GUARDING THE
BOUNDARY Line.
Prompt Action Of United States
Marshal Startles Can.
adams.

The international boundary line in
the vicinity of Noyes continues to
furnish excitement and material for
news Only last week. Emma Gold
man. the high priestess of anarchy,
was held up for day by. immigra-
tion inspector at the boundry line
until she could show that she was a
citizen of the United States and was
then allowed to pass.
More startinlg news than this
reached US later in the week when it
was learned that Herbert Wright
was taken into custody by II. A.
Rider, deputy U. S. marshal, and
that at the point of revolver.
According to the best information,
he was arrested on the charge of
assisting an undesirable immigrant
into the United States after such
person had been refused admittance
by immigration officials at Noyes.
1t appears that Margaret Pearson.
an alien who would be classed as an
undesirable citizen. attempted to
gain admission into the United
States but was turned back by the
immigration inspectors at Noyes.
She remained at Emerson for two or
three days and during that time in
duced Mr.. Wright to pilot her
through 50 that on Tuesday of last
week he smuggled her trunk through
the lines and took the woman her.
self by team to Orleans. where she
embarked on the train and went to
Thief River Falls.
There she became an inmate Of
the red light district. and she was
later arrestedkthere. She confessed,
implicatlng Wright. and was again
deported. The warrant for the
arrest of Wright was straightway
made out at Thief River Falls and
sent to Emerson to- the United
States officers there. II. A. Rider,
deputy United States marshal. went
through Crookston to Emerson
Wednesday and there on that
warrant arrested Wright at the point
of a gun. hand cutting him and TAX
ING him on the Great Northern to
Warren and from Warren to Thief
River Falls on the 500 where the
trial was had before L. G. Browning
United States commissioner.
The case was given primary
hearing at Thief River Falls. where
z. H. Konzen. Of Hallock. appeared
for the defendant. He was bound
over to the United States district
court under 81. 600 bail. Mr.. Wright
denies that he had anything to do
with the woman entering into thu
United States and that he merel!
went to Orleans on a business tris
connected with the customs service
at Emerson. Friends and acQuain
b tances Of Mr.. Wright on both side
of the line are verv much interested
2 in the outcome of the case.

ness here on Monday.
A prairie fire near Shirly, north
OF Crookston, burned the granary
on the farm of j. F. Banta. to-
gether with four stacks of grain.
The farm house was saved with
much difficulty. The school house
in the district was also burned.
During this dry weather it behooves
all to be very careful about setting
fires Carelessness in this regard
may cause tremendous loss Of pro-
perty as well as loss of human lives.
The work of remodelling the
Swedish Mission church in this city,
commenced on Monday. First the
old building. which was erected in
1883, was raised and turned SO as to
II
face south instead of east. An ad-
dition will be built to the rear with
basement underneath for the accom-
modation of a furnace, and the front
az the building will also be added to
by the construction of handsome
tower. These extensive improve
ments will cost about $4,000, the
whole amount OF, which has already
been subscribed. The pastor. Rev.
4 q. A. jacobson has taken leading
part in getting these valuable i'm
proyements started and it is largely
due to his Christian zeal and enter
,prsie that they have been under
taken at this time. The remodeled
Swedish Mission church will be a
handsome structure and credit to
this city OF churches and schools.

"Gone little while before US to
the city of pure gold,
Gathered by the tender shepard

Gone where pain can never enter. and
where she does not grow old,
Where unknown is death and sick
ness safe within the heavenly
fold.
Gone to be with Christ forever. He
whose love can never be told.
Him she loved, and now is with him,
safe within the heavenly fold.
Goodbye Clara. we will meet you.
on the streets of shining gold.
When at last we all are sheltered safe
within the heavenly fold.

BUTTER MAKER GIVES PAT
RONS SOME EXCELLENT AD-
V1SE

>
Lars Leff1er. butter maker at the
Hendrum creamery, gives the pat
rons of that institution some per-
tinent suggestions in the Hendrum
Review. Among other things Mr..
LETTER saws: Farmers, tring in the
cream as fresh as possible this
sea on. 1t will make up to two
cents a pound difference on the
entire output if you do. In order
to get the highest price on the New
York market the butter must score
81 or better. In scoring. the flavor
counts As per cent. and the flavor is
almost entir!v dependent on the con-
dition Of the cream when brought
in. One can of sour cream will
spoil a whole churning. in fact the
flavor is dependent to the poorest
cream rather than the best. The
state laws governing creameries are
much stricter than ever before and
makes it necessary for the butter
maker to refuse any cream that is
not sweet =

THE LARIMORE VERDICT.

The verdict of the jury in the Lari.
more Ease will probably be acceptable
to friends of the accused, and con-
demned by others. The acquittal OF
the defenda was a surprise to most
of those who heard the evidence, and
who believed a violation of the Mon
tana laws had been committed.
A citizen of Chouteau county was
killed by the defendant under circum-
stances about which there was conflict.
ing evidence, and the jury decides the
killing was justifable. w. p. Turner
is dead; the man who killed him is re.
garded by the jury as innocent o.
crime.
According to the verdict OF the jury
the proper way to collect a debt is tc
go after the debtor with q gun, and il
he resents such methods, shoot hin
down. That may have been the Gus
tom before laws were enacted anG
courts established, for the purpose O.
securing to every citizen the rights
and privileges to which he is entitled
but it is not good advice for the pres
ent generation.

TAFT IS NOTIFIED,
Republican Presidential Nominee
Delivers Speech Of Acceptance.

