Whatever may be said regarding the
governments treatment of the Indians,
the fact remains that had the high
sense of appreciation as manifested by
Major Mclaughlin been expressed,
communication instead OF severe criti-
cism would have followed. The pro-
cedure of requiring the Indian to live
on a reservation specifically set aside
for him, or in ar agency, so-called,
has its justification only insofar as the
character of the supervision provided
recognized, fully and completely, the
rights of the occupants.
Lack of Cooperation
Lack of cooperative effort between
the department of the interior and
the military forces often led to mis-
understandings with the result that the

dent who Seeks knowledge of State,
Among other interesting features
contained in q letter written by State
Land Commissioner /. M. Brandjord
to Frank w. Harris of Seattle, WASH
in reply to a request for statistical
information on Montana, was the
statement that the commonwealth is
just three times as large as the SOW
ereign state of New York, and has
among other sources of wealth over
half q million acres of water. The
reply was as follows:
In reply to your inquiry of December
% the following information taken
mainly from government reports is
submitted. The total area of the state
of Montana is 94,078, 080 acres, of which
area sos, 440 acres is water. Montana
is the third largest state in the union
being exceeded in size only by Texas
and California. It is just about three
times the area of the state of New
York.
When the state was admitted into
the union, about $4,000 acres were
set aside for the support of public
schools, and two-thirds of one million
acres wa granted the state for various
other public purposes.
The areas of lands yet controlled by
the federal government are approx
mately as follows:
Unappropriated public lands, $780,
900 acres.
Total area Of forest reserves, 1885,
900 acres.
This is the total area but there are
privately owned lands within the
boundaries of these forests which will
reduce the net area to less than 16,00O,-
600 acres.
Indian reservations, allotted, o,759,-
300; Indian reservations, unallotted,
770,135; total, $500, 435.
Area of national parks and monu-
ments about loo, 900.
The figures for national parks and
monuments are not directly obtained
from government reports and have no
way Of verifying the exact area.
The state of Montana has the small
est area of unappropriated public lands
of any of the IL western states with
the exception of the state Of Washing
ton.

SouiCIl upon WHICH tie DIO MOI OdEC
To Have His Vote Matter of Record
Many novel excuses have been ad-
vanced by legislators, congressman,
senator's and convention delegates
to escape being put on record by roll
call, but it has remained for a for
mer Butte man to establish a prece-
len in this line, say his friends.
He invoked the shadow of a man,
dead more than 300 years, to assist
him in escaping the obligation to
vote on a measure before the body
of which he was a member.
T. j. Nerny, now Of Chicago, former
Butte alderman, once advanced the
most novel reason yet recorded for re-
fusing to set a date for a special meet
ing-that he "had a date with Shake
speare and couldn't break it,
Alderman Nerny was at that time
manager Of the Butte brewery. A mat
ter came up before the council on
which he didn't wish to be recorded
whether he voted for or against it
would hurt his business. He tried to
dodge the question. His brother alder
men were determined that Nerny
should go on record along with the
rest.
Merry had himself excused before the
hot" question came up. The council,
when the question was reached, con-
tinued it to the next meeting. Nerny
again excused himself early-and the
council again continued the matter.
When Merry lodged the third time the
council decided to consider the ques-
ton at a special meeting and-to in
sure Nerny's attendance-called on him
to fix the date.
Nerny stroked his chin thoughtfully.
II shall be out Of town Monday on a
family matter" he said.
How about Tuesday,"
MY board of directors meets on
Tuesday"
Then we will fix the date for
Wednesday,"
my lodge meets on Wednesday,"
Nerny answered, with a worried look.
Then you could attend a meeting
Thursday"
II have promised to attend a meet
ing of a church committee Thursday
This reply was given after some
thought. The committee felt they had
him cornered. He had called on mis-
business, lodge, church and family 0bli-

you can't have anything for Fri
day." the committee men exclaimed,
almost In one voice, I'VE will meet Fri
day."
The dapper little alderman teetered
back and forth, rising on Ills toes and
dropping back on his heels. Sudden
ly he brought the points of his fingers
together and a brilliant smile illun,ined
his face. Richard was himself again.
"Ah, ah, gentlemen" he said arch
ly, do not seek to rob me of one Of
my dearest weekly pleasures. Every
Friday evening I spend the evening

you know"
The aldermen exchanged glances.

Left Him Cold
Paris Hop Joke May
Have Been Funny, but
Not to CoSte Manager.

Bv United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Dieu-
IN dome Coste and Colonel
Lindbergh may assume a perfect
pose of nonchalance at the pros
pect of an ocean flight, but to
Rene Recover, Coste's American
manager. the possibility of trip
to Paris by air is no joke.
> Racover reveiled this when he
landed at Valley Stream, L. L,
after hop from Washington.
Some of the staff at the field noted
that Racover was pale and APP
parently shaken.
Then Marcel Doret, Racover's
pilot confessed that he was "hav-
ing a little fun" at Racover's ex-
pense.
When the Lockheed ship left
Newark Tuesday for Long Island
after accompanying Coste and
Bellonte from Washington, Doret
pointed the craft in the general
direction of Paris.
Reaching the Atlantic, Doret
motioned to Racover that they
were now Paris bound.
Racover, according to Doret
didn't relish the idea. After ex-
planning that he was lacking in
wardrobe and other essentials, he
finally prevailed upon Doret to
turn back.

WOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK,
l. Cal, Sept. 10.-The black ants
are among the worlds most expert
fire-fighters, is the conclusion of
Ranger F. S. Carl of Yosemite
national park. Ranger Carl be-
lieves that human beings might
find it worth while to study their
tactics.
Describing one blaze, caused by
a lighted match near a big black
ant hill, Ranger Carl said that
about fifty ants started promptly
for the fire and jumped right into
it kicking and biting. Meanwhile,
other ants kept on with their
work.
Then a lighted cigaret was
thrown near the match, and a
larger force of ants fastened to
the scene and destroyed the CT
garet. Some Of the heroic little
firemen we're burned to death, or
so badly burned that others killed
them. But for every ant disabled,
another took its place. After the
fire was out, other ants were sent
to pick up the fallen.
Throughout the emergency,
lasting half an hour, the fire was
fought in the most orderly man
ner, attesting to a highly efficient
organization, Ranger Carl said.

LONDON DAILY PRINTS
NEWS IN LARGE VAN
Radio, Rolling Press Permit Rapid
Delivery Of Late Items.

LONDON, Sept. 1O.-Something
new to Londoners in the way of fast
delivery of late news to readers has
been accomplished by the London
evening newspaper, the Star, which
regularly is operating stop press
printing establishment in its largest
delivery van.
The equipment comprises a COM
plete composing frame and tyre
cases, and a suction-fed Bush print
ing machine capable of printing
anything up to three thirty-line
news items at a speed up to 10000
copies an hour.
News items are received by radio
from the offices of the Star and are
set up and run off in the so-called
blank fudge column" as fast as
they are received. The printing can
be done as the van is rushing de-
hveries TO the more distant suburbs,
but it is more customary to install
the van outside horse races, football
or other sports meetings, enabling
the spectators as the meeting breaks
up to buy London papers with the
very last-second news in them.

TRIP TO ARCTIC
Explorer Ends 18th Voyage
to Far North; Seven
Boys on Journey.

81 United Press
BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Me, Sept.
1O.-The veteran Arctic schooner
Bowdoin was back in Maine waters
today, marking the end of Com
mander Donald B. MacMillan's
thirteenth expedition into the far
north.
The trim white vessel, bearing
seven men and seven boys, besides
her famous skipper, put in here on
Tuesday night after an uneventful
homeward cruise from beyond the
Arctice Circle. She was expected to
proceed today to Wiscasset, her
home port.
In contrast to most of Com
mander MacNillan's previous ex-
petitions, the journey just ended
did not have scientific exploration
as its paramount purpose.
When the Bowdoin sailed from
Wiscasset last June 81, she carried
forty desks and miscellaneous
schoolroom equipment, which were
installed in the Eskimo school which
Macmillan erected last year near his
scientific experiment station at
Main, Labrador.
The youngest member of the ex-
petition, and possibly the youngest
person ever to visit the far north,
was MacN1illian's cabin boy, William
A. Thomas Jr., 10. of Chicago, whose
father went as ships doctor.

NORTH CHINESE
RULERS CRUSH
RED MENACE
Soviet Views Given Short
Shrift in Vast Region
Near Frontier.
BY d. c. BESS
United Press Staff Correspondent

PEIPING, Sept. 10.-The vast,
remote region just this side of the
Siberian frontier once more has
turned to the task of crushing So
Wet influence.
Alarmed by the sensational sue
cess of Communist raids south of
the Yangtze river, war lords of
north China have revived the cam
paign of determination instituted
against the Bolsheviks by the late
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, Manchu-
ria overload.
Today Chinese even remotely sus-
pected of connection with Soviet
Russia are being rounded up and
held in jail or executed.
Short Shrift in Manchuria
Old Chang thoroughly disliked
and feared everything which came
out of Russia. Soviet ideas we're
repulsive to him.
Every so often he rounded up per-
sons of doubtful notions, young and
old, and shot them without much
discussion or investigation.
His son and successor, Chang
Hseuh-Liang, was, as a son, more
liberal. But since his accession, the
young marshal is almost as reac-
tionary as his father was, and Com
munists get short sl1rift in Man
churia. There seems little likeli-
hood that Soviet menace" will
make Roadway in Manchuria for a
long time to come.
Special Hunting Machine
Marshal Yen Hsi-Shan, the

ince, equally is suspicious of radical
ideas and radical persons.

DICTATORS OF

Portugal Latest in Line of

PARIS, Sept 10-The sway Of
the dictator in Europe. instead Of
declining, is spreading, and growing
more powerful.
Students of international politics
point TO the announcement that
Portugal may be considered to have
slipped definitely into line with
other nations Of the old world which
2 are governed by the iron rule Of an
individual
General Carmona, for years the
energetic, military minded president
Of Portugal, entered the ranks OF
the dictators when he announced
the revolutionary plots which have
so frequently shaken Portugal.
Ideas Like Spanish Group
This viii be dictatorship sup
ported by a political group with
ideas largely resembling those OF
neighboring Spain, where one-man
rule already has existed for nearly
q decade.
Portugal has had eighteen revo-
lutions in as many years.
When General Primo de Rivera,
the strong man of Spain, died In
Paris about six months ago while
on vacation, certain circles believed
his passing would mark the first
breach in the bulwarks of one-man
rule in Europe. Then General Ber-
enguer came to initiate the dead
statesman and has remined firmly
at the helm, despite predictions on
all sides that he would not last
long.
In Poland, Pilsudski, the nations
sman of iron," has come back again
TO power after a brief eclipse.
DictatOrs Riding High
The king-dictator of Yugo-Slavia,
Alexander, continues doing his job
apparently to the satisfaction Of his
subjects.
The self-crowned monarch Of Al
bania, zogu, previously the national
dictator, remains firm in his exalted
political seat, supported and COM
forted by the strong-man tactics
of his near-neighbor Signor Musso-
lini, whose regime goes on despite

sination.
