The people of Montana are rising in
earnest and beginning toprotest against
the manner in which the public domain
is squandered-frst, among cattle syn
dicates, and second, by division into
reservations for occupancy by Indians
who are already self-supporting. The
press of the Territory also devotes
great space to the subject, and is bring
ing a very strong pressure to bear to
have the public domain thrown open to
actual settlers. A Territory running
400 miles east and west and 100 miles
north and south, covered with nutri-
tious grass, we'll wutered and timbered,
an area larger than the State of In
diana, is held by 1900 Piegan Indians.
In view of such fragrant injustice us is
shown in these instances the feeling of
the people of Montana is that these
large reservations ought to be CIT
down to the standard of actual necessi-
ties.

SUMMARY OF NEWS OF THE WEEK.
American Flour.

"A correspondent of the Montreal Herald, in
discussing this tax. corrects some statements
81 Mr.. Rowland to the minister Of finance.
de claims that the statement that competi-
non came mostly from wheat grown in Da-
aota and Minnesota, which, by the new roller
process OF milling, yielded on an average
about G6 per cent of high-grade, or what
IS known as patent flour, is absurd. The
average OF h~igh-grade flour taken from
g goo oo wheat r. is not greater than 40
Americans sell their Jour in Canada
at slaughter rates. In contradiction of
This statement the quotations of the Mont
real markets show that American strong
bakers sells at 81 5O@5, and Canadian
:trong bakers ut $4(04. %, on the same day
The truth is, the American miller does not
siaughter this or any other grade of flour.
He sells strong bakers to his Canadian Gus
somers on precisely the same terms as he sells
to his American customers. In the West
Mlnona, for instance, the place mentionedb by
Mr.. Howland-tiour of all grades is sold to
customers at the same prices, no matter
where they come from. III it is going East
the custom is for the miller to pay the freight
TO Chicago, and II he pays the Canadian duty
he adds that also to his invoice. American
mlliers cannot afford to make their neigh
bors in Canada a present of part of the price
OF the flour they sell them. If they did so
they would soon have to close their mills,
