On the Flathead Reservation Passing of the Indian in Western Montana Marks Epoch in Northwest History The iitory of the Inroads of settle ment Into the Flathead Indian r enerva tion in Western Montana forms one of the moat interesting, if one of the saddest, chapter In, the conquest of the West. Mad because it mark the (rradiiul crowding intvof a peaceable tribe of native American from the home their father have chinned for generation, and. the consequent thrust ing upon them of a civilization they did not invite yet welcomed. For year tho Flathead, or ftelish Indian, nlmred the Bitter Hoot valley with the white men, even going so far a to protect them against the attack of outside tribe. It was they who sunt four expedition to St. Iouis to induce the missionaries to come and tell them of the white man' medicine after Ig nnoe La Mousse hud come at the bead of a band of Iroquois with the my teriou faith. Three of these expedi tion were never heard of again Hrave and fearless warriors, they yet treated the whites with more consid (ration than the average tribes. Jocko valley. Envoy of the govern ment came with the document for the chief signature, bnt Chariot wa ob durate. Hi protecting arm had often beep bared to keep the whites within his valley from danger. The Bitter Hoot valley had been the home of hi ancestor for age and be would not sign any paper renouncing forever the rights of hi tribe to these lands. The pension offered him and the freedom of roaming at will were scorned. lint Arloe, war chief, elected by the full vote of the people, found the mercenary motive in his heart and' accepted the term thus offered him, supplanted ('harlot as chief and moved with a large part of the tribe into the Jocko valley. Chariot made a trip to Wash ington and entered his protest, beg ging for the privilege of staying in the land of hi fathers. , But his re quest we unheeded. A few years later all trace of the Indian's possession in this valley ha disappeared. Now the Jocko valley is filling np rapidly with whites.

Almost no reservoirs are needed for this division and the work has so far progressed that several thousand acre are now under the ditch. Water was turned into the caaal and lateral in 1910 and wa distributed to as many of the Indians as desired it. The result is apparent from the luxurjant growth to be found where water ha been applied. Several thousand acre in the Mission valley were also brought under the ditch dur ing the same year. Since 1910 addi tional acreage ha been added each year. In the Mission .valley 113,000 acres will eventually be supplied with water, which will be assembled from all the streams in the vicinity. A series of reservoir and a connecting feeder canal will store up the supply, which pumping plant will be developed at Newell dam and will be conveyed into the several divisions by high-power lines.

Milwaukee Road Open Into Moses Lake Country Branch Line Now Tap DUtrict Which It Rapidly Coming to the Front. Much Activity Manifested in Lands, and Glowing Reports of Immense Fruit Crops Are Receive It. II. Williams, president of the Chi cago, Milwaukee k l'ugnt Sound Hail way, has just received in bis Seattle office several sample of apples and gnipt-s grown ou a twenty-acre orchard in the new Moses Lake district oast of We im tehee. The owner secured 10,. oimi boxes of apples alone from his ruiu-h 'luring the season just past. The Milwaukee rond has completed a brunch line into the Moses Lake dis trict, which is now in operation into the town of Neppcl, and several proj ect nro under way for the reclama tion of large areas of land. Hecent de velopment lit this new fruitgrowing section have resulted In considerable activity on the part of the railroad, who recognize thn district a a future feeder of roiisidcrublu importance. The Oreat Northern Railway has surveyed a cut-off from its main lino which passes through the center of this re gion. Reports of tho largo crops raised