THE REASON FOR r

The Butte Inter Mountains advice
that western municipalities cease bor-
rowing money from the east is timely
and good. but it is extremely doubtful
whether it will receive the attention it
merits. The force of habit in this re-
gard has grown SO strong with west
ecn people that it has become a part
OF their nature. The time was when
it was absolutely necessary for west
ern political bodies having bonds to
sell to look to the eastern money cen-
tiers for their disposition, and that
time was of long duration, and the
practice has SO grown upon them that
they continue it, Notwithstanding that
altered conditions have made continu-
ance Of the custom unnecessary. 1t
is SO easy to "1oat" bonds in the east,
particularly in New York and Boston,
that the impulse to turn in that direc-
ton whenever any money is needed
for a public improvement is well nigh
irresistible.
But there is another consideration
which our Butte contemporary over.

Buffalo Express: The German pre-
served meat dealers are organizing
tt cir efforts to influence the govern
Ient to rescind the recent decree re-
specting the use of preservatives in
meat. Hardly a day passes when some
new information does nOtcome to light
regarding the use of borax in Ger
many. Yesterday it was announced
that much, if not all, the meat used
on German warships is prepared with
borax. The German government
struck a hard blow at domestic indus
tries in trying to reach American pro-
ducts.

The Daily Gazette Will Have DOUBLED

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
That The Gazette struck a popular
chord when it reduced it's subscription
price to so cents a month by carrier
service is fully demonstrated by the
way subscriptions are being added to
the list. In the last two days W. 100
names have been enrolled from the
south side of town, and the canvass in

ed to dozens of families in that part
of the city who have never before
been subscribers to a daily newspa-
per. They have taken advantage OF
the cheapness Of The Daily Gazette,
which at the same time furnishes a
paper containing all the news at an
hour when the heads of the family
find time to read it.
At the rate subscriptions are rolling
in The Gazette carriers list will cas-
lily be doubled by Saturday night as
compared with the list a week ago
BY that time hardly S per cent OF
the homes in the city will be without
the daily evening paper.
In view of the fact that The Gazette
is now fully covering a field hereto
fore not reached by any newspaper
it desires to call attention to the ex
cellent opportunity the paper presents
as an advertising medium to Local
merchants. No better plan to reach
the people is presented than that OF
a widely circulated newspaper. The
Daily Gazette will bring results tC
the wide-awake and persistent adver
tiser.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
A gentleman named Brady, from
near Thermopolis, Wye, spent last
night i'll the city. He was acting as
scout for a party from the same local
ity who have made up their minds to
leave Wyoming and seek a more con
genial place Of settlement, in this
state, if possible. He and the others
are engaged in stock raising and farm
ing and he said that because Of the
ever growing number Of sheepmen
who are invading that part CT the Big
Horn basin the cattlemen are finding
it more difficult with each succeeding
season to find range for their herds
and that they have to accept one of
two alternatives dispose of their cat
tie or leave the country. The party
which he represented chose the lat

While not fully decided as to where
he would go, Mr.. Brady said he would

could concerning the prospects for
men of his. business along the line of
the Great Northern. He expected to
look over the country about Libby and
probably also acros the line in east
ern Washington with a possibility Of
going over into Canada, as he and the
rest had heard and read a great deal
about Alberta as a land holding out
much to small herdsmen and farmers.

the condition of stock in their re
spective districts were heard. State
Veterinarian DIR. M. E. Knowles made
a report and the appointment of lie
additional inspectors was decided
upon.
Will Appoint More Inspectors.
Desirable men for the positions were
spoken of and their appointment left
to the president, secretary and the
commissioners from the respective
counties where they are wanted. They
will all be appointed about May 1, so
that they may assume their duties at
once. These inspectors will do duty
during the summer and fall, when the
shipping eason is on, and will serve
in addition to the regular stock in
spectors who are employed by the
commissioners throughout the state.
The duties of the inspectors are to
apprehend cattle thieves, secure evil
dence for their arrest and conviction,
inspect shipments for disease and for
strays.
The counties which applied for the
inspectors and in which they will be
appointed are: Broadwater, Jeffer-
son, Meagher, Cascade and Dawson.
One inspector will be appointed for
the counties of Silver Bow, Powell
and Deer Lodge; n for Missoula
and Beaverhead, and n for Yellow
stone and Sweet Grass.
Health Of Livestock Good.
DR.. NJ. E. Knowles, state venteri-
marian, made an oral report of the con-
dition of cattle and horses throughout
the state. He said that the sanitary
condition was good and that he knew
of no bad disease anywhere. He stat
ed that vaccine was being generally
used for blackleg and that he had
been appointed distributing agent for
it in Montana. 1t can be secured by
anyone in the state free of charge by
application to him.
Those present were: F. P. Fleming,
Dawson county; F. J. Keene, Broad
water; Oscar Stephens, Fergus; NJ.
Barrett, Beaverhead; J.. w. Saunders,
Madison; John Flaherty, Jefferson;
Jacob Sieben, Cascade; w. K. Flower

