Timely.

Miles City Journal: When it
comes to doing the right thing at
the right time Montana weather
may generally be found to furn-
ish supply of moisture, which
while most frequently of not great
extent, and sometimes in periods
as far apart as the governor of
North Carolina found them, still
usually shows up before livestock
or crops reach the absolute suf-
fermg point.
So it is at this time. While
stock had reached the verge, and
even had their heads over the
brink of calamity through long
continued drouth, the warm
weather permitted such springs
as exist to flow and water holes
to remain open.
The drouth which has existed
since the fore part of December
was broken Saturday by a sub
stantian fall Of about two inches
of snow. The snow in December
relieved the situation then as the
present fall has on this occasion,
SO that at this time Everything
is lovely"
The precipitation during 1907
was 2.54 inches above the normal
or a total of 14.75 inches. distrib-
uted as follows: Jan. 1.28 inches;
Feb, "a inches; March, .48 in
ches; April, 81 inches; May, 4.39
inches; June, 1893 inches; July,
1.55 inches; Aug, 1.02 inches;
Oct., .22 inches; Nov, .04 inches;
Dec, .32 inches. So far this
month there had bee.l no meas
urable precipitation.

His First Ride in Montana.

Doctor Gaines, in company with
liveryman S. M. Bnnnell, made
a drive twelve miles south,
to the old Chappell ranch, in re-
sponse to a sick call last Saturday
afternoon, and, the outcome of
which NEITHER (the doctor espec-
ially) will soon forget. When
they started for home, about $50
p. M, it was dark and a light
snow was falling, but there was
no wind, and, as they had a good
light, neither had any hesitancy
about starting, as Sam knew the
road? However, they had not
proceeded far before they wished
they had not started, as the wind
commenced blowing and started
the snow flakes chasing each 9TH
or across the PLANES of Montana.
Anyone who has ever been out or
the road, on such a night as Sat.
urday night was, can realize the
difficulty one has in finding, OF
seeing a trail. The wind being

Action Of r. n. Commission.

Helena, Mont. Jan. 25, 1908.
In an order issued by this de-
partment under date Of the 10Th.
inst. we promulgated a set Of de-
murrage rules applicable to all
railroads operating within the
state Of Montana, such rules to
become effective Feb. 8, 1908.
1t may be Of interest to your
readers to learn of the new de-
murrage rules, and to know that
the same will be published by
each railroad doing business in
the state. Copies of the rules
can be inspected at the Offices of
the railroad companies on and af-
ter February 9th, next.
The demurrage rules referred
to are more liberal to the ship
pers than any rules heretofore in
effect in Montana. One feature
is the allowing Of three days free
time for the unloading Of lumber,
stulls, tagging, coal, coke, lime,
lime rock and bulk precipitates.
Additional free time is extend,
ed in case Of bad weather condi-
tions where the contents of car
would be injured by exposure,
also where cars are punched in
delivery, etc.
Yours very truly,
R. R. Commission of Montana.

AUTUMN IN BINGvILLE.

From the Bingville Bugle.
We take our editorial pen in hand
at this sitting to write a beautiful
rhapsody on the subjekt of Ottum.
Ottum is something which happens
oncet every year about this time, and
its arrival and departure is some
thing which we, as editor of the
Bugle, nor anyone else, has no con-
troll over
1t is at this season of the year
that the foliage around Bingville
and vicinity presents a most excru-
shiating appearance, being decked
out, as we might say, in all the COL
ors of the rainbow and then some
Some of the leaves is yaller and
some is brown, while others is of
different hues, altogether making a
galaxy which beggars descripshion.
and which even our editorial pen
cannot do Justice to at this time.
1t is said that poet cannot portray
nor painter write in rhyme on can
vas the many beauties of the leaves
which Ottum causes. Be that as it
may, Ottum always brings to all of
US melancholy feeling, espeshlaliy
when the leaves lose their holt on
the trees and fall to the ground
wlthered and dead to such a extent
that they become nuisance and
haft to be raked up and burnt. At
ter that the trees present a naked
and nude appearance and will look
redikulus to the observer until next
spring, when they begin to leaf forth
again.
Ottum always makes us melan-
choly personally but we calkilate
this Ottum makes us more melan-
cholier than ushual, being as we
are much depressed because we
have just went over our books and
find that about three-fourths of our
total number of subscribers owes us
anywhere from IS to $40 each, dog
gone EN- anyhow! If they would
pay their debts like men and women
ort to we would feel a good deal
more happier than we be at present.

