FLATHEADS IN SECRET COUNCIL
Friction Over Demands to Be Made
Upon Government.
MISSOULA, Mont., Feb. 5. The coun
cil of Flathead Indians and chiefs of al
lied tribes is still in session. Those en
gaged m the deliberation of the ques
tions which have arisen, maintain ab
solute silence regarding the proceedings.
No white men are permitted in the coun
cil tepee, and even Agent Belew is ig
norant as to the secret proceeding.
That there Is friction among the head
men of the tribes Is evidenced by the fact
that so much , secrecy is being main
tained. Chief Chariot is known to wield
considerable influence among the older
men in the council, and he Is earnest
in his efforts to secure from President
Roosevelt a forest reserve which shall
forever remain the exclusive property of
the Flathead Indians. Chief Chariot's
plan is to go to Washington In person and
present the Indians side of the question
prior to the issuance of the proclamation
declaring the reservation open for set
tlement. Chariot has frequently complained re
carding the failure of Congress to pro
vide a protection for Indians' firewood
and building logs, and at the time run
ners were sent out to summon the chiefs
Jn council Chariot stated his plan. Since
that time the question of the rights of
selection of land in severalty has come up
In connection with the enrollment which
Is now in progress.

either from Forest Grove or North Yam
hill to Tillamook City, to be afterward ex
tended to Netart's Bay, the citizens to
procure a 100-foot right of way, terminal
grounds and a subsidy of $35,000.
The committee's report recommended
that the necessary money be raised, and
if this was done within 40 days the sub
scribers should hold a meeting and ap
point a committee to enter into a contract
with Mr. Simmons or any other company
that may desire to build a railroad into

Is determined she shall complete the term
as teacher in the eighth grade. Sanborn

The latest fad which has been adopt
ed by the ladies, it is said. Is to wear
one white and one black stocking.
With the editor of this sheet this Is an
old style. He has not only worn socks
of different colors, but at times he has
worn only one, adjustable to either
foot, . '

will be permitted to stand in their way.

Railroad Rate Bill in the House.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 15. Railroad rate
legislation Is to have the right of way in
the House of Representatives during Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday. The rule
making the bill giving the Interstate Com
merce Commission power to fix rates a
special order during sessions which are
to begin an hour earlier than usual on
Tuesday and Wednesday, will be the sub
ject of lively debate Monday.
Opposition to the bill, which has been
agreed on by the Republicans of the com
mittee on Interstate commerce, will be
voiced in the debate on this rule. This
opposition may come from the minority
developed in the Republican conference
Friday, as well as from the Democrats of
the House. If the two hould unite to de
feat the rule, those who have counted
noses say this could be accomplished
should the rule be- adopted, as Is the be
lief of the minority leaders, there will be
no opportunity to amend the bill.
The Democrats will be given an oppor
tunity to show their strength on the Da
vey bill, to be offered as a substitute for
the Esch-Townsend bill, when the time
comes to vote on that measure at 4
o'clock Wednesday. The discussion will
be Interrupted Wednesday to permit the
two Houses of Congress to assemble In
the hall of the House and count the elec
toral vote for President and Vice-President.

result the railroad rate debate will con
tinue. The remainder of the week will be de
voted to consideration of the naval and
river and harbor appropriation bills, both
of which measures usually are subjects
of various debates and lively fights in their
passage through the House.
