Mrs. Dixon The Dream Man Washington, April 5.—In the case of Henry Henkel, his wife, Caroline, and four children, who appealed from the decision of the federal court for the district of Montana, the supreme court af firmed the lower courts decision and'held that the secretary of in terior has the right under the rec lamation law to acquire private holdings for reservoir and similar public uses. In this case the secretary condemned the .lands of the Henkel family, who are members o f the Piegan tribe of Indians with land holdings on the Blackfeet reservation. They were paid §7,500 for their improvements and given permission to select 800 acres of public lands in lieu of the lands condemned. Ouster proceedings were nec essary to get possession of the land and these proceedings were sustained by today’s decision. Senator T. J. Walsh was one of the counsel appearing for the Henkel family in the trial. Belleview Items Mr. Jas. Johnson of the ranger station and Mr. Philip Rodolph of Choteau spent Friday evening with friends in this community. A number from here attend the new Sunday school at Watson Flat each Sunday. At a very enthusiastic meeting held at the school house on the evening of April 2nd, a Farmers’ club was organized for the pur pose of promoting our social, intellectual and financial welfare. ..The following officers were elec ted for the ensuing five months: President—Harlow Freeman Vice-president—John W. Ward Secretary—Robert Miller Program manager—-Carrie Miller The next meeting will probably be held May 1st and an interest ing program is being prepared for the occasion.

Notice to Clean-Up Warm weather is approaching and in order that no unsanitary conditions may arise, due to ac cumulation o f rubbish during the winter months, and in order to eliminate all breeding places for flies, a well as to preserve a neat .and tidy appearance to our town, all persons are hereby notified to at once clean up their premises and the alleys adjacent thereto. Any person or persons failing to do so will be dealt with according to ordinance No. 10 of the Town of Choteau. We want the co op eration of everybody in a general clean-up. WALTER GORHAM, Marshal. flarriage Licenses Since our last report marriage licenses have been issued by James Gibson, clerk of the district court, as follows: Edward Eugene Carlan, 24, and Nina Lorene McRae, 20, both of Valier. Philip Sure Chief, 21, and Mary Bull plume, 18, both o f Browning. The board of commissioners were in session a couple of days the first of the week, all members being present.- Most of the ses sion was devoted to the considera tion of road matters and the pay ment of claims against the county. After considerable discussion the board decided that it would be unwise for them at this time to take any action on several appli cations for free seed grain, for the reason that similar laws in' other states have been declared uncon stitutional, and the county attor ney of Teton county was of the opinion that the law would be held unconstitutional b y th e supreme court- of this state. No opinion on the law has been re ceived by the board from Mon tana’s attorney general. Therejwere several applications for free seeds, but it was found on investigation that many of them could not be supplied, even though the law was held to be constitutional.

Last Friday night at the East school house of district number eight a spelling bee was pulled off but not before it had stung the kids in Mr. C. A. Bard’s school for they went down to defeat. A gratifying lunch was served by the ladies of the district and music furnished by the pupils helped to pass a very pleasant evening. The words were very ably pronounced by Miss Curran. At a hotly contested election for school trustee in district No. 8, Mr. Jacobson was re-elected by a majority of seven votes. He received twenty, and his fair antagonist, Mrs. John Carlson, received the unlucky number of thirteen. Mr. Shipstead paid a business visit to Brady last Monday.

From the success of these experiments, tests will be made from the sugar beets raised and data kept on the progress of the plant. With the flethodists Considerable interest is being manifest over the series of religi ous services now in progress at the First Metl odist church. Rev.

He was a priest in St. Mary’s cathedral, Broadway, N. Y. for three years and was pastor of Methodist churches in New York and Pennsylvania before coming to Montana. \ Ho worked six weeks among foreign speaking nationalities in the slums of New Yt rk city dur ing which time he and his asso ciates witnessed three hundred eighty-six conversions.
