BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps 4
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make 1t the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
p~rattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended i'll childhood and youth, if We expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twitch-
ings Of limbs and muscles. They complain of
headache, ~drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
a fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition of
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
GUS by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases. Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
II your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.
1t makes and keeps the children well.

A POOR INDICATION.

1t may be, as suggested by a con
temporary, that the land frauds I'M
earthed in northern Montana we're
not possible of preparation so much
because of the character of the law
under which they were committed as
because of the laxity of the officials
whose duty it is to see that it's pro-
visions are complied with, but that
does not constitute a valid argument
against the repeal of the law. 1t is his
knowledge of the possibility of the
frauds that may be perpetrated under
the desert land act and of frauds that
have been committed under it that
has prompted Senator Gibson to take
the stand he has in regard to the ne
cessity of a repeal of the act. Were
it possible ito enter any of the re-
manning pubic lduuS uuu0T Lu0 pIO-
visions of the homestead law only,
and that law amended to the extent
of repeating the communication clause
it now contains, all danger OF frauds
would be removed, or at least the pos
sibility of their commission would be
reduced to a minimum. If anything,
the exposures made in Cascade coun-
ty only emphasize the urgency of a
change in the direction recommend
ed by Montana's senior senator. With
only the homestead law remaining un-
der which ITO secure title to public
land, assurance lis given that it will
be claimed and occupied in accord
ance with the intent of THE originators
of our land laws-by actual settlers
and thus it will be what it should
be, the means of furnishing homes
to those who by thrift and industry
desire to place themselves in a posi-
tion of independence and become
legitimate contributors to the welfare
and prosperity of the nation.

MOVING MORE FREELY.
Life Impaired to Montana Woods on
Boston Market.

Boston Market.
In its review of the Boston wool
market for last week, the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter has the
following concerning territory woods:
The feature of the weeks business
has been the somewhat increased ac-
tivity in territory woods, although the
business has not as yet assumed very
large proportions. The principal
sales have been of the finer grades,
which have been taken by certain
large consumers. In the lower grades
there would have been more done if
the supplies had been larger.
The prices at which the woods have
been moved vary. Some houses,
which have handled exceptionally
choice woods of unusually light shrink
age, report sales at a higher grease
cost than those handling average
woods. Thus sales of fine Montana are
quoted as high as zoe, and sales Of
choice medium are reported at BIC.
There is quitea difference in the shrink
age of woods this year, and while some
report sales as high aus zoe, others
report transactions in choice fine at
18@18kc, the woods shrinking &C per
cent, and in choice fine medium at
1872 @19c, the woods shrinking 63 per
cent. Average fine Montana has sold
ait 16@16hc, shrinking SO per cent,
and average fine medium at 17@17kc,
shrinking &C per cent. Heavy fine,
shrinking as high as u per cent, sells
at 14R@15c; and heavy fine me-
dunn at 15@15kc, shrinking SO per
cent. The price depends largely, of
course, on the shrinkage.
On the clean basis, fine medium
Utah and Idaho may be quoted at AZ
@49c, fine medium Montana at 48@
SOC. Sales of Montanas, also of Wyom-
ings, have been made at those fig
ures. Fine territory sells ait 5O@52c,
and fine staple at 53@55c. Medium
territory sells ait 45@46c, clean, and
at 42@43c for low medium. Quarter
blood sells quickly at zoe, to cost.
clean, about 42c.
Included in the sales of the week
were several good-sized lots of Mon
'tana and Wyoming within the range
OF quotations given; 1000 900 pounds
OF n medium Utah and Idaho at
47@49c; 10000 pounds of fine me-
dunn Utah at 16c, costing, clean,
48kc; $4,000 pounds of fine medium
Idaho at 16c, costing, clean, 49c; 10000
pounds of quarter-blood Idaho cost
Ing, clean, 42@43c; also sales Of fine

Is HOLLY SELFISH.

