VALUABLE coTToNwoop TREES.

The much despised cottonwood
tree may yet be the solution OF the
timber question and take the place OF
the slow growing and rapidly disap-
pearing white pine for wood pulp and
timber PURPOSES. It would seem tina:
the value Of the cottonwood has been
unappreciated by. its condemners.
According to Appointment student Of
forestry 1t has recently developed
that cottonwood trees make about
the finest lumber procurable for
building purposes, It not only makes
fine dimension stun, but works well
into furniture and carriages. It takes
Inc polish and IS easily stained in
imitation Of any wood. It has . strong
nterlacing fibre, win not split or
check and is valuable for paper pulp,
for which purpose it will attain a sui
ficient size in a few years. It is just
the tree to set out to reclaim land
and at the same time to make a
profitable crop.
II this be true, what has been con
sidered q curse will become q bless
ing and people will cease to complain
of the flying cotton from cottonwood
trees.

the state n fact Judge HuntsFia
said TO have asserted that It Was but
III question Of asshort time until SEES
ssions would have to be held here.
IN view Of this statement and consid'
ering the needs Of eastern Montana,
It would seem that the agitation to
have sessions Of the federal court held
here - most timely since favorable
action upon 1t now would mean the
erection Of a larger federal building
in, Billings than has been intended.
The attorneys OF other cities in east
ern Montana, as well as those OF
Billings, can probably afford to join
in agitation, which is in the interest
Of not only Billings but all eastern
Montana.

even than the most enthusiastic
booster has been prone to claim.
This steady growth will be augment
ca by people who will settle along
the line OF the Billings & Northern
railroad, SO that the population should
continue to increase in this remarka-
BILE manner for sometime. Such an
increase in the country assures a sim
liar increase in the cities, where sup
plies are purchased and products
marketed. The whole increase guar
antees excellent times and remarka-
BILE prosperity in eastern Montana.
The claim that the growth Of this Sec
ton Of the country has never been
equaled by any other section Of the
nation, under similar circumstances, IS
certainly deserving OF credit.

AFTER THE CONVENTION.

The result Of the Chicago conven-
ton seems to be most satisfying. The
national ticket seems to please all.
The strongest opponents OF Secretary
Taft have rallied to his support and
laid aside their personal feelings and
are supporting the ticket. They have
sent their congratulations to the nom
inee and announced that they will get
into the harness and work for sue
cess Of the party and the party's can
ddtdates. The past, apparently, is OBJ
liberated. The leaders Of republican,
ism look only to the future. Wrang-
ling and fighting and hate and disgust
have been cast aside and the men
who fought over issues and candi-
dates yesterday are prepared today to
work shoulder to, shoulder for the
success OF republican principles under
the leadership of William H. Taft and
James 8. Sherman. The predictions
OF those. who asserted that the de.
feated candidates and their support.
ers would be angered, have proved
unfounded. The Fairbanks boom, the
LaFollette boom. the Hughes boom,
the Cannon boom. the Foraker boom
are no more. They are amalgamated
an the mi big boom for Taft. The
secret OF republican success has been
displayed again. It is the ability Of
the party to get together after the
nomination is made. The republican
party is united, the friends Of all the
candidates OF yesterday are the advo.

IA FRIEND oEsTHE WEST.

The naming OF James SchOolcraft
Sherman OF New York as a candidate
for vice president on the republican
ticket should be Of unusual interest
to the people Of the Yellowstone val
ley.
Mr.. Sherman is a friend Of the
west. To no eastern member of the
lower house OF congress is the north
west as greatly indebted. No con-
gresham is more highly regarded by
the western representatives. For two
years he was chairman OF the commit
tee on Indian affairs and It was due
largely to his efforts that the western
congressman were able to have the
Grow Indian reservation opened and
the Nathead and Blackfeet reserva-
lions prepared for homesteaders. He
has also been interested in the recla-
nation work being carried on by the
government in the northwest and has
always advocated its extension. Vel
lowstone county. men who have had
occasion to go before the committee
on Indian affairs at Washington have
always received a careful hearing from
Mr.. Sherman and have often been as
sisted by him In their efforts for the
improvement Of the west.
II James Schoolcraft Sherman Is
elected vice president Of the United
States the presiding officer Of the SEN
ate will be q friend OF the west, and II
he should ever be called to I'LL the ex-
ecutive chair the head Of the nation
will be a man well acquainted with
the needs OF the west.

