Upon motion by William Buffalo
Hide and seconded by Mac William
son it was ordered that two beeves
be purchased and distributed to
each of the five different Indian
communities, for their Christmas
celebration. The beef will go to
Heart Butte, Little Badger, Old
Agency, Browning and Starr school.
A circular from the U. S. Attorney
General, Frank Murphy, relative to
the Hatch act which prohibits gov
eminent employees from participant
ing in political affairs. This drew
fireworks and after considerable
discussion, it was decided to in
struct the chairman to attempt to
secure further interpretations es-
pecially with relation to the tribal
constitution with regard to the
Hatch bill. This is being done.
Another question under discus
sion arose from the motion of VIM.
Buffalo Hide relative the securing
of subsistence loans for needy
Blackfeet loan clients. The matter
was referred to the credit commit
tee for action.
Meeting again at loo p. m, the
Council again went into another
discussion of the Hatch act. After
some vigorous discussion, upon mo-
ton by Brian Connolly, seconded
by Buffalo Hide, the Council unani-
mously agreed to adopt the U. S.
Attorney Generals Interpretation of
the Hatch act.
Considerable debate ensued over
the condition Of the old Indians liv-
ing the small houses back of the
Agency square. It was reported to
the Council that the houses are dir
ty and filthy and the inhabitants
were all more or less short of food.
Upon motion by Levi Burd it was
ordered that the Council meet in
special session, Monday, December
ii at 1000 A. M. to consider the
coming election and other matters
pertaining to that event Carried
unanimously.
The Council adjourned at 2:10 p.
m. to meet with a delegation of the
old full bloods who wanted to talk
over tribal matters with the Coun-
Gil. At this meeting, the attendance
was small, at no time were there
more than 20 or Is people in the
hall. The old people through their
speakers expressed frankly their
opinions as to what they desired,
particularly stressing the fact that
it was their desire to place on the
Council, eight full bloods and five
mixed bloods, at the coming cleo
ton. Nothing definite was arrived
at as it appeared plainly that the
old people are not familiar with the
workings of the Blackfeet constitu-
ton and by laws and while their
desires and wishes were laudable,
they were informed that the Coun-
Gil had no authority to call off the
election as some 1000 other Indi-
ans had a right to express their
opinions and they would object to
such procedure.

At q special meeting of the
tribal council held Monday. Dec

matters q letter concerning the
Hatch act and its relation to the
Blackfeet constitution and by
laws was received from W. r.
Mcdonald, attorney. Browning.
Other opinions from various at.
torneys, throughout the country,
are daily expected.
The question arose as to who
could be q member of the council,
whether = moo Indian but adopted
into the tribe could serve on the
council. 1t was decided they could
not.
Several full bloods were in at
tendance and expressed their
views on the coming election.
The date for filing for the COM
ing election was from the present
day, Dec. 18th with the closing
day. Dec. 80. 1889. The filing fee
was set at $500 and the date of

day, Jan. 16. 1910. The polls open
at 800 am. and close at 800 D.
m. With regard to voting pre-
cincts. Judges. clerks Of election,
etc, it was decided to defer &C.
ton on these subjects until the
regular meeting Jan. 4.
The question Does an Indian
have to vote where his or her
land is located or must they vote
where they actually reside" came
up. After vigorous discussion, the
council decided that they must
vote where they actually reside
or have kept a regular home.

