rHoRoFARE.

On last Sunday morning we had the
first sermon from our new pastor, the Rev.
Thomas A. Farley, who came to US from
Gravity, Iowa. Hepreached from the text:
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three; but the greatest of these is charity, T"
or love, as he termed it, Loye to God, and
love for our neighbor, and an unselfish de-
sire for the good Of our neighb0r. In other
words, high ideals, ''all along the line, " as
they say out West. Now, in Thorofare, we
have more ideals than ideas, and when we
have finished with the weather, and the
crops, if we don't talk about our neighbors,
what on earth can we talk about ? As an
old lady said. in the class meeting which
followed the service, it is not that we don't
love our neighbors, but we don't love all of
their ways. The sermon was good one,
entirely to the point, and touched the
hearts of the listners.
The Rev. James A. Farley, Mrs. Farley
and their four sons arrived on last Saturday

Many Hard Luck Stories.

The county assessors throughout
Montana are usually the recipients of
many hard luck stories about this time
OF year, it being the season when the
owner of taxable property feels nearer
the poor house than at any other time.
One of these stories, written on an as
sessment list, was recently received by
the assessor of Chouteau county to
this effect:
II am all broke up this year. Have
sold my team to pay store debt. The
property given here has mostly been
sold since March l, 1906, to pay store
debt. I have only two head of cattle,
two sheep and n pig, and my i'm
provements as listed by you when you
assessed me the last time. In fact the
drouth has broke mt up, 80 that l will
put in no grain this year, but will lie,
my land out on shares and prove ur
this year. Please see my condition.
I hope it will be better next year. A
pony on my hands over twenty years
old Is not worthy of mention, as he
has been offered as a gift and re.
fused"
We are pleased to state that the
drouth has broken and it has been
raining ever since this letter was writ.

4 $4,000 Livestock Deal.

The largest livestock and ranch
property deal of the season was made
today by Chas. f. Duer, president of
the Stockmen's National bank, who
purchased the interest of the late S.
w. Hamilton, of Winona, Mimi, in
the Benton Sheep company. The in.
terest consists of 555 shares of the
capital stock Of the company, whose
capitalization is $3.50, 600. The deal
was virtually made by wire several
days ago, but the receipt of the neces-
sary papers transferring the stock
closes the transaction. The price paid
was $4,000.
The Benton Sheep company owns
one OF the largest and best improved
plants in Montana, its various ranches
being conveniently located, and hav.
ing a total area of about 5000 acres,
all decided land. 1t also holds under
lease from the state a large tract oil
land that increases its facilities for
successfully running several outfits Of
sheep. The wool clip of the company
generally amounts to about 200, OO(
pounds, and is eagerly sought ate,
by eastern buyers who visit tets par

Another Blackfcct Bill

WASHINGTON, May IS. In order to
straighten out the tancle in the Black
feet reservation bill Congressman
Dixon has regularly introduced q new
bill to open the Blackfeet reserva.
ton. The Indian office the
house Indian committee that favora.
BILE report Of the bill will be ready for
the meeting OF the Indian committee
Thursday.
The trouble regarding the measure
resulting in the rejection by senate
and house conferees arose over the at.
tempt to enact general legislation by
attaching the bill as a rider in the
senate TO the appropriation bill, thus
preventing consideration of the mat
ter by the house.
The provision to settle the Conrad
ditch law suit in the original senate
amendment served also to arouse the
opposition of the Indian Office. 1t is
unfortunate that the matter was no,
allowed in the beginning to take the
regular Legislative course, as the bill
would undoubtedly have become law
before this. II is believed there will
be plenty time, however, for the bill to
pass both houses before ad adjournment.

Testing Wolf Bounty Law.

HELENA, May 2S.-The CONSTITUTE.
onality OF all bounty laws passed by
the state legislature since 1895 was
vigorously attacked in the supreme
court today, when that body heard ar
gumenss upon the application of L. r.
Terrett for a writ Of habeas corpus.
The first question to be determined
was as to whether Terrett was in Gus
tody, and the court held him con ,truc.
lively so.
Terrett was arrested on a forgery
charge, it being averred that as boun.
ty inspector for Rosebud county he
had fraudulently certified as to the
presentation of scalps for payment OF
bounty.
Terrett's lawyers not only attacked
the constitutionalit Of the bounty
laws, but averred that the information
upon which the arrest was made was
defective in that it did not state a
statutory otfense. In this manner the
jurisdiction Of the court was also at.
tackled.
For the state. Assistant Attorney
General Hall declared that the offense
was clearly one of forgery, because Of
the inserting of alleged fictitiou.
scalps. Each side was given five days
in which to file briefs.

Scenes In San Francisco

The moving picture entertainment
given in the opera house last evening
by the Moore Concert company af-
forded an opportunity 70 local resi-.
dents to appreciate the magnitude of
the San Francisco earthquake and
fire disaster. 4 series of films about
1900 feet in length gave a life like
representation of Market street, the
principal business district of San
Francisco, before the recent calamity,
the moving panorama including large
hotel blocks and the other massive
structures that were landm arks in this
busy thoroughfare. The views were
apparently taken from a moving
vehicle that traversed the full length
OF Market street to the ferry house.
Another series of pictures presented
the scenes OF ruin and desolation on
Market street just after the disaster
smoking piles of debris, fragments OF
standing walls, streets deserted by
vehicles and pedestrians, and large
crowds of homeless refugees assembled
at the parks. 1t was a striking con.
trast to the busy scenes first pre-.
scented.
The views were exceptionally good
and realistic. and were highly appre.
ciated by the large crowd that filled
the opera house.
