The Purposes OF the Enumeration.
NEW YORK. June "A census Of the
cousuTnptives in this State Is soon to be
taken by Dr. Daniel Lewis, Commissioner
Of the State Board Of Health. II VIII be
the first census of the kind ever underJak-
en by this State and one Of the most
important from a physician's and a lay
mans point of view. The records in the
majority OF medical Libraries show. it is
said. that many boards Of health of large
cities have tried to learn the number OF
persons suferings with tuberculosis with
in the territory over which they have con-
troll, but none Of the statistics regarding
consumption Indicate that any effort has
been made TO take the census Of tUbercU-
I5Us persons in any State OF in a large
area inhabited by several mill on people
The census about to be taken in this
State is only for the purpose Of learning
the number Of cOnsUmptives in the State
as far as possible, and the revealing OF
other facts relating to the disease, which
VIII undoubtedly be Of great import to
physicians and surgeons in every part Of
the world It is expected that this euum-
Grafton VIII throw much light on the
question as to what the State should do
for the care Of those within its borders
who are afflicted with consumption and
Who cannot afford to pay for treatment at
the private sanatoriums.
The annual number of deaths from con
sumption in this State is about T. 2o00. and
some persons think that this death rate
indicates that there are about T5.o1o per
sons in the State who have tuberculosis
About eighteen or twenty months after
this census IS completed another one viii
De made. and the results Of the two will
form. it Is expected, a good basis FIR
comparison. The results Of these statis-
teal tables viii reveal to the commits
sioner of health and to the public whath-
er consumption is on the increase or
wane. and other valuable data

the census would begin. said:

Editor Gazette: In regard to the
leasing of the public lands for grazing
purposes, I desire to say a few words
through your columns, as the matter
seems to be misunderstood by a great
many farmers and even some newspap-
er men. The difficulty appears to be
that 50 many people labor under the
impression that there is a great
amount Of free range still open or that
may b. used by farmers or small
cattle or sheep outfits. It Is true that
the range is still free to any man who
wishes to pasture his herds upon it.
But the new man who drives his stock
upon any Of the existing Montana
ranges finds himself confronted with
the fact that all the available water
has been already taken up, and that
without the right to use water the
range is useless to him.
So far as the farmer with a few head

ing the status Of the Burlington i'll the
pending railroad consolidation:
1--WE understand that the situation
respecting the Burlington & Quincy
indicates a tripartite control of the
property, the three interests concerned
being the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific aud Union Pacific. Tt is clear
that the general theory of the deal is
entirely sound. 1t would be of much
advantage to these three companies to
own the Burlington, and they could
afford to pay a pretty liberal price for
the property in order to assure their
own interests.
"TLe Burlington, of course, oocu-
pies a very strong position in the
premises, and the company's managers
are fully appreciative of the strength
of their position. Sometime ago when
they were asked at what price they
would sell the road, they named 5000
per share as their minimum. Seeing
that this fact is presumably known
to those negotiating for the property,
it would seem either that the Burling-
ton people have lowered their price or
that the intending purchasers have
made up their minds to pay the
price,"
Charles S Fee, general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific, has in
formed the Billings office of the road
that the North Coast Limited train
service will be resumed on the 5th day
of next May from st. Paul. The new
card will be effective from Portland
on the same date. leaving there at 2
p. H.. instead Of 1:45 p. m, AS is the
case with the present No. IL, but the
North Coast Limited equipment will
not be in position to leave Portland
until May 8. It is likely that the leav-
ing time from st. Paul will be about
the same as last year, that is, at 1855
in the morning, also that train No. 8
will leave there at 1890 O'Clock at
night, both trains making about the
same schedule as last year, both west
bound INT e%astbound. The limited
will again u by the way Of Butte.
All passes on the Northern Pacific
will not be good on the North Coast
Limited when that train is put back
into service. That was announced q
long time ago. Mr.. Fee now also
gives notice that no special or chart
cred cars can be attached to that high
toned train. The train is limited to
eight cars and this number cannot be
increased except from Livingston to
st. Paul, where the regular Yellow
stone park sleeper is attached during
the park season.
President Mellen and other officials
of the Northern Pacific who have just
returned from an extended trip
through the west, report great pros
pe1ity all along the line, says the Min

settlers, thousands of whom have
