La Junta tribune., 1903-10-10

The Mayor OF Newdale was in
town one day this week, and made
his usual raid upon the county
treasurer's Office for his monthly
stipend as road overseer. When
the mayor visits the county treas
urer's office, he orders the hired
hands around as though he owned
the whole bunch. The mayor is
great buffer, but entirely harm
less. While he was in possession
OF the Office on his recent visit, a
lady from one OF the outer pre-
cincts called to pay her taxes. She
made the usual strenuous remarks
about high taxes, and thought it
was a shame the way people were
being held up. She finally asked
Deputy Clerk Downer why ii was
that things were thusly. MIR.
Downer, without batting an eye,
told her that the road overseers OF
the county were alone responsible
for the high taxes. They spent
gobs OF the county's money every
month for alleged Improvements,
and it panied him to admit that
there was very little in sight in
the way Of road improvements to
show for it. The road overseeSs
we're evidently improving each
shining minute while they had a
chance. The lady in a very siren
uous manner scquiesced in the
sentiments expressed. and made q
few italic remarks about road over
seers herself, saying that although
she did not know who the road
overseer in the Newdale country
was, she was of th. opinion that
he ought to be hung. When the

eager to know who she was aud

THE PLACE TO VISIT.

The season of the summer vacation
is at hand, and while Montana is far
removed from the great centeIS of
population, nevertheless good many
strangers find their way to this state
to spend a brief time in recreation,
and as time goes on and the advan-
tages possessed by Montana as such
a place become better known the
number of such visitors will vastly
inclease.
OF all other places in Montana
with a uniformly delightful summer
climate, this county possesses sec
tion that is said to slrpass in pictur-
esquc grandeur anything else Of the
kind in the world. The point re-
ferrcd to is the Mcdonald lake coun-
try, and its Wealth of scenery and
other attractions brings hundreds Of
visitors annually from all over the
United States.
The beauty and attractivenCss of
the Mcdonald lake country as SUM
mer resort is attested by the fact
that many of those who visit it come
annually, many ON lnSull tIoSSlirS lIlc
continent to spend brief season in
it's incomparably wild and rugged
mountain gorges. Those who onde
climb to its broad eXpanse of glacial
ice or camp beneath in Avalanche
basin. where the air seems charged
with the laundering echoes of the
snOwslides, are drawn as by a lode
stone TO return, and before many
seasons have passed, the annual visi-
tors will be numbered by thousands,
instead of hundreds. The annual
summer vacation has come to be a
permanent feature of American life
and wisely so, for it lengthens life
and gives added zeal and energy &c
the years work.
People OF the west are too apt tC
forego such pleasures, because they
are intensely busy and, having the
opportunity always at hand they fai
to appreciate its value.

thousands of miles from the Russian
capital
In many respects Japan is the Eng
land of the Orient. Like England,
her domain is an island and to main
tain her prestige, she must depend
on her navy; for this reason she has
a navy that is not to be sneezed at,
navy, it far out ranks the naval
strength of Russia. AS the struggle
would be largely naval contest, it
can readily be seen that with England
as All ally of Japan, Russia would
have but little chance of winning.
For this reason, Russia is no doubt
playing a diplomatic game of delay
in the hope that some rupture may
OCCUR between Japan and England.
If the contest should occur, the bert
interests of this country would prob
ably be with Japan and England, as
those countries are committed to the
open door policy in the Orient.
while Russia will follow a policy of
exclusion The trade of this country
with Manchuria is considerable and
it promises to develop into huge pro-
portions if not intarfered with. Rus
STA will no doubt use every effort to
retain the friendship of the United
States, and to this end will no doubt
give EVERY assurance for which we
may ask But in view of the fact
that she has not kept her promise
to retire from Manchuria as soon as
order was restored, her assurances
can not be looked upon as being of
much value. In the event of HOSTILE
ties, this country would no doubt re-
main neutral, and while war is al
ways to be d'9plored the resulting in
crease in trade would inure greatly
to the benefit of this country.

THE PLACE TO LIVE.

With the temperature in Flathead
valley, at pleasant point almost all
the time it is difficult for residents
of this section to realize the dscom-
fort and suffering to which the peo-
pie of the sweltering east are sub
jected at this time. A comparison Of
the temperature recorded by the Their
mometer in the different sections
fails to explain the great difference
in climatic conditions, for with the
thermometer at 80 in the east and
middle west, people are Frustrated by
heat and dying by scores. while in
Montana and particularly in this
county, such a temperature would Oc-
casion but little if any inconvenience.
and with the midday temperature a
little lower than that as at present,
evening wraps are quite comfortable.
The real cause of the difference no
doubt is the relative humidity of the
atmosphere. With a comparatively
dry atmosphere, evaporation from the
body goes on rapidly, and evapora,
ton causes a reduction in tempera-
ture. With the air already charged
with moisture, as in the east, but lit
tie evaporation from the body can
take place and the result is discom-
fort and even prostration, or loss of
life. Such an effect is sometimes
called sun stroke, but the term is a
misnOmer, as those exposed to the
rays of the sun are seldom stricken.
A genuine case of prostration from
heat is almost unknown in Montana
and whatever the cause of THE differ
ence the people of this section who
consider the subject will rejoice that
old Soils rays have been robbed OF
their sting, and the fact adds not a
little to the value of a home in this
part of THE country.

WAR IN THE EAST.

While both Russia and Japan are
protesting a desire for peace. each
nation is steadily making prepare
tons for war. Bad blood has existed
between them since Russia deprived
Japan of the fruits of her victory

 Washington. Dec. l7.-,Adyices from Minister Leischman at Constantinopia to the State Department show that he has made very energetic protest to the Porte against the action of the Turkish officials at. Alexandretta. in the case Of United States Consul Davis Mir. Leisch- mans latest cabIegram further sustains Consul Davis in his action.
 Ckekib Bey. the Turkish Minister to Washington, today conferred with Acting Secretary Loornis respecting the affair. The Minister presented another statement emanating from his Government, the gen eraI tenor of which was to show that Mir. Davis, the American Consul at Aiexan- dretta was the aggressor in the afkray, and that he had attacked three Turkish policemen without provocation. This statement failed completely to agree with the report of facts made by Minister Leischman and as the State Department felt bound to accept the word of it's own agent. 1t could not interfere with the ex- ecution of the program already anEtcunc- cd. namely. to have the United states Consul at Beirut return to AIexandretta at his own pleasure on a man of war ana to look for proper apology and rcpara- tion.
