EXTRACTION WITH ENGLAND.
Treaty Concluded Amending the Ex-
istina Treaty.

\ treaty has been concluded be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain amendatory of the existing ex-
tradition treaty and intended to cor
rect certain imperfections in that in
strument developed by recent expert
ence. The changes do not material
ly affect the scope or principles of
the existing treaty, the chief item in
the list being a provision classifying
as crime, subject to extradition, the
obtaining of money under false pre-
lenses.
At present the treaty makes extra
ditionable the reception of money OBJ
tanned under false pretenses, and ON
ission of the principal in the crime
constituting a manifest absurdity, the
amendments made

AND ere the money was paid her she
had considered what disposition she
should make of it. Three thousand
dollars invested at 6 per cent would
yield but Sis per month barely enough
for board. She was hearty and strong
her work was agreeable and yielded
much more than four dollars a week.
She had no responsibilities and as
long as she had health and there were
buttonhole machines she could make
her living. Then why not crafty
her long-cherished ambition by max
ing tour of Europe as lady when
she had the chance, which might
never come again 1t was not long
after receiving the money before she
was enroute to Europe on flyer and
it is needless to say that the tour
she made was greatly enjoyed. 1t
was not terminated till barely enough
of the legacy was left to enable her
to reach home After a few days
rest attired in the latest Partisan style
and with head 50 stored with the
memories of her wonderful trip, she
returned to her factory and arranged
to resume her work 1t may well be
imagined that in the work room she
reSales proudly her companions with
accounts of her wonderful experience
in the old world. When the sugges-
ton is made that she should have
kept her legacy she asserts with
warmth that it was hers to use as she
chose and it paid her to experience
the life Of a lady traveller even but
for a few months.

STATE LANDS.

State Land Register Moore i'll lis
report for 1900 recommends thar al
lands owned by the state should be
withdrawn from sale and that they
be leased to settlers for an annual
rental. So far as this recommends
ton concerns timber or grazing lands
it is perhaps all right but as it affects
agricultural lands suitable for homes
a more vicious or pernicious system
could not be devised History mas
demonstrated that the strongest gov
eminent is possible only where the
citizens own their own homes, while
a nation of tenants is a nation of UNI
rest. England and Ireland are re-
spective examples of these two types
and Mr.. Moore need go no further
than Flathead county to see the ill
effects of his pet system. Large
tracts of land belonging to the state
are occupied by tenants in this coun-
ty, and if he will take a drive across
this valley he will need no guide to
point out the state lands, for while
the lands owned by settlers are mark
ed by comfortable homes and good
fences, the state lands are adorned
by miserable shacks, straw barns and
temporary fences, for no man cares to
put valuable improvements upon land
belonging to another. These lands
rent well at this time because of their
virgin fertility. but as every tenant
takes as much as possible from the
land with the smallest possible ex-
penditure, the lands will soon become
exhausted and of little or no rental
value. While the land reserves go
mostly to support educational institu-
ons of the state. the people of this
county are compelled to carry the
heavy end of the burden, while the
people of ,ne populous districts re-
ceive nearly all the benefits while
carrying none of the burdens of taxa
ton.
The people who own their homes
in this county must support the local
schools to educate several hundred
children whose parents reside upon
state lands; likewise they must nav
taxes to build and maintain roads
and bridges through the two hundred
thousand acres Of state lands in this
county; they must maintain the coun-
ty governments and courts used by
the people living upon state lands,
for the state lands pay no taxes what
ever.
Nearly all the people residing upon
state lands in this county have been
desirious of purchasing their hold
ings, but under the policy pursued by
the present state land officials they
have been unable to do so. 1t seems
certain that an effort will be made
at the next session of the legislature
to permanently withdraw all state
lands from sale and the taxpayers of
this county should make an effort to
prevent the enactment of such law.

Following the Ola Type.

From London Saturday Review.
The earlier railway carriages were, with
the most slavish exactness. built on the
pattern of the old stage coaches that pre-
ceded them. Every carriage was simply
three coaches stuck together and carried
on an iron frame, which ran upon four
wheels. Even the coachmans seat was re-
produced in grotesque miniature; and
each of these carriages, consisting Of
three compartments, had the legend in
scribed on it "Tria tuncta in uno." 1t took
half a century in this country to introduce
a new style of carriage; and even now
though certain details Of the old stage
coach have disappeared, the stage coach
PATTERN is still the one that prevails,
though with growing number Of excep-
tions, both here and throughout Europe
A still more remarkable example OF the
same persistence Of a type and the same
inability of the human Imagination to
change It IS afforded us by the motor
car. Nothing imDedes the popularity Of
the motor-car so much as the fact that
it's appearance is to our eyes awkward
and even ridiculous. Constant Efforts are
being made to overcome this defect; but
hitherto they have been made In vain
The reason is simply this--that the human
Imagination is altogether dominated by
the old idea Of the carriage drawn by
horses and no one has hitherto been
able to design a car which does not sug-
gest a carriage from which the
horses have been taken out There is
consequently In the whole structure a
want Of balance and meaning: and a mo-
tor-car in motion with its driver in a
peaked cap gives the impression that
while the coachman was batting the
horses, some demon in the disguise of
mechanic had got IN on the box, and
was making the vehicle 20. as a kind OF
practical joke. This unfortunate result
can be obviated only by the Introduction
of some design altogether new and origi-
nall but though the human Imagination
