If some of the farmers and land
owners of this section had been up

would have not found it the paradise

vertisement for country that is so
frequently compared with our own

FILIPINOS NOT FOREIGNERS
So Fax as Having to Pay a Head Tia,
When Coming Here Is Con-

Washington, Sept. 22.-Upon repre-
sentations made by the war depart
ment the immigration bureau has
wired it's agents in San Francisco, Ia
coma and Seattle to exercise every IA
cility for admitting the Filipino car
penters brought over on the transport
Sherman to prepare the Filipino ex-
hibit at the st. Louis exposition.
These people had been detained on
the ground that they were required to
pay a head tax, and also were likely
to become public charges. The immi-
grafton bureau has decided that no per-
son coming to the United States from
any port in the Philippine islands is
subject to a head tax.

GAzETTE's LIBERAL OFFER.

1T is not with a little pleasure and
satisfaction that The Gazette makes
the generous offer contained else
where in this issue to it's subscribers.
Not another newspaper in the state
can equal it. Five dollars a year for
The Gazette and a metropolitan daily
of the prominence and standing OF
the Minneapolis Journal is, indeed, a
SNAP" and that many will avail them
selves of the opportunity to secure
the two tor only one dollar more than
the regular yearly subscription OF the
journal alone, goes without saying.
In The Gazette readers will find all
the home news, fresh, crisp ana
sparkling, while in the Journal they
will receive all the important news
OF the entire world within twenty
four hours after it's occurrence. Partic-
ularly interesting will be found the
Washington news contained in the
Journal, which covers that field more
completely than any other western
publication. Much Montana news will
also be found, which is daily given
the prominence of a special depart
ment. In addition considerable space
is also devoted to the happenings OF
Montana's %neighbors, the Dakotas and
Wyoming.
By taking The Gazette and the
journal readers will be enabled to
keep abreast with the news OF the
day, as they receive much that is not
published in any OF the larger Mon.
tana dailies. The clubbing arrange
ment is now in effect and all who
really desire to keep themselves in
formed on all important events trans

AND BEEF.
Importance Of the First to Grazinu
Industry.

Irrigation always suggests farming
and the production of crops of the
farm, hence in considering the mat
ter it is seldom that thought is given
to the subject as having more than
remote connection with what may be
called the allied industry of stock
raising. When so considered it is
generally in regards to sheep feeding.
But even in this wise it is only in
recent years that it has become to be
recognized as of Importance. But
now come the members of the recla-
nation bureau OF the agricultural de-
partment and show how important ir-
rigation will become as relating to
the raising of beef on the western
ranges.
In an interview published in a num-
Der of northwestern newspapers hav-
ing Washington offices G.. H. Fitch,
engineer of the federal reclamation
service, said:
During the cattle shipping season
just closed in the northwest, the ad-
vantages Of irrigation were most ap-
parent. This year the price OF beef
was exceedingly low, and to make
matters worse, much of the beef ship
ped was not even in a fair condition.
owing to the dry spring and slow
growth of grass: consequently the
steers from the range were low in
weight as we'll as in price. On the
other hand, the farmer whose stock
was grazed during most OF the year,
but was fed alfalfa from irrigated
lands during the winter, did not fall
off in weight, but was in prime ship
ping condition, and weighing heav-
lily, brought a better price per pound
and made more pounds.
"Take, for instance, the government
reclamation projects on the Belle
Fourche river in South Dakota and
the lower Yellowstone river in Mon
tana and North Dakota, the amount OF
land reclaimed, while probably reach
ing into the thousands of acres, will
be but narrow strips in the vast area
of grazing lands surrounding them,
but the open grazing lands surround
ing them will be more valuable than
now because the contigu1ty of farms
and the opportunity afforded for pro-
viding winter feed, which simply
mean an insurance against loss. A
large percentage of loss which must
occur in exceptionally severe winters
will be thus provided against.
"On the Yellowstone the lands
which may be reclaimed are close to
the state line, some OF it in Montana
and some in North Dakota, but a large
section of grazing land in both states
will be much benefited thereby"

How to Prevent Group.

It will be good news to the mothers
Of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign OF
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even at
ter the rough cough appears, and it
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
thousands of mothers and has
been known to fail. It is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

No objection may be raised to eth
err of these recommendations, but the
same may not be said as regards still
another he makes. He would have
the power to issue certificates of nat
%uralization withdrawn from the state
courts and vested solely in the fed
eral courts. A law of that kind might
be proper in the denser settled east,
where federal courts are more numer-
Gus, that is, where they r held in
a greater number of places, but in the
west, where such courts in
only one or two towns in a state, it
would work an actual hardship and
would deprive many worthy men from
enjoying the right O becoming citi-
zens by adoption.
BY amending the law in other re-
spects as recommended by the attor-
ney general, congress would undoubt-
eddy be doing the right thing and the
recommendations he makes in that
respect are worthy OF the highest
consideration on the part OF the ma
tional lawmakers. They could be
very easily engrafted into the existing
statutes without depriving the state
of the power they now possess
of making citizens by virtue OF adop-
ton. .". a.. .aM# r.-
