubles. In the
majority Of cases of where shoes
break down and wear out soone~
than they should, it is not the
fault of the shoes, but to weak
and broken down arches, weak
ankles or some abnormal foot con-
dition.
