Dear Strive entered into the trad

The extent of the undeveloped re-
sources of the country are but just
beginning to be understood. The
growth of the coffee industry has en-
Dhasized this and given rise to de-
mand for land in small parcels, upon
many of which homes are being erect
ed and occupied by very desirable
class of people. The present land
policy of the Government has an i'm
portant bearing upon this subject, and
should be continued, but upon more
extensive scale.
The subdivision of public lands
suitable for settlement should be car
ried on with all possible expedition
For this reason the Land Commission
should be granted increased facilities
for carrying on the work. A step II
this direction would be to place the
surveying of all lands to be opened
by the Commission, under the Bureau
of Survey. This would relieve the
Commission from many perpleXlnE
questions, and give the Land Agen
opportunity to attend to other details

made a vigorous attack on the Spaniards
with little result. They shelled Span.
ish blockhouse north of Manila and cap.
tured the guns at Mesa. There was a
furious musketry fire all night, the
Spaniards replying with artillery and
musketry. About 400 native infantry
joined the insurgents. The insurgents
rushed to the Malat intrenchments,
pushing forward to the walls of the fort
but had to retire at daylight 1t is prob

l3-- The insurgents on July 6 reported
that the German boat Irene, in Subic
bay, had refused to permit them to
attack the Spaniards on Grand island
Dewey promptly dispatch ed the Releigh
and Concord to investigate. On ar.
irving at Subic bay the Raleigh opened
fire on the fort, whereupon the Irene
slipped her cable and Slid out Of the
channel The result of the American
fire was that the Spaniards. numbering
over 800 men, surrendered. One re.
turning to Manila the Irene explained
that she interferred in the interest of
humanity. Dewey's possession OF tn is
bay is said to defeat Germany's sup.
posed plans to interfere in the Philip
pines.
Off Juragua, July -Allnegotiation
for peaceful surrender ended in utter
failure today. Gen. Toral finally refused
to accept the proposition for an uncon-
dtional surrender OF Santiago. The
last proposition of the American general
was that the Americans export the
Spaniards to Spain, furnishing trans.
ports for that purpose. This was re-
fused. The Americans are now rushing
guns to the front and tie attack on the
city will begin as soon as enough of
them are located.
Gen. Blanco has replied to the Spanish
governments representa- lions regarding
peace by energetically pro rotesting against
any idea OF peace. 1t is said that Blanco
tried to commit suicide when he heard
OF Cerveras destruction, but tn at he was
restrained. There are IA cases Of yellow

General Shafter's available force
today, after counting all reinforce
ments and deducting the dead, sick
and wounded, is 22,S50 fighting
men, according to military estim,
ates. This is based on an estimate
of $4,000 men in General Skaters
original expedition and about ten
thousand in various expeditions
which have gone there since, making
in all twenty six thousand. From
this, however, must be deducted the
casualties in the fighting thus far
and also the men confined to the
hospital by sickness. The deduct
ion is roughly estimated at three
thousand. Another force of twenty
five hundred men, comprising Cen
eral Ernest's brigade, is ready to
start, and with this force General
Skaters fighting strength will be
swelled to about twenty five thou
sand men by the arrivals of this
week.

Soon after Andy Burt was made
colonel of the 25th colored regiment
he told his men, then at Chicamauga
that they must play ball an hour ev-
cry day in order to get hardened up.
"And while we play" said he, ''re-
member that I'm not Col. Burt, but
plain Andy Burt" During the first
game the colonel lined out, what was
a sure home run. "Run, Andy, you
tallor-facei, knock -kneed son of a

at the coaching line. The colonel
stopped at first base, got another
player to take his place, put on his
uniform and announced: 81 am Col

THE ANNUAL OUTING.

