NOTHING is truer than the saying that
e'one-half of the world does not know how
the other half lives" Little is known of
the disappountments, trials and privations
have to be undergone by men Of one trade,
profession or calling by those of another,
even when they mingle together daily. And
far less is known by the masses of the mode
Of life and the. exertiDns redEired to sustain
oneself in, the different sections of the coun-
try. Herein Montana there are, perhaps,
some who think the ways of life hard. Their
hong experience on the frontier, in mining
camps in newly settled districts where mon
ey was flush and business went with a rush.
has accustomed them to eXtravagant ways.
But to the man from the States who has all
his life been used to the most rigid economy
it appears quite different. In our $50, $40,
and $50 per month. which an old Montanian
regards as but a mere living, the pilgrim
sees a rapid road to wealth. 1t appears to
him a bonanza, while to the mountain man
it is coming down to old times, such as he
experienced in his boyhood in the far-off
States. He works from year to year, but as
he must be one of the hoys and keep up the
pace acquired during the golden era, he
finds it hard to keep even,. while the new
conner has a better time, than ever before i'm
bis life, and every year declares a dividend.
The facts are, our country is. growing older,
becoming more and more civilized, and con-
sequently profits mnsbdecrease. We-must
learn to leave off our extravagant habits.
Montona is still the best place of them, all.
Men become dissatisfied every year, pull up
stakes as the saying is, and bid adieu to the
country forever, only to return again within
. year.. not beng able to find any place as
good! From. the Atlantic to the Pacific
there is not a. laboring mans country to be
found which will equal it.

FROM the latest advices on the wood and
lumber seizure question, it appears that
wood and lumber seized by the Marshal can
be released upon the payment to the gov
ornmeIlt of $l.00 per cord; and; 5000 per
thousand for lumber, but the request of
Messrs. Hotter & Bro, of Helena, to be al
lowed to 60 on in the manufacture of lumber
ON the same terms is denied. We had hoped
that the government would see, the tallacy
of; its ill-advised .polioy, and, abandon 1T en-
tsrely, but it would appear from, the refusal,
by the Attorney General to make terms for
the cutting OF more timber that there is little
prospect of such a result.
We understand from Secretary Schurz's
dispatch that it is not the design to interfere
With miners and farmers, or those engaged
la the. lumber business except on Il large
scale. Now, does the government consider
the manufacture of a few thousand feet of
lomber on operation upon q large scale?
Certainly not. 1t cannctsbe expected that
every builder of a quartz mill or dwelling
can have. his W mill and saw .Msown lum-
Der, nor can it be expected that lumbermen
here can buy the lands and pay government
prices simply for the timber thereon. There
are nQ.large pineries in Montana like those
OH the upper Mississippi. And besides this,
ihelrmher manufactured here is not sent to
aforeign market, but is used for. home use,

country. The timber here grows in noun
tain gorges, and Oh rocky hill sides, upon
land lit for nothing, and there are but few
locations to be found where more than $50.

ialles. The owners of saw mills have to
move from one to three times in a season to
