as material what is the foundation
upon what civilization must rest.
Educational and moral progress would
halt without it.
Among these problems none appeal
to Mr.. Rockefeller with more force
than the one which is presented by
the slogan "back to the farm" The
farm is the primal source OF wealth,
the support Of all Industries. But
the growing trouble in our country is
that the agricultural resources lack
development for the double reason
that too small Il proportion of the
population turns to farming, and our
methods, notwithstanding the fact
that farming is coming to be regarded
as an exact science, do not develop
the full possibility of the land under
cultivation.
The foundation will solve the prob
lem of getting the man to the farm in
this way. broadly speaking: Steps
will be taken to find out just which
OF the tenement dwellers in the city
have the possibilities in them of max
ing successful farmers. Such of these
as care to make the venture will be
financed: that is, they will be taken
to the farms and furnished with the
necessary supp les to make their
crops. 1t will be in no sense Il chari-

100000 ACRES FOR
HOMESEEKERS IN MONT,

The universal complaint of the
high cost of living has elected an
answering slogan, namely, "Back to
the Farm" A go0dly number of
economists have decided that re-
sponse to that call on the part of a
considerable proportion of the popu-
lation is the only solution OF the
present high cost OF living. If prices
Of food are to be lowered the supply
must be increased, and obviously it
can only be increased by All expan-
sion Of our agricultural interests, and
transportation and other interests are
intent upon informing the public,
particularly that part Of the popula-
lation which is huddled together in
the great cities. OF the opportunities
which awaits them in the western
and northwestern portions of this
continent.
The Great Northern Ry. co. is do
ing its missionary work in concrete
form by giving exhibitions in various
parts of the country of products from
various sections along the line Of it's
system. The company has no land of
its own to offer, it being the only
transcontinental railroad that was

OF any kind. 1t is intent, however,
upon building up the population in
the territory tributary to its lines,
and that. frankly stated, is the reason
!" for the exhibition whtch,the company
will hold in this city, POI Washington
st., during the next few weeks.

Montana is pre-eminently grain
country. The average yield of wheat
in Montana is 26.7 bu. per acre, while
the average for the United States is
1873. The average products of oats
throughout the country is 23.7 bu.,
while in Montana it is ~. The av-
erage yield OF tlaxseed throughout the
country is eight bushels per acre, and
i'll Montana an average OF IA are pro-
duced.
The exhibition is not confined to
the products OF any one state. There
are fruits and vegetables from Mime
sofa, Dakota, Oregon and Washing
ton, as well as from Montana. The
display OF fruit from the Pacific
Northwest is attractive to the degree
OF fascination. A description OF the
exhibition of vegetables would al
most tax the credulity OF one unin-
formed of the wonderful productive
ness Of the far-western country.

Duty Of Republicans

IGOR HALF century the Repub-
~ lican party has been the pro-
gressive, active and creative force
through which all of the policies Of
the republic have been formulated
into legislative enactments. For the
same period of time, the Democratic
party has been the force opposing 1T
the time it was proposed all that has
been accomplished.
The progressive history of this
country for fifty years is the history
OF the Republican party. Whatever
of growth has come to us in mater
ial manner and whatever of glory has
come to our beloved flag has come
through and by means of the instru-
mentality Of the Republican party.
The Democratic party has been the
party of criticism; the Republican
party the party Of action. It's long re-
cord Of success in the enforcement of
laws, in securing legislation, and it's
wise craftsmanship commends the
Republican party to every voter in
this land.
1t is suggested now, after the mag
niticent record Republicanism has
made, to try the experiment of De-
mocracy; to change from certainty to
uncertainty, and from the known to
the unknown. Democracy asks the
people to believe it's promises rather
than Republican performances. Mol

Census EnumeratOrS.

At the recent examination of the
candidates for census enumerators
for Benton County, held by Post
master j. G. Presson, forty-four
applicants took the exaraitetion.
OF that number forty-three were
males and one female.
It seems to be a question as to
how many positions are open for
appointment in this county. Some
districts are too small-too small
to justify anyone to do the work
and it is reasonable to presume
that there will not be as many ap-
pointments as there are districts.
The appointments will be made
from the list of eligibles as soon as
possible. A supplementary exam
ination may be necessary.
The work of taking the census
will begin about April Is.

extent to which the prohibition
movement has spreadin the United
States and elsewhere They read
of a victory now and then, when
some county votes out the saloon,
and wonder now long it will be be-
fore this temperance wave will
subside.
A glance at "wet and dry map
of the United States show that the
liquor traffic is now prohibited in
very much more than half our ter
ritory. Nine States Maine, North
Dakota, Kansas, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia and Tennessee-have pro-
hibited the manufacture and sale
of liquor within their borders;
while every State in the United
States, except, perhaps, one or two,

South Carolina now has only six

duced in their Legislature few
