GET TOGETHER

We regret to learn that the resi-.
dents on the East Fork OF Big Spring
creek cannot agree upon a site for
the proposed new school house. The
school board has taken the proper ac-
ton in refusing to consider the mat
ter further until local differences are
adjusted. In such matters, where the
school fund Is limited and districts
sparsely settled. mutual concessions
must be made and harmony prevail,
ven though there are some individ-
uaI disadvantages. II is almost i'm
possible to locate a school building
where 1t will be in exact equal dis
lance to all patrons. This matter
should be approached in a broad spir-
it, the great advantages to be obtained
operating as the controlling idea. We
sincerely hope the East Forkers will
avoid a neighborhood quarrel and get
together quickly. Charges and coun-
ter charges through the press only ag-
gravate the situation and heals no
wounds. Nothing is gratifying
than to see a community of settlers
dwelling together in peace and har-
mony and pulling evenly in the traces
to promote the common good. It IS
the best evidence of a higher civiliza.
ton.
In a country where every child of
school age is at home or a horse, and
ponies are numerous and cheap, the
district school house can be reached
without much difficulty. AS the coun'
try settles up and the assessable prop
erty increases districts will be divid'
ed and new school buildings erected,
In the meantime settlers should make
the best of the situation and not per
nit a little matter of distance deprive
them of the advantages of schools

If the people of East Fork would
fare any better with an independent
school district they should apply for
segregation at once and 1t should be
granted. 1t is fully fifteen miles from
Lewistown to the centre of the neigh
borhood now seeking school facili-
ties. The people of Lewistown should
not expect to profit at the expense
of outlying communities in school
matters. 1t is absurd to say that they
have the privilege of the Lewistown
schools. It. is impossible for their
children to attend school from their
homes and patrons cannot afford to
spend the school term in town for
that purpose. II the residents of East
Fork think they can build a school
house and maintain a school upon the
money raised from taxes in that reg
ion they should seek separation at
once and have a new district estab-
lished. If the school board does not
feel like parting with that end of the
school district after reading the COM
m%unications to be found elsewhere,
it will be very strange. There seems
to be NJ way out of the difficulty ex
cept to build two school houses, if
they cannot get together. Divide the
district and let them settle the mat.
ter among themselves. It is too
large. anyway.

another column. is in error when he
says the school board are all citizens
of Lewistown. Mr.. IcHugh repre-
sents the Castle Butte locality and
Mr.. Moshner the Corbly neighborhood.
Funds for building school houses are
generally raised by a special levy
while the apportionment money is
used for maintaining the schools. 1t
is doubtful whether a pro rata ap-
portionment from the taxes paid up
on East Fork property would be suf.
ficient to conduct a school for six
months of the year possibly not more
than three. But whether it would or
not the people of the entire district
concede the necessity of a school in
that vicinity and the trustees are
ready to assist as they have in other
outlying neighborhoods.

Helena. March Ex-Governor Toole

Governor Toole says:
Remembering the sad death Of our

morning OF his last day on earth
when he pleaded with his nurse to
raise the blinds that he might sec the

that adulterated filth in the shape OF

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

For aldermen In the coming munic.
ipal election the Republicans have
placed In nomination men Of integ-
rity, business capacity and high stand
ing in the community. just such men
as are needed to conduct the affairs
Of the city for the coming year.
Though placed In nomination by the
Republican organization their party
fealty as 1t pertains to affairs Of ma
tional import has been a secondary
consideration. The aim has been to
secure good and competent men, men
who command the respect and esteem
Of their fellows. both personally and
in a business way. Having done this
there Is no hesitation In asking
support for these nominees at the bal
lot box next Monday. Taxpayers who
will expect an economical and judic,
ious expenditure of public money in
the great work soon to be inaugural,
ed in our young city must choose
careful and conservative men for that
purpose. Such men we believe you
will find in d. z. Hemphill of the
First ward, w. d. Symmes of the Sec
ond ward and r. A. Hanke OF the
Third.
Every citizen, regardless Of party
is invited to place his sholder to the
wheel and make their election sure

There was a meeting Of anarchists
in Chicago one night last week. Just
as one of the bewhiskered orators
had stated that there was no vio-
lence in the creed" a free fight be-
gan over a window that was opened
by one who evidently could not stand
the stencil emitted by his brethren,
which was equal to that of a glue fac
tory. Those opposed to fresh air were
in the majority as could be expected
and the window was closed and the
lecturer continued his discourse. An
anarchist has little use for fresh air
or water.

