Hear- ing Begins in Washington Today ....b.Y.A11.1.1ba......1.111164•1•-•WASAIWINAMIWullb./11.06.1111b The Hardin Commercial Club sends the following message to Senator Joseph M. Dixon: 4, \Senator Joseph M. Dixon, Washington, D. C. The Hardin Commercial Club urges vigorous action on Crow Reservation Bill and passage at this session. All land on ceed- ed strip not taken is unfit for settlement. Will guarantee a settler for every desireable homestead thrown open. Hardin Commercial Club, W. G. Richards, President.\ Today the senate committee on Indian affairs at Washington are holding a heang for the purpoise of learning the causes of opposi- tion on part of Delegation of the Crows, to the opening to settle- ment immediately, of the Crow reservation. Many letters have been written by the leading men of Billings, Hardin and various other towns in this part of the . titate asking to have the reserviition opened and' resolutions to that effect have been adopted by many of the Commercial bodies. The Billings Chamber of Commerce sent a committee of business men to Washington, that the mitter may be put before the coinmittee in the right light. W. A. Silvidge, president of the Billings Chamber of Commerce says: \The Crows have been allot- ed fully four times the amount of land they can successfully cul- tivate, yet notwithstanding this fact, they are protesting vigorous- ly against the bill pending in con- gress. Seven thousand dollars has al- ready been expended by the gov- ernment in building irrigation ditches on lands of the redmen and 2,500, 000 acres will remain for entry on part of the white settlers 'after allotments have been made to the Indians,\ \It is a well known fact that many s of the Indians now own al- lotments which are virtually buried in the middle of the, re- servation and which under exist- ing conditions are of little value but whose worth would be mat- erially increased with coming in- to the territory of white people The delegation of Indians has been doing strenuous work at the nations capital and have suc- ceeded in getting an adverse re- port from the secetary of the in- terior against the opening of the reservation, so I understand. \The people of Birings are vitally interested with all of east- ern Montana, in the opening of the reserve, and all are convinc- ed that instead of being a disad- vantage to the Indians, the settl- ment of the unappropriated land by the white men would be of material benefit to them. It seems to us that the argu- ment the Indians are offering in opposition to the opening of the Crow reservation is very shallow in fact is nothing more than a planned ruse to misslead people not familiar with conditions. They say: - Do not open the res- ervation till all the land has been taken in the strip already thrown open to settlement.\ The fact is all the land that is worth the price required has been taken up. The vacant land is not fit for agricultural purpose and with the exception of a few claims would not be desirable stock ranches and will never be settled for years to come if the settler are required to pay $4 per acre and in addition meet the re- quirments of the homestead law. The opening of this reservation is the demand of the people, we are looking to our represenitives to secure the desired opening. The Big Horn valley is one of the best valleys in this great state and it is not deVeloped nor never can it be till this reserve is thrown open. If the bill is defeated the desire of the majority of the people inter ested will have been ignored. We do not believe that the desire of some shiftless Indians and of perhaps some selfish stock men should have, or will have, the first consideration of our repre- sentives. A Narrow Escape While trying to arrange a bar- rel of gasoline on a box last Mon- day James Weston slipped falling forward causing the barrel to topple over striking him cn his shoulders pinning him to the ground. As the barrel and con- tents weighed about 500 pounds he received injuries which caus- ed his friends considerable alarm. Dr. Free was summoned and up- on close examination stated that there was no bones broken and that with proper care he would soon be as good as ever. Some of Westan's friends desired to have the opinion of Dr. Richards who was called and held a con- sutation with Dr. Free the same evening which resulted in the sustaining of Dr. Free's opinion. At the present writing the pat- ient is gradually gaining. Plans are Being Drawn The school board of district 17 have arranged with artchitect Curtis C. Ohme of Billings, to furnish plans for the new school house to be built in Hardin this summer. The new building is to be a four room building that when completed will cost approx- imetely $20.000. The plan is to finish the two rooms on the first floor and then complete the other rooms as the occasion may re- quire. A new site has also been se- lected for the building, lying west of T. E. Gay's residence, block 11 and 14. It is much higher than the present site and will save the district several hundred dollars that would nec- essarily be expended in grading if the old site was retained. When the building is completed Hardin will have a school build- ing ef which it can justly be proud. Attend the First Annual Ball of the Hardin Fire Department, Feb. 22.

The matter is in the hands of a com- mittee of the city council. The Burlington has reduced its rate on corn from Nebraska points to Billings from 50 to 35 cents.
