Gambling in Lewistown.

1t should be the duty of the people
and press Of Montana to give Attorney
General Donovan every possible aid in
Ills efforts to suppress gambling. It
Will not do to make war on the COM
paratively harmless slot machines be-
cause their operation can be easily de-
teoted and allow gambling with cards
and other devices to proceed unchecked.
There Is no question but gambling is
being carried on in Lewistown and at
other points in the county. Attorney
General Donovan insists that county
attorneys enforce the law and in many
counties of the state they are needing
his admonition and closing up the re-
sorts of the green cloth gentry. We
are looking for County Attorney Bel
den to make a vigorous and determined
move in Fergus. While it is not ex-
pected that this officer shall act as q
detective still there will be no trouble
in getting evidence of attractions of the
law II it is earnestly desired. II gam
bling and slot machines can be sup
pressed in Cascade county It can be done
in Fergus. Hew to the line. Mr.. county
attorney, let the "chips" fall where they
may.-Fergus County Argus.

BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
Stock Conditions.

Stockmen are smiling and the rural
people generai4y are cheerful. In a cOun-
ny like Montana, where we irrigate to
i.iae crops ana man is the absolute
oiaster of the situation if sufficiently
p oFloed with water the man not ac-
quainted with the conditions would con-
eluoe that we would never have
thought as to the weather, and this is
in measure true in our older valleys
where trainers are solely dependent on
6! oppiHg their fields. But over three
fou.tns Of our state even the farmers
have more or less stock and are more
or less Interested in the amount Of grass
t at grows upon our pasture lands
which lie, as a rule. about our irriga-
ton bitches. This being the case when
we have a general, a prolonged season
OF rain as late jim the year as May 25.
Which fully sSureS splendid growth
OF grass there is good reason for re-
jcicing and the people generally have
cause to smile. The cattle interest is at
the top OF the heap at this writing. Beef
lis bearing good prices and promises to
hr even better than last year all the sea-
sen through. Horses are also selling for
.alr hgures ONE more and mutton
sAeep at this writing net four dollars in
the Chicago marAet. hence it will be
seen tLat The country is in a fair way
tor prosperous season even though
wool Is very low. The lamb crop, the
colt crop and calf crop all promise to
be good.
In quarter of a century's observa-
ticns. writing continually Of these mat
ters, we do not remember of but one or
two Landing seasons that were better
than we have had this spring. The eve
flocks of the state, taken on an average
will be increased from eighty to ninety
LEI cent, which is marvellous. In tho
counting out of ewes that drop lambs
It. Will in many cases be found that there
Is lamb for every eve. OF course there
Is always percentage Of dry ewes, ewes
that do not lamb, and this is all that
will prevent many owners from raising
an hundred per cent However it is good
enough. and with such success and NUT
ton bringing good figures, and all other
industries prospecting. the low price of
wool cannot cripple the prosperity of
the state or prevent things from wear
ing most cheerful aspect throughout
live stock, and in fact. rural circles,
which means pretty good times for
| everybody. Anyhow we feel assured that
1901 will average with any year Mon
tana has had since the panic of 1S93.-
