THE HORTICULTURAL MEETING

From all appearances the forth
coming meeting OF the State Horti-
cultural society in this city next week
will be notable in the history of such
gatherings in this state. The pro
gram which has been prepared will
be of great interest to all Montana
fruitgrowers and much good is Ger
tain to result from the interchange of
ideas and experiences which will take
place.
Meanwhile the people of this city
should leave no stone unturned to in.
sure a pleasant sojourn here to the
visitors. The Horticultural meeting
will be the first of state Importance
to be held here and 1t has been widely
advertised. It's proceedings will at
tract considerable attention from the
state press and the visitors will carry
away with them good or bad i'm
preston of this city, according to the
treatment they receive.
AS the Flathead country and Kalis-
pell become better known their adj.
vantages become more apparent, Ia
their consequent advantage. The nat
| ural beauty and resource of this sec
ton of Montana cannot be surpassed
and that fact is becoming a matter Of
widespread knowledge. The generous
hospitality of the citizens of Kalispel
is not so widely known, but the visit
ors at the forthcoming Horticulture
meeting will doubtless prove good
advertisers.

AN ABLE SPEAKER.

OF all the tantalizing things by which
we are beset
The man who makes an able" speech.
he is the toughest yet.
The people stand and whisper, BE as
quiet as you can;
You mustn't interrupt him. He's a
very able man."
And the boys get tired and wiggle,
And the girls all want to giggle.
And lose his chain of logic and go
drifting into doubt,
And my head in rhythm nodding
With his cadences goes plodding.
While | wonder what the mischief he
is hollering about
1t really must be most depressing
mental strain
For man to have an able" reputa-
ton to sustain
And know he dare not daily with an
anecdote or two
To keep us all from wishing he would
hurry through
And just as | was doing,
And in comfort am proposing
To yield my own opinions to this
wondrous able chap,
His monotone he changes
And through wild crescendos ranges
In series of explosions, just to jar
my little nap.

which has scarcely a hun 1red miles
of their tracks in the state reduced
the rate to three cents a mile some
weeks ago, the only opposition they
offer to the bill is directed against
the 200 pounds of baggage clause.
This clause has been amended so as
to conform to the $50 pounds allow
ance already in effect, and with that
amendment the bill will probably pass
1t is utterly useless to the people and
utterly harmless to the railroads. 1t
is a fusion gold brick. The legislature
might just as well pass law making
greenback legal tender ror all debts
public or private, except duties on
imports and interest on the public
debt. If the legislature wants to
pass laws merely for the sake of
having something to do besides cleo
ing United States senators it might
enact that the moon is made of green
cheese; that the sun spots cause earth
quakes; that Mars is inhabited and
that Heinze be canonized saint.
Meanwhile there is urgent demand
for legislation that will effect re-
duction in freight rates which are
outrageously high. 1t is proposed to
get at this by the Introduction of bill
which will never pass, creating a rail
way commission, who will ride on
passes, draw fat salaries, do as the
railroads want them 10 90, see only
what the railroads want them to see
and reduce freight rates if the rail
roads are willing.
After the railroads have of their own
notion decided to reduce charges SO
that the freight on ordinary articles
Will not exceed the purchase price j..
Chicago or St. Paul, the people of
Montana may expect the passage of a
law compelling the railroads to do
what they have already done, as in the
case of passenger rates. The fusion
legislators buncOed the people into
electing them and they are keeping
up the game by enacting laws as use
less as . buffalo overcoat in the in

From Anaconda Standard:
The speech of Mr.. Brown of Ohio
on Saturday in the house of represen
tatlVes, was something of a bomb
shell in the republican camp. If this
congressman from the Buckeye state
were "a democrat, we probably should
hear more or less talk about 'trea

promptly be characterized as an
"Aguinaldo worshiper," and fit sub

to Guam. We may hear these things
anyway. Senator Hoar was classed
as "copperhead" until it was known
that he was going to support McKin

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.
J. J. Hill Economizing in the Erie
MANAGEMENT.

