being acquirable only in 100 acre
tracts, and partly to the excellent
climate. making it possible to grow
greater variety of tender crops
than grow in higher attitudes, which
husbandry requires more minute Ia
Dor and renders success easy with
a less land investment. There is a
region of small homes on the Milk
river, but all the east side country
will grow into land of larger indi-
vidual holdings than the western
slope, since the outlaying country is
less adequately supplied with water

Soldiers At the Home Won't Hav

Without dissenting vote the bill
repeating an act providing that the
pensioned inmates of the soldiers

pensions 10 that institution, was re

chamber when the measure was being

posed law.

I'VE do not desire to curtail the
pensions of the old soldiers" said
Judge Sloan. but we are of the
opinion that the effect of this bill
would be to interfere with the discip.
line of the home. The inmates get
all the money they really need. Il
is our experience that they do not

purpose. After lney get their pen.

A County of Great Promise.

The region of the Flathead lake
has great promise as an agricultural
region. 1t is country more like the
older states than any other portion Of
Montana. Being timbered regiOl
stockraising is carried on only in
small way and farmers generally de.
vote themselves to mixed husbandry.
The farmer has a fruit orchard, i
few cows. a few hogs, a few horses
and raises some hay, some grain, veg
etables, fruit, etc, and lives almost
entirely on home products. He even
keeps few stands of bees and raises
his own honey. He is, in fact, a
typical eastern farmer living almost
exclusively on his homestead. In our
vast prairie regions and especially OF
the eastern slope, settlers take no
small account of the range advant
ages afforded by our broken arid
lands and carry on quite different
husbandry. 1t is probably not more
profitable but it is on larger scale
for the majority of the country home
steads east of the great Rockies EN-
brace from 800 to 500 acres, and
when we move down out of our old
est settled valleys we come to the
land of princely possessions of from
five to fifty thousand acres. The
region of the Bitter Root, Missoul;
and Plains valleys is much on the
same order of the Flathead country
These valleys are possessed of a mild
er climate especially during thu
growing season than our mountain
valleys nearer the center of the state
and the farms for this reason ar,
smaller. 1t requires more labor Il

george was popular, but when
he populace began TO acclaim him,
Alilosh had him assassinated. At
| ter"ard when Servia gained her in
dependence Milosh was made king
and the royal house of Obrenovitch
was founded on the Servian throne
In 1868 Michael, the last descend
ant or old Milosh, was murdered by
one of BLACK Georges following in
revenge for that leaders, death years
before. Then it was that Milan,
Michaels cousin, the grandson of
Jephrem, was made the reigning
prince. He was selected by the
Russian General Tchernaleffen for the
throne against the wishes of Austria
and in 1872 was proclaimed king
From that his wild career has been
untrammeled.
His reign was corrupted by his ex-
travagances, which called him to lis
ten to any bride against ambassadors
who had an end to gain. King and
cabinet clashed frequently, the min
istry changed with every wind, but
the royal excuses grew in license
and extent. His marriage to the
beautiful Natalie put no check on
him. Dissolute women swarmed i'm the
palace. Once he took from the city
the whole chorus of an opera troupe
and lodge them in the palace. His
son, the present King Alexander, was
reared in the midst OF the most vici-
GUS court on the globe.
Servia sickened of Milan after
awhile, and he was persuaded to alb
dictate to his son. He was. paid
roundly for it. too, and with new
treasure in his Golfers he started
across Europe, leaving a red trail
in his wake.
Every decent door hnally was clos
ed to him. He was put out of the
Jockey club at Paris for cheating at
cards, and he descended into the COM
partnership of the most disreputable
classes.
A few years ago Baron Balch died
and left him a fortune, so that Milan
was able to continue his career af
ter his Matchmaking attempts on hi
son had ceased. Baron Balch wa
the heir of Prince Michael, whose as
sassinatiOn put Milan on the throne
Milan made several attempts to re
cover his power, and the Servian gov
eminent knew when his funds were
low. His last attempt was in 1897
and when his pot was discovered III
was exiled from the kingdom. He
bribed the court doctor to swear tina
King Alexander was insane.
The domestic woes of the queenly
Natalie, one of the most beautiful
royal women of Europe, have been a
scandal for years. The king forced
her to leave Belgrade, divorced her
remarked her and again left her.
They have not lived together for a
long period.
Several attempts have been made
to assassinate Milan. In 1882 Nine.

err, tried to kill him and in July of
last year he was shot and slightly i'll
i jured by a young assassin in Bel

THE WILCOX CASE.

