Defense of EMPLOYERS.

A movement is on foot in Chicago
and letters are being sent out quietly
to arrange for national meeting of
business men and manufacturers, to
be held this month, to take action to-
wards devlsing some means of defenes
against the power of organized labor.
There IS nothing definite yet arrang-
ed about the porposed meeting, but
the opinion Of business men is being
asked in confidential circulars which
speak Of Outrageous demands" now
being made by workingmen, and sug-
gests action to meet these demands
and put employers in a position to
withstand them.

Beef VS.. Hog.

An alleged packer of forty years
experience, says: "The quantity of
grain that will make pound of beef.
will make more than a pound of
pork, and a pound of pork is general
ly worth more than a pound of beef
The statement is not correct in either
particular. The OK does not perfect
~ digest ear corn, as usually fed
Hogs do the cleaning, and save all.
Again, the price of fully fat beef on
the hoof, and hogs on foot, is general
ly IN favor of beef. And as the hog
turns out more meat per live weight
than beef, the price of pork is re-
duced still further. Chicago Tribune

AMurder That Did Not ssOut."

The skeleton Of man was found
in the rocks on the reservation, near
Boise, Idaho, by men hauling rock
therefrom. The verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was that the bones were
those of white man, that he was
thirty years old, five feet, seven or
eight inches high, and that he had
been dead ten or twelve years, and
that he came to his death by causes
unknown to the jury. In the hole
where the bones were taken out were
found piece of flannel, a piece of cot
ton cloth, thought to be part of part
of pair of overhauls, and two rifle
or musket balls. No clue to his iden
tity or how he came to his death could
be determined.

Knights of Labor in ST. Paul

st. Paul Globe: The work Of the
knights of Labor is comparatively
quiet and their influence essentially
secret. A leading st. Paul halter
tells me that he cannot sell Stetson
hat because Of the boycott upon them.
He displayed, also, a letter from Stet-
son, in which the latter complained
of the boycott, and attributed direct
loss of 100000 in trade to it. This
same halter says that if the labor men
knew that he sold Stetson hat from
his store he would come under the
same boycott.

Our Wards

Outside of Alaska, we have 26OOO(
Indians, and every buck. squaw and
papoo2e, be he, she or it, full-blood O,
half-breed, possesses in the average
800 acres; and yet the government
feeds the last one of them-a few in
the Indian territory except-at large
expense. Last year it cost s6,5OO. 600
to feed and blanket the noble red
man. Three years ago we expended
upon these people nearly double that
sum. But as it is impossible to say
how much clung to the fingers Of the
Indian agents, a per capita calcula-
ton would only be approximate
Since 1915 we have expended 1926.
100000 in taking care of the Indians
and probably as much more in various
efforts to subdue or exterminate the
pesky creatures.

HANNAH

Have you heard of Hannah, she who
mastered the piano, and was thoroughly
conversant with the thinsness of the
| here?
She could dance the polka pazes and.
discourse in learned phrases in most
peculiar language that was starting to
my ear;
And she had great devotion to the fam
ed aesthetic notion, wearing lilies on;
her garments, and she moved with
laDguid grace,
And when she and I were walking, WHY
the way she kept on talking, made nae.
feel so densely common that blush
came to my face;
She had gained her wondrous knowledge.
at famous eastern college, and she
was head and shoulders up above tho
common herd; u
And the way we..talked of weather when
plain people came together seemed to
her, at least she said so, most migrate
ful and absurd
In the ball room she was queenly and
she moved along serenely, with q
naughty way Of snubbing people who
were not SO learned.
Though | tried her heart to soften yet
she snubbed me hard and often and
raging thirst for vengeance in. my.
manly bosom burned.
Years passed on-at last I found her
with : dozen people round her, but
their looks were not admiring and no
praises from them fell,
And l was interested, Einformation I
requested, when they told me she was
waiter in second-class hotel.
Thus was my revenge complete.-St.

How To Kill Sage Brush.

There Is very simple way to check
the growth OF sage brush, aud also OF
cactus, On the plains in this region OF
country, which is not, perhaps, known
to all, but which experienced ranch
men understand all about. # wnter
can be let in oyer the land 60 that tha
turf can become saturated and remain
so for awhile it will kill the sage brush
SO that not even the roots will poesees
any vitality again. and there will ba
no more trouble from ii.e growth of
cage brush. Cheyenne Leader.

AS a Horse Country.

The man who has ranch, range
and few good mares in this country
is IN a fair way to be wealthy. It is
now realized throughout the entire
country that the high grazing regions
OF the west are capable of producing
better bone and muscle than any other
country, and all Montana horsemen
have to do to create strong standing
demand for their horses is to be zeal
GUS in the propagation of good stock.
We are so far from markets capable
of relieving US Of large numbers of
horses that it will not pay-not SO well
at least to raise anything but valu-
able animals, as it costs about as much
to market a $40 pony as it does
$1,000 thoroughbred.
It seems that there ought even now
to be a large profit in transferring
horses from this country to places
where the prices are much higher.
<
It is fact that a horse that could
be bought for $40 to $50 here is worth
S75 to 500 in Texas and other coun-
tries. and there is prospect that ev-
cry man who has a good horse for
sale can dispose of him easily and at
handsome figures to drivers and ship
pers.
There IS every prospect, also, that
SO far as the horse trade is concerned,
the movement of stock from the south |
to the north will be reversed. and that |
large numbers of Montana horses will |
find their way to southern markets.
just as Montana grass and air ma
lures beeves better and makes them |
more valuable than those marketed |
from other ranges, just as these same
feed and climatic conditions impart
better muscles. slneWs and bones into
horses and make this the finest horse
country on earth.

