Record. READY FOR OPENING: Surveys of the Flathead Reservation Lands to Begin hi the Spring. As soon as spring opens and weath- er permits the work of surveying the Crow and Flathead reservation. 'por- tions of which will be opened to set- tlement, will be continued. Large corps of surveyors were at work last hall and worked on both reservations until they were forced to suspend on atcount of cold weather. Prepara- tions are now being made to resume the work, however, and It is expect- ed that seemsl of surveyors will be put on to up e work. nigsth th It is thought that the survey of the Crow reservation will be completed by the latter part of July. The sur- veyor -general of Montana will then certify up the records to the general of Ice at Washington after which there arekvarious details to be worked out before the reservations will be finally opened to settlers. The allotments must 'be made to the Indians- and a plan formulated for the systematic settling of the land, together with the price which is to be paid for it. It is not expected that the reservation will. be opened to settlement until very late this fall or probably not until next spring. The Flathead reservation will pro- bably be opened Met, as the surveys will not be completed until after the Crow reservation Is disposed of. That is, it will take longer. to server-4We reservation than the Crow reservation and naturally will follow It as it will be oertified to later.—Helena Record. • STATE BOARD OFFERS LAND.

This is especially the case near Holt, where the snow fell consider- ably deeper than on the west side of the valley, covering up the feeding grounds and making it hard for the birds to get anything to eat The in- tense cold of the past week they would have stood all right if they had been able to get plenty of food, bet the combination has been too hard for them. • If you like the looks of The hedger help it along by subscribing for It. • • • • S6a • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • , • • • • • ••••••••••••••• • • • • • CHAS.

Trout Caught' at Darby Skins Yellow- , stone Champion. Up in the Bitter Root valley is a fisherman who doepn't thank very, much of the 8 1-2 pound trout that won. a silver model at the St. Louis expo- sition. A. EL .1Crirap, better known among the reindenWribbut Hamliton and Dalthy-as \Uncle Ben,\ is willing to admit that 8 1-2 pounds is consid- erable for a Yellowstone trout, but he says that the Bitter Root river can go that more than four pounds better. He sends a photograph of a trout he caught with hook and line near Darby, and the picture is accompanied by his solemn statement that It weighed 12 3-4 pounds When caught, and tee pic- ture looks it. He also says that it is the record catch for that part of the state. Prior to his haul the biggest trout record was of one that weighed 10'1:2 pounds, caught in the came lo- cality.—Stasidard.
