EDITOR OF THE LEADER
The town of Neihart is coming to the
front with great rapidity. Several
months ago the town was almost deserted
the cabin doors were laeked and the
owner had gone to new fields of labor
The future for this camp at that time
was not very promising, but on the an
noun cement that Hill and Proadwater
had decided to build the Great Falls &
Neihart railroad, tho old miners returned
to their cabins and thanked God that the
day of their deliverance was at hand
Work was resumed on the old claims and
the splendid assays made on their ores
attracted the attention of outsiders and
today the town of Neihart is booming
New buildings are springing up on every
hand and others are contemplated which
will be finished during the winter anG
early spring.
A new townsite has been laid ou
northwest Of the old townsite and the
incorporators are confident that the lott
will be sold and houses built ON them by
people who have come to stay and hell
in the development of the greatest min
ing camp on earth. The towl
is surrounded by rich mine
which are being rapid,
developed and by the time the railroad
is completed hundreds of thousands O
tons of ore will be ready for shipment te
Great Falls and other smelters.
All the mines now being worked ar
showing up splendidly and the owner
are confident that the coming spring an
summer will be one of great productio
and prosperity in this region.
The weather in this section is splendid
very little snow has fallen so far this ses
son.
Charles Clark of the Granite Mountai
Mining company, in company with
number of st. Louis capitalists was in Ne

mine, which he holds by bond. Th
mine is now working fifteen men an

No SIlOtSlln.

Perhaps some of the esteemed demo-
cratic newspapers will explain what the
Doodle press has accomplished during
the past two months by its threats OF
violence and its turbulent appeals to the
torch, the shotgun and the meat axe as
instrumentalities for the illegal organ
izaticn Of the democratic Legislature.
There is no evidence visible to the naked
eye that the incendiary organs have ac-
complshed a single result. When the
legislature met in Helena there was ne a
single drop of blood spilled, not even
wordy combat; and ever since that time
democrats and republicans in the capital,
while opposing each other by political
tactics, have been personally on the best
of terms. This state is not promising
field for mob law to establish itself ln.-

Cooperative insurance means promis-

1t is the discarded plan in regular com
panies OF "die to win" policy. If you
die before the company bursts your wife
MAY GET SOME MONEY. None of the poll
cles agree to pay fixed amount, but
only what the assessment will net. Saw
that you stay in an assessment company
for five years (the average length of life
of such associations) the company or as
sociation "goes up" you get nothing
4on don't pay your assessment on the
day-you get nothing; you drop out OF
the order OR company-you get nothing
The New York Life, the pioneer "Old

organized over 45 years. Assets to pro

the strongest of all. You have 80 days
grace on all premiums, so don't delay in
suring. If you don't care to continue, OF

pany will give you a paid up policy. The

The Drum Lumnon.

HELENA, Dec. 4.-Judge Hunt yester-
day decided in favor of the petitioners
in the case OF the petition of the St.Louis
Mining company for survey of the
Montana's company's limited mine, the
great Drum Lummon, at Marysville. The
attorneys for the Drum Lummon have
appealed the case to the supreme court
and it will be some time before it is de-
cided. This is the second time a survey
of the Drum Lummon mine has been or

West Shore: The papers of Montana
have been having q lively time this fall.
For two or three months they. shrieked
at each other in double-leaded editorials
and have scarcely yet got down to trot-
ting gate. Meanwhile the news field is
pretty industriously neglected. The po-
litical crucible of Montana is very hot
thing when in full blast and it is to be
hoped that much dross will have been
effectually burned from the body polite
when the atmosphere becomes clear
again.

Dartmouth Defeats Stevens and Gains the
Championship.
The foot ball game between yarmouth
college and Stevens institute for the
championship of the Eastern Intercolle-
giate Association resulted in another vic
tory for Dartmouth, which, coming as it
does upon the heels of Saturdays victory
over the Williams college eleven, leaves
Dartmouth's claim to the championship
undisputed.
The Dartmouth team have won every
game they played this year in the series
of their association. They had never de-
feated Stevens, however, and this fact
created intense interest in yesterdays
game, which took place upon the Stevens
field at st. Georges grounds in Hoboken.
The teams played as follows:

The ball was put in play by Dartmouth
about 1920 a. m. A touch down and
goal was made after four or five rushes
in the first two or three minutes. Score,
6 to 0 in favor of Dartmouth. After IF
teen or twenty minutes Dartmouth scored
another touch down and goal by good
running of the half-backs. Score, 12 to 0.
Just before time was called Dartmouth
secured third touch down. Score, 1S
to 0. 1t was agreed by the captains that
only twenty minutes should be allowed
for the second half. Stevens changed
their tactics and played an attack game
from the start. They succeeded in keep
ing the ball in Dartmouth's territory most
of the time. Wettlaufer tried for goal
from the field, but failed. He scored one
a few minutes later by pretty drop
kick. Score, IS to in favor of Dart
mouth. Time was then called.-New

Our old friend Johny Austin re-
lates another remarkable personal
experiences. While plowing a few
days ago he saw very large-snaks
and stopped to kill it. He struck at
it with his whip. The whip flow off
the handle, struck the snake and
unjointed it. One end of the snake
coupled on to the whip and ran off
toward some cattle popping it at
every jump. lie then looked for
the other end of the snake and found
that it had coupled on the whip saff
and dragged 1t into the creek. Since
that time his nose has gained its
natural color, We are glad to say.

The Georgia Alliance has con.
tracted with mills for 100000
yards of cotton bagging, to be. de.
livered the lst of August. The
bagging is to be not less than thirty
seven inches wide and to average
twelve ounces to the yard. The
manufacturers agree 20 take the cot
ton so covered at 10 cents different
per 100 pounds to cover the loss Of
weight in tight covering. The bag
ging will be made by the Lane

1t is being successfully demon
strated, says the Devall's Bluff,
Arkansas, Labor Journal, that more
cotton can be raised per acre and at
less expense by checking than by
drilling 1t. Farmers who use fer
tilizsrs report three bales per acre
last year by the checking system.
A good way to check cotton il to
take large sweep and plow across
the drills, leaving the plants the re.
quired distance apart In strong
bottom lands it is recommended the
rows be laid off five by four feet,
Mr.. Edmonds Of Surrounded Hill
tried checking, and reports largely
increased yield. We have long be-
lieved it is the better system, and
the crop can certainly BE- raised with
