OUR RAILROAD.

| With all Of the talk Of a new rail-
road into Lewistown, it would be we'll
to remember that this city is much
better provided for in railroad way
| than many towns in the country 1t
has been something over two years
now since the Montana railroad was
completed into the city and although
the company owning the road has had
| to overcome innumerable obstacles,
it has accomplished wonders for Lew
istown and Fergus county.
Generally speaking, freight is
brought into Lewistown as promptly
over the Montana railroad as it is TAX
en- to other towns over one Of the con-
tinental roads. Excellent managem-
of Lombard up this way just as soon
as it arrives at that station. And
while stockmen have waited for weeks
on the Great Northern for stock cars
in which to ship their cattle to the
eastern markets, the local road has
accommodated it's patrons within
reasonable time after the requsition
for cars was made.
| The Montana r. r. company han
| dies approximately 1000 cars Of
freight annually. That means the
moving Of over so cars daily
| which is no small task for a road but
| $50 miles in length and operating
| through a stock and agricultural COM
munity. This is done without inter-
| ference with the passenger traffic
which is large, all things considered.
The officials of the Montana railroad
keep in close touch with Fergus coun-
ty and her people. President Harlow
makes a number of trips over the
road every year and is personally ac-
quainted with every detail of the
roads business. General Manager F
T. Robertson works day and night fol
the interests of the road and has q
personal interest in the upbuildine
and prosperity of the country through
which the road passes.
We would like to see another road
one of the transcontinental variety
pass through Lewistown. We believe
that such a road will sooner of late1
come this way But if it ever does ar
rive, we trust that some arrangement:
will be made whereby the Montana
railroad. the faithful pioneer amons
steam transportation lines to be bull
through our magnificent country, will
be taken care Of. Until the new roaC
comes and even after it is completed
the little road built up here through
the perseverance of R. A. Harloy
should receive the support and en-
couragement of the people of Lewis
town and Fergus county.

There will be lovely campaign

INDEPENDENCE TO SELL.

If the good people of Montana are
not satisfied with the manifold bless
ings of free press, it cannot be due
to any lack of newspapers ostentati-
ously devoted to declarations of inde-
pendence Nearly every daily paper
in the state is making a speciality Of
frequent reiterations of the assertion
that it is independent of corporation
control The best of it is that most of
them are telling the truth, and that
the corporations are quite as glad on
account of it as it is possible for the
public to be.
The Helena Independent congratu-
lates itself upon it's independence. Mr..
Heinze's Daily News, worthy success
or to Mr.. Heinze's Weekly Reveille as
| an independent newspaper, congratu-
| lates the Helena Record upon its

| cans to cultivate the field belonging

| Missoulian congratulates the party
| because the party organs, including

independence by whacking at every

SEEK TO REDEEM MINING GROUND.
Legal Battle PreCipitated Over Pos
session Of North MOCCaSin Claims,

A fine legal point was raised in the
case Of State Of Montana, ex rel, VS..
Sheriff L. P. Slater and John L.
Bright last week when the plaintiff
filed in the district court mandamus
proceedings to compel the sheriff to
issue certificate of redemption for
$S, 10, the amount rendered to the
sheriff for the redemption of the Nip
per, Blue Jay and Silver Bow mining
claims located in the North Mossasin
mountains and sold at sheriffs sale
on the 18th of November, 1904, to sat
isfy a mortgage which was held by
John l.. Bright.
The property was owned by Hal S.
Corbett,, formerly Of this state, but
later of Spokane, but was mortgaged
to Mr.. Bright 1t became necessary
for Mr. Bright to foreclose and the
property was sold at sheriff's sale.
Corbett or Moore, who was the trus-
tee, had one year in which to redeem
and Huntoon & Smith of this city
were appointed the attorneys to look
after the matter here. The last date
of redemption, that is, the 18th of No
vember, fell on Sunday of this year.
For that reason, the tender of the
money was not made to the sheriff un-
| til Monday, November 18th. The sher-
iff was instructed by r. Won Tobel,
Mr.. Brights attorney, not to issue a
| certificate of redemption and the
| mandamus proceedings to compel him
| to do so We're instituted.
The defendant filed a demurrer on
| the ground that the plaintiff had not
stated facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of action and this demurrer was
argued by the attorneys Saturday
evening. Judge Cheadle took the mat
ter under advisement and will prob
ably render his decision upon his re-
| turn to the city next week.

THE JOY OF LIVING.

Do you enjoy your life as it passes
or are you living on the hope of to-
morrow? So many men and women
spend their present days in hard
work and self denial with the vague
expectation of taking more enjoyment
after awhile. Their lives are a sort of
prelude as it We're, to the expected
time when they will really live. And
the end and they meet the Angel of
Death before they have written even
the first chapter.
We are possessed with spirit of
not having time to enjoy. That is the
keynote Of so much dissatisfaction of
life. We feel that when the tasks of
the moment are done we shall be
freer. and shall have time to say the
pleasant word or delight in the beau
tiful day. But the tasks are always
before us, and so we go on; always
looking for something better, while
the best we shall ever have is even at
our hand
We all know the woman who plods
through her daily duties, weary and
patient, even cheerful. She is hopins
for a distant time of ease and enjoy
ment, and all the while the opportuni
ties of joy are about her. The picnic
with the children in the woods, tn,
luxury of dressing prettily to meet he
husband. the flowers awaiting her b!
the roadside. or even a half hour a
ease in the hammock. She will sa!
she has not time for these things. Blu
she has. For these things are NOR,
important than her socalled duties
They are more likely to prolong ant
to also bring joy and happiness t

ATTENTION LADIES.
Judith Basin Milling Company Will
Give Away Some Souvenirs.

