Someone Mloht Get Hurt.

Pietro had drifted to Florida and
was working with a gang at railroad
construction. He had been told to
beware Of rattlesnakes. but assured
that they would always give the
warning rattle before striking.
One hot day he was eating his noon
luncheon on a pine log when he saw
a big rattler coiled few feet in front
Of him. He eyed the serpent and be-
gan to lift his legs over the log. He
had barely got them out OF the way
when the snakes fangs hit the bark
beneath him.
"Son of guna!" yelled Pietro.
"Why you no ringa da bell?"-Every-

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more ac-
curate. In selecting the right kind Of
food to fit the body. than that Of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per.
suade him to take more than one taste
Of any kind of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we we're puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well. you never saw child
eat with such a relish, and 1t did me
good to see him. From that day on
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper. and
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
THE difference in his appearance L.
something wonderful.
"My husband had never fancied ce-
real foods of any kind. but he be-
came very fond OF Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
I'VE are now a healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment- They
showed It, So I urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
"They continued the food and today
both children are we'll and strong ns
any children in this city, and, OF
course. my friend is firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day"

the bill, stated that Chris Yegen oil

Senator Carter, who ia strongly IN

WASHINGTON, Feb. A.--During the

Treat the Settlers Right.

A communication received by the
Fort Benton Commercial club from the
immigration department of the Great
Northern railway, calls attention to
reports that locators' fees in some
parts Of northern Montana are un-
reasonably high. The letter says IN
part:
We are advised an effort is being
made in some localities to increase
the fee from s25 to $50. and we wish
to know just which sections are ar
ranging to make this increased charge.
1t is generally known in the east that
the locating fee has been S25, and II
the new settlers find on their arrival
at your town that they are obliged to
pay double this amount, it may result
in d~iscouraging others from coming
to your state, or else divert them to
other localities where the fee is less.
We are preparing to run special
tourist ears from the east with parties
of settlers in charge of our authorized
representatives and will leave nothing
undone to see that every prospective
settler is carefully and we'll located.
In order that your community may
receive the most benefit from the ad.
veftising and work that is being done
by the Great Northern railway there
should be concerted action on the
part of your local people to see that
nothing is done that will in any way
discourage the coming of homeseekers.
In view of the fact that the locating
fee was S25 when the homesteaders
were few it will be difficult for US to
convince the intending settlers that
they are not being taken advantage
of at this time when they are going
out in crowds, should they be Obliged
to pay $50 for being located.

The Man Who Wins.

The man who win 10 the man who works
The man who tolls while the next man shirks
The man who stands in his deep distress
With his head held high in the deadly press
Yes, he lie the man who wins.
The man who wins il the man who knows
The value of pain and the worth of woes
Who q lesson learns from the man who fails
And q moral finds in his mournful walls;
Yes, he is the man who wins.
rhe mai who wins is the man who stays
In the uusought paths and the rocky ways,
And perhaps, who fingers now and then,
To help some failure to rise again.
All, he is the man who wins,
And the man who wins is the man who hears
The curse of the envious in his ears,
But who goes his way with his head held higf
And passes the wrecks of the failures by
For he is the man who Wins.

covery Of New Gold Fields.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ia. = Alaska,
which Secretary Ballinger has fire..
~ouently said was Americas prize
package, may be q greater prize than
man has ever dreamed. Recent in
vestig ations in the Innoko district,
the central Kuskok valley, and the
new Iditarod district, now partially
finished by the United States geologi-
cal survey, disclose new placer dis
tricts which promise very heavy re.
turns.
This little territory, bought from
Russia for 81, 200, 600 in 1867, has to
the present time paid s160, 000, 900 In
gold alone since 1880. when placer
mining there began and what the re.
sources of tie copper, coal and other
minerals will be is beyond the limita-
ton of man to estimate.
The discovery by agents of the
survey of placers on the small streams
ia areas which are drained into the
lower Yukon and on the lower Kuskok
are said to be immensely rich, and
they bear gold at many scattered To-
calities throughout their extent.
The Inmoli district has attracted
some attention and other areas are
now being exploited with prospects Of
large results. Sufficient prospecting
has been done there to indicate the
presence of q pay streak from so to 70
feet wide, with gold uniformly dis
trihuted.

The Capitol Land Grant.
Montana Lookout.

With the question of building stone
disposed of, temporarily at least, there
is q growing disposition in some parts
OF the state to consider the actual re.
sources Of the state in the grant OF
federal lands for capitol building pur-
poses with the possibility that its true
value in the future may be largely
exhausted by extravagant interest
charges fixed in anticipation of en-.
HANGING values.
Including the bond Issue author
lied by the recent special session, the
annual interest charges against the
grant will amount to $685. and at
the present time it is claimed that the
annual net income from rents and In.
terest connected with the grant amour,
only to enough so that there will be
a deficit approximating $4,000 at the
end of the fret year on interest alone.
Given estimator of the value of this
land grant r mere guesses at the
present time. There is not knowledge
available, either as to the amount o
timber or the quantity of arabic land
upon which to base an intelligent cal
culation of the market value of the
property now, saying nothing abou'
that remote time of the future which
the political orators prefer to take al
a hasis In their estimates.
With an aggregate bond issue
against the grant of about $1,000, 00t
and interest charges of $780, 600 pei

COUNTY ROAD PROBLEMS.

A good idea was that advanced by
Lieutenant Governor w. r. Allen
when he declared for q one man su-
pervision of county roads. The road
problem is q big one to every board
of county commissioners in the state,
and 1t Is probably true that, dollar
for dollar, the state over, the public
gets smaller returns from the money
expended on its county highways than
from any other item of expenditure.
Here and there will be found q capa-
BILE and conscientious road supervisor,
but he is the exception rather than the
rule, says the Helena Independent.
Generally speaking, much of the
criticism against county roads should
properly be laid against the present
system of road supervisorship. The
division of the county into road dis
tricts and the appointment of super.
visors for these districts, too often
meal that the task of keeping the
roads in repair and building new ones
is delegated to men who do not de-
vote themselves seriously to the work.
And, % Lieutenat Governor Allen
points out. it is %manifestly impossi.
BILE for the commissioners to keep
close tab on the many supervisors.
There seems little question that bet.
ter results could be accomplished TO,

and, In this connection, 1t is we'll tt
