HARD TO BEAT.

According to the figures compiled

million dollars in taxable wealth.
This will move the county up another
notch in the scale, making it a
fourth class county, and it requires
no prophet to forsee that it is to be
one of the richest and most populous
counties il the state. In this county
are Located the only great forests of
timber that exist in the state. These
forests have hardly yet been touched
and for many years to come they
will give employment to an army of
men, bringing a steady stream OF
wealth into the business channels CT
the county. AS the forests are re
moved the land will be brought UNI
der cultivation and prosperous homes
will replace the virgin timber.
The area of land under cultivation
il already much larger than is pos
sesscd by any either county in the
state and it is land upon which anor

something has aroused the cars gov

Jews in Russia According to the
dispatches over eight hundred ar
rests have been made of those who
participated in the Kichineff massa-

have been held for trial. many of
them being charged with murder
Eminent lawyers have been ap-
pointed by the Russian government
to assist in the prosecution of the
rioters. The leader of the mob has
recently committed suicide presllma-

prosecution and all things considered
prospects are much brighter for the
Jews in Kussia than they have been
for years
The Russian government has been
making a strenuous effort to prevent
the sending of the petition by the
president. and no doubt the whole
sale prosecutions have been inspired
because of the protests made by the
residents of this and other countries.
AS an object lesson for our bene-

election. But whatever the purpose
it has evidently had the desired ef-

BEST AGRICULTURAL COUNTY

With the growing importance of
Flathead county would it not be in
order for some of her citizens to
make an effort to secure the estab-
lishment in this valley of an agricul-
trW'al experiment. station?
Owing to it's location the state eX-
pertinent station at Bozeman is Of
but little value to the people of
this county and III some respects its
work may be misleading. For in
stance, some Of the best varieties of
fruits grown here are classed by the
Bozeman station as being too tender
or unsuitel in other respects and the
same differences no doubt exist in
many of the other products of the
soil. Bozeman is at an elevation of
abcNt 5000 feet, being over 1000 feet
higher than this valley. 1t has a
RIGOROUS climate and dry atmosphere
while we have a comparatively mild
climate and humid atmosphere. All
work there must be done under irri
cation while here no irrigation is
used. There is fully as much differ

known riverman in this vicinity He
was interested in numbering for 60
years or more and was at one time
connected with the long boat business

ne learned the river thoroughly and
was employed at times as a pilot. no

He carried on numbering operations
In the Dead River region and got out
a good deal of ship timber for the yards
at Bath. His uncle, John Richards,

etter off than without them by all

odds.
In addition to constructing, houses
might be purchased and put in good
condition. With the idea of keeping
the demand for rent supplied without
.1aking any great profit such an ar
rangement would doubtless be of great
advantage to the city. If there was
some sort of an organization in the city
that would be ready to furnish rent
in some manner for any one desiring it
the problem would be solved. Care
could be taken to not oVerdo the thing
so that present real estate owners and
landlords would not suffer from an
oversupply and reduced rents but to so
regulate it that every one could be sup
piled without disturbing the prices for
rents or value of property in the city.
It's a problem that must be faced soon
and the quicker some attempt is made
at a solution the better it will be for all
concerned. 1t is certainly a delicate
one and one that will require much
careful thought and action.
The girl problem is even more serious
than the house problem but so far no
one has been bold enough to suggest
solution for that.

Wilkes Barre Recruit Served With

Joseph Morgans, who now is but q
years old, has enlisted in the United
States army He was born in Omaha
and went to England with his parents
when 5 years old. Shortly before the
Boer war broke out he went to South
Africa.> When the war began he en-
listed with General Cronje. He was
one of the scouts who informed Cronje
that he was being surrounded by the
British, but was not believed. Dis
guSted with this, he resigned and
afterward Joined the British army, be-
ing with General French's column for
4 year and six months.
Coming to this country, he applied
for enlistment at the recruiting station
here and gave his record. The Ques-
ton then arose as to whether he was a
citizen or not. after fighting for two
flags. He declared his father had never
given up his American citizenship and
that he enlisted in the Boer ana British
armies before he was of age. There
upon it was decided that he is citi-
zen.
