A Montana Poet

We received the following thru the mail
from Carlyle. The sender asked US to
publish it provided it merited publication:
as we are not critic on poetical produc-
tions we give it space and let our readers
Judge as to its merits.
THE GOLDEN VALLEY OF MONTANA
In Montana's Golden Valley
Where the Red-man once did roam,
And where the buffalo and antelope ran
wild,
Here the homesteaders do rally:
Here at last they own home
And live as happy as fat and saucy child.
Though I'm dwelling all alone
In my Golden Valley home,
Where each day sing a glad Hosana;
Here I'm happy as coon.
A great big raccoon
In the Golden Valley of Montana.
In Montanas Golden Valley,
With its prairie grand and broad
As it undulates toward the setting sun,
Are the farmers keeping tally
AS the steam plow turns the sod
For the harvest of grain that's sure to
come.
In Montana's Golden Valley
Where the soil is deep and black.
Where the harvest never goes by the board,
Lands still cheap, but do not daily
For the price will not go back:
Come out here and be your own land

A RECENT ruling Of the postofdce
department prohibits the mailing
Of newspapers at second class rates
TO subscribers who are more than
one year in arrears. OF course,
being in but our third year of ex-
istence, this ruling will not work
as great a hardship with us as with
older papers, but still there are
quite few in arrears. If such
is the case, see that your subscrip-
ton is paid before the expiration
of three months, the time allowed
publishers to bring their list up to
date, or of necessity your name will
be dropped from our list.

M1Nor is the place of meet
ing for the next Republican state
convention, and the date has been
set for May 18th. The duty of
this convention will be to select
eight delegates to represent North
Dakota at the national convention
where q candidate for president
will be chosen. Billings county
is allowed five delegates to the
state convention and it seems that
these delegates will have to be
chosen by the old caucus system,
rs the primary law does not cover
the election of delegates to the
state convention. Elsewhere will
be found an article from the Bis
marck Tribune in regard to the
choosing of delegates to this con-
vention.

ceased, and with the exception of being
somewhat inAamed, the eye is practically
as good as ever.

MEN PUT TO WORK.
Small Number Entered on City Pay
 rolls To-day.

A very large number of men called at the city yard and the water department on Benedict street this morning in search Of employment. The number put to work was small compared with those that could not be accommodated. Unfortunately this will be so while things continue dull in the factories, even though the city should not let a single ,On- tract to outside parties. It is thought, though, that the situation will be relieved somewhat afte' the fine weather sets in. The different contractors about town and others will want men and between the whole of them most men who are able to do work out of doors will find employment. It is far worse with the women folks, although you don't hear a word about them. How about girls who are out of work and behind with their boaro bills? They are great deal worse off than their brothers, who can step out and take turn out of the pick and shovel, while they have to stew and fret and wait around until the boss sends for them.

BLAKESLEE IN TOWN.
New Haven Contractor Looking Up
 That Filling in Job.

c. w. Blakeslee of New Haven, the lowest bidder for the grading of Waterville and Homer streets, was in town to-day looking after his in- terests. Nothing has been heard from anybody in authority since ,he meeting of the committee Thursday afternoon when it was decided to recommend that the contract he awarded to MT Blakeslee, and 1t is not likely that there will be until tomorrow night. It is being said now that after all the New Haven bid is not so low as one might sup pose. According to the terms of the advertisement the city is to furnish all the dirt needed for filling and of course much depends on whether it will be a long or short haul. Of course they could not be obliged to go beyond a certain distance, but 1t made quite a difference whether the bank was 300 feet distant or five times that. The local contractors tried hard to locate the bank, but they failed, and in order to be safe bid on. the long haul. Now it ap- pears that the bank is much nearsr than the Waterbury men supposed. and each one is asking the other how it was that he could not get a line on it. They also want to know whether the other contractors were in possession of this information.

San Francisco, March 23.-D. w.

Only the prompt arrival of guests and employees of the hotel in response to his loud cries for help saved his life, for the Koreans declared that they would have killed him. Stevens was severely bruised and scratched, but was not dangerously injured
 Stevens in an interview upon his arrival said the Korean people have been greatly benefited by Japanese protection and that they are begin- ming to look more favorably upon it. He also said that the Korean peas- ants have welcomed the Japanese and the official class is beginning to think well of them on the ground that the only hope for Korea is in a reorganization of the old institution on the lines proposed by Japan. Other statements all of which were favorable to Japan in relation to their native country made the ISor- cans angry. r..
 After the assault Stevens went into his room. The hotel lobby was thrown into a state of intense excite ment by the affray. Stevens had his injuries attended to and he refused to be seen as he was in no condition to discuss the attack which he be- lieved was murderous in its intenr.

 MT.

 Mir. Thomas P. Littlepage, clerk of Vice President Fairbanks campaign committee, said:
 'Conceding to Secretary Taft every delegate of which he has even the most remote prospect, it was emphatically maintained, there cannot be mustered for MT. Taft in excess of $50 of the 49l votes necessary to nomination.
 "Tbe figures of the opposition show that the largest number of votes 1t is possible to claim as certain for Secre- tary Taft at this time is 126, more than one-fourth of this number being from Ohio, Secretary Taft's own state.
