THE BARNES-kiyG PROPERTY.

The successful Inauguration of work
on the Barnes-King property at Ken
dali is hailed with pleasure, not alone
by the immediate owners, but by the
public rs well. 1t means another step
in the onward march of Fergus county
to n place near the top among the gold
producing counties of the state. Those
who have inspected the properties
owned by this company, and they have
quite a number, pronounce them most
promising for the work that has been
performed. The mine from which the
ore is now being taken shows up well
in all of the tunnels, drifts and shafts,
which goes to indicate large bodies Of
ore. With the plant in constant oper-
alton, thereby compelling energetic de-
velopment work, the magnitude of the
ore deposits will soon be determined.
With such IN experienced and conserv-
alive operator as Mr.. L. w. King in
terested there are the very backgrounds
for hope that the mines of the company
will prove ~bonanzas, next 10 the great
Kendall property, and that the fortu-
nate owners will some day view the
world from Easy street, free from care
and toll. To that sturdy pioneer and
citizen who is now well along in years,
Mr.. John =. Barnes, go the best wishes
of our citizens for the realization of
his fondest hopes.
Not only will the lively little town of
Kendall, whose inhabitants have pinned
their faith to the p%ermanency of the
mines, be benefited, but Lewistown
and the whole of Fergus county as well.
The years Of doubt and uncertainty
as regards our mines give place TO an
established faith, which we trust will
never have cause TO waver. With
cheaper and better processes of treat.
ment nothing is wanting but quantity.
1t will invite capital and return hand.
some dividends. Let us hope that the
ore bodies will prove unlimited.

We quoted last week an assertion
from the Great Falls Tribune TO the
effect that there were thousands and
thousands of acres of land in northern
Montana on which settlers would have
nc trouble in making a living In its
Sunday issue we find what seems like
a direct contradiction of its own state
ment, when it says: THE man who
says there is plenty of good land left is
sadly ignorant of the conditions in the
best agricultural sections of the state.
Let him go about the state and he will
know better" 1t would be interesting
10 know which statement the Tribune
holds to be true.

RESULT OF INVESTIGATIONS.
Jury Censures the Great Northern Off,
Gals.

Spokane, Oct. 1.-THE coroner's
jury at Wen atchee Investigating the
Great Northern railway wreck of
Oct. Z, returned a verdict today
severely ~censuring the company and
certain officials, implying that care
lessness caused the death Of III. H.
Nixon and Samuel Stallcup, victims
Of the wreck.
The jury said: 1--WE find said col
lision to have been caused by a par.
tial oversight In delivering orders on
the part Of John II. Watkins, day
operator at Wenatchee, and also by
an oversight In the train dispatcher's
office ut Spokane. We hold the
Great Northern railway responsible
for the wreck on the ground that the
said John HI. Watkins was over
worked, having been on duty 20
hours OF the day preceding the
wreck.
Watkins testified that the train
arrived Mt Wenatchee ut $40, so It is
yet to be decided who was at the
key in Spokane when the train was
cleared at Wenatchee, as evidence
concerning the man on duty at
Spokane is conflicting.

TINE LECTURER QUIT.
Wireless T~eIegrsphyis Not Always Success.
fuI-Megaphone Gets There First.

Wireless telegraphy has its little
failings, like other inventions. When
the Deutschland came in on her last
trip she was to receive the latest news
by this medium from Nantucket. 1t
was very dark and thick when she
arrived In what was supposed to be
easy wiring distance, supposedly
within a few miles, at most, OF the
lightship. The instrument began to
spit fire, ticking furiously. No reply
came. Interested passengers stood
about watching and listening while
one Of the officers discoursed upon
the wonders Of the Marconiinvention.
Here we are" said he, "out OF
touch with the whole world but for
this space-annihilating continuance.
In a moment we shall be receiving
the important news OF the day."
Aside to the operator-"Have you
got 'em yet?"
mo, sir; they don I answer InlnSs
seem to be out of order"
"The value Of the wireless tele-
graph" continued the lecturer, sis
best exemplifed under such circum-
stances as these. No other human
agency could open communication
with US. II we were In Mars we
could not be more Isolated"
At this moment a hoarse voice,
with the bello wing information pc
culiar to megaphone TRANSMISSION
doomed out loudly from the dark
ness to windward:
"Hey, out there, what In hell's the
matter with that wireless telegraph"
1t was Nantucket lightship. The
lecturlng officer hastily went below,
amidst the bowls OF the passengers.
The rest OF the communication was
conducted by megaphone.

IMMIGRATION TO Bt RESTRICTED.
Board Of Trade Of New York Urges Speed,
Action In the Matter.

New York, Oct. IA Resolutions
against the reckless admittance OF
undesirable immigrants to the United
States were adopted yesterday ut a
largely attended meeting Of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Board Of Trade OF New York. In the
resolutions 1t was stated that our
standing abroad as a law-abiding
people was injured by immigrants
imbued with the idea that 1t was
proper to assassinate presidents.
President Roosevelt was urged to
give the latter attention In his mes
sage to congress.
II was resolved that no immi-
grants should be allowed to land In
this country without the production
OF u certificate from Il United States
consul, giving sufficient Information
To enable the immigration officials to
pass intelligently upon the expedi-
ency OF granting the privilege OF resi-
dence In the United States.

A BAD MESS.

1t is a question worthy Of considera-
ton whether II would not be a good
idea to abandon county teachers insti-
tutes altogether. II should be done

The work of upbuilding the navy must
be steadily continued. No one point of
our policy, foreign or domestic, is more
important than this to the honor and ma
terial welfare and, above all, to the peace
of our nation in the future. Whether we
desire 1T or not we must henceforth rec
ognize that we have international duties
no less than international rights. Even
If our flag were hauled down in the Phil
ippines and Porto Rico, even If We decid-
ed not to build the isthmian canal, we
should need a thoroughly trained navy of
adequate size, or else be prepared definite
" and for all time to abandon the idea
that our nation is among those whose
sons go down to the sea in ships. Unless
our commerce is always to be carried IN
foreign bottoms We must have war craft
to protect 1t.
Inasmuch, however, as the American
people have no thought of abandoning
the path upon which they have entered.
and especially in view of the fact that
the building of the isthmian canal is fast
becoming one of the matters which the
whole people are united In demanding, it
is imperative that our navy should be put
and kept in the highest state of eff1cien-
cy and should be made to answer to our
growing needs. So far from being in any
way proyocation to war,an adequate and
highly trained navy is the best guarantee
against war. the cheapest and most eff
fective peace insurance The cost Of
building and maintaining such a navy
represents the very hghteSt premium for
insurlng peace which this nation can pos
Sibly pay.
