State Will Fight.

State Auditor Dunn intends to
make sort of test case of the Sisler
land contest which is now before the
Duluth land office. Mr.. Dunn says
that when a settler claims "a school
section it is frequently the case that
the school section is the best land in
the town and that the homesteader
will not be allowed to carry it of
without strict proof of good faith in
his improvements. Assistant Attor-
ney General Donahower will submit
arguments this week.
In this and similar case in section
So, town 60, range I, the state will not
only challenge the proof, but also
contend that it is school land not
subject to entry. In each case the
adjoining town had been surveyed.
AS section So is in the southeast cor
ner of the town, it was evident from
the lines of the adjoining towns thai
this particular land lay in section SO.
As the title attaches to the state as
soon as the lands are designated the
state will claim that this land was
sufficiently designated as soon as the
lines were run in the next towns. II
it was section 16, the other school
section which lies in the middle OF
the town, the same ground could not
be asserted. This is point that has
never been before the department.
and one that applies in number OF
cases.

Superior region, He said:

superior region, He said:
Il do not think that new discover
les of high grades of iron ore will
keep pace with the consumption.
There is time coming-it may be 2b
or 30 years more or less-when We
shall have to be content with lower
grades as is the case in other countries
to help out. The claim that has
been made Of inexhaustible supplies
or iron ore is all right in a sense. W.
have got ore enough to supply the
demand OF century or more if we
include the lowgrades, such as con-
tain say 80 or 40 per cent of iron, and
which are now not regarded as mer-
charitable.
There is no cause for alarm for
Americas supply of ore. When the
time comes that the low grade ores
must be pressed into service, Ameri-
can ingenuity will adapt itself to the
situation. There are other things
that will be overcome. 1t Is said
there is large amount of titanic ore.
Under present methods it is expensive
to eliminate the titanium but when
the time comes that cheaper methods
become imperative we may rely on Is
that they will be presented. 1 think
the time will come when titanic ores
will come in use."
Mr.. Kidder says the Lake Superior
region may be depended on to produce
the 1000, 900 to 100000 tons that
will be required this year. He was
not as sanguine that this amount,
under the circumstances of the late
opening of navigation and the
Buffalo strike, could be delivered by
the lake fleet.

1t Is Being Observed by; Catholi and
Episcopal Churches.
Wednesday was the first day Of Lent,
which is generally observed by Catho-
lies, Episcopalians and other religious
denominations. It is called Ash
Wednesday and the day is marked by
special religious services and is con-
sidered one Of the most important festi-
walls of the year. Ash Wednesday is
named from a custom in the Western
church Of sprinkling ashes on the heads
of penitents admitted to penance on
that day. The origin Of this ceremony
is generally attributed to Gregory, the
Great.
According to the present rite in the
Roman Catholic church, the ashes are
consecrated on the altar, sprinkled
with holy water, signed with the cross
and then strewn On the heads Of the
clergy and people, the priest repeating,
"Memento quod cinis es, ct in cinerem
reverteris' (Remember that thou art
dust, and will to dust return). Every
year before Lent the bishop of the dio-
cese issues regulations for the obser-
vance Of Lent. These regulations are
usually read in the parish church on
the Sunday morning preceding Ash
Wednesday.
Lent is being observed by the Catho-
lie and Episcopal churches Of Billings.

Sidewalks Are Cleaned While h Cross

Sidewalks Are Cleaned While the Cross
ings Are Not.
If our citizens ever had reason to
complain Of bad crossings it>fas been
during the past few days. since the
snow has COMMENDED 40 melt. The
city has a very carftpdy worded ordin-
ance which states that property owners.
under penalty Of a fine, shall clean the
snow from their walks, but it seems
that the city has overlooked its part in
regard to the cleaning Of the crossings.
The walks about the city are in a pas
sable condition and so are the crossings
if you wish to wade in slush over ankle
deep. The city officials have taken
pains to notify residents to clean snow
from their walks, and they will now
confer a great favor upon the citizens
by making some arrangements for the
cleaning Of the crossings.

tenn put in this winter and The Ga
zette has been furnished with the same,
which is as follows:
Tho total district sewer warrants
amount to So, O85. 80. The interest on
them from the time registered to the
first Monday in December next. when
first payment becomes delinquent.
which the law provides shall be made
part Of the expense, amounts to
$493. 80. or a total together with the
warrants. of $S,579.12. The district
as originally laid out comprises thirty
six 140-foot lots and one hundred and
twelve 13O-foot lots, and to these are to
be added four lots by request, making
in all 1853 lots, among which are to be
distributed the cost of the sewer in pro-
portion to their area. The cost of the
l80-foot lots is 800. IS per lot, and on
the 140-foot lots $50. so per lot. except
that where the assessment exceeds 25
per cent of the value per last assessment
the tax cannot exceed 25 per cent of
the assessed value in such oases-the
balance az under the law to be paid ont

sewer can find lame by multiplying
the number Of lots by the amount fos

CHAPPLE DRUG COMPANY.
BILLINGS, MONTANA.
EDITOR ANDERSON IN TOWN
On His Way to Butte as = Witness in q
Libel Suit.

Libel Suit.
Walter Anderson, the Red Lodge
editor, struck Billings Wednesday
morning, but he was too late TO lay
claim for having brought the chinook.
He was on his way to Butte, where he
appears as a witness in a libel snit
brought against the Miner by j. 81.
Cochran for $40, 900 damages. Cochran
will be remembered as having conduct
ed the bankrupt store in this city in
December Of 1897, and was later sue
ceeded BY the owner, J. F. Fine, who
lost his life about the middle of Decem-
Der by a fire in the store. When Coch-
ran was retired from the management a
report was sent from Billings to the
Miner that he had defrauded the
owner, j. f. Fine, of several hundred
dollars, besides running him in debt.
Now Cochran comes back at the Miner
for damages to his character, etc. AL
derson left Wednesday night for Butte.
The Picket editor is somewhat Of
"josher." Salmon, who was executed
IN Red Lodge last month, stated, pre-
vious to his hanging, that he would re-
turn to this world and haunt Anderson.
The latter now says that Salmon's
spirit descended in a pillar Of fire last
Thursday morning and set fire to the
court house in Red Lodge. This does
not connect very we'll with the report
Of the fire. which said it started in the
basement. We are more inclined to
think that Salmon's spirit assembled
than. descended and caused that con-
%fagration, and Anderson, we think, is
more liable to have communication
with spirits from below than above.

sank. Jones was unaccustOmed to water and
unable to swim, and Bach had almost sue

when Jones became frightened, clasped
Bach in such manner that both sank tC
