Claim
Twenty five years ago land values at |
were much less than they |
Ire at present, and dividing lines were
much more loosely drawn. Since the
1alues have increased there lines are
much more closely drawn. The present
dispute is over the ownership of land
which came into the hands of the Mer

rship as now claimed by some have

Unfortunate Dash.

This is the way the editor of the
local paper wrote II, after the con-
vertion had been held and the can
didutes nominated:
"The ticket, without an exception,
is composed of excellent men for the
respective Offices for which they have
been named" *
And this is the way, through some
blunder of the compositor and con-
'riLutory negligence of the proof
reader, It appeared in print, to the
editors horror the next day:
"The ticket, without an exception,
is composed of excellent mentor
the respective Offices for which they
have been named"
One by one the candidates came to
see the editor and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION, and the unlucky dash cost
him several had quarters of an hour
before he finally succeeded In making
his peace.-Youth's Companion

THE RIVALS IN THE STREET.

All day In the street there's q tumble,
The people go hurrying past;
The proud and the careless and humble
AT many corner are massed,
And many a man in hurry
Goes lodging the trucks and the cars.
With no inclination to worry
Der the state Of Affairs on the stars
Each hopes to eclipse all the rest
Who are pushing and rushing
along.
And the weak and the timid are
Aside by the bold and the strong.
All day In the rush and the rattle
The contest continues. and ne'er
On the field OF the bloodless battle
Were rivals more willing to dare
Than are they that go wildly pursuing
The maddening dollar ali day.
Each ready to work the undoing
or any who stands In the way
Each hoping to pass all the rest
Who are pushing and stumbling
along,
Where the weak and the timid are
Aside by the bold and the strong.
Far away from the racket, the riot,
Two men are asleep and serene
Where only the birds break the quiet
That retgns Ger the howery scene
But lately as rivals they hurried
Where the proud and the humble con-
tend,
And each of them watched and was wor-
ried
Lest the other should win In the end
Each hoped to outstrip all the rest
That gal!oped or stumbled along
And the weak and the halt are still
pressed
Aside by the bold and the strong.

WOLFiNG AS A BUSINESS.

WOlFING As a BUSINESS.
The conviction is rapidly growing
among those who have to do with the
paying of bounties on stock destroying
animals that the state is being ':worll-
ed" by the professional wolfers, and
that these gentlemen are conducting
Their business more with an eye to the
future than with any idea of exterm-
mating the wolves and coyotes. In
short. they do not propose to kill sthe
goose that is laying the golden eggs,
and they are careful to do their kill
ing in such manner that the source
Of revenue shall not be shut off.
It has been noticeable with those
having to do with the paying of boun-
tie, that a surprising number Of pups
have been coming in lately and COM
paratiyely few grown animals. Stock
men explain this condition by assert
ing that the professional wolfers make
it 4 practice to kill only the pups.
allowing the old wolves to escape in
order that the crop may not be short
next year. 1t is said that these men
not only make no effort to catch the old
ones, but that if they do by accident
Catch one that they will let it go again.
or course such a practice means that
the voting business may go on indefi-
nately, furnishing lucrative employ
ment for the men engaged in it.
While this manner of cheating the
state may not be called crime it is
clearly criminal. The bounty law was
passed for the purpose of exterminat-
ing these animals, not for the purpose
Of furnishing livelihood for anyone,
and this practice is clearly a fraud on
the state. There seems but one means
Of stopping this little game, and that is
to make the bounty on pups much less
than the bounty on grown animals.
1t is also asserted that these profess
sional wolf hunters are killing animals
on the other side of the Canadian line
and presenting them in this state for
the bounty, and in this way the bounty
has been paid out to a great extent for
animals that were never on American
soil.
However that may be, it is true that
the bounty fund has been very quickly
diminished during the past few months.
Last January the state had something
like $4,000 in the bounty fund. Al
ready that has disappeared, and, even
counting the revenue for this year,
there is likely to be large deficit in
the fund at the beginning of next year.
If this had all been paid out for legiti-
mate destruction of wolves and COYOTES
the stockmen who supply the fund
would have no cause for complaint, but
if the state is being "worked" they
want some method taken to put a stop
to it.-Great Falls Tribune.

lie an arbitration committee to have

THE CABINET MEETING.
The Principal ssbjsst Diessssd Was That
Of Cabls 10 the Hawaiian and
Philipplns lslsndA.

Washington, Oct. 2-There were
five Of the eight members of the cabi-
net present at yesterdays meeting,
Attorney General Knox, Secretaries
Long, Hitchcock and Wilson and Post
master General Smith. The principal
subject discussed was that Of cable
to Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines.
Propositions have been made to lay
commercial cable from San Francis
co to connect these islands and the
question under discussion was
whether under the peace treaty with
Spain the United States could author
ize or in any way encourage the lay
ing of such cable by private parties.
Under a franchise obtained from
Spain some time before the late war
the exclusive right to cable connec-
tons with the Philippines was Sc
cured by foreign corporation. I'm
der the treaty Of Paris the United
States obligated itself to protect all
property rights in the archipelago
and the question now at issue is
whether permission to land the pro-
posed cable at Manila or some other
Philippine port would be violation
Of the terms of the Paris treaty.
The attorney general will prepare
statement for the president covering
all of the questions involved.

MINERS ENTOMBED.
tension Mine, Which Is to BE Sealed
70 Extingulsh Flames.

Naniamo, B. G., Oct. 2.-'rhe situa-
ton at Extension mine remains prac-
tically unchanged. Seventeen are
known to be entombed in No. 2 slope.
The mines are now sealed to pre-
vent the ingress of air and so
smother the flames. This is the only
possible way of killing the fire and
it will take months and perhaps
years to do so. Efforts have so far
failed to prevent certain amount of
air leaking in and this has. once or
twice, caused explosions which have
blown out the stoppings. Such an
explosion on large scale would Mt
terly wreck the mines and it is feared
that it may happen at any moment.
Premier Dunsmuir has promised
to find work for at least half of the
500 men who are thrown out Of en-
ployment. All except two of the
victims have families and relief funds
have been opened in their behalf. The
bodies, Of course, cannot be recovered
until the fire is extinguished.

s'NALLP0x AMONG INDIANS.


St. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 2.-Sheriff
Claggett, Of Mile Laos county, re-
ported to the state board Of health
yesterday a serious condition of af-
fairs about Mile Laos Smallpox Is
prevalent there, and there have been
several deaths. No attempt Is made
to regulate the disease, and the local
health authorities are powerless.
There are 500 Chippewas squatting
on the shores Of Mile Laos, on land
owned by a syndicate. The village
authorities Of Robins tried 10 keep
the Indians from circulating among
the farmers, and set guard over
them. The braves turned out In
force, armed, and made such DEM
cnstration that the guards went
home, leaving the Indians to roam
1t will. A clash between settlers and
Indians Ia possible at any time.