Try as it will, the Butte Miner a
but be WObly in it's opposition to the
protective tariff, due wholly to a
manifestation of selfishness painful to
behold in n so ~confessedly devoted
to %altruistic purposes as the esteemed
contemporary under consideration.
Thus, while it informs the woolgrow-
ers of Montana that the high tariff on
raw wool is productive OF no good
to them as far as maintaining the
price of the staple is concerned
thereby telling them that they are
no better off than they would be we're
the democratic notion of a tariff to
obtain-it loses no opportunity to in
weigh against President Roosevelt for
his insistence upon keeping the ma
tion's promise to Cuba as regards re-
ciprocal trade relations.
Like all persons actuated by sell
fish motives, the Miner is inclined
to exhibit little respect for the truth
it lit thinks slight p~erversion of facts
will help it's aus Protection is of
no benefit to the growers OF wool.
but it is of immense benefit to the
producers of sugar, whether raw or
refined. The reason for this is that
the Miner has no personal interest
i n the production of wool, but is per-
sonally greatly interested in the pro
duction OF sugar. Were the opposite
the case it could be. depended upon to
raise its voice to the highest KEY in
opposition to anything in the way of
a tariff calculated to lower the bar

Mr.. DIxoN's POSITION.

MI. DIxON'S POSITION.
Congressman Dixon of this state
was AT the White house the other day
to pay his respects to the president
and incidentally to talk about Mon
tana federal appointments. After his
visit to the president Mr.. Dixon IN
bosoned himself to the Washington
Star, a newspaper which lis regarded
as a Roosevelt organ. Mr.. Dixon
assured the Star that Montana would
be in line. for the, Roosevelt panty
next year and also said that the legis-
lature would elect a republican United
States senator to succeed Senator Glib
son. But note the shyness of the con-
gresham from the state when asked
the question as to former Senator
Carriers chances for a return to the
senate.
On the latter point Mr.. Dixon was
as mum as an oyester; he had no
opinion to offer, although it is believed
in many parts of Montana that the
congressman stands for the election
of Mr.. Carter to the senate. True,
4lo.o - ,o+ ,~,oot JooJ of ovy;lor1n
now at hand to show conclusively that
Mr.. Dixon is in the Carter band wa
gon, but unmistakable signs showing
where Mn. Dixon stands in relation
to the candidacy of Mr.. Carter for
the senate are bound to be manifest
between now and the opening Of the
state campaign next year. There
are quite a number of federal appoint
mentS to be made in the meantime
and these in most cases will take on
a Carter or / i-Carter tinge. MI.
Dixon being the accredited %represen.
tative of the Roosevelt administration
in the state, his recommendations for
federal positions will necessarily
show whether or not he consults Mr.,
Carriers wishes in matters OF that
kind.
IN, H.. -
The most striking example and
test of loyalty on the part of Mr..
Dixon will come up in December in
relation ito the Red Lodge postmaster
ship. In that town a battle royal
has been waged for more than a year
past between the forces of the pres
emit postmaster, Mr.. Anderson. and the
forces OF State Senator Meyer. MIR.
Anderson lis an applicant for reap
pointment and Senator Meyer is
known to be hostile to the appoint
ment. AS between Mr.. Anderson and
Senator Meyer the general opinion
runs in that section that Mr.. Carter
looks upon Mr.. Meyer as being the
more likely man of the two warriors
to erv the county in the mex state
senate. AS a politician Mr.. Carter
would likely side with Mr.. Meyer in
the controversy, and it is from that
source that the Anderson partisans ex-
poet the most pronounced opposition
In the final heat, unless the breach
is bridged in the meantime.
While the matter of federal appoint
ments within the next year will tend
to show to a great extent the friend
ship existing between Congressman
Diuon and former Senator Carter.
there = still another matter which

the party reach more closely the line
up of the, next state campaign. 1t
is generally known that friends Of
Mr.. Carter has given it out freely all
over the state that Mr.. Carter has NOV
ed his tent away from the camp of
the Amalgamated Copper company.
How and why the relations between
that gentleman and the Amalgamated
have become strained it is not the
file of the party will content them
selves in watching the tide OF events
Ito discover whether or not Mr.. Dixon
is going to- cast his lot with Mr.. Car
ter, should that gentleman conclude
to fight to a finish every political i'm
terest closely allied with the large
corporations doing business in the
state.
Mr.. Dixon is a shrewd politician
for so young a man as he lis, but in
the opinion of The Gazette he has
some difficult problems before him
which must be solved before the re-
publicans enter upon another state
campaign. Judging from his past Mr..
Dixon will be able to come out of the
approaching storm with a creditable
showing.