The Chicago American has the fol
lowing anent j. } Hill! which makes
good reading in this section, where
the noted fnancier is known, says
the Great Falls Leader:
Scene in the main Office of the Erie
railroad, New York.
Enter James J. Hill, who having
bought Il great block of Erie stock,
was elected director Of Erie.
Mir. Hill sees four or five clerks in
a small cage. They are counting
money, making $500 packages of bank
notes, making rolls of coins, wrapping
them, marking on them their value.
Mr.. Hill (bluntly, to the head man
of the ottice)-What are those men
doing?
Head Man (tremulously)-C
ing money, sir.
Mr. Hill (brusquely)-Whatm money?
Head Man (huenuly)-Money that
mas come in today from other offices,
from railroad stations, from Ill
sources. 1t is being counted before
being sent to the bank.
Mr.. Hill (coldly)-Why doesn't the
bank count it?
Head Man (apologetically) The
bank objects to counting it; it takes
up their clerks time. So we count 1t
and send it to the bank, with a state
ment of the amount easily verified.
Mr.. Hill (emphatically) bank
objects, Ell? Well, I'll find a bank
that won't object to count it,
Result-The bank is gladly count
ing Fries deposits; four or five clerks
are gone from the cage and are look
ing for other positions.
Mr.. Hill and J. Pierpont Morgan,
one of the heaviest stockholders Of
the Erie railroad, are determined ID
cut off every penny of unnecessary
expenditure in the management of the
road.
Incidentally they are making their
stock more valuable, of course.
BY reducing salaries, by practicing
every conceivable economy, Hill and
Morgan hope to save at least $420,-
600
That amount would equal per cent
on Ere's first preferred stock and
| would look well added to net earn
ings" in the next annual report.
Mr.. Hill is the head master in the
Great Northern school, of railroad
management. Perhaps he is the
cleverest railroad operator in the
country. Fully in accord with Mr..
Hills purpose Mr.. Morgan has prom
Used to keep his hands off and let Mr..
Hill do what he pleases to economize
Fries finances.
Mr.. Morgan has sent to Mr.. Hill
an expert in reducing expenses, who
has been identified with the Northern
Pacific railroad. Mr.. Hill has with
him from the west his most accom-
plished pupil in the Great Northern

WHY RICE WAS DEPORTED.

The beauties of military rule in the
Philippines as it affects Americans
as well as Filipinos, are forcibly i'm
pressed by the reason given for the
recent deportation of Editor Rice, Of
the Manila Daily Bulletin. One of the
articles offensive to the high-minded
military gentlemen who caused the
Punishment of Mr.. Rice is given ut
length in the Minnesota Signal as fol
lows:
You are debarred from entering
the building by order of the captain
This is the verbal order received
yesterday afternoon from Mr.. Tay-
lor, chief clerk to the captain of the
port, by the editor Of the Daily Bull
letin. We are "debarred" from entering
the building Of the captain Of the port
on what grounds and with what are we
Charged? Yesterday morning tn
eullor was called into the Office of the
captain of the port and asked in a
round about way, to retract what he
said in the editorial of the issue dated
the 14th. Because we would not
crawl to the tune of the captain #
the port and refused to forsake the
truth, we are "debarred' from enter
ing that building indeed and un
der what monarchy were laws Of
such a nature instituted? Who owns
the building that man can be ord
cred out of for speaking the truth?
Surely a government of such boosted
freedom as ours would not issue such
an order. The Daily Bulletin is pub
lished for, and supported by the bust
ness men of Manila Therefore, if we
speak the truth and the truth makes
guilty ones uneasy, we speak it in the
interest of those from whom we gain
our support. The captain of the
port may have the almighty power
to order us out of the buildings in his
charge by the government but he has
not the power to stop us when we are
in the right. To quote from our last
editorial should necessity demand it
we will bear down on this question
several degrees harder, hard enough
in fact, to make some who have not
lived up to these regulations squeal.
The necessity is apparent and we
will be heard FROM
Evidently the military authorize

mistake of assuming that he would
have the same measure of liberty l,l
Manila as he would have in New Yorl;
Or any other American city. But
just imagine any newspaper in this
country being suppressed for threat
ening to expose official delinqencies
in any quarter. What a picnic it
would be for the public looters, high
and low, whose only restraint is the
fear of public exposure. When that
time comes in this country, if it ever
does, the government will have a re
bellion' on it's hands, compared te
which the Filipino protest against ag

DANCING
COURT TO SETTLE
TOWN ELECTION MIDDLE

The town of Petersham is in such a
muddle over it's selectmen that the
Supreme Court has been appealed to.
The Board Of Selectmen in that town
consists of three men. At the annual
ELECTION on March T. M. E. Hildreth and
j. H. Gaffney were reelected, but the
third member, who served the preced-
ing year, Zina H. Blackmer was tied
by Philip S. Gale, a new candidate.
In order to have a new vote for the
third place on the board, a special
election was held March is, resulting
in a second tie between Messrs. Black
mer and Gale
Mr. Gale and his supporters were
anxious for a third trial and accord
ingly made application to the Board
of Selectmen for another special cleo
ton. Selectman Hildreth was willing,
but Messrs. Blackmer and Gaffney re-
fused to call another meeting. The
only alternative then was to have 10
voters Of the town petition a Justice
of the Peace to call the meeting. which
was done. Beside Messrs. Blackmer
and Gale there was in the field at the
final election, Edwin c. Dexter, who
captured third place on the board and
has since been serving.
Mr.. Blackmer declares that the meet
ing called by the Justice of the Peace
at which Mr.. Dexter was elected was
illegal, and that he has the right to
remain in the Office Of Selectman as
a hold over" With this end in view he

UXbridge, Nov. S.-John Dunleavy,
whose horse was stolen from Mrs.
Daniel Holbrook's barn at South Tx
