KODIAK . DIARY

A long time ago there was a story in the Mirror about two women tourists in Kodiak, who were walking down the Beach road when they came to Q sign that said Green House"
 The story said they went in and asked the madame in charge if she had any cut flowers for sale.
 As time went on the Green House and the Doll House and other houses expanded in the war time boom and after legal difficulties of one sort and anoth- CT the owners left, at least one died and one house burned. 'rhe other houses, including the Green House, sat vacant, and the stigma of the district kept them that way for many months.
 With the housing shortage so acute the buildings finally began te be remodeled into apartments, and now the area is 8 respecta- ble dwelling district, peopTed with civilians and military per sonneI with their families. The Green House has come 8 long way.
 We don't know if all the peop- le who live there are aware of the past history and we wonder ed about it this week. One of the wives, asked for her address, said 1t was the Green House, Kodiak.
 The connotation is still with us, and we must have looked startled when we heard it.
 Knowing the connotation is also still with many others, we decided it would be best to men  ti n the housing developments in case they. too, run into some one with the same address.

Future
Is Encouraging;
Now Not So Good

Regarding the disqualification
outlook at Cut Bank, develop
ments are shaping as to indicate
that the proposed County Mem
orial Hospital will be under con-
struction and completed next
year.
A Pioneer Press story of last
fridays issue contained the fol-
lowing as lead paragraph:
DIR. George D. Waller, James
H. Stack, building contractor,
and Mrs, Mertha Rieder, a for
mer nurse, will confer wi t h
Architect George H. Stanley
here December Is to resolve a
structural plan and design for
the proposed new hospital. This
committee was appointed by the
county commissioners Thursday
afternoon
Other highlights are contained
in the following paragraph:
The county commissioners
Thursday morning directed Coun-
ty Attorney Dan S. WEIGH to
prepare the necessary papers
and resolution preparatory to a
call for bids on Glacier County
Memorial Hospital bonds. The
commissioners will act on the
resolution for sale of the bonds
at the January meeting"
However bright the future;
the situation of there being no
present disqualification facilities
in Cut Bank is one of despair.
Hope is that arrangements
will be made in which the Cut
Bank Hospital, which is now
closed, will be taken over on a
temporary lease basis by a county
group. Also. there is hope of the
Lutheran Society taking over the
project on temporary basis.

Lazy Boy, Aged
Blackfeet, Selected
For G.. N. Calendar

One of the several oldest of
living Blackfeet, Chief Lazy Boy.
who resides in Browning, is in
SEPARATION for the magnificent por-
trait, which appears on the Great
Northern Ry. Co.'s calendar for
1913.
Painted b. iVinold Reiss. ma
tionally famed artist, who for a
number "f ears has done similar
portraiture of Blackfeet full
bloods for the Great Northern
Ry. Co.'S calendars, the Lazy Boy
creation compares with the best
the artist has done in Blackfeet
characterization on canvas.
The following descriptive of
Lazy Boy is printed upon the new
calendar:
Chief Lazy Boys ninety odd
years are many, when measured
by our standard of three score
and ten: yet they stretch into
the very thousands, when mea-
sured by the tremendous gap be-
tween the environment he knew
as young warrior and the act
ual world that surrounds him to-
day.
This Blackfeet patriarch gazes
backward into time to dream of
the fierce, dangerous life he knew
as a young Indian brave before
the turn of the century,
The roud Blackfeet had
c a / led northern Montana and
southern Alberta, Canada, their
home. Most of them now live on
a reservation adjoining Glacier
National Park in Montana.
You would be paying Lazy Boy
the highest of compliments if
you were to address him as "A
great horse thief" For, to the
Lazy Boy of 1880, who fought
the Cheyennes in that year. the

Tough, Tipsy Woman
Puts Run On Man

1t is not enough to say that
anything can happen on the Res
ervation. Naked truth is, every
thing can and does-happen.
Last week there was a piece of
Reservation drama in which the
element of mistaken identity"
set off the fuse to make for a
colorful climax.
AS the story goes, a man called
at the home of a woman, who
had applied for a widows pen
sion from the State Department
of P u bile Welfare. Mistaken
either for one of those ruthless
federal agents so characteristic
of the last decade or else perhaps
a travelling evangelist, the poor
dear man failed to be received
with welcome. In fact, he was
forced to take to his heels, with
the woman in rapid pursuit. Her
temper as fiery as the bottle from
which she had been nipping, she
failed to out-distance him in his
race for his parked car. Happily,
he escaped.
He came not to castigate her of
her sins. His concern was not
that she repenteth, but rather
that she eateth.
Just another of those compen-
sations Montana taxpayers get in
doing the right t ing for the
wrong people.

The Browning Indians opened

Joplin Hilltoppers and following

Sunburst Refiners at Sunburst.
In Fridays game with Joplin,
the Indians won, technically.

the Indians tied the game and
sent it supposedly into overtime
with the score knotted at 1886.
The Joplin coach, however. re-
fused to send the Joplin team in
to overtime for no apparent reas-
on and Referee Rankin Brown
gave the game by forfeit to
Browning under the rule that a
team must play off a tie. Fail
ure or refusal to do so automati-
cally forfeits to the other team.
The two teams fought at near
even terms in the first quarter
which ended 7-6 for Joplin, but
the Hilltoppers grabbed the Of
fessive in the second quarter and
rode to a 17-14 advantage at
half-time.
I The Red Skins grabbed the
lead early in the third quarter
and hung on to a one-point lead
at the end of the third canto.

On July Z, the Blackfeet Tribal
Business Council sent notices of
cancellation of five drilling con-
tracts to five respective contract
ors: Levi and Daisy Burd,
Wright Hagerty, Grace Hagerty.
6. S. Frary and B. L. Frary.
Shortly thereafter the contract
ors denied allegations made and
demanded a hearing. This hear
ing was granted and set for Aug.
IL. The Council requested a two
weeks extension of time in which
to prepare certain data. The re-
quest was granted and the hear
ing was set for Aug. q.
On that date the Tribal Council
and the contractors represented
by legal counsel appeared before
the Agency Supt., O'Hara, and
the hearing commenced.
On Sept. 4 the hearing was
brought to an end, the Supt.
ruling that sufficient evidence had
not been presented to warrant
cancellation of the contracts.
On Sept. 5 the Council decided
to appeal from the ruling of the
Supt. to the Secretary of the
! Interior.
On Oct. 25 the Supt. mailed his
findings to all interested parties
and notified them that they would
be allowed twenty days in which
to file an appeal to the Secretary
of the Interior,
Shortly before the expiration
of this time the Council asked
for further extension of time for
appeal. This request was grant

decided by one or more Council

Tribe beginning Monday MORN
ing, the huge sum representing
a per capita payment of SIS. it
was announced by Tiff Mckay,
Tribal treasurer. The final per

The four per capita payments
are as follows:
April $1O8, 600.
October $500 - 5 81, 900.

An effort to increase the final
years per capita payment to 500
was made, the proposal being by
the Tribal Council t roug h
Agency Superintendent Warren
O'Hara. However, the Secretary
of the Interior at Washington
disapproved of it, inasmuch as it
would be contrary to the policy of
retaining the so per cent crude
oil reserve on hand.
The Tribal Council Office force
this week is busy getting in read
mess for next weeks disburse-,
ment, and for this reason the
building is closed to general rout-
inc business.
