10 Hardin Tribune-Herald, Hardin, Montana Thursday, April 3. 1958 Attorneys Argue Motion to Dismiss In Federal Court (Continued from page 1) government to condemn tribal lands of the Crow tribe. Kronmiller quoted from the re cent decision of the Indian Claims commission, where the commission held that, "the United States ac cepted acknowledged, ratified and confirmed the Crow tribe’s aborigi nal Indian title and right of occu pancy, possession and use of the lands set apart for the Crow tribe” under the treaty. He added that Article 2 of the 1868 treaty provides that the terri tory described in the Crow treaty was set apart, “for absolute and un disturbed use and occupation of the Indians," and that to ignore the provisions of the treaty would be to abrogate the treaty. In addition to the provisions of the treaty itself, the tribe’s attor neys said, the Congress had separ ate acts spoken three times, by providing that no additional irri gation system shall be constructed by the government for the irriga tion of Indian lands on the Crow reservation until the consent of the Tribal Council thereto has been duly obtained. Kronmiller quoted from Section 8 of the 1920 Allotment act and said that the provisions against further construction had been strengthened by a 1926 amendment to the 1920 act because the 1926 act provides the additional words "unless and until the consent of the Crow tribe is duly obtained.” The tribe’s attorneys further re ferred to an act of 1946 which fur ther provided against construction of irrigation projects without the tonaent of the Crow tribe. Kronmiller told the court that Section 10 of the allotmeht act spe cifically provides that all unallotted lands chiefly valuable for develop ment of water power are reserved from allotment or other disposition for the benefit of the Crow tribe. Wheeler pointed out that the gov ernment was inconsistent in their briefs since when they represent In dians they express the view of the Indians, but when they want to take the Indian lands they take the op posite contention. Cyr, In opposing dismissal of the action, declared case citations by defense attorneys purporting to deny the Indian lands "involving third parties and are not applicable to the issue before this court.” The government, Cyr said, has a right to use of waters flowing through Indian reservations- Government attorneys also cited a “Twin Cities power case” where the court held owners of property along navigable streams had no right to compensation for damsite value against the U. S. “Reason dictates," Cyr said, "that the question of navigability is one that should, be tried by a court and not a commission.” A commission as a fact-finding body, he added.'would be required to submit its findings to a court for ultimate decision. Galles cited the legal concept of "dominant servitude" In his argu ments dealing with determination of compensation. “The value of a power site,” Gal les said, "rests in the flow of a stream over the site which in this ■■ f z. .V'-- * * 1 LAST YEAR ABOUT 500 NEW MEDICINES WERE INTRODUCED As soon as each one was clinically proved we stocked it in our prescription department.

In such a situation, he explained, the stream is in a state of "servi tude" over which the government holds "dominion”, Galles added, in connection with determination of compensation, that the value of the land to the taker was not to be considered, according to legal precedents. "Compensation must be awarded on a ‘loss to the owner’ basis,” Gal les said. Referral of the question to a commission, said Galles, would be “time consuming and would allow Introduction of much Irrelevant ma terial.” “We are interested in expediting the conclusion of this case,” Galles said, “so that the Indians can get their money and the project can be started.” Traffic Violation Fines Are Paid In Justice Court Truck drivers paid a total of $250 In fines for exceeding the weight during the past week.

Chamber Directors Discuss Yellowtail (Continued from page 1) needed employment for the Crows as well as the community as a whole. Rising, representative of the State Water Conservation board, covered the progress of Yellowtail legislation and added that the Mon tana congressional delegation all are attempting to do what is best for the Crow tribe in connection with the project. Rising said it is highly improbable that legislation authorizing more than s2'4 million could be passed by Congress and meet with the admini stration’s approval. If the Crow tribe is given the right to go to the Court of Claims with authorization of that payment, it would give the govern ment immediate access and an ap propriation to begin work might be obtained this year. He said condemnation procedures would tie up the project for “at least three years.” SCHOOL TO BE CLOSED All Hardin schools will be closed on Good Friday, April 4, and Easter Monday, April 6, according to H.

Cain, assistant county supervisor, has an nounced. Now the owner of a farm in agri cultural production on which the operator plans to produce at least S4OO worth of farm products for sale or home use may qualify for the four per cent long-term loan, if he meets other eligibility requirements. Formerly, an eligible applicant had to own a farm that produced a larger part of the operator’s annual cash income. Farm housing loan funds may be used to build, improve or repair farm houses or other farm buildings and to provide water for farmstead and household use. Cain said that in addition to fi nancing major construction, loans can help meet other farm needs for farm Improvement such as adding bathrooms, utility rooms, better kit chens, and other Improvements to houses and farm service buildings. Loans cannot be made to buy land or to refinance debts. Tenants and farm laborers are not eligible, but an owner may borrow to construct buildings for them. The interest rate is four per cent. ¥2 or Whole — 16 to 18 lbs. HAMSib. 59 c Lean Trimmed (End Cut) PORK LOIN EQC ROAST Lb.

Loans are secured by a mortgage on the farm, subject to any existing prior . liens, and by such additional real estate security as may be necessary to adequately secure the loan. The local county FHA committee reviews all applications and certi fies as to an applicant’s eligibility, and also certifies as to the normal value of the farm after the improve ments are made.
