SANDERS CO1'NTY LEDGER. TO PRESERVE HOT SPRINGS Congressman Dixon Visits Flathead Reservation and Examines These Natural Wonders and Will Ask Con- gress to Set Them Aside. Congressman Joseph M. Dixon re- turned to MISSOULA the latter part of last week after a trip across the Flat- - head reservation where he went to view the hot springs that a number of Western Montana people would like to see resrved by the government for a public utility., These springs are considered to be among the best in the state, as their waters are especially adapted for medicinal purpoges, and it would be of material advantage to have them secured as a public prop- erty. Already a number of Indian families are \scrapping among them- selves as to which one. shall be the possessor of the ground on which these spirngs are located, when the allott- Tent of lands to the Indians is made. Sunday's Missoullan has the following interesting story of Congressman Dixon's trip: \Mr. Dixon reports favorably on the ,t Proposition and will take the matter up with the proper officials Upon his return to congress, and will do every- thing In his power to bring about the appropriation. \While enroute from' Plains through the rich Camas prairie, which is a Part of the Flathead _.Indian reserva- tion, to Kalispell Congressman Dixon and Clyde Baker, who was accom- panying Mr. Dixon on the trip, lost their way. ThetrThorses got off of the roepand afterAlghting all of their *frfelFres and trying in every way to find the road, they were forced to spend the night on the prairie. Mr. Dixon stated that with the exception of being a little stiff and sore from lying on the ground, he rather en- joyed the experience. As soon as day- light came the road was soon found and they continued their journey. \The road leads through the Little Bitter Root valley to the McGregor flats, where the famous Hubbard ' ranch is located, which is just north of the reservation line. From there Mr. Dixon and Mr. Baker crossed over to Kalispell. \The.indians on the reservation are already making active preparations, for the election which to to take place in the spring. This election will be for the -purpose of selecting two men from the five tribes Of the reservation who will'be asked to be placed on the board of commissioners who will ap- praise the lands relative to the opening of .the reservation. It will be remem- bered in the Dixon bill regarding the opening of the reservation that a com- mission consisting of five, two front the state, .two front among the Indian tribes of the reservation, and one to be appointed by the department of the in- terior, was provided for, and it is the selection of these two me?t - that the Indians. are making preparations. \II) all probability, a great council will be called some time during the spring, at whidh time all of the ores of the candidates will be proposed and the selection made. Congresstnan Dixon, while on his trip through the reservation, was asked all about' the manner in which the \whtte meo\ held their elections, and it Is thought that the voting of the Indians at the coming election for commissioners will be similar to that of the white man. It is customary with Indian councils that only the head men and sub -chiefs vote, casting the entire votes of their respective factions or tribes. \Among the Indians of the reserva- tion who are mentioned as candidates In the coming election are: Angus McDonald, Duncan McDonald. Joe Al- lard, T. G. Demers, Judge Ka-Ka-shee, Judge Joe Standing Bear, Chief (Ther- iot, Deaf Louie, Antoine Moeise. These are all from the Mission. Those fav- orably mentioned at Ronan are: Chat- kan, chief of the Pend &Oreille; Koss- tah-tah, chief of the Kootenai; Big Louie, chief of the Kalisp-ell, and Jos- eph Little Stone Of Camas. \This election will be watched with a,great deal of interest, as it will he one of the most Important matters that the Indians will have to decide for themselves. All of the Indians are taking - a great interest in the opening of the reservation and are in hearty cooperation with the government, in the proposition. All are most friendly with Mr. Dixon, and ask his advice upon all matter*, showing that they have the highest regard for him and are willing to act according to his In- struction/5 ENTAILS GREATER LOSS.

PLAINS NEWS. RELATIVE TO THE OPENING. Preserve This and You Will Know all About Opening. The Ledger has received a number Of inquiries lately as to when the open- ing of the Flathead reservation would occur and for the benefit of those who are eagerly looking forward to this event, we publish the following state- ment of two well known gentlemen who are perhaps in a better position to know than others: \It will be a physical impossibility for the Flathead reservation to be opened for settlement before the spring of 1907,\ said anniel Arms, register of the land office, after reading an inter- view in a Butte morning paper Jr' which a government surveyor Was quoted as saying that the reservation would be opened in- May, 1906. \There is no possibility of the reservation be- ing opened before 1'907. A commission of fife must first be appointed to appraise the land and the alibirdents to the Indians Must be made before the appralsement. The plats -. of survey have only just been forwarded to Washington by the surveyor general, sotthat in the nature of things the reit- eriation cannot be opened next year.\ —Anaconda Standard. During his recent visit to Plains, the Plainsman says: Congressman Joeeph M. Dixon said: \I am very desirous that the reserva- tion shall be opened up as 80011 as pos- sible and I shall use my influence to expedite matters- in., any way I can. As the matter nov, stands I fear that Ti will be imporible to make the al- lotments and finish the work of the commission which is ta appraise the lands in time to open the reservation next year but will be done early the following spring.\ The social and sale given by the Helping Hand Society of the M. E. church, at Avery's hall last Friday night, lens' well attended and proved very successful. The afafir netted the society about $60. The new meat market will be com- pleted next week. Another large shipment of cattle was made recently by a number of the ranchers and the return will be of great value to the shippers. Rev. C. L. Cone went to Thomptain on Monday night to attend to some business matters relative to the new church now building there.
