THE TIME TO BOOST.

Although an exceptionally back
ward spring is holding back business
in Lewistown as it is everywhere, the
outlook for fine year in Lewistown
and Fergus county is good. The
magic touch Of spring, which we sim
cerely hope will not be much longer
delayed, will quicken trade and pro-
duce more hopeful and cheerful
feling throughout the business section
of the city and among the ranchers
and stockmen of the entire county.
This should be Lewistown's best
year up to date and the people of the
city should not overlook an oppor-
tunity to boost the good old town
along.
A knock was never known to do
any good, either to the knocker or to
that which was intended to be knock
ed. The world does not take kindly
to knocker which is but another
name for the pessimist, the man who
looks downward instead of upward.
There is really no excuse for the
knocker in Lewistown. We have here
as fine little city as can be found
west OF the Mississippi Morally, it
is just as clean, its municipal affairs
are administered in as efficient a
manner, the tone OF its business is
as strong and the spirit of co-opera-
ton is rapidly broadening.
If, perchance, on some gloomy day
you feel inclined to bring forth your
little hammer, before doing SO just
stop and consider a few things.
Consider where you can find bet
ter town. Consider where you car
find better schools, better churches
better opportunities for receiving
tairer returns for your work Blu,
really, a city is just what its com.
ponent parts, that is, its citizens
make it.
One kind word, one boost, ever,
day for the town from every citizer
would do a lot toward making Lew
istown even a better place in which
to live.
Just remember that, one little boos
every day, and see how quickly yo,
get the habit. And see how quickl,
everyone around you gets the habit.
And what power that would be-
three thousand FIVE hundred people al
working and talking for the same
thing-a bigger and better Lewis
town.

Our esteemed contemporary, the

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Kendall Miner, takes a back handed
slap at Lewistown in a front page
article in which it is stated that the
Burlington Great Northern railroad
people are going to pass up the coun-
ty seat and go straight through to
Kendall. The effort of the Miner to
boost their home town is commend
able but we hardly believe that the
editor was possessed of the highest
of information when he wrote his
railroad article AS matter of fact
Jim Hill does not make confident OF
every surveyor he has working for
him and their assertions as to what
Jim is going to do must be taken
with several barrels Of salt We sin
cerely trust that Kendall gets rail

that Lcwistown will get another one

The chief engineer recited the ar
duous duties of the head man on the
canal job and stated that these dut-
les were sufficient without having to
play jumping jack to the capricous
whims of headless executive. In
stead Of accepting this criticism in
the spirit in Which it was given, Pres
ident Roosevelt Immediately flew off
the handle and tclegraphed the chief
engineer that his resignation was ac~

ROOSEVELT BLUNDER.

The associated press has recently
succeeded in getting hold of draf,
of the correspondence which caused
the sudden resignation of chief en-
gineer John Stevens from the 18th
mian Canal Commission few
months ago.
1t appears that Mr.. Stevens was
doing splendid work on the canal but
was so constantly hampered by gov
ernmental red tape and executive in
tereference that he finally wrote let
ter to the president in which he told
him few things as "man to man."

New York, April 16.-Before the
National Arbitration and peace con
gress yesterday Oscar S. Straus, secre-
tary of commerce, declared that I'M
rest and dissatisfaction at home breed
antagonisms abroad. The nation
happy and contented within it's Dor
ders is never a menace to neighbor-
ing nations Its chief danger lies
in not being able to protect itself
against the discontentment of other
to peace abroad than peace at home.
Often in the past has nation gone
to war or been driven into war by
reason of internal discomfort, COMPEL
ing it. as it were, to choose war
without as the lesser evil in order to
avert revolution within it's borders.
The speaker expressed the thought
that fully as important as peace among
nations is peace within nations PeO-
pie who are subjected to unreasonable
restrictions upon life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness" and who are
tions that they can not earn their
daily bread become revolutionary. He

of industrial peace was made per
petual with the purpose of aiding the
: industrial forces to arrive at a peace
full adjustment OF their reciprocal
rights on a basis of humanity and
Justice. In Theodore Roosevelt are
united the historical foresight of a
jefferson with the humane considera
ton of a Lincoln for the welfare of
the masses.
The speaker urged the limitation
of ornaments and deplored interna-
tional pettifogism and in conclusion
declares: THE true end of every
great and free people should be self.
respecting peace. Probably no other
great nation of the world is so anx,
ious for peace as we are" These are
the sentiments of President Roose-
welt in his message to the fiftysev-
enth congress. The argument that

ease. The best guarantee for peace is
peace, and the very fact that behind

Secret of Good Fish-Lines.

In the proper care of lines one is
apt to balk. 1t is too much trouble
to unwind and dry every time one re
turns from hard days fishing, and
the most We do is to rewind parts to
test if any kinks are there A silk
unvarnished line is the worst to kink
so that it is always advisable after
the season is over to take the lines
from the reels and wind them on d
large wheel. A careful and prudent
brother angler has devised a unique
plan of winding his lines around a
bicycle Wheel after the tire has been
removed. Placing the bicycle upside
down he works the pedals and winds
it through an oiled rag. This softens
the lines and keeps them moist and
.pliabIe, as well as prevents cracking

NEBRASKA'S SKULLS.

Which They Belong.

Scientists Debate on the Period to
Which They Belong.
New York Times.-Since the &C
count given of the bones of primitive
men in Nebraska last September, q
number of articles have appeared i'll
various newspapers and magazines
giving evidence of widespread intel
est in the subject, and indicating the
commencement OF an important con
trOversy among the scientists as TO
the age of the human race on the
American continent. All the special
lists who have examined the Nebraska
skulls thus far agree that they be
long to a race anJedating by many
centuries the race that was found
here by the cary discoveries. From
ten TO twenty thousand years is the
age claimed for these skulls, which
places the latter at a period thirty
or forty years after the Neanderthal
man of Europe. This estimate es
tabIishes the fact that America was
peopled by an extremely primitive
race, although the origin of the lat
ter. and the interesting problem as to
where human life first made its ap~
pearance, still awaits further data for
anything like satisfactory solution.
On this subject it is interesting to
recall a statement made some months
ago made by Professor Frank Boas of
Columbia University and the Mu
scum of Natural History Professor
Boas is at the head of the Jesup
North Pacific expedition, which was
organized Tor the purpose of conduct
ing Investigations whoch woul settle
the conflicting theories regarding
primative man in America. The re-
su-~s of the field work of this expe
dition are still in course of publica
ton, and it was in connection with
this work that Professor Boas advanc-
ed an opinion, which certainly gathers
weight from discoveries just made II
Nebraska, as well as new interest
from the efforts now on foot TO re-
discover the Pithecanthropos erectus
in Java.
1T seems not improbable" said
Professor Boas, that there are two
great divisions of the human race.
equivalent to each other in age and Of
a common origin from which the rest
of the earth has been populated. One
of these divisions | would place in
the continents continuous to the
North acific ocean from which have
arisen the various tribes on the Am
erican continent and North Asia. The
other division | would place on the
sores of tie Indian ocean, whence it

Through the range and the quality

But LongfelIow was far more than a
melodious voice of that New England

consciousness of his countrymen.
While Irving and Bryant were the
