GOOD WORK FOR
THE PAST YEAR
Catholic Ladies Aid Society
Has Done Much for
the Poor.

AT the annual meeting of the Catho-
lie Ladies Aid Society, the work done
by this society was shown in the re-
ports submitted by it's different Off
GERS. Many demands have been made,
which have taxed the resources of the
society. The members have not been
lax in their efforts; they have tried
hard to meet the obligations placed
upon them, and feel, after a years ar
duous duties some good has been ac-
compIished. The work in detail was
thus reported:

MASCULINE PREPoNDERANcE.
Twenty-four Extra Males in Every One
Thousand Of the Population,


Whatever differences Dame Nature
may have intended between the
spheres of influence Of men and wo-
men, she evidently intended that num-
erically at least the two sexes should
stand on nearly the same footing. The
world over, except where recognize BILE,
and what might be called artificial
causes interfere, the male and female
elements of the population are about
equal.
At first sight, perhaps, this may not
seem at all remarkable But it is to
be remembered that in many families
large ones, too-the great majority of
the children are of one sex or the other.
And one should not be surprised If the
aggregate effect of this lopsidedness
were to produce a considerable excess
of men or women in a nation. The
fact that such is not the case, then,
shows that there is some potent and
mysterious law of compensation. at
work upon the race as a whole. And
this law operates upon many of the
animals as well as men. On t:m farm
it is found convenient to preserve
great predominance of one sex over
the other in cattle and chickens. The
bull calf Is predestined from his birth
to conversion into veal, and a similarly
stern fate consigns the superfluous
cockerel to the gridiron or chicken pie
at a tender age. But, so far as the nat
ural increase is concerned among cat
tie and poultry, an approximately even
balance is preserved. -
Curiosity, not to say establishment, is
excited, therefore, by recent an
of the census bureau. The
of 1900 shows that there
are more men and boys than women

government it is given sections 10 ana
So in every township for the beneht OF
the school fund. This coml rises one
eighteenth of the area of Montana. IN
addition to the school grant there are
half dozen institution grants wnicn az
gregate about .0c0 acres.
If the state of Montana was surveyed
and the lines run in every township the
state would possess in the neigli'borhood
of $500, 600 acres of land. Much OF TINS
land, however, is in the mountains ana
never vii have any value. great deal
of it is wild and broken and has but little
value.
Price of Grazing Land Prohibitive.
The last report of the state land regis
ter shows that there are 100000 acres
of state land under lease. While Mr..
Long has not compiled figures upon the
subject, he believes the state has about
one-half of its available land under
lease. OF the 100000 acres that the
state would own if every township was
surveyed. probably one-third would prove
to be land of little or no value. The
showing of nearly a million and a half
acres under lease is regarded as good
one.
Discussing the matter today Mr.. Long
said that those who objected TO the SAFE
of state lands need have no misgivings,
because numerous sales are to be held
next year. The high price fixed by the
enabling act makes the sale of grazing
lands prohibitive. No objection is raised
to the sale of fertile agricultural lands,
as the land brings all it is worth and
assists in the settlement of the state.
The sale of agricultural lands by the
state during the last year has ranged
from $40 per acre to SIS per acre.
Agricultural land is being picked up
and next year will see a largely increas-
ed revenue from the sale of agricultural
lands and the leasing of additional Sec
lions of grazing lands.

GRATIFYING INCREASE OF REEVE
NUE. SHOWN FOR THE YEAR.
AGENTS AT COUNTY SEATS
Expected That the Revenue From Sale
and Lease of Lands Will Be
Much Larger Next
Year.
Especial to Inter Mountai. :

Helena, Dec. 21.-State Register T. D.
Long is mapping out his plans for next
year which include a land sale in every
county in Montana. During the next
year at least two sales will be held twice
month in different parts of the state
and an effort made to sell all the land
possible that will come above the $40
limit.
The state, by virtue of a special provis-
ion in the enabling act, is not permitted
to sell any of its land for less than $40
per acre. This precludes the sale of any
grazing land, as land of that character
Is scarcely worth half that amount, and
at the same time throws into the hands
OF the settler the good agricultural land.
The receipts of the state land office
during the last II months have been
$4,000 more than the year previous. Mr..
Long is determined that next years rec
ord shall be still better, and to this end
he is planning to sell all the saleable
land and lease much larger acreage
than is now under lease.
Land Agents at County Seats.
At the sales land offered upon which
no bids above $40 is received will be
offered for lease and undoubtedly a very
large acreage will be leased to cattle
men and others.
Another new departure is to be in
stituted by the state in the appointment
Of land agents at every county seat.
These men will look after state lands
They will, it is believed, be able to lease
for the state much more land than could
be handled through the usual channels
At Dillon Mr.. Long has appointed L. j.
Price and George r. Metlen, and at Red
Lodge, E. E. Esse.steyn and George
Pierson, to look after the state lands
in their respective sections. Similar APP
pointments will be made by Mr.. Long for
every county in the state soon after the
first of the year.
Another advantage that will be gained
through the commissioning Of agents in
every county will be that persons who
are occupying state lands without pay
ing rent, or without right of ownership.
will be made to make just return to the
state for the privileges enjoyed.

