THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF BILLINGS COUNTY

The inconsistencies of our po-
litical servants are things of beauty
and wonder. The men hired to
represent the people seem to think
that the only way for them to seem
to earn their money is to oppose
any and every proposition made
by any other man from a different
part of the country. The interests
of the peope are widely varied; in
the north grain, lumber and stock
raising, in the west lumber and
fruit and minerals, in the south
cotton, and miscellaneous manu-.
features in the east. Now the coun-
try is in the hands of two great
parties, either of which, by con-
certed action, could carry almost
any proposed measure, Instead
of working together, either party
is divided against itself, refusing
to work tremendously on the very
principals upon which the men,
bers were elected to their positions
as representatives of the people.
A gentleman from a farming dis
trict will believe the tenets of the
party all right, and will introduce
a bill. Now he knows that the
party is for revision downward.
He believes it too; but he does not
think for a minute that that ap.
plies to his constituents but that
they must have even little better
protection than they have thereto.
fore had. That steel, lumber, wool,
cotton and all manufactured goods
the farmer buys shout be free, he
believes is plain to every man.
The same case holds the rest OF
them. A bill proposed is always
a signal for the champions for the
various districts to arise, giro
themselves and fight. For the chief
good Of the country they have ne
regard, but only for the financial
we'll being Of some men or class Of
men, do they battle. When the
millennium has so nearly arrived
that a man can be patriot, rather
than a provincial, then we may

see the good of the whole people
considered instead of the we'll be-
ing of a chosen few who have money
to pay for the costly lobby and for
the hire of expensive private Con-
gressmen.
The assertion that "the sun
shure do move" might be applied
to times in Medora. That twenty
five years covers a countryside
with an entirely new people can
scarce be imagined. Few people
of a quarter of a century ago re-
main in this locality is evidenced
by copy of the Bad Lands Cow
Boy, dated Aug. Ia, 1884. This
paper has a long account clipped
from the Cheyenne Leader, Of a
certain young Frenchman, one
Marquis de Mores by name, and
his wife who had been Medora Won
Hoffman, daughter of a New York
Banker. The article cites his land
buying, his hunting and shooting
in company with his wife, his pre-
ception and perspicuity in the mat
ter of killing beef where lit was
raised. The article goes into the
matter Of dress, income, immense
land interests in France and his
appearance in cities and the wild
cow country. The result shows
how little any mans judgement
has to do with success. The reason
ing that cattle could be killed here
more cheaply than they could if
shipped east and back was good,
and nothing but experience taught
him or any one else just where the
fault lay in the plan. 1t costs the
de Mores immense sums of money
and no one has used the idea in
this country since.-Medora Her.

LAVA FOR RAILROAD BALLAST
Hitherto Regarded as Entirely Use
less Found to Make Excellent
Foundation for Road Bed.

Bend, Ore.-The railroad survey
south from Bend has now reached the
lava fields, distant some eight miles
up the Deschutes. It has just become
known that this lava, which has hith.
erto been regarded as entirely useless,
will supply the very best ballast for
the new road and will probably be
used on the entire central stretch Of
the line. Not only will it fill this pur-
pose excellently well, but contrary to
the belief that has previously existed,
obtaining 1t will be an economical
task I
The experts declare that no Shoot
ing will be necessary, but that q
steam shovel will be able to scoop up
the half d~isintegrated rock and dump
it into cars, practically prepared by
nature for it's new field Of activity. II
such be the Ease it is the very first
time that the lava has ever served
a useful purpose, accordiaG to the
people who have had most to do with
It, for hitherto it has been classed az
q nuisance akin to coyotes and other
pestful productions Of nature.
