The LESSON OF IT.

The collapse of the ship building
trust, the Consolidated Lake Supe-
rior Co.. with it's capital of 100000
900. and numerous other trusts with
we'll watered stocks and limited as
sets may serve to call public atten-
ton to the unfair and unwarranted
license enjoyed by such trusts Or
ganized under the laws of New Jer-
sey and some other states. Under
the laws of those states trusts are
permitted to be organized for the ex-
press purpose of evading the laws of
other states. In most cases no re-
lations hip is required between cap
italization and assets, and the Off
GERS and directors are relieved of
all responsibility in connection with
the affairs of the corporation. They
can put as much misrepresentation
as they choose into a prospectus, or
use any other means to rob the pub
lie and still be entirely beyond the
reach OF the law. They can increase
the capital stock at will and purchase
property from themselves without re-
stricton. This was we'll illustrated
in the shipbuilding trust when

The marked success of the county
fair Just closed is most gratifying in
deed. both to those who had the ac-
tive management of the fair and to
every taxpayer Of the county.
The attendance was away beyond
all expectations and the weather was
50 perfect that even the balloon as
cension each day was made on
schedule time
With few exceptions the exhibits
in every department were excellent
and many Of the exhibitors deserve
much credit for the care and labor
expended, for without such patriotic
work the fair could not have been a
success.
Mr.. Estey, Mr. Wood and Mr.. Chap
man deserve especial praise for their
fine fruit displays, for only those who
have engaged in such work can APP
preciate the time and effort required
to make such a showing
The fine exhibits made by the
schools We're also worthy of much
praise, and speak we'll for the ability
if the school management and eff
cheney of the teachers as well as
showing the proficiency of the schol-
airs
The races and other features of
amusement We're most enjoyable and
taken all in all the fair was in every
way most decided success.

DESERT LANDS.

Senator Gibson has stirred up a
hornets nest by charging the exist
ence OF Wholesale frauds in the pro-
curing of title to government lands
in the Great Falls land district under
the desert land laws.
Through his efforts all desert lanl
filings in the district have been sus.
pended and all land withdrawn fror.
entry under the desert laws
So far as the effort is directed to.
ward preventing corporations or 9th
ers from securing large bodies o.
land for speculative or grazing pur-
poses, it should succeed, but the Ell
fort is bound to work a hardship up
on a large number Of bona fide set
tiers and will probably do more harm
than good The same action wa
taken in this district and resulted
in no little Inconvenience to some
Of the Tobacco plains settlers.
The government usually sends out
a special agent to investigate condi-
tons. and the course of the depart
ment is usually determined by the re
port of the agent.
In the Great Falls case the report
Of the special agent pictured in
glowing terms the wonderful fertil
ity of the so-called desert land and
in his statement concerning the case
the secretary Of the interior mention !
the fact that the land supports n
growth Of luXuriant wild grass which
fact he seems to consider as con
elusive proof that the land in ques-
ton is not desert land within the
meaning Of the law.
If the secretary Of the interior con
strues the law to mean that only
barren and worthless land can be
classed as desert land then there is
but little Of such land in Montana
and what there is will never be taken
up.
The trouble appears to come from
the fact that the special agent sent
out by the secretary desired to make
a record, and being ignorant of west
ern conditions he thought he had dis
covered a mares nest when he fount
the alleged desert land covered Will
wild bunch grass. But little of tho
bench lands near Great Falls viii
yield crops without irrigation, not
withstanding the fact that it is cover
ed with good growth of wild grass
and while owing to the natural drain
age a small portion of such lands d,
not require irrigation, as genera
proposition it is just such land as the
desert land law was designed to &c
claim.
The withdrawal of the land from
entry will work irreparable injur!
to the district. for it will result il
the land lying idle instead of being
placed upon the tax rolls of the coun
ty. If title to any land is being Sc
cured through fraud such cases shoult
be prosecuted to the limit, but it il
a mistake to deprive the entire dis
trict of the only practical law undo
which it can be settled.

PLOT TO KILL PRESIDENT.
Butcher Of WaIIa Walla Landed Be-
hind the Bars.

President Theodore Roosevelt would
probably have been lying dead or des-
rerately wounded. ruthlessly shot
down by an anarchist hand, had not
clever work Of the local police force
frustrated the alleged plot.
Joseph Barker, radical socialist,
with no home, lies behind the bars at
the county jail. He was located and
captured at noon. four hours before
President Roosevelt and party enter
ed Walla Walla from the west.
Barker was found in the butcher
shop OF Chris Ennis, where he was
working. He claims to be a butcher
and came here from Pendleton, Ore,
where he formerly worked at this
trade.
The alleged plot to kill the chief
executive originated in Pendleton a
few days ago. where Barker was in the
employ Of Pat Kline, a butcher. Kline
followed Barker to Walla Walla on the
strength OF a remark Barker made
last week that he had one bullet for
President Roosevelt and one for En-
peror William" When Barker left,
carrying a A rife on his shoulder and
headed for Walla Walla. Kline grew
alarmed. He came here and notified
the local police.
Three officers, with Kline, started a
search. finally locating Barker. who
was sharpening a big knife. In the
butcher shop. He was arrested and
sweated. He soon confessed the loca.
tion Of his rife. which he had cached
at a farmers barn. a point Of vantage
along the route OF the parade where
President Roosevelt was expected to
PASS. The episode was kept very quiet
until President Roosevelt left town.
The public did not hear Of the affair.
Barker is a Swiss. He Is small and
Of light complexion. He says little
and is sullen.
A well known resident Of the county
was driven out of town. He claimed
the Lord had called on him to kill the
president. He is a fine shot and is
another radical socialist.

OF course there is no Significance
In the withdrawal of three Of the ves-
sells composing the European squad

Asiatic feet, according to officials in
the state and navy departments.
There is never any Significance in the

believed, but the fact remains that the

The assignment Of the three cruisers

A GAUNT FAMINE IN CHINA

FOR AID.
Condition in kwang 81 and Other
Places 10 DepIorabIe and Much suf.
fering Goes on-Parents Selling
Their Children for $2 to IS Each
Few Buyers-Eat Herbs and Leaves.

United States Consul McWade at
Canton, under date Of April Z. sent to
the state department q detailed report
Of the famine conditions in Kwang 81
in support of his cabled appeal for
help. He produced mass of informa-
tion, which he declares to be reliable.
from American missionary and naval
sources in Kai Kwan Ping, WI Mhow
and other places showing the destitu.
tion and the consequent suffering,
which the consul general says is abb
solutely appalling.
He says that thousands in their des-
peration were selling their children
for from 81 to IS each, yet SO many
were offered and SO few purchasers
that not all could be sold at even this
price. Mr.. McWade says that so heart
rending were the appeals for assist
ance that he had contributed far be-
yond his means and would have given
more had he had the money.
When the report was written the
famine was increasing greatly In Sc
verify and thousands were starving
TO death. In one village 200 perished
from starvation and he said that un-
less something in the way of relief
came soon thousands and thousands
would starve. Whole families were
subsisting on few ounces of rice a
Gay and eating herbs and leaves. I'm.
less the rice and other crops Of July,
August and September proved plenti-
full the famine would be only slightly
alleviated.
In conclusion Mr.. McWade says:
'The natives feel that the Americans
have come to them for their and our
mutual benefit and not as their ene-
mics nor to benefit anMfiwu-bp( (vhBl lu9
mics nor to seize any of their lands
under any specious or other pretenses.
That feeling is emphasized by the
great charity Of our people at home
who, in their earnest efforts to relieve
and not to destroy, know no religion,
creed, race or nation"
