to His Own Opinion.
While everyone has right to his
own opinion, yet it is wise to always
consider what others think and profit
by 1t.
Nothing makes life so miserable, or
interferes SO widely with the usefulness
Of the average person, as indigestion.
and it is well for us to give fair con-
sideration to what others think about
this remarkable affliction.
Mcbride & Will are positive that In
Mi-o-na stomach tablets they have an
absolute cure for indigestion and the
many disagreeable symptoms that fol-
low this disease, such as distress after
eating, coated tongue, bad taste in the
mouth, dizziness, aatulence, and mere
yousnesS.
They sell Mi-o-na with satisfaction
guaranteed or money back. They be.
lieve in 1t and SO may you.

Electric Power For Railroads.

Eventually the Chicago, Milwaukee
a. St. Paul Railway company will OPP
crate it's trains through the Rocky
mountains by electricity, says the
Anaconda Standard. That has been
decided on and the power will be
furnished by the Great Falls Water
power and townsite company. As the
latter contemplates building two large
dams on the river near Great Falls it
NAV be some time before the St. Paul
electrities its road. 1t will also have
power plants of its own in the western
part of the state to operate its trains
through the big tunnel near Taft.
The Great Northern is also building
an electric power plant two miles west
of Leavenworth, Wash, to supply
power for operating its trains by
electricity through the tunnel OF the
Cascade mountains near Stevens
Peak.
The Great Northern has ordered
eight electric locomotives, which will
be delivered withia a few days, and i,
is announcnd that the electrical opera
ton of trains through the three.milt
tunnel will be begun by January l.
1909.

Govern ment WELL Sell Town Lots.

L. is announced in a bulletin issued
by the interior department at Wash.
ington that a public sale of lots in
W. townships on the Fort Shaw unit
of the Sun river irrigation project
will be held Thursday, October ID.
The bulletin says in part:
This unit of the Sun river project is
situated a little west of the center Of
the state, about 25 miles from Great
Falls. The system when completed
will provide for the reclamation of
about 216, 200 acres OF fine farming
land. Throughout the whole project
the farm village idea will be carried
out, towns being established at inter-
walls of about six miles. Water is
nov available for about 5000 acres
on the Fort Shaw unit and the land is
being taken up rapidly.
On this tract the Fort Shaw and
Simms townsites have been laid out,
with wide streets, boulevards and
parks and extensive areas Tor public
buildings. The lots will be SOLD at
auction for cash, ARD there are lots
enough so hat each farmer, if he de-
>ires, may purchase a lot 10 town.and
after having secured title to his farm
can live there where he can enjoy the
social and commercial advantages in
cident to town life. If he cares to live
on the farm he will still be within
three miles from the graded school,
store, churches. creameries, etc.
Many of the lots contain several acres
and are suitable for dairying. poultry
raising or truck farming.
AS the agricultural lands have been
cut in farms of 10 and 80 acres this
project will become a densely popu
lated agricultural community. Its
prosperity is assured by the uufailing
water supply which will be furnished
by the government canals aud bitches,
and this prosperity will be reflected in
the substantial growth and success ot
,he towns which are being esta blished
! there.

Stockmen Fear Anthrax.

MILES CITY, Oct. l2.-About twenty
five stockmen, bankers and railroad
men met in the Miles City club rooms
1T the call of Deputy State Vetcrin-
what steps might be taken to an
tagonize the introduction of anthrax
from the infected districts in South
Dakota into Montana. 1t was re.
cognized that the Custer county line
is the gateway through which the con-
tagion must be prevented and while 1t
was generally though, that the state
should provide the funds for employ
ing line riders there was no fund for
that purpose.
1t was decided tina. in addition to
the railroads being prohibited bring
ing any livestock into this state from
South Dakota, which is o the
status, one hundred miles Of the North
Dakota line, the South Dakota boun-
Diary and at least fifty miles of the Wy,
oming line, in all about two hundred
and fifty miles, must be guarded by
line riders. How to raise the money
for this was left with committee, and
the following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that the proximity of
anthrax to our borders is a matter for
grave apprehension and this meeting
feels that immediate action should be
taken to protect ourselves against the
disease as it exists in South Dakota
and that we call upon the state board
of stock commissioners, the state
board of sheep commissioners, the
president and executive committee
OF the Montana Stockgrowers' as
ISOLATION. the governor and the state
veterinarian to give all the assistance
possible
DR.. Knowles, who is in Iowa, will
send data showing the extent OF the
disease and infected districts in South
Dakota to the deputy veterinarian
here.
