GARNER WILL GET ALONG.

Rocky Mountain News: Readers of
market reports-and the vast major
ity of business men and women read
market reports-have noticed for sew
eral days that the quotations on
wheat, corn and oats in Chicago are
either stationary or lower as COM
pared with the "hot wave period.
Indeed, the visible supply, as publish
ed each week by several agencies,
may be cited 10 show that America
will have grain for export. Some
twenty French vessels, sailing under
the bounty law, are at present enroute
for Pacific coast ports to be loaded
with wheat for Europe, and there will
be cargoes and to spare for all Of
them.
1t is a year of compensation for
farmers. What he loses in one di-
rection he more than makes up in an
other. While present indications go
to show that there will be only two
thirds Of corn crop, it is reasonably
certain that the wheat crop will ag-
gregate larger than ever before in
the history of American agriculture.
The drouth struck the west Just as
the winter wheat crop was being har-
vested and while it worked disaster
to the corr crop it nevertheless
brought ideal conditions for wheat
harvesting. Throughout the drouth-
stricken territory practically the en-
tire crop of winter wheat has been
| gathered in almost perfect condition.
Threshing reports prove the quality
better than ever before.
Reliable authorities, whose business
it is to be thoroughly posted, declare
that Kansas has harvested a crop of
LOG, 900, 900 bushels of winter wheat,
by far the largest crop ever grown.
Missouri and Nebraska come forward
with $4,000, 900 bushels, and 40, 200, 900
bushels respectively. Oklahoma will
show a total of $4,000. 900 bushels-a
pretty good showing for a territory
which was never titled prior to- 1890.
The total winter wheat crop of the
country will amount to 425, 900, 900
bushels. To this must be added the
spring wheat yield. Reports from
Minnesota and North Dakota, the two
great spring wheat states, go to show
that the harvest will equal the best
records yet made. The estimates of
the spring wheat crop, the harvest Of
which is soon to begin, indicate a total
OF 300, 000, 1000 bushels. II the results
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-08-30

are as expected the wheat crop for
the present year will reach 725,OOO,-
900 bushels. The highest previous
record-that for 1s9S-was 10000
900.
There will be no resort this year
to mortgages on the farms and the
losses in feeding stock will not be
severe, as recent rains have enabled
farmers to plant late fodder. The
high price of potatoes means q finan-
cial lift for farmers who have them,
as the change from this vegetable
to bread, cornpones or any other sub
stitutes will not be made in a hurry.

CALLING UP DONOVAN.

The Independents gentlemanly and
courteous references to its country
contemporaries who do not share it's
W estimate of the attorney general,
do not alter the opinion entertained
by them in reference to that official,
neither do they tend to exalt the
Independent in the estimation Of
those who believe that courtesy
should be no less a distinguishing
mark of a newspaper than of a gen
tleman. All newspapers cannot es-
tablish labial connection with the
teat appended to the state treasury,
consequently all cannot afford the
magnificence of dimensions possess
ed by the Independent or maintain
on thei stats men whose vanity
prompts them to sign %socialistic and
anarchistic screeds from their pens.
The Gazette may appear as a ''2x4
paper in the eyes of the magnificent
Independent, but Notwithstanding it's
diminitive proportions it dares to
raise it's voice in behalf of the en-
forcement of all the laws and will
continue to condemn the attorney
general for his methods of making
flesh of one and fish of the other.
If it is wrong to shake dice for cigars
it is no less wrong for two men to
engage in a fight for money. The
laws of the state are in very plain
language, although the able attorney
general and his valiant defender may
not be able to understand it. The
Gazette is not opposed to the enforce
ment of the anti-gambling law, not
withstanding the Independents asser.
lions to the contrary. The Gazette
demands that all laws be enforced and
for that reason has repeatedly called
the attention of the attorney general
to the manner in which at least one
law has been VIGOROUSLY and flag
rantly violated. 1t is true that Mr..
Donovan made no promise to act as
county attorney for every county in
the state, for which fact no doubt
many counties are truly grateful, as
it prevented the necessity for a de-
clination of the preferred services, but
in his capacity as the states counsel
he has been fit to order county attor-
neys to enforce one particular law
while totally ignoring the existence
of another and equally important
law that he knew was being violated.
efforts in the direction of drawing
attention to himself he went so far
as to institute proceedings for NAL
feasance against n county attorney
and sheriff because they did not mani
fest the zeal expected of them in the
movement institu+ d FOR the slorifi-
cation of the name f Donovan. If
the attorney general desires to es-
tablish a reputation "a a fearless and
successful enforcer of the laws of the
state he must amend his course and
show himself to be free of bias and
prejudice and prompted solely by a
wish to do his full duty. Simply be
cause he says a prize fight is merely
a friendly exercise engaged in by
a couple of men does not make it SO,
neither does it change the law nor
relieve him from the responsibility Ct
seeing that hat law is properly en-
forced. If county attorneys can be
made to enforce the gambling law
they a also be compelled to enforce
other laws.

EDUCATION in THE PHILIPPINES.

