The Devils Own.

The editor will now avail himself of
the opportunity of resenting the in
justice done him by the few inconsid-
crate parties who aided so diligently
in creating disorder in the Times office
while he was absent. One feature will
be taken up thus: 1t is we'll known
fact that the editor is a total abstain
er and does not countenance the use
of liquor in any form as a beverage,
but during his absence, "select few"
became intoxicated and entered the
office to do all the damage possible in
short time. A window light was
broken out, two lamp chimneys broken
a chair broken and three bullets shot
through the door into the back room,
none of which would have been at
tempted had he been here; but the
party left in charge seemed to enjoy
such carousing and even as much as
took leading part in the carrying out
of the principal part of the deviltry.
We do not pounce upon any one per-
son but the whole bunch is included
and the ignominous imposition and
the entire party of destructive impos-
ters are bitterly rebuked herewith for
the CROUCH house, which was created.
If you are one of the gang and have
anything to offer, we are to be found
in the Times office at your earliest con
venience. The window light and the
lamp chimneys were replaced by the
party who destroyed them, but the
other damages are not settled and we
have no clue to the offenders. Walk
in like men and square yourselves one
way or another!-Binford Times.

The Washington correspon
dents are accusing President
Roosevelt of being politician
and say that he is fixing things
up for himself in great shape
with a view to being reelected
next year. Now it is very strange
that the president should be a
politician and that he should be
looking after his interests for a
re election. Wonder if the cor.
respondents can mention any
president that was not politi,
clan.

A special telegram to the Min
neapolis Journal from Cannon
Ball, N. D., says:
Commissioners Jones' state
ment that he favors locating the
Indians on eighty or 100 acres of
land and selling the remainder
Of their reservations, without OBJ
tanning the consent of the Indians
has created CONSERVATION here.
This is just what the Indians
dreaded when asked to sign
the Lennon lease, and they were
assured by Commissioner Jones,
Grinnell, the presidents person
al representative, and Inspector
Mclaughlin. that not a foot of
their lands should ever be sold
without their consent, as the
treaty provides.
Furthermore, Commissioner
Jones told them that he favored
dividing the Standing Rock res
ervation pro rata among the Ind
ians. This, he said, would give
them about $40 acres each, just
about enough for them to run
their cattle on, there being prac-
tically no farming land on the
reservation. He told them to
think over this matter. After
counseling for nearly two years
the Indians had just decided that
they were ready to take their
land, as Mr.. Jones advised them,
aud were about to send a memor-
ial to congress, asking for their
allotments on that basis, and that
they be given full citizenship at
the earliest date possible, thus
relieving the government of all
their guardianship.
It is hardly credible that Com
missioner Jones would deliber-
ately advocate the breaking of
pledges made on behalf of the
government by such men as the
late General Crook, Bishop Whip
pie and others, signed by them,
ratified by congress and accepted
in good faith by the indians, and
it is to be hoped that he has been
misquoted in this NATTER

Remembering the large num-
Der of deaths while being oper-
ated upon for appendicitis in this
state, the following from the
Paris Matin will not prove cheer
full reading for the relatives of
the victims:
"During, the year 1902 the mill
tary hospitals of France received
668 patients afflicted with appen-
dicitis. Out of this number 1873
have been treated according. to
surgical rite, and 48O have re-.
ceived a purely medical treat
ment, although, according to a
celebrated surgeon, the medical
treatment Of appendicitis does
not exist Of the 188 operated
on with a knife, % died; while
the 48O not treated with the knife
furnished but tfivedeaths-scarce-
ly 1 per cent. Thus, theoretic-
ally, medical treatment does not
exist; but practically, medical
treatment cures ninety nine out
of a hundred. This is vexatious
for the theorist, but not to be
treated with contempt by the
SICK.

