What is true of the lumber business
is true of other branches Of trade and
commerce. The effects of the present
administration is set forth in an adj
dress issued by the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermen's association showing that
the cut this year has been curtailed
more than 25 per cent. and that the
saw mills are idle while the importation
of Canadian lumber has doubled. The
directors declare that this state of
affairs is due to reduction Of the tariff
on lumber and the fear of free silver.
They advise members to impress these
facts on their employees and point out
that the maintenance of a protective
tariff and sound money is matter of
business, and not of politics.

I'm the Little Boulder.

Jefferson Valley Sentinel: Judge W.
T. Sweet is busily engaged in getting
signers to a petition requesting the
honorable board of county commits
sioners to lend their aid and very
few dollars of the county's money to-
ward the opening and maintaining of a
county road up the Little Boulder
distance of about 10 or IL miles. The
road is already in excellent condition
some two miles beyond the Bigfoot
mine. and Il is the wish of all who are
interested in the opening up of valua-
bic mines in jefferson county that II
be further extended so as TO tap one OF
the most promising sections in this
county.
The road should be opened up this
spring, as there are scores of men up
there who are working on mines that
are really embryo bonanzas; and as IS
usual in all new mining sections, the
prospectors are poor, but industrious,
and are well deserving the help neces-
sary in order that quick ana easy
mode of transportation may be had
that will enable the men 10 place upon
the market millions of pounds OF fine
gold and silver producing ores.
The road should run directly up the
banks of the Little Boulder. one Of the
prettieSt streams in Montana. The
road can be built very easily If taken
hold of at the right time. and that Is
now! 1t would also make a lovely
drive, as the country the road would
run through abounds I'm large belts OF
timber, beautiful valleys, lovely lakes
and dells, and there are many small
tracts OF land that could be taken up
for agricultural purposes. 1t is a won
derful country and seems like a shame
to have il undeveloped.
We are informed by old timers that
If this road was opened up, the hills
all through there would resOund with
hammers and drills. and the musical
voices of the teamsters would echo
and reecho till the very mountains
would only be too glad to give a cordial
welcome to all who are willing to help
probe the bowels Of the earth and
bring forth the shining metals which
would help enrich us and make our
/ taxes lighter.
We are under the impression that
the county fathers viii take hold of
this matter readily and in earnest. for
/ they certainly have the county's pros
/ perity at heart, and will be only 10
willing 10 lend a helping hand toward
i its advancement.
This project is well worthy an honest
/ and earnest consideration.
Next will come as a natural conse-
/ quence reduction works on the banks
/ OF the Boulder river, where no doubt
hundreds of active men will be engag-
/ ed which will be a valuable acquisi-
/ tion to the prosperity of our county.
| Arise We interested workers. for your
own interests are at stake: the welfare
of the people is in the very palms OF
your hands, and a strike now means

| short time.

His sornersault Not a succas.

Billings Gazette: L. A. Corey is con
siderably bunged up from the effects
of a fall received while trying 10 turn
a somersault. He was intending to
take in the masquerade ball given last
night by the ladies of Sanger Temple
and had made up as a clown. He was
rehearsing his part in the X. Of =. hall
Tuesday night and was going through
the antics of a circus clown. thinking
he was Jest as young as he use'ter
be-" and tried a somersault. He fell
and struck upon his head and was un-
conscious for a couple of hours He
was fixed up by a physician, who. af-
ter alleviating the pain Of various
sprains. advised him 10 take a hot
bath. Mr.. Corey did so. but while in
the bath tainted away and came near
drowning His head was just out Of
the water far enough for him TO
breathe through his nose. Realizing
his danger as he tainted. Mr.. Corey
had strength enough TO recover long
enough To call for assistance. He
tainted again and was in that condi-
ton when help came, IL was a narrow
escape and gives Mr.. Corey queer
feeling when he thinks about IL. II is
hardly necessary 10 add that he did
not attend the ball.

on Ben Harrison. for his political stat
ure is increasing every day. Wisest of
all candidates, he is giving himself
no concern. so far as any one can find
not, over the probable outcome of the
st. Louis convention, and yet he is
keeping himself before the public in
ways that attract a more kindly in
terest than a bald political candidate
can ever hope to do. His matrimonial
intentions are in this line, the public
taking all the initiative in It's eager
ness to become interested in so delicate
a matter: and then take the incident
of his appearance in the supreme court
the other day. Whether II was planned
for political effect or not, it had that
effect without the least semblance of
Encouragement and demonstrated
that among all the prominent people
who were in the supreme court that
day, Mr.. Harrison was the only one. in
whom the public took any interest.
He spoke for an hour; like enough a
dry legal dissertation, but everybody
remained and listened to him. and
when he was through the crowd filed
out and left the august tribunal In its
accustomed seclusion. 1t will pay any
one who has presidential aspirations
to keep tab on Uncle Ben.
