HELENA ACTS.

Citizens of Helena, regardless OF
party, met last week to voice their pro-
test against the wool and lead features
of the Wilson bill. Over two hundred
representative citizens were present,
including such prominent Democrats
as Sam Word, Judge Bach, w. E. Cox,
Z. w. Knight and John S. NJ. Neill.
w. +. Cox was made chairman of the
meeting and E. p. Sterling secretary.
A number of strong speeches were
made and resolutions read condemning
the bill. The following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, That we, the citizens OF
Helena, comprising men of all political
parties, favor maintaining the present
custom duties on wool, lead and barley.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to Montana's represent,
alive in congress any to each news,
paper in the state.
Mr.. E. w. Bach, Democrat, offered a
resolution which was adopted calling
on the Helena board of trade and other
like organizations throughout the state
to take similar action to that taken at
the citizens meeting. The chair was
authorised to appoint a committee to
get up and circulate petitions through.
out the state on the same lines as the
resolutions adopted. The committee
appointed consists of w. E. Cox, r. II.
Kleinschmidt, Cornelius Hedges and
VIM. Harrison.

A a on Wheat.

Editor ARGUS: A citizen of this
county has just returned from a two
months visit to North Dakota. He
says two train loads OF wheat a week
leave Willow City, a small village
about twenty miles north from Rugby
Junction on the Great Northern rail-
road, most of it going to Montana;
and still our farmers complain of a
want OF Il market for what they raise.
How is it, the Touring mill in Lewis
town is idle for want oil wheat, "a
bushel can't he had even for chicken
feed at a cen a pound? All, but, says
the farmer, we can't get good -four
from the Lewistown mill. The writer
is using as good flour from wheat
raised on Warm Spring creek by Fred
Colver and ground at the Lewistown
mill as he ever saw GOMEZ from Dakota.
What is to hinder ii we raise good
wheat? The machinery in the Lewis.
town mill is as good as Is made in the
United States, but no mill can make
the pest flour from foul wheat, some
seeds will escape the best cleaning ma.
chinery. The writer saw stuff called
wheat in the Lewistown mill that was
about one-half oats, barley, rye and
the seeds of about all the weeds in
Montana, and the miller was blamed
because he could not return a large
yield of the very best flour. The
trouble is with the wheat raiser.
Keep your land clean by summer fall
low or otherwise; SOW clean seed then
you will get clean wheat and good
flour that will find ready sale. We
are nearly all in favor of home prod.
ucts in this county. We want home
made flour and some home made but
ter and ham to eat with it, and want
our farmers to rustic and furnish
them and keep our money at home.
If we had n railroad to Lewistown it's
Touring mill, situated in the far famed
Judith basin, might be grinding Da-
kota wheat too. That would be a
pretty mess. wouldn't it? Grinding
wheat from Dakota where they raise
from ten to fourteen bushels to the
acre; here we raise from thirty to
forty. JAMES FERGUS.

LOCAL OFFICE DECISION AFFIRMED

The register and receiver of the land
Office have received the decision of the
honorable commissioner of thegeneral
land Office, affirming their decision in
the case of John p. Barnes VS.. Matilda
j. Garwood in which, it will beremem-
bered, Mr.. Barnes protested the proof
OF Mrs. Garwood upon her desert land
claim on the ground that the land is
coal land, and in which case the local
officers decided for the claimant, Mrs.
Garwood. This decision is particu-
larry pleasing to the register and re,
ceiver, because Mr.. Scott, who was at
torney for Mr.. Barnes, in his argu.
ment upon the appeal of the case to
the commissioner became very abusive
to the local officers, and in his vitu'
peration saw fit to go clear beyond
the record. We quote below from
Mr.. Scott's argument: ain the seven
years experience, both within
and without a U. s. land Office. pro.
testant's counsel has never witnessed
a decision in a contested case that
was so absolutely and unqualifiedly
contrary to the law and the evidence
as the case in question. A decision
that from beginning to end is wholly
and totally unsupported by either the
law or the facts, where it is not only
unsupported but where the law and
the evidence are both directly con-
trary and absolutely demanded a de-
cision adverse to the one rendered. y
\ y Can the testimony OF protestant
and his witnesses be totally disre-
garded, as it has been by the local
office? Will the government, by its
authorized agents, aid and abet parties
in perpetrating fraud and procuring
title to lands through fraud, misrep-
resentation and falsehood? \ \
We are aware that the department
usually attaches great weight to the
opinion of the local officers and that
not frequently are their findings of
fact disturbed; and while this is nat
urally very proper, still the power
thus indirectly given local officers is
oftentimes abused to such All extent
that litigants in good faith are de-
prived OF the rights which reason and
justice dictate should be theirs; and
we believe this case falls under the
above hypothesis. In the language OF
the illustrious G. Cleveland, Esq, 1t
is a condition and not a theory that
u.s. and about which we are
now talking"
With such an argument before him
it is safe to assert that the honorable
commissioner, before rendering his de-
cision in this case, carefully investi-
gated all of the testimony in the case
to ascertain what foundation, if any,
there might be for the wild and ex-
assertions and insinuations
Mr.. Barnes counsel in the case.
That he found no such foundation is
proven by the fact that he
completely ignored the aspersions,
and rendered. a decision confirming
the decision of the register and re-