scHEMiNe DEMOCRATS.

Indications are that the democrats
Of eastern Montana will probably re-
ceive very little considerations at the
hands of the Bozeman convention.
There are several eastern Montana
democrats, who could capably repre-
sent their party at Denver, but the
chances for their being selected grow
Simmer every day. The politicians,
who rule the democratic party in Hell
ena and Butte are scheming to con-
troll the convention and, it has been
passed among the faithful that east
ern Montana il to be left out in the
cold.
The slate has been fixed. The rank
and file are not in it. The machine
has been oiled and 'the steam rollers
Tom Taggart talked about in Chicago
won't be in it with the democratic
monster at Bozeman. Ex-Governor
Toole Is the machine candidate to
head the delegation and with him will
be former Senator Clark; ex-Congress-
man Charles Hartman; David G.
Browne, chairman Of the state cen
trail committee; and then the other
delegate will be a man from Butte
with about q dozen after the honor.
If this be the slate then eastern Mon
tana won't get very much.
There is a possibility that u old
friend "Billy" George may be able to
break in as oneaof the six, but even
that is doubtfulss though Mr.. George is
one of the ablest democrats in the
state, q man who stands for some
thing, and whose democracy could
not be questioned, But the demo
T cratic leaders in the western part of
the state have been out of office for
some time and they r laundering
for something; they run the machine
so that unless something is done to
break machine rule in the democratic
party in Montana eastern Montana
will be left with the bag to hold. No
wonder the Butte Miner says little
about democracy, preferring to hide
its scheming and the machines
scheming behind talk about republi.
can policies.

SHERMAN FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

SHERMAN FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
James s. Sherman Of New York is
the choice Of the republican. party for
vice president of the United States.
The choice Of the national convention
yesterday is undoubtedly an excellent
one. There is no man better qualified
to fill the once Of vice president Of
the United States than is Mr.. Sher-
man. His record as q member Of the
lower house Of congress, where he is
known as one Of the ablest parliament
tarians, makes him especially we'll
equipped to become presiding officer
or the senate. His wonderful grasp
of public questions and his broad and
liberal views equip him to fill the
position OF chief executive should he
be called to do e. Congressman
Sherman is one of: the really great
men in the republican party. Since
1886, with the exception Of one term,
he has been a member Of congress,
active in the deliberations OF the
body, whose membership holds him in
the highest esteem. @S
In compliment to his ability the
speaker of the house seconded his
nomination In the national conven-
ton. There could be no better testi-
monial as to his ability as a states
man.
Congressman Sherman is a native.
OF New York, having been born in.
Utica, October "a, 1856. He gradual
ed from Hamilton college IN 1878 and.
after reading law was admitted to the
bar in 1880. IN 1884 he was chosen
mayor Of Utica and in 1886 he vas
elected a member Of congress. He
has been prominent in the delibera-
tons Of that body since, with the ex-
ception Of two years. He has been
chairman Of the New York republican
state convention and two years ago
he was chosen chairman of the repub-
lican national congressional commit
tee. While a lawyer by profession,
he is also interested In banking and
manufacturing enterprises.
In 1899 he was a candidate against
David B. Henderson for speaker Of the
house Of representatives and has fire.
quently acted as chairman of the COM
mitteef Of the whole. Politically he is
aspower il New York and is a strong
addition to the ticket.
