To day being a national holiday, .it cannot be expected that it was strictly observed in this remote corner of the earth. Men could be seen traveling to and fro driving stock, hauling wood and attending to other duties, as occasion requir ed. Others, who were not thus employed, availed themselves of the opportunity to hunt or fish, as the day was all that could be de- j ♦ • sired for such sport, the weather being mild, ground bare, only dot ted with a few snow drifts. Des pite the predictions of foreign and domestic weather prophets, we have for the past two months been enjoying such weather as is usual ly found in Italy only. If those living in the remote East could be convinced of the mildness of our climate, our fine agricultural and grazing lands, tney would doubt less follow the advice of the late lamented Horace Greely and “ go west.” Could the residents of storm swept Dakota and Idaho but realize that a person living within ten miles of the base of the Rocky Mauntains, coukl have been seen upon almost any day riding on horseback or in wagons, minus a coat, during the month o f January and February, they would doubtless be willing to abandon their claims and take up their abode with us. The school enroolment at the new school house has been incr-' as- ed lately from 37 to 74, and doubt less the school wil Isoon be filled to its full capacity, 100. An addi tional teacher will soon be provid ed to assist Miss Ross,and an indus trial teacher for the boys will soon be added to the force. Assistant Farmer James Brown is now sta tioned at the school house. . .. Bids for field seeds were opened at the agency on the 17th inst., for the following: Oats, 25.000 lb; potatoes, 25,0001b; wheat, 4,0001b; timothy 6eed, 10 bushels. The bids were: W. F. Burgy, of Great- Falls, oats, $1,95 per cwt.; wheat, $2,35 do; potatoes, $1,90 do; timo thy seed $3,25 per bushel. Phem- ister & Gallagher, of Dupuyer. oats, $1,75; wheat, $2,25; potatoes, $1,4.0; timothy seed, $3,25. W. D. Jones, of Dupuyer, oats, $2,24; wheat, $2,74; potatoes, $1,49; timo thy seed, $4,50. As these bids will all have to go. to the Commission er of Indian Affairs for his action, it will be some days yet before it is known to whom is awarded the contract. U. S. Attorney Weed has noti fied Commissioner Garrett that under the decission of the U. S. Circuit Court in, tli’e cáse of the LT. S. vs. Pavtelln, the U. S. courts have.exclusive jurisdiction - of all crimes committed within the lim its of' anj’’ Indian reservation in (he District of Montana. This de cission will result in- quite a sav ing to Choteau county’s treasury, \as 'a'large slice'of tlie\county’s in debtedness accrued from, these cases. The postmaster at Piegan, the Blackfeet Agency office, complains (hat mail matters are much mixed at his office*.. Net a mail arrives, but what a.n'um^er of letters and papers intended .for Piegan Sta tion, which is oii'.th.e Great Falls & Canada railway, and for Black- foot City, Deer Lodge county, ar- rives„at his office and have to be remailed to their proper destina tions. Mail, addressed to Black- feet Agency frequently goes to Blackfoot C ity.' A registered package for adetachmentof Cana dian Mounted Police, and addres sed to Blackfeet Agency, recen’ iy met with a like experience, caus ing a delay o f several days. Black foot Station, on tne line of the Great Northern railway, and 14 miles north of the agency, also shares, inconveniences caused by the similarity of names, its mail matter frequently going lo Black foot City. The postal and railway authorities should get (heir heads together and give us one Black foot instead of three, and one Pie-, gan instead of two. A petition is being circulated to have (he Choteau mail route ex tended on north from Piegan (Blackfeet Agency) .to Blackfoot Station, a distance of 13,4 miles, to take effect April 1st 1892. It is un derstood that a railroad mail ser vice will :be established ' bn the Great Northern extension on that date^and by extending the route a saving of thirlv-six hours can he made in the delivery of mail at the agency. A gain can also be mado at the post-offices of Robare, Dupuyer and Bynum. Your correspondent is informed that an “ inspector of Schools” is now eh route for the new school house, and, is expected there in a few. days. • -, ^ , “ S Y NAX.” V i
