War Among Railroads Over
Seattle Rates

! Chicago, Jan. 8.-The Inter- Ocean
today prints the following news article
A warm fight among western rail-
roads over the rates, to the Alaska
Yukon exposition, which will be held
/ at Seattle this year has been started bv
the Burlington road, which announced
rate OF sixty-two dollars for the
round trip from Chicago. The other
roads had been waiting for q general
agreement to be made among the
lllles OF the transcontinental passenger
association as to what the rate should
be. Although there is no legal reason
why the Burlington should not act in
dependentiy, its action is entirely
contrary to the rule it customarilv
takes.
The sloWness Of the other roads
in reaching an agreement on the rate
a
caused us to issue the announcement, =
said q representative Of the Burlington
in explanation.
Representatives of other roads de-
elared that if the Burlington proposes
taking Independent action before rate
matters have been considered by the
association it would mean serious
break in the heretofore harmonious |
relations existing between the western |
roads.

fat cattle from Bridger, when he
returned to Glendive Saturday last.
These beeves have all been fed ON

New Montana Story

Montana has come prominently to
the fore in $4,000 prize story
contest, which is being conducted by
the New York Herald. The Yellow
stone Monitor was informed today
that a Montana school teacher,
whose name has not yet been made
public, is the author Of a delightful
little tale to be published In the New
York Herald Sunday, January II,
in the competition open to school
teachers Of the entire country.
Prizes are to be awarded the auth
ors Of all the stories published in
accordance with the votes of the
public The New York Herald de-
cided that in order to exclude every
possibility Of partially in the max
ing Of the awards it would let the
readers Of the series themselves de-
termine by vote the worth Of the
stories. The Montana author is guar
anteed by the publication Of her
story prize Of at least S25 and has
splendid opportunity of winning
$4,000. Montanans are expected to
cast many votes in an effort to bring
the grand prize to this State.
''The City of Shadows is the title
Of the Montana teachers story. It is
said to be charming little tale,
with humor that is delicious and
just a touch of pathos, and it is cap
italy written. The story is not only
a credit to Montana but to its auth
or.
Two distinct competitions are be-
ing conducted by the New York
Herald-one restricted to school
teachers of the entire country and
the, other open to amateurs and
other American writer's. Two stories
are to be published in each competi-
ton for twenty six consecutive Sun
days, ending July 4. Manuscripts
received by the Herald not later
than Monday, June Z, at six P. M,
will be entered in the contest.
Stories should not exceed $500
words.
The New York Herald states that
the purpose Of the contest is to en-
courage school teachers and amateur
writer's generally to show their
strength as story telIers. It is hoped
in this way to help men and women,
particularly young men and women,
to demonstrate their ability to tell
striking tales of romance and adyen-
ture who otherwise would remain
mute and inglorious as writer's for
the public. It is very probable that
more than one genius with the pen
will thus be brought to light-to
the delight Of the reading world and
their own great profit. Under pres
ent conditions in the magazine and
newspaper field it is very difficult for
an unknown writer to get a hearing.

TRuTHruL WORDS WELL sam

Some one, we do not know who, has
penned the following splendid and truth
full lines: 1t does seem that farmers
have more reason to be thankful than
any other class of people. We have
the finest country and the best govern
ment under the sun, and it is a fact
that to large extent, our rulers have
come from farm homes. Farm crops
have been unusually good. The voca-
ton Of farming is gaining in dignity,
and the farmer is coming to his right
ful place among the respected and use
full men of the nation. Into the farm
home may now be brought the best of
literature, art and music, and all that
makes for cultured, wholesome and
healthful livelihood, and its doors may be
securely closed against the unnatural,
unhealthful and impure vices of city
life. All the good things of life are
now coming the way of the farm peo-
pie, and all things that make for
larger and fuller life are his for the
asking. Why should not farm people
be thankful

razors. Mr.. Smith listened as long as he
could and then he arose and said in q
voice that was solemnity itself.
II would like to ask the senator from
North Carolina a few questions"
Certainly replied Mr.. Simmons, full
Does the senator expect to obtain more
revenue by reducing the duty on razors?'
inquired Mr.. Smith.
Il was not discussing that phase of the
question"
Does he wish to make these razors
cheaper?''
1T is to obtain razors at reasonable
prices"
Just one more question:" said Mr.
Smith. Does the senator wish to lower
the price for domestic or social pur.
poses?"