by those who havo already settled in the Moses Lake country have aroused much interest here, and n large number of .Sent tlo people have become f inancinlly interested in the district. One firm is just now placing on the market four en tire sections of these lands, which are Irrigated by mean of pumping plants. The entire district is underlaid with sheet water, and in fact it was the re cent discovery of this water which cnused the great activity in the dis trict. Now settlers are going in by tho hundreds. Regarding thia new coon try and its prospects Ira D. Edwards of Wenntcbeo was recently quoted as follows: 'I have never seen any orchard in the Wenntchce valley superior to the one I have just visited in the Moses Lako region. The orchard referred to is the Tiehaeek homestead. I simply marvel at the magnificent fruit they have grown there. The tree are now six and seven years old and they aver age 12 to 15 boxes to the tree. Last season there was harvested on this place 10,000 boxes of fancy apples, which brought 1.4.1 per box net through the Wenatehee Fruit Growers' Association. The orchard produced about 6000 boxes of Jonathan alone. They ran fully 00 per cent extra fancy. The size wai better than four tier on tho average. "Feoplo in othor districts have no conception of whnt they are doing in the Moses Lake district. Canadians from across the border seem to bo ap preciating the district more than those of u who live nearer to it. Between 13 and 20 sections of Moses Lake or chard land have been sold to Cana dians in the last few months. "First thing we know we folks in Wenatehee and other parts of the Northwest are going to wake up to the fact that wo must pay about twi.ee as much for acreage, around Moses Lake as it is selling for today. There is a great opportunity in this country." In the Jocko Valley of the Flathead Reservation it is alleged that Owen Johnson, who is so fond of describing the impish tricks of his schoolmates at Lawrence ville and Yale, was not any too good a youngster himself. Auyyay, tho other day the alumni of tho Morse School, which Johnson once attended, held a dinner, and Johnson spoke. Said he: "I suppose that I was tho worst boy that ever wont through Morse." He expected to hear tho customary "Awr-I was twice ns bud," from everyone. But to a mnn, old pupils and former masters, they shouted: "You worot" Chicago Hoc-(ird-Hornld. President Tat is a busy man these days, getting ready to turn over the key to the White House. Champion McCarty will not fight Jack Johnson unless tho public de mands it. No danger. The public is too much interested in keeping tho ti tle in white, hunds. Tho country in which they grew up s rich in the grandeur of scenery, with a wealth of tradition and historical in cident. The vallevs and hills abound n retreats, each with its own myth and story. Wonderful waterfalls and lakes aro to be found everywhere, adding harm and mystery to the one-time haunts of primitive man. Now the In dians aro passing and the footprint of h'lB outward path are being obliterated by tho vineyard, the orchard and the field of grain. Thus the ambition of the white man is gradually encroaching upon the Indian lands, and a peaceable coercion is being used to induce him to retreat farther back. For years tha Indian and the white man lived in poace together in the Bit ter Hoot valley. Gradually it filled up with immigrants from the East, and tho Garfield treaty was drawn up to induce the Indian to retire into the .Mr. Henry Clay Frick has begun the construction of a $3,000,000 residence in New York City..

Neck to Neck for Possession . of Eastern Oregon Territory The fight between Hill and Harriman lines for possession of Eastern Oregon presented many interesting situations. Entering the coveted terri tory by the Deschutes river canyon, tho rival railroads pushed their lines of construction down either Bide of the river, one camp being ahead one day and the other tho next.

