fight of course, but each Of us can aid

Keep busy-keep your brain at some
profitable work and love will not
bother you. It makes most Roadway

do during vacation and hence must
fall in love. When their brains work
all right again, they see that there was
no reason for it.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-We dream too
much of the beauties Of heaven instead
of bringing some Of the beauties Of
heaven to earth. There is q real world
and an ideal world. Many, in reach

way is to make the real so bright and
so beautiful that it will be evolved into
the ideal. Don't you see, then, what q
beautiful ideal world would be all

An interesting article in the Wool
Record of January 4th, is that giving
a synopsis of the report of Governor
Otero, of New Mexico, upon the con-
dition of the wool industry in that
state. The governor writes that the
industry is fi%ourishing, conditions
are prosperous and encourages new
settlers to come to that territory to
embark in the business. Among the
figures given are the following:
ION figuring 1T out it appears that
the cost OF curing for a flock OF 1000
for q year is $15 per month for each
of the two men and $40 for a boy, OF
$500 per year; their ratiOns and that
of the dogs, part of which Is mutton
from the fiocks, costs $12 per month
each, or $432, extra men to attend
Landing one month, 10 shearers at
three cents a fleece. $120; other incl
dental expenses, $2lS, or $l,4OO per
flock of 1000, or &c cents per head.
1.-THE return from the flock is esti-
mated at five pounds per head
&c, 1000 pounds of wool which, at the
present price, IA cents, gives $2,S0t
cash return from the flock, or a
profit of 81 400 clear money"
II SIS per month wages for men is
considered prosperity in New Mexico,
how should the wage earners OF

where the scale is from $50 to S35

Chance L. Harris, an old timer in
Montana and for many years a
prominent gentleman of Butte, and
one of the vice-presidents of the Mon
tana Press association died suddenly
at Butte last week Many old resi-
dents of the Basin will remember
him, for he came through this coun-
try during the 70's in company with
a detachment OF soldiers seeking
Indians who had taken the war
Butte Miner and had been engaged in
newspaper work agreater part of the
time during the past twenty years.
Always an attendant. at the meet
ings of the association, he was eX-
ceptionally popular and will esorely
missed when the gang assemblies in
Butte this summer. Mr.. Harris
prided himself on his health and
although 50 years old, looked not
over 40. He believed he would live
to see the century mark, but acct
dent overlook him. While walking
in Butte he slipped and sustained a
rupture of the heart, from which he
died in a few hours. For many years
he was a hard drinker but had not
touched a drop OF Intoxicating
beverage for - years. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted by the
Butte Press club:

Gus messenger of time hath stretched
forth it's cold, relentless hand and
gathered to the embrace o fdeath our
companion, associate and friend,
| Chauncey l.. Harris, be it
Resolved, BY the press associa-
| ton of the city of Butte, that in his
leavetaking from the lines of activity
and the duties of useful life h local
press suffers the loss of a champion
and a friend, a journalist of the
earlier days, whose heart remained
in touch with the profession of the
pen whatever vocation demanded his
abilities OF appealed to the incom-
parable energies of the man; that
the State Press association, of which
he was second vice president, loses
a worker who labOred increasingly
to promote the best interests of the
organization and it's membership,
and whose genial nature and breadth
of good-fellowship added sunshine
to it's annual meetings; that this
community and state has lost an
honored pioneer, a veteran citizen
of character and standing, a man
universally respected, one whose
memory will be long cherished, for,
be it written, he was without a foe:
that these expressions of friendship
and regard be published by the press
of this city and forwarded to the
secretary of the State Press associa-
ton, to be read at the next annual
meeting of that body, with the re-
quest that they be spread upon it's
records"

The case of Joseph Johnson, whom
the Missouri officers are very anxious
to take to that state on the charge
of abduction, promises to form a

to the charge of rape and when his
term was completed was taken be
fore Judge Brantly at Deer Lodge and
released on a writ of habeas corpus,
the extradition papers being very

when he was in Montana and were
declared worthless by the courts
