Fergus County.

The assessments of railroads appOr-
toned among the different counties by
the state board of equliZatiOn ought to
make Fergus county turn as green
with envy as that beautiful part of
the. state is green with growing crops,
says the Great Falls Leader. When
Fergus county, one of the wealthiest in
natural resources of the entire state of
Montana, reads that the railroad mile
age in Choteau county is assessed for
81, 442, S19, what do they think of them
selves? What do they mean by MAX
ing no inducement to the Burlington.
Northern Pacific Great Falls & Can
ada. or, if the people Of the county will
give enough concessions, they can be
blessed by the Great Northern. The
Great Northern is not half as bad as
some people paint it, To be sure, It
isn't a fancy road, but it knows how
to do business. The Great Northern
would make a great county out of
Fergus, and in return Fergus county
would make one of the most profitable
branches of the Great Northern. Per
haps our prosperous neighbors will tell
us that the railroads know very well
that they stand ready to make induce
ments to any of the roads named, or
private independent enterprise. If so
we would ask the railroads what is the
matter with them? But they will not
tell. The Great Falls & Canada, how
ever has nothing to tell. 1t does not
approach the Nebraska corn fields, and
considering the territory it covers it is
safe to say that it has no keep out
agreements with any road Ther5 is
the Canadian Pacific. it can tap the
richest part of the United States of
America. II can take advantage of the
station at Lewistown. There is not a
better opening for railroad building on
the earth's surface than to connect tha
Great Northern. Great Falls & Canada,
consequently the Canadian Pacific,
with the Northern Pacific and Burlirg-
ton and their connections. At the same
time such a short line would run
through admittedly the richest Part of
the United States.

Three Years Ago and Now.

While it is generally acknowledged
that the business situation in Montana
is much more satisfactory than ii was
three years ago, the extent of the i'm
provement will be better appreciated
by comparing certain data bearing up
on the subject. says the Fort Benton
River Press. The comparison demon
Strates that the people of MOntara
have made remarkable progress during
the past three years. and are now en-
joying degree of prosperity that
should be a source of pride to every
patriotic citizen. Convincing testimony
in this connection is furnished by the
amount of property returned for tax
atom by the people of Montana. In 1896
property to the value of $120, G91.S4I was
listed with the assessor. while this
year the valuation promises to exceed
S140. 100000. A gain of some 100000, 900
in assessable wealth in the short space
of three years is a most excellent show
ing for a community of about 200, 600
The residents of all parts of Montana
have participated in the improved
condition sof the past three years. In
1896 the live stock interests of the state
had a most discOura ging experience.
The beef market ruled for the most
part at from $500 to $3.50 for good
Montana steers: mutton wethers that
netted $500 per head brought what was
then regarded as a good price, and s.
cent wool was an average quotation IN
Montana markets. When these figures
are placed beside the market values of
to-day one realizes the difference be
tween the business conditions of three
years ago and now. The products of
Montana ranches also find a better
market than was available in 1896, and
the value of ranch property itself has
appreciated to remarkable degree.
The demand for ranch property the
past two or three years has given a
handsome value to locations that could
not find purchaser in 1896 at any
price. In the mining industry. ais o,
there has been a record of steady
progress during the past three years;

ployed in Montana mines than at any

Governor Smith is apt to be nomi-
mated by Montana's democracy to sue
coed himself as governor says the Mel
hart Herald. After all criticism has
been weighed it appears that he is the
strongest democrat in the state, and
the strength of his spinal column is
proved beyond question.

judicial Contests.

Ii looking over the results Of the late
election In this State, the election OF
Common Pleas Judges. where vacancies
existed, is interesting ON account of the
contests waged and the influences that
sought to control the bench.
There were some ten Judges to elect
and the results indicate that the voters
In most Of them paid more attention to
fitness and integrity than to what party
claimed them.
To start with, two in Philadelphia
one Of each party were indorsed by
both and elected. Then in Chester and
Luzerne counties, the present Judges
were Endorsed for reelection by both
political parties, one being a Republi-
can and the other Democrat. Coming
to Pittsburg we find Judge Collier in
dorsed by both parties as tribute to
his judicial fitness.
In Schuylkill county Judge Pershing
resigned last August on account of Ill
ness, the Governor appointed q politi-
clan to the vacancy and ne received the
nomination, but his Democratic oppo-
nent. who was sound lawyer and ire
proachable man, was elected.
In old Westmoreland, Fayette and
Armstrong counties, in this portion OF
the State, partisan contests were bitter
ly waged with the result that Steele, in
the first named county was beaten by
Judge Doty, who has shown his judicial
fairness in nearly ten years OF service.
In Fayette both candidates were con
ceded to be able and fair men, but Um.
bel, Democrat, won by n few votes.
In Armstrong county, Patton was
elected by 43G over Judge Rayburn.
while the balance of the Republican
county ticket had about 1900. +.

THE AFRICAN WAR.

During last week the Beers had Lady
smith completely invested, and fight
ing was proceedingly daily. The Brit
ish would sally and attempt to capture
Boer batteries. On one day there were
three separate engagements. A party
which rode out from Estcourt, few
miles below Ladysmith on the railroad
to observe the bombardment could see
Long Tom. 40 FOUNDER, posted on
railway side of the Bulwara, firing al
intervals of six to eight minutes. An
other gun was observed in operation
little distance away. Puffs Of smoke
were discern able ON the opposite side,
showing that Ladysmitn was Withstand
ing big bombardment. The locality
Of the town was nothing but huge cal
dron of smoke.
The safe arrival ut Ladysmfth OF
Lieut.. Hooper, Of the Fifth Lancers
shows that communication with the
garrison is possible. He was anxious to
rejoin his regiment and started hence,
accompanied by a Natal policeman.
They succeeded in traversing the Boer
lines
The Beers were also bombarding
