Donald and his mother meant
nothing to them. They were just
part of a new family that probably
wouldn't move in the Bartlett's set
at all. They were just an unin-
tereSting woman who wore funny
hats, and lanky boy who had no

The next day at school, she
avoided Donald She had only TO
look at him now TO see in him
what June had seen. And those
ridiculous qualities were the only
ones she could see The nice things
were all blotted out.
How in the world, she asked
herself again and again, could she
have thought he was something
special. She should be grateful TO
June for showing her he was just
a dope. And yet, strangely, she
wasn't grateful. She felt as If
she had been robbed of the incest
thing in her life.

NberGLized Truck
Regulations LikeIy
To Become LASTING

/ Permanent liberalization of state
laws governing operations of trucks
and buses is seen as one of the post
war effects Of the interstate agree
ment on commercial vehicles. Jesse
Jones, secretary of commerce, has
stated.
Under the agreement, to which the
governors of all 48 states have sub
scribed, any state laws governing the
sizes. weights and operations OF COM
mercial vehicles win be waived for the
duration Of the war, unless they are
at least as liberal as the uniform
standard agreed upon through the
council Of state governments. Trucks
also win be permitted to go from one
state TO another without payment OF
additional fees, taxes or other changes.
Although the agreement is binding
only until the end of the war, it is
believed that many Of the states whose
motor vehicle laws and regulations are
unnecessarily restrictive and whose
statutory limits on truck sizes, weights
and operations are obsolete and old
fashioned win amend these laws dur
ing 1913 when their legislatures meet,
to make them at least as liberal as
the wartime uniform minimum.

WHITES DEFEAT
INDIANS AGAIN
SIOUX FIND THAT TREATY THEY
SIGNED BACK IN 1877 WAS
WORTH NOTHING

Sioux Indians lost a s739. II6 .25t
claim against the United States re-
Gently.
The court Of claims dismissed a suit
filed by the Sioux for the money as
remuneration for the taking away by
the white men in 1877 of the Sioux
lands comprising nearly the whole
north central section Of the United
States.
The Indians contended they were
forced to sign treaties giving up the
lands as a condition to getting sub
Sistence from the white men.
In a 73-page resume of Sioux his
tory from 1851, the court concluded:
In essence. the present claim is
oral rather than legal, and before we
can adjudicate and render Judgment
on 1t, we must have from congress
clear authority TO do so.
The court concludes as a matter
Of law that plaintiff (the Sioux In
dians) Is not entitled to recover and
the petition is therefore dismissed"
The Indians based their claim on a
treaty OF 1858 and protested principal
ly about the loss Of gold bearing land
In the Black Hills.
While the decision did not indicate
exactly which lands were involved, it
said that the original Sioux territory
comprised what are now the states Of

The history Of the fort begins IN 1876
and 1877 when the Indians from the
Bitter Root valley we're removed TO the
/ Flathead reservation and an army post
was needed to establish order Col. c.
c. Gilbert laid out the fort and shortly
after company I Of the Eighth infantry
came and took quarters In a log cabin

fantry arrived in November, 1877, and
built the log officers quarters and
some frame barracks
Primitive Water System
The water system used until 1899
consisted of q water wagon resembling
a boat and filled with water baled from
the river and a rubber hose. Every
morning this was driven to the houses
and barracks to fiji up the barrels.

the late Sen. J. M. Dixon it was saved
and new concrete barracks were built
During the World war the government
opened a school for mechanics at the
fort and 200 men were stationed there
The post was unoccupied until 1871
when one battalion Of the 58th IN
fantry was sent to garrison it. In June,
1922. this battalion became the first !

STATEMENT EMBOSSED

Endorsement of the presidents
statement that he saw no point in
restriction of use of gasoline in areas
where gas and oil are produced, nor
in areas which get their supplies from
pipelines, was issued by Montanans,
Inc. The statement is peculiarly ap-
plicable to Montana, officials pointed
out, since Montana is an oil and gas
producing state whose tourist industry
IS threatened by curtailment of the
use Of gasoline.
