intemperance. These men had no per-
sonal ambition to crafty and they re-
ceived no compensation. Many were
here at sacrifice of time and money.

Thunder Mountains
.@~~ Wonderful Monument
ONE OF THE WORLDS sTRA INCEST NATURAL cURIosIT1Es


- One of the most remarkable natural
rugged and almost inaccessible part of
the newly opened, but already famous
Thunder Mountain gold region in Idaho.
This strange freak Of nature is called
"Sheep- eaters Monument and is said to
have derived it's name from tribe of
Indians formerly inhabiting the district.
The monument is seventy feet high and
consists of a rough shaft, composed of
powders and gravel, tapering slightly up
ward, and capped by a huge irregular rock
whose weight is estimated at not less than
fifty tons. The cap rests on slender pro-
jections from the shaft that are gradually
being worn away by the elements, threat
ening the eventual fall of the great stone.
The monument stands on the slope of, a
ridge which rises a thousand feet and
descends five hundred feet from the site.
1t was undoubtedly formed by erosion.
The surface of the declivity. has been for
centuries land is yet, being, washed away
by water. the result Of melting SHOWS and
rainfalls. Originally the cap-stone was
stationed on the ground, but gradually the
soil surrounding it was carried away. a
narrow vertical section just under it being
left intact, owing probably to some hard
cemeting substance in the conglomerate
and possibly also to- the direction in which
the eroding torrents expended their force.
How long time was required to form the
shaft may be only partly realized when it
is stated that there are trees not far away
taller than the monument. AS the ero-
sive process continues, the shaft is likely
to, increase in length unless a soft spot
should be reached under the present sur

KNOCKING REFORM BILLS
Railway Officials Deny Authorship
of Circulars Sent Out in
Wisconsin.

Special to The Journal
Madison, Wis, March 10.-A circular
letter purporting to be sent out by the
North Western and Milwaukee railroad
companies to all their agents in the state,
urging them to work against administra-
ton reform measures, has come to light.
General Counsel Peck of the Milwaukee
road and General Counsel Bowers of the
North Western, who are here, also Messrs.
Ring and Wiswell, the lobbyists of the
two companies, say the circulars are
fraudulent and were apparently sent out
to make it appear the railroads are fight
ing administration measures. The cir-
culars. those Of both roads being exactly
alike, are as follows:
ITO Agents in Wisconsin-Dear Sir:
The governor of this tsate is eagerly en-
deavoring to pass legislation which would
greatly reduce the earning capacity of all
railroads in Wisconsin. 1t is evident that
if these bills become law a reduction Of
wages and force will become necessary.
We therefore urge you to use your in
f1uence to the best of your own judgment
in preventing the passage of these bills,
namely. primary election. ad valorem tax-
alton and other reform measures

THE RED LAKE OPENING
Land Can't Go on the Market for a
s~..- Voor LIZ e

That it will take at least twelve months
to get the land Of the Red Lake reserva-
ton on the market is the belief Of Regis
ter Peterson of Crookston, who has been
appealed to for information by Deputy
State Auditor Thompson. In a letter on
the subject the register says:
Senator Clapp introduced and had
passed a bill providing that the right to
homestead should be sold to the highest
bidder but that the minimum price should
be 81 per acre: ~0ne-fifth of this amount
is to be paid in cash, and the balance. in
five annual installments.- -
Besides paying this amount the sue
cessful' bidder has to comply with the
homestead law as to residence and i'm
provements. The law has to be agreed
to by the Indians, and if they agree the
law says they shall be given six months
to remove their improvements. It will,
in my opinion, take at least twelve months
to get the lands on the market"
