Republican Candidate for County
Treasurer.

Treasurer.
In the unanimous selection of a
candidate for county treasurer on the
ticket the republicans of the county
chose the most capable citizen of the
community for that honor.
Mr.. White has filled many positions
of trust since coming to this part OF
Montana some 20 years ago and his
former employers are the men who
speak of him in the highest terms OF
commentator.
At the present time Mr.. White is
connected with the Yellowstone In
vestment company OF the city, a lead.
ing real estate and loan office. He
devotes much of his spare time to the
interests and welfare of the city and
county, being secretary of the Billings
Commercial committee, an organiza
ton which has for it's object the pro
motion of manufacturing and the es
tablishing OF business concerns in the
community and the development o1
agriculture in the county.
Systematic and methodical in every
detail, the electors OF the county vii
choose wisely if they place Mr.. White
in the treasurer's office for the ensu
! ing two years.

Gard to the Voters.

1T having come to my knowledge
that a report has been circulated that
I have already promised certain per-
sons, in the event OF my election, the
Offices of under sheriff and jailer, l
wish to most emphatically deny that
any such pledges have been made.
I believe that the report was started
by my political enemies and wish
to assure all taxpayers and voters
that if honored by an election that |
will use my best judgment to appoint
assistants who will best serve the
interests of the county.
The voters and taxpayers can here
and now pronounce the report circu
lated against me relative to the ap
pointment of under sheriff and jailel
as false. Respectfully,
w. r. ADAMS,
Republican Candidate for Sheriff.

FACTS IN VALUATION OF BITTER
ROOT LAND TITLES.
WAS ASKED BY SETTLERS
Letter From One of Men Who Peti-
toned Congressman Dixon to
Secure Relief.

In his speaking tour OF the state
the democratic candidate for congress
charges Congressman Dixon with
having sought to benefit the Ana
conda Copper Mining company, rather
! than the settlers, when he secured
| the passage OF bill validating and
confirming titles to certain lands in
the Bitter Root valley. The state
committee OF the democratic party is
assisting Mr.. Gormley in the misrepre-
sentation and by every means within
j it's power is endeavoring to create
the impression that the bill was a
Job" and that Mr.. Dixon was the
willing tool OF a corporation.
The people OF the western part OF
the state are familiar with the facts
and the story does not injure Mr.
Dixon there. Some in other portions
may not know the truth and may per-
NIT themselves to be deceived by
the roorback. In order that all may
become acquainted with the manner
in which the bill came to be intro
duced, The Gazette herewith pub
fishes a letter written by one of the
men who petitioned Mr.. Dixon for the
introduction of the measure and it's
real object
Saved Many Homes.
'Missoula, Mont, Oct. 81, 1904.
"Mr Ed Donlan, Chairman Republi-
can Central Committee, Missoula,
Mont.
Dear Sir
Replying to your inquiry as to
what connection l had with the Dixon
bill to validate and confirm the titles
to lands in the Bitter Root valley,
wish to say that Tom Padden, Gus
Goeriz and myself obtained the sig
natures to the petition to Mr. Dixon,
asking for such a bill.
'fMany settlers homes in said valley
were saved to them by the passage
of said bill. We had Orcnard lands
the title to which was validated and
confirmed, and from which the past
season we have taken Is carloads OF
apples. This land had been made
valuable by the expenditure OF much
labor, time and money, and undel
the circumstances we felt that we
were justified in calling upon con
gress of the United States for relief
mo one ever accused us, who were
instrumental in obtaining said peti
ton, of being Anaconda Copper Min
ing company men, or men who were
connected in any shape or form witt
said company. Hundreds of men IL
the upper Bitter Root will testify tt
this fact. Anyone who states tina
said bill was IN the interest of thu
Anaconda Copper Mining company
alone, or was passed for the purpose
OF validating titles to timber lands il
the Bitter Root valley, or lands value
less for agricultural purposes, i
either ignorant of the subject or i
III willfully and deliberately telling
falsehood.

The lights have been dimmed
with appropriate cermonies in
the grounds and buildings of the
st. Louis exposition, and the
greatest show the world has ever
known has become a matter Of
history. 1t was not only great
in itself but was great because
OF the magnitude Of the event it
commemorated. The purchase
of louisiana made the present
greatness Of this nation possible,
and the empire of the west.
now the larger half Of the
nation, came as the result. The
results were hardly foreseen BY
those who were concerned in
their complishment, and were
never fully grasped until the
riches of the states carved out Of
the French wilderness were
placed on exhibition at st. Louis.
North Dakotans can feel proud
of the showing made by their
state, which at the time of the
purchase century ago was con-
sidered a part Of the Great
American Desert.

not be difficult to foresee. So

WHY is 1T?

1t has been almost a week
since we have seen in any Of the
Twin City papers a roast on
North Dakota politicians. Mean
time these same moral journals
are not explaining the motives
of the Minneapolis millers in
attempting to secure treasury
department decision favorable to
the admission of Canadian
wheat in bond. Nor did they
have anything to say last sum-
mer in opposition to. the board
of appraisers allowing the adj
mission Of frosted, wheat at
ten per cent ad yalorum, the
regular duty being Is cents per
bushel. Again there was much
silence on the part Of these
newspapers when, a few months
ago, the South st. Paul stock
yards people refused for a pain
full length Of time to comply
with the instructions of the gov
eminent relative to the construc-
ton of a dipping vat for Dakota
and Montana cattle. This
refusel made a difference Of
about a cent and q half per
pound against our stockraisers
who ship to those yards.
Perhaps we have no especial
license to speak for North
Dakota interests when those Of
Twin City institutions are con-
cerned, but the inconsiste ncy in
the conduct Of our st. Paul and
Minneapolis contemporaries is SO
glaring that we concluded it
was a good time to say some
thing about it. \.

The financial sensation Of the
day is the swindle Of The woman
who calls herself Mrs. Chad
wick. The money was secured
from staid and careful bankers
on collaterals that never existed.
The loans extended into the
millions, and in the smallest
operations involved thousands Of
dollars. Itwould seem that the
fool killed has been confined in
some of the financial centres and
that the influence the mother Of
mankind acquired over the
.reputed stronger sex in the
garden of Eden is still retained
in her daughters in this age Of
commercialsm.