The Judith Basin Milling company
is this week completing the installa-
tion Of the big machinery in the new
mill and will be ready to turn on the
power by the first of next week. Rea-
lizing that the success Of any milling
product depends on the approval of
the ladies, the company has decided to
set aside next Tuesday, November 2S,
as Ladies' Day.
On that day between the hours Of
and in the afternoon and and in
the evening, all the ladies in Lewis
town and vicinity are invited to call
at the mill, look through the big plant,
see how the finest flour ever turned
out in the west is to be made and re-
ceive a valuable little souvenir, do
mated by the milling company.
Ladies. do not forget the date. All
are cordially invited to be there and
you will be given the most courteous
attention by President Barnes, Man
ager Benner and Mr.. Steinberg.

And there is the man who spends al
of his time and thoughts in the yer!
| scramble of dollars getting. In hi
own heart he intends to stop some
time and enjoy the rest of his days
But he does not know when to stop
or, if he does, he finds he has, in a
great measure. lost all power to en-
joy. For the power and capacity OF
enjoyment must be cultivated and
will grow weak and also dwarfed II
left unused.
But most people do not know how to
enjoy and many phantoms are chased
and many idols are worshiped in the
name of happiness. Wealth and dis
tinction, fame and popularity, the
having Of more than ones fellows.
these do not bring true happiness, but
rather envy and pain. Our extreme
civilization has given us so many
things to strive for that we lose
sight OF the simple little tnlngS at
hand. the true little things that are
always about us, within us, to make
us happy every day.
Enjoy life as it comes to you. Listen
to the bird-songs and the voices OF
the children. Linger to watch the
sunset or the opening Of a flower.
Take into your life the goodness, the
pleasure and the brightness of every
day, for 1--WE shall pass this way but
once" And then when you reach the
last day that is given you here, you
will be content and can say, Il have

PLEASE PAY UP.

Although our "Uncle Ira Cole" OF the
Forsyth Times is a republican from
his epidermis to the marrow OF MS
bones and sometimes burdens his col
umns with republicanism which does
not meet with the approval Of the ed
itor of the Democrat, he does get on
something in about every issue that
is worth reading. The following ex-
preston our sentiment to IT."
The first of the month we sent out
statements covering several hundred
dollars worth of printing bills. These
were ignored by many people, the re-
minder was far from expectations is
results. We dislike to dun subscrib-
ers through the columns of this paper,
and we realize while some can't pay,
others either won't. or are careless IN
the matter. They We're honestly cara
ed by hard labor. With third of the
money now due us we could pay our
debts, improve our paper, and have
money in the bank. Readers who take
the Times from two to five years
without remittance are making 1t
hard for us to pay rent, light, tele-
phone, coal, gasoline, paper, fire in
surance, life insurance, labor, freight,
express, ink, dray, dairy, ice, store
and numerous other bills. 1t costs to
live, and it costs more to print pa
per like ours. While there are a few
ungrateful cusses who play the 'goody
act" when they need a newspaper
friend or defender and then turn us
down when the first opportunity ar
rives after their troubles are appar-
emily over, there are few such, and we
cannot complain of our usual patron
age. We like to print, when we get
pay within reasonable time for ad-
vertising, job work and subscriptions;
and we like to turn this money over
to our butcher, baker and candle-stick
plimentary subscriptions, but don't
want those to whom we send bills to
figure themselves in that class. If
you are hard UP, pay when you can;
if you can't pay now, say So, and it's
o. X. with us. If you are careless
about the matter, prod up your men,
ory. If you intend to take the paper
and play the dead beat act by saying
Il never subscribed" or II don't get
it half the time,'' and then refuse pay
ment, say so, and We'll see about it,;
no one can take a paper from the Of
flee and refuse payment. On the 9TH
er hand, we don't intend to force the
paper on anyone; but persons who
take the paper from the post office
regularly, without marking it refused,
thus notifying the postmaster and the
publisher, is subscriber in the eyes
of the law and can be held account
able. We want patrons, but we want
the kind that pay up some time. The
other kind can patronize some other
shop. Cash is a great object in paying
taxes and other expenses above enum.
Grated. but in lieu of that we'd bt
willing to take wood, vegetables, bal
ed hay, pop corn, peanuts, meat
wooden legs, corsets or anything els
on account just to have some who hav,
ignored our statements so often shov
their good intentions. We don't wan
anyone to get mad and quit, withou
paying up, at any rate. The paper i.
