The free text book proposition was
carried by great majorities in the
larger cities of the state. II has its
merits as we'll as its serious objec-
lions. Most scholars treasure their
school books and desire to keep them,
while the sanitary feature is one en-
titled to thoughtful consideration.
There Is danger of spreading contag.
ion in the passing along of school
books. A writer on this question says
that lin many places where this law
has been in force there is a universal
demand for its repeal, for the reason
that recent scientific investigation has
shown innumerable cases Of contag.
ious diseases being contracted by
means of promiscuous handling of
books that have been in general use"
Inasmuch as the law already makes
it obligatory upon the districts to fur.
nish books to children when the par
are unable to bear the expense
there would seem TO be little need for
free text books in Montana.

FERGUS COUNTY LEADS.

About a year ago 1t was p~rophesied
in these columns that Fergus county
would soon take the lead in the output
of gold over the other counties of the
state. At that time the great Ken.
dali property was not a contributor.
although about to commence opera.
tions. II is now in full swing and add
ing much to the gold production of the
county.
A dispatch TO the Great Falls Trib-
une, dated April Sth. says:
The books of the United States
assay office in this city show that for
the month Of March. of the gold sent
to the assay office from Montana.
Lewis and Clarke county produced
s2i,S2O.51, Fergus county 1885 and
Granite county 1925, 562.94.
During the past week two baIs,
valued at more than $4,000, were
received from Fergus county. which
has become a large producer Of gold
since the recent opening ~ the mines
in the Kendall and Gilt Edse districts.
The reason for the greater showing
made by Fergus county at the assay
office than from Lewis and Clarke
and Granite counties Is because of the
fact that Fergus county properties are
worked by mills and the cyanide pro-
cesses. while in the other counties a
large proportion of the gold ores go
to the smelters, so their product does
not reach the assay Office at this
point"
II will be noticed that the output OF
Fergus county for the month of March
is nearly three times as great as that
of Lewis and Clarke and Granite CON-
bined. so far as the report of the Hell
ena assay office shows.
It will also be observed that rea-
sons are assigned for 'the greater
showing made by Fergus county" 1t
wouldn't do, of course. to have the
greatest stock county in the state al.
Sc take the lead in gold production
over such old producers as Lewis and
Clarke and Granite.
No doubt the reason may be true.
But ii can also be said in behalf of
Fergus county that not all of its gold
finds its way to the Helena assay Of.
flee, a goodly portion going direct to
the mint at Philadelphia.
Those old counties embraced in the
main range Of the Rockies will have
to hustle If they keep in the lead OF
Fergus in the production OF the vel
low metal.

The Hon. Wayne MacVeagh has
been selected as the representative
of the United States before the Hague
Tribunal In the Venezuelan dispute.
The appointment Of a statesman Of
Mr.. Macveagh's wide experience and
notable qualities indicates that the
United States expects to take a prom.
inent part in these deliberations. The
main question, 1t is presumed, 10 over
the claim that England. Germand and
Italy by virtue Of bulldozing and bonn
bardment, have established a claim of
preference over other Venezuelan
creditors, who contented themselves
with peaceful coerciye measures.

HIGH SCHOOL BONDS.

As far as We have been able TO
learn, every person acquainted with
the facts in the case admits that a
high school building is an urgent ne
cessity, and that IT should be built at
once, to be ready. If possible. for the
beginning Of the next school year. II
VII. hardly be c%ontended that, to pro.
vide for a reasonable time in the fu.
ture. the amount for which the trus-
tees Of the school have asked is too
large for the erection and equipment
Of such n building as will meet the
requirements of the school for the
next ten years. and be n credit to the
county. The only question really at
issue then. In the election upon the
question OF issuing the bonds, is
whether the mount necessary for that
purpose shall hc raised from the sale
Of bonds running for a term of twenty
years, and drawing interest at the
rate of four and onohalf per cent. or
from a five mill tax payable on the
first of December of this year.
The financial editor ON the staff of
the Catch Basin News In the last is.

called arguments against bonding. and
in favor Of a five mills tax levy this
year to raise the amount Let MS ok

that he would import all or nearly
all OF the labor necessary for the coh-
~struction Of the building. In TINS way
II Is more than likely that not only
would the local contractors and Duilu-
ers be deprived of doing the WORK
because OF their financial inaDlilty 10
carry 1t, but that the mechanics and
laborers of the county would also De
deprived of the work which the con
struction OF such a building would al
ford, and the business men oil the
town would see a very large percent
age OF the money paid for wages lax
en- out Of the county. 1t is hardly PROB
able, however. that any contract would
be let without the payment, as tne
work progresses, of a considerable
proportion of the estimate OF the work
done. so that the result Of defeating
the bond issue would probably be that
the school building could not be con-
structed this year. while the five mill
tax which it would require TO net
$4,000 would remain in the county
treasury from December next until
some time during the following sum-
mer before il could be utilized.
Our county had last year about six
and a half millions assessed valuation.
1t is safe to assume that at the end
of ten years this valuation will at
least have doubled, and that 1t will be
at least four times as great at the end
Of twenty years, and the same may
be said of the ~taXpaying population
of the county. The high school build
ing is intended not only for this year,
or for the present generation of school
children, but to meet the probable re-
quirements of the county for the next
twenty years; and il is not only the
part of wisdom from a business point
of view, but it is right from a moral
standpoint, that the increased wealth
and population of the county, from
year to year. during the next twenty
years. should pay its proportion of
this cost.
We believe, therefore. that it is to
the interest of everybody concerned
that the money, which it is admitted
is necessary for the purpose stated,
should be raised by the issuance of
bonds rather than from a direct tax.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The people of the west, and of the
nation for that matter, are in hearty
accord with President Rooseyelt's
views on the monroe doctrine and
his demand for a navy that will enable
the United States to enforce il ii nee.
essary. However. as the president
says, a strong navy lis the surest
guarantee of peace" While Great
Britain and Germany have given as.
that they have no intention
of violating the doctrine and desire
to be on the most ~friendfy terms with
this country. future events might
change their attitude altogether. As
long as they have interests in the
South American republics. and are
compelled at times to collect their
debts by force OF arms, there is dan.
ger to the peace and dignity OF the
United States. We have done much
in the way Of building up the navy
in the past ten years and the little
brush with Spain has caused the
great powers to respect us even if
they have no fear of our sea strength.
While this country will never need
the naval equipment of Great Britain
or Germany, as II will not go away
from home Ia look for trouble. il
snould have one able 70 protect its
coast line against any foreign power.
With the Panama canal completed
this will not be as difficult as Il would
be at present If our coast cities should
be attacked by foreign ships. Had
we an isthmian canal during the wal
with Spain the Oregon could have
reached the scene of action in less
than half the time required TO make
the run around the Horn.
With a navy Il be botn feared am
respected there is little likelihood %

THIS A
MeShane Outfit Moved to Harlowton
and Will Grade Towards Town.

The railroad crew which has been
working all winter out on Beaver
creek left last Wednesday for Har-
lowton, having completed about all
of the heaviest work up at this end.
II is the intention of the contractors
now to grade the road and prepare
1t for the rails right through from the
starting place. The rails will then
be laid as soon as the ties are on the
ground, so that when the contractors
get into Lewistown the actual road
will not be far behind. They expect
to be here within sixty days and If
they are Vice-President Harlow's
statement that the road will be in
Lewistown by July LIST looks very rea-
sonable. A sub-contract crew is now
at work near Cottonwood and two
other crews are expected to get to
work very shortly. The recent storm
has delayed them somewhat, but with
anything like favorable weather from
now on the train will be here on
schedule time July LIST.
