On many of the stock farms of
the west the land has become too
rich to produce profitable crop of
small grain, the straw growing So
heavy that the crop is lodged by tho
wind and never fills and ripens. The
remedy for this difficulty was the
subject of discussion at farmers
institute lately. A crop of flax to
precede the small grain was agreed
upon as cure for this trouble.

Pekin, March 2S.-The Manchurian
treaty, modified as to the fourth, fifth
and eighth articles by Russia, was
handed on March Is to the Chinese
minister at st. Petersburg for sigma
ture within two weeks. Later the
sixth article was expunged. The treaty
has been finally rejected by the Chi
nese government, whose reply, on the
expiration of the limit of time for
signing, was received here Tuesday
from Sian Flu.
Refuses TO Assent
This reply states that the govern
ment refuses to assent to the cOnven-
ton. 1t is reported that Viceroys Liu
Kun vi and Chang Chin Tung memorial
Eed the emperor, praying him to re-
sist to the utmost treaty alliance
with Russia. 1t Is also reported that
great pressure is still brought to bear
on the Chinese plenipotentiaries. 1t
is said that the court has instructed
Ii Hung Chang to inform the minis
tiers and vicerOys that China has re-
fused to sign the Manchurian cOnven-
ton. 1t is further asserted that the
court seriously contemplates a remOv-

Murder of Rev. Stonehouse.
The ministers of the powers do not
consider that the murder of Rev. ].
Stonehouse of the London Missionary
society, who was killed by Chinese
rigands fourteen miles east of Tien-
tsin, recently, affects the Chinese sit
uation politically. They are perfectly
aware that the country around Shi-
Nan is infested with robbers, who are,
naturally, hostile to foreigners, and
would take such an opportunity, as In
the present case, to kill one. Mr..
ROckhill, the special commissioner Of
the United States, says he does not
consider it safe for people to travel
alone in the country districts, and
guards can not be supplied to the mis-
sionaries.
Policed by Foreign Troops.
Consequently those going into the
country take considerable risk. The
district in which the murder was COM
mitted is policed by foreign troops.
Therefore, China is not officially re-
spOnsible. The foreign troops prac-
tically Quilted Shi-Nan of everything
worth taking, and the people there are
indignant against all foreigners. The
missionaries attribute the murder-to
the leniency of the powers toward
China, which makes them seem to be
afraid. The ministers have many diff
ferent views on the indemnity ques-
ton, which may result in considerable
delay in the negotiations on that sub
ject

-Four years ago Mckinley and Hobart
were inaugurated. At that time the
whole county was suffering from a de-
preston profound that industry was
paralyzed, but behind Mckinley was the
hope and confidence of the nation. And
though the factories were closed. the
railroads in the hands of receivers and
the treasury empty. that confidence was
strong. Events soon demonstrated that
it had not been replaced. The applica
ton of republican policies soon revived
all the industries and an era of un-
paralleled prosperity set in. Questions
of tremendous Importance arose but the
ability of the man chosen by the people
was equal to every emergency. A great
war was forced upon us, and in spite
of the carpings of enemies at home. was
fought TO n successful issue, adding
glory to our arms and prestige to the
flag. So sound was the craftsmanship
of Mckinley that the dire predictions
of his enemies failed and every promise
of the party was more than fulfilled.
Today all factories are working and
paying increased wages: the railroads
are taxed to the utmost to accommodate
the immense volume of business: new
industries are being inaugurated every
where, and the revolution from the eff
feet of democratic policies is complete.
Today Mckinley and Roosevelt We're
inaugurated and all citizens feel as
sured of one of the strongest admins

vicious measures that has been intro
duced at this session of the legislature.
1t is designed to replace the present law
hich provides that county officers
must purchase their blank books. sta
tlonery and other supplies of that ma
ture in the state. The bill referred to
would practically require them to pur-
chase these supplies outside of Montana.
There are in this state a number of
excellent printing plants and binderies,
but it is freely confessed that they cam
not do work as cheaply as it can be done
in Iowa and in some OF the larger east
ern cities. Why? Because the scale Of
wages in Montana, in every line, is
higher than in these eastern cities. The
orkmen are paid more because, as
everyone knows, the cost of living is
higher here. The profits of the manu-
lecturers, of the men who have estao-
lshed these home industries, are how
ever, no greater than in the east. We
cannot compete with the cheap labor of
the east, and in this, the industries re-
fcrred to stand in the same position as
OF her industries throughout the state,
If such a policy as is contained in sem
ate bill No Ill, We're applied generally,
1t would abolish all industries in Mon
t;na.
The bill is without a redeeming feature
and no man who takes a broad view OF
the situation can look upon it with