M. 3. Miner, Valley; John B. Bielen-
berg, Powell; j. T. Brown, Rosebud;
j. N. Kelly, Sweet Grass and W. G.
Preuitt, secretary.
Mr.. Miner stated that the Shonkin
range in northern Montana was not in
good condition and that he was
afraid that the ranges in Teton and
Choteau counties would suffer from
a drouth unless considerable rain falls.

FRIDAY, APRIL II, 1902.
NEW CAUSE Of HOPE.

In the language of the street seem
ingly something is doing" along the
line of a realization of the hope of the
people of Billings and these of the
tiers in the construction of the long
wished for and sometime promised
railroad having for its southern termi'
nus the capital of Yellowstone coun.
ty. 1t is true that between organizing
a company having for it's object con-
summation of such a proposition and
the actual building and operation of
a line Of railroad is a far cry and that
many companies are organized that
never lay a mile of track, the truth,
nevertheless, remains that in the pres
ent instance there seems to be a tangi-
BILE basis upon which to build the hope
that inspires SO many of the eastern
and northeastern portions Of the
state.
The fact that men prominently
identified with the parent of the
prospective offspring are it's sponsors
gives good reason for the hope and be-
lief that something o tangible
than a mere organization on paper
will follow the movement now on foot
for building, constructing and equip
ping the Billings & Northern railroad
While it is true that to all intents and
pose the Burlington has abandon
ed the work it has been doing during
the winter months in the way of sur
veying a line for a railroad between
this city and Great Falls, it is hard to
conceive that such abandonment shall
be final. 1t has been held in some
quarters that the fight now making on
the merger in Minnesota and Wash
1ngton, and the moral and material
support given in this and other states
to those heading the fight and the pos
slbility of a decision adverse to the
railroad companies interested has
caused a material change of plans
formulated at the time when the "com-
n.uuity of interests scheme began to
assume a concrete form. One of the
changes, it has been claimed, is in
connection with the proposed extern
sion of the Burlington in a northwest
elm direction to ome point affOrding
a junction with the Great Northern;
and that in consequence of this change
the project has been given up.
Strength was given to this report
when the Burlington apparently
abandoned the. field by withdrawing
it's engineering corps and stopping
such other preliminary work as it had
undertaken toward actual construc-
ton. Now, however, that seemingly
the same company, only under another
name, is again in the field a
allie ground is afforded upon which
to base the belief that no matter what
the past intention may have been, it
has been reconsidered and that, after
all, the original design is to be carried
into effect. At least let us hope such
is really the case and that the long
period of doubt and fear is about to
be ended and ended as we would have
tin the construction Of a line of
railroad that will bring this commun-
ity in actual touch with the rich and
glowing sections to the north and
northwest and whose natural outlet is
here.

MAY NOT STAND THE TEST.

Although the dairy people have the
better of the argument thus far and
are congratulating themselves on the
victory won by them, it cannot be said
that the fight is over and the victory
won by them full and complete. Men
who are considered high authorities
on questions CT constitutional law
have given it as their opinion that the
so-called Interchangeable bill just
passed is unconstitutional. They say
that the bill provides for a law that
clearly taxes one commodity at the
expense of another. If their view,
and it seems a just and proper one,
IS right the manufacturers of the in
terdicted article may take the matter
into the courts. In that event it is
not an absolute certainly that the de-
cision will be as the diarymen would
like to have it.
If the measure becomes a, law the
greatest sufferers will be the laboring
classes and poorer people of the east,
who are the greatest consumers of
oleomargarine and butterine, who buy
those articles for what they are and
are we'll satisfied. The substitutes
for a more expensive article of food,
while cheaper are non the less whole
some and palatable and by taxing
them out of existence those who have
heretofore used them will find them
selves driven to the alternative of eat
ing their bread dry. Their incomes
are not great enough to permit them
to use the thing which finds sale on so
many counters of the country under
the guise of "pure creamery butter"
Some of the state newspapers are
1earnedly and dignifiedly discussing
the propriety of filling to the hilarious
point with whiskey a man who is
about to be hanged. Some of them in
cline to consider such an act as but
little short of sacrilegious, while
others, more charitable, say it is all
right, as the man so filled up is not
likely to commit any serious breach
of the peace and makes it easier for
him to take what is coming. Mean
