No person, firm. or corporation
shall engage or continue in the bust
importing fruit trees. plants or nurs-

Under the law. it is a misdemeanor
tor any person to take from the post

spector will strictly enforce the law.
An express company, railway COM
pany or stage company may not de-
liver any nursery stock unless the
il spector's tag shall be attached
While it is impossible to prevent the
delivery of stock that may come by
mail, the law does authorize the pun
ishment of any person who may re-
ceive uninspected stock by mail. and
the inspector has means of ascer-
tanning who may receive nursery
stock by mail. and will prosecute in
all cases where the law may be vio-
olated.
Under the law, the term nurserv
sock is construed to mean ard in

buds, scions, cuttings, or other por-

signed to be replanted in Montana

now being received by mail, and the
inspectors hope that all consignees
will comply with the law and avoid
trouble
The new law prevents the doing of
business in the state Of irresponsible
agents for: nurseries. requiring all to
be licensed, and there is now no rea-
son why infected stock should be

Government Ownership and Strikes.


If government ownership of rail

ownership helped to bring it to a

toward the strike was amazingly diff

CUstomed when corporations are con

the railroad strike, and tried to help
it with general strike: but the lat

German Tourists.

Montana Farmers and rancherS are
awaiting with great interest the com
ing of AZ German agricubtursts, who
are to be sent over by the German
government to make a tour of inspec-
on of the United States.
Among the party are some of the
nobility, and all of them are eminent
agriculturlsts, who have made life
study of the art of growing things.
While no official notice of their
visit to this state has been received,
it has been informally announced to
enc or two of the more prominent
farmers and ranchers, and prepare
tions are being made to receive them
properly when they arrive.
The party is expected to arrive in
New York May |, The members will
travel by a southern route to Cali
forna, up the Pacific Coast and re-
turn east by way of Montana.
They expect to be in this state
about two weeks, during which time
they will travel TO all points of inter
est, paying particular attention to
the agricultural sections.
The party will first visit Hamilton
and the Bitter Root section. then
Bozeman, Livingston, Dillon and
other towns in the southern part of
Montana.
The members Of the party have an
nounced their intention OF coming to
Butte to see the great mining camp;
for, while it does not contain much

the distinction OF being just about the

Nav 80.

E. S. Greenhalge, who has inter-
ested himself particularly in the col
lection of a monument fund for Con-
ductor Mike Sweeney's burial place,
states than an amount has been sub
scribed by railroad men and citizens
o. Xalispell to purchase a handsome
granite shaft. 1t is the intention to
have inscribed upon side of the shaft
the name and date of birth and death
o. the lamented conductor. On the
reverse, a short description of the
manner in which he died and this
legend from Holy Writ:
Greater love hath no man than
this: that he lay down his life for a
friend"
The monument will be properly
dedicated on Memorial day. on which
occasion it is expected that the rail
road orders will turn out in force to
dc honor to their brave, departed
comrade.
It will be remembered that Mike
Sweeney was drowned near Essex,
June q, last, while endeavoring to
swim the river to assist two cast
Always, one of whom was the opera
tor at Essex. Mr.. Greenhalge and
ether conductors, who knew Sweeny
well, took the matter of raising a

and raised something like $500 for
the purpose Of marking poor Mike
Sweeny's resting place in the De-

Pleads for Fair Play.

Recently, at a banquet held in

berg was an invited guest and was
received with an enthusiastic greet
irs, His entertainers were members
Of the Hartford Yacht club, and the
guest met with hearty reception
He thanked the members of the club
fol the honor they had done him and,
among other things, made the follow
irg happy remarks concerning the re-
Lotions of Germany and the United
States:
You have just spoken of Germany
as your keen and able rival in com
rierce and in industry. am de-
Lighted to hear this It is keen riv-
airy which produces great men and
q eat races. and which has given the
people of the United States and of
Germany so much in common.
The days are no more when the

armies and navies turned into great
training schools, in which we teach
oul sons those qualities which they
need more than ever, just as much in
the struggles of peace as in the
struggles of war and without which
commercial and industrial supremacy
rever can be attained Above all, it
il the love of the sea and its dangers
which breeds virile race, the devel-
opment of which your institiOns
and ours, gentlemen, are constantly
fostering.
Nobody understood this better
than the German emperor when he

already powerful army. 1t was to

Your words of praise for the Ger
man army and navy heartily recip-
rocate. The navy of the United
States now commands the admira-
ton of the nations, its fighters and
writer's, it's material and the person

sized Americas position as great
v orld power.
II hope that the relations between
our two great nations may grow
closer and friendlier. We ask for
what you ask-fair play and good
will. Rivalry we need. rivalry we
want. But let us hope that in all our
future commercial and industrial
contests the same love of fair play

and which has found SO strong an ex-
