As the sweet bells ceased to chime
One in life's wintry weather,
One in its April prime.
Wrinkled and bent and faded
With the sorrowfui stress of years
Was the one whose white hair shaded
Sad eyes half-dimmed by tears.
But oh, that face of the morning
That radiant heart Rglow!

NEW MEXICO REPUBLICAN

Republicans carried New Mexico In
the contest for delegates to the CON
stitutional convention on one issue
alone, that of the initiative and refer
endum The militant Republicans OF
the territory, disregardng the advice
OF special interests and demanding
chat the initiative and referendum be
eliminated went to a victory that was
Overwhelming and complete.
And In that election there should
be a lesson TO those OF Us which are
privileged 10 enjoy the blessings OF
the eatiative and referendum--on
we are in no small way Interested in.
That those ideas OF popular govern
ment are a proper and strong check
on bad legislation, il is now conceded
By al no man can deny. In the mean
time designing persons wishing to call
into being abnormal power or make
obnoxious the initiative and referen-
DUN, can By using the same. call the
most silly and unheard OF measures
10 the fore and get votes on same
That has been done in Oklahoma-nol
by men seeking justice or benelicent
laws. but by men who wished TO make
the same great popular doctrine OBJ
noxious and, possibly, attain that
which was and can never be popular
with thinking people.
The initiative and referendum prin-
ciples are correct and, properly amend
ed and safeguarded. are OF great good
for all OF the people The incident in
New Mexico means that the people
wish such great strides made but in
sist that such be done properly and
in such manner as to insure the rights
entail expense and make all citizens
properly satisfied

The town of Cut Bank is the
most important point in northern
Teton county. 1t is located about
midway between Chester and the
Rocky mountains and will eventu-
ally have a tributory trade radius of
about forty miles. Some of its adj
vantages are: An abundance of
good water, good land, moisture,
water power, splendid railroad facil-
tiles, and scenic beauty. 1t is To-
Gated lea the Cut Bank river, and
with the Two Medicine forms the
Marias, the most important river in
northwestern Montana. The Cut
Bank flows thru the Blackfeet re-
servation and near the town of Cut
Bank marks the limits of the reser-
walton. Water will be taken from
it for the CutB Bank unit of the Black
feet irrigation project for 1000
acres. The land north and west of
Cut bank is exceptionally fine in
appearance and productivness, but

When the town incorporates and
becomes a city one of it's first i'm

AT the present rate of growth the
town will incorporate at an early
date.
Cut Bank has finished a modern
hotel. 1t has fifty two rooms and
is provided with running water,
electric lights and other convenience
es. The town is a terminal point of
the Great Northern and Burlington
and many people stop off to view
the beauties of the surrounding
country. An experimental station
has been located here and every eff
fort is being made to assist the new
settlers.
Good sand and stone for building

an abundance of coal. All kinds of
cereals and vegetables grow here
without irrigation. There is plenty
