Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1905-11-28

Ex-senator Power of Helena was In
Lewistown several days during the
past week, his first visit since the
spring of 1901. He was surprised to
see the growth Lewistown had made
since that time and was pleased to OBJ
serve and learn of the material ad-
vancement of the county generally.
He thinks Fergus county has a very
bright future, destined to become one
of the greatest agricultural, wheat
growing and mining counties in the
state, as it is now one of the leading
stock growing counties. While Mr..
Power would not care to be quoted
as speaking authoritatively he thinks
it is the purpose of the Great North
ern to build the Billings and Great
Falls branch and that it will not be
long before surveying crew will be
in the field locating the route. Speak
ing of the slump in the beef market
this year Mr.. Power said it was due
to the large number of cattle placed on
the market from all over the west
and southwest. He thinks the close
shipments of cattle this year will re-
suit in better prices next season to
Montana growers.

THE STATE OF LINCOLN.

Whatever may be the fate of Ari
iona and New Mexico in the consider
alton of statehood for the territories,
it seems to be generally agreed that
Oklahoma and Indian Territory ought
to come in at the next session of con-
gross as one state. says the Minneap-
oils Journal. Oklahoma and Indian
Territory together have nearly mil
lion people. They are well advanced
in respect Of railroad building. the
building of cities, improvement of
farms, the development of mineral re-
sources. the extent and importance
OF the cattle industry and in other
ways These two territories consti-
tute a very rich and productive sec
ton Of the country. They are EMIT
led to recognition as a state.
1t is true that there are large num-
bers of Indians and good many ne
grOes there, but the Indians are for
the most part civilized and educated
and capable of exercising the func-
tions of the citizen, while the negroes
are perhaps as well qualified for cit
izenship as those of any other part of
the country.
To this new state it is proposed to
give the name of Lincoln in honor of
the martyred president We have
honored Washington by giving his
name to one of the new states. 1t
would be altogether in order to confer
Lincolns name upon the next one.
The situation as to Arizona and New
Mexico is, however, quite different.
There is neither volume OF population,
development of resources, improve
nent in facilities for transportation
or fitness on the part of the people
themselves for self-government which
characterize Oklahoma and Indian
Territory Justice to Arizona reQuir-
es that discrimination be made as to
the qualifications for citizenship be-
tween the people of that territory and

The heavy fall of snow is causing
stockmen and agriculturists to wear
the smile of gladness. Unless the
storm is followed by severe cold and
the snow becomes incrusted it will
benefit the ranges, while the prospects
for a banner wheat crop next summer
will be greatly improved. AS a gen.
eral thing it is the early SHOWS that
remain in the mountain ranges and
feed the springs and creeks during the
summer. There is more snow in the
mountains now than at any time dur
ing last winter and the greater pOr-
ton, if not all of it. will remain there.
An old-timer once said, you can't
have a good summer without having
a hard winter" This might be modi,
fed by saying, that to have good
summer there must be plenty of snow
in the mountains. With streams run
ming full and the usual spring rains
next seasons crops should be bump
ers. Plenty of snow does not neces
sarily mean a hard winter.

there was some delay in securing the

at Friends educational institutions on
the violent form of sports, which, he
said, had caused the death of more
than two hundred youths in the United

injuries more or less serious to nine
hundred boys and young men. He said
that football gave an impetus to the
