DEBT BURDENED FARMERS
GIVEN CHANCE TO RECOUP
May Scale Down Obligations To
Within Their Ability To
Pay Out.

The provisions of the farm
mortgage act passed by both
houses and signed by the presi-
dent gives debt burdened farmers
a chance to scale down their obi
cations, if the obligations are be-
yond their ability to pay.
Perhaps your need does not
justify your taking advantage of
the provisions of this measure.
We hope you are not in such
desperate financial condition. It
should only be used in the most
extreme cases. Experience, howev-
er, in presenting hundreds of ap-
plications for loans from Montana
farmers to the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration leads us to believe
that the occasional selfish creditor
should be prevented from FORE
closing on distressed farm debtors.
IF you happen to be one of these
unfortunate debtors this bill will
help you keep your farm home. It
also may interest other, more
fortunate farmers, to know that
in these troublous times they
have additional protection against
the loss of their property.
Under the terms of the law any
farmer who Is dissatisfied with
any composition agreement reach
ed under the bankruptcy act may
demand a reappraisal of the value
of his property at its then fair
and reasonable market value" If
the creditor refuses to accept, all
proceedings, such as mortgages
foreclosures, must be stayed for
five years. The farmer in the
meantime would retain possession
of his mortgaged property paying
a reasonable rental to the court
for its use.
Some have expressed fears that
insurance companies and the like
will suffer great loss because
farmers will attempt to evade
payment when able to meet obi
cations. In signing the measure
President Roosevelt said, II have
sufficient faith in the overwhelm-
ing majority of farmers to believe
they will not evade the payment
Of just debts" We agree with the
president.
Any one of the Big Horn county
committee will be glad to help.

over to the captain, Robert yell
loWtail; but before 1 sit down !
want to read to you the following
telegram from Commissioner Col
lier, addressed to Robc. YelloWtail:
"'You RI to-day appointed SUI
perintendent of the Crow reser-
walton. This action is in accord
with the popular wish of the Crow
tribe and with our belief that
you will meet the extremely diff
ficult problems of the Office in
the spirit of disinterested i'm
personal devotion and co-opera-
ton with every element of the
tribes life. It is the Crow tribe
which must settle its own prob
lens and make its own future and
I fully hope and believe this day
will mark the beginning of a bet
ter time. Please read to assem-
bled crowd"
After the above speeches in turn
were interpreted to the Crows,
Robert Yellowtail was introduced
and delivered his inaugural ad-
dress. which was a stirring one
and listened to with rapt atten-
ton by the large assemblage.
Superintendent Yellowtail spoke
as follows:
Fellow tribesmen and friends:
Occasions of this kind usually
demand some word or statement
from the recipient of the honors
to be conferred. I first want to
thank you all for the splendid vote
you gave me in the referendum
vote ordered by the commissioner.
I wish to explain at this time that
that vote to me was worth more
than the honor, duty and respon-
sibility I have just assumed by the
solemn oath of Office which I have
just taken.
Had this appointment never
come, I would have felt no chagrin
as your public and tribal endorse
ment of me in the face of a deter
mined opposition by those Indians
and whites who felt otherwise,
and who did all they could to
prevent my appointment, means
more to me than any honor that
can come from the Office I have
lust assumed. We, in this country,
live as you know, under a two
party system of government
wherein the minority or losing
party. has a right to criticize and
prevent, If possible, by honorable
means and methods, the election

EXPECT GUSHER IN new
WELL AT SOAP CREEK
California Company Ready To
Drill Into Production on
Tribal Well No. 3-8,

The new well being drilled at
Soap Creek field by the California
Independent Oil Co. designated as
Tribal Well No. 3-8, on the Crow
Indian reservation, is nearing
completion. This well would have
been completed some time ago,
but when the crew was preparing
to set 8A-inch casing preparatory
to drilling into production a cave
in caught the bailer and thus IA
days were lost in drilling through
the lost bailer. During this week
8A-inch casing was run and set
at 1887 feet and drilling was car
ried through 80 feet of saturated
Tensleep sand. From this sand 300
feet of oil arose in the hole with
a strong flow Of non-inflammable
gas. The bit at last reports was
working in a hard formation Just
above the Amsden formation,
from which formation large pro-
duction is expected. The produc-
ton string Of 6-inch casing is be-
ing run to be set at about 1900
feet before going into the Amsden.
The management feels optimistic
about the new well and express
the probability Of It being a well

The River Rises Five Feet Over
Neutrality-suspicious. Lose
Boat and Food.

