the present concern is that of
ways and means o f matching
that sum when it is released af-
ter the close of the war.
The funds are now "frozen' as
with other funds that the feder-
al government 'froze' until re-
lease for peacetime needs.
Montana is required to match
on basis of approximately 20
per cent upwards in order to get
federal funds released for the
road construction program. The
plan, which has resulted in the
states splendid system of roads
to date, is destined to be carried
Que to an unprecedented extent
during the years Of the wars af.
termath, one of its bi-products to
be the furnishing of employment
to many of the returned soldiers.
In M r. Sherburne's opinion,
the highlight piece of legislation
of the remaing days of the leg
islative session will De in behalf
of the road program. He said
that Governor Ford felt sure of
appropriate action.
Visiting both houses o the
legislature while in Helena. he
was convinced that legislative in
telligence and courage were
higher than those in many years,
with accomplishments in keeping
with the gifts of legislators.

The second quarter the Wolves
tried vainly. but the Indians
fought off every attack. Tn rough
out the quarter the Wolves kept
throwing the ball away. yet were
successful i n stopping the L.
dams stretching their lead. The
quarter ended in the score of II
to 8 in favor of the Indians, the
Wolves points being made by
lucky long shots without much
team work.
The third quarter was the
highlight of the game, with the
Wolves playing better ball and at
one time taking the lead. How
ever, the Indians oyercame this,
the quarter ending "even.Ste

Starting the final quarter, the
Indians opened up with every.

lead. With only few seconds
to go. the Indians put the game

Tribal Lands Would
Be Exploited By
BIackfeet indians

Pointing out that oil is more
precious than gold at this par.
ticular time, j. J. Galbreath is
busy at present interesting Black
feet Indians in a plan in which
m m b ers of the reservation
would participate in the max
mum in the financial returns from
petroleum exploitation on tribal
lands, which would be carried on
by them.
Galbreath said that there are
at least IL fields now lying idle,
the structures being defined in
geological verbiage as domes,
anticlines and monoclines.
They have a SO out of a hun
dred chance of being good pro-
ducers. with the Blackfeets en-.
joyin9 financial benefits t h t
would pale into insignificance the
present returns under the tribal
lease plan, according to G a !.
breath.
Citing that oil is all-important
in the successful prosecution of
the war. Galbreath pointed to the
recent appeal of heads of vital
war materials groups for drilling
Of wild cat wells in 1913. At
least 100 ne W wells on tribal
lands, he said, should be t h e
goal.
The governments need for oil
would be sufficient solicita-
ton for the necessary capital to
finance the project. Under such
circumstance h major thing
would be in getting the Blackfeet
Indians efforts unified in h e
plans acceptance.
Galbreath contends that every
citizen. regardless of whether or
not he or she is member of the
Blackfeet tribe, should do their
share in promotion of the plan.
since the benefits to be enjoyed
would be shared DO all.
