MILK RIVER VALLEY.
Cattlemen Are Reaping Fortunes
Rich Native Grasses.

William Mcintyre, a leading stockman
of the Milk River valley, Northwest Ter
ritory. is spending a few days In Seat
tie. Mr.. Mcintyre states that the stock
raising interests in his section are be-
coming very important. He Is interested
with Spencer Bros, who have secured by
lease and purchase the entire north side
of Milk river for a distance of twenty
five miles, and width of five townships.
They have 5000 head of cattle, and send
to the leading cities of the Dominion and
the middle states trainload after trainload
of stock, that have been fattened and
are ready for the butcher on no other feed
than the native grasses.
For several years." said Mr.. Mcintyre,
'the stockmen of our country have had
everything coming their way. Prices have
been very good and fortunes are being
made out of the business. AS an in
stance, not long before / left I noted a
roundup that a party made of yearling
stock, that he had turned on the range
two years before, the price he purchased
them at being 5000 per head. He gath
cred up $50 fine fat animals, and sold them
for $45, and he will probably be able to get
nearly all the rest of them in another
roundup.
1--WE have a wideawake lot of people
up in our country" he continued. Stock
raising is the main industry, and we are
doing our best to develop 1t to the high
est degree. A general movement is ueing
made for the improvement of the grade
q cattle, there being made some large
importations of spendidly bred grade
Herefords and Shorthorns during the
year."

cation with over 800 pupils: Twenty-three
new pupils who were enrolled became resi-
dents of the district during the two weeks

district since last term. This. In a small
way, illustrates the growth Of the city.
At present only nineteen teachers are in

ADDRESS
ByMayOrW. Young.
Delivered Before the
Economic League.
Subject, "Modern Munci-
pal Government"
Mayor Favors Government on
Federal Plan.
Iudqes Tibbals and Stuart Declare
Against Commissioners Law.

At the meeting of the Economic
League Tuesday evening, two changes
were made in the program. On April
10, instead of the discussion of "Gov-
ernment Ownership" by Prof. S, p.
Orth, G. Mercer Adam, editor Of Self
Culture, will discuss Democracy and
Empire" and on May %, Prof. S. p.
Orth, instead of Paul Il. Werner, will
talk on "The Public School Teacher Of
America"
Judge G. r. Grant was chairman of
the meeting. N. Chalkcr, chairman of
the committee appointed to investigate
the matter of admitting associate mem
bers to the League, reported that such
members could be admitted, upon their
paying membership fee of 81, and
helping to bear expenses of the
League.
The opening address on the subject
of the evening-"Modern Municipal
Government" delivered by May
or w. Z. Young.
Mayor Young's handling of the sub
ject was able and instructive. He ex-
planned the systems of municipal gov
ernment, and made comparisons. May
or Young is believer in the Federal
Plan of Government, and he is of the
opinion that the Mayor Of cities of
Akron's class should be Mayor not
only in name, but also in fact, the chief
executive officer of the city; that the
city's business should be divided into
departments, consisting of depart
ment of public works, one Of public
safety and one of law; that the heads
of these departments should be ap-
pointed by the Mayor, and he should be
answerable for the conduct of their re-
spective departments.
"The Federal Plan," said the Mayor,
"was formulated by commission of
eminent jurists and students of munic
ipal affairs for the government Of
Greater New York. 1t is the same plan
by which Cleveland and Columbus are
governed. 1t is in many respects a
strictly partisan plan Of government.
However, the charters of nearly all the
cities governed under this plan provide
that subordinates employed in the var
ious departments shall be chosen by
the merit system, and shall hold their
| positions during good behavior.
"Under the Federal plan there is no
| appointing for the party in power to
evade responsibility. This is feature
which would certainly be appreciated
by the people of Akron, for you are

Speaking further Judge Tibbals re-
ferred to the necessity of selecting good
officials, and he deplored the fact that
present conditions made it hard to Sc.
cure the best men for offices. He said:
ut has come to pass that sc much
abuse and unwarranted personal criti-
cism is heaped upon candidates, that
the good men are more inclined to fly
to the woods than become candidates
| for Office"
Judge Il. W. Stuart also said that the
Probate Judge should have nothing to
do with the appointing of city officials.
He said that the Board should have its
duties defined and the members he
required to act as directors. Council" 4"
he said, "should he limited to ordinanc-
es and matters relating to taxation.

"The Liars" will be presented by
Mr.. Otis Skinner at the Grand on Fri
day evening. This is the play, by
Henry Arthur Jones, called comedy

the leading character, that of Sir
Christopher Deering. The story of
'"The Liars is as follows: Lady Jes-
sica is married to a middle-aged man,
Gilbert Nepean, whose treatment of
his wife is Indifferent, IL not rude.
She is young woman, impetuous, i'm
pulsive and ardent, and is followed
about by Edward Falkner, young
African explorer-a social lion-who is
very fond Of her. Her friends are in
terested in protecting her from any
scandal that might ensue, and an i'm

that some of the most interesting

In the meantime, Lady Jesslca's hus-

MONEY
Raised In Akron For the
Beers
Cannot be Sent to TransvaaI-Recent
Decision Cited.

Decision Cited.
The members of the Akron Land
wehr verein are wondering what will
become of their contributions to the
Beers. "
A considerable sum was raised in
this city for the fund which was to be
sent to the Transvaal. This money
was forwarded to the agent of the
Transvaal Relief fund for transmission
to the Beers.
He asked for information relative to
forwarding the money. The Post
master General at Washington refused
to send the money collected in the
United States for the support and as
sistance of the Boer families, and
their dead and wounded. A recent de-
cislon of the Senate will be of inter-
est to all, who assisted in making the
collections. 1t holds that sending of
money to assist those left behind and
for "other purposes would be a vio-
lation of the neutrality law.
If the money is not to be sent to the
Beers the members Of the Landwehr
vercin want it used in some way that
will be of assistance to the struggling
Burghers.

OF all the noted upon whom the book
touches, Mr.. Gladstone is, naturally the one to
whom reference is most often made. Lord
Seborne was always friend and long devoted
admirer and follower of the Great Commoner
But ardent supporter Of the Established
Church-loyalty to which he placed above all
party ties-could not but be repelled by Glad
stones attitude toward ecclesiastical affairs
and the breach thus begun became complete
when the Liberal party staked its all upon the
success Of the Home Rule venture. Through

out word of appreciation of the touching trib-
ute which the writer pays to the character and
devotion of his wife. Surely the sweet face
which her portrait reveals to is ample proof
that the affection in which she was held by all
who knew her was we'll deserved.
