Timber Cutting In Montana.

Deer Lodge New Northwest: Efforts
which certain persons have been per-
sistently making during recent months
to secure from the interior department
| at Washington a prohibition of timber
cutting upon the public lands in West
ern Montana, has caused serious ap-
prehension in the industrial centers of
this state. Unfortunately II is true that
the policy which has obtained in gov
eminent circles at Washington has
been too often inimical to the best in
terests of Montana. The cry which has
gone up from certain interested sources
that the public lands are being robbed
of timber by one or two large corpora
tions has been listened TO in Washing
ton. There is danger that evil eff
fects will follow this agitation. Several
of the large mining companies in this
state would be absolutely helpless
were an order to go out prohibiting
timber cutting.
The mines must have timber or they
cannot be worked. Vast forests. II is
true, are annually used in making the
depths of the mines of Butte safe for
the human hordes that daily find en-
ployment there. Twenty thousand
mouths are fed in one county by the
policy which permits timber to be cut
and used i'm the mines of Butte To
order a cessation of timber cutting ope-
rations would be to close the mines
and stop the wheels of industry with
in Montana's borders. Such a course
would be criminal in the extreme. 1t
is not without the bounds OF truth to
say that the parties raising the cry
against these alleged timber depreda-
tions are enemies of the best interests
of Montana and her people. In almost
every instance they are interested
parties, jealous of the prosperity OF RI
val commercial organizations.

The treasure state is but In the in
| fancy Of this most Important Industry
OF fruit raising. The climatic condi-
lions are new to many of the fruit rais-
ers. The experience of those already
growing fruit in Montana serves as an
INDEX, pointing toward the end they
seek TO attain. Many, at least are
more or less amateurs, but earnest in
their efforts to transform their broad
acres OF valuable lands into cultivated
fields and prosperous orchards. To this
end cooperation is vltaly essential and
an interchange OF experience becomes a
pTactical benefit a horticultural So
ciety in every state becomes a sure
bond Of brotherhood and a wall OF pro-
lection as well
Fruit growers Will not become jeal-
Gus OF each other. for the field Is the
grandest In the state and IL is so large
that there Is abundance of room for all
who are 50 inclined to work together
Tor mutual good Every fruit grower
IN the state, and every one Interested
in the rapid development of this indus
try, should at once join the Montana
state horticultural society. They will

grower in an isolated valley may be of
the very greatest value to others all
over the country Thus it can be read
ily seen that all should unite at once.
As by Industry people usually thrive
so IL is by association that they gain
experience.
"A successful state society here in
Montana Will lend aid to the establish
ment of many others i'm different parts
OF the great fruit growing region In
the Northwest. and this will undoubt-
eddy lend to the formation of other hor-
tcultural societies, 50 strong that their
voices will be heard elsewhere. They
should all work together with this one
great object in view. and by concen-
trating their efforts all will be sure to |
succeed. A II fruit growers In the state

the United States treasury, Cashier c.
s. Hefferlin. of the banking house of
this city. sent $4,000 in gold coin to
the sub-treasury at Chicago in ex-
change for currency. Instead of re-
ceiving the currency he was favored
with the following letter from the as
sistant treasurer:
Replying to your letter relative TO
deposit of $4,000 in gold coin with this
office. which has been received. you
are advised that of such coin S1.275 fell
below the least current weight and was
light total of 2S5 grains, which at four
cents grain, is $11.40. which your de-
post has been deducted. The proceeds
of such deposit. or $9.9Ss60, have been
deposited to your credit with the Fort
Dearborn National bank of Chicago. In
case you decide TO make further ship
ments in gold coin to this Office il is
respectfully urged that such shipments
be made via the United States express
company"
Mr.. Hefferlin was naturally indig-
nant upon receiving the above, and re-
piled as follows:
Yours in regard to the receipt of the
$4,000 in gold we sent you and notify
ing us of the discount of $11.40 is to
hand. In reply permit us to remark:
No, thank you we will not ship any
more, under any necessity the United
States treasury be in, IL that is the
amount of thanks we receive from the
government. In this connection we are
reminded of Jones of Binghamton-
he pays the freight only in this case
we do the paying. We have referred
your letter to Secretary Carlisle with
a request that he remit the $11. 40.