The Ed1t0r. An Essay

| A little boy in town was given the
stunt by his father to write an essay
on Editors" and here is the result:
Il don't know how newspapers come
| to be in the world. | don't think
| God does, for He hain't got nothing
to say about them and editors in the
| Bible. l think the editor is one of
the missing links you read of, and
stayed in the bushes until after the
flood; and then came out and wrote
the thing up, and has been here ever
since. | don't think he ever dies.
l never saw a dead one, and never
heard of one getting licked. Our
paper is mighty good one; but the
editor goes without underclOthes all
winter and don't wear any socks,
and paw amt paid his subscription
since the paper started. | asst paw
if that was why the editor had to
suck the juice out of snowballs in
winter and go to bed when he had
a shirt wasn't in the summer. And
then paw took me out into the wood
shed and he lickt me awful hard. If
the editor makes a mistake folks
say he ought to be hung, but if
doctor makes any mistakes he buries
them, and people dassent say moth
ing, because doctors can read and
write Latin. When the editor makes
a mistake there is lawsuits, and they
say he ought to be hung, but if
doctor makes one there is a fun
eral, cut flowers and perfek silence.
A doctor can use word a yard long
without him or anybody knowing
what it means; but if the editor uses
one he has to spell it, If the doctor
goes to see another mans wife he
charges for the visit; but if the edi-
tor goes he gets a charge of buck
shot When the doctor gets drunk
it's a case of being overcome by the
heat, and if he dies its from heart
trouble; when editor gets drunk
it's a case of too much booze; and
If he dies it's the jim-jams. Any old
college can make a doctor; a editor
has to be born.-Exchange

THE DISFRANCHISENTENT
AMENDMENT.
From the Albany Herald.

From the Albany Herald.
The time may cOme-and before a.
great while-when the people of
Georgia will rue the day they ratified
the amendment to the constitution
which is now popularity supposed to
be aimed directly at the negro and
the ignorant and irresponsible negro
voter only. Everything depends up-
on the registrars, and if at any time
in the future they should become par
tisan and their selection should be
made upon partisan lines wholesale
Acknowledgement of such voters as
may not come up to an arbitrarily
imposed standard will inevitably fol-
low. Under the administration Of
partisan and INSCRIPTIONS registrars
this constitutional amendment could
under such political conditions as are
likely to arise in the not distant flu
ture, be made an instrument of great
injustice and oppression. Great care
should be eXerted in the selection of
the registrars.

MAIL ORDER HOUSES AND
HOME PEOPLE.

A friend remarked to The News
editor recently: 81 never see adj
vertisements Of the mail order houses
in the big cities in your paper. How
is that?"
The News has never solicited,
never carried. those advertisements.
1t might print them if they paid the
current price, but they have never
offered our current rate, and, as said,
we have never carried them.
What is more, The News has never
failed to urge upon it's readers the
Importance of trading with home
merchants. For years it's slogan has
been: Stand by home industries, by
home folks
So it is not a new thing or a new
departure for The Dawson News to
fight the battle of the home merchant
and home industries. 1t is what we
have been doing all the time, and
explains why it is that the adver-
tisements of the mail order houses
are not seen in this paper, for even
if they did appear the steady policy
of the paper in urging loyal support
of home houses, home people, would
undergo no change whatever

THE MAN ON THE FENCE.

The News would raise it's voice in
behalf of long suffering individual
one whom every tin hero worshiper
and wild-eyed partisan feels it his
bounded duty to biff.
Between the strenuous politics and
the agitation of prohibition and anti
prohibition the past three or four
years the fence rider has had a very
interesting time of it. The Hoke
Smith men have denounced him, and
the Joe Brown men have denounced
him; the anti-prohibitionists have
denounced him, and the prohibition
lists have denounced him.
AS he seems to be friendly prop
osition perhaps it is permissible to
see if some good cannot be found in
him. AS a rule he appears to be a
man who attends to his own business.
He does not get hysterical over every
breeze that blows. Andrew Jackson
once said he had heard of a man
who he greatly admired, who had
greatly prOspered by attending to his
own business" 1t will be noticed
that the partisan who today de-
nounces the fence rider will tomor-
row climb up beside him on some
other question at issue. To many
people some particular issue seems
vital; to others as immateriaI. The
latter, lacking interest, stay on the
fence. For instance, it is difficult to
convince an anti-prohibitionist that
human liberty will not be abolished
if prohibition prevails. The prohi-
bitionist is sure that the temporal
and future state of the citizen will
be sacrificed if prohibition does not
prevail. Neither has any sympathy
for that vast army who think it
good world with prohibition and a
good world without prohibition, and
are unwilling to make enemies of
Lrlends, or, for that matter, attempt
to thwart the cherished wishes of
friends on either side.
The fence rider is not necessarily
mollycoddle, but is often a useful
citizen as dividing wall between
opinions, and gives pause to
Incorporate speech. Taken all in all
ne is a good citizen and generally a
very numerous one, for if he doesn't
get on the fence on one issue the
next one is almost sure to see him
climb up. While We all like the man
N the ranks, who does the actual
lghtlng, the man on the fence is
he recruiting line, and also has his
use and gets all that is coming to
aim of abuse.