BUSINESS MEN DISCUSS
FIRE LIMITS EXTENSION

a new danger to the safety of the City
was brought out in the meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday after
noon This is the presence of the great
lumber yards which are established in
the heart of the business section and
which were characterized yesterday as
being menace to property by day and
by night. If the proposed new bounda-
ries of the fire limits as outlined by the
Board Of Underwriters are accepted by
the Chamber of Commerce and finally
adopted by the Legislature and the Gov
ernor, the large lumber yards will have
to be moved elsewhere, as they are a
fire risk which few insurance companies
care to have in the imme44ate vicinity of
insured premises.
Yesterdays meeting was called for
o'clock. AT that hour and for nearly
fifteen minutes afterwards the only men,
oers of the Chamber present were the
president and secretary and a certain
three or four who can always be depend
ed upon to be present when the secre-
tary sends for them. Secretary James
q. Spencer spent much of the time be-
tween o'clock and 2:30 in calling up
business men and urging them to be
present. Most of them replied that 1t
was steamer day. and begged to be ex-
cused. At half past two the following
members were present, making a quor-
um: w. F. Allen, president: James G..
Spencer. secretary; F. A. Schaefer, w.

The secretary read the call issued Sat-
urday, which was in effect to consider
the extension of the fire limits, as sug-
gested by the Board of Underwriters.
The call read that at a meeting of the
Board of Underwriters held on Friday
last, after full discussion the Board rec
commended that action be taken by the
chamber Of Commerce in the extension
OF the limits while the Legislature was
IN session. The limits proposed are to
include that part OF Honolulu bounded
as follows: By the waterfront, thence

BOB GAINS
HIS PO|NT
Organizes Hybrid
Republican
Party.
THE LOCAL PARTY
NOT RECOGNIZED
New Organization Called Inde.
pendent Home Rule Republic
an and is Out for Spoils.

Bob Wilcox carried his point last
night at the meeting Of the Home Rule
party, in securing vote Of thirty one
to seven in favor of changing the name
of the outfit to the Independent Home
Rule Republican party, the name being
taken for the purpose Of afiiiiating
with the Republicans at Washington,
but with the distinct proviso being
made that the organization is to have
absolutely nothing to do with local
Republicans, or with the Republican
party of these Islands.
Mr.. Wilcox exercised his eloquence
and diplomatic instinct with great ef-
feet at the meeting. The members
gathered at Foster Hall at 7:30 o'clock,
there being about 200 present, among
them the members of both houses of
the Legislature, and delegates from the
different country districts. Wilcox
opened his speech by saying that as
the party had sent him to Washington
he wished to explain TO them the best
policy of proceeding there, which he
was in a position to do because Of his
recent experiences and observations in
the capitol city: this policy was to
send him. not as q representative OF
the Independent Home Rule party. but
as a representative nf the Home Rule
Republican party. This. he explained
was necessary to the achievement OF
influence and of the desired ends III