Cloudbursts in the upper reach
es of the Big Horn river water
shed, somewhere down in Wyom-
ing, caused the Big Horn river at
Hardin to rise some four or five
feet. The river was unusually
swift and the water, according to
test by the Hardin water depart
ment, carried $50 silt. The fluid
which came from the water taps
over the greater part of the bust
ness and residential part of town
was almost as thick as mortar, so
much so that most families were
forced to go out into the country
and get drinking water either
from springs or wells. for three
or four days. The past two days
the water is clearing up, but it
still is not clear, though the city
water department forbade the
owners Of lawns and gardens to
irrigate from Tuesday until Thurs
dav.

canyon had some startling ex-
periences because of the sudden
rise of water in the river. Oscar
Sullivan and James w. WATSON,
boating down the river from Kane,
Wyo., at the upper end of the Big
Horn canyon, were caught on
Sunday night, just below Devils
canyon, where they had anchored
their boat and camped for the
night. Without warning the water
rose seven feet, carried away their
boat, their bedding. their food,
and everything but their clothing.
They found the boat the next day.
two miles below their camp, and
the oars a couple of miles farther
down stream, but their other be-
longings were gone for good.
While the boat was somewhat
battered, it still was seaworthy,
and they finally came out with it.
Attorney Dave l.. Egnew and
Ralph v. Scott. who motored to
Kane, late last week with the in
tention of coming through the
CANYON by boat changed their
minds when they saw the rise in
the river and returned home the
way they went-by auto.

ThREEDM BASEBALL TOURNAMENT COMMENCING TO-DAY
WOULD HAVE A CNCH IF
1T COULD HIT so STRONG

Senator A. J. Plumer, a dirt
farmer from the Treasure county
side of the Sarpy district, a few
miles south from Hysham, accom-
panied by a neighbor, M. A.
French, who has the distinction
of having raised 300 bushels of
alfalfa seed last year, was in Har-
din Monday on a business mission.
While here they called on Senator
John A. Putnam and discussed
legislative matters that may come
up at the next state assembly.
These two state senators are
classed by the Montana Progress
sive as hitting one thousand per
cent. The baseball team that does
that in the three-day baseball
tournament opening in Hardin to-
day will have a cinch on first
money.

and to the members OF the tribe.
In closing, he said:
Il ask you to get Fundamentally
behind MI Yellowtail and make
this answer to the Great White
Father at Washington: We have
accepted him. Be reasonable in
your demands of him and you
will never be sorry OF this change"
Attorney Dan Maddox followed
in a short talk in which he said
in part: my friends, there must
have been great rejoicing in the
Happy Hunting Grounds to-day
because a full-blood Crow Indian
has been made Crow superintend-
ent. Chief Plenty Coups is un-
doubtedly happy to see whom you
have chosen as your s~uperintend-
ent-not superintendent of the
majority, but of the minority as
well.
Bob Yellowtail has the ability
and the desire to make you a
good superintendent and if he
makes mistakes, they will be of
the head and not of the heart.
Some day I hope to refer to
Bob as Mr.. Commissioner instead
of MI. Superintendent"
The next speaker on the pro-
gram was Warren L. O'Hara, an
inspector Of the interior depart
ment, who for the past three
months has been acting superin-
tendent at Grow Agency. In
part he said:
"This is, indeed, an event in
my official life. I have had many
years experience in the govern
ment service, but this is some
thing I never dreamed of. In
accord with the plan of the COM
missioner Of Indian affairs to
turn the government of Indian
reservations over to the Indians

past three months and am proud
to play a small part in this event.
