WOULD OPEN THE CROW RESERVATION Senator Dixon Introduces Bill ---Chamber of Commerce of Billings Passes Resolutions of Endorse- ments ---Opening Will Mean Homes for 20,000 Families The bill introduced by Senator Dixon for the opening of the Crow lands is receiving much support. On Tuesday the fol- lowing resolutions passed by the Billings Chamber of Com- merce were forwarded to Senator Dixon: \The Billings Chamber of Com- merce at its meeting today pass- ed resolutions heartily endorsing your bill for the opening of the Crow reservation to settlement. We stand ready to assist you in every way possible and assure you that we appreciate your ef- forts along this line.\ There are more than 2,000,000 acres in this great reserve and Secretary Brayton of the cham- ber of commerce of Billings, esti- mates that if each Indian on the reservation was to receive his al- lotment not more than one -sixth of this vast domain would thereby be appropriated. The remaining five -sixth would provide home , * for 20,000 families and it sho - d be given over to them for settle- ment. Some of the most fertil lands in eastern Montana are to be found in the valleys of the Big and Little Horn rivers, and the fact that the Indians have raised splendid crops of almost every kind during the last decade shows what can be done were the lands given over to the white settler. The reserve is also said to be rich in minerals and it is believed that oil and gas may be found in the Pryor mountain country. With development of these re- sources of the territory immense benefits wodlti accrue particular- ly .to Hardin as it is die logical gateway td this domain. ., • Costly Sport Chas. Hutton recently received a deputy game warden commis- sion and on Monday grabbed Claud Sweeting for violating the game Sweeting and Chas. Johnson were camped about six miles up the river where they were en- gaged in trapping. Hutton got suspicious of them and accord- ingly went to the camp where he found a chicken waiting for the frying pan. Sweeting acknow- ledged that he shot the bird and accompanied Huttorr• to Judge Johnston's office where he was fined $25 and cost amounting in all to $31.50. Meetings Well Attended Rev. Pope of Park City and Rev. Windross of Roundup, have been holding religious services in the school house each evening this week closing with tonight. The meetings have been well at- tended and much interest has teen manifested. Rev. Wind- - ;-oss is a forceful speaker, ever having his subject well in hand he presents it in such a wtiy as to appeal to the reasoning indi- vidual. Rev. Pope states that they are planning on returning here sometime during the winter and will conduct another series at that time. Rear End Collission A rear end collision occurred Monday evening just east of Lit- tle Horn on the Burlington which resulted in the utter demolishing of the caboose, seven cars loaded with coal and the complete strip- ping of the engine. A hot box had caused the train in the lead to stop and before the crew could get a- flag out the second train came crashing into it with the...above results. Fire broke out and burned the wrecked cars and a -portion of the coal before it could be controlled. The crew were uninjured. H. M.

The ceremony was performed by Joseph Pope, traveling medi- cine man of the Congregational churches. Big Warrior, E. A.

A Close Call Hardin came nearly being the scene of a fast fire Sunday after- noon. Fire was discovered in the lumber office of the - H. M. Allen & Co., by Mrs. C. B. Schneider who was driving the place with a sleighing party. The alarm was given and in a few moments a crowd had assembled. As the office was locked the doer was - broken open and with the help of many hands and by the use of snow the fire was soon ex- tinguished. The damage was very light as there was but a small hole burned in the floor. The fire supposedly originated from the stove. Had it not been for the timely discovery by Mrs. Schneider Hardin would have had a blaze that would have destroy- ed thousands of dollars worth of property. Will Work Coal Mine Cotter Bros. and H. S. Ekle- berry have completed arrange- ' ments whereby they will work the recently discovered coal mine at the head of the Sorrel Horse creek. It will be the aim of, these gentlemen to mine suffi- cient quantity to be able to furn- ish the surroundingl-anchers and perhaps more. This will not only be a great convenience and sav- ing to the ranchers but will also serve to develop the mine enabling to ascertain about what the find WATER STAGE I VERY LOW Burlington Railway Company Relay Pipes For Water in Big Horn River The water tank of the Burling- ton railway at this place which furnishes water for the Toluca branah, also water for the Hard- in Water and Power company has been nearly empty for the past few days owing to the ex- tremely low !stage of water in the Big Horn river. The well on the bank of the river from which the water is supplied by means of a pump has a pipe laid into what was con- sidered the low water bed of the river, butsOwing to the extreem low stage has proven to be sev- eral feet short, failing to supply the demand. The compan, has just completed the extension of the pipe several feet furthe? in- to the stream and a sufficient supply is easily obtained. Road :Master Larson says that the wa- ter stage of the river is fully two feet lower than it has been at any time since the road has been built. Gets Jail Sentence R. J. Davis, the \third trick\ man at the depot who hopped out last week with the funds of the company and was held in Billings till the matter was adjusted, was brought here last Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Bateman on a warrant sworn out by .1. S. Tup- per for the,stealing of a valuable watch. The watch belonged to a local party who had turned it over to Mr.Tupper for safe keep- ing. Davis took it from the safe f ind when arrested in Billings had pawned it for $10. Deputy Bateman secured the watch and returned it to Mr. Tupper. The young man was arranged before Judge Johnston on Tues- day and after pleading guilty was - fined $50 and cost. In lieu of the fine not being forth com- ing Deputy Sheriff Bateman took him to the county jail in Billings where he will be priveleged to enjoy 47 days confinemente-Davis committed crime enough to have given him several years behind the bars and he pan consider him- self lucky to get off with so light a sentence.

And they will be, if he will show himself patient, kind ad neighborly, al- ways willing to give more than he receives. That is the true essence of neighborliness. We have a right to be suspicious of those people who do not have good neighbors. Generally they do not deserve them. We re- member once of saying the same thing to a woman who was coin- plaining about her neighbors, she seemed surprised, evidently she had never thought of the old saying, \If you want. friends show yourself friendly.\ Many people get impatient over a little seed of that sort they have sown, and unless a big return is made at once they fly the track. We never knew the instance where an unselfish, kindly man did not have good treatment in return. Ex.
