Elsewhere will be found a communi-
cation from Register Burg in relation
to an article which appeared recently
in the Belt Mountain Miner regarding
the publication Of notices of final
proof on land. OF all the papers pub
lished at points bordering on this land
district the Miner is the. only one to
complain about these notices, and if it
has any grievance it is doubtless owing
to its failure to comply with the rules
of the general land Office, as Mr.. Burg
states. We know that the register has
been very careful in this matter, fire.
quently deciding in favor of another
paper when the distance was only a
matter of five or six miles. However,
notices are published for the benefit of
settlers not the publishers Of papers,
consequently registers are given some
latitude of discretionary power, when
the interests of settlers are to be on
sidered. 1t certainly could not have
been the intent of the ruling that no
tees should go to a paper simply be-
cause it was published at a place nearest
to the land-as the crow hies-if the
paper is not "of general circulation in
the region where the land is located.
What would be the object in doing so?
Notice is given so hal settlers ac-
quainted with the lay of the land can
ascertain whether parties have COM
piled with the requirements of the
land laws. We have taken a little pains
to inform ourselves as to the circula-
ton of the Miner in the western part
of the Judith" and find that it has no
subscribers at Philbrook, six at Utica
and about fifteen at Stanford, while the
ARGUS has seventy-fve subscribers at
the three postoffices. AS the Miner,
which claims to be independent, was
subsidized" to support a portion of
the Democratic state ticket, insinua-
tions against the ARGUS are in very bad
taste.

The Montana Statue.

Omaha Bee: The statement of Miss
Lillian RHssell that she was offered the
privilege OF posing for the Montana
silver statue of justice to be exhibited
at the Worlds Fair, upon condition
that she would pay S5,OOOfor the ad-
vertisement which it would give her,
is supposed to mean that Miss Ada
Rehan, the gifted actress who has
posed for it, must have paid that sum.
This is denied by Miss Rehan'sfriends
but she herself declines to talk about
the matter. 1t is not easy to under
stand why Miss Russell refused, and
on the other hand it is difficult to be.
lieve that Miss Rehan accepted such
| terms; but it is at least certain that
those Montana people are thrifty.

Wesley Konns, of Selma, Kansas,
writing to the Montanian, gives the
following method OF Kidding the range
of wolves and coyotes:
Place n small solid ball of rags, about
. inches in diameter and well satura-
ted with bi-sulphide of carbon, in each
hole and cover or fill in the top with
earth, and you have the wolf dead and
buried, scalps and all, without further
expense. The remedy will work for
prairie dogs and rats. Ten pounds or
one gallon of bi-sulphide of carbon is
sufficient To put in twenty or twenty
five holes and would cost about 81. Ii
there is n half-doZen wolves in one
hole, ten cents and the time il takes TO
fill in the hole with earth would buy a
half dozen scalps already buried.
The above reads very well, but the
of the disadvantages encountered in
applying his remedy in extensive re-
gions. each hole" of the thousands
of wolves and coyotes in Montana,
it is not often that the immediate abid-
ing place of the wolf and coyote is
found, even by those who make it a
business of hunting them. These ami
mails are remarkably cunning and they
exercise a freedom in their wauderings
and ravages that challenges the inge-
nuity of stockmen and others to check.
A fortune awaits the man who will
conceive a plan that will rid the ranges
of these animals, but the Kansas man
will nave TO give more specific direc-
tions as to the method of loacting their
'holes' before his scheme will be con-
sidered practicable.

Cattlemen are looking for better
prices for beef next season. Three
reasons are given for this hopeful view:
"First, the long continued depression
in beef values has turned the farmers
of the west from beef production to
other pursuits and production is not
keeping pace with the increase of pop
ulation. The second reason is the large
falling of in production OF range beef
from the gulf to the northern ranges.
These reasons are sufficient to bring
about a decided reaction so soon as
they are clearly understood in the
market centers and it is believed that
another year will demonstrate the true
which will appeal 10 any N who has
noticed the papers There is.far more
inquiry for range cattle for feeders than
there has been since 1885, and many OF
the old time cattlemen VIII" sold Out in
$3.50, because they foresaw what was
coming, are buying up cattle and are
preparing to again handle big bunrhes.''
1t is 10 be hopeI the tide has really
turned IN favor of cattlemen, and that
Montana will have good fat beeves to
place on the market notwithstanding
the present d~iscouraging outlook in
some portions of the range country.
There is hardly any doubt but there
will be II large demand in the Chicago
local market for good, prime beef, ow-
ing to the worlds fair, and the demand
will open early in the season. With
an early spring and good feed on the
ranges Montana shipments can begin
soon enough to meet part Of the de-
mand.
