NORTHERN MONTANA PORK.
Owners Of Neidringhaus Hog Ranch
Figure Handsome Profits.

The big hog ranch that is being
operated by St. Louis capitalists who
were formerly interested in the Home
Land and Cattle company, the Nm
outfit, is the subject OF a read able ar.
ticle in the Helena Independent. The
enterprise is given this mention:
1t is a fact not generally known that
the second largest hog ranch IL the
United States is situated ia Montana.
1t belongs to F. G. Neidringhaus, of
St. Louis, one Of the larges, manufac.
turers of granite ware in the country.
The property consists of 5000 acres OF
we'll watered land, as fine as a be
found in the state and lies just across
the Missouri river from Oswego, in
Dawson county.
Three years ago Mr.. Neidringhaus
purchased the ranch and began rails
ing hogs. He has spent thousands of
dollars ia improving the property UNI
til now it is considered the most up.tO.
date and modern farm in the north.
west. 1t has been Mr.. Neidringhaus'
policy not to do any farm work by
hand that could be done by machinery.
He has large gasoline power engines,
huge steam engines for blowing, other
machinery to grind barley and peas,
alfalfa cutters and every other modern
invention designed to supplant hand
or horse labor.
When he purchased the property he
determined to raise hogs and has fol.
lowed q program that was carefully
mapped out on the start. Most of his
pigs were bought in the Bitter Root
valley, where pure bred animals have
been raised for years. In 1903 Marcus
Daily shipped in the finest swine money
could purchase. DR.. Mills is a large
breeder of pigs until now the Bitter
Root strain has become infused in
nearly all the swine herds of the state.
This spring will be the first season
that Mr.. Neidringhaus has raised pigs
for the market. His crop this year
will be owe 1880 little porkers and
every succeeding year this will be In.
creased until he is raising annually
for the market 10, 600 hogs, which is
figured will supply the markets OF
Butte, Anaconda and Helena. With
pork selling at five cents u pound,
which has been the average price to
the growers for several years, and the
pigs weighing $50 pounds, each animal
will bring a little over s. a head.
The cost of raising and keeping the
animals until they are ready for mar
ket is two dollars q head, leaving 6
net profit of Eve dollars on each ami
NAL. When Mr.. Neidringhaus raises
10000 pigs each year as he intends te
do, his net profit will be $50, 900 a year
While many pigs are raised in Mon
ana the supply is not equal to the de
mand and the slaughterers are com
PEELED to ship in hogs from Nebrask;
and other middle western states.

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL,.
1t Would Be An Expensive Luxury To
the Taxpayers Of Chouteau
County.

Edator River Press:
Averaging the whole United States,
only one person In twenty ever gets
any schooling after leaving the local
district or grammar school: in Mon
tana probably not more than one in
thirty. The establishment of a county
high school in some of our counties
has o changed this for always that
school is secured by a town where a
high school already exists, and the
many obstacles preventing attendance
at q town high school effectually pre-.
vent attendan at any school not
in the immediate neighborhood OF the
child's home.
In a county as large as Chouteau-
a territory larger than Belgium,
Denmark or Switzerland, and in one
end Of which three of our states may
be located without overlapping-it is
absurd to talk of establishing a single
county high school. To render these
institutions available to the people of
this county there should be a large
number Of them-and that is impracti.
cable. Equity requires that there
shall be fifty county high schools or
none. II we establish but one, the re.
suit will be simply this: that some
twenty or more families that cannot
get to a high school of any kind will
be taxed to benefit the o family that
can-and this the family best able to
pay its wi bills. The maintenance
Of a county high school will require q
yearly levy of from two to three mills
on the dollar, which is comparable
with the levy now necessary to support
the local district schools. Besides
that, at the outset about four times the
annual cost will be expended on build.
ings and apparatus.
Now, so b~urdensome a tax, if inn
posed at all, should be expended in
improving the local schools where the
taxpayers get their schooling. This
would be fair. 1t would also accord
with common sense, business princi.
piles and a sound public policy. For
the returns would be greater-say
twenty to one-and of an incompara.
bly, better kind. inasmuch as the edu'
cation of the whole population in the
essentials is vastly more importan,
than comforting upon q few that
merest smattering Of higher accom-.
plishments afforded by county high
schools. 1t is not good for any coun.
try to rob the general mass of the peo.
pie in order to confer wealth upon q
favored few-whether that wealth con
sists in lands, money, social rights
or education.
II we wish to emphasize the distinc
ton between al educated and 40 unedu'
Gated class by centraliziug the instru'
mentalities of education; or desir,
that some one town shall have q loca
high school without paying for it; O
wish q few selfish, wire-pulling teach
ers to get bigger salaries withou
earning them: we should vote for
county high school. The educationa
bunco steerers everywhere are in ia
vor of such schools and invariabl,
tell US that it is patriotic and en-
lightened to vote that way and pa,
J taxes to all eternity for that purpose
: II Chouteau county has u majority o
suckers, the measure will carry. Blu
> not otherwise.

