AGAINST FOREST RESERVES

In the United States court at
Helena, Mont, Judge Knowles de-
cided Monday that the president
has no right to set apart lands as
forest reserves which are subject TO
entry and settlement under the
homestead laws. The case was that
of the Lake Como forest reserve, in
volving fifteen townships, on which
one homesteader had cut $26 worth
of logs.

Just One Thought.

Nearly every person living in
Brownsville, and more especially of
the well-to-do class, has near rela-
tives, perhaps son, daughter,
sister, brother, or other loved ones,
residing at some distant point.
Many of our people send their chill
dren away to school, and are thus
separated from their dearest ones
for long periods. Sickness, disaster,
even death, may befall these distant
loved ones at any moment, and
naturally our first thought would
be to go to them. What agony
must we then endure, knowing that
toilsome two days stage ride, amp
a nights stay at Alice must inter-
vene before we could get on train
to take us to them. If dangerously
i'll or hurt, our loved ones
might die before we could reach
them. Who that has suffered this
agony, that has had their loved
ones i'll and suffering, conveyed by
stage, or awaiting the steamer to be
tossed on the Gulf for twenty-four
hours or more, either coming home
or going away for treatment, can be
any longer reconciled to the great
deprivation of being without a rail-
road, when the opportunity to get
one so speedily is offered them?
None can know what day the
telegraph may bring them tidings
of illness or disaster to distant
ones. And if there be any that
have no loved ones that are away,
then sympathy for others should
move them to do their best to secure
a railroad, that will give US quick
transportation TO any point Just
this one thought alone should in
duce our people to move heaven
and earth to secure the railroad.

THE MISTAKEN OPPONENTS
OF A RAILROAD.


to any friends of progress, there are
some persons in Brownsville who
actually do not wish to have rail-
road built to this place. The num-
Der is not large, fortunately, yet
some Of them are persons OF in
fuence or means. Their reasons for
opposing this great enterprise, which
means so much for this entire Sec
ton. as we'll as for Brownsville,
can be described only as selfish and
short sighted, though some OF them
are very worthy persons. They in
clude some who do a certain amount
OF business which grows strictly out
OF the fact that Brownsville has no
railroad, and who think they may
lose some $50 or $50 per month, in
case the isolated and dependent
condition of Brownsville should be
relieved by the coming of railroad.
Yet some of these same persons
own property that is now vacant,
OF bringing nominal rent, which,
with a railroad, they could easily
rent for more than the amount they
may lose otherwise, besides which
shev should take into account the
other business openings which the
construction of the road would af-
ford to them and to their relatives
and friends. Then, there are mer-
chants who fear that the railroad
may bring in competitors who may
deprive them OF some trade, forget
ting that for one competitor there
will be hundreds of newcomers in
other lines of business who will be
as likely to trade with the old as
the new merchants, while their
present custom will be more than
doubled by reason of the greater
amount of money in circulation.
1t has been the experience of other
towns that the first to profit by the
coming of a railroad are the old es-
tablished merchants. Then there are
others, who are afraid that rail-
road will create demand for labor,
and they may have to pay little
more for their servants or other
help, which is very likely, but they
will have much more money with
which to pay their labor. The
enhancement of their property by
fully a hundred per cent ofits pres
ent value, the opportunities for
themselves and families to make
money, which will result from the
railroad, will enable them to pay
more for help. There are others who
for reasons best known to them
selves are opposed to the railroad.
As all must admit, every one of
these is actuated by selfish and
narrow motives. All acknowledge
that a railroad will benefit the en-
tire country, give employment to
all, bring new life here, improve
business in all lines, putting into
circulation many times the money
now in circulation, and in every
way benefit the general public. 1t
is therefore difficult to understand
how any can be so narrow-minded
anu so selfish, as to wish to keep
this entire town and county down,
to check development, to keep our
poor people as poor as ever, to see
our boys forced to leave home to
seek employment, for their own
selfish designs. 1t is not to be doubt
ed, however, that, if the subject be
put before these people in its true
light, they will change their atti-
tude, and turn in and work for the
railroad. The great majority of our
people, happily, are heartily in fav-
or Of the rnad aud rill do tho;r

The bonus must and will be
raised. Brownsville will never let
go such splendid opportunity to
get the long hoped Tor railroad.
Our citizens have taken hold of
the matter in the right spirit and
there can be no doubt about their
success.

Miss Bryan Good Example.

There is a lesson of vast import to the
young womanhood of the land IN the an.
nouncement that the 19-year-old daugh-
ter of William Jennings Bryan is to en-
gage in charity work in Chicago
Miss Bryan occupies a position which
not one girl III thousand would re
llnquish for the hard, unattractive, thank
less labors of a dispenser of charity
among the poorest classes. She is the
daughter of a man of great prominence
who has amassed some little wealth as
well as fame There is no reason why
she should leave her home and engage in
the work in behalf of the sum jewellers
Of Chicago, except the broad ore that she
loves humanity and is anxious to serve
her fellows.
She will leave life of ease for one
which has few compensatlng features.
save the consciousness of duty well per
formed. She will isolate herself from
her family and friends. She wilt. in short.
give up practically everything the aver
age girl holds dear and all because she
thinks she may do good to humanity.
Too much credit and commentator car
not be given Miss Bryan for the step she
has elected to take, even though the re
suit of her work are not wholly salts
factory. 1t is to be earnestly hoped that
the ease loving, pleasure pursuing, pur-
poseless young women OF the country may
Profit by her example.
