The summer season is the time
to make pigs pay They then need
no protection against cold, are not
stunted in growth, and demand but
little attention. Grass is the cheap.
est and best food for pigs, and they
will thrive and grow upon such
diet, as grass contains an abund-
anoe of mineral matter, which pro-
notes the growth of bone. Grain
is deficient in lime, which is essen
tisl for the growth of all young
stock. Glover contains more than
twenty times as much lime as corn.
To feed corn to pigs in summer is
to supply them with kind of food
which they do not require, as
growth at this season is more to be
desired than fat. Those who make
a profit from hogs depend largely
upon the pasture, freedom and the
privilege of selecting a variety of
of food, promoting the thrift of the
pigs and warding off disease.

NOVEMBER 10. 1902.

Nationally the recent elections
have lighted the way to a Presi-
Dental victory in 1904.
Wherever the democratic party
presented a united front and fought
out established issues of the party
there were great gains.
On those issues New York again
becomes debatable grounds. The
northwest invites the democracy to
battle on favorable terms The
south is impregnably democratic.
In Ohio the democracy can see
what happens when things are at
skies and sevens and no coherent
national purpose aaimates the lead
ership. s b 8
The democrats hold in their
hands the election of 1904 The
voters are willing to change the
oustodians OF. government. They
have made the issue and hold it
out plainly before the parties. The
issue is regulation of the trusts.
The republican party cannot take
the popular side of the question.
1t has confessed its impotence in
dealing with the trusts. It may
shuttle around revision of the tar
iff by friends of the tariff" but the
people know that every republican
revision ends in more tribute to
the monopolies. Though impotent
the republican party is compelled
to admit that the basic principle of
ourbing the trusts is divorce of
the trusts from special privileges OF
monopoly conferred at government
President Roosevelt has admitted
as much, Gov. Cummins, of Iowa,
has aggressively claimed as much,
and has driven SO forceful figure
as speaker Henderson out of poll
tics by making Iowa declare for
tariff reform. When republican
governors and a president admit
the righteousness of the democrat
io'idea the time is ripe for demo-
cratic solidarity.
Internally, the republican party
is crumbling. The politicians are
against Roosevelt, and the admir-
ers of Roosevelt are turning against
the politicians. That should be a
signal for democrats getting to-
gether.
Democracy long ago proved its
good faith in the regulation of
monopoly. No argument is neces-
sary before the people. Its pre-
dictions of the outcome of prohibit
tive protection have been realized.
Monopoly has organized into trusts,
which aim at the control of human
labor and the necessaries of life.
The democracy said that monopoly
would so organize, and all the peo-
pie remember.
The democratic party has but to
close its ranks and march straight
to the citadel of government
through the gates opened by pub
lilo favor. With united and pos
tive leadership, the election of
1904 would be one of the easiest
victories ever won by the party of
Jefferson ndJsckson.-St. Louis
Republic (Dem.)
The result of the election in
Rhode Island was perhaps the
greatest surprise of all. The state
has not been Democratic for many
years, and yet the plurality of DIR

is 6,538 Only last year DIR. Gar

black species, spotted, and it has
usually a pink flush along the lateral
line, but not SO pronounced as the
rainbow trout. It's color is of a
lighter hue than the rainbow or cut
throat, with steely reflections.
During the past five years the
United States fish commission has in
troduced the steelhead into the
waters of Montana, which seem to
be very suitable for this fine fish.
Quite a number of 3-year-old steel
heads have been taken on the fly
which weighed from two to three
pounds. The steelhead surpasses all
other trout in gameness and excel-
lence of flavor. In our mountain
lakes it should grow to eight or 10
pounds, as it reaches 20 or more
inches where it runs to the sea on
the west coast. :,
The rainbow has very much the
shape and general appearance of the
cutthroat, though somewhat deeper,
perhaps, and with shorter head and
smaller mouth. It's distinguishing
feature, however, is the broad red
band along the lateral line, common
to both male and female.
The grayling is very trim and
beautiful fish. The lovely iridescent
colors and tall gayly decorated dorsal
fin must be seen fresh from the wa
ter to be properly appreciated. The
grayling is a trim and handsome fish
as game as the trout and much better
for the table. The grayling was taken
in the Jefferson river nearly a hun
dred years ago by Lewis and Clarke,
and though they gave a fair descrip-
ton Of it in their history of the ex-
petition, it remained unidentified I'M
til about two years ago, when it was
recognized by DR.. Henshall of the
Bozeman hatchery, from the descrip-
ton of Captain Lewis.
While the grayling is found in the
three forks of the Missouri-the JET
ferson, Madison and Gallatin-and in
some tributaries lower down the
stream, it's ideal home is the upper
reaches of the Jefferson and Mad
ison. The upper canyon and basin OF
the Madison, west of the Yellowstone
park is especially adapted to the
grayling. There the water is swift
but unbroken, the bottom being com
posed of dark. obsidian sand. In this
region grayling of two and three
pounds are not uncommon.
Nearly 100000 grayling eggs were
shipped last summer by the United
States fish commission from Mon
tana to eastern points even as fal
east as New Hampshire and Vermont

NO RESERVATION
Petition of Rocky. Boy Refused by
Commissioner.

