HIGH CLASS COLONlSTS
A Big Inflow Looked For In the Judith Gap
Country This Spring.

The spring rush of colonists to the
west will begin March |. and in order
that colonists may prepare for the
trip and know what to expect, all
western nS-cOntinental roads have
announced the rate to be made one
way. Colonists may ride in tourist
ears from st. Paul and Duluth to any
point west of the eastern boundry of
Montana for S25. Previously these
rates made each spring were not good
east of Billings; that is, man would
have to buy Il ticket to Billings and
go back eastward from there, taking
his baggage with him. Now, how
ever, he may buy tickets anywhere
inside of Montana. Thousands are
expected to drop off along the lines Of
the Northern Pacific. Great Northern
and the Milwaukee,, where new
country is being opened up and land
may be located to advantage. Rail
roads make distinction between col
onists and hOmeseekers. For home
seekers il round-trip ticket is made.
and these are effective the first and
third of each month. The assumption
is that the hOmeseeker goes out first
and looks overthe country. In March
and April, having decided on a loca-
ton, they are supposed to come with
their families. The railroads are
boasting of special Accommodations for
colOnists. The rate is good only to
those who ride in colonist cars, and
those who ride in these cannot sit in
the Pullman even for pay. They may,
however, have access to the diner.
The Judith Gap country looks for
ward to a big inflow of high class col
Onists after March |.

The engineer saw him walking OH
the track quite distance away and
gave the usual signals. Collier had
his cap drawn down over his ears and
the engineer expected to see him step
off the track long before the engine
reached him and kept blowing the
whistle incessantly. However,, the

"To the Editor:
mot being a business man, accord

that hallowed organization, but let
me ask?
Would it not be better if all those
business men would joint the Cham
Der Of Commerce and bring their
ideas before that organization; and
not only have good ideas, but also
boost for them; at present they fail to
attend the Chamber of Commerce and
then kick because their ideas are not
known or adopted.
"On the other hand if the boost
proposition is merely a blind and as
some Of the speeches would indicate,
it is intended to reopen the dance
halls and gambling joints, the sooner
that effort is chloroformed the better
for all concerned; never again will the
people tolerate old conditions to pre-
dominate; any attempt to take a step
backward will only result in disaster
to the better element in the liquor

the odium caused by the crimi-

the boycott is a two-edged sword, it

Because OF Mr.. Hughes reputation

upon the expedient of having Mr..

going over the entire country, de-

even prohibition; the reckless and
over-bearing actions OF the law
breaking section in the liquor busi-

ance, although they blame the law

for these reprisals; prudence would
dictate, that the whole business be
