Red Cross Meeting
Held at Culbertson

O. C. Johnson, local chairman OF
the Red Cross, accompanied by
c. l.. Marshall, went to gilbert
son Tuesday where R. N. Shepard,
representative in Montana and
North Dakota of the American
Red Cross, met with the head of
the county chapter, Mrs. Ola H.
Smith, and the chairmen Of the
Roosevelt county units for con-
ference. The ten million dollar
drive over the country has virtual
ly been completed, the last report
showing less than a quarter of a
million yet to be subscribed.
In reply to questions Mr.. Shep-
ard gave some information bearing
on the extravagant and false state
ments often circulated concerning
the Red Cross. 1t is a favorite
trick to publish or say that the
president of the national organiza-
ton receives a salary of $4,000
a year. 1t is true. He does. Her
bert Hoover is president of the
American Red Cross and receives
that salary as president of the
United States. John Barton Pay
ne, chairman Of the board, and
actual head of the organization
serves without salary and pays his
own expenses. There are a large
number of paid representatives,
such as Mr.. Shepard, but the great
bulk of the work, he says, is done
by volunteer workers and by local
chapters and branches.

MCCULLOUGH NOW
TRIBESMAN, BIG
CHIEF REDSTONE
AGENCY SUPT. HONORED WITH
NAME FAMOUS AMONG THE
ASSINNIBOINES

The always interesting and i'm.
%pressive ceremony of adoption
was performed at a gathering of
800 Assinniboine Indians at the
Charley Hall farm, Tuesday. The
honored candidate was no less
than H. D. Mccullough, superin-
tendent of the Fort Peck agency.
In adopting him into the tribe the
west-end Indians paid him the
signal honor OF a name held in
highest respect because it is the
name of the last chief they looked
upon as their native leader and
advisor, Chief Redstone.
The leading actors, for the tribe,
in the solemn drama, who made
the orations in the native tongue,
were Blue Cloud veteran of the
U. S. army and James Garfield,
Sr. There was a splendid display
of beaded and feathered regalia
and the customary presents.
Superintendent Mccullough was
given several presents a fine to-
bacco pouch, a beaded headdress
and an i~ntricately carved cane.
Responsive talks were made by
Supt. Mccullough and Sub-Agent
c. H. REM, who took for their
theme the progress of the Indian.
A sumptous dinner was served
after the ceremonies by the older
Indians with Mccullough and REM
exclusive guests.
Incidental to the big day the in
teresting fact was brought out
that Blue Cloud and Old Rock,
two of the older tribesmen were
soldiers at Fort Assinniboine, Mon
tana, when General Pershing, then
a lieutenant, was stationed there.

ARTESIAN WELL WATER
TURNED into MISSOURI

The water of the artesian and gas
we'll now contributes to the vol
ume of the Missouri river, much to
the relief of residents of the i'm
mediate locality near the we'll. The
water has been drained into the
Fairweather street sewer The
natural gas that flows out with
the water gains its liberty in the
process and mingles with the 9TH
er gases of atmosphere. The ar
rangement by the city is temper
airy and to stop the damage being
done to Fifth avenue east Of the
we'll. The street had been made
impossible by the %saturation.
Several efforts have been made
to shut off the flow but were not
entirely successful. The water per-
sisted in coming up between the
outer and inner casing. 1t was
quite a job to get a hole down to
this water and gas, but once there
something had been started.
The water is of moderate temper
allure, perfectly soft and whole
some, but nothing to banker after
as a beverage on account OF GER
tain salts it contains.
Whenever the Swimming Pool
campaign is won and the required
funds are raised, it is the intention
to utilize this water. 1t is really
a valuable asset, especially if some
way can be devised to separate
and confine the natural gas Tor
use in warming the water. There
is scarcely any doubt but that
there is an abundance of both water
and gas for the purpose. With this
wonderful cooperation by nature
the community surely can manage
the rest and provide a place bet
ter and safer than Wolf Creek or
the Missouri for bathing.

May 5th Election
The matter of providing judges
and clerks of election for the spec
ial election on May s., who will
serve without pay. was considered
and a plan was submitted by w.
L. Young which, it is believed, will
accomplish this end. The expense
of this election will be taken from
our state highway funds. Every
dollar of such expense, as well as
every other dollar in the fund, If
matched with federal aid would
mean s2.27 for highway construct
ion. The approval of Bill $50
means that with no additional tax
it will make $4,000, 900 available to
our state when it will be most
needed to hasten development,
bring new money into the state
and improve the unemployment
situation.
General Meeting Soon
The club decided to issue attract
i've membership ~placards for 1881.
1t was also decided to hold another
general meeting of the members
in the near future. V. A. Lowell
and Frank H. Livingston were re-
appointed a social committee to
furnish entertainment and refresh
ments at general meetings.
Various other matters of inter-
est were taken up and will be re-
ported later.
There is no influence in any
community more potent and
powerful for the accomplishment
of good than that of the business

banded together for the purpose
of promoting general welfare of
the entire citizenship.

Just about everybody. sooner or

day brought an entirely new en-
try on the visitors register at the
office of the president of the Com
mercial club, Ed Camrud.
Ed deals in "honkers" and there
is some suspicion that what hap
pened Thursday is a novel advertis-
ing dodge. Dodge is not quite the
right word either, because Ed does
not handle that make. So maybe
it was a stunt. Eds honkers are

Indian Claims
Under an authorization act OF
June 81, 1880, and approved Feb
ruary IA, 1881, congress has appro-
priated 100000 for distribution
among the Sisseton and Wahpeton
Sioux Indians in settlement OF
treaty rights accruing under an
agreement of 1872.
Proof has recently been sent in
by Superintendent Mccullough to
establish the rights of descendants
of these tribes to participate in
the distribution of these funds. The
list sent in and approved by the
agency contains the names of about
1850 of the Fort Peck Indians who
would be eligible to participate,
the lineal descendants Of a number
of them having been traced back to
the signers of the treaty. If the
claims of these Indians here are
allowed, they would receive a lit
tie better than $3.50, 100000 This
would mean much to the reserva-
ton.
In reply to letters from the sec
rotary, replies have been received
from u. S. Senators Walsh and
Wheeler and Representative Scott
Leavitt explaining the situation
and promising support ITO the
claims of the Fort Peck Indians.