State Immigration.

Either some OF the candidates
for governor are very stupid or
they take the people Of the state
to be SO, from the way ii WHICH
they persist in stating, IN the
face Of the facts, that Mr.. Scott
advocates flooding the state with
dagoes.
Some years ago Mr.. Scott
wrote an article for the Manutac
turers' Record OF Baltimore. III
which he advocated white immi-
grafton to Mississippi, either
small farmers, tenants or labor
ers. III this connection he wrote
that after spending some months
in Europe investigating farm Ia
Dor there. he was of the opinion
that theItalian peasants OF north
ern italy were the best material
for our purposes. They were
accustomed to q climate some
what like ours, were Industrious
aud orderly and would make
good hands and good tenants.
This is the basis Of the "Dago
Scare that Truly, sisson and
Brewer try to use to stampede
the voters away from MIR. Scott.
In bis platform, Mr.. Scott has
nothing to say on this question,
not because he does not believe
init as an industrial proposition,
bus because he knows It is not a
political question. and least Of
all a political issue, lie wants
and we all want, TO see d larger
proportion Of hitekmen ID souE
state, provided they arc ofstge
proper sort aeeu BEACON.

Mr.. JonGR.. Sharp Williams i


Mr.. JoisiBs Sharp Williams is
giving bis people some useful IN
structions in politics, says the
Baltimore (Md,) Sun. In his
speeches be ID telling them that
the sopth has less than one-thira
.ot the members OF congress. TO
repeal the Fifteenth Amendment
would require the vote Of two
thirds of the members Of each
house, and then it would have to
be ratified by three-fourths Of the
states. AS Mr.. Williams justly
says, no one but a man with his
head In the clouds or in a dark
closet has the slightest notion
that 8 resolution amending the
Constitution by striking out this
article could receive the necessa-
ry vote IN congress or ratification
by three-fourths of the states.
It may come 80 or 40 years from
now, but the present discussion
OF it is a waste OF time. 1t Mr..
YardamaQ should go into the
senate, be might celebrate his en-
trance by Introducing q joint
resolutlons III proper form, for
the repeal OF the Fifteenth
Amendment. It would be re-
fefred to a committee, and that
committee would throw it con
temptuously IN the wastebasket.
And so the state OF Mississippi
would be represented III the SEN
ate for SIX years by a man sent
thera on az issue Which would
be disposed OF in less than six
minutes. TIE south should be
represented in the senate BY
statesmen and not dy agitators
and tadists.

From all we can learn the at
fair at Meridian on the 18th inst
passed Oft very pleasantly though
the debate feature was, to many,
disappointing-the Hon. JAS. Is,
Vardaman failing to come UP to
expectations OF many OF his sup
porters.
AS a sample of the impression
created upon outsiders by the
speeches, the following express
sions OF Frederick Palmer, the
war correspondent, who was sent
to Meridian by Golfers Weekly
expressly Tor the purpose OF sx-
ing up the political situation IN
Mississippi, wiz prove interest
ing:
You could not bring together
q more thoroughly American au-
dienee anywhere. Anew York
er was impressed with the tact
that everyone present was q born
and not a naturaIized citizen; sill
came from the old pioneer stock,
The gond order, considering how
high the feeling on both sides
runs, was remarkable. ! saw no
one drunk except a few men with
Vardaman badges, who probably
had taken d few drinks too many
thinking their lung power might
give out.
I was disappointed in the Gov
ernor. The five hours speaking
was scarcely a debate. All the
debating was done by Mr.. Will
liams. The Governor is q won
derful actor, and a study III ges-
ticulatory emotion; but he seems
wholly unable to talk more than
d minute on any one line OF
thought. Against such q mas
ter Of parliamentary logic az MIR.
Williams he did not make d good
enough showing to give the de-
bate what you call the sporting
quality. It was all over in tbe
first round.
Anyone who proposes to edu
cate the North to the repeal Of
the 18TH amendment and starts
out by comparing the President
OF the United States to a skunk.
and says he is an unieconstructed
Confederate who wishes he was
living under the stars and bars
can scarcely get a sympathetic
audience. It anything woulc
prejudice a Northerner against
the repeal of the 18th amend
ment 1t would be such wild and
unnecessary appeal to passion
and ctudity OF manner as the
Governor exhibits. MIR. VII
liams' rejoinder was one of finest
examples OF parliamentary logic
| have ever heard. It is he with
his breadth otmlnd aud logic wht
makes the North see the sitoa
ton as the South does and helps
towards the solution OF the prob
lem.
