~ Editor Democrat:
 Dear Sir: Like everywhere else in the Brass city the holiday season came on us with a rush. On the Sunday be- fore Christmas the streets were full of groves of trees, branches and rings, and express wagons were circulating as though it were a week day, while every man, woman and child carried dainty white packages suggestive Of unbounded prosperity. At the south mayd Home," formerly Comfort Man or,' there were gifts galore, both per sonal and for the household. There is no danger of our forgetting that we have entered on the new year, for calendars of every size and hue. and each one handsomer than the other, were showered upon us. We would es- pecially notice those presented us by the Kings Daughters and also fruit from several sources. During the week the "Old Ladies' have been re- ceiving New Years calls from the Rev MT Buckley, of this city: Dr Thomas Bull. of Naugatuck: John k. Platt, Prospect: James Linsley, from Will Hams college and William Brown. of New York. l..

TWO SUCCESSFUL RAIDS.
Made in Oxford Last Night on Con-
 plaint of Woman.

Made ill Oxford Last Night on Con-
 plaint of a Woman.
 Upon the complaint of a woman who claimed that her husband was drink ing himself to ruin, a rad was made upon two well known hosteiries il. Oxford last evening by Deputy Sher- ifs Rigney of this city and Sweeney of Naugatuck. At the Oxford house, which is kept by James Kelley, tue officers were defed to find any liquor ill the place. Thereupon they searched the house from cellar to attic, but failed to locate any spirits. They were standing in the kitchen, where the proprietor kept the most innocent looking desk ever seen. An inspira- ton seized Sheriff Rigney; here was a place he had not searched right un- der his business optic, and he demand ed the proprietor to open it. Mir Kelley threw up his hands, exclaiming: You've got me- The desk was opened and about two gallons of whis- key in bottles were revealed.
 The find was larger at the Oxford Inn, kept by George Crofut. MT Cro- fut insisted that not a drop of liquor was on his premises and told the off cers ip the blandest tone they were at liberty to 20 through the house. In the cellar they found few dozen of lager and about ten gallons of various kinds of wines, besides whiSkey, brandy. etc. The liquors in both in stances were taken possession of bv the officers. Bonds wer eiven in both cases and # is helinved that. Drosncrl- tions will not rcsr'1t hrt that settle ment will be made in each case.

An Editor and q Golden HAIR.

zone beautiful spring morning an
editor found a golden hair lying be-
tween the pages of a manuscript"
writes Edward Box in The Ladies'
Home Journal. '"The moment he reach
ed the page it gracefully fluttered out.
Flushed with excitement, the editor
caught it. 1t was not his Lair, he ar
gued, therefore it was not his property.
Then, again, he thought, the owner
probably lost it and might need it. So
he put it back. He was methodfcal
man, and he replaced it exactly us he
had found it. He was not many days
older when he received letter proving
by the very hair he had SO dexterously
caught and conscientiously replaced
that he never had read or even opened
the manuscript Of the writer. Gould

Bullnghters Afraid OF Cows.

It will probably not surprise our
readers to hear that most Spanish bull
fighters object to fighting cows. The
real reason may. however. astonish
them. A sportsmanlike objection to
prosecuting a female animal has moth
ing whatever to do with it. The fact is
that the average toreador is sincerely
afraid of COW.
And he has good reason. The cows Of
the half wild breed used for the arena
are much quicker in their movements
than are the bulls. Their horns are
more pointed and more formidable.
They do not lower their heads to the
ground. shut their eyes and charge like
a locomotive upon the rails. but are
alert and ready to follow every move
ment of their prosecutors. Their war
like tactics have been adapted not to
blind. bovine frontal attacks. but to the
strategy of active and cunning beasts
Of prey, of which the human bullfighter
is only feeble mimic. If these cheap
idols Of the Spanish populace would
face young and active wild cows which
had just been robbed of their calves.
they might perhaps forestall the butch
er, but they would. at any rate, do
something to earn their laurels.-Pear-
sons,

The attention of the attorney gen.
eral of Montana, who objects to the
shaking of dice for cigars and who
intimates that he will not allow
game of poker in a private house if he
knows of it, is respectfully directed
to sections 749 to 752 of the penal
code of this state and to the fact re-
Gently in Butte these sections of the
law were openly and VIGOROUSLY viO-
lated. Is Donovan a patron of the
manly art that he should thus over
look violations of the law such as the
Wade Oglesby fight? There must be
something the matter with Donovan
He insists that the gambling law will
be enforced to the letter so long as il

against prize fighting is also on. the

force it? Why does he wink at its

WHY THEY DID 1T.