WILL MARKET
CROPS HERE

Franz BucholtZ, the well known
farmer whose plantation at Kona, Ha-
wall, is the pride of the Islands. is in
the city, and made an extended ca !
at the offices OF the agricultural eX-
pertinent station and commissioner Of
agriculture yesterday. He talked en-
Enthusiastically of the success of small
farming on a large scale and is con-
WINGED that not only can almost any
crop be successfully cultivated in the
Islands, but at a profit as well. H.
has but lately formed this opinion of
the success of small farming as a
financial venture, but his farm in Kona
is a growing example of agricultural!
success in Hawaii. The chief difficulty
which confronts the small farmer in
Hawaii, Is the expense Of marketing h =
crop, and this Is attributed by Mr..
BucholtZ to the middlemen in Homo
lulu, as well as to eXorbitant freight
charges. Since his visit to Honolulu
this time, Mr.. Bucholtz has been NOR a
successful, and stated yesterday that
he had secured the services of a mid
dleman who would handle the products
of his farm; which would allow him
some profit.
1.-THE Honolulu middleman wants to
get rich all at once" said Mr.. Buchnltz
yesterday They are not satisfied
with a profit OF 90 per cent, but It must
be ECO per cent. Then they fear the
coming of homegrown products to this
market II is liable to reduce the cost
to the consumer. and that means
smaller profits for the middle man
again. The freight rates. too. are
high. but have made arrangements

duce in Honolulu now, and it viii pay

acres, and 400 more under lease.
Everything grows well In our DIS
trict, and there appears to be no limit
to the crops that can be raised. Cab
bage, celery and caulltiower can be
picked all the year around. The celery
is of the finest quality. 1t may re-
main in the ground year or more,
and that doesn't appear to affect is
quality in the slightest. Cab
bage the same way; 1t may he

or spring and grows to enor-

tatoes, the same way; / have planted
them four times in succession on the
same piece of ground. and they cost
but half cent a pound.
"Artichokes. parsley, parsnips, car
rOts and red beets grow the year
round, and lima beans have to be
gathered every week. CuCumbers, tur-
rips and tomatoes are all growing on
my farm, and are doing finely. The
melon was first attacked by the melon

must be picked right away, as they

weeks.

QUIET IN MINE REGION
Over Ninety Per Cent Of Men viii
Quit Work June 2.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 25.-This was
the quietest Sabbath in the Wyoming
region since the strike began.
The circular which President Mitchell
sent out warning the Polish, Slavish and
Lithuanian miners to remain away from
the btuminous region of Virginia and
West Virginia, where strikes are now In
progress, was read In many of the
churches where the foreign miners attend
services.
Secretary Mulcahy of the stationary
firemen's union, reported today that the
poll of the men employed at the various
colieries has just been completed and
that over ninety per cent of the men will
quit work on June unless an eight-hour
day is granted them. Another officer of
the union admits that the percentage of
engineers who will quit work will not be
as large lot very nearly SO.
The strikers here are inclined to look
with favor on the action of the mine
workers conference at Huntington, w.
Va. in ordering strike of the miners in
Virginia and West Virginia. They think
1t will hasten the crisis in the anthracite
region.
A big union meeting of railroad men will
be held in this city June 2, when the ques-
ton of railroad crews handling non-union
and bituminous coal, will be finally set
tied.

LOUBET IN DENMARK.
Thunderous Salute From Port Greet
ed the French President.

Copenhagen. May 25.-President Loubet

French cruiser Montcalm landed here
today after a favorable and rapid voyage
through the Baltic. As the Montcalm
drew too much water to allow her to
approach Copenhagen, President Loubet
was transferred to the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Cassini, which accompanied the
Montcalm The Cassini was the recipient
of thunderous salutes from the forts upon
her arrival In the roadstead here.
Kink Christian. the Danish crown prince
and other members of the royal family,
embarked on launch and were taken
to the Cassini where the king was greet
ed by the President of France King
Christian wore the uniform of the COM
m mander-in-chief of the Danish army.
The King and the president then came
ashore In the royal launch and was driven
amid cheers of the people to the Amien-
burg castle, where luncheon was served
to the royal family and the French yisi-
changed between the king and the presi-
dent. Later King Christian and NJ Lou
bet together drove about Copenhagen and
then returned to the harbor. The visitors
accompanied by the king and the Danish
princess were then conveyed to the Cas-
sini where the farewells were said. Amid
salutes and cheers from the people the
Cassini left here at 4:3O clock.

BUYS SIX WHENI ELEVNIOHo
Purchase Price is Said to Have Been
$75o,ooo.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 25.-Walter Vroo-
man of the Western cooperative move
ment has closed contracts for the pur-
chase of six of the largest wheat eleva-
tors in the Kansas wheat belt and two of
the largest Touring mills. The price
paid is said to have been $750,000 and
Mr.. Vrooman, who has left for New
York to complete the financial end Of the
plan, says the present purchase Is but
the beginning of a movement to center
the farmers of Kansas in a cooperative
branch of the Vrooman Cooperative
Company. The concern will be known
as the Wheat and Flour Western Co
operative Company. The farmers are to
be taken into the scheme upon the pay
ment of 500 each for which they are to
receive the market value of their wheat
sold to the company and in addition will
receive one-half of the profit derived, the
other half going to cooperative stores
through which the wheat and flour will
be handled.
THE plan" said Mr.. Vrooman, "is to
eliminate wheat spectators and the mid
dlemen. 1t Is the only way to head off
the talked of flour trust that is forming
in New York"
to be sold among the cooperative men,
bers there, the surplus product not dis
posed of in Kansas and Missouri.
