1t would be impossible to find like
number of people who are SO well served
| with newspapers as arc the 20),OJO Mon
| tanans. Take for instance the Anaconda
| Standard, recently enlarged and inn
proved. Few cities of $1,000 people have
so good n newspaper. while dozens of
cities with 1000 people cannot boast of
such q sheet. The greater Standard fills
| every requirement of a lively, newsy state
daily. 1t was good enough before the last
enlargement, but there is no beating the
Standard folks when it comes to printing
news and lots of it.--Columbia Falls Col

on the suffragist question is beyond COM
hension.-Stevensville Tribune.

third of n century, having resided for
