that earning his bread by the

find his delight in producing some
thing just for the sake of produc-

would resent the imposed task of
turning the grindstone for nothing
while it would consent to greater
effort if some good resulted from

Since the great desideratum is

is but a few years since the New York
papers cut the western news down to
the limit of unimportant departments,
but they now maintain extensive bu-
reaus in western cities that furnish
them wit more vital news than any

triumph for the western states was the
selection of Chicago for the fair, and,
in spite of the petty spite shown in
New York. that was carried through
to a magnificent success.

Great Falls Leader: While the pens
of hundreds Of American editors are
busily engaged in stimulating a war
spirit, II is also true that a few are
trying to keep the actual state of at
fairs, so far as can be ascertained, be-
fore their readers. IL war is inevitable,
we. as a people, will undoubtedly rise
to the emergency. but IL would be well
for us to know just what we would be
undertaking. The dangers for us In
war with England would not come
alone from the outside. We should
have serious troubles to contend with
in the heart of our land. Our large ci-
ties are tainted to greater or less de-
gree with socialism. These socialists do
not concede allegiance to any govern
ment. Their motto is, Destroy the
old order. inaugurate the new" They
would welcome war as a strong ally In
the attainment of their desires. The
torch is as destructive a weapon as the
bomb, and with 1t our great cities
would be constantly menaced. The So
cialists of Chicago are now compare
lively harmless. but 1t Is but a few
years since that city seemed likely TO
succumb to a reign of terror War
would lend strength to the socialist
cause, IL II can be justly admitted they
have cause.

FENCING GOVERNMENT LAND
Some Complaints Against the Montana
Cattle Company.

Some Complaints Against the Montana
Cattle Company.
Billings Gazette: According TO various
reports that have been coming in, the
Montana Cattle company. of which John
T. Murphy is president. has been fencing
in government land in addition to their
own, the company having acquired about
SO sections last summer in the neighbor-
hood of Big Coulee and through that sec
ton in the Lake BASIN While their fence
does not touch on government land yet ii
is built in such a manner that govern
ment land is enclosed. The land so en-
closed lies about 40 miles north of here.
With desire to ascertain the legal stat
us of the matter a Gazette representative
interviewed United District Attorney
Leslie, who was here yesterday in con-
nection with the case of the United
States VS.. Samuel Young, charged with
trespass on the Crow Indian reservation.
When the case was stated to him he
said:
"A case similar to the one you have
just mentioned has recently been decided
in Wyoming, where a cattle company
had fenced in 1900 acres of government
land. The decision was that even though
the fence was not on government land,
yet the land was enclosed just the same,
and the supreme court decided that the
fence must come down. No one has a
right to build fence that will enclose
government land, thus preventing a bona
fide settler from filing on 1t, and should
a fling be made on land so enclosed II
will hold good as against the other party.
IF 1t is true that the Montana Cattle
company, or whatever the name of the
company is, have been enclosing govern
ment land to which they have no title, i
shall take the necessary steps to enforce
the law against them. i have two cases
now of a similar nature. which / intend
taking up as soon as possible. 1 shall re-
turn here on the 9th and should be
pleased to receive all the Information rel
alive to the matter that is obtainable. 1
should like very much to take up just
such cases where parties are fencing in
or enclosing government land in viola
ton of law"
1t is understood that the county COM
missioners will also take the matter up
at their next meeting Monday. as they
have received a number of complaints
about the curtailment of the range, most
of the land lying enclosed within this
county.
Under the new codes all roads that
have been used, whether they were laid
out or not, became public highways on
the first of July, and 1t is alleged that the
Murphy outfit have fenced several such
roads in the tract spoken Of This will
give the county commissioners jurIsdic-
ton in the matter and they will likely de-
clare that such roads shall be thrown
open.

Montana Agriculture.

Rocky Mountain Husbandman: The
prominence of Montana agriculture
having been established without a
doubt. together with its independence
of a home market, we look to see large
investments the coming summer in
water bitches. There are hundreds of
inviting sites in the state for large
canals. and in such an investment
capital will find fair profit and be-
come a benefactor to mankind as well.
We note with no small degree of pleas
ure the tendency toward the cutting
of large canals of late years. This is
the result of the brighter outlook of
farming.

Mr.. Winters Nominated.

Butte Mining and Railway Review:
Some of the papers about the state
are nominating candidates for the
state ticket at a frightful rate. This
county has been very slow to suggest
names of its citizens. though some Of
the candidates have been cunning
enough to have their names presented
by outside papers. Silver Bow has
material sufficient to fill every state
office. The names of three or four
candidates for various state offices
have been suggested. What is the mat
tire with w. III. Winters for state aud
itor? Mr.. Winters is fully competent,
and then he, too. has good staying
qualities.

Lewistown Democrat: Some of the
judges of the state are starting a re-
vival. They are quickening the moral
perception of a few turymen here and
there, while holding court. Judge Du-
Bose delivered an 'opinion" as to the
conduct of the jury in a case where
they turned a Montana cannibal loose
after nearly eating up peace officer
down at Malta, and Judge Mediation,
over in Butte, last week convinced
seven conscience scared jurymen that
there was a God in Israeli by filming
them ten dollars apiece for disregard
ing his instructions in the Frank Steel
damage suit. We like that method of
conducting a revival. 1t makes an inn
preston upon the conscience of the
man, and Ii acts quick. 1t convinces
the fellow on the anxious seat that il
means something to be juryman
aside from drawing SO per day sitting
in the jury box and looking wise.

Unsatisfactory Garbage Service,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Last Tuesday (25th of June) a leaky cart
vas used in removing garbage from nv
premises and the houses adjoining. The
cart leaked very badly and emptied a large
quantity of the offensive contents on the
street and sidewalk. making 1t necessary to
close my front windows and endure the
suffocating heat.
Enough money is paid for this work to
have 1t done properly, but 1t seems that
taxpayers have no rights that garbage
contractors must respect / wrote a letter
of complaint TO the Commissioners. but
have received no reply.
Section 8, article Is, police regulations,
d. c., provides follows: at shall not
he lawful for any person or persons to
remove or transport garbage through any
street, avenue or alley in the cities of
Washington and Georgetown or their sub
urbs except in water-tight carts or wagons
with tight-fitting covers, thoroughly sani-
tary." Section Z of the same article pro-
videS fer fine of Eot less than s. nor more
than $40 for each offense. Why is the con-
ton? Now, Il seems that We are to have
virtually the same contractors for the next
five years. 1t seems also that these con-

tory on Boundary street between LIST and
