A COUNTY SEAT FIGHT.
The Court House Bond Question Will
PrecipItate County Seat Fight.

The board Of commissioners of SAN
born county have ordered an election to
be held at the time of the election of
township officers, next March, to de-
eide whether the people of Sanborn
county are willing are not to have bonds
issued for the purpose of building a
court house. The question bids fair 10
cause another county seat fight in the
county, as the citizens of the east side
are not willing to have Woonsocket re-
tain the county seat, as she secured IT
by most suspiciously fraudulent meth
DDS. Artesian citizens would like to
have the county seat located in their
town, and one substantial business man
offered to give 5000 toward new
court house building if IL was built in
Artesian. But it remains to be seen
what the voters will do.

to the formation of the Northern Se-

reason far more simple than has gem

Mrs. f. a. Kiplirger of Vermillion
writes TO the governor tlIat she is in
possession of what she believes TO be
the first American flag ever manufac-
tured and raised within the borders Of
what is now South Dakota. The flag
was manufactured about 1867, by Mrs.
Jacob Kiplinger, from materials pur-
chased by her husband, Mr.. Jacob Kip
finger. The old relic was used for years
at Fourth of July celebrations and pic.
mics in that part OF the state, and, while
somewhat tattered from long use, it has
q historical value Mrs. Kiplinger de-
slres to know If the state has any place
to store such a relic, and evidently de-
sires to have II preserved. For that
purpose Il should be placed in the state
historical society's collection, which has
a place i'm the state house At Pierre.

SENATOR GIBSON OF MONTANA
Thinks the Merger Cannot BE Detri-
mental to the Interests OF Mon


Great Falls, Mont. Jan. 17-United
states Senator Paris Gihsn n, in response
TO query as to his sentiments. on the
question OF the railroad merger, has
made the following reply
"As l am not a lawyet I will venture
no opinion as TO tie leEIl rights of the
Northern Securities company. What we
In Montana wish to know is the effect
that this control Of stockwill have upon
our state. IL seems To me improbable
that under this railwaymerger the in
Gustries of the NorthEegg will be in
any manner crippled. cannot see
where a harmony of railway interests
would be detrimental 90 US. on the
contrary. it is my belief that, more than
ever before, it would be the desire of
the railway companies TO build up the
farming. mining and manufacturing in
dustrieS OF our state.
Progressive Rate Reductions.
THE railway comp2 nies doing bust
ness In Montana are t9kng a more live
ly interest than ever before I'm the set
tlcment of the state and I'm the subject
Of national aid TO irrigation, which is
the real foundation for our future pros
perity.
For many years past the Great
Northern Railway company has reduced
it's Western freight tariffs from time to
time, clearly on the theory that such
reduction would tend 10 the upbuilding
OF the country. and, consequently. to
Increase its freight tonnage. 1t is sim
ply absurd TO contend that the Great
Northern. Northern Pacific and Bur-
lington companie,s would use great eff
forts to establish farm colonies and
manufacturing interests along their
lines and then impose a rate on grain
anS manufactured products that would
destroy or cripple the farms and the
mills. We should not forget that II IS
for the interest OF these railways that
Montana should have more people,
more farms. more productive mines and
more cattle and sheep than it has ever
had before"

his report with the governor, and at the
same time turned into the treasury ST.
157. IS. collected in excess Of salaries and
expenses. The amount turned i'm last
year was S22974. The Inspector an
swers the many criticisms which have
been aimed at him for the poor quality
Vt the oil i'm the state, and lays the
blame on the legislature. He says:
THE inspection law, to say the least,
is simply "a bIrlesque, In that the poor
inspector is made the target for all
sorts of abuse from all corners OF the
state, and from all classes of people,
who will not as much as acquaint them
selves with the existing laws which, II
they did, would certainly moderate their
generous expressions Of abuse.
And as long as the large majority or
our legislators allow themselves to be
caioled into voting in the interests or
rncnopolles and trusts, there will be no
relief from the present conditions,
What the state wants is q law not ham
pered with scientific technicalities. but
a law as plain as possible and to the
point.
"T am not surprised, however, nj
many of our legislators becoming con-
fused over some of the measures intro
duCed In the past upon the question OF
oil inspection. If our next legislative
body is wise, Il will enact a law with a
quality Of gravity test, in addition TO
the present flash test which, II made
high enough, in my estimation, win be
of relief"
