THE BASIS or THEIR TNTH.

Elsewhere will be found a communi-
cation from T. Il. IIinsdale of Helena,
calling attention To an editorial which
appeared in the ARGUS several weeks
ago headed, Christian Science Philos-
ophy." We gladly give Mr.. Hinsdalc
space for n brief explanation. THERE'S
nothing quite AS Improbable and end
less ms a discussion of religious faith,
as its truth or falsity is something
quite difficult of demonstration, hence
we have no intention of entering into
a discussion of Christian Science. We
agree with Mr.. IIinsdale that the world
is progressing and that many old be-
liefs are losing some of their former adj
herents. But we have no sympathy
with those who reject the old dogmas
because they do otappcal to their rca-
son and then accept something far more
absurd and illogical, Accepting Mr..
Hinsdalc's statement as to progression
in religious thought 1t is safe to say
that IL Christian Science is hut a pass

FAIR POSTPONED.

AS will be seen elsewhere the man
ayers of the fair association have post
poned the date for the meeting until
September %, 90 and 81. This action
has been made necessary owing to the
difficulty in securing horses and other
attractions for the earlier dates. II is
thought that after the meetings at
Billings, Big Timber and Great Falls
horsemef can be induced to bring some
of their racers here. The people of
Fergus county can rest assured that
every possible effort has been made to
interest outside horsemen and secure
attractions for the coming fair, but
have been disappointed in nearly every
instance owing to the long distance and
absence of railroad facilities. Every
effort will be made to give the exhibi.
ton on the later dates, and il is the aim
of the association to present a program
that will please all who attend.
With good crops and the people of
the county generally prosperous there
was every indication Of a large attend.
ance at this years exhibition and il is
to be regretted that the great distance
from the railroad prevented the secur-
ing of attractions. But there is every
promise that this obstacle will be re.
moved in another year, when horscmen,
theatrical troups and other drawing
features al be obtained with much
less effort.

1t would seem that the paper mill
which was to fill n ''long felt want in
Montana has gone glimmering. This
scheme was projected several years ago
by Henry Altenbrand and organized
under the name of the Montana Pulp Il
Paper company, a number of Montana
capitalists being induced to take stock
in the enterprise. 1t is said Mr.. Al
tenbrand. with the money furnished
him, built one of the best equipped
paper mills in the west, his idea being
To use the Gallain valley barley straw,
which he considered the finest straw in
the world for the purpose. 1t was ex.
pected the company would do a thriv-
ing business in the state owing to the
long haul and heavy rates on paper,
and il is said the mill actually started
up when it suddenly stopped and not a
wheel has turned since. According Ia
report lit was found that the market
was HullIcu anu Tie MIL several
decades in advance of the needs of the
state. The raw product was not wha,
it was at first thought to be, labor and
fuel were high, and the project appar
emily fell to the ground of its own
weight" Now comes the Clark bank
of Butte in a suit to recover 81 900 sub.
scribed for stock on the condition ifthC
bank was dissatisfied with the deal IL
would get its money back with interest
at the rate of ten per cent from the time
the money was paid. Although the
collapse of this enterprise is a matter
of regret it is tangible evidence that
there is very little that car be done in
Montana in the line OF manufacture
until conditions have undergone a great
change from what they are at present.

natural power?


Possibly the belief Of the Christian
Scientists has been misstated, but it is
known through personal acquaintance
that it is held that there is no fatigue,
that suffering is not real and that the
sick can be healed through faith.
There is no question but the will ex.
e%rcises great influence in restoring tn,
sick in many instances. Buff miracle:
car be worked through faith then we
can expect the blind to see, the deaf to
hear, the lame to walk, eyes and limbs
restored and possibly the raising ofthe
dead. As Of old the people ask for ''somc
sign" Cures of nervous prostratior
will convince no mi that Christian
Science will ever take the place of doc
tors in healing the sick whatever mer,
its the new doctrine may have in Other

When the suggestion for leasing gov
eminent lands was before the people
Senator Gibson very properly opposed
such a scheme. But his proposition to
repeal all laws for acquiring land save
the homestead law would have a tend
ency to bring this means of realizing
from the public lands strongly to the
front IL the lands are TO be held in
trust until redeemed or reclaimed by
irrigation the government would not
be realizing anything and might just as
well do so by rentals for a term Of
years. This would not be a good thing
for the state, but it would be better
than nothing and finally might result
in perpetual leases, rs the chances are
much of the land would never be re-
claimed.