In the active life usually led by
the average American a vacation of
varying length has become almost a
necessity. Many are situated so
that it seems almost an impossibility
to CRAFTY this longing for rest, or
more properly speaking, change
from the monotonous routine of a
workaday life. The people of Mon
tana, and more particularly the resi-
dents of Belt are peculiarly favored
in this regard. No matter in what
direction the ideas of the seeker aft
or rest tend, the means of gratfca-
ton are at hand.
To the fisherman and camper-out
with only limited time at his dispos-
al, there are numerous trout staeams
to select from within radius of a
few miles, including such famous
brooks as the Highwood, an excel
lent stream for fly fishing, free from
brush; Little Belt, rather too much
brnsh for comfortable fishing but
plenty of trout, though small; Davis
and Otter creeks in which good
catches have been reported, and our
own Belt river. In the latter the
fish have been pretty well caught
ont in the vicinity of the town, but
seven or eight miles above brings
one to good fishing grounds, and the
river from thence to to the head
waters is the equal of any stream in
the state. All these streams are
readily accessible, the first four
named by wagon road and the latter
by the Neihart branch of the Mon
tana Central railroad, which follows
the river from Belt to Neihart, a
distance of forty miles. For those
who do not care to camp out, ar
rangements can usually be made
with hospitable ranchmen for board
and lodging, while at Logging
creek near the noted Sluice Box
canyon is located the Dodd summer
hotel, where will be found first class
accommodations Monarch and Nei-
hart are also supplied with first class
hotels.
Though Belt has not much to off
er the bicycle enthusiast in the way
of boulevards and bicycle paths,
still, after the bench which sur
rounds our town is once reached, no
better roads are to be found in any
country, and delightful excurions
may be taken in variety of direct
ions.
The rapid settlement of this sect
ion of the state has caused the dis
appearance of the larger game, but
the moutains 80 miles to the south
is still the home of thousands of
deer, elk, bear, mountain sheep and
occasionally moose. In the mat
ter of small game, the prairies i'm
mediately adjacent to Belt afford
unequal sport during the open sea
son, being fairly alive with prairie
chickens and grouse Belt Valley
Times.

The United States Commercially.

The United States Commercially.
We do not know how Simpsons s
victory will affect the triple alliance
talk heard in Germany, France and
Russia, with view to disposing of
the Philippines as will best please
those nations. There are few facts
in the speech of Mr.. Henry Shat
roth, however, which, taken in con-
nection with the recently demon
strated truth that the United States
is not alone commercial nation,
ought to have some weight with our
European neighbors.
Mr.. Shafroth declares that, sGreat
as the government is, there is some
thing still greater, and that is the
people of the United States. We are
the greatest producers and consum-
ers on earth. Our rs, 100000 of peo-
pie are equal to 7OO,000,O0O of the
average Of the rest of the world"
F, The United States transports more
tons Of freight than all the world be-
side. Of the worlds cotton crop of
13,33O,O bales, the United States
produces 1O,235,OO bales. Vessels
in lake and river traffic of the United
States 100000 tons, which is 20
percent of all the carrying power on
the high seas.
Our corn product is four times as
great as all the world combined
Our country produces more than
two-ffths of the worlds wheat sup
ply, and our total cereal crop is more
than one-third of the worlds supply.
Our country has one-ffth of the
worlds horses, one-fourth of its
mules and two thirds of it's swine.
We supply of the worlds fish near
ly one-third, of beef two -sevenths, of
of pork ehalf, of butter nearly
one-third, of oysters three fourths, of
tobacco nearly onet third.
OF coal our product is nearly one
half of all the world.
We produce half the lumber and
more than half the petroleum of the
world.
Our gold product is more than one
fourth, and our silver product more
than one-third that of the world.
Our country has half the miles of
telegraph in the world, and of the
l,4O2, 100 telephones in the world,
the United States has 100000.
Of the $4,000 newspapers in the
world this country publishes 2O,569.
We have one third of the world s
post offices and send out one third of
the worlds mail matter.
Our inhabitants possess more than
one-fourth the working power of the
world; we produce one-third of the
worlds manufactured products.
Prof. Francois puts the wealth of
the United States at one-fourth that
of the world; $62,600,0O0,O 200 for the
United States against 1928, 100000
600 for all the world outside. Our
railroads are 1S2,776 miles against
253,474 for all the world outside. In
1892 our railroads carried $4,000,
600 tons of freight 100 miles, against
SOB 100000 on all the outside roads
of the world.
With such a showing it seems but
fair to say that Mulhall surveyed the
world accurately when he said: If we
take a survey of mankind in ancient
or modern times as regards the phys
ical, mechanical, or intellectual fore
es of nations, we find nothing to com
pare with the United States Great
Falls Leader.
