FENCING PUBLIC LANDS
A Scheme to Drive Out the Small
Rancher.
A STARTLING STATEMENT
s. Fl. Brown of Choteau Says Com
bined Effort Is to Be Made to Harass
the Farmer of Small Means and
Make Him Quit the Country.

Great Falls, Feb. 13.-As stated re-
Gently in the Standard. about 80 or oo
of the residents of Teton county, no
tably those having ranches near Cho-
teau and Dupuyer, have been sum-
moned to appear before the united
States district court at Helena TO an
swer to charges of having illegally
fenced public lands. According 10 ,.
II. Brown of Choteau, who IS one OF
the men summoned, the move IS started
by the big stoclSmen and stock compan-
les to run the small rancher out OF the
country. 1t is said TO be the intention
to make the move in every part OF the
state and so harass the man of small
means that he will be obliged to quit
the country. Such proceedings are SAID
to have been common in the days Wnen
Montana was sparsely settled, but the
statement Is somewhat Startling al tAe
present day.
1T is we'll known fact" said Mr.
Brown, land will be admitted by every
business man in this county, That the
small rancher does more toward the up
building of the interests of the state
than the large stockman, especially
when the small ranchers are gathered
together in one community from which
the state and county gather taxes. FROM
the same source, the business men al
the nearest trading station gather lHeli
greatest revenue.
The common cry in the state of Mon
tana" further remarked Mr.. Brown, rs
Let more people come west and build
up the country What are we to do
with them If they come for any other
purpose than to invest their capital OF
settle on a ranch and help make this an
agricultural as well as a mining COM
munity?
THE large stockman or, more prop
erly speaking, the large stock company,
is here to make money that will be spent
in New York and elsewhere in the East
while the small rancher spends his mon
ely at home, for the benefit of the COM
lnunity in which he lives. One company
will usually have in its employ from x
to IS men, who comprise floating pop
ulation and are not Interested in the
country or it's development, nor do they
constitute any part of the government
of the county as they simply work 10
wages and have no interests at stake
Thus it will be SEEN" concluded Mr.
Brown that multitude of small
farmers, each with his own holding,
much better for the country than on
or two big syndicates.

ENTERPRISE
Now that the electric power plant at Niagara
has been enlarged to meet the increasing de-
mand for current both at the Falls and IN
neghboring cities. enlarged supply Is about
TO be afforded to Buffalo. a circular has there
fore been issued giving the rates for local con-
sumers Of electric power. The matter possesses
more than local interest. however. The Niagara
enterprise has been pioneer In more ways than
one When 1t was first projected. scarcely any
attempt had been made In this country or tsu-
rope to develop the power Of waterfalls for
transmission (by electric means) to distance.
Since that time many other schemes OF this kind
have been carried out Most Of the peculiar
problems OF these enterprises-that Is to say. the
new questions Of electrical engineering which
were involved-were nrst worked out for he

THE QUESTION OF DISTANCE
The distance to which electric power can b
advantaseously transmitted depends not mere
" on the cost Of generating and transmitting
the current, but also the price OF coal At
points where electricity Is liable to compete with
steam power. Coal costs much less In Buffalo.
for instance, than on top OF Pixies Peak. What
would be an extravagant price for power In the
former place. therefore, might be an abnormally
low one in the other

CORNERED HIM.

Blair at Last Runs DOvenOr to Cover.
There now appears to be no way
to avoid a clash between Congress-
man B. B. Dovenor, and the Dem
ocratic congressional candidate,
Jackson V. Blair, at Benwood next
Saturday on the occasion of the
two meeting in the industrial town.
In fact, Mr.. Blair appears to have
Dovenor "cornered." After sew
eral weeks of diplomatic ma
neuvering and acute anxiety, the
Doddridge county man seems to
have succeeded in his efforts to
drive the Little Giant of the Pan
handle to a point where wordy
sparring may result; hence the
elation of the democratic managers
at the prospect of Mr.. Blair out
wind jamming Congressman Dow
ener until further orders.
1t is now patent to observing
republicans that the Benwood en-
gagement was made for the express
purpose of giving Mr.. B'air a
chance TO "annihilate" his oppo'
nent. That be will frost" him,
overwhelm him with the torrent OF
logical oratory, and completely rout
him from the blazoned path of ira
ditional doctrine, is thing fore
gone, and the finishing touches
will be put to he crushing defeat
by that gentle" organ in words
choice and delicate.
The situation to Benwood repub-
licans is full of promise. They feel
assured that they are about to en-
JOY feast of joint debate hitherto
denied less fortunate places in the
district. There is nothing that can
prevent the two candidates from
coming together unless it be a
backward movement upon the
part of the Doddridge county man.
