was the summer before last Kittie and
Bessie had been close friends until
Jack came along, so perhaps it was
rather natural that he should go about
with both of them. However, pretty
soon it became rather evident that he
was admiring Bessie, with her golden
hair and pink white skin. Kittie bit her
lips with modification. Then she did
clever thing. She gave Jack a set of
new cushions for his canoe. They were
of a beautiful shade of crimson, and
Jack rejoiced greatly. The next day he
took both girls out rowing. as was his
custom With gallant care, he placed
the cushions so. that they should be
comfortable. Kittie nestled back
among hers. So did Bessie. Foolish

POWER ON LEASING,

In a Chicago interview ex-senator
Power takes decided ground against
the suggested leasing bill. He points
out the detriment such a measure will
be to Montana and the other western
states whose hope of growth and pros
perity depends upon the Development
Of their agricultural resources.
1t is particularly pleasant to find
Mr.. Power taking this position be-
cause in the past he has been quoted
as unbeliever in the agricultural re-
sources of this state. Whether Justly
or not he has been classed as one of
these men who thought that the great
est use which Montana land could be
sheep; and it has even been suggested
that he took that view because he was
interested in having Montana remain
grazing state.
Evidently an injustice has been done
Mr.. Power in this matter. Either
that or he has changed mis- mind on
this proposition of late. Whichever it
may be it is most satisfactory to find
him taking the position he now does,
and talking vigorously to the people
Of the east about the possibilities of
agriculture in this state, and the OPP
portunities that are offered here to the
Tribune.

figures asked during the time of high
prices. One of the chief causes for the
decline in the value of land in the east
appears to be loss of fertility in the
land itself, due, perhaps, to careless
farming. In the central and western
states there appears to be no such
marked decline in farm values as in
the east. In the northwest lands seem
to have been increasing in value, and
IN some localities to very marked de-
gree. Farm laborers seem to have
profited more in the past few years
than their employers. While farm
work is rendered less severe than for

cry, wages have risen. Farm laborers
are declared to be as we'll off as their

second later a wild-eyed girl with a
flaming pyre on her Uranium was

hair had followed the missing comb,
