as the, dispatches put it. Think of it
hired man who will tend your sheep,
till your soil and be satisfied with one
quarter the amount your white herder
demands and who is willing to cut the
grocery bill for his keep in proportion!
Such wages make the monthly allow
ance of the New England farm hand
who works in the field from sun-up un-
til dark and does chores while he is
resting, seem like a princely income
in comparison. Montana has always
been proud of the distinction of prac-
ticing the theory that the laborer is
is worthy of his hire, and no state in
the union has offered a more welcome
field to men willing to work. Wages
in every class of labor have been uni
formly higher than in the east, and
the influx of horde of sawed off
coolies from the Mikado's kingdom
will not be received with great favor
by the ranchmen of this end of the
state, whatever the northern ranch
men may do. Nor is southern or west
ern Montana exempt from the threat
ened invasion. There are perhaps 500
Japanese employed on the railroads
in construction work, and as section
hands in those parts of the state, and
should the Great Northern experiment
prove successful, bad example will
be set for these men.
While the people of the west have
always exhibited a more friendly
spirit towards the Japanese than to
the Chinese, the prospect of an mum
dation of cheap Japanese labor will
serve to dispel this feeling, and some
sheep herding Dennis Kearney may
gather the clans and start another
sand lot agitation that will equal the
anti Chinese movement of California
many years ago.

On THE first page the informal re-
port of the commissioners proceedings
will be found. AS to the action of the
board of commissioners in awarding
the printing contract to the Times, the
News has no comment to make. They
doubtless acted in good faith and used
their best Judgment. But in present.
ing protest the News was actuated
by a desire to have the business done
in a regular way. The contract itself
and the bond offered are not worth the
paper they are printed on, and no one
knows it better than the deputy county
attorney, who drew up the documents.
Even if the News fails to profit by the
d. c. as bungling or scheming, which,
ever it is-a grave error will have
been corrected.

JAPS FOR MONTANA.

For many years the Pacific coast
has been battling with the problem of
coolie labor, and now, according to
press dispatches from northern Mon
tana, the people of this state are going
to be given taste of what competition
with the imported labor of the Orient
means. Employed along the Great
Northern railroad are hundreds of
Japanese laborers, who were brought
to the state from the coast to displace
the white .laborers, and are now close
to the limit of their two year contract.
These little Japs are ideal workmen
in many respects, sober, industrious
and frugal. Being better adapted for
pastoral pursuits than for the rough
work incident to keeping Jim Hills

they are now soliciting jobs among
the farmers and ranchers of the Great

FUNSTON'S LONG SHOT,
many years ago.

With characteristic grit, enterprise
and luck, little Fred Funston, adven-
turer, journalist, explorer and soldier,
has once more acquired an advantage
eous position in the center of the
worlds stage, and is now listening to
the pleasant applause of hero
worshiping people, and incidentally
garnering the fruits of his last hazard
on long chance at Fate. In claim

liar brands of genius than the rest of
the country combined can produce,

dier and singing too loudly peans of
praise, it will be interesting to learn
just what sort of stuff this rejuvenated
hero is made of.
Funston's personality is deceptive;
he lacks the commanding figure, the
open and hearty manner that marks
his compatriot of San Juan fame, and
the personal appearance, or what in
the vernacular of the vulgar is called
the "front" that one would naturally
expect to find in a dashing military
hero.
Understood, little vain, fairly APP

busy with his exploits and plans and
his little swimming feat won glory out
of all proportion to it's Importance.
When the true facts of this affair came
to light, Funston's fame waned, and
he saw he must ''make good" if he
was to retain his envious reputation.
For nearly two years he has patiently
waited and planned and his hazardous
and brilliant feat of kidnapping the
chief factor in the Filipino defense is
what he can now offer to the American
people in proof of his claim to the title
of hero.

characteristics of Roosevelt with the

BRIEF REVIEW.
Siberia's Great River.