Monfana's Exhinit

A correspondent writing from New
Orleans to ti2o Salt Salt Lake Tribune, has
the following to say Of our exhibit at
the exposition:
The Montana exhibit lacks to some
extent the feature Of variety possess
ed by other displays, but to the intel
llgent observer, to the man after facts
and figures, it represents the grandest
mining country in the world The
Anaconda, Parrot, Moulton, Hleca,
GTanite-Mountain and Drum Lum-
mon are mines which are not duplicat-
ed elsewhere. They and the other
great dividend payers of Montana are
represented here by the largest and
richest specimens in the Government
guiding, and are feast to the eye Of
capital. A score Of large and hand
somely framed Photographic views of
mills and smelters in Butte and vici-
nifty, confirm and supplement the
statements of the Commissioner IN
charge in reference to the vast enter
prlses of the Territory, its great re-
and business activity. For
persons not interested in mining,
abundant and accurate information is
supplied orally concerning the agri-
cultural results and possibilities of
Montana, its coal and timber, It's pub
lie institutions and the million and a |
half OF cattle that roam and fatten on
It's broad area.

Tenderfeet as COWBOYS.

| It were well for the foreman of a
large outfit at present if he should
not be known On his arrival in town
| he is besieged on all sides by men and
boys of various ages desirous of OBJ
tanning work at the earliest date. So
popular does this method of gaining
living seem to be, that each year
the ranks of the cow boys are rein
forced by number Of recruits from
the east, whose one idea and ambit-
ton is to get position an cattle,
horse Or sheep ranch. Anything that
will give them chance of experience
ing the wild, free life Of the prairie.
The boy from the east usually has
somewhat difficult time in obtaining
employment, unless he chances to
have friends who are well acquainted
with the various ranches, and who
are themselves old hands at the busi-
ness.
In the first case his general ap-
pearance will in ninety nine cases out
Of hundred proclaim the fact that
he is tenderfoot, as such he is in all
cases not a desirable acquisition, men
of experience being what are particu-
larly needed. The fact that living is
so cheap in the far east aud also the
facility afforded for getting there in
the fall of the year when beef ship
ping is going on, has enabled num-
Der Of boys who intend to lay off for
the winter, to spend part of their
time in the east On their arrival
there they are naturally regarded as
curiosities, and they are soon the CEN
ter of attraction of an admiring crowd
anxious to hear the actual truth re-
garding the free life in the west and
the increased opportunities for max
ing money. In such a situation as
this can the object of attraction be
blamed for exaggeration? Somewhat
beWildered, perhaps, by the inT,cacies
of large city, and prompted by the
very apparent ignorance of his listen
ers regarding anything western, he of
course becomes anxious to crafty their
desire, and does SO, as a rule, to the
fullest extent. In this way many

Of the dime novel, is deluded into

Wild and free to a certain extent, yet
here is nothing to compensate for

nan is not expected to do, and after
he novelty has worn off the ambition

THE MONTANA CENTRAL.
Has Montana the Right to a Com
peting Line of Railroad 70 the
East?

| The attitude assumed by the Nor
thern Pacific railroad company, to-
ward the Montana Central enterprise
is calling forth the indignation of the
people, and if that corporation is tc
be moved by public sentiment, they
will let go, and forthwith call off
those who are acting in the capacity
of mouth pieces for them. Helena
IN number of letters to the Herald,
of which the following is one, voices,
we believe, the sentiment of the peo-
pie Of Northern Montana, the same
as it would anyone, either directly or
indirectly interested in its develop
ment. Following is the letter:
The evidence continues to accumu-
late, that the powerful ally off the
Northern Pacific, acting with that
powerful corporation, proposes, if
possible, to choke off the Montana
Central, and if necessary to parallel
every line it proposes to construct,
and make fight for the right of way
through the Prickly Pear Canyon.
This magnanimous (2) conduct toward
an Independent organization which
propose to do all that lies in its power
to build up this section of the country,
and Helena in particular, seems to
have secured official sanction and re-
congnition. Interviews published in
the st. Paul papers indicate that a
fight is to be made upon hIr. Hill, of
the Manitoba, to prevent the consum-
nation Of his project to give US
competing line of railroad to the
East. Upon what Easis is the pro-
posed fight to be made? But one
has as yet been given, viz:
That he is invading territory claimed
by the Northern Pacific as exclusive
y its own. In one of the interviews
:eferred to the powerful ally" admits
hat the Northern Pacific cannot
conduct these operations under
is present charter, and alleges that
t proposes to accomplish its ultimate
,hjeet by the organization Of other
companies with its powerful ally" at
he head, to operate in the interest of
he n. P. When and where has the
Montana Central invaded the terri
ory Of the Northern Pacific? Is this
territory, containing more than one
hundred and forty-six thousand
quare miles, to be given over entire
y to one corporation? Away with t
uch nonsense. Even official () (
Interference will fail to subject us to {
he tyranny involved in the PROPOSE t
on that the Montana Central, or any |
ther independent company propos-
lg to construct railroads, are to be
ought because they are invading the
'rrltory of the Northern Pacific. If d
ay such territory exists let us have !
proclamation issued, that it be {
asignated by boundary fences, to
le erection of which all good people
lould be invited. a
We have heard enough of the as l
'mption that the territory of the .
orthern Pacific is being invaded. u
he people are not prepared to re- q
i've any such doctrine and Will have s.
,ne of it. D
