of which tells OF a fashionable WON

THE PROMISE TO OBEY?

riaqe Service?

riaqe Service?
In ministerial circles there is a live
ly agitation over the question whether
the word obey in the marriage sery-
Ice is not superfiuous. The officiating
clergyman at a marriage service repre-
sents not only the human law. but
the spirit of the divine law. He is es-
pecially anxious not to require an OBJ
legation that will not be considered
binding on the conscience of the party
to marriage to whom it applies. One
clergyman has taken the ground thai
II the woman was required to promise
TO obey, the man should be subject to
the same requirement If this means
anything, it means that the parties to
a marriage should take turns in obey
ing each other. When an issue arises
both cannot command and both obey
The advocates of the elimination of
the word obey" from the marriage
service plant themselves upon the i'm
pregnable ground that a woman no
more than man should be asked 10
make promise that in her heart or
mind she did not intend to keep The
marriage is happy in which situations
do not arise which justify a liberal
construction OF the promise TO obev.
AS laws which cannot be enforced are
the weak link in the chain of laws,
care should be taken not to impose
conditions of doubtful utility Better
not make promise than make one
and break it--San Francisco Bulletin

ably two feet long. She raised the
board and discovered $40 gold
piece, a dime, a nickel and penny
lying beneath it. The next morning
she told her husband about her
dream. Last Friday might she had
the same identical dream again. Sat
urday when they drove into town and
tied up at their accustomed place,
Mr.. Nelson jokingly said: you had
better look for your 500 now"
She took him at his word going
down the path she had seen in her
dreams, curiosity impelling her to
see just how much would come true.
Down the path she went, where she
had never been before, and every
inch of the way was as seen in the
dream At the bottom of tic II,
and just on the brink of purling
brook lay the board as seen twice by
her IN her dreams. This was becom-
to screw up her courage nightly be-
fore she could look beneath the
board. When, however, she did so,
there lay the coins a twenty, dime,
nickel and penny. She was ready
to faint and made haste to leave the
uncanny spot. Mr.. Nelson, less
started but sufficiently impressed
to make his hands unsteady, picked
up the coins and came down to relate
the wonderful tale.
Mrs. Nelson was as white as a
sheet and almost sick with excite
ment; her husband was also badly
ratified. Both are absolutely mysti-
fed by the strange occurrence, while
the incident is the talk Of the town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson are both hon
est and trustworthy people, and none
who know them doubt that the
strange find was made. They have
lived in this vicinity for years, and
are not the kind of people who wou'
be apt to get up hoax.

Government Will Investigate Stories
of Bogus Entries.
1t is reported that the government
has decided to investigate the stories
of alleged fraudulent entries in the
Tobacco Plains district, and in evil
dence of fraud is discovered to prose
cute the offenders. There have been
many rumors afloat concerning the
matter, but no action has yet been
taken, although some steps are eX-
pected soon. There are four contest
cases to be heard before United
States Commissioner Copeland the
latter part of the month, that have
a bearing on the threatened investi-
cation, and it is expected that some
thing definite will result from them.
Complaint has been made that
many ranches taken up in the vicin-
ity of Tobacco under the desert lands
act have water running through them
and in no wise are they within the
scope of the law. Many ranches it
is said have been taken up by parties
employed for that purpose by men
who, having no rights, pay the cost
of proving up, and few dollars addi-
tional. The investigation to be is said
to have been the result of one the
most prominent ranchers of Tobacco
Plains refusing to buy a claim from
man he had hired to take it up.
Not being able to dispose of it to
any one elese, the settler wrote to
Washington in regard to the matter,
and the land officials started quiet
investigation that has resulted in the
discovery of many fraudulent entries

PROh.ISING FUTURE.
For Flathead County Acknowledged
Bv ALL

Oliver T. Crane state law libra
rian and A. C. Schneider, court stem
ographer, returning from hunting
trip in the Saltwater valley, recently,
expressed their rapturous experience
of the Flathead country freely to the
Helena papers. While. they enjoyed
their hunting trip very much they
also took observations of the country
and are sure that this section of the
state has a promising future.
1t is in the agricultural line that
Flathead is expected to come into
her own in a few years. 1T is
fine agricultural country" said Mr.
Crane, "and it is good to see the
splendid crops growing there without
a particle of irrigation. The soil is
very rich. We hunted through one
swamp, now a perfect jungle, that
can be easily drained, and then it's
two feet of richness can be converted
into ranch that will produce won
derfully'
Fruit growing, too, is likely to be-
come an important factor in the coun-
tvs development. There are a large
number of orchards there now. Fred
Whiteside has in one orchard about
5000 young trees, and in another
there are some 5000 trees.
The land owners of this section of
Flathead evidently have an abiding
faith in the future of their country,
if the figures at which they hold their
lands may be taken as an index.
Some of them hold their 16O acres
and cabin at $4,000, and still others
have made sales at as much as $4,000.