list ONE MORE CARD.

1t is said that Mr. Joseph M
Brown is now preparing what will be
ais last card to the public dealing
with the recent campaign. 1t will
contain expressions of gratitude tc
ais friends. and plea for party har-
mony in the future. He will also an
nounce his plans for the interim be-
tween now and his Inauguration next
June. He will spend the time pre-
caring himself for the Office he is
10 hold, his intention being to visit
every county of the state and to con-
fer with all classes of its citizens. In
this way, which is in accord with
the purpose set forth in his original
announcement. he hopes to acquaint
himself fully as to the needs and de-
sires of his fellow-citizens,
Mr.. Brown has twice surprised his
opponents. The first time was in
June, when he received the largest
number of votes ever given any can
didate in a primary election, and the
second time was last Wednesday,
when his majority in the regular
election was the largest ever given
in the history of the state. IT there
are any who really believe the things
that were said OF him during the
campaign The News predicts that
they have still another surprise com
ing to them The new governor will
be one of the best and most popular
executives Georgia has even had. He
will give the state a plain. practical
and business-Iike administration free
from friiis and grandstand plays,
with an eye single to the best in
terests of the whole people, and not
to some future political advancement
of himself
When Mc Brown comes to Daw-
son he will be given a cordial recep-
tion by our people regardless of their
preference in the campaign. Every
body will be glad to see him.

Now for Bryan and Victory
N the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
The decks are now cleared, and we
can concentrate our attention upon
the work of electing William Jen-
nings Bryan president of the United
States
The state election, while the re-
suit of it was foregone conclusion,
has nevertheless divided public at
tention to a certain extent, but now
that it is over there is nothing to
prevent us from taking a broader
view of the situation and uniting
with all the energy and strength of
our nature for the democratic nomf-
nee for the presidency.
1t is in the very air that Mr.. Bry-
an has better chance than he has
ever had before. The consensus of
opinion is that the democratic party
has certainly shown up to the best
advantage, and has been the winner
in the net result of the exposures
and debates which have been going
on in the public prints for some time.
Some OF the most prominent re-
publlcans have been given their final
quietus, and the whole republican
party has felt the effect.
And yet this is not a negative
campaign. The democrats have pos
tive advantages which are not to
be overlooked or discounted. There
is greater harmony within the ranks
than ever before, and there is a grow
ing confidence in the wisdom and
strength of Mr.. Bryan as the best
representative of all the people. as
distinguished from the interests OF
the classes.
There, of course, is not a moments
doubt but that Georgia will go dem.
ocratic by handsome majority. but
for the sake of the moral effect We
want to make it as overwhelming as
possible.

mHY HIT THE CIRCUS so HARD?


Why the state of Georgia and the
cities and towns should tax circuses
$40 high is past understanding. The
modern circus and menagerie are the
great popular amusement and de-
light OF the masses. Not only are
they harmless in effect or influence,
out the menagerie is full of interest
and instruction. 1t is the ZOO" of
the common people. of the children
Vt the land, and no other 200"
equals or surpasses the display of
animal life made by the great mod
prn shows like those of Barnum and
Bailey, Ringing and others. Fur
Shermore, the circus leaves nearly as
much money as it takes away, for
It's expenses are enormous. Georgia
hits the circus-menagerie shows
heavier, perhaps. than any other
state. and gust a few more turns of
She taxing thumbscrew and such
shows will cease to come to Georgia.
We suppose there are some people
who say that it is to be desired, but
shank the Lord they are few in num-
her Popular and clean amusements,
like helpful industries, ought to be
encouraged and not burdened with
taxes, for the masses need helpful
amusement as much as they do in
auctrv
