FOREST GRAZING
CHARGES LOWER
FEES FOR CATTLE 1.5S CENTS
FROM 1888 FIGURE AND SHEEP
NEARLY A CENT
Average for IL Western States in 1899
1874 Cents Per Head Per Month for
Cattle. 3.3 Cents for Sheep: Figures
May Vary With Local Conditions.

Montana national forest grazing
fees for both cattle and sheep will
be lower in 1899 than they were
last year, W. W. White, Helena
forest supervisor, announced a few
days ago. All fees for cattle will
be 1.58 cents per head per month
'elow last years and sheep fees
will be "a cents lower. While the
fees will vary with individual
areas, the reductions will apply to all
sections of the Helena forest, White
S4ld. The average fee for II western
states during 1899 will be 1874 cents per
head per month for cattle and 3.3 cents
for sheep. and the Helena fees will not
vary greatly from this average, he
stated.
White explained that the fees are
calculated from two bases. the physical
characteristics of the individual range
compared with private ranges and the
average livestock price in II western
range states for the preceding year.
Using the period 192O-32 for sheep
and l92l-30 for cattle, the bureau of
agricultural economics determined an
average livestock price for both classes.
ana the forest service set base price
in 1881 as result of these findings.
In subsequent years. the fee has been
set IN the same ratio with the 1881 fee
as the preceding years livestock price
average bears to the period average or
the 1881 base
This system gives an average fee to
be charged in the national forests in
II western states. which fee must be
altered to fit local conditions, White
explained. Local range conditions such
as accessibility. type and density of
forage, carrying capacity, water dis
trloutlon, average stock losses, general
topography and fence or Typographical
control will vary the rate to each per
mlttee. Government requirements such
as those for sailing and fire fighting
may also alter the rate, the supervisor
said.
Stock prices for 1898 in Montana
on which the 1899 rate is based, were
S6.1l a hundred for cattle and S674
hundredweight for lambs as computed
by the bureau of agricultural econom-
les. This was about average for the
western states, and gave Montana a
rate 8 percent and 81 percent lower
than the 1881 base rate for cattle and
sheep, respectively, White said.

The story of how the 1900 In
dams on the Flathead reservation
in Montana overcame the pro-
longed effects of depression and
drouth to have, at the end of the
1888 fiscal year, balance of
S4,SS3.76 is told by Harold L.
1ckes, secretary of the interior, in
his annual report to the president,
released from the office of the re-
gional director of United States
Indian service. division of forestry and
grazing, in Billings.
For those numerous persons who be-
leVe. the American Indian is inferior
to his white brothers in such matters
as conserving assets, building up in
come and generally managing his own
affairs, the secretary's report provides
dramatic enlightenment.
Under the Indian reorganization art
OF 1884 the Salish and Kootenai tribes
OF the Flathead reservation of western
NJ on n have performed what
amounts to modern business miracles in
the minds of many non-Indian OBJ
servers. The annual report shows that
these Indians, in the space of a few
years. have completely reversed the
downward trend of their economy and
their morale
An excerpt from the secretary's re-
port reads: The F1athead reservation
IN Montana was the first to be organ
lied under a constitution and to be
Incorporated. 1t was a typical reser-
walton of the northwest, where allot-
ment had broken up an early start in
Stockraising, and later years had
ariz
resources and social stamina.
of the 1.250,OOO acres belonging to
the Indians in 1910 when allotments
were made, no less than 100000 of the
best acres were lost within a period of
20 years The stock business was
smashed, and merchantable timber had
been dissipated. Drouth and depression
in late years left the 1900 Indians ex-
hausted and ambitionlesS
The reorganization act saved for
the reservation 192,425 acres of surplus
land which had not been entered by
homesteaders. The tribal council at
Flathead is aware that land shortage is
one of its most serious problems. The
pest agricultural acres have gone into
white ownership and must be pur-
chased. The council is not willing to
wait for the government to purchase
land with funds made available by
e4AN wi 6aiiiAaeioil dCl, Dul IldS dlTedCy
introduced in congress a bill which
would permit the tribe to use for this
purpose its own funds on deposit in
the United States treasury.
During the fiscal year 1898. the
tribal council submitted a budget call
ing for the expenditure of IS 900 and
requested the secretary of the interior
to make available out of tribal funds
the amount called for in the budget
The approval was given At the end
of the fiscal year financial statement
was rendered which shows that the
tribal council spent total of s2,25O.4
received as income during the year
S,l3421, and at the end of the fiscal
period had balance Of S4,883.76.
1T is almost universally believed that
Indians are improvident with money
and should not be called upon to
handle money. This probably is one of
the least excusable of the miscon-
ceptions which people have of the In
dians,' the secretary concludes.

Mining City Radio Amateurs Have
Installed Disaster Proof Transmitter

Butte will never be completely
cut off from the world, no matter
what sort of catastrophe might
strike the city. An earthquake
might cut off all telephone, tele-
graph and electric power lines but
Butte still would be able to issue

Members of the Butte Amateur
Radio club would be instantly

They have constructed portable radio
transmitting station, completely self
sufficient, needing nothing but gaso-
line with which to operate a portable
5O0-watt generator, capable of making
enough power to allow the powerful
little transmitter to reach out and con-

conditions closely approXimating those

 MT. Smetana appealed to the superior court from Mrs. Verdon's decision. Subsection of Section 810d Supplement to the Connecticut General Statutes provides for an appeal from a commissioners deci- sion to the Superior Court for the county in which is located the em- ployment bureau or branch ip which the original claim for benefits was filed. Judge Daly, after an exam nation of the documents, papers. and transcript of testimony taken in the case, together with the corn- missioner's finding of facts and de- cision, could find no Justification for sustaining MT. Smetana's appeal, and dismissed it, thereby upholdiig Commissioner verdon's decision.
 Judge Daly upheld Commission CT Verdon's opinion that "the claim ant was not physically able to con- tinue at the Union Hardware Co.,: he was not physically able to work elsewhere; he Is not available for work and is ineligible for Unem- ployment Compensation benefits"
