Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-08-03

A great portion of the United States
is now looking to the Pacific coast for
its supply of lumber. Not only the
east but the south patronize the lum-
Der mills of Washington and Oregon,
while the demand from the Philippines
and foreign countries is increasing
Large fortunes are now being made
by those who were shrewd enough to
see what must be the ultimate out
come of the depletion of the pine for
ests of Minnesota. Wisconsin and 9TH
er states. An instance of this are the
purchases made by the Weverhauser
Timber company from the Northern
Pacific. six years ago. In the deal
100000 acres changed hands at $3.50
an acre. or s5.5SO.O00 At the present
price of stumpage it is estimated that
the same property now is worth at
least s45 900. 900. or a profit of $780, $50 :
900. With the great demand for lum-
Der and the monopoly of such a vast
acreage of timber land the chances for
lower prices in the products of the
mills in the near future are not reas.

From Maine to California, from Can
ada to New Mexico, there is demand
for labor to save the crops. Men are
also needed in railroad construction,
irrigation enterprises and other kinds
of employment. 1t was not always
thus.

Even those who cannot agree with
Mr.. Bryan in his views on political
questions will endorse the utterances
made in his address before the Inter
parliamentary Union in London. when
he gave expression to the following:
Il am glad that the time is coming
when public opinion will be more and
more a controlling force. am glad
the time is coming when the moral
sentiment of one nation will affect the
decision of other nations. l am glad
the time is coming when they will
realize that war between two nations
affects others besides themselves. I
am glad the time is coming when the
world will not stand idly by when two

posing that it shall be settled by peace

Now that it is planned to have an
exhibit of the products of Fergus
county at the coming state fair every
one interested should cooperate with
Mr.. Littlejohn to make it complete
and attractive. In grain. grasses.
vegetables and minerals. all combin-
ed as the product of one county. Fergus
should make as good a showing as any
other county in the state. Other coun-
ties there are which have an advantage
in railroad facilities and nearness to
the place of exhibition. but this should
not deter or discourage Fergus from
making creditable exhibit. While
Fergus has not made great progress
in fruit culture. and conditions may not
be as favorable here for success as
in some other counties, in many other
respects its resources are unsurpass-
ed. A creditable display of what We
have and what can be done here is all
that is necessary at this time. Even
that would surprise many of our own
citizens.

PAYSON SUFFERING
FROM THE THR0ES OF
MENTAL PARALYSIS.

In its last issue The Paysor
tilobe-H Header seemed to be suffer
ing from an attack of acute de
lerium The reason of its loss Of
possible equilibrium was occasionet
from the fact that the manager Of
the Studebaker Go. had placed Mr.
Brockbank, resident Of Spanish
Fork, to look after the interests OF
the Company at this place, over a
resident Of Payson who was desir-
Gus of the position.
1t not only attacks the business
men of Spanish Fork, but some of
the citizens of its own town, be-
cause they come to Spanish Fork
to trade. That there are good
and adequate reasons why so many
of the good people of Payson come
to Spanish Fork to trade, there is
no doubt Payson people do not
come to Spanish Fork to trade Just
for the sake of the six mile drive.
They come here because Of the bet
ter fac lities offered than their own
Town affords They come here be-.
cause there are so much larger as
sentiments to chose from. They
come here because our merchants
give them greater value for the
outlay than they can get at home.
The Globe Header may advise their
people to keep their money at
home till doomsday, but unless the
home market offers, at least equal
trading facilities, their advise will
be a mere gratuity.
The Globe. Headers talk about
Payson people being hoy cotted"
by Spanish Fork is simply childish.
There are Payson people doing
business at Spanish Fork to-day
because of the wider field it offers
for business purposes.
On the same page the Globe
Header states that fine Stake
Tabernacle is to be erected at Pay
son to cost $20,00000. Taking
it's cue that all money is to be kept
at home, to be invested at home,
are we to understand that the
Globe. Header will assume the posi-.
ton that Payson people, Payson
energy, and Payson money only is
to be used in the erection of that
buildingY Will it advise Spanish
Fork that donation of money for
the purpose of erecting a building
at Payson, from a business point
of of view, would be an unwise
Investment? Will it advise the
people of Spanish Fork that If they
have money to donate for church
buildings, the course of wisdom
would dictate, that it be used at
home to complete unfinished build
ings, and for the erection of others
that may be required?
We do not believe that the ma
Jority of the good people of Pay
son hold to The views expressed in
their local paper. One thing is
certain, the mental status of the
editor of the Globe Header is in a
condition of unstable equilibrium
and, unless soon rectified, its pos
SCISSOR may find himself an inmate
of the state institution at Provo.

SENATOR TILLMAN'S
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

assisss!sssR3&x~x@xeSs z z -

IF there is any idea of making a
farce, with me as clown, those who
imagine that l am not going to fight
for an effective railroad rate bill are
of their base"
Senator Tillman is not choice in ex-
preston nor always proper in his oe-
pertinent, but there is nothing in all
the spectacular record of his sena-
toTial career to indicate that he is not
sound in his honesty and staunch in
his fidelity to whatever he believes to
be right principles.
The railroad senators of the inter
state commerce committee may think
they have perpetratsd a rich joke IN
sending the Hepburn bill, President
RCOsevelt's pet measure to the floor OF
the senate in charge of Senator Till
man, the presidents bitterest enemy.
But if Senator Tillman is wise and
honst enough to avail himself OF the
unexpected and rare opportunity
thrust upon him the joke will curdle
the laugh will turn to the howl of dis
may. the farce will be converted into
melodrama.
He has the senatorial bull firmly by

There is a danger that after the
completion of the battleship Connec-
ticut and the small training ships now
being built at navy yards the old
habit of giving all the work OF con-
struction to private contractors Will
be resumed on the one score of econ
omy, it being shown that ships can be
built somewhat cheaper by contract
than in a government yard. 1t APP
pears to be the opinion of many high
in the councils of the navy department
that it would be better to devote the
plants of the navy yards entirely 10
repair work and give out all new con-
struction by contract.
Aside from the somewhat higher
cost of ship construction at govern
ment yards which would alone seem
to Justify the construction of vessels
by contract in preference, there are
other arguments that warrant the be
lief that it would be wise TO have at
least one vessel in course of construc-
ton at all times in the larger of our
navy yards. Mere repair work does
not holG together competent force OF
workmen like new ship construction.
In order to build a new ship OF large
tonnage it is necessary that navy
yard should be equipped in every par
ticular. 1t is of great advantage Tor
the government to have a few plants
fully equipped to undertake the larg
est and finest construction at any
time.
Another strong argument in favor OF
construction at navy yards is it III