Anaconda, May 14.-The petition of
Rocky Boy, chief of the band of In
dams encamped east of the city, to
the president, asking that his people
be given a reservation where they
may better their condition and send
their children to school, has been re-
fused by the department of Indian af-
fairs.
When this petition came before the
commissioner at Washington, the
agent of the Flathead reservation
was instructed to come to Anaconda
and make a complete investigation
regarding this band of Indians, claim
ing to be Chippewas, American born.
Chief Rocky Boy, in his petition,
said that his entire tribe consisted Of
about 1870 souls-men, women and
children-Who had been for years
wandering from place to place in
Montana and were self supporting.
The Flathead agent in his report to
the Washington officials, says that
Rocky Boys follower number, all
told probably 400, but that they are
scattered all over the state.
In camp at Anaconda the agent
found but II bucks. One of these
was a Snake, several were Canadian
Crees, and the rest Chippewas.
After investigating thoroughly, the
agent reported that in the event of
granting these Indians a reserva-
ton it would be necessary to look
to the ancestry of every individual
Indian to ascertain who were deserv-
ing. In his opinion an Investigation
of this kind would result in less than
200 eligible to reservation rights.
The policy of the department OF
Indian affairs is to break up as far
as possible tribal relations, and make
the Indians self sustaining.
After duly considering the report
in all its phases, the principal ones
being that this is a mixed tribe and
that for years they have been self
sustaining, the petition was refused
/ Rocky Boy now intends asking fol-
the privilege of allowing members OF
his band who wish to do so to settle
upon surveyed or unsurveyed land.
One thing of Importance in the
agents report to Washington is thai
he found a faction of the Indians
probably 10 per cent, who were not
DESTROYS of settling down, but wished
to remain nomads, as they have beer
in the past.

MISSION FILES SUIT
To Recover From MissouIa County
Taxes Collected on Cattle.

The Montana Catholic mission, a
corporation, has commenced an ac-
ton in the United States court
against Missoula County to recover
SO, 1O8.45 taxes collected by the oe-
PENDANT on cattle belonging to the
plaintiff and ranged on the Flathead
termine whether a county has right
to collect taxes on property on an
Indian reservation belonging to
mission. The question is one that
has been raised from time to ime,
and will probably require decision
from the supreme court to determine
finally.
Through it's counsel, T. j. Walsh,
the plaintiff alleges that as the cattle
on the reservation are kept by the
mission purely for the purpose of
maintaining the institution, which is
not money making enterprise, it
should not be taxed.
The mission was founded by the
Jesuit Fathers in 1857, and has since
been maintained in the interests of
the Indian children of the Flathead
tribes. The Jesuits, the complaint
recites, cannot hold property in their
own name, and for that reason the
cattle are held in the name of the
! Montana Catholic missions, incorpor-
ated In the course of its complaint
| plaintiff says:

tablished a mission among the Flat
head Indians, residing in the western
portion of Montana and stationed
among them members of the said or

enlighten and care for said Indians,
and from about 1854 to the present
time have continued in the work of
teaching, educating and enlightening
the said Flathead Indians"
Since then, the complaint saws, the

KILLING OFF WILD ANIMALS.
Custodian of the National Park After
Them.

State Game and Fish Warden w
T. Scott brings word from the ma,
tional park that Major Pitcher, SUI
perintendent of the big preserve, com
menced crusade against wolves,
coyotes, mountain lions and other
animals of that class several months
ago and that as a result there are not
many of the animals left in Wonder
land. Mr.. Scott returned from Fort
Yellowstone, where he went to con-
fer with Major Pitcher on the pro-
posed conference of game wardens.
''It has been the general impress
sion" said Game Warden Scott, that
while the state offered reward for
the scalp of wolves, coyotes and like
animals, the. government was pro-
tecting them in the park, which was
becoming a great breeding place for
the pests. That might possibly have
been true once. but it is not now.
Last winter Major Pitcher had all
the carcasses of dead animals in the
park that could be found poisoned,
and as result many wolves and coy
otes and mountain lions have been
killed. The soldiers have orders to
shoot these animals on sight, and
many of them have fallen before their
bullets. l understand that there has
been a great slaughter of these ami
mails, and that there are compare
lively few of them left in the park"
