MAKE STILL

Strong as no doubt Senator Gibson
may consider the arguments he has
to advance in support of his bill for
the establishment of a new land dis
trict in Montana. with Great Falls as
It's headquarters, they are no stronger
Or more reasonable than those which
can be advanced in favor of a like
move looking toward Billings as the
headquarters of another district.
While not wishing to appear as all
%tagonizing the claims of Great Falls,
The Gazette, cannot, nevertheless,
subscribe to the statement made in
furthering the claims of that city that
"the great bulk of farming lands
which are likely to be occupied by
settlers during the next few years are
located in the country round about
Great Falls" Public lands %suscepti-
BILE of cultivation and comprising n
territory fully as large as that claim
ed to be located tributary to Great
Falls is to be found south of that city
and at such a distance that it would
be stretching things to say Great
Falls is the natural point at which
a land office should be established for
the convenience of expected and DOS
sible settlers. At present this i'm
mense section is parceled out for
land office purposes between
Lewistown, Miles City and Bozeman,
either N of which is situated at a
great distance from the land itself. It
is true that the law gives the entry
men the right to make entries, prove
up, and defend contests before the
clerks of the district courts. and while
this may in a cas- be all that is
necessary it is not as satisfactory to
the parties at interest as though they
could transact their business with
the register and receiver direct.
Vast as is the territory of which
Billings may be justly considered the
center and which should constitute
a separate land district with a land
office at this point, it is only reason
able to believe that the time is near
at hand when it will be increased in
extent by the addition of coded lands
now held by the Crow Indians. Every
indication seems to point to favorable |
consideration of Senator Clark's bill
II IN the event of the success of that
measure an immense area of new
lands will be open to the settler who
may care to avail himself
OF the laws of the coun-
try and secure a home. Because of its
location the bulk Of that land will be
embraced in the territory of which
this city is the center and a land Of
fee at this place will become all the
more essential. Of the benefits which
such an institution would be to the
city itself it is unnecessary to speak.
They are apparent to all who care to
give the matter even the most cursorv
thought and study.
The Gazette hopes that the gentle
with whom Senator Clark has
c~orresponded in regard to the matter
of opening the reservation and from
he has requested such sugges-
tons as they may care to offer, will

Grafton, in view of the past partiality
shown by the state board Of eoualiza4
ton in fixing the assessments of the
railroads, yet it is to be regretted that
the assessors could not have seen
their way clear to make such recon
mendatlons as were embodied in the
resolutions offered at the last day of
their meeting. 1t might have resulted
in giving the board an insight into the
manner in which their treatment of
the roads is regarded by the people,
il nothing more. Although it may be
hoping too much, it is barely possible,
that when the board meets for the
purpose of fixing the next assessment
it may have heard of the valuation
placed by the different companies
upon their roads per mile when they
turned them owe as collateral for
the bonds issued by the Securities
company and raise the valuations Just
a trif1e to make good the claims made
by the different companies and thus
relieve them of the suspicion which
might otherwise attach to them of
having gold bricked the securities peo.

cation the effect will be more than
equivalent to the opening to settle
ment of a naturally watered area
twice as large as Minnesota. The set
Element and development of such a
region means a large increase in pop
ulation, an immense addition to ma
tlonal wealth and a very important
contribution to the continuation
Of that Astounding, throbbing prosper

accustomed.

MORE RICH
Pay Streak on One Creek Traced for
% Miles.

Seattle, Feb. 3.-Advices from Ram
part give some wonderful accounts Of
the new Koyukuk district of which
BEETLES City is the commercial cen
ter. The four creeks in the district
have attracted great prominence from
their rich mines. They are Lane, Oh
sen, Hoglund and Glen. OF the four
Lane is the most noteworthy. A min
er picked out a nugget worth $6O1
and other pans average from 81 to 20.
These creeks, it is asserted, will
prove as rich as the Klondike. The
pay streak in Glen creek has been
traced as far as % miles believe Eu-
reka.

With Senator Clark assuring the
president that such an appointment
would be highly acceptable to him.
it is more than likely that the gen.
positioned George w. Irwin will again
be named as Buttte's postmaster,
much as certain other gentlemen
would like the plum for themselves.

Miss Stone regrets to announce
that once more the story of her re.

ever. she begs to assure her friends
that while there is life there is hope.
and if the former is vouchsafed her
long enough the latter mey yet be pos
sible of fruition and her release from
the enforced company of those horrid
men become an actuality.

It hardly needed tie official denial
from Berlin to satisfy the people
OF this country that the story sem
out from Vienna relative to the sale of
the Philippines to Germany was an
absurd canard. Much as many of the
American nation may wish that we
had never acquired the archipelago,
from our control to that of some Eu-
1opean power. Even if we did wish
to place the islands on the remnant
many would be a bidder for them.