/ a point eighty feet beyond Richards
! street and thence to the waterfront. The
Board Of Underwriters request was sign
! ed by A. r. Gurley, secretary. A map
was exhibited showing the proposed ex-
tension beyond that proposed by the
Government after the Chinatown fire.
j. B. Atherton said this was a matter
! of great Importance to the City, and he
thought it was a pity that, whereas the
call was signed by five members of the
! Chamber of Commerce, not one of them
should be present at the meeting. Had
they been present it would have given
the Chamber enough weight by represent
tation for them to consider the impor-
tant matter in hand. In order to bring
the subject more clearly to the atten-
ton of the members present, Mr.. Ather-
ton presented a resolution in which the
boundaries outlined by the Board of Un-
derwriters were favorably considered,
and he urged the Chamber OF Commerce
| to adopt the resolution. The resolution
was seconded by Henry Waterhouse. Mr..
Atherton explained that the adoption Of
| the resolution meant that a new bill
would have to be prepared for introduc-
| ton in the Legislature.
Mr.. Giffard said the matter was very
| important one, and before taking any
definite action on the resolution he
thought a larger representation of the
Chamber should be secured.
President Allen said that according to
the boundaries proposed the lumber men
would have to move their yards out to
! other places. Mr.. Giffard said the busi-
ness houses were in jeopardy day and
night by the close proximity of the
yards. and this matter would have to be
considered as we'll Personally, he pre-
ferred that a postponement be taken, or
that the matter be put in the hands OF a
committee for report.
| Mr. Dowsett said that postponements
would clip off much valuable time. as
| the Legislature had but a few days more
| to run. Mr.. Isenberg was of the same
| opinion. Mr.. Schaefer suggested that
action on the matter be deferred until
this afternoon at o'clock and an effort
made to secure larger representation.
| President Allen announced that the
meeting was adjourned until afternoon
at the hour designated. A special re-
quest is made both by President Allen
and Secretary Spencer that the meeting
! this afternoon be attended by as many
of the members of the Chamber of Com
merce as possible.

OFFICIAL REPORT UPON THE
PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO

WASHINGTON, April 9.-An explicit
statement giving the exact conditions re-
garding bubonic plague in San Francis
co has been prepared for the Official
Public Health Bulletin. A table is given
showing that there were ten deaths from
bubonic plague in San Francisco between
January 1 and March Is.
Continuing, the statement says: of
the cases, those reported in February,
six cases and deaths between February 5
and L were reported by a special COM
mission appointed by the Secretary OF
the Treasury to examine into the plague
situation in San Francisco. This COM
mission consisted of Prof. Simon Flex-
ner. of the University of Pennsylvania,
chairman; Prof. F. G. Novy. of the Uni
versity of Michigan, and Prof. l.. S. Bar
ker, Of the University of Chicago, record
er.
Plague has been reported In San
Francisco officially in the public health
reports since March 6, 1900, thirty-two
and published in previous numbers of
the public health reports, and the facts
were reported in the annual report to
Congress of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. dated December 4, 1870.
While the correctness Of the diagnosis
has never been doubted by the Bureau or
the Department it was deemed advisable
to summon an independent board of ex-
perts, composed as above mentioned. On
the completion of their labors, the re-
suits of their investigations, as outlined
ahnVa iDmpCli2rRlV communicates
by them to the Governor of California
and the Mayor and representatives of
the business interests of San Francisco,
and full copies of the report subsequent
ly furnished. Coincident with the re-
ceipt of the report of the commission at
the Bureau, a committee representing the
business interests of San Francisco and
the Mayor and the Governor of Califor-
MIA arrived in Washington, and con-

ference was held between this committee
and the Secretary of the Treasury and
Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital
Service, in which conference all the facts
were discussed and a written agreement
made for harmonious action in suppress
sfve measures under the advice of Sur
geon j. H. White, who is on the ground.
"Cn the return of this committee to
San Francisco, Surgeon White wired, on
March p, that they had agreed to raise
funds for immediate work as follows:
Disinfect all infected houses, provide hos
pitals for suspects, detention houses
and, morgue; the general disinfectto1 Of
Chinatown, with betterment of light and
air space. Subsequent kilograms snow
that the work is being organized.
The disease has been confined almost
exclusively to the Chinese and an exarai-
nation of the mortuary records of the
latter for the past four years shows that
there has been no time during that ne-
Rod when 1t has increased to such in ex.
telt as to, in itself, cause alarm.
The prevailing type, SO far as Knowr,
IS of the bubonic form, which, accor ling
to NJ. de Brun, is of a mildly contagious
character, but 1t is undetermined now
soon these cases may give rise 20 cases
of a graver and more contagious form
of the disease, which emphasizes the
necessity of prompt and thorough meas
ures to eradicate every form of the dis
ease"
The steady onward march of bubonic
plague into ports of the world where it
never existed before and where experts
believed it could not thrive has been not
ed in nearly every weekly issue Of the
Public Health Bulletin for the last two
years. News has come within the last
day or two that the plague has at last
invaded Australia. 1t was introduced
there from South Africa, according to
an official report to the German Govern
ment One fatal case of the disease ap-
peared at Sydney, New South Wales. on
a ship that went there to embark fresh
Australian troops for the British army

req near Brisbane. The plague continues
to spread in Cape Colony, South Africa.
