above, make "A smooth, compact mound

the trees, just before the ground

be all that is necessary to insure pro-

Rabbits are not so liable to injure
trees where there are other small
plants, such as young grape vines or
nursery stock in the immediate vicin-

BEWARE OF The CIRCLE.

Under the e law the various tick
cts viii be grouped in seperate columns
on the official ballot. For instance,
the Populist ticket will constitute one
column, the Democratic ticket another.
the Republican ticket another. Atthe
head of each column a circle will be
printed. A cross mark in this circle
cast the ballot for every name in the
column. II q voter makes his voting
sign in the circle above some particu-
lar ticket. and then makes another
cross mark opposite the name of some
candidate on some other ticket, the
whole ballot, will, in all probabilities:
be thrown out. Beware how you mon
key with the circle and don't attempt
to vote until you thoroughly understand
the new system, which to saythe least
is very confusing, and will be the occa-
sion Of many mistakes this fall.

PATRIOTISM VS. PELF.

Eastern Montana will vote as a unit
for O. T. Goddard. of Yellowstone

gress will mean the protection OF ma

exactly the opposite. Which will you
be responsible fOr?-Glendive Indepen-
dent.
And a vote for Goddard means a vote
against Montana.
We decline to be convinced that the
men of eastern Montana are honestly
for the single standard. We are con-
strained to believe that the motive for
their madness lies in the fact that the
vision Of bulging pockets OF the iock-
masters in the event OF McKinley's sue
sess has turned their heads, and be-
cause of possible pelf they have for
saken patriotism. Candidate Goddard

this. and the man who uttered it made
a mistake. Coming down to particu-
lars on the matter of interest I have
this to say: that it is a well known fact
that all new countries require the help
of capital, accumulated in the older
states to develop their resources wheth-
er it be land. mines, mills or factories.
New countries have not the resources:
the men who push their way westward
beyond the frontier, in the nature of
things have not much money. Strong
arms. developed muscles. active bodies,
intelligent brains and untiring in
dustry generally makes up their capital
stock. Money is Necessary TO break up
the land or to open and develop a mine.
Montana is not free from this necessity.
Millions of dollars lie hidden in her
mountains but somebody must advance
the money to get these out: to build the
mills and smelters and to work the ore.
Hundreds of thousands OF dollars have
been coming every year from h east
to open and work the mines of Montana
but Just now the flow of capital has
ceased. why: Because mon will not
make investments OF money, when by
an act of congress the value of their
money is threatened to be reduced !
on a moments notice. Therefore so
long as this silver agitation is persisted
in Montana will get nc new capital for
her mines. For these reasons I insist
that the small amounts of money which
the owners of silver mines would make
out of free coinage do not weigh an
atom in the balance against the gen.
eral welfare of the people of our state.
1t is not to the interest of Montana to
have free coinage. I trust therefore
that my brother Republicans will con-
tinue to send in their names for en-
rollment in the Mckinley and Hobart
club OF Madison county.

A WORTHY YOUNG MAN.

Death of a Brother Of Eugene valen-

Eugene Valencour recently went to
his eastern home on a sad mission. He
was called to the bedside OF his brother,
Jerry Valencour. a young man who
stood high in the esteem OF the citi-
zen of Iron Mountain, Mich, as the
following excerpt from local papers OF
that place, will testify:

ry Valencour died at his home this aft

pressions of regret are heard on all
sides. and among his host of friends
poor Jerry" but inadequately express
ses the deep sorrow all who know him
feels. He was always cheerful, kind
and generous. a dutiful son and loving
brother, and his death is a cruel blow
to the aged father. five brothers and
two sisters who mourn his loss. He
had been a member of the fire depart
ment for five years, and a most faithful
and active fireman.
He will be missed, not only in his
home and by the worthy lady who ex'
pected soon to be his bride. but by his
late companions at the engine house
and the hosts Of friends he had won by
his genial and happy disposition. 1r
honor OF the departed tiremen the flag
over the engine house has been placed
at half mast.
That Jerry Valencour was respected
is evinced by the long procession tina
followed his remains to the grave. PEG
pie of every station in life, every ma
tiOnalitv and religion were there to pa,
their last respects to the departed, an(
many beautiful floral wreaths were
sent by those who could not go.
The family of the deceased have thu

Mr.. Ealencour arrived at his home
several hours after the death of hi

Two TroubIesome Cu.tomcr,.

There are two men who will give Mr.
Mckinley a good deal of trouble in all
probability. They are Senator Foraker
of Ohio and Mr.. Platt of New York. Mr.
Foraker wants to be recognized as the
great republican boss of Ohio In order
to attain his purpose it is necessary for
him to have the control of the federal
patronage of the state. He has visited
Mr.. Mckinley at Canton since the election
and has had talk with him in Cleveland
1t is understood that Mr.. Mckinley is not
disposed to accede to his demand. If he
does not he may have an enemy of his ad-
ministration from his own state In the
Senate. Mr.. Foraker Is in position to
do the incoming administration a great
deal of harm and he is the kind of man
to do it harm if his will is thwarted.
The whole country knows about Mr..
Plat. He is the great republican boss in
New York. He wants to continue to oc-
cupy that position. He desires that all
the federal patronage that belongs to New
York shall be distributed through him. At
least that is the gossip that finds its way
into the public prints. There are some
small republican bosses in New York who
do not follow Mr.. Plat. He wants to
show them of how little consequence they
are, and he will show them If Mr. McKin-
ley will grant all his demands. But will
the President-elect grant them? He will
make a great mistake if he puts himself
in the hands of such men as Mr.. Foraker
and Mr.. Platt. They are politicians who
think only of themselves. They viii use
Mr.. Mckinley if they can, but they will
not help him.
