Farewell until the morning breaks,
well beloved Brother,
Unto the eternal shadow that girdS

Into the infinite silence wherewith

Thou hast gone forth beloved: and

That thou hast left life's shadows
and dost possess the deep"

Canadian boundary line on the north.
This was twenty years ago. Minnesota
and the two Dakotas were then settling
up rapidly. immigration poured in from
all parts of the country. Besides, the

Mr. Hill controlled the only railroad

AS the country became productive its
carrying capacity grew, and in laeet
years it's carrying capacity became
immense. Branches were extended to
different hamlets and towns that wa
ranted the expenditure, and finally the,
Great Northern was built to the PaciR,,
ocean, paralleling the Northern Pacific.
And it was built without any govern
ment subsidy and at a less cost per mile
than any other railroad in the history
of the United States. The greater part
Of the money came from the earnings
Of the Manitoba line, though the bonds
of the Great Northern were mainly n. at

John Will Get his Gun,

Last Friday Governor Toole made his
staff appointments. On the list is the
name Of our fellow townsman, John A..
Luce, who has been appointed inspector
of rifle practice. The governor could
not have chosen a more suitable man
for the position on his staff. If there is
one thing mode than another friend John
is an expert at, it is in shooting hot shot
into the jury and the enemys camp.
His aim is sure and he never misses an
opportunity, and while we are not aware
that Colonel Luce has carried off any
trophies with the rifle, or whether he
really knows the difference between a
rifle and rain-barrel, yet his past
record in his own particular line GER
tainly entities him to the confidence the
chief executive Of Montana has seen fit
to place in him.-Gallatin County Re-

Little Racky lakes and also in a smaller
lake situated between these two. These
fish are thriving and last fall were re,

1t is rather strange fact that none
Of the lakes about the divide are natu-
rally inhabited by fish. But the trout
seems to thrive therein, and If the
sportsmen Of the country will co-operat.
in the matter it will only be a few years
before these lakes will all provide the
finest fishing in the world. 1t is neces-
sary however in order that the lakes
may become we'll and permanently
stocked. that they be undisturbed until
next year at least. Then the trout will
be three years old, and will have multi
piled sufficiently to Withstand what
would otherwise mean their complete
determination. Any other lakes that
may be thus stocked should not be fishel
in for at least three years.
Residents of Carbon county, many o.
them, do not seem to realize what
wealth of attraction this county has In
the beautiful lakes which serenely lie in
sheltered mountain hooks like pearls
dropped from the mighty crown of The
world-builder Hipself. Properly cared
for. these many mountain lakes and
streams will be an. unending source of
pleasure to the residents of the county
and will cause many a dollar to be
dropped into the channels of trade by
those who come from distance in
search of scenery and rare sport. The
proposition to found a fish hatchery near
Red Lodge should be taken up with a
will and every influence brought to bear
to accomplish it.-Red Lodge Picket.

State Lands.

The state board of land commissioners
is experiencing no end of trouble over
the land leasing problem. There are two
or even three sides to this question, and
each has more or less merit. It seems to
be an almost impossible task to decide
on any definite policy without doing an
injustice to some interests in the state.
1t seems to the Examiner however, that
the interests of the public schools and
the state institutions for whose support
hte grants were given by congress should
receive at least the same consideration
as the demands and claims of parties in
terested in securing control of these
lands. either by lease or purchase.-Dil-
