STATE OF MONTANA AS LAND
OWNER.
REVENUE FROM VAST AREA
Leased Acres Annually Contribute
Immense Sums to Various
Public Institutions.

When it comes to the matter OF
landlordism the state of Montana as
a landed owner can discount any of
the barons of the European countries
whose holdings are popularity sup
posed to be of vast extent. Just how
many acres the commonwealth owns
is not at hand, but a fair idea of the
immensely of the area covered by
them may be formed from a statement
just prepared by the register of the
state land Office showing the amount
of land leased by the state to various
persons and firms. On the first OF
the present month the total almost
reached the astounding figure of g.
100000 acres, from which the state
derives annual rentals amounting to
$193, 1OO.16.
An Increase Shown.
The statement shows an increase
over the figures contained in the
statement issued a few months ago,
and the area is constantly expanding,
as new leases are entered into every
time a public land sale is held.
Of the different grants that to the
schools has the greatest number Of
acres leased, the aggregate being
nearly a million and a half. Next
comes the agricultural college income
lands, of which nearly $4,000 acres
are Occupied by tenants.

BRIGHTER LOOK EACH DAY.
Business Houses Opening and Mills
Resuninu Work.


Topeka. Kan, June 15.-Matters in the
flooded district in this locality have a
brighter look day by day. Business houses
are being opened mills are resuming
work and people are rapidly returning TO
their homes, a large number of which
have now been made habitable.
RELIEF WORK COMMITTEE SAYS
The committee cannot undertake to
make good losses sustained by the flood,
but only 10 relieve actual necessities and
distress.
GOVERNOR TO CONFER.
Topeka, Kan. June -5.-Governor Bal
ley, a majority of the executive council
and several of the representative business
men Of Topeka will go 10 Kansas City
this afternoon. Their object is to con-
fer with committees of Kansas City and
Wyandotte county business men in re-
gard TO the bridge problem and the spe-
ciaI session OF the legislature.
Governor Bailey says the situation is
now assuming a much more cheerful as
pect over Kansas and that he hopes that
the asked for aid for the flood suffer
ing districts will be alleviated without re
course to a special session The governor
stated today that he had plan in mind
for the solution Of the troubles which he
thought would avoid the calling of a spc-
cial session. He added. however. that he
did not care TO make it public until after
this evenings conference.

Kansas City, Mo, June 15.-Edward T.
Devine. general secretary Of the Charity
Organization society Of New York city.
left today for Denver, after having made
a critical inspection of the flooded dis
trict around Kansas City. He describes
the conditions at Armourdaie, the Kan
sas City. Kans., suburb, which received
the brunt of the flood here. as worse than
those following the foods at Johnstown
and Galveston. He said:
"Armourdale is the worst wrecked city
] hav eever seen. The newspapers could
not have exaggerated the condition. In
fact, it cannot be described. \ person
who has not seen the ruin cannot realize
the awful devastation by the waters. 1
had read about the food and thought Of
course that the condition of Armourdale
was bad, but l was not prepared for what
saw
] was at the Johnstown food l also
made a study Of the terrible disaster that
visited the city of Galveston. but the
condition Of Armourdale is much more
serious than at either of those cities. East
ST Louis is suffering and 10000 people are
homeless. but the loss there will not be-
gin 70 compare with that in Armourdale.
Mr.. Devine has wired Mayor Low that
immediate aid in the largest quantities
possible viii he required to alleviate the
distress Of the flood sufferers now quarter
ed in Kansas City. Kan

THROWN FROM THE TRAIN.
Says Two Tramps Robbed Him of His
Cash.

Winfield. Kan. June 15.-Policen1an
Nichols has taken in charge a wounded
man who gave his name as Frank Lewis.
Lewis had a bullet hole through his
shoulder He says he got on the south
bound Santa Fe freight at Douglas. He
was riding in a box car with two tramps.
Just before the train reached Akron one
OF the fellows shot him and about 80
was taken fro mhim and he was thrown
from the train. He says he then walked
to this city, reaching here about mid
night He told the officers here that the
men who robbed him were white men.
The telephone agent at Akron says ne
saw Lewis pass through the town and
that Lewis told him the men We're all
colored. No trace has yet been found
of them Lewis is now at the county
Jail. He has been attended by the county
physician who SAYS the wound is not
serious. He claims TO be a printer and
says he has been working on the Doug
las Tribune. His home is in Illinois The
officers here are rather suspicious Of
the mans story. and are inclined to think
he received the wound in a different
manner from the way he tells.

IN|NE DEMAND BIG
Penitentiary Plant Puts Out a
Large Amount
FLOOD RUINS TRUST TWINE
Warden Jewett Comments on
the Situation

Leavenworth. Kan, June 15.-Although
the output of the binding Irvine plant at
the state penitentiary this year VIII be
at least 2.o00oo pounds, nearly double
last year. there is, owing to the destruc-
ton OF over l,C0O,co0 pounds of Irvine in
the bottoms of Kansas City, heavier
demand for state Irvine than can be
filled. Kansas annually uses about four
million pounds of binding Irvine. As it IS
trust Irvine" which has been destroyed
it makes the demand for the penitentiary
Irvine all the stronger.
Considerable difficulty has been exper-
fenced in shipping out the penitenuary
Irvine TO farmers on account OF the hoods
dersnging the train service Warden Jew
EFT said yesterday that he hoped 10 get
the Irvine out now as rapidly as possible
and supply the farmers in plenty of time
for harvest. The greatest troubl ehas been
to get the Irvine to the farmers in north
western Kansas The Union Pacific has
been unable to run trains at all and it
may be some days yet before freight ser
vice is resumed.
1t is my intention said Warden Jew
EFT, yesterday. Ito keep the Irvine plant
running all year round hereafter. BY do
ing this / believe it will be possible to
turn out three million pounds of Irvine
a year, which will so long ways toward
supplying the Irvine demand of Kansas
and compel the trust to sell what Irvine
is disposed of in Kansas at the same
figure as the state. The plant consumes
700 to 500 bales of sisal month, and
intend to purchase the raw material on
the open market from month to month
This will enable meto take advantage OF
whatever fluctuations In price there may
be Heretofore the plant has been run
only from some time late in the fall until
the first of July and the entire supply OF
sisal purchased before the plant was
started. If this had been done last fall
il would have been necessary to pay
cent a pound more for all our raw mate
rial than we did this spring

Many Infants are Born

CURE is CUTICURA

1t is in the treatment Of this most dis

hair. that the C1ticura remedies have
achieved their greatest success Origi-
nal in composition, scientifically COM
pounded, absolutely pure, Interchangeable
in shy climate, always ready, and agree
able TO the most delicate, they presentto
those suffering from Eczema the most
successful curativeof modern times. We
know that this will be considered strong
language by those acquainted with the
character and Obstinacy Of the disease
under consideration, but it is justified
by innumerabic successes where oil the
remedies and methods il vogue have
failed to cure, and, ia many cases, TO
relieve, even.
The first step in the treatment Of the
chronic forms is TO remove the sca.es and
crusts and soften tire skin, by warm
paths with CutiCurs Soap. The scalp,
ears, elbows, hands, ankles ard feet viii
require frequently thorough soaking In
order to penetrate the thickened skin
and cr1s;s with v hich these parts are
often covered. Dry carefully, and ap-
ply Cuticura Ointment, lightly at arst,
