with their Interpreters, were wide
awake. The young Philadeiphian is
very dark. and he was mistaken for a
foreigner. One Of the Interpreters came
up to him and said, "Mocesh mouveet

The interpreter was asking him If he

'PRosPERIry's queen in royal robes
Of regal green sets upon Montana's
thousands of hills, holding scepter over

venerable poet-farmer-editor of the old
Rocky Mountain Husbandman. "Far
and wide over hill and dale on our de-
nuded ranges waves of bunch grass,
almost thick and tall enough to NOV

sion of barren hills and the desert

ranges of last year are waving sea
of luxuriance today, and plenty and to
spare sits enthroned everywhere; and
as if impelled by nature the state is
all astir with industry. The thrift Of
man and the luxur,ance of nature
seem to vie with each other in their
onward march. and he who will pause
to take cognizance of the surroundings
can but be impressed with the great
activity noticeable on every hand.
Every nook and corner of this great
state has reason to feel elated over the
impulses, the activity given by the
general outlook. 1t is this propensity
of nature to recuperate, this return OF
verdant seasons every few years, that
makes Montana the great state that it
is, and inspires us with confidence.
Having watched its changes for thirty
six years, we believe that we are in a
position to guess it's future, it's destiny,
as we'll, perhaps, as the ordinary run
or men. and we are confident that we
have seen some of the worst and some
of the best that can befall, and the
happy average strikes us SO favorably
that we cannot forego the pleasure Of
ccngratulating all who have cast their
fortunes with our great state, and es-
pecially do we congratulate the home
owners of this land of widespread lux.

THE Billings Gazette which has,
since the advent of E. H. Becker to the
managership, earned the reputation of
being the most bigoted sheet in Mon
tana, is pursuing policy towards its
patrons that can only result in turn
ing them against it. An enterprising
eastern firm has sent its men into
Billings and are now engaged in CON-
piling a city directory, incidental
~ soliciting advertising for its
pages. The Gazette brands them
as "fakirs." and the patrons who buy
space as suckers. Even were the first
charge true the second comes in bad
taste. 1t is case of sour grapes
with the Gazette. If they had fore
seen the need for a good directory and
gotten one out on exactly the same
lines they would have demanded adj
ertising patronage in as blatant a
tone as they now decry the other fell
low. There are other effective meth
DDS Of advertising than in dailv
newspapers, and the sooner the Ca
settle recognizes the fact, the more
conf dence will its solicitors insnire
i'll the value of Gazette space. The
directory is a good thing, and de.
serves all the support accorded it.

State Wants First Chance.

That irrepressible bugaboo, house
bill No. II, giving the state a prefer
ence right to purchase all bonds issued
by any public body in the state, has
again come up to hinder the adjust
ment of the finances of Custer and
Rosebud counties. The joint commits
sion of the two counties which adjusted
the division of the debt of Custer coun-
ty agreed that Rosebud county, in pay
ment of its share, should issue per
cent bonds for SAL, $3.50 and deliver
them to Custer county. C. w. Bailey,
clerk of Rosebud county, wrote to State
Treasurer Barrel, asking him to waive
the states prior right of purchase in
order that the settlement might be
made. Mr.. Barrel referred the matter
to Acting General H. D. Moore for an
opinion on the validity of the plan of
action and the latter made his reply
yesterday.
Mr.. Moore calls attention 10 the fact
that the law creating Rosebud county
provided that that county might de-
liver to Custer county warrants for
Rosebud county's share of the debt, or
Rosebud county might issue bonds to
redeem warrants of Custer county
equal in amount to the debt Rosebud
county assumes. But he points out
that the law expressly provides that
these bond shall be sold at no less than
par and in the mode and manner pro-
vided by law for the issue and sale of
county bonds. He then continues:
They, therefore, become subject to
all the provisions of house bill No. II.
giving the state treasurer preference
sight to purchase them, and should the
county commissioners of Rosebud coun-
ty fail to do SO, they will be subject to
the penalty prescribed by said act.
Therefore, the resolution of the Joint
commission to directly transfer the
bonds to Custer county is void, being
contrary to the provisions of the act. :"
Mr.. Barrel submitted the whole mat
ter to the board of state land commits
sloners yesterday, but that BODY re-
fused to take any action for lack of suf-
| ficient information.
"A similar request came from the
| Union Bank & Trust company for a
waiver OF the states preference right
TO buy 5000 of bonds issued nv one of
the school districts of Sweet Grass
county, as they were sold to the bank
May II, before the session laws had
been published, and, therefore, in ip-
norance OF the states right. The board
granted the waiver in this case.

He had to return to Sheridan at once
to meet Mrs. Ferguson's mother who

Mrs. A. Wesley has gone to Sheri-

increasing.
Mr.. Bixby has left for the Crow

Miss Burlington, our popular school
teacher, made pleasant call on Mrs.
Wesley and afterward superintendent
the Sunday school, which was visited
by Little Yellow Bird and few other
religiously inclined Indians who are
putting up hay on the Cd ranch.
We notice great change for the bet
ter in the Cheyennes since they have
came into possession of ranches up
here. We are informed that all the
hay the Indians can put up is already
spoken for by cattlemen.
A. Wesley sold two horses to Black
Coyote, government employee, who
is commencing ranching on the Frank
Taylor ranch.
We hope and expect our county COM
missioners will appoint justice of the
peace here as it would be very conven-
lent to the settlers, and is really need

and so far from Justice.
