from disturbing bellows from

ings for its area.
They have done nearly every
thing with unusual success.
The association was organized
on May 20, 1908, with Charles
McCauley, a member of the
White House staff. as president,

and the quail were the most
numerous denizens in the area, y

BY 1927. the group was 1926
strong. and in 1888. the pubhca-
ton reported the Rhode Island
avenue group had the largest
paid membership in the District
Today, because of the shifting
population, the association has
700 members.
The "go-getter" character OF
the group soon became known
to District and Congressional
leaders.
The association Immediately
took steps to improve streets,
sidewalks. street lighting and
sewer facilities. Streetcar serv-
ice and school facilities came
next on the long list Of improve
ments
BY 1927, the efforts of the
association were paying big divi-
dends The John Burroughs and
Woodbridge School Buildings were
completed. and appropriations
for the construction of a public
library was made.

$l,225,ooo Paid
To Bluckfeet Since
October Last Year

Approximately S1,150,00O has
been received by members of
the Blackfeet Tribe since last
October, the sum representing
per capita payments accumula-
ting from Tribal oil royalty.
Three per capita payments of
$50 have been paid by the Tribal
Council since last October, one
being that month, another in
December and third one in
February of this year.
This week a payment of ap-
proximately $4,000 is being paid
as an advance on the next per
capita payment. Maximum ad-
vance to a family is $1,000. I'm
der the Tribal Councils policy
governing this weeks advance,
an individual may secure SIS. If
the family includes only hus-
band and wife the advanve is
$50. A family of four-husband,
wife and two children-may get
an advance of S100, but regard
less of the size of the family be-
yond four, the maximum of $500
governs the situation.
The next per capita payment
will be made the latter part of
the year, according to Tribal
Council officials. Obviously, to
be deducted from that will be
the advance being made this
week. a&
Including this weeks advance
the total since last October will
amount to S1,225,00O

Band Members Selling
Tickets On Bicycle

Members of the local public
school bands are selling rattle
tickets on a bicycle. Date of the
rattle is Saturday, June II. Mon
ey derived from the ticket sale
will be used to purchase mu-
steal instruments for the bands.
Repeatedly. the sale of tickets
thus far has been very slow.
Youngsters are being urged to
turn in their money as they sell
tickets. Unsold tickets should
be turned back not later than
June 10. The punctual report OF
sales is important as it enables
the Band Boosters to determine
whether or not to hold the draw
ing on June II or to postpone 1t
to some future date. The post
ponement would provide an in
creased period of time in which
to attain the desired goal of
sales.

Morning Gun Well
Drilling Resumed,
She'll Oil To Drill

No new developments have &C.
CURED at the Morning Gun we'll
of the Union Oil Company,
southwest of Browning, since
the sensational announcement
was made two weeks ago that
good flow of gas had been found
at or near the top of the Madi-
son lime, at a depth of a little
less than 10000 feet, considera-
bly, higher on the structure than
was anticipated.
When word got around that
this gas flow had been encount-
cred, many wild rumors were set
in motion, mostly greatly exag-
Grated.
1t is now known that when the
gas flow was found, drilling was
halted until a full appraisal of
the extent of the gas could be
determined. In bringing the tools
out of the hole for further tests,
the bit stuck, and for several
days a first class fishing job
was necessary. The tools we're fl
nally removed the first of this
week, and Tuesday night the cor
ing operation was resumed, but
no Information is obtainable as
to what results, if any, are be-
ing achieved
Experienced oil operators in
terpret the finding of good
gas flow at the top of the lime
as an indication, at least, that
the expected big flow of gas, or
possibly oil, will be found at
lower depth. But until the test
ing is completed, the importance
of this early development will
not be known.
In the meantime, other drill
ing operations are getting under
way. Continental is moving in
rotary equipment for their test
northwest of Browning; the
Heep well on the HarwooC place
southwest of Browning is get
ting ready to start drilling, and
it is understood that the Union
Oil will drill their second well,
after completing the Morning
Gun test, on a location in the
Heart Butte area. It is also I'M
derstood that the Shell Oil
Company will drill this spring on
their acreage three or four mil
es south of the Morning Gun
location, south of Two Medicine
Creek, on a lease for which they
paid a fabulous price last year

Glacier View Dam
Bill Introduction
At Next Congress

A bill to create Glacier View
Dam in Glacier National Park
at the next session of Congress
promises to be the next import
ant development in the contro-
versy between the Bureau of
Reclamation and the National
Park Service.
Reporting on his recent trip to
Washington, D. c., to members
of the Kalispell Chamber of
Commerce directors, Clark Ma
son, secretary.manager, said SEN
ator Mike Mansfield told him
that the two Montana senators,
himself and Senator Murray,
would introduce the bill.
Mason told the board he had
informed Mansfield that for the
first time there is almost COM
plete support for the dam from
all groups in the valley. He said
also that he talked for almost
an hour with Secretary of the
Interior Douglas Mckay about
power development in the north
west.
Mason said Mckay was unwill-
ing to commit himself for publ
cation on the subject of Glacier
View dam but the interior secre-
tary said there would be opposi-
ton to the project from the Fish
and Wildlife Service and the
Parks Service within his own de-
partment.

Money Talks In
Town This Week

With advance payments on fu-
ture per capitas under way since
Tuesday morning at the Tribal
office, there's more fun in
Browning than a band of mon
keys.
The payments, according to
sources at the Tribal office, will
total $4,000, assuming the en-
tire population will ask for an
advance. In the past, not all
members of the tribe have ask
ed for an advance, realizing that
in the end they would have more
money.
Not all of the $4,000 will be
released for spending in this
immediate area, it is explained.
Practically one-third of the
people of Blackfeet blood live
off the reservation, some in 9TH
er counties, some in other states
There are number of them who
have never been on the reserva-
ton. They know nothing of In
dian tradition nor Indian pro-
blems.
That money is filthy luker" is
the impression to be gained by
observing some of the unplea-
santries exhibited in Browning
this week. However, sensible
people without unreasonable ad-
dictions are deporting themselv-
es as they should. They are
mindful of the rainy day" when
insolvency looms as the harsh
teacher.

Many Have Been
Indicted Into
BIuckfeet Tribe

Over the years thousands OF
people in various walks of life
have been indicted as honorary
members of the Blackfeet Tribe
Members of congress, presi-
dental candidates, movie stars,
and journalists today may
scratch their head and, probably
with difficulty, recall the In.
dian name the sponsor gave
them.
The ceremony does not neces.
sarily have to be carried out on
the Blackfeet reservation, though
because of the picturesque
quality provided by an Indian
locale, such a drama cannot help
but be more impressive if en-
acted in Indian territory.
An interesting youth, Meri-
wether Lewis, a great-nephew of
Meriwether Lewis of the histor-
ic Lewis and Clark expedition
$50 years ago, was indicted in
to the tribe last Friday and CIV
en- the name, Buffalo Shield.
The ceremony was at the
Plains Museum, with Theodore
Last Star sponsor.
The youth, whose home is in
Tacoma, Wash, is retracing some
of the path of his distinguished
great-uncle as he with others
of the expedition back in the
early 18OO's treked their way
through Montana.