I'm I'll PHIEIPPINES
Minneapolis Journal: The report
Of Professor Atkinson, the superin-
tendent of public instruction in the
Philippines, for the last fiscal year,
is n of the most encouraging Of the
public documents which have been is
sued relating to- the insular posses
sions. The reports of. educational pro-
gress in Porto Rico and the effective
introduction of our system in Cuba
are full of matter for congratulation,
but the populations Of these islands
are more homogeneous, while the
Philippines present peculiar clinical
features.
Since Professor Atkinson has been
IN duty he has districted the archi-
pelago into eighteen divisions, each
under charge of a division s~uperin-
tendent. The school accommodations
are of course entirely inadequate, the
buildings being generally very poor
and u~nattractive and the desire of
the people for education is SO great
that the rooms are o~vercrowded. This
is a matter which will be remedied in
time, and it is to be hoped in as short
a time as possible, for there should
be no stinting in the necessary ex-
penditures for education. The pro-
fessor proposes to introduce teachers
Institutes and other American fea-
lures at an early date and a high
school will be established in each
province next year. In Manila the
English language is to be used in
stead of Spanish as the medium of
instruction. The Philippine commits
sion has formally prohibited the intro
duction of religious teachings in the
public schools and the decision has
been readily acquiesced in by parents
and teachers. No "Faribault PLAN
has been resorted to and no diminu-
ton in attendance has resulted and it
is likely that the popular satisfaction
with the arrangement will continue.
The public schools, as organized UNI
der American auspices, will be SO
very much better in every respect
than the religious schools hitherto in
use in the archipelago, that they will
always be popular and there will be
ample opportunity for religious in
struction by religious bodies who have
enterprise enough to undertake it.
1t would seem that, even the most
inveterate anti-expansionist would not
object to the educational phase Of
American occupationof the Philippines
but there are democratic journals like
the Cincinnati Enquirer who are still
calling upon the government to scut-
tie out of the islands and abandon
the people to their fate. They do not
want the natives to experience the
advantages of American institutions.
They do not want them educated or
brought into the grace Of the higher
civilization. The Bourbons, who re-
fuse to keep up with the procession
and who try to obstruct the march
Of civilization and dwarf this nation
to unspeakable individualism will
falter and stagger in their own
tracks.

FARMING IN
Yellowstone Valley Receives Splendid
Advertisement in East.

A recent issue Of the Chicago Inter
Ocean contains a very readable and
highly interesting article from w. M.
Woodbridge Of Hinsdale, in which are
shown some of the inducements held
out by Montana to those in quest of
lands for farming purposes. The ar
ticle was brought out as a reply to
an editorial which the Inter Ocean
published in relation to the opening
of the Kiowa reservation in Okla
homa and which was headed "The
Last Chance for Free Homes Mr..
Woodbridge shows the Inter Ocean its
mistake by referring to the many
thousands of acres of ~unoccupied
public lands which still remain in
this state alone and which need only
irrigation to make them the equal in
productiveness Of any in the world.
AS showing what. can be done with ir-
rigation he cites the case of the terri
tory Immediately tributary to Billings
as an instance of agricultural posi-
bilities in Montana. After giving the
history Of the settlement Of the land
Mr.. Woodbridge continues as follows:
Fifteen years ago this land produc-
ed nothing but the short range grass;
during the year 1900 the products
and value created by irrigation were
as follows: 10000 acres irrigated
land at $50 per acre. S. ,8OO,OO0; $780,
900 sheep, wintered on farms, at SO
per head, $750,O0O;. 10000 head of cat
tie on farms, $50 per head, 100000;
1000 horses on farms, $50 per head,
$4,000; machinery, tools, ETC., $175,-
900; main line canal. $250,0OO; total,
1886, 600.
In addition, this same land pro-
duces annually 100000 tons of alfalfa
at 81 per ton, $4O0, 900; 10000 tons
timothy and blue joint at $40, $780,
900; 400,0 900 bushels of grain at SO
cents per bushel, 100000; vegetables
and other truck, $4,000; total pro-
duced annually, $3.50, 600. This does
not include increase and sales from
stock, which for the year is 100000,
showing a grand total of over $4,000,
900 available assets, not counting
$4,000, 900, assessed value of the city
Of Billings, supported mainly by the
valley-and all this was 1S years ago
a barren waste.
Further along in his article Mr..
Woodbridge says:
"Any Montana farmer who does not
realize $40 above the cost of produc-
ing an acre of grain does not con-
slider that he has a fair crop; how
many of the best improved farms of
the agricultural east will pay three
per cent above maintenance and cost
of production, allowing farm hand
wages for the farmer during the sea-
son?
at is a difficult matter to properly
estimate the value of an acre of irri-
gated land; if we use the means of
determining it's value that the east
does in determining the value of their
agricultural land, the result would be
astonishing. There is one fact, and
that is that the western farmer in
sists upon it's returning him a good
large revenue ove and above the
cost OF producing the crop; his stand
ards are high, he exacts tribute from
every foot titled. a mere living will
not satisfy him."
