CANADA VS..

No better comparison of the produce
tiveness of Montana soils, as COM
pared with those of Canada, without
irrigation, could be had than is fur
nished this year at the State fair.
Ever since the state fair was organ
lied Canada has been making an ex-
hibit of its dry land products in the
shape of grain and grasses. 1t has
been good and has attracted much at.
tention. This year it also makes an
exhibit of the same sort and SO do q
number of Montana counties. There
is not one of them but exceeds in the
quality that shown by Canada. When
it comes to a question of variety of
dry land farming products a compar-
ison is not made, because Canada,
while it undoubtedly raises other pro-
ducts beside hay and grain without
irrig alton, does not show them at the
fair.
Hundreds of Montana people in the
past two or three years have left Mon.
tana and gone into northwest Canada,
where they are engaged in farming
and stockgrowing. Those who have
tried the latter have met with greater
losses than they would have in this
state, owing to the greater severity of
the winters. AS to those who have
gone into general farming, or the pro-
duction of grain and hay, if they could
visit the state fair this year and COM
pare the dry land products of Fergus,
/ Broadwater, Yellowstone, Flathead
and other counties with those shown
!, by the country across the line they
would realize that the giving up theil
country was IA mistake: hat under thu
stars and stripes, in Montana, with
5 out irrigation, better crops can bt
. raised than in the dOminiOus OF king
Edward to the north.

accomplishes nothing else, the evi

1t is estimated that not less tina

RESIST HIGHER RATES,
Lumber Dealers Bring Suit Agains,
Great Northern Railroad.

PORTLAND, Oct. 9.-The Oregon &
Washington Lumber Manufacturer
association today filed suits in the
United States district court to secure
an order restraining the Hill and Har.
riman lines from putting into effect
the announced increase in the rates on
shipments of lumber from the north
west to the eastern markets. Judge
Wolverton issued an order, requiring
the defendants to appear October % to
show cause, il any they have, why the
Injunction prayed for should not be
issued.
The petition alleges that the pro.
posed increase is brought about by an
agreement between the defendant in
restraint of trade and violation of law
discriminat / against the lumber mer
of the northwest and in favor of those
of the east and southwest, and tina
the net earnings of the Hill and Harri
man lines have been steadily increas'
ing under the present rates, hence
there is no necessity for an advance
in the rates, which is calculated to ruiz
the lumber industry of the Pacific
coast.
The suit is brought to prevent tn
imposition of the advanced rates unit
such time as the interstate commerce,
commission shall have had an oppor
tunity to conduct hearings and deter

DEATH OF WILLIAM FRANCIS BRAND.

Rev. DR.. William F. Brand, of Emmo1
ton, died on Monday evening, just nine
days after the death oil his wife Mrs
Sophia Brand. While the immediate
cause was bronchial afft cticr from cold,
his death was undoubtedly due to grief
He was in his % | year ard until very
recently retained his wonderful v'gor.
There is no cierg, man i'll the state
better known than III. Brand He had
following which included persons in
in every station OF life. Content to pass
his best days in a community remote
from large interests yet he could have
held a stationin the most brilliant walks
of life. He possessed a commanding and
powerful intellect and his mind showed
a wonderful degree of reasoning power,
while brusque frankness about his
nature covered loving heart which felt
deeply the pangs and woes of humanity
No one ever had better friend than DR..
Brand and his interest in everybody was
always marked. Although his ripe years
preclude much more active work, vet
his death is a distinct loss. even ii viewed
from our most selfish standpoint.
The -Egis has only recently published
a sketch of DR.. Brands life and we hope
some time in the near future to put in our
columns some "reminiscences of his close
personal friends, when it will be pleas
ant duty to recall some of his many good
deeds.
His funeral took place yesterday morn
ing, the interment was by the side of his
wife in the cemetery of his beloved St.
Mary's Church, which owes its existence
and influence to him. The officiating
ministers were Rev. DIR. Paine, rector of
Mt. Calvary Church, Baltimore, Rever-

In Memoriam.

An abiding vacancy fingers in our home
that helpful willing hand is missed. VIZ
could not at first realize that God in his good
ness and love would take our dear father
from us, but as he grew worse the truth
forced itself upon us. He longed for the sum
mons to come. that he might go to thai
Bright Land" His Christian life began il
early manhood, and with unhesitating faitr
he served his Master for many years. HI
now leaves to us Il good name, that which is
rather to be chosen than great riches. The
love of home, wife and children were all in al
to him, and our idoliZed father was borne
to the grave, our hearts seemed crushing
meath the load. oh father, the memory o
your unspotted life and loving and gentle dis
position fingers with like bright ant
beautiful star, and thy memory will nevel
grow dim until we too shall come to ioir
thee, and may it be without one link missing
in our chain. Sweet be thy Slumber."
OH how hard we tried to save him,
But our care was all in vain;
Angels came and took him from us.
He is now in Heaven free from pain.
We do not chide, dear Lord, we know
You needed him above;
Yet tears we cannot Subdue.
For so great was our love.
Our hearts are sad and lonely
In our once glad home tonight.
The fireSide is dark and gloomy
Which thy presence made SO bright.
And the eyes that smiled so sweetlv
Answering back each look of love,
Now are gazing on the glorcS
OF the beauteous realms above.
But a year not distant cometh
When we tread the vast unknown;
We shall find our darling father
Seated round the great white throne.
BY HIS LOVING WIFE AND CHILDREN.

YOUNG.-In loving remembrance of on
dear little boy, William c. Young, who de
parted this life one year ago. 1906, aged l
months and = days.
The spirit is not dead,
Though low the body lies
But freed from sin and sorrow fed
To dwell beyond the skies.
No more that little voice we hear
Shall fill his mothers listening ear;
No more his cries shall join to swell
The songs that of a Savior tell.
Twas hard to part with him we know,
But the time is set for all to go;
So little William is now at rest
Twas God the Father who knew best.
His little hands were folded
Across his little breast;
His little place is vacant now,
He's at his place of rest.
The Lord thought best to take him.
He was too bright to live;
We can only think twas best,
For the Lord takes and gives.
One we loved has died and left us
For the dark and silent tomb
Closed his eyes In sleeping slumber,
Faded in his early bloom.
