tone, but he still is too bumptious when
he says that there will be in the repub-
lican convention "differences of opinion
as to the best course to pursue to secure
free and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver at a fixed ratio. but there Will
be no difference of opinion as to the de-
sirability OF bringing about that result"
There are such differences of opinion
in the republican party as to the policy of
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
the United States alone, advocated by
Mr.. Carter, that he and his friends will
find themselves in a minority of about
one TO three in the convention. These
unimportant but importuno senators
from silver lodes will make a noise be-
fore the convention out of all proportion
to their strength in it. They will be out
voted more completely than in 1892, and
with scanter courtesy.-Oregonian.
With true enterprise the Anaconda
Standard still leads tho newspapers of
the Northwest and is the best daily in the
inter mountain country. Seven columns,
eight pages is now the production OF this
splendid paper, with sixteen pages Sum
days. No better news service can be i'm
agined than the Greater Standard gives

One OF the stock arguments against
woman suffrage is that women cannot be
soldiers. No such statement will ever be
made in Fort Smith, Ark, where their
high school has a company of girl cadets
and also one of boys and in competitive
drill the girls bore away tho prize.-Great
Falls Leader.
The first number of "the Greater Stand

sisted of sixteen seven-coumn pages.
The regular daily issue is eight pages.
seven columns to the page. The general
news service has boen increased, and the
state service-always complete-has been
enlarged. The Standard now ranks with
the Salt Lake and Denver papers and is
easily the best newspaper in Montana,
Idaho, Washington or Wyomng.-Dillon
Tribune.
The advent of the Burlington route in
Montana is liable to be of advantage to
shippers in this state in the way of lower
rates. There is now a reduction of Al cents
per 100 in the wool rate to Boston by way
of water and it will be but few days
when oil rail rates will have TO be corre-
spondingly reduced or the steamship COM
panies called to time. The Burlington
will be of great advantage to the cattle
business, as southern cattle will be placed
on the ranges in the months of May and
June instead of arriving in July and Au-
gust after n long drive. Cattle will have
more time to get into condition to with
stand the rigors of the northern winters,
and consequently the percentage of loss
on cattle will be reduced Miles City

The Anaconda Standard has enlarged

We think Rev. j. l.. Parrish was, at the
time of his death, the Oldest of the early
pioneers of Oregon, though several remain
who were in Oregon before he came; nota-
bly, Rev. j. 5. Griffin and the widow Of
Rev. Elkanah Walker, both of Washing
ton county. Mr.. Parrish came to Oregon
by sea, entering the Columbia river in
May. 1910. He came as an auxiliary of
the Methodist missionary party. When
he came there were less than 100 adult
male citizens of the United States in the
Oregon country, which then included, be-
sides the present state of Oregon, the
whole of the present states of Washing
ton and Idaho, and large part of the
present state of Montana. Mr.. Parrish
was among the active men of Oregon's
early history, but lived quiet and retired
life during his last 25 years. He drove the
first spike at East Portland in 1869. at tho
beginning of railroad construction in Or
egon.-Oregonian.
The Anaconda Standard made its APP
pearance on Sunday last as a seven col
umn folio of 16 pages. 1t was brimful of
splendid reading matter and a credit to
the reputation which the Standard bears,
of being the best daily newspaper in the
state.-Livingston Post.
One of the stories that did good service
in the campaign against Anaconda for