CINCINNATI, July %. - Officially
notified today of his nomination for
the presidency by the republican
party, William H. Taft, standing on
the portico of his brothers home in
this city, the city of his nativity, for.
maIly accepted the honor, pledged
anew his allegiance to the policies of
President Roosevelt and declared
that the chief function of the next re-
publican adminstrat alton would be to
clinch what has already been accom-
pliahed by the present occupant of the
White house. In doing this, however
Mr.. TAFT pointed out, in what is re.
garded as the conservative note in his
address, that there will be serious and
difficult work to do, principally ito
devise ways and mean in which the
high level OF business integrity and
obedience to law which he president
Roosevelt has established may be
maintained and departures from it
restr aimed without undue interference
with legitimate business"
Mr.. Taft attacked the democratic
platform, asserting that most of its
declarations either are inconsistent or
heterogeneous. Mr.. Bryan's policies
were held up as destructive.
The vast audience that heard the
candidate filling the porches, lawns
and streets surrounding the Taft re-
sidcnce and seeming not to mind the
intense heat which the direct rays of
q midsummer sun sent down p o it,
was responsive to Mr.. Taft's every
mood, and there we're loud cries OF
"No. Mo-" when he said:
II submit to those most interested,
to wage.earners, to farmers and to
business men, whether the %sintroduc-
ton into power Of the democratic
party, with Mr.. Bryan at its head and
with the business Observation-Disclosures /,
openly advocates as q remedy for
present evils, will bring about the
needed confidence or a restoration Of
prosperity"
Mr.. Taft spoke for one hour and
seven minutes. Because of the in
tense heat, which he appeared to feel
more keenly beneath the canopy Of
the speakers stand than did those on
the open lawn, he cut ;his enunicatior
OF principles in many places short.

sion to this country free of duty the
hides of American cattle shipped to
England alive for beef andIslaughtered
abroad.
Many thousand Of these hides are
brought annually into this country
from England, valued all approx
mately $40 each. Duty was always
assessed at 10 per cent or about $1.5(
per hide. 1t is said byithe:protesting
importers that paragraph No. 4S3 OF
the Dingley tariff, which provides for
the free entry of American goods no
enhanced in value or improved il
condition, overs their contention
that these American hides shoult
come in as American goods, free 0
duty.

STATE LAND

The recent public hearing at kalis.
pell to investigate charges OF graft
and agcment in connection
with sales of state timber lands, is a
subject of interest to the people OF
Montana. The timber lands owned
by the state constitute part OF an en-
dowmeut by the federal government
for the support OF educational and
other public institutions in Montana,
and the methods by which ovenue is
derived from them should be a matter
of concern to every citizen OF the
state.
1t was alleged 10y critics OF the state
land board that large areas OF state
timber land in Flathead county had
been sold in an irregular manner, that
the price received was considerably
below the market value, and hal The
state land board had protited person
ally by some of the transactions. Tht
stories of graft and mismanagemen
were so industriously circulated, tina
the state officials decided to investi
gate them.
The public hearing at kalispel
failed to develop any testimony tina
sustained the charges of graft agains
the members of the state land board
and Q statement issued by Governo
Norris acquits them of any suspicion
that may have been caused by sue
remarks. Some of the evidence indi
Gated that the law regarding sales G
state land had not been observed i
every particular, but there was n
proof that the public interests ha'
been affected by these technical irres
ularities. AS to the charge that stat
timber lands had been sold at a pric
below their value, q definite conclu
sion will not be reached until a me-
appraisement of some Of the tract
shall have been made.
An investig alton of the methods {
the state land board and other publ
officials should be welcomed at a
times by the parties concerned. l

Federal Grand Jury Reports.

HELENA, July 29.-The final report
of the federal grand jury was made
this afternoon, and ten more indict.
meuts returned, making a total Of 36.
Five of those returned today were
made public. The grand jury present
ed District Attorney Freeman with q
silver mounted briar pipe in token OF
their appreciation. OF all the cases
presented indictments were not found
in only two, these charging Charles
Peterson and William Goss with horse
stealing on the Blackfeet reserv alton.
Three men who were indicted by the
grand jury pleaded guilty in the
federal court and were sentenced.
George Goodwin, charged with Civ
ing Intoxicating liquor to a Crow In
dian, was sentenced to 20 days in the
county Jail and to pay a fine of 800,
Mark Madwoig, who introduced
liquor on the B~lackfoot reserv alton,
was given 80 days in Jail and q fine
OF 800.
Ed Foster, a stage driver, who wa:
charged with introducing liquor or
the Blackfeet reservation, said he haG
four bottles Of whiskey, unopened,
when he was arrested. He said hi
was going to take the whiskey to
station on the Great Northern outside
of the reserv alton and have a Fourth
of July jollitic alton. He was given 81
days in Jail and q fine of 300.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1908-08-05

the absence of full and accurate in
formation regarding the performance
of their official duties, there is apt to
be unfounded suspicious of negligence
or ~crookedness that would be removed
by a more complete understanding OF
the situation, and a public hearing at
which complaints of any kind may be
presented affords an opportunity to
review the work Of public employees.
The latter, II they have given proper
service, should not be averse to such
investig ations, while the public would
obtain desirable information upon
matters in which Montana citizens
generally are interested.
Criticism of the state land board in
regard to leasing grazing lands has
been heard from time to time in vari.
GUS parts of northern Montana, the
allegations being to the effect that
selections have been made and leases
given 20 favored individuals. Az to
the truth of these stories of discrimin-
alton, the River Press is not satisfac-
torily advised, but the allegations
have become current gossip in this
part of Montana. It is possible that
all the transactions have been on the
square, and that a hearing similar to
that at Kalispell, and at which com.
plants may be made and explanations
offered, would clear the atmosphere OF
suspicion against the public officials
affected.