Tribal Council Meeting Dec. 9TH

The Blackfeet Tribal Business
Council held their regular Decem-
Der session Last Thursday, Dec. 7th.
The regular election for councilmen
being near at hand, most of the dis
cussion naturally swung to plans
for the coming election.
The request of Mr.. A. Wilkinson
who is the owner of tribal oil lease
No. 126 to change ownership title
from his individual name to that of
Wilkinson-Potter, Inc. was granted.
A vigorous discussion ensued
when the Council again considered
the Blacheet land purchase pro-
gram. 1t appears that when the pro-
gram was first inaugurated, no
mention was made of any charges
being made against the land to be
purchased but recently upon receipt
of some of the approved deeds, op-
Grafton and maintenance charges
have been assessed against many of
the tracts. Also the government is
attempting to collect reimbursable
indebtedness. There has been a
great deal of dissatisfaction express
sed as to the way the land purchase
payments are being made. It was
the unanimous opinion of the Coun-
Gil that the government is in error
along these lines and eventually it
was agreed to appoint a committee
to consult with the local agency and
draft letter protesting the actions
taken by the government with re-
gard to collections of money due
the government.
The matter of improving the pre-
sent system Of bookkeeping now in
use by the tribe was next taken up
by the council. After some discus
sion it was ordered that the new
forms be ordered.
Monthly oil reports from the u.
S. G.. s., were read to the council,
as follows: August, 1899, $4,189.85
and September, 1899, S4,272.96-
this being net royalty paid the tribe
for the two months mentioned.
While considering the matter of
the tribe royalty receipts as above
kCASAACA w. lllS ifdtIcI VI IdVlIlR
another oil and gas lease was again
given consideration. In order to
comply with all the Indian depart
ment requirements, it was decided
to set the day Of January 4, 1910 as
the date the Council will receive
bids from Indians or Indian coopera-
tive associations under their prefer
entail rights to apply for oil and
gas leases of Blackfeet tribal oil and
gas lands. The lands listed are the
same tracts as advertised for the
August 18th sale of Last summer, all
being in the south Cut Bank field
and on the extreme east end of the
There was considerable discussion
as to why the tribe cannot have a
per capita payment but nothing ar
rived at as the Council took the at
titude that as new election is now
in sight it may be advisable to have
the new council handle the subject.

T0ngles
BY Harry Troupe Brewer

There's JOY in the hearts Of folks
Where sunshine peeks about;
1t takes a lot of sunshine, too,
To put old gloom to route.
Hearts are often heavy with
Some ugly clouds of care.
But when you let the sunshine in
The clouds just aren't there.
Thots are often clouded, too,
BY what some have to say,
But if you stop to analyze
The clouds just float away.
Distorted often are the minds
When lost in fogs OF doubt
Eut when YOU think the tangles
thru
Distortions tumble out
Often minds are burdened then
With thOts that are not sound;
JOY or grief that you may reap
Depends on road you're bound.

TWO NEW GASOLINES ARE
MADE AVAILABLE TODAY
New Products Are Result Of An
Extensive Laboratory Research

Two new gasolines were made avail
able to motorists today at all ESQ
dealer stations. The products will be
branded New ESQ, a priced
motor fuel meeting specifications for
premium-priced gasolines, and ESQ
Extra. a new premium fuel replacing
the company's old ESQ. These new
products are the result of extensive
laboratory research and a long pro-
cram of advance testing both in the
laboratories and under actual service
conditions on the nations streets and
highways, according to Mr.. H. H.
Wicgand, local manager Of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey.
"Recent improvements in automo-
bile engines make practicable the use
of improved fuels through which
maximum power and speed may be
obtained. For best performance many
automobiles today require gasoline Of
a quality available only at premium
prices a few years ago" Mr. Weigand
explained.
an six years the average compress
sion ratio of automobiles rose to % per
cent, average engine speeds jumped 81
per cent, and average power devel-
oped leaped 80 per cent, Obviously en-
gines with such improved standards
require superior fuels if they are to
operate at maximum efficiency.
ESQ Marketers laboratories are
constantly testing new models of au-
tomobiles and developing new and i'm
proved motor fuels. These two new
products are the result of the work
of the same chronological and research
organizations which pioneered the use
of tetraethyl lead in regular grade
gasolines, which showed the way to
overcome vapor lock, which introduced
patented solvent oil and which put
into effect the first really effective
system of making available gasoline
specifically suited to the climate of the
locality in which it was purchased"
