One Mans View

A large territory CONclcu oN tilV
Kootenai reserve on the north side
Of the Kooteuai river and extend
ing into Flathead county, Mont,
many acres OF valuable
timber and agricultural lands
which are now practically a public
loss owing to the restrictions Of
the reserve. This is a regretful
fact in itself inasmuch as no desir-
able settlers will venture within
the ironclad boundaries of a reserve
anywhere, no NATTER how far
reaching or liberal may be the
clause granting homestead rights
to the settler A man generally
prefers to spend his time and
energy on a place where his in
dustry will in due time be reward
ed by legal title to his holding
without having to pass through
the formidable array of officialdom
and red tape which the present
system necessitates.
But, notwithstanding these
obstacles, there are still many
openings left here for men of the
right stamina, with the go-ahead
determination which means sue
cess even in the primeval wilder
ness. First of all there are many
places which could be converted
into good ranches and the timber
disposed of to good advantage after
of course, a title to the land would
be obtained.
The climate is moderate and
delightful, no extremes of temper
ature. The soil is rich and very
productive. No danger need he
apprehended from floods or other
devastations. Everything can be
raised here that is cultivated with
success in any of the mildel
climates. The cultivation of frui

Not exactly. The instinct appears to
be very much alive. Forty years ago.
in 1866, our exports were S34S. $50 522.
In 1906 they were 81. 1913, 107 $50, an in
crease of 800 per cent. In 1866 our total
foreign trade was $7s3,671. 5SS; forty
ysafs later it was SO, 119.172 $40, not
counting trade with Porto Rico and
Hawai-, which will bring the total to
nearly $4,000, 00O,OO0-an increase of
over 400 per cent. Forty years ago our
imports were $43-l,s12 ,O60; forty years
later they were 81 49,, 064,694. All this
would seem to indicate a considerable
attention to foreign trade, and with a
fair degree Of success. 1t suggests that

The British government long ago de-
clared the burning of q living widow
on her husbands funeral pyre to be
murder on the part of all accessory to
the act; yet still many OF the poor
women desire, as a pious act, TO commit
suicide in the torturing flames. A re-
markable case has just been reported
from Nepaul in Hindoo journal,
showing that the native women still do
not revolt against the time honored sac
rifice demanded of them.
An elderly woman announced her in
tention to immediate herself on her hus-
bands funeral pyre, and was at once
honored for il and visited by all her
relatives and acquaintance. The pyre
was made, and $4,000 people assembled
by ii: but at the last moment the gov
eminent officials interviewed and pre-
vented the burning of the live woman.
She had already distributed all her
large possessions, and left herself PEN

days after her previous sacrifice had
been prevented.