The Amur is one of the few greatest
rivers in the world. In length it is
equaled by no river in Europe, and sur
passed only by the Yang-tse and Yini-
sci in Asia, by the Nile and Congo in
Africa and by the Amazon and Maken-
zie in America, though if we reckon the
Mississippi and Missouri as one river, it
is longer than any of them except the
Nile. Its water is somewhat muddy at
Vladivostok, but nothing like the con-
sistency of the Mississippi at st. Louis.
1t cannot be said to be "both food and
drink" AS one ascends its swift cur
rent it constantly grows clearer, until,
a thousand miles farther up, it is about
the color of white wine, and is sweet
and wholesome to the tasteS

THE OCEAN scoRcHER.

He Who Brags About How Many
Times He Has ''CrOssed."
The ocean scorcher, the woman or
man who was forever Dragging about
how many times he had crossed" is,
thank heaven, ON the decrease. Fash
ion has at last set the seal of her dis
approval on him, and he is rapidly be-
coming obsolete. The fashion is now
never to mention the number of times
one has been to Europe. 1.-The last time
l was over is the way to refer to an
over the water experience if you wish
to be in the vogue. Of course you may,
if you truthfully car, say ''the time be-
fore last was over" or "the tenth time
1 crossed" or during my seventh trip
through Europe" but a great majority,
you will find, say "the last time was
over" 1t is safer-when one has been
over but once.
Pin many of these travellers so fond
of relating their European experiences
down to the figures, and you will find
that 1.-The last time l was over" bears
close relation to the little boy who said
he was next to the head of his class,
to have it transpire later that the class
consisted of himself and a little girl.
1.-The last time l was over may, like
as not, have been the first. Still any
thing is better than the ocean scorcher
and his Dragging. To him it didn't
matter where he hadn't been or what
he hadn't seen or anything, but simply
how many times he had crossed.
The one time on record that any one
was known to get ahead Of these
scorchers was when lot of them were
sitting swapping lies on certain
steamship deck and a nonscorcher, hav-
ing learned that the star scorcher's rec
ord was 1873 runs, remarked, There's

He Hacked OF His Leg.

Caught in bear trap on the banks
of the Athabasca, near Milford, Me-,
John Mcleod, a lumber scaler, was
obliged to take out mis- jackknife and
cut off his leg. The trap was too heavy
to move and was sprung in such way
that he could not reach over and re-
lease It. He was far from any human
being, and the only way out of it seenI-
ed to be to cut off the leg.
That was done easily, because the leg
upon which he operated was Of wood.
But when he stumped back to camp It
made him mad to hear the jeers Of the
French-Canadian cook of the lumber
crew.
"Why you no take off you whole
wood laig, ah? You get out um thrap
and no spite you wood laig tall, ah?"
Such way out of his difficulty had
not occurred to Mcleod before.

The Real Cause.

The real causes of Americas success
may be summed up in the words-a
tariff, securing the home market and
enabling foreign countries to be used as
a dumping ground for American sur
plus productions, and great alertness of
mind. Americans have the insight to
scrap their machinery when it goes out
of date, and to use every labor-saving
limit output and frown on the machine
tool. But with us, methods, machin-
cry and organization, which are so con-
sentative that they are ten years behind
the times-a fact which England is
slowly discovering.

The King and His Dog Tax.

Ancient Greek law is to the effect
that every owner of dog shall pay a
yearly tax of II drachmas. Those who
do not pay in time are condemned by
the new law to pay double the tax.
King George sent recently to the police
in order to register his four dogs and to
pay their taxes. But the official found
that his majesty owed for the taxes a
sum of As drachmas, and had been
fined another 4S drachmas for having
delayed payment. His majesty has
paid So dracemas for his dogs.

Origin OF the Word sterling.

The origin of the word sterling is
very curious. Among the early mint
ers of coin in northern Europe were the
dwellers of eastern Germany. They
were so skillful in their calling that
land to manufacture the metal money
of the kingdom. The strangers were
known as "easterlings." After a time
the word became sterling" and in
this abbreviated form it has come to
imply what is genuine in money, plate
or character.
