A LOCAL PROTEST ON LAND GRABBING

Havre, Mont, February "a, 1908
Senator Dixon has veered little
in his course to dispose OF the public
lands in Montana. His previous bill
provided that every man should fhave
the right to take up $40 acres. He has
now cut this down to 4S0 acres. but
the whyfor of this no explanation is
offered. At any rate the new bill
is just as certain to accomplish the
results as the old one was.
All of us will agree that there is a
temporary benefit to present settlers
in that provision of the bill which al
lows them to slap on to another half
section of land, regardless of where
situated only SO that it is within five
miles of their original entry. This is
little sop in hand to blind US and at
the same time aid In the quick trans
ferring Of large blocks of public land
into private hands.
Surrounding Havre there are MANY
settlers and all myself included) will
avail themselvs Of this opportunity.
We know how valuless an isolated sec
ton Is to US, but along with this
knowledge we also know that numb
er of them punched together SO as to
reach water course and in proportion
as the punching is generous then it,
tbut let the big stock man tell how
nice that would be.)
We who are on the ground would pack
out and solidify to ourselves the best
half sections within reach. then
where ~ould the new conner find his
$50 acres? OF necessity his allotment
could only be in solid body and no
such an amount OF land worth having
would be found in between us.
Now. IL We turn the pages over and
1ook ahead ten ysars After we heIzs-

The dancing commenced at 8 q.

Viewing many of the leading dea-o-

strong feeling favoring harmony AMI

a strong feeling that city politics be
conducted in the future along surety
party lines. Nearly all other cities IN
the state the size of Havre are con
Quoting their city politics along party

AS conditions have existed here for

the ascendency has arrogated to it's
self, perhaps justly so. the assumption

on all the honor and decency aud pat

Any man not aligning himself with
this faction in coming before the pub

ma attached to him of being opposed
to law and order and progress. No
matter how pure or clean or public
spirited man might be, unless he
was in the band wagon, his name was

AS result, many good men have
refrained from entering local politics
on account of the mire singing.

by conducting the city election this

n The Herald has no hidden alimus
in making these suggestions, Tut is
prompted solely with a desire to build
up strong local machine and gat er
the scattered legions Of denoc acy
into one fold.
The very fact that the democs attic
party has heretofore been the under

Tba Belfry News wants the next
legislature to offer handsome bounty
for the wildcats in the mining districts
Of the state. Not bad idea.
The average yield of Wheat per acre
in Montana last year, according to sta
tistics gathered by the commissioner
of agriculture, was 40 bushels. Th s
is the yield on both irrigated and dry
land farms. The average yield Of
oats per acre Is given at 60 bushels.
The senate has passed Mr.. Carter's
amendment relative to changing the
penalty for illegal fencing Of public
lands. The amendment makes the
punishment fine or Imprisonment in
stead of fine and Imprisonment.
Governor Toole has departed for
Southern California for his health.
The Boulder Age-Sentinel intimates
that with the resignation Of John D.
Ryan as managing director Of the Am
algamated, there Is an era Of labor
troubles coming, possibly necessitat-

Governor Toole got out of the harness
in time to avoid being the governor

No one can blame him even IL he
did resign under these conditions.
The county attorney of Cascade
