LAND WITHDRAWALS.
Lands Selected by State Included in
Late Withdrawal.

\ great deal Of land recently selected
by the state and not vet approved by
the Washington officials, is included in
the extensive order of withdrawal made
a short time ago, which withdrew g.
100000 acres of land in the Judith dis
trict. This land had been leased to a
number of cattle and sheep growers in
the western part of the county, among
them being the Sage creek sheep COM
pany. B. E. Stack, William Shelton, w.
A. Waite and Bower Brothers, be-
sides many other parties. The pro-
cedure expected to follow will be to
cancel the selections ,and as a con-
sequence, the leasings, as well. The
land will then be thrown open as pub
lie range, and the sheepman and stock
men can use the range without pay
ing any revenue to the state.

THAT FURNITURE ANNEX.
Another Progressive Move by Chas.
Lehman & Co.

Another progressive move has just
been made by the energetic merchants
Charles Lehman & Co. A short time
ago, owing to the rapid increase in their
business, this firm decided to remodel
their store so as to make more room
for some of their departments, particu-
larly the dry goods department. In or
der to do this they found, it necessary
to rent the elegant store building of Nc
Donald & Charters. next door to the
First National bank. This store room
is used as a furniture department by
these business expansionists, and an
excellent display of the largest and fin
est stock of furniture in central Mon
tana is now to be seen in the building.
J. S. Towle, late Of Spokane, an ex-
pert furniture salesman, has charge Of
the department, which presents All at
tractive appearance. In the '.ea flu
ture he will be assisted by his wife,
who will come from Minneapolis where
she mas latelv Deen IN the employ OF one
Of the largest furniture stores of that
city.
The space vacated by the moving Of
the furniture is now utilized by the dry
goods and gents furnishing depart
ments as well as by an exclusive ladies'
shoe department.
The dry goods department is one of
the finest in the state and is a credit to
a city the size of Lewistown. 1t is one
Of the best lighted, best ventilated and
best heated departments in Montana.
Since this important move on the part
of the new manager, Louis Lehman.
the business in this department has
been doubled and more help has been
added. Another great improvement
will be made in this big store within a
few weeks. when the ceiling and shelves
will be painted in white. This will add
to the attractiveness of IT," store.

Apropos Of Egg Nog.

Harvey Jordan of the Southern Cot

apropos Of egg nog and Easter:
"The cocktail and the nog and the
julep and the cobbler are out -and- out
drinks, full-blooded American drinks.
and there are some men who take an
almost patriotic pride in them.
Il know certain Colonel Dash
whose pride in our native drinks Is
immense. Colonel Dash was convers-
ing one day at a reception with a
beautiful young lady, college girl.
who was much interested in birds.
"The colonel and the college girl had
a good deal of pathological conversa-
ton together, and at one point the girl
said:
Il do so love all birds, all OF them.
But the very darlingest and sweetest is
the water wagtail. Isn't the water
wagtail dear? Don't you adore the
water wagtail, colonel?'
"The colonel, anxious to change the
topic. smiled and replied:
swell, no. I can't say that I'm par
ticularly gone on water wagtails:
rather think l prefer whisky cock
tails"

A Sweeping Blow At Trusts.

These are troublesome days for the
trusts. Having defied public sentiment
for years and won many victories in
the courts the monopolists apparently
believed themselves above all law.
But the trusts are waking up to the
fact that they have thoroughly
aroused public sentiment which even
recognize. There is man in the White
House at Washington who is leading
the public in the effort to curb trusts.
Judges are realizing that in dealing
with trusts the law must be founded
upon the public veal and justice and
not upon technicalities.
The decision of the United States
supreme court that witnesses sum-
moned in suits against trusts must an
swer and that books papers, contracts
and secret agreements must be pro-
duced is a body blow to the trusts. The
immunity law passed by Congress. pro-
tecting witnesses under the antitrust
act, is considered to mean that only the
individual witness shall receive its
benefits, and that he is not excused
from testifying against his corporation
or the officers thereof.
No longer can trusts defy the inter-
state commerce laws nor hide secret
transactions from officers Of the law.
Officials can no longer take refuge In
the plea that they will incriminate
themselves They must give facts OF
go to Jail for perjury.
This is the most sweeping blow the
| trusts have yet received and it Is likely
to cause considerable quaking for what
| they have done and revision of ac-
| lions in the future
