STOCKMEN GET
THEIR PASSES
Northwestern Railroad Has Resclnd.
ed Orders Denying Them and
Other Roads will Follow.
REQUIRED STRONG PRESSURE.
Stockmen Have Been Fighting Hard
for Their Free Rides Back Home
From the Markets.

Helena. April 30.-Secretary w.
G.. Preuitt, Of the Montana Stock
Growers association today received
a telegram from p II. Scanlan, agent
of the Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul. at Butte, giving the information
that his road will, commencing May
>, issue return transportation to stock
men who ship stock TO market.
This evening l.. A. Gray. agent of
the Chicago & Northwestern, re.
ceiyed a telegram from the st. Paul
office of his company, announcing
that his line would issue return trans.
portatlon on business handled over
the Northwestern east of the Mime
sofa transfer. the same as was in
effect prior to January, 1904.
This news will be gladly received
by the stockmen OF Montana and Of
the northwest generally. Until the
first of the year. il has been the Gus.
tom OF the railroads to furnish stock
men when they shipped livestock to
market to furnish them return trans
portation. On the trip to market the
owner. or some one representing him,
goes with the shipment to take care
of the animals on the road. Until
the first of the year the men who
went to market with the shipment
were furnished transportation home.
Last summer the railroad men held a
meeting and decided that after jan
uary |, they would discontinue issu-
ing the return transportation. The
shippers of livestock protested at the
time OF the issuance of the order,
and they have been protesting indi-
yidually and through their associa-
tions ever since.
Committees of stockmen have been
sent east to talk over the situation
with the railroad men. and now their
arguments have produced results.
The railroad people made the order
on the ground that the privilege had
been abused The stockmen knew
that, and they proposed that the rail
roads surround the issuance of re-
turn transportation with proper safe
guards. but they insisted that IL was
gross injustice to make such an or
der and was especially hard on the
small shipper. While but two roads
have so far been heard FROM the ac-
ton reported is undoubtedly the re-
suit of an agreement among all the
lines and the others will probably
be heard from in day or two.

Japs Repeated Old Tactics.

st. Petersburg, May At is the
subject of general remark here that
the Japanese on crossing the Yalu
adopted almost identically the tactics
they followed during the Chinese-Ja-
panese war. forcing the passage at
the exact place they did in 1895.
The emperor is now receiving the
war news at Tsarokoye-Selo (fifteen
miles south of st. Petersburg), a
special wire having been run in the
new palace there. The dowager en-
press and Grand Duke Michael, the
heir presumptive, have gone to Ga
Tchina, near Tsarokoye-Selo. Except
for the big May-day review of troops
on the Champs de Mars, the imperial
family will not return to st. Peters
burg until they go to Peterhoff. on
the gulf. at the end of June.

ter OF A. X. Frame. published in the
Argus OF last week
Editor Fergus County Argus, Lewis
town, Mont.
Helena. April 2s. 1904.-Dear Sir:
] desire to reply to letter In your
valuable paper of the 10th inst. writ
ten by A. X. Frame. in which our de-
partment is criticised for setting what
he chooses to call an early date for
the State Eighth Grade examination,
for the schools OF the state.
The general tone of Mr.. Frames
letter seems to indicate fairness, and
am sure that he did not know that
the majority OF the schools close In
May, many OF them closing from May
10th to 20th, and in one city. much
larger than Lewistown, the schools
have already closed. We beg to sug.
gest that we always confer with
those in authority, and 1t has always
been our aim to try and accommo-
date the greatest number.
| regret very much that the board
OF trustees did not begin their term
in Lewistown on the 1st OF September
instead Of the 20th. and | also regret
that any children are going to be In
convenienced by having the eighth
grade examination before they will
have ample time for review. How
ever in this connection, would like
TO suggest to Mr.. Frame. that children
should be trained for time and eter
nifty, not for show; educated In such
manner that they may grapple sue
cessfully with the practical problems
of life-not crammed In order thai
they may pass an examination.
Allow me to suggest further thai
another eighth grade examination
will be held in all of our schools
early in September, and industrious
pupils who have been fortunate In