Commenting upon the unanimous
verdict of the congressional commit
tee which Investigated the charges
of treason against Delegate Wilcox
of Hawaii, the Great Falls Leader
says:
1.-The action of the elections com
mittee of the house in deciding to
admit Representative Wilcox of Ha.
wall, without any further trouble, is
an act of clemency which We nope
Mr.. Wilcox will duly appreciate, as.
in fact, were he full representa-.
tive in congress, instead of being
merely a delegate from territory
we have no doubt that the house
upon considering the charges mad
against him, would have been unani
nous in expelling him. However
the act of the committee is an act OF
not only mercy toward Mr.. Wilcox
but also of tolerance toward the is
land which he represents"
Doubtless the Leader is right, and
it is to be hoped that Mr.. Wilcox will
be favored with marked copy OF
that newspaper and govern himself
tlonubiy in the confidence of the
gentlemen who compose the com
mitee, as we'll as being acquainted
with the methods of republicans
WIN it comes to depriving demo
crat of his seat in congress. Had
Wilcox had a vote it would have
been all off with him. His Treason
would have been black as night. As
it was the committee could see nc
reason why the facts should be per
verified to make horrible exampl
for treason shouters of the Leade

Money in Gardening

There are many ways in which a
good bit of money may be made in
gardening if we will but use little
judgment in growing the right thing
and then putting it on the market in
the right shape. E. E. Brown Of

itated in many localities with equal
ly good results.

THEY'VE QUIT LEASING.
The Mining Companies Will Do Their
Own DeveIopinu.

The days of leasing in the mines
Butte have passed, says the Amazon
da Standard. The several big min
ing companies have during the pas
few years issued orders to cease ne
gotiating with leasers and to develop
and mine the properties exclusively
themselves. The last to lease prop
erty was the Montana Ore Purchasin
company, which has just given ord
ers to close it's mines against leas
ers.
There are many men in Butte to-
day who owe their good fortunes to
the mining men who adopted the
leasing system in this district. Many
of them are wealthy, and there ara
cases where the men who leased
their ground are poor now, while the
men who mined their property are
wealthy. But these are not matter
of diamond cut diamond or dog
eat dog" but simply condolences
the mine owner met reverses and
the leaser continued to strike good
things.
The tide in the affairs of some men
has been completely changed by the
leasing system in the Butte mines
Struggling against what they believ
ed at times to be overwhelming odds
they succeeded in turning aside the
big stone from the door of the treas
ure cavern, ard the The world
seemed all aglow with cheerfulness
They had found fortunes for them
selves and the owners of the mines
as we'll. "Once found, always held
in Butte, for the veins seem to be
inexhaustible.
In the Heinze properties grea
deal of valuable development work
has been performed by leasers. 1t ha
been the practice of Mr.. Heinze to al
low man to go to any part Of hi
properties not in serious litigation All,
select for himself a place to mine
Some men see great things in small
vein or fissure, and they are proone 1
follow it into the depths in growing
hopes of a fortune at the goal. More
than one great body of ore has been
opened by the leaser, who followed
a "seam" to encounter a lead of mag
nitude. But the find was fortune
for the finder and owner.
1t is understood that there is some
leasing being done in the Alice prop
critics. but the big companies have is
sued the ultimatum that hencefoltl
all the good things in the depths are
theirs, and theirs alone.
There has been as many as 25'
leasers working at one time in Butte
During the year past, however, tn
number has been about 40.
There is considerable speculation
among the leasers regarding the pos
sible motive Mr.. Heinze has in clos
ing his properties against furthe
leasing, especially since so much .
the development work in his mine
has been performed by leasers. Som
persist in the belief that he is abou
to let loose of his holdings in Butte
now that the chances for his election
to the United States senate seem t.
be so far away.
