The Greedy Paper Trust.
Anaconda Standard.

No other American industry is suf.
fering so severely from trust rapacity
today as the printing industry. 1t
consumes annually about SOC, 600 IONS
of paper. Since last March the paper
trust has increased the price of this
amount of paper about ten million
dollars, and has announced another
increase for the coming year. In other
words the cost of white paper, which
is the chief raw material in the manu-.
facture Of newspapers, has been in.
creased nearly fifty per cent. lnves-
TIC alton by the American Newspaper
Publishers' association proved that
the paper makers make large profits
at the old price of forty dollars a ton
or less. The accounts of the paper
makers, so far as investigation has
disclosed, show no increase in cost of
production that approaches this fifty
per cent. increase in the price of pa.
per.
Investigation proves that artificial
scarcity has been created by limiting
production and by exporting paper
far below the American rate in order
to prepare the newspaper interests for
this increase. The increased profit
will go to pay dividends on watered
securities that could not be earned in
a legitimate competitive business. The
print paper trust has been able to grab
the newspapers and magazines of the
country by the throat and go through
their pockets for nearly thirty million
dollars in two years because the Unit.
ed States government protects them
with a duty on pulp and print paper,
and because the courts have been pow
%erless SO far to break up their combi-
nation in restraint of trade. Congress
has it in its power to right the wrong
to a very great extent, if not complete.
", by removing "a duty so detrimental
to newspaper interests the country
over-a duty so illegitimate and mex
cusable from any sane point of view.

THE MILK RIVER CASE.

The decision of the United States
supreme court, by which the Fort
Belknap Indians are awarded a prior
right to the waters of the Milk river,
does not change the conditions that
have existed since a similar decision
was rendered by the lower court about
three years ago. Its effect, however,
is to remove the hope hat the lower
ad Indication Of the matters presented.
While the decision of the court is
undoubtedly q proper Interpretation
Of the law and the terms of the treaty
with the Indians, it leaves many of
the settlers in the Milk river valley in
. most embarrassment predicament.
1t appears from newspaper reports of
court decisions that, in addition to
owning q prior right to 5000 inches
Of the flow OF Milk river, the Indians
are entitled to the use OF any addi.
tional amount of water they may need
from time to time. II this view of the
decision is correct, the use of the
waters of Milk river by white settlers
is subject to the needs of the wards Of
the government at all times.
The unfortunate stu alton developed
by these court proceedings should i'm.
press upon the authorities the neces.
sity for prompt and energetic work in
connection with the Milk river irriga-
ton project. The natural flow of Milk
river being at the disposal of the In

in the valley in good faith requires
that an increased water supply be
provided at as early a date Us possi-
BILE. 1t is a situation that calls for
immediate attention and action, and
it is hoped its urgent nature will be
recognized by the federal authorities
who can provide the desired relief.
The decision Of the supreme cour,
discusses at length the matters pre-.
sented, concluding as follows:
The case turns on the agreement OF
May, 1883, resulting in the creation
of Fort Belknap reservation. The
reservation was part of a very much
larger tract which the Indians had
the right to occupy and use and i,
was adequate for the habits and wants
of nomadic and uncivilized people.
1t was the policy of the government,
it was the desire of the Indians, to
change those habits and to become a
pastoral and civilized people. II
they should become such, the original
tract was too extensive, but q similar
tract would be inadequate without

CHOUTEAU COUNTY FINANCES

The annual financial statement OF
Chouteau county, which has been COM
pleted by the county clerk, contains
an exhibit of the various funds in
which is shown the receipts and ex.
penditures for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 1907. The statement
shows that at the end of the year there
was a total cash balance of 1856, 1926
in the various county funds, compared
with a cash balance of Sl45, 636 at the
end of the preceding year: and that
the deduction of this cash balance
from the gross Indebtedness of the
county gives a decrease of some $7,143
in the net Indebtedness Of the county.
The liabilities of Chouteau county at
the end of the year consisted of out
etanding bonds to the amount of $780,
600, against which there is an ccum
lation of about $50, 600 in the sinking
fund.
The wen of the county funds
during the past year, derived mainly
from taxes, amounted in round num-
bers to about $l39 $50. The expendi-
lures, according to the statement of
warrants drawn during the year, were

that it he has reason to suspect that
an early marriage is contemplated, he
will deny the divorce altogether. The

For the fiscal year of 1906, the total
county expenditures were 1925, 1873, and
for the fiscal year 1905, the total was

twelve months, therefore, we're about
the average amount of the two preced-
