Finefish, Relative OF
Great Chief Redstone

Finefish an Assiniboine Indian
with an interesting history, died
March 10, at the home of his son,
Frank Redstone at rs years. Fun
! eral services were conducted on
he 10th at Wolf Point cemetery
by Elder H. T. Smith of the Pres
byterian church, a former teacher
at the Presbyterian Indian mission
here.
Finefish was the son in law of
Redstone, the last chief to hold
authority, by virtue of tribal gov
ernment, over all the Fort Peck
Indians The name Redstone is
still held in great respect on the
reservation, especially by the AS
sinniboines of the west end The
Chief, who died more than %
years ago at the age of S5, had no
son to carry on the family name
so was extremely particular about
who should be the husband of his
daughter. 1t is said that the
Chief personally chose young
Finefish from 5000 eligible men
for his prowess as a buffalo hun
ter, his courage and other good
qualities, including peaceful dis
position. Redstone insisted that
his grandsons, Fred and Frank,
should take his name instead of
their fathers.
Several other children were
born to Finefish and his wife but
only Fred of Oswego and Frank,
a successful cattle rancher near
here, are living. Finefish always
made his home with his elder son,
Fred, until about three months
ago His wife died about six
years ago. The sons wish to ex-
press their thanks to all who lent
their kind assistance at the time
Of their sad bereavement.

TILLACE ADDS
WHEAT PROTEIN
EXTENSIVE TESTS MADE BY
STATE coLLEeEAsA4 ED g.
LIGHT ON SUBJECT

4 To the many advantages and
benefits of summer tillage one
more may be added. Wheat pro
duced on summer titled land
other things being equal, gener-
ally has a higher protein content
than wheat from land which pro-
duced grain the previous year, ac-
cording to Clyde Mckee, agronom-
list at Montana State College.
The average protein content of
527 samples of grain from Roose-
welt county for 1910 per cent
compared to the state average Of
1912 per cent from $4,000 sam
pies. The above comparison
brings out the effect Of the many
factors which determine protein
content.
Mr.. Mckee says: "The protein
content of wheat is influenced
chiefly by the amount Of nitrogen
available for the use of the grow
ing crop Factors which affect
the available nitrogen supply in
fluence the protein content Of the
wheat
Weather A Factor
Excessive rains during the
spring months of 1927 accompan-
led by rather cool temperatures
not only washed out of the soil
some of the available nitrogen,
but retarded the action Of bacter
ia which aid in nitrate formation.
However, there was some varia-
ton in the protein content of
wheat from different parts of the
state and even more variation be-
tween wheat samples produced
within limited areas, suggesting
that other factors than seasonal
conditions influence protein con-
tent.
For example, the process of
summer tillage or following in
creases the availability of nitro
gen to such an extent that it is
now generally known that wheat (
produced after fallow will contain
more protein than wheat after a
grain crop under identical condi- /
tions. Likewise, wheat produced I
after a leguminous crop such as /
sweet clover or peas, may
be higher in protein than wheat
grown on the same kind of soil
but which has not grown legume.
a soil which con-
tains an abundance of organic
matter usually produces wheat OF
higher protein content than soils
where the organic matter is more
limited"

FARM CHAPTER
MEETING, FRAZER
SPEAKERS BEG INDIANS TO
PREPARE TO MAKE THEIR
LIVING ON LAND

In spite of the breaking up of
the roads a very successful Farm
chapter meeting was held at the
Indian dance hall at Frazer
Monday. About fifty being
AFTERNOON. About fifty being
present. Arthur -Four Star acting
as chairman, Supervisor Campbell,
Superintendent Eggers and Alvin
Warrior, supervisor of Farm Chap
ter work for the reservation, were
present. Many problems of spring
work were discussed.
Urges FrugaIity
Supervisor Campbell informed
the Indians that probably not
more than one more per capita
payment after this springs pay
ment would be possible and urged
all Indians to put this money to
uses that would bring in some re-
turns when the tribal fund is ex-
hausted. He told them of the
dire straits to which the Blackfeet
had been reduced and begged the
Indians of this reservation to
guard against such situation for
by beginning now TO
prepare for the time when each
family must depend on its own
efforts for a livlihOod.
Supt. Eggers urged each mem
ber to get behind the program
and by cooperation help each
other to farm every acre possible.
Milk COWS and alfalfa came in for
their share of discussion.
Excellent Advice
Arthur Four Star gave a very
helpful as we'll as entertaining adj
lress and Iron Horn gave a very |
talk. He told of the
of the old days of the
buffalo hunt and reminded the |
young men that that was not all |
pleasure, and as evidence called !
attention to his own crippled con-
lition. He told them the plow
vas easier to handle than the bow
md the knife and urged them to
urn up the soil and wrest their
living from it. The Frazer young
nen are fortunate in having so
wise a counsellor.
Mrs. Eggers spoke to the wo-
men briefly on homemaking.
The meeting adjourned, plan
ing to meet again before spring
york begins. s.-Contributed

MISSOURI BREAKING UP

The ice in the Missouri is about
ready to let loose and is expected
to go out within 4S hours. Large
fields of ice have broken up and
moved to the lower site of open
places but the great mass still
holds together. The water is high,
reaching almost or quite to the
top of the banks on the low side.
Thursday no crossings were made
at the ferry site. Today friday
a few have crossed in skiffs on
the open water opposite Oldtown.
Today everything points to an
early break up and early Spring
in fact, it is here right now.

