PIONEER WOMAN GONE.

Last week We felt called upon to
say a few kind words about a beau.
tiful and accomplished young wife
and mother who was called to an un.
timely grave.
And now, another death has occur.
red, here in our midst, that calls for
more than local mention. Unlike the
brid who died surrounded by every
luxury and great wealth, Mrs. Frank
Day was one OF the pioneer woman
of this city and county and also OF
the state, having been a resident OF
Montana for t~hirty-seven years and
of what is now Fergus county for
over twenty years, and at the
time OF her death had reached the
age of II.
Though laid to rest a..er years of
toll and hardships in the state she
helped to make habitable, many
there are who will never forget her
kindly face and the genuinely hearty
greeting with which she met every.
one at all times.
The latch-string was always ac-
cessible to the weary and hungry
traveller and II he did not have tie
price of a meal or lodging he was
not turned away. Many are they in
Fergus county who can testify to her
acts Of kindness to them and will
sincerely regret her death. though
she filled out the measure OF three
score years and ten with a year to
spare.
Death is a great ~leveler, and the
rich. the accomplished, the beautiful
and the exalted are judged by the
same standard on the final day. After
all of her trials and sacrifices the
pioneer woman has at last received
her reward, and all of the wealth of
this world could not have made 4
sweeter, or more enduring

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

In these busy times 1t is hardly
likely that many people will read
Governor Toole's message from start
to finish, it being considerably longer
than President R~oosevelt's message

necessary in one-half OF the space.

veteran politician and it is evident
from his . affirmative anu lengthy
treatment of some of the fads and fol-
lies Of populism and socialism that
he has further political aspirations.

To sell or lease the state lands is
a question receiving some attention
in the daily papers, and those who
favor selling seem to be in the ma.
jority. The desirable agricultural
lands that will bring the price should
be sold. The money derived from the
sales will be a great help to the edu.
cational institutions of the state and
the disposing OF them to actual set.
tiers will bring more people and con.
~sequently more tax payers. Settlers
will greatly increase the value Of the
lands and Immediately render them
taxable for general purposes includ.
ing the maintenance of schools.
There will be plenty OF land to lease
when those fit for agriculture have
been sold.

Our esteemed contemporary OF the
Great Falls Tribune must not think
for a moment that We are opposed to
national irrigation because we OPP
pose its radical position regarding
the repal of the land laws. When
ever irrigation on a large scale is
practicable the lands that can be re-
claimed should be withdrawn from
the operations of the land laws at
once, as has been done in the region
to be reclaimed by the St. Mary's
canal. even though actual redemp-
ton is some distance in the future.
However. when a party of govern.
ment surveyors spend three months
and cover millions of acres OF ground
in central Montana and then report
that they found the establishment of
government reservoirs for the stor.
ing of water impracticable owing to
the lay of the land, we must oppose
radical measures that would check
the growth and development of Fer
gus county.

RoosEvELT's ITINERARY.
Tho President Has About Completed Hts
Tour of the Yellowstone Park-Now
Viewing the Geysers.

Cinnabar, Mont, April 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has about completed
his tour Of the Yellowstone park.
Yesterday he was at Fire Hole geyser
basin. To-day he will return to the
Norris geyser basin and go from
there to the Grand canyon, where the
upper and lower falls are situated.
He expects to return to the post
headquarters tomorrow and will re-
main in that vicinity until Friday
afternoon, when he will resume his
trip. The members of the presidents
party who have been living on the
train at Cinnabar since April s will
probably join the president in the
park Thursday morning.
The presidents itinerary has been
changed to provide for stay OF one
hour at Edgemont, s. D., instead OF
Ave minutes, as previously an
nounced. This is done in order that
the president may give a reception to
his numerous friends from the Black
hills country, as his tour does not
contemplate visit to that section.
