Montana Editors.

The call for the Press association
meeting has been issued and the date
set for september > and 6 in Anaconda,
says the Livingston Post. To this
meeting will rally all the newspaper
men of the Treasure state to lay aside
for a time the corroding cares of the
workaday world and revel in the feast
of reason and flow of several other
things which usually take place when
editors are gathered together. There
are great many good men in the news
paper offices of Montana-men of brains
and ability, second to no other profess
sion in the state. and all of them are
performing a worthy work Among the
editors are numbered those who have
spent almost a generation in the news
paper business in Montana. and to those
the annual gathering of the busy breth-
rem of the pen is particularly enjoyable.
An excursion to Spokane has been
planned. and a sumptuous banquet at
the Montana hotel will have prominent
place on the programme. The Ana
Cunda Standard celebrates its tenth
birthday during the meeting and will
celebrate the event by a mammoth eX-
ira edition and a number of hCSpitable
courtesies to the visiting editors.

FAKE Doctors.

Butte has done wise thing by plac-
ing prohibitive license upon fake
doctors, who in years agone have found
Butte a bonanza, says the .BoZeman
Chronicle. When it comes to suckers
who bite at pills Butte easily takes
first place. The inha bitants being too
weak to protect themselves, the city
council has decided to protect them by
a tax of $50 a day on all street doctors
The alleged Quaker doctors, who took
away thousands of dollars from the
guliible of Butte. caused the ordinance
and if other cities will follow the eX-
ample people who can i'll afford it will
not be tempted to play against a shell
game which does them more injury
than good, but is well nigh irresistible
because it claims to cure the ills which
almost everyone imagines he has.

Homes for 500 Settlers.

The residents of Custer county hail
with delight the signing of the Grow
treaty. whereby nearly a million acres
of valuable grazing and agricultural
lands will be opened for settlement,
says the Forsythe Times. While Custer
county will have the larger portion of
the coded strip within its borders, Vel
lowstone obtains a valuable addition.
Fully 100000 acres along the east side
of Big Horn and Yellowstone rivers,
with their tributaries. may be classed
as arabic lands. and the remainder of
the tract valuable grazing lands. 1t is
a conservative estimate to say that five
hundred families can find homes in that
locality. Here, too. the state arid land
commission can find a broad field for
putting forth their best efforts. ne
influence of party leaders at Miles City
should be put forth to impress upon
our senators and congressman the ne
cessity and Importance of ratification
of this treaty during the early days of
the next session of congress. Locally
Custer and Yellowstone counties will
receive the greatest benefit, but the en-
tire state will profit by the increase of
population and wealth to come from
this source. The people of FOrsythe
should not be blind to the advantages
to be obtained by opening new settle
mentS contiguous to our town. and
whoever can get the ear of senator or
congressman from Montana. ask for the
carrying out of the Crow treaty.

BeaVerhead County.

The Dillon Examiner has given some
attention to a comparison of the tax
levies in the several counties of Mon
tana, and finds, with only a few coun-
ties yet to hear from, that BeaVerhead
reports the lowest rate of taxation for
county purposeS-13 mills. The levy in
every other county so far heard from
is from to IA mills higher, very large
majority of the counties having leVies
in excess of 16 mills. The taxpayers of
the county, when their attention is
called to this matter, will doubtless ap-
preciate their fortunate condition and
give credit where credit is due-to the
county commissioners who have con-
trclled the purse strings of the county
and managed its affairs in a most COM
mendable and economical manner In
this connection it is perhaps well to
mention that the capitalists and invest
ors of the country, and there is no bet
ter informed or more conservative bust
ness men, have absolute faith in the
financial integrity Of the county and in

If Spent in Montana.

Money spent in the prosecution of
war is money burned. Such money is
hopelessly destroyed. 1t never is re-
covered. 1t is as effectively lost to
earth as the lives of the soldiers who
fall in battle, says the Helena Independ-
ent. During the month of July the
American people burned not less than
100000 in war operations. That is,
they paid out for the support of the
army alone that much money above the
cost of maintaining the army in time of
peace. In addition to the money cost
of keeping the land forces up to a fight
ing point, there is to be added the in
creased cost of the enlarged navy. and
the money lost through the withdrawal
of more than $4,000 able-bodied citizens
from productive employment.
Let us calculate what could be &C
complished in Montana with that
amount of money expended in develop
ing the resources of the state. From
the year book of the department of
agriculture, recently issued by the au-
thorities at Washington, a copy of
which is at hand, it is learned that the
scientists and experts of the depart
ment estimate that one-fifth of the
state of Montana is reclaimable from
its arid condition. The area of the state
is about 1870, 900, 900 acres; one-tifth of
this area is q 600. 900 acres: this would
give 100000 farms of so acres each; esti-
mating five persons to each farm. the
state would then have a rural popula-
ton of 1850 900 people. Accepting Illi-
nOis as fair instance of the employ
ment of people in a farming state, and
rural population of 100000 people
would have near by an urban popula-
lation even more numerous-that is, the
farm and country population would be
2.700 900. This leaves out of calcula-
ton the mining population of the state.
1t leaves out the people who would oc-
cupy the remaining area amounting to

A Sanders Boom.

Colonel Sanders, the original admin
istration republican in Montana, is re-
ceiving many political compliments
these days, says the Dillon Examiner.
Leading republicans and journals be-
longing to both wings of the party are
urging his claims to the gubernatorial
nomination and literally feed the old
war horse" on political taffy. 1T will
be remembered that until short time
ago the so-called silver republicans and
their former leading organ, the Inter
Mountain, could scarcely find words
strong enough to express their con-
tempt for this stalwart republican.
Why this sudden change? During the
past 30 years the republican party of
Montana, whenever in need of a candi-
date to lead a folorn hope, has usually
selected Colonel Sanders for this honor
and the latter has always responded to
the call of his party. Is it possible for
history to repeat itself next year?

Possible Candidates.

Politics is beginning to loom up on
the horizon, says the Bozeman Chron-
icle. The friends of Governor Smith
are beginning to recfte his merits and
why he should have a second term.

groomed, and in northern Montana T.
G. Collins has his adherents for COVER

MORE SNOW IN COLORADO.
Some of the Railroad Lines Are Complete
ly Blocked Again.


Denver, Col, Feb ga fierce snow
storm has been raging in the mountains
since Monday night, completely block
aiding some of the railroad lines. The
Denver & Rio Grande, by a tremen-
dous effort, has managed to keep its
trains running over the greater part
of the system, but the main line is
blockaded on Tennessee pass. The
Colorado Midland and South Park lines,
parts of which have not been opened
for several weeks. are now buried under
greater drifts than ever before during
the winter. and no further effort will be
made to open these roads until the
storm ceases. The inhabitants of Brock
inridge, Kokomo, Dillon and other
points in that vicinity, as well as hum
dreds of miners living in cabins in the
surrounding mountains, are in condi-
ton that is rapidly becoming desperate
Stock is already starving in the towns
and the food supplies for the people are
running very low. 1t is believed iso-
lated miners have already starved to
death.
The Colorado & Southern, and the
Denver & Rio Grande companies have
promised to open their lines into this
territory as soon as the storm ceases,
and the people will help them with the
shovelling. To-day 100 shovellers on
the Midland struck for an increase of
wages from $1.15 to So per day. They
walked eight miles to Leadvile. 1t took
eight hours to make the trip. The Mid
land company has six engines and a
JUL plow at Busk trying to break the
blockade. hut the coal supply is limited.
1t is said eight engines are dead" and

is reported to be 10 to Is feet deep on q
