Why the Jury Acquitted Pat.

An freshman was arrested for
stealing a piece of pork. The
evidence was all against him, land
everybody present expected that
he would be convicted. When
the jury came back the verdict
was not guilty.
The judge was angry.
You scoundrel, he said, Just
as sure as I'm setting here |
know you are guilty, but / can t
do otherwise than as the jury
says"
His own lawyer, who had Civ
en- up the case, said to him:
Tell me, Pat, how you got off
scot free when | know you stole
that pork"
well, We see, sorr," said Pat,
each man in the jury had a

OPPORTUNITY FOR PANHANDLE.
Chance to Show Her Fat Hogs French Says
Panhandle Is Not EqualIsd For Hog CuI-
turs-wants Exhibit at Stock Show.


G. G. French of the Fit. Worth
stock yards was here last week
looking at the plains country,
especially with reference to its
value as a hog-raising district.
In connection with the yards at
that place Mr.. French has been
so impressed with the fine pork
ers that are turned into that
market from that barren des.
ert.' the plains. that he decided
to investigate the matter and see
if there was any Judging" be-
ing done in the hog shipping
business. A trip to the plains,
OF course, would settle the ques-
ton as far as he was concerned,
and so it did.
Arriving here he made inquiry
as to who were the principle hog
raisers of this territory and Wis
tied their farms and ranches to
see the swine where they grew.
To his establishment he found
the outlook more promising than
he had dreamed was possible.
Il want you people to send us
a car of lights and a car of
heavies to the fat stock show
next spring. said the stock
man, and have been talking to
some of your best breeders here
on the subject. | think if your
people know their interests and
guard them as they should, the
exhibit will come"
The reporter asked Mr.. French
if that was not quite common for
our hogs to top the market at
the Panther City. It's nothing
uncommon" was the reply. He
said that he never saw the equal
of this for hog country, con-
sidering the short time in which
it has developed. -Plainview Her

III Health is More Expensive Than any Cure

This country is now filed with
people who migrate across the
continent in all directions seek
ing that which gold cannot buy.
Nine tenths of them are suffering
from that throat and lung trouble
or chronic catarrh resulting from
neglected colds, and spending
fortunes vainly trying to regain
lost health. Could every suffer
er but undo the past and cure
that first neglected cold, all this
sorrow. pain, anxiety and ex-
pense could have been avoided.

famous for it's cures of colds,
and can Away be depended upon.

eases may be avoided, For sale

The governor, in his speech.

The governor, in his speech,
made no reference to these ques-
tions. He stated, however, in
the course of his address, that
while he did not charge that they
would, yet some counties might
dodge their share of taxes. Yet
it was clear to the reading pub
lie, that they were already, at
that time, disregarding the law.
The governor further stated that
it might require a little time for
the people to come around to the
point of observing the law, but
that they would eventually do so.
In this, if sincere, he was GER
tainly not logical. The logical
conclusion would be that if this
law was not enforced the first
year, it would never be. Moth
ing but fear of punishment will
force the tax dodgers or tax
lodging county to an honest
rendition. And when he sees
no effort on the part of the Elk
ecutive Department to enforce
the law, he will feel more i'm
mune next year.
But this is not all nor is it the
worst feature of this unhappy
and deplorable state of affairs,
growing out of the Executive be-
ing more active in evading the
province of the legislative de-
partment and coercing the en-
actment of a law, than he is in
enforcing law. Next year these
honest and law abiding Commits
sioners' Courts, suffering from
the non enforcement of the law
and groaning beneath an unequal
burden of taxation, will recog-
nize the first law of nature, self
preservation; will take the iron
clad oath with mental reserva-
ton" as the tax dodger took it
this year with IMMUNITY; valua-
tons will be reduced and the
county rate assessed at the
maximum, and the contest as to
which county may pay the least
taxes to the state be resumed.
Then will the last state of
tax reform be worse than the
first?"
What is the remedy? Could
not a state board of equalization
furnish some relief? Or will
complete enforcement of the
state and county sources of rev.
enue be necessary? And is that
practicable?
1t is a question that calls for
the best thought and most earn
est effort. Respectfully,
A. n. HENSON.

| quote as follows from letter
which I wrote to w. w. D. Terrett
of Miles City, Mont, under date of
March 25, 1905:
1--WE had two purposes in view in
Withdrawing our lands from sale in
Montana and elsewhere, one was to
stop speculation in them, the other
was to determine to what they are
best adapted. We have heretofore,
assumed, and we now think erroneous
ly, that excepting for such as could
be irrigated, the lands in eastern Mont
ana were only fit for grazing on account
of insufficient moisture. Based, how
ever, upon what we have actually seen
ourselves in eastern Washington and
our information as to what was being
done in other so-called arid states, we
think likely it will be found that there
is sufficient moisture in eastern Mont
ana for dry land farming and we have
arranged with the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the state
experiment station TO conduct num-
Der of experiments in dry land farm
ing at different points in Montana.
These experiments are about to be
commenced, and several of the expert
ment stations will be in eastern east
ern Montana.
'sPendiag determination of this i'm
portant question, we have felt it in
advisable to offer our lands for sale.
While we believe the experiments
will prove that dry land farming car
be conducted on these lands, we are
not sure of that fact and do not fee
it wise to encourage settlement until
the question is determined; nor, or
the other hand, do we wish to sell
land for grazing purposes and at graz.

found to be adapted to general agri-
culture.

lands are adapted to general agricul

tions so as to meet the reasonable
wishes of the livestock interests and
stating that the regulation concerning
the pasturage use of the forest re-
serves can be still further modified so
that there will not be any serious OBJ
lection to them on the part of the
people: recommending that III estab-
fishing quarantine no great stretch OF
territory shall be included, but each
band affected shall have established
for it a territory with specific boun-
daries. Further, that no quarantine
district shall be so large as to include
native band Of sheep free from dis
ease located on it's own range, it being
deemed an injustice to establish a
quarantine district so large that it is
impossible to move a band of sheep
free f1om disease from one part of the
country to another.
The resolutions were adopted, that
referring to forest reserves being the
only one to meet serious objections.
Officers were elected as follows:
President, F. D. O'Neill; vice
president, George W. Myers; secre-
tary and treasurer, H. B. Wiley; ex-

opened it's twenty-second annual con-
vention here today.
Vice-President G. w. Myers called
the meeting to order at ten O'Clock.
Sydney Sanner welcomed the visitors
and Hon. William Lindsay of Glendive
responded.
A committee to nominate all the
other committees was appointed as
follows: T. J. Porter, ]. E. Prindle,
r. R. Selway, Thomas Hammond and
A. McHoward.
Prof. Linfeld of Bozeman Agricul-
turaI college talked on dry farming,
and DIR. Knowles, state veterinarian,
discussed diseases of sheep.
Montana is not much troubled with
sheep diseases, according to DR..
Knowles, but purchasers are advised
to take careful note of what diseases
exist among sheep in localities where
they intend to buy, this being one
good way to guard against diseases
being brought into this state.
Secretary H. B. Wiley of the asso-
citation reported very favorable win
ter for sheep, the best in twenty-five
years. One band of 1900 head hac
lost only fifteen, another band of 2, 8O(
suffered the loss of only thirty-five.
A heavy clip is expected. A cure
for lip and leg diseases of sheep has
been found, according to Mr.. Wiley.
and no loss this year resulted from
that source. Eighteen to 20 cents i:
expected for wool this year, together
with a good lamb crop.