A party familiar with the work of
the biological station at Bigfork
writes the Bee as follows:
see by published reports that
some one has taken up the question
of the biological station people kill
ing game here and l am going to give
you few facts so that you will
know all the facts and the reason
why such game as has been killed
has been taken.
First-There is being built up at the
University of Montana and probably
other state institutions, a museum OF
all Montana animals and birds.
Second-This work has been going
on since the foundation of the univer
sity, but in no case has a private in
dividual Notwithstanding that thous
ands are killed each year, ever pre-
scented the skin of mammal or bird
Third-It was found necessary t.
secure specimens during the vacation
mOnths-that Is, during the time thai
such men as Profs. Elrod, Silloway
and Kicker were giving their time
without compensation, for the ad
vancement of Montana science.
FOurth-They have not slaughter
ed game. Never taken more thar
what are known as "groups"-male
female and young, and in no case,
more than one specimen of each, ant
where they had been taken during pre-
vious seasons, duplicates were no
taken.

Frogs a. scavengers.

Frogs are fine scavengers, destroying
great quantities of decaying animal
substance in springs and brooks and
keeping the water pure, thus proving
themselves most worthy Of kind treat
ment and preservation. They devour,
too, great numbers of insects, includ-
Ing flies and mosquitoes. In spite of
their queer shape, they are remarkably
expert jumpers and swimmers, and
many q boy has learned from them
both how to play leapfrog and how to
swim.

THE LEASED LAND.

If the policy of selling the state
lands is to be maintained lhere will
have to be a good showing made at
the forthcoming sale in this county.
It is such counties as Flathead which
will benefit most by the new policy
and every effort should be made to
encourage the state land board in
continuing that policy. For this rea-
son and for others, the holders of
state lands under lease in this county
should at this time endeavor to pur-
chase their lands outright. There are
some 5000 acres of state land under
lease in the Flathead valley at this
time, but before these can be offered
for sale the lessees will have to give
up their leases so that the land may
plan the lessees have the prior right
of purchase at the highest price bid,
and the price is likely to be much
lower this year than it will be next
year, when most of the leases expire.
The prior right of purchase expires
with the lease, so it is apparent that
if the lessees desire to purchase their
lands their best opportunity is pre-
scented this year.
The terms of sale are 80 per cent
of the purchase price down and the
balance in seven annual payments at
Z per cent interest. In the present
easy condition of the money market
it is entirely likely that all who need
to do SO could procure the necessary
funds at this time without difficulty,
while the same conditions might not
prevail another year.
Register Long, it is understood, will
reach Kalispell this evening and re-
main for few days for the purposes
of meeting such lessees of state
lands as may desire to forego their
leases and purchase instead. For the
sake of encouraging the continued
sale of the state lands as we'll as be-
cause it seems to be the very best
thing to do, it is to be hoped that
most if not all of the land now under
lease from the state in this count,
may be included in that to be Offered
for sale in October of this year.

Fifth am OF the opinion Cnat you
are greatly misinformed regarding the
game warden issuing permits. as l
understand the law. It provides that
the state university and other state
colleges can collect specimens. When
a. person is authorized to collect 1or
the university the state game warden
is notified. He then notifies his depu-
ties and as a consequence here is no
unnecessary prosecution. At the
nresent time l am informed there are
in Montana but three people collect
ing for the university. Two are
taking small birds and the third
mammals.
Regarding the violation of game
laws, if you come down here and re-
main a month as resident you Will
find with few exceptions that when
fresh meat is wanted the game laws
do not cut ice with the rancher-and
T believe this to be the rule and not
the exception over the entire county.
Prof. Elrod and his party left here
Saturday morning when the seasons
work came to an end. DO know
that they made no secret of what was
killed. in fact the prepared skins were
on exhibition at all times and visitors
were always welcome. l think. per-
sonally, that your informant should
perhaps have visited the station or at
least raised the wolf cry before they
left.
The gist of the foregoing seems to
be in the statement that it was found
necessary to secure specimens for
the university museum during the
vacation months. No one will ques-
ton the propriety Of securing such
collections for the use of Montana ed
ucational institutions, but that it is
necessary to secure such specimens
during the closed season may very
seriously be questioned. The Bees
information was specifically that the
biological station people had been kill
ing wild geese and that they had fired
into the same flock repeatedly with
shot guns on different days. This
does not look like the method of col
lector for scientific purposes.
The assertion that the ranchers,
generally, in the neighborhood of Big
fork disregard the game law when
thew want meat and that the same
state of affairs exists all over the
county, indicates grave condition OF
affairs and should receive the atten-
ton of Deputy Boucher. Perhaps the
Bigfork condition may be explained
as a result of the operations Of the
biological gentlemen. The average
rancher may find it hard to under
stand why he should go without fresh
meat while the strangers in the neigh
borhood are permitted to ignore the
law for the ENDS of science.
1t is just possible that the Bees in
formant has personally visited the
station and that he may not have
known that the scientific gentlemen
there intended leaving so soon. In
any event the Bee cannot see that
their presence or absence from the BIZ
illogical station in anywise affects the
merits of the complaint against
them.
