Weighed and Found SpOutine.

When the Seventh Legislative assem-
bly,, which was democratic in both
branches, adjourned its running ex-
penses, including everything, footed
up to about So, 900. Having practi-
Cally no other state issue, the repub-
lican party took up the matter, charg-
ing unwarranted extravaganza and
lncompetency on the part of the demo-

theme furnished the principal argu-
ment of the republican spellbinders.

As to incorporation.

During the past few weeks consider
able talk has been prevalent about
Forsyth concerning the proposition of
Incorporating the town, and to satisfy
our credulty as to the real sentiments
OF our citizens in the matter, a News
representative called upon ma jority
of the business men and property hold
ers Monday for an expression of their
concensus of opinion that much good
is to be derived from the organization
of a municipality, there exists diver
sity of opinion as to when this should
be done. Some, for political reasons,
and others for business reasons, be-
leve that the time has not arrived
when franchise for city government
should be sought for, and there are
those, of course, who maintain that
there is no time like the present.
The most reasonable argument at
present seems to be that advanced by
those opposing the movement. They
insist that the town is not possessed of
the taxable wealth and population to
warrant incorporation without over
taxing the holders of property and
demanding license from those who
at the present writing might find it not
at their liberty to pay.
Those in favor of the project contend
that the fines collected would be suffi-
cient to pay the running expenses of
the municipality, but this is looked
upon by many as mere speculation,
and at this time it seems improbable
If sufficient support of the proposition
could be mustered to cause our citizens
to give it any serious consideration.

VERNE II. BEEMAN, Editor

once more and everything would b.
changed. Owing to the peculiar polit
ical conditions then existing and the
fractional fights within the democratic
party, the republicans succeeded If
carrying the Legislature.
Now they had chance to work
wonders! The Helena Record, Ton
Carter, Little Joe Dixon and other re.
publican leaders suggested the short
ening of the Legislative session tc
thirty days and the reduction of the
running expenses to less than one-halt
what the previous democratic legisla-
ture spent upon itself
But behold the record! The thirty
days session IDEA was abandoned
practically as soon as the legislature
convened. 1t was regarded even by
the republican leaders as an lmpracti-
cability and some frankly admitted
that it merely served as political bun
combe and campaign thunder. But
this is not all, or even half of it. The
much heralded reduction in the run
ming expenses of the legislature not
only failed to materialize but our re-
publican friends succeeded in estab-
fishing another highwater mark record
for political extravaganza. Instead of
the $4,000 spent by the last demo-
cratic legislature, and which was re-
garded as scandalously high, the pres
ent Legislature managed to spend
somewhere between $50, 900 and 800, 600
upon itself.
This is economy and reform with a
vengeance. Political history in Mon
tana simply repeats itself. The re-
publican party never had control of
the state or any of it's departments of
government without making for itself a
record of extravaganza and incompe-
tency. Fortunately, however, repub-
lican control of Montana occurs only
at rare intervals. and as the result of
peculiar conditions and democratic fac
tional fights. Another republican
victory in Montana is not likely to
happen for some years. Dillon EX-

day Afternoon.

Henry Spoorhouse, John Lem
low and Win. Wilson, three farm
ers from the town of Buena
Vista, were in justice court yes
terday and pleaded not guilty to
a charge of larceny committed in
stealing the carcasses. of two
deer from the shack of two hunt
ers named Wilson and Bryant at
Buena Vista. Several witnesses
were examined, Soren Soren-
son, the son of Judge Sorenson,
among others. Sorenson swore
that he saw two of the men take
the deer away and that he had
been present at the abin when
the theft occurred. He also stat
ed that it had been planned be-
fore it was executed and two
more men had been sentout with
the Messrs. Liedal and Rosen-
berg, who indict the complaint,
to keep them in the woods. The
case seems to be a complicated
affair. An adjournment was
taken until Monday to allow the
defendants time to secure testi-
mony. They interposed no evi-
dence at the examination yester-
day. Chas. Stangler, the New
Ulm man implicated in the theft,
waived examination and was
bound over to the grand jury.

Rev. r. H. Higgins, perhaps as

superintendent of the logging
camp mission under the super
vision of the evangelical commit

During the present winter he
has six assistants who have been
assigned to territories that cover
the numbering districts in every
section of the state. He has a
wide personal acq uaintance with
the lum herman and is a welcome
guest at almost every camp IN
the state. He is always we'll re-
ceived and enters into the work
with a commendable zeal and a
sincerity that has gained for him
universal respect.

Mr.. Higgins plans a vigorous
winters work this season. He
and his dog team will be busy
carrying the gospel into the pine
forests of this section until the
camps break up in the spring.
Regarding his trip to the range
Mr.. Higgins says that he enjoyed
it. very much. He visited all the
camps in the vicinity Of Hibbing,
Scanlon and Swan River.
LAUNDERING operations are well
under way but there are a large
mum Der OF idle men in the coun-
try up that way. Mr.. Higgins
says there will be a vast change
in the woods this winter. Jobs
are not plentiful as they were
last year and most Of the men
who go in now will remain until
camp breaks up in the spring.
Tonight Mr.. Higgins leaves for
Kelliher. He will spend the
greater part of next week in the
camps in that vicinity.

STILL MISSING
Mystery Surrounding Disappear
ance, of CroOkston Girl
Never UnraYtled.

With the arrival of December
the disappearance of Miss strass-
burger is brought to mind. Just
a year ago last evening she dis
appeared while skating with a
crowd Of young people near the
Carman bridge and from that
time to this no trace or clue as to
her whereabouts or the manner
Of her leaving have never been
discovered. It was thought at
that time that she had fallen into
a hole in the ice and had been
drowned, and her parents are
still of the opinion that she is not
in the land of the living. The
case attracted national attention
and was discussed from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Large re-
wards were offered by a commit
tee of citizens and by the city
for information leading either to
her recovery or the arrest and
conviction of the party or paroles
implicated in her disappearance.
Detectives worked on the case
for weeks without result and a
hypnotist and mind reader spent
a week or more examining the
dark recesses and cavities of the
frozen river only to confess that
the neither world was not assist
ing him in finding the body. Re
ports came in from police officials
all over the northwest claiming
to have news of her whereabouts
and seeking the rewards. Every
rulnor and clue found was run to
earth without discovering the
slightest sign of the missing
Gertie. During the past year
no word mas been received by her
parents or the police department.
and the disappearance is as
great mystery as ever if not
greater.
