L. w. st. Clair, who went to Cali
fornia some time since in the hope
that a change OF climate would bring
relief from dropsy, the disease from
which he was suffering, passed
through last night on his return
home. He was in charge Of George
Porter, who went with and attended
him during his stay below. Mr.. St.
Clair found no relief from his trip
and his case is considered hopeless,
hence he came home to await the
inevitable result.

SHOULD WE TAKE ACTION !

As spring draws near the question
has frequently occurred to many
"What can we do to advance the in
terests of Lewistown?" IL is wei
known that our citizens accomplished
much last year, in fact a great dea
more than was anticipated at the
outset. The question does not arise
from any lack of ambition or public
spirit, but relates more to the nature
of the enterprises to be asitated, ana
is a very pertinent interrogatory
Owing to the lack of railroad facilities
it is easy to suggest schemes that
would be wholly impracticable and
visionary. 1t is useless to undertake
an enterprise that would prove n
s'hoodoo'' in the end. 1t might be
well to organize a citizens association
for the consideration of projects that
would benefit the town and see what
encouragement could be given. Some
are OF the opinion that we should
secure grounds for a county fair while
land is cheap and make a race coursy
the coming eason This is desirable
and feasible. We believe it would also
be wise to advertise the town and the
whole county to some extent. The
mining industry, in particular, should
he given a lift. Circulars and descrip-
tive matter should be placed in the
hands of those seeking investment in
our state. Capital is the essential
thing now to develop our u
People will follow in its wake. An
idle, surplus population is not bene-
fetal to any country. 1t is better to
move slow than be over-run with the
cheap labor OF older states. In fact
we do not believe in a ''boom" of the
.swide open" order. 1t is better to
accomplish a little every year and
move cautiously than invite "A eondi-
ton that prevails further east. On
the whole we think there is but little
that the people OF Lewistown can do
to advance their interests this year,
but what there is to be done should
be commenced early. A kind provi-
denee can do more for us just now
than we can do for ourselves.

At a session of the woman'snational
council, held in Washington last week
Mary f. Seymour, editor OF the Bust
ness Woman's journal, read an able
paper on the occupation OF women.
She said: FIFTY years ago there were
only seven occupations accessible to
women; to-day they are engaged in
over three hundred. Every profession
has thrown open its doors to women.
In fact, they are o eligible to almost
any employment in which mel are en-
gagged, and in addition % these many
Others peculiar to their sex. By sheer
worthiness alone have women earned
every inch of space in the industrial
world which they occupy to-day
The aboveproves that woman's sphere
is what she makes it. No man has a
right to obstruct her progress or de-
clare what pursuits she must follow.
Woman must rise or fall by a practi-
cal demonstration of her fitness for
the vocations of this life.

There is little probability of any
action being taken toward the loca-
ton OF state institutions at this ses-
sion of the legislature, though the
matter has been under discussion. II
Fergus county cannot get the agricul-
tural college then the institution
should be located at Great Falls,
which has the greatest agricultural
region tributary OF any city i'll Mon
tana. The business men of Great
Falls are known for their public spirit
and enterprise, and under the fostering
care OF such men the college would lie
made a success. while in another To-
cality it might lapse into ''innocuous
desuetude" and become n burden to
the state. We believe with Senator
Gibson that such a college should not
he devoted to agriculture alone but
should embrace also the most useful
OF the mechanical arts.

The bill offered by Mr.. Harlan, fixing
the apportionment for representation
from the various counties, does Fergus
county a great injustice. The bill fixes
u representative for 2,4OO people,
based on the last census. This gives
Fergus but one member of the house
and a joint member with Cascade.
According to the last census Fergus
county has a population of 1874.
Now, without desiring to east any re-
Election upon the work of the census
enumerators for Fergus county there
is every evidence that the figures fall
far below ~thecorrect population. Over
400 voters were registered in this
county two years ago, and when the
census was taken there were FULLY | ZOO
voters. The multiple used in the older
states to estimate population is >, but
to he liberal suppose We use 3 for Mon
tans. This would give us a popula-
ton OF 300 and entitle us to two
representatives on Mr.. Harlan's basis.
The number OF school children in the
county also indicates a larger popula-
ton than we are credited with. There
is no question but what the rue pop
ulation OF this county would exceed
5000. Ii Fergus county is to be linn
tied to the representation called for in
Mr.. Harlan's bill until another census
is taken, then it is an imposition OF
the grossest character. If it is to be
based in the future on the vote cast,
hen why not adopt somesuch method
at present?

February was a hard month for
stock. The weather was cold and an
immense amount of snow has fallen.
Woolgrowers went into the winter with
a good supply OF hay, and most OF
them have been feeding their bands
from the stack. Range cattle have
found but little grass during the past
two weeks, but as the majority were
in good condition up to the LIST of Feb
ruary the loss will not be large. unless
March should also be a hard month.
The snow cannot leave the range too
soon now for the welfare OF cattle and
sheep. Mountain gorges and coulees
contain m deposits of snow,
which is a sure guarantee of a revival
OF the springs and creeks OF this region.
