Billings and the Yellowstone valley
can look for a remarkable influx of
settlers during the coming spring and
summer, according to R. E. Shepherd,
who has just returned from a trip to
Minnesota polnls and Chicago. Mr..
Shepherd says that conditions in the
east are gradually assuming normal.
He is unusually optimistic about the
future in eastern Montana. He de
clares that during the next few years
there will be a large migration to this
section. The R. 3. Shepherd company
offwhich he Is the head is doing much
TO assist In bringing about such inn
migration, as it is colonizing land on
the Billings bench and has already
brought in the neighborhood Of 100
Hollander families here. 1t will bring
chan double that number here
in the near future.
There Is a wonderful movement
from the cities and towns back to the
farm" said Mr.. Shepherd yesterday
IN conversation with a representative
OF The Gazette. "aThe recent financial
depression has caused a movement In
the Mississippi valley, especially. Of
people who left the farm, moving into
the towns, hack to the farm. There
AZ more farming land than ever being
bought, and it is not being taken by
the Spectator but by the settler. The
Spectator has been eliminated from
the market. He is not investing in
farm lands just now.
People Are Coming West.
THE eyes of many people in the
middle states r turned toward this
section. During the past few months
there has been enormous shipments
pf grain from the west east, especial

oat crop In the Mississippi valley
This grain which was shipped east
from Montana has opened the eyes OF
the people and they are beginning to
Investigate the opportunities offered
here. Tho inquiry for irrigated land

Limited Use Of lnjunctions In
Labor Controversies.

Labor Controversies.
The test of the injunction plank and
that relating to tariff read In part as
follows:
THE Republican party declares I'M
souivocally for a revision OF the tariff
nv a special session Of congress I'm
nediately following the inauguration
of the next president and commends
the steps alreadv taken TO this end In
the work assigned to the appropria-
ton committees of the two houses,
which are now investigating the oper-
action and effect OF existing SEIZED
ules."
The Republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integ-
rity Of the courts, state and federal,
and will ever insist that their power
10 enforce their processes and to pro-
tect life, liberty and property shall
be preserved inviolate. We believe,
however, the rules of procedure In
federal courts with respect to the issu-
ance of writ of injunction should be
more accurately defined by the stat
ute; that no injunction or temporary
restraining order should be issued
without notice, except where irrepar.
able injury would result from delay,
in which case speedy hearing there
after should be granted"
The currency plank contains this
language:
THE Republican party approves the
Aldrich-Vreeland currency bill, bu
only as an emergency measure. We
declare for thorough new system o
currency laws that will be in ACCORD
with the needs of the times anC
which will be more adaptable to thu
demands Of business and more elastic
in its character as a circulating
medium"
The trust plank:
THE Republican party passed tn
Sherman anti trust law over Demo

some instrument for good in the hand
OF a wise and fearless administration
effectiveness can be strengthened an
