e ceptions made laws more with view to
3 suit themselves than to our interest, will
t very likely say as they have said before
e Legislation on the public land is uncon-
I stitutional-perhaps if we could obtain
6 admission, congress would see differently
However, our honorable representatives
, did not find it unconstitutional to legis-
late for subsidy to the railroad. Where
would We be now if we had mOrtgaged
our country to the railroad company?
. Our lawmakers who are familiar with
the various flaws left in laws on purpose
to catch the people in their good faith,
failed to instruct us as to the sharply con-
strncted flaw existiI & in the railroad du-
plicate. encouraging the people to go and
settle on their land on the same condition
and at the same price as government
land. While we still had in hand con-
tracted duplicate, showing $3.50 per acre,
signed by the railroad agents, We had to
pay $40 and more for land made valuable
by our own improvements and the deed
obtained being 80 full of reserves that il
can be considered no deed at all. Such
things are literally permitted in the view
ofspeculation, while but very little can
be obtained in favor of the mass.

The Waite Burns hard glove fight for |
$500 side, and the championship of
Montana, came off at the amphitheatre,
Butte. Over 1000 people were present. |
On the first round Waite knocked Burns
down. In the second round Burns struck
Waite foul blow, which the referee
allowed thus giving the fight to Waite.
A Red river bonanza farmer, who is in
the forefront of the wheat revolution,
says: ben Butler Is our man. Call
him demagogue if you please, but what
public man doesn't cater to the wishes of
the people for his own sake? What we
want is the demagogue who has the pluck
to give us what we want in the name of
justice. Butler does this, and always has.
We have had enough of these sancti-
monious, hlgh-minded robbers, who de-
pounce demagoguery, and stifle the peo-
ple's voice by political machines"
The Valley City, Dakota Times has in
formation that the body of Fred Nilsson
was found on Saturday afternoon five
miles from the place of his disappearance.
No trace of the hodies of the childaen.
While parties were out searching for the
Nilsson family, the body of Thorwald
Gunderson was found. Gunderson left
Clark City for his claim just before the
blizzard and the finding of his body was
the first known of his death.
The Nilsson family, consisting of the
father and two little girls had gone to
a hay stack half mile from the house for
fuel and became lost in the binding bliz-
zard of last week. The bundles of fuel
were found where they had been left
and the searching party looked long and
wistfully for the missing people with the
above result.
In spite ofthe gloomy representations
indulged in by many about the probable
loss in the cattle business through the
severe weather, We are informed by
stockmen, who are thoroughly posted,
that the outlook is by no means so bad
as many have predicted, Most of tho
cattle were in good condition when the
severe weather begun, and their abun-
dant fat enabled them to stand con- ,
tinued spell of cold weather. On most
of the ranges there is very little snow
left, and unless some unlocked for and
unprecedented cold weather should oc-
cur our cattle men generally will have no
reason to complain. Pilgrim cattle have
done very fairly, notwithstanding the :
trying test the cold snap subjected them
to. The manager of a company, whose
range is on the Musselshell, and who /
brought in cattle last fall among which
were large number of young ones from {
the east, informs us that the losses in &
this kind of stock will not exceed five {
per cent, and that he is we'll satisfied
with the way his tender-foot calves have c