FALL READY TO
UNCOVER FACTS
WITH DEATH NEAR, FORMER
SECRETARY REPORTED
READY TO TALK
Senators Walsh and Nye May Go
To III Mans Home To
Take Statement

WASHINGTON, March PA
subcommittee of the senate Tea
pot dome committee may be sent
to Three Rivers, N. NJ, in an ef-
fort to obtain the full testimony
Of Albert B. Fall about the naval
oil leases.
This matter was considered by
the entire committee Wednesday
afternoon after information had
been received from newspaper
sources that Fall had stated he
was ready ito tell ALL" since his
physicians had informed him he
had only a few months more to
live.
The committee finally decided
to send Fall telegram saying
that subcommittee would be
sent to Three Rivers if he was
ready to testify in full
Fall once refused to testify be-
fore the committee in 1924 after
the oil scandal broke, taking the
ground that for him to do so would
tend to incriminate him. He also
failed to take the stand when he
was tried and acquitted with Ed
ward L. Doheny.
Feel lmputations
During the Fall-Sinclair oil con-
spiracy trial last November, Fall
several times broke into the pro-
ceedings and it was generally re-
ported then that he would take
the stand and tell the whole
story. These reports included
one that the former interior sec
retary had ben cut to the quick by
the charp characterizations of his
official actions by the supreme
court in ordering the return of
the Teapot dome and Elk hills re-
serves to the government after
they had been leased to Harry F.
Sinclair and Edward L. Doheny.

whole story Oh Jile iSdSSS anu HlS

they have long held the firm opin-

Fall in the oil trials, had said .

The semi-finals was between
Pinkie Bolster, Plentywood, 152,

who subbed for Kjos of Frazer.
Flynn started we'll, but was out
classed by Bolster who put him
on the canvas three times in the
first round, the last time for the
full count. Bolster is fast and
shifty youngster The fans would
like to see him in action when
evenly matched.

having the advantage of weight
and condition but it was no de-

FARMERS IN ANNUAL MEET
EMINENT MEN AND WOME EN-
CONTRIBUTE TO GOOD
3-DAY PROGRAM

The firth annual meeting of the
Ft. Peck Farm and Livestock as
sociation was held at the Indian
school gymnasium, at the Agency,
March II. Is and 16, and was
record breaker in point of atten-
dance and general interest.
The program was carried out
with but few changes. Supervisor
Campbell arriving day late ne
cessitated some switching of num-
bers but the presence of Chancel-
lor Brannon and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Mccormack made this pos
sible. so the convention was able
to enjoy the entire program with
out loss.
Banquet
The annual banquet, held at
the Indian school dining room,
Wednesday evening was we'll at
tended and very thoroughly en-
loved. Alvin Warrior acted as
POSTMASTER. Among the out OF
town guests were Rev. Sydney A.
Walker. C. L. Marshall A. M.
Foor and Supt F. H. Livingston
of Wolf Point. Chancellor Bran
non. Lieut.. Gov. w. T. Mccormack
and Murray E. Stebbins, secretary
of the Montana Wool Growers as
sociation, while the Commercial
club of Poplar was represented by
Messrs. Moller, Lundeen, Hanson,
Walker and MCGEE.
After the banquet, Lieut.. Cover
nor Mccormack and Mr.. Stebbins
were adopted into the tribe by
the usual ceremony, Chief Black
Duck and Red Shield, also known
as Uses His Foot, acting in off
cial capacity.
Valuable Addresses
The outstanding numbers of the
convention were the address on
Thursday, playing the Game" by
Chancellor Brannon and that Of
Rev. Walker on Thursday evening,
which was a real treat and an
inspiration to aspire to the moral
standards he set forth in his ap-
peal.
Women's Auxiliary
The Women's meeting held in
the school building on Friday, was
the first auxiliary meeting of the
Association and was most de-
cided success. Miss Haines of
Wolf Point acting as chairman.
The program was carried on with
an enthusiasm that bids fair to
out "pep" the mems meetings in
the future. Supervisor Campbell's
address, and the address of Miss
Hagman, county demonstrator, of
Glasgow were the neucleus around
which revolyed songs, recitations,
demonstrations and talks that
filled the day to overflowing with
good things and was closed by the
serving of refreshments of fruit
punch and cakes.
The fifth annual meeting of the
Ft. Peck Farm and Livestock as
sociation goes into history as an
inspiring, instructive, construc-
tive and harmonious event. May
the association, under Alex San
saver, it's new president, go on in
its good work, and live to see the
inevitable results of harmonious,
community life.-Con-
tributed by Mrs. Chas. Eggers.
