IS DOING COCO WORK..

Work of the kind that promises to
be productive of results is being done
by the Commercial committee, and
that body should have the thanks and
hearty cooperation of every citizen
of Billings. The gentlemen composing
the committee are going about mat
tiers in a manner that leaves no doubt
as to their purpose and the earnest
ness of their efforts. Not only are
they devoting their time and labor to
the upbuilding of the community, but
they are also generous with their
money on every occasion when its ex-
penditure warrants belief that good
will come from it. They are working
on broad plans and have the correct
principle-the improvement of commu-
nay conditions by appeal to individual
desire for betterment. This they
show in the way in which they have
undertaken to secure location here OF
a beet sugar factory. Having first
interested those who have the needed
capital to carry out such a project,
they are now seeking to make it fea-
sable by showing to the farmers of
the valley how they can benefit them
selves by becoming producers OF the
raw material absolutely necessary for
the maintenance of a plant of that
sort. The whole question has re-
solved itself into one of reciprocal
benefits. Without beets conveniently
near a sugar factory cannot be run
at a profit, and without a factory
close by beets cannot be raised to
advantage to the grower. The two
factors are interdependent, and the

Judging from the e~laborateness
with which they dwelt in their post
thanksgiving articles on the selfish
ness of the modern observance of the
soliday, some of the Montana editors
did not practice that abstemiousness
at the table which is supposedly con
ducive to longevity and unimpaired
health.

D,lution Extraordinary.

A member Of the French academy
reported that twenty-five experiments
ON animals showed each time that
poisoned blood is active even after d.
luton 1000, OO1, 100000 times. The
strength Of the average homeopath-
ic dose is from about the third to
the sixth decimal. This demonstrates
that those who say that there Is no
medicine in a homeopathic dose be-
tray ignorance.

GOOD A RESULT.

In addition to resulting in the prob.
able punishment of the guilty ones,
the trial of persons in Oregon for OBJ
tanning by fraudulent methods titles
to large areas of public lands will I'M
d%oubtedly also have other beneficial
results. The matter will call atten-
ton to the necessity for a revision OF
the land laws. No matter what may
have been the intent and designs OF
the trainers of the laws and no mat
ter how we'll those laws may have
answered their purpose in the past,
the time has come when they must
either be repealed and replaced with
new ones or they must be so amended
as to make further frauds under
them impossible. What remains of
the public domain must be conserved
for the actual settlers, the home
builder, the a who desires a rea-
sonable amount of land for the sup
port of himself and his family. Unless
something is done soon the land
grabbers will illegally possess them.
selves of the remainder of the avail
able domain intended for the benefit
of the people and those who are to
come will find that they have been
cheated out of what was intended to
be a heritage for all the people.
Montana has suffered grieyously,
along with the other western states,
in this respect, and will continue to
suffer if the existing laws are permit
ted to remain in operation. Unlike
it's neighbor to the west, it has not
been fortunate enough to be pos
sessed of officials who were SO
ShreWd as to ind out the guilty ones
and bring them to justice. Although
unsuccessful, Senator Gibson did
what he could during his now ending
term to secure a repeal of the laws
that make impossible steals OF the kind
that have been unearthed in Oregon.
For this he is entitled to the thanks
of the people of the state. Had other
western senators and representatives
been equally as loyal to the people
of the respective states and less eager
to do the bidding of wealthy corpora
lions and private holders OF immense
tracts greedy to add still more to their
lordly domains, something might have
been accomplished. However, he
sowed the seed; let us hope that it
will bear fruit at the next session of
congress.
