Mr.. BlEWITT VISITS lfWISTOWN
States That Tom Linton Lives Short
Distance From His Ranch

John Blewitt, formerly Of Copper
opolis, spent several days in the citv
lately on his return from visit To
the Lucket ranch at Sage creek.
where he is interested in bunch of
cattle. Mr.. Blewitt owned AT one
time large mining and ranching inter
estS in the immediate neighborhood
OF Copperopolis and on selling his
property in that locality removed TO
Ozark S Fork, near Red Lodge. Mr..
BleWitt is very fayorably impressed
with the future outlook and the pres
ent conditions Of Fergus county. but
Is still staunchly true to his home
locality. which he says is tie garden
spot Of Montana.
Thomas Linton, an oldtimer who
Is known to many Of the residents or
Fergus county, has 4 fruit farm a
short nile from the property of Mr..
Blewitt on Clark.s Fork and IS doing
well. When Mr.. Blrwitt expressed

W. D. DfATON WILL GET HIS Gun
The Oldtime Friends of Bill" Dea-
ton in the Hands of a PILGRIM.

The we'll known ivory handled Al Colts
which w. H. Deaton lost from his
room in the Waite lodging house this
spring has been recovered and in the
hands of pilgrim who did not know
what it was worth and tried to SOAK
it to George Stoudt for S..
Joe Pletinke is the euphoneous cog
nomen under which the miscreant, who
had the gun, travels and it is safe to
say that he will regret the circum-
stance under which he became the pos
SCISSOR Of the old As that Deaton treas
ured SO much. Pletinke walked into
the Mint saloon yesterday morning and
pulled the gun out. of his pocket offer
ing it to George Stoudt for IS. Stoudt
knew the gun and under the pretense
of getting some tobacco stepped into
Bebb's store and asked him to come
and Identify it. To be sure. Bebt
fetched w. Carson who had known
the gun for many years and he i'm
mediately identified it. Marshall Burke
was called and Pletinke was put in the
city bastile to answer to the charge of
stealing the gun. The accused man
states that he purchased the gun in
Great Falls for 81 about seven weeks
ago, but this story did not work as Mr..
Christy stated that he had known PIE
tinke for some time and identified him
as a gentleman who was not in the
habit of not carrying much ready cash
and it is thought highly improbable
that he would buy gun as long as
there was any whiskey left in the
state. Anyway the gun has been re-
covered and Pletinke will have to an
swer to charge of stealing it.
Mr.. Deaton counted the gun as one
of his most valuable possessions owing
70 old associations and as some one ex-
pressed it will jump four feet in the
air. when he hears of it's recovery.

been settled on. The Associated Press
hears on all sides nothing but the high
est commendation of President Roose-
velt's action, and if it results in a salts
factory adjustment Of terms, it is be-
lleved that this act is bound to have a
tendency to restore the relations be-
tween the United States and Russia
to something like the old friendly basis.
1t is known here that Japan's de-
mands will include an indemnity, in
the amount of which the president is
urging leniency. 1t is also now under
stood that Russia now admits in prin-
ciple the demand of an indemnity is
justified. 1t is suggested that the
terms of Japan will also include the ac-
knowledgement of a japanese protec-
torate over Korea, the total Russian
evacuation of Manchuria, the handing
over OF Russian interests on the Laio
Tung peninsula and at Port Arthur to
Japan, and the cession of the railroad
from Port Arthur to Harbin. The
question of the island of Skhalin will
also be raised,
1t is pointed out that while the pay
ment of an indemnity might affect the
N''iNiilS VI IAuSSlst dilloIlS the powers,
1t is not so serious as the loss of ter
rltory. besides, the payment of an in
demnity would be sooner forgotten
than the loss of territory, and would
leave no feeling of revenge.
Financial circles in London are of
the opinion that Japan will demand an
indemnity amounting to about $1,000
100000. that being their estimate of the
cost to the Japanese of the sixteen
months fighting. This is considered in
some quarters to be too large an esti-
mate of the expenditures. which are
thought to be netrer 5000, 00O 900.

Less Expensive Roads.

The town boards of Oneida County,
N. Y, make the following suggestion:
1--WE would not recommend that every
town in this county have built within
its borders a road costing on the aver
age $1,000 a mile, as we believe each
town should govern itself according
to its own local conditions, but we
have provided figures to show that no
matter whether town has high or
a low assessed valuation. it could, un-
der the S50,O00,O00 bond issue if Its
own board so desired, have, without
excessive taxation, just as wide and
just as expensive roads as any other
towns in any other part of the State.
If the county and town can devise
methods by which the roads to be built
should have an average cost of $1,000
mile instead of $4,000 a mile, the
charge TO the town under the bond is
sue for each mile Of highway built
would be $50 for each mile the first
year; and to the county, the increase
in taxes the first year for each mile OF
highway would be SO; ana TO the
State il would be 500. In other
words, under the S50,000,000 bond is
sue of the State, county and town
could obtain road costing $4,000
mile at an increase in their annual
tax levy of $500, which under the
present system of payment would call
for the expenditure OF $4,000 in cash,
or under the bond issue they could OBJ
tain road costing $4,000 mile for an
increase in their tax leyies of S400 In
place of raising $4,000 In cash. as pro.
vlded by the present method.
"Under the bond issue each town and
county is free to select as expensive a
road or as cheap road as the local
conditions require. Tribune Farmer.

The RanchWoman.

The success OF Mrs. w. N. Sherman
and the beauty Of her hospitable home,
the famous Minnewawa ranch in Cali.
fornia, should be an incentive to every
woman to hold fast to the home in
stinct while winning her way in the
business world. In the face of much
opposition and caustic comment Mrs.
Sherman, soon after leaving an east
ern college, bought large tract of un.
improved land near Fresno, deter
mined by her own efforts to develop
its possibilities.
Her success is indicated by the fact
that Minnewawa is valued at over FIVE
times the original investment. During
the busiest season there are over 400
people at work on the ranch and in the
cannery. Since discovering that by
personal oversight of the packing her
grapes brought from 800 TO $500 more
per carload than when left to the su.
pervision of others, Mrs. Sherman
very sagely concluded that woman
can be a real helper, even though she
leave the care Of the household TO
some one else. Mrs. Sherman has not
confined her efforts TO raisin growing
alone, but has a national reputation as
stock raiser and fruit grower.-Pil.

Dehorning the Calves.

Since the Introduction of pure bred
slres into the cattle regions of Texas,
the horns of Texas cattle do not reach
across State lines to interfere with
domestic concerns out of that State.
Nevertheless, the large cattle breeders
there are dehorning tile calves in order
TO mako them more acceptable in the
feed lots of the corn belt. AS result
OF this Texas paper says that no
trouble is experienced in selling Pan
handle yeqrlings. twos and threes this
year, in fact. there were not enough to
go around. Iowa took some, Kansas
lot and Colorado more than in many
years. Orders from Montana and
South Dakota were light. however, and
the whole Northern movement will
probably not be more than fifty per
cent. of that of 1904. A good corn crop
this year will mean wider market
for Texas young cattle in the belt. Our
calves are in good shape. none being
stunted, as was the case last year.
