THE sLOPING BENCH LANDS,

In the Milk River valley, like that of
the Columbia, arc sloping benches on the
mountain sides, which will yield heav4
ier return Of grain than the flat prairies.
These will be the healthiest localities
ana the best farms. Ihe whole party re-
turned to this city favorably impressed
with the Milk river country aud fully be-
lieving it will ultimately be the great ag-
ricultural portion of Montana. No intel
ligent person can ever bo made to believe
that Wilkeson over saw the country he
essayed to describe. 1t certainly has the
best grass lands in Montana and its grain
growing possibilities, Judging by what
was seen on Wednesday, are equal to any
portion of California or Oregon, in addi-
tion to being u good deal nearer to mark
ct. The public faith in the agricultural
wealth of Choteau county may well he
unbounded; and as rapid an increase of
taxable property within her borders may
be looked for as in any part Of the lusty
young state of Montana.

A STOCKHOLDERS SCHEME.
Nobody can see the sNilk River valley
in this season of drought and depression
without being satisfied that it is lend Of
plenty in any ordinary year; and that the
article by Wilkeson in the Now York
Times of July 18th was written in the in
terest of stock-jobber's deal. The hope
was to break the stock Of the Manitoba
road, so as to buy it ut reduced figures.
In a word, it is a most excelleht freight
road, and Ibis fact has not escaped the
eyes of some shrewd operator who had
resolved to break that stock so he could
buy it cheaply. After the train had head
cd back toward Helena, the writer had
some conversation with Col. Broadwater
upon the traffic necessarily tributary to
the road and the possibilities of grain
export to Lake Superior.
ADVANTAGES OF AN EASY GRADE.
| "Col. Broadwater, how low can you af-
ford to carry wheat from here to St
Paul?" asked a Journal representative.
"From Milk River valley you meant
Five dollars ton."
"And the distance is 932 miles. How
can you afford to carry it so cheaply?''
"By carrying it back in empty freighr
cars. 1t pays at that rate very well.'

''that the Oregon Railway and Naviga

A Pretty Railroad Conductor.

ga few days ago / was going out
from Denver, Col, on the Denver and
Rio Grande Railroad" said veteran
conductor to an appeal reporter yes
terday, when was thrown in COM
pany with a lady that opened my eyes,
conductor as was. She was petite
brunette who had the vim and manner
of what / would call manly woman.
Not impulsive and given to erratic
spells, but purely woman given by
nature to manhood's ways. This lady
was conductor on a branch train tap
ping our line, and she was the first
female L ever knew acting In that
capacity But YOU must not think that
she was at all slow in meeting all de-
mands, for while she had her range
and could go just so far, to that extent
she did her work superbly. She col
lected fares and punched tickets like a
man, but when it came to putting some
fellow off because of his failure TO
conn ly with the requirements of the
railroad company it was her custom to
call on n man to do the work. The
brakeman on the train was usually
present to obey her commands, but /
have known cases where passengers
were called on to put other passengers
off the train. "-MemphiS appeal.

An Emblem OF Power.

lhe glove has been the emblem OF
power and of purity, of defiance and
subsection. Lands and public prop
erty were once conveyed 10y the de-
livery Of glove; the authority of kings
over provinces was attested by pre-
senting glove; kings invested barons
with domination by bestowing on the
favorite one of the kingly gloves, and
many ecclesiastical and legal cere-
monies could only be performed with
white gloves, the emblems of purity
The antiquity of gloves is very great /;
they doubtless antedate history. for
the earliest literature alludes to them,
and they have been known and worn
from the earliest ages of which we
have any knowledge. Homer, in the
Odyssey" describes Laertes, the
farmerking, the father of Ulysses, in
his retirement: while gloves secured
his hands TO shield them from the
thorns. +" Xenophon jeers at the Per-
slams for wearing gloves as a protec-
ton from the cold. In their earlier
days the Greeks and the Romans
scorned such effeminacy, but at a later
day, in the time of Pliny, the uncle of
lnaJ HNely historian Is described as
travelling with an amanuensis "who
wore gloves upon his hands in winter
lest the severity of the weather should
make him lose any time in" writing
From time immemorial the glove has
had legal significance in Oriental
countries in the transfer of property,
just as the Goods penny" was former
ly used to bind bargain in the West
Later, the glove, as a pledge or en-
blem of conveyance, came into use
among the Romans, whose ancient law
held property to have passed with it's
literal transfer, or of part of it, into
the hand of the purchaser, and the
glove, doubtless as n matter of con-
venience, took the place of and sym
bolized this ancient transfer.

Paul Moutonnier is the proud owner
of very fine dog and he loves that dog
as he loves his life. Some time ago
Paul made trip to the Pacific coast,
and he cast about for some good friends
who would care for his canine pet while
he was away. He at last found good
man anti he went away happy in the
thought that his dog would be well
taken care of. Some weeks later he
returned to Chicago, and his first move
was to call for his dog.
"For heavens sake take him away
cried the friend as Paul appeared,
"and don't leave him with me again.
Why didn't you tell me that the dog
couldn't understand English? / can't
speak French and he didn't heed a
word said to him."
Paul had always commanded the dog
in French, and, as his friend said, he
did not understand or heed English
commands. He had been in the pound
three times and had cost his tempo
rary keeper something like $40 during
his owners absence. He advised Paul
to send his canine to night school,

Her Choice.

At the Isles Of Shoals they tell the
tale that lecturer went thither to
lecture to the assembled guests upon
the character and characteristics of the
japanese, and in the course of his re-
marks he dwelt upon the two facts. that
the self-contained people do not use
explosives, profanity being unknown
in their land, and that equally they
are ignorant of the goodly fashion of
kissing These statements had their
due effect upon the audience, it being
observed that the masculine portion of
the hearers were the more impressed
by the former statement, and the fem
mime portion by the latter.
As the audience was dispensing, with
all the chatter of comment, gossip and
banter which belongs to such n gath
ering. one young woman was overheard
confiding TO another her sentiments in
a phase which was at once human, ex-
pressive, and picturesque.

Somebody must save money, and the
people who save it will be the capital
lists, and they will control the organi-
zation of industry and receive the
larger share of the profits. If the
workingmen will save their money,
they may be not only sharers of profits
but owners of stock and receivers of
dividends, says Washington GLADDEN..
And the workmen can save their
money if they will. II is the only way
they can permanently and surely i'm
prove their condition. Legislative re-
forms, improved industrial methods
may make the way easier for them,
but there is no road to comfort and in
dependence, after all, but the plain old
path of steady work and sober savings.
If the working people of this country
would save for the next five years the
money that they spend on beer and
tobacco and baseball, they could con-
troll large share of the capital en-
ployed in the industries by which they
get living, and they could turn the
dividends of this capital from the
pockets of the money-lender into their
own. There is no other way of check
ing the congestion of wealth, and of
promoting its diffusion, so expeditions,
so certain, and so beneficent as this. /
wish the working people would try it.
