New Law That consults Convenience
of Entrymen.

sNSNv @A'
Of Entrymen.
Under the provisions of a law pass
ed by congress on the 4th of this
month entrymen may now make final
proofs before the nearest officers quail
fled to hear them regardless of the
fact whether such officers are within
the land district in which their en-
tries were made. The purpose of the
law is to save settlers the annoyance
and expense of long journeys when
officers competent to act may be To-
Gated within easier and more con
venient distance.
The announcement of the passage
of the law is contained in a letter
received a few days ago at Helena
from the commissioner of the general
land office. The letter was written
in reply to a request for a change in
the boundary lines of the Helena
and Great Falls land districts. The
request was made at the instance Of
the people of Neihart, which camp is
situate in the Helena district, although

Only sma!LLosses Sustained by Stock

State Senator John D. Waite OF
LewistOwn, who arrived in the txy
this morning by stage on his way east,
reports stock conditions to be excel,
lent in Fergus county, and but little
loss sustained by stockmen during the
winter, says the Great Falls Leader.
"We have had but comparatively lit
tie snow in our county, there having
been only about six inches on The
level, with but little crust.
GAN of the stockmen have been
very we'll prepared for a long winter
and were sufficiently supplied with
hay and feed to stand a long siege.
We have been feeding for about two
months, but most of the snow is now
gone and only the lambs are being
fed.
I'VE Jared much better than those

ence of the Missouri and Yellowstone

1t Cost Much.
Exclusive of the finishing work still
remaining to be done, the company
has already expended something over
$4,000 since it undertook the I'M
provements noted. The constantly in
creasing business which it finds itself
compelled to meet made the expendi-
ture necessary, as the demand had out
grown the capacity to supply and the
company had either to enlarge or be
content to remain stationary. OF
course, the latter alternative was not
to be thought of and in consequence
a better appointed or modern
brewing establishment than it now
owns is not to be found anywhere in
the west. While not so large as those
of some of the more famous eastern
breweries, that of the Billings Brewing
company is no less complete or up
to-date in everything that goes to
make such establishments as nearly
perfect as ingenuity and experience
can make them.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-03-25

it is much nearer to Great Falls. In
fact heretofore entrymen have been
obliged to pass through Great Falls
on their way to the Helena land office.
To obviate this the department was
asked to include Neihart in the Great
Falls district, in which request the
Helena land office Joined.
Commissioner Richards refused to
make the change and in the following
letter called attention to the new law,
the provisions of which he regards as
meeting the objections urged against
the existing boundary lines of the
two districts:
referring to your letter of Feb
ruary 6, respecting the change sug-
gested by you in the boundaries be-
tween the Great Falls and Helena
land districts, for the purpose of facil-
itating the making of affidavits and
entries, and also referring to the lev.er
to you on the subject, in which you
were advised that the matter would
be further considered after the receipt
of reports from the local Offices, which
we're called for on the same day, l now
have to state that the reports called
for have been made by said officers,
but that no further consideration OF
the subject is now deemed necessary,
for reasons hereinafter given.
con March 4, 1904, an act was pass
ed in relation to which instructions
are now being prepared, allowing
proofs and afidavits to be made be-
fore any qualified officer in the coun-
ty or parish wherein the land lies,
even though the place at which the
same are taken is outside the land
district, and said act also re-enacts
former legislation allowing proofs and
affidavits to be made outside the coun-
ty, if taken at the most accessible
point within the land district.
"In view of said act, and as any
change in the boundaries of land
offices always creates much confusion
in the records and files in this Office,
no action looking to the alteration OF
/ the present land boundaries between
said offices will be taken"

there is other machinery, such as
pumps, etc., whose introduction was
demanded because of the increases
made in other directions.

In the way of engagements a new
storage room has been built. This
is supplied with IA ISLANDERS" or
tanks, each holding 80 barrels. These
are on the ground floor. Immediately
above, in the second story, is another
storage room containing 10 OF
the huge tanks, larger than those be-
low by 10 barrels, each, giving them a
combined capacity of 1000 barrels.
With those below, 1850 barrels, the
brewery now has a total storage ca
pacity of $3.50 barrels for aging its
product before it is turned onto the
market.
BY adding to the third floor room
has been made for two immense set
thing tanks, into which the brew is
turned after it has passed through the
initial stages of its production. Other
engagements consist of a new rack
ing room, 60 by rs feet. Here the
beer is drawn from the tanks and
put into the kegs that find their way
into refrigerators and ice boxes that
make it so palatable and refreshing to
the thirsty as they line up before

PANAMA TROUBLE ENDED.
Colombia Viii Send DR.. Herran
Back to Washington as Minister.

Washington, July 22.-Coombia is again to

United States. and the Panama affair will be
closed incident between the two republics. The
State Department to-day received cordial let
ter from the Colombian Minister for Foreign
Affairs announcing that DR.. Thomas Herran had
received full letters of credit Colombia's
envoy at Washington.
DR.. Herran for many years was secretary OF
legation here. and. after the hurried exit OF Min
lister Concha, was charge daffares until the
legation was closed last winter a result of the
Panama affair. He signed with Mr.. Hay the
Hay-Herran treaty for the construction of the
canal which the Colombian Congress rejected.
DR.. Herran enjoys the most cordial relations
with the Secretary OF State and other officials
OF the government, and his appointment has
been received here with great satisfaction. No
date is mentioned for his return but as his let
ters have been made out and this government
informed. It is expected he will return here In

MEAT STRIKE ON AGAIN
Workers Say That Packers Haze
Not Kept Their Agreement.

BY an order issued yesterday the strike
of meat packers, butchers and handlers in
places under the jurisdiction of the Meat Gut
ters and Butchers Union was resumed. Presi-
dent Donnelly made statement, charging
that the employers Disseminated against
union men when work was resumed.
Appeals for help were made by the strike
leaders to unions of allied trades, and gen
cral strike may result, as the question has been
left to the leaders of the various unions.
The National Live Stock Exchange held
a meeting, and will probably ask the railroads
to stop shipments of livestock until the strike
is settled.
Representatives of the packers and the meat
butchers union held a conference last night,
but failed to reach an agreement, and another
meeting is to be held this morning.