For though the Flathead Indian is still a part of the Flathead reserva tion, he is not the Indian of old. The younger generation care little for the encroachments of civilization, but those of the old days who are still alive view with regret the passing of the day 8 of their youth. As time goes on the young men offer less resistance to the white man's ways and even welcome his teachings. - The Flathead irrigation project is one of the many efforts of Uncle Sam to bring the rose out of the hungry soil. It contemplates the irrigation of 152,000 acres in the Jocko, Mission, Lit tle Bitter Root and Camas valleys on the west side of Flathead Lake. Of this amount 16,000 acres of the Jocko valley will be watered by means of a River and Sullivan Creek, and in the southwest part of the reservation the flow of Camas and Cottonwood creeks will supply 5000 acres. The soil of the Flathead reservation is clay, forest loam and gravelly loam, and responds quickly to the application of water. The rainfall in this district is often ample for the production pf most forms of vegetation, and the de mands on canals and reservoirs will be inconsiderable in those seasons. Where irrigation has been applied, however, the results have surpassed even the hopes of the most sanguine. The val leys have been coming to the front steadily during the past few years in the variety and quality of their agri cultural products. Complete and in tensive development is only awaiting the completion of the system of canals that will distribute water over the 152, 000 acres. Shaw Explains Water's Value Irrigation Expert Tells the Western Agriculturists of Best Methods to Bring Results ' In singing the praises of irrigation one must not lose sight of the fact that oftentimes the greatest returns from a piece of irrigated land result from feeding tlie entire farm product and taking it off in . the form of dairy products and meat. This commands particular attention at present in view of the high price tf beef and tho ac knowledged scarcity of it in the en tire country. Western irrigation has demonstrated its effectiveness and is still in its infancy. It remains for farmers and fruit growers to find how the best returns may be realized from its application, Frofessor Thomas Shaw, a prominent railroad agricultur ist, emphasized the value of dairying and stock raising on irrigated lands in a recent address before the Oregon Irrigation Congress. While his remarks are applied to Oregon in particular, they cover the subject in its applica tion to every irrigated district in the West, for the general principle prevails that where water is brought on to land its best returns may be realized from an intensive application of the profit arising therefrom. Frqfessor Shaw says in part: "In no line of production can irri gation render a better return than in furnishing food that will be turned into milk and other dairy products, meat and wool. For the growing of these products the door of development stands open. In no line of agricultural production is the chance to make good money better or even as good. "The reasons for the stability pf the livestock business in the future are many. The increase, in the number of consumers for meat and daiTy products is proceeding at a much faster Tate than the animals which produce these products. The same line of reasoning may be applied to wool and poultry and the products of poultry. The statis tics published by the United States De partment of Agriculture make this claim absolutely certain. "On the irrigated lands the oppor tunities for growing swine are superla tively .good. This is more especially true when the swine are grown in connection with dairying. It follows from the abundance of food that can be grown which is exactly adapted to the needs of the swine. No pasture has ever been produced that will meet their needs in better form than alfalfa or that will produce so much food per acre, and where can alfalfa be grown better than on the irrigated lands of Oregon f It follows from the further facts that the grain that produces the pork of the highest quality, such' as barley and field peas, mny be grown in the first form on these lands. The cli mate also favors such production. Its equable and mild character favors the production of two litters per year from the same dam should this be desired. In areas with cold winters it is scarce ly practicable to grow profitably two litters in one season. "Pork thusygrown should not cost the producer more than three cents per pound. It cannot be grown more cheaply in the best sections of the corn belt, nor can the corn belt pro duce bacon of equal quality with Ore gon. The conditions for growing pork of the highest quality on the irrigated lands of Oregon are at least as good as they are in Denmark, and Oregon has a great lead in the natural rich ness of the soil and in the equable char acter of the climate. Why should not Oregon soon become an exporter of high class bacon T "The irrigated and irrigable lands have special adaptation for the produc tion at low cost of dairy products, whether milk, butter, cheese of the by products of the dairy, as skim milk and buttermilk. "Good water, so essential in dairy husbandry, is abundant in all sections where irrigation is practicable in Ore gon. This follows from the fact that the water comes from living streams that in nearly all instances are cradled in the mountains. The relation be tween pure water, abundant in sup ply, and high ' quality in the dairy product is so close as to be inseparable. "The Oregon dairyman has a great advantage over dairymen, for instance, who live in climates that are less equable. He is not handicapped by such heat in summer that comes to the South nor by the cold in the win ter that comes to the North east of the Rocky Mountains. To the Oregon dairyman the equable climate brings much advantage. It enables him to prolong the grazing season and it calls for less expensive shelter . Some per sons cherish the view that the man liv ing on irrigated lands, whose holding is usually limited, has not room on which to graze his cattle, but they fail to consider that the production of irri gated lands in pasture is quite as large, relatively, as the production of the same in hay. "With the price for dairy products as they are and as has been shown, it is not probable; that they will be less in the near future. The dairyman on irrigated land should reap a very profitable return. With sucB possibili ties within reach of the Oregon dairy man it will be greatly to the discredit of Oregon farmers if the ' state con tinues for any considerable period to be a purchaser of dairy products."
