ALLEY COUNTY. MONTANA, DECEMBER 30, 1905
UP AND AT EN-.

The year that dies is past and gone,
The unborn years are rolling on,
The chance that came not yesterday
Is more than likely on the way.
Time brings to every man that
breathes
AT least one of Success wreaths.
But some are blind with their con-
ceit
And, cheating self, call Life cheat;
And some are careless, some are
small,
And some in overreaching fall;
Some fail to grasp their rightful share
And lose because they did not dare.
Whate'e 'er the failure or it's cause,
Adversely means but pause
To him whose courage has not died
Who, poor in goods, is rich in pride
And with his honor clean of stain
Takes issue with his Fate again.
The Lock of Fortune can not hold
Against the self-respecting bold
Come, rise and drop your moods and
fears,
Forget your griefs and dry your tears;
Another year has dawned for you-
Your blamedest best will pull you
through. Herbert Kaufman, in
Chicago Record-Herald.

THAT LABOR SENTENCE

The sentence of Gompers, Mitch
ell and Morrison to Jail will, of
course, be received by storm of
wrath ly the Federation of Labor,
but it reads like pretty good law.
The boycott is foreign invention
and never should receive countenance
in America, and every organization
in this country should understand
that whatever it may do, it must
keep within the laws. Further. that
until the laws are changed, the in
junction of court must be respected
and obeyed. Labor organizations
have perfect right to refuse to work
for any man or company, but their
right to combine and ruin the busi-
ness of men will never be accepted
in this country, and the country
would not be fit to live in were it
accepted.-Goodwin' Weekly.

profitable year, many new business
structures have been erected and a
number of spacious homes were built
for the reception of the wonderful
increase in population which the city
has witnessed. All in all, this has
been very prosperous year, both for
the people residing in the town and

IRRlCATIONISTS ARE HERE

Today, the incoming trains are
bringing in many visitors and dele
gates to attend the United Milk
River Irrigation meeting viii h is in
session this afternoon. At noon the,
delegates were serenaded at the
Great Northern Hotel by the Malta
Cornet Band, which was roundly APP
plauded at the conclusion of each Sc
lection. So far, while it is little
premature for the Enterprise e to
accurately state what the outcome of
the meeting will be, the concensus
of opinion of the gathering is that
another delegat on should be sent to
Washington at the earliest pO sible
moment, for the reason that as yet
the appropriation for the reclamation
service has not been made nor appor-
toned by the department heads at
Washington, and by the presence OF
an able and energetic representation
from the Milk River Valley great
good could no DOUBT be accomplished
toward getting an appropriation for
the entire Milk River-St. Mary's,
Project. Several prominent speak
ers will address the assembly this af
ternoon. The full proceedings of the
meeting will be given in next weeks

ATTORNEY GENERAL CALEN
WANTS A STATE SHERIFF

The creation of the Office of state
sheriff, to have control over all
county sheritfs is recommended in
the biennial report of Atty. General
Galen, who gives it as his his judg-
ment that certain duties of the coun-
ty sheriffs should be performed by a
state officer. Ininstances,' he says,
"where this department is called up
on to act locally in matters present.
ed, in which the state is concerned,
either in civil or criminal matters,
the local officers are likely to be
more or less personally concerned,
and the best results are not obtaina-
ble." Without specifying what Off
ces. the suggestion is made that some
of the state offices could be abolished
and the work performed by the state
sheriff.
"Better salaries for the attorney

nenses incurred when away from the
