STRANGE FIGURE A special to the Minneapolis Savoy, Mbnt., Journal from half way across the About says: the Great on gtate of Montana Northern line, with the Milk river as its northern boundary, Is .situated the Port Belknap Indian reservation.!" Some 60,000 acres of the Reservation lands are in thq the great - Milk river' valley,, : Under the Pride of Montana , W.R.4Lo-gansupervision of.Mlajor Indian agent, a complete rigation system, covering 30,000 acres of this valley land,1 has been constructed solely by Indian labor. Many of the Indians have allotment selected their and "are cultivating the' soil in such a way as to bring most ex- -- 40-ac- re cellehrcfop returns. Probably no Indian reservation in the United States offers as striking an illustration of what can be accomplished through proper and intelligent handling of the Indian problem. Major Logan, himself the son of a great Indian fighter, has given a year of rtudy to the problem and has worked out a 'plan for the salvation of Lo, which is now being carried out on the Fort Belknap reservation. Major Logan believes the Indian must be given an employment at home on his own reservation, and has found him a reliable and willing worker when used in numbers with his own tribesmen. there are gome 1,400 Indians qn the 'Fort Belknap reservation, it was employment for all. The beet sugar industry alone would answer. Accordingly MlajorLogan mapped out a plan for the installation of the beet sugar industry on 'his reservation. With the support of the Indians and the interior department officials, a special act was passed by Congress in March, 1907, permitting the Indians of the Fort Belknap reservation to lease ,20,000 acres of their irrigated lands for sugar beet growing. Under a lease agreement drawn up by former Secretary of Iinter-io- r As Garfield, 10,000 acres were leased to David Bccles, the multimillionaire, president of the Amalgamated Sugar company, of Ogden, Utah, for a period of 10 years. Under the terms of this agreement, the Indians furnish the land and water and agree to dcTthe labori in growing and hand ling the beets. The sugar company ts under a bonding guarantee, a beet sugar factory of sufficient capacity to handleall beet3, grown on the reservation ; agrees to hire the Indian whenever practicable.paying a stated scale of wajjcsior seeding, cultivating, Jhinning, irrigating, and hauling the beets and $4.50 per ton for all "beets delivered at the factory. Under this arrangement,' it is the be cori-strue- 1 0. greatest danger from is of its resulting in pneumonia. This can be obviated by using Chamberlains Cough Remedy, as it not only cures influenza, but counteracts any tendency of- the disease towards pneumonia. " - WHEN MEN DID WORK FANCY During the old regime inFrance about which so much glamour remains to us, the very men who were living andjuaking-th- e his- -' tory 6f the empire of Louis, passed their leisure time in a jyay that seems to us of today utterly ridiculous. In all the fancy work ion which ladies, employed themselves, the men seem to have taken part. Poinsinet, in one of his comedies, represents a young Marquis entering a room where two fair damsels are embroidering. One is working a piece of dress trimming. the other a Marley flounce The beau examines the embroidery with the eye of a connoisseur points out here and there the spee ially good touches, and is too polite to notice any defeets.ne takes a little gold thbe out of the pocket of hi8 richly decorated waistcoat, and selects a dainty gold needle.

CACHE VALLEY BANKING CO. LOGAN, UTAH ' T- The site selctej for the sugar factory is just across the reservation adjacent to the Great JNorth-er- n line. One hundred and forty-tw- o acres of land have been acquired by the sugar company for the buildings, beet sheds; stock feeding yards, and demonstration farm'. The main building, 60x325 feet and six stories high, is located 200 feet from the Great Northern right of way, and will be in ful view of all passing trains.This factory will have a daily capacity of 600 tons and when completed, will represent an investment of oyer $1,000,000, Four . hundred and fifty men will be employed during the construction, and 250 during operation of the plant. In additipn to those grown on the reservation; beets will be shipped o the factory from all points in the Milk river valley betweenGlas gow and Havre. 'lhe establishment of this sugar beet industry will, in the opinion of experts, familiar with it, be the greatest factor in the development of northernMontana. It will increase, the value of farm lands tributary to the factory It will increase the population including the field 'and factory laborers, and their families, 3,000. To house these people, homes to the value of $1,000,000 will be required. To clothe, feed and amuse them, stores, hotels, opera houses and other buildings to the value of $1,000,000 will be needed. Settlers who are rapidly taking up the splendid 320 acre government homestead lands in the vicinity of the factory, will find, ready employment during the winter months while the plant is in opera tion. Beet pulp, one of the greatest stock fatteners, can be obtained by them at low' cost. The French have a saying, Wherever you see the smoke of a beet sugar factory, there yotrwill find The indications are prosperity. that this latest factory in north ern Montana will he no exception. Adjacent to the sugar factory, to the north of the GreatNorthem land, on a gently sloping bench, the townsite of Savory, Tbf Sugar City of Montana has been platted. 4 THE QUICKEST WAY to prosperity and the safest js to put your funds, whether of income, monthly earnings or weekly wage, in our care.
