PART OF FERGUS COUNTY.

A certified copy OF the law attach
ing to Fergus county the strip OF Cho-
teau lying along the Missouri river,
was in the hands OF the commission
ers at their extra session this week.
The commissioners have no authority
i'm the matter. The strip became
attached to Fergus county on April
LIST. and the price tn be paid for it 10
fixed at $500, for which amount
the commissioners must draw war
rant at their regular meeting in June.
The northern boundary OF Fergus
county now extends to the Missouri
river. While some may think this
price little high for the character OF
the land secured, those well informed
regard it As a reasonable figure. This
county should expect to assume q
proportionate amount OF Choteau's
indebtedness in the transaction; be-
sides there is more assessable prop
srty in the strip than would first
appear. Fully fifteen hundred dollars
will be realized from taxes this year.
Choteau county has never made a
close assessment of the property in
this section. BY the purchase Fergus

The Helena journal is daily agitat-
ing the question OF immigration and
thinks Montana should make a move
to secure her share. Is not Montana
growing quite rapidly enough? As fast
as the nature OF her industries will
warrant? To flood this Territory
with poor immigrants who are tilted
only for day laborers or agricultural
pursuits would be worse than folly.
The result would he to reduce the
compensation OF those now employed
i'm the various industries of the Ter
ritory to that of the Western coast
or the East, as cheap labor would
supplant the skilled in many instances.
As for farming there is no market for
the products now raised, and it re-
quires pretty shrewd man to succeed.
Montana wants men of capital, means
and energy to engage in mining, stock
raising, and the development OF new
industries, which will bring a healthy
and gradual immigration, but she
wants but little OF the kind now
crossing over the range to the Pacific
coast.

1t has been generally accepted by
the public that the present county
officers retire next October, having
served at that time less than half OF
tho time they were elected for and for
which they gave bonds to faithfully
perform. This looks wrong on the
face of it, as it is conceded that no
elected officer can be removed by lsgis-
lation or otherwise unless he has
proved derelict. Together with this
comes the fact that the enabling act
says nothing regarding the matter and
1t is to be presumed that the new con-
stitution will not endeavOr to remove
those in office. Hence, those elected
to county and township offices last
TALL will, without doubt, remain until
they have served their full term.