A woolgrower suggests that it migl

A woolgrower suggests that it might
be a good scheme to cali a meeting of
the Judith Woolgrowers association for
the purpose of passing resolutions and
protesting against the placing of wool
on the free list. The writer thinks the
largest woolgrowing county in the state
ought not to he behind in this matter.
No doubt the difficulty of getting
growers together in midwinter has pre-
vented any action in this direction.
We will state, however, that Fergus
county is not asleep on this important
question. A petition clearly stating the
existing situation and showing the in
jury free wool would work to the indus
try in this state has been drafted and
circulated so far as possible in the linn
tied time. 1t may not reach every
woolgrower in the county, but enough
TO show almost "A unanimity of opinion
of fockmaster against free wool.

Gov. Richards has issued a procla.
nation relative to an exhibit of prod.
ucts of this state at the Midwinter Fair.
The people are called upon to raise
5000 by contribution for this purpose.
The money squandered on ar inferior
exhibit at the Worlds Fair does not
leave the people in a state OF mind
TO consider propositions of this kind.
No doubt the amount desired would
enable n superintendent and a few
assistants to spend a portion of the
winter pleasantly in San Francisco,
but the people do not feel like con-
tributing to such purposes just at pres
snt. 1t also seems like folly to con-
tribute money to advertise our indus
tries at one end of the continent while
at the other an effort is being made to
destroy them. Montana is not AN isso-
lated desert with her un-
known. All she asks just at present is
to be given a fair chance.

Even the Butte Miner which usually
takes its Democracy pretty straight
has no use for the Wilson bill. In a
recent article the Miner said:
Under the Wilson bill it is estimated
that there will be a deficit of $75,000,-
600. How then can it be called a tariff
for revenue? = n y The Miner holds
that it is unwise, unjust and unstates-
manlike to introduce a bill which pro-
yides a deficit of S75,O0 900 while the
wool and lead interests are placed upon
the free list and takes this opportunity
of declaring itself in favor of protection
to Montana interests as against any
patched-up deficiency bill which seeks
unusual means of raising national
funds. = = y The Wilson bill in its
present form is Objectionable to every
Democrat who stands squarely on the
Chicago platform.

The attack on Commissioners Ware
ham by the Mud Geyser is very easily
explained. The repulsive brute who
edits the paper tried to establish a
censorship over that gentleman and
direct his movements while in Lewis
town. AS if Mr.. Wareham was unable
to take care of himself, the editor OF
the Geyser laid down certain rules for
his conduct. He would dictate where
that gentleman should eat, sleep,
drink and put up his team. To this,
be it said with credit to Mr.. Ware
ham, he forcibly objected and the
tongue-lashing administered to the
dirty dog sent him away whining.
Think OF it, A gentleman who has
been in the west for a quarter oil a
century, and vino helped to blaze the
trails for the guidance OF tenderfeet,
having his liberties prescribed by such
a vagabond and outcast as II. j
Johns. In Mr.. Wareham he found
the wrong man to bulldoze.