Different Modes of Abatlng Il
All great reduction works, where
sulphide ores are roasted and smelted,
produce great volumes Of smoke and
%sulphurous fumes, which destroy all
vegetation In their vicinity. and, II not
detrimental to health, are at least OBJ
noxious to those who have to live In
the smoke and sulphur-laden atmos-
phere. Butte and Anaconda, Mont.
are no exceptions to the rule, and the
smoke nuisance" has been a cause for
much discussion and unfavorable CON-
ment in that section. The Anaconda
company has undertaken the difficult
task Of abating the nuisance, and has
been making q series Of experiments In
that connection. II Is now announced,
with a probability Of success. The ex-
p%erimenters have approached the prop
osition from several directions, and
say they are in a fair way to lessen, II
not wholly abate. the smoke nuisance.
The most rational method of dealing
with the proposition-that OF passing
the gasses through q constantly falling
spray of water-they declare to be In.
expedient, owing to the large volume
OF water required, and the inability to
recover the substance taken up by the
water. which pollute the streams Of the
region-a greater evil and more wide
spread than caused by the smoke. The
Anaconda smelters treat about 5000
tons of ore daily and the quantity Of
dust and gases resulting from the va
rious metallurgical processes is very
great. but 1t is thought that q solution
Of the problem will be found In the
construction of additional dust cham.
bers.
One feature Of the proposition Is that
prior to the erection of the reduction
works at Anaconda there was practi.
cally nothing Of great value there, the
subsequent growth of the town and
consequent value of real property be.
ing created by the metallurgical in
dustry In operation there. Whenever
shelters In In blast there Ia always
more OF less smoke, and this fact is
known to all, and 1t would seem that
as the prosperity Of the country de-
ponds upon the successful and con-
~tinuous operation Of the reduction
works that the smoke nuisance is a
matter OF secondary consideration, be-
ing necessarily incidental to the con.
tinuance Of industry.

MOVE CATTLE !
TO NEW RANGE
One Of the Largest Cattle Concerns OF
This State to Go to North
- Dakota.
HAVE FORTY THOUSAND CATTLE
And Eight Hundred Thousand Acres
OF Land Leased to Range
Them On.

North Dakota boasts tne iarsest Cav
tie ranch In the world, barring the
monstrous KIT ranch in Texas. and
Montana has just lost the branch cat
tie ranch of the concern which owns
II. The great North Dakota ranch is
on the Standing Indian reservation,
and it consists Of 100000 acres of land
all of which will soon be under q barb
wire fence. On this ranch the cattle
firm that owns it will raise cattle for
the market at a yearly expense per
head Of s2.46.
The big ranch is the property of the
Lake Tomb Cattle company, which
brands Its stock with the 1T" brand.
This C has been in business for
years in the northwest. but the great
Standing rock cattle ranch Is a new
venture. The rapid settling Of gov.
eminent lands in the west drove the
company of the government ground
and compelled it to secure private
land.
Some 100000 Acres Leased.
The 800, 900 acres have been leased
from the Indians, who W the land al
the Standing Rock agency, at the
actual rental of 30h mills an acre, and
with the condition that each Indian
family shall be allowed to Craze loo
head of stock free on the ranch. The
company will hold the land for five
years, and then 1t will revert to the
Indians, taking with 1t the 200 miles
of fence.
The 1T" outfit only lately pulled
out Of Montana with Its cattle. Its
ranging ground here for q number Of
years was Custer county, where II
kept large bands Of cattle. The cattle
used to be driven In from South Da
kota, and 1t had a large ranging grount
in that state in the Black Hills coun
try and near the Ridge Indian agency
The White and the Cheyenne river
formed the scene Of Its activities also
Once It had thousands and thous
ands of government land under fence
but the order for the removal OF fences
from government lands broke that up
and compelled the company to make
new plans.
viii Range 10000 Cattle.
When. the big ranch in North Da
kota has been put under fence tn,
company will range 10000 cattle on II
The 200 miles Of fence will require
5000 posts, which will cost ovel
SIC. 200. Both breeding cattle and tina
for market will be run on the ranch.
The cattle will be carried through
the winter on the ranch and be fed OF
hay cut on the land, hundreds OF tom
having been put up for the presen
winter. The cattle raised on the BIZ
ranch will cost nearly twice wha
those run on public lands did.
The expense of keeping cattle on tn
public lands was SLIPS per head
year.
