BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
There's No Uncertainty.

To the good people of Livingston the
Post today takes great pleasure in trans
hitting the news that there is no uncer-
tainty concerning the erection of the new
shops Of the Northern Pacific at this
point. There has been none since the
shops We're authorized by President Mel
len. but the apparent listlessness Of the
situation has served to shake the conf
dence Of some of the people of the town.
The absence of developments visible to
the eyes Of the people is not strange. The
work Of laying out plans and getting
the proposition in shape for contractors
to make their bids has all been done
in the general offices at st. Paul and
it is natural enough that we in Living
ston should know nothing about it. See
ing no active operation about the site
of the new building. some citizens OF
Livingston have been pessimistic enough
to say that they did not believe the shops
would be built at all.-Livingston Post

It's a Good State.

Citizens of Montana nave been inclined
to criticise and grumble because of the
cool weather of the last two weeks. If
they will turn their attention to the in
flictions of the people of some other Sec
tons they will come to the conclusion
that their lines are cast in pleasant
places. In Colorado have occurred snow
and hail storms which will be followed
by damaging foods. In Chicago many
people have died or been Frustrated by
the intense heat. while Minnesota, Ne

mark a reduction in almost all lines.

Present no mystery
They can't elucidate and make
AS plain as A, B, c.

Can get respite blest.

And let the old man rest.
