To Relieve Famine.

WASHINGTON, J IAN. 1.-The offer of
E. H. Hartman to President Roose.
welt, to transport on his steamship
lines all supplies delivered at San
Francisco and intended to relieve
famine sufferers in China, has opened
the way for the American Red Cross
to make an appeal direct to the farm
ers OF the country to provide corn and
wheat.
The appeal for money contributions
has been effective, but it is believed
greater good will come from gifts Of
grain, now that the transportation has
been met. Already the Red Cross Of
this city have suggested to Governor
Cummins, of Iowa, that he ask the
farmers of that state to make grair
contributions.
The call upon the governors had
not been general, for the reason tina
the Red Cross officers were waiting tt
| see whether it would be decided to use
the army transport service to convey
grain to the Orient.

Is James J. Hill a Tax Dodger?

Minnesota is being greatly en-
riched by the essential optimism of
J ames j. Hill, though the enrichment
was not an overt act. When the great
railroad builder convinced the United
States Steel corporation that the ore

owned by Hill and Longyear, instead
of being worth some $50, 600 900, as
assessed. had an intrinsic value am

ter of values. But at the same time
as he convinced the steel trust, Hill
convinced the state assessing board
of Minnesota as to the real value of
the unimproved ore lands. So strong
was the conviction that Hill was
called upon to testify before the state
railroad commission, and his valua.
ton was accepted. In consequence,
the state of Minnesota has commenced

FOR \ CIR EATER MONTANA.

In every section Of the state the
sentiment for concerted, united and
enthusiastic effort for the upbuilding
of the commonwealth is strong, says
the Helena Record. For years the
people have seen capital and home
seekers pass by and through Mon
tana. Montana has not been neglected
because it has nothing to offer, but
because the world did not know of the
opportunities offered within her
borders.
This sentiment in favor of ''doing'
something has o crystalized in the
form of a convention to be held in this
city this month. Representative men
will discuss how to accomplish the re-
suits desired and out of the discussion
will come a plan that will have back
of it to push any enterprise Of all the
people of the state.
What this united effort means to
the state is forcibly put by Charles
II. Leonard, of Butte, when he says;
"Montana's sparse popul alton will
be the wonder OF the world when pub
lie attention is called to her splendid
resources and the great opportunities
which await the coming thousands.
An old prominent resident Of Mon
tana told me a short time ago that hi
would like to live Il hundred years te
see the marvellous future which he was
sure awaited this state. In my judg
ment he would not have to live one
fourth of that time to witness u won

MUST REMOVE FENCES.
wyoming Ranchers Appeal To Authorities
For Extension Of Time.

CHEYENNE, Jan. IA large num-
Der OF Laramie county ranchmen,
who in November were served by the
federal authorities with warnings to
tear down their fences enclosing pub.
lie lands within sixty days time, have
been IN conference with w. B. Pugh,
special agent of the land Office here,
seeking a modification of the order as
we'll as extension of time.
Sixty of the notices we're sent out
and all will expire between the middle
of January and February l. As a re-
suit the ranchmen are becoming ner-
vous and several have already taken
down the fences and complied with the
official notice of the government.
Others, and these include a majority
OF the %ranchmen, are taking the mat.
ter up with the officials here with a
view OF saving the hundreds of thou.
sands of fence posts which will have
to be destroyed if the order is com.
piled with.
The ranchmen assert that it is i'm
possible to dig up the posts at this
time of the year on account of the
frozen condition of the ground and
that to comply with the notices they
have received they will have to cut
down the posts, which means their
destruction, and this will involve ar
enormous loss, as it is estimated the
land illegally fenced by the sixty
ranchmen to whom notices have beer
sent will aggregate 300, 900 acres.
The ranchmen have asked for an in
crease of time in which to comply with
the order, desiring to wait until the
frost is out Of the ground, and failing
in this asked permission to remove the
wire and leave the posts standing I'm
til spring. So far Special Agent Pugl
has positively insisted on the tearing
down of the entire fence, which con
forms to his instructions, and it i:
doubtful If any modification of thu
order can be secured.

WHEN WAGES WERE LOW.

"Columbus,'' said an antiquary Of
