Unsurveyed Montana Lands.

About two-thirds of Montana's do
main is unsurveyed. This represents
6O,OOO,OOO acres of land. \ great
deal OF this is mountaious land which
will probably never be surveyed.
Land is surveyed into townships
each having 23 ,OiO acres and to survey
all the land would require between
100 and 800 townships. Surveyor
General Eaton believes that the pres
ent system OF conducting government
surveys is altogether wrong and i'm his
report to the secretary of the interior
will make recommendations and pre-
sent his ideas OF how the work should
be carried on.
There is $4,000 appropriated for
the surveyor generals Office for the
survey of public lands i'm Montana
next year. OF this amount $4,000
is a special appropriation to be used
IN the Milk river valley, and General
Eaton will devote $1,000 of the recl,-
lar annual appropriation of $4,000
for this work only.-Independent.

The Name America. !"
f,hicago Tribunc.l

Amerigo Vespucci had no part in tn,
bestowal OF his name on the new world
It was the act of II body OF learned
men. Columbus always believed that
the country he had discovered WAS Il
part of Asia; but the discerning and
comprehensive mind OF Vespucc
thought differently; he believed it to b,
u separate continent. His written de
scription OF the country, it's people,
climate and productions convinced
the learned men Of Europe that his
views were correct.
The suggestion OF America as n
proper name for the new continent
came from Matthias Ringman, the poet,
and the professors of the College OF st.
Die in Lorraine, in the NOsges noun
tains. in a corner of France. They
put forth little work in 1907, enti-
tied 'Cosmoaraphin Introductis, A" in
which it was suggested that the south
ern continent should he called Amer
W. Ni'ti ~ HltIi, US tsuiolP dIlu ASH
had been named after women, in course
of time the name to he applied o both
continents. 1t would he impossibleto
add to the glory of Columbus, even if
the old world as well rs he new should
he renamed after him; it might add to
the glory OF Left To rechristen North
America after him; priority of discov-
cry certainly rests with him. Column
bus never visited it's mainland.
Since the country as a whole could
not be named after bot h of them. what
more appropriate name than America
could have been selected? Surely the
people OF the United States have no
reason to complain. Made up, as
they are. mostly of the Teut onic race
English. scandinavian and Germanic,
the dominant race OF the wOrld-they
should rejoice to know that they have
a national name that iitly expresses
their political condition. Ii is their
boast that each and every man is n
born sovereign, and this very fact the
name America signifies, for it was the
name of Gothic king in the fourth
century. Dixon, in his "Sir Nanus,"
says: "Emmery Armanaricks tGothic)
most exalted or universal ruler-the
forename of the Italian Nespucci. was
also corruption of the name of Il
king OF the Goths in the fourth cen
tury."
Another author, NJ. 4. Lowe. PA |
tronymlca Britannica, says: From
the personal name Emeric or Ameri- |
Gus. equivalent to the Italian Amerigo |
l.atinized Americus, whence the name
of the great western continent.
And lastly, Webster's Unabridged |
among English names, p. |
1879, says: emery, Emmery. Emory;
powerful, rich. Lat, Almericus; It,.
Amerigo; Fr., Emeri''
The first man OF the name in Eng
land was "a baron who fought under
William the Conqueror ut Hastings.

Judge Pierce of this county has rem

meat sold in Leavenworth must he in

limits before the animal is slaughtered,
unconstitutional. The ordinance was
passed about year ago, and had the
effect OF preventing out side packing

big victory for the packing houses over

MONTANA.
A Bright Star in the Blue Field of the Flag
fSan Francisco Post. |

San Francisco Post
Montana is now a state in the Union
and represented 10y a bright star in the
blue field of the flag. Montana is preg-
nant with possibilities exceled by
none OF the other new states. She
stands at the head OF the precious
metal producing states. Her output
last year exceeded S32 ,OOO, 900 as
against 26,OOO,OOO for Colorado.
ST., 900, 900 for California and Sl2,-
100000 for Nevada. Despite this
enormous output, the great new com
monwealth of the north has scarcely
been prospected. 1t is rich i'm coal and
baser metals are as plentiful as the
precious. 1t has immense agricultural
possibilities, the soil being fertile and
water abundant. Her mount aims and
valleys are covered with dense forests
and her natural waterpoweri is beyond
computation in value. In agricultural
and manufacturing indus ries Mon
tana rivals Pennsylvania in her pos
sibilities and has her gold, silver. cop
per and lead besides. The climate is
better than that OF the Keystone
state the year round, though some
cold waves are encounter OCCASION
ally IN the winter months. II is safe
to predict that Montana will grow in
population and develope in manufac-
turing more rapidly than any other OF
the four new states. She has great
natural advantages ana a pushing,
forceful people who have framed for
themselves and adopted most en-
lishtened constitution upon which
they will build wise. and progressive
laws. Hail to Montana.

The New Soldiers Home.

The commissioners of the state SOL
diers' home located at Fort Dodge were
in the city on last Friday and paid Wis
it to this new institution for the state.
They found everything in excellent
shape The five officers quarters which
the commissioners ordered renovated
and thoroughly repaired were carefully
inspected and found in good condition
aud ready for the reception of the old
soldiers who are soon to occupy them.
The commissioners will, of necessity.
have to use the greatest economy in
opening up and in the subsequent man
agement of the Home, as the apprOpria-
ton is limited. The expense thus
far incurred to the state ia re-
pairing the buildings is about $1,000.
Ample quarters for at least one hundred
inmates are now ready but owing to the
small amount of money appropriated by
the state less than fifty soldiers can be
admitted and maintained the first year.
The commissioners will have another
meeting soon, to be held at the state cap
ital, when a system Of rules and regula-
tons for the management Of the home
will be formulated and adopted and a
time named when inmates will be receiv-
ed, which will probably be on or about
