A short time since it was found that the
hitch was that the matter of remuneration
had not been agreed upon between the
company and the Indians.

We are in hearty sympathy with the
reputable physicians Of Montana for some
stringent law protecting the people
against the intrusions, raids, robberies
and murders of quacks. Even the profess
magnificent in the world. deserves protec-
tion against the intrusion Of pretenders,
whose careers of deceit and spoilation de-
grade the whole profession in the eyes of
an undiscriminating public. But the prin-
cipal call for legislative interference is in
the name and on behalf of the suffering
and ignorant portion of our people ready
to grasp at shadows and believe any lie
that holds out promise OF relief. So tar as
1t merely affects the incomes of the regu-
lar physicians, that is not OF itself SUI
whole business OF these quacks is down
right robbery. charging high fees for SER
vices and medicines that do more har m
than good. Enough of this dirty imposi-
tion has been practiced here in Helena TO
justify q riot. Our door.yards and steps
are strewn with disgusting hand bills that
no sef.respecting head of family would
suffer to reach the hands of his children.

provoke more severe measures OF legisla.

too stringent laws are not salutary, even
when the end aimed at is good one and

agreed upon that will protect the public

time BY the forelock and make some pre-
paration for their arrival here.
''lhe demand for country property
nenceforth," he continued, will create
an unprecedented stir in the rural dis
tr;cts. While many tourist parties have
already been oraanized for pleasure
larger number of those preparing to
move will come 10 stay. The latter, or
many Of them, at least, had agents ex-
aiming the couatry for them last sum-
mer. The tour of inspection In many
instances extended from Southern Cali
fornia to the British line. We will have
the heaviest immigration ever known. It
will not come In blind rush, but the
people have carefully pre'arranged their
plans and they know what they are COM
ing for and what to do when they get
here"
1t is gratifying to note also that many
of these home-seekers are coming with
ample means to buy land, build comforta-
BILE houses upon them and enter upon the
work of improvement and cultivation in
an enter prisinR way. That Is the class of
immigrants our country needs and to
which 1t will extend q cordial welcome.
