wealth large sums of money. The
largest of these items came from the
settlement of the lumber cases, the
gross earning tax cases, the Kennedy
inheritance tax case, and others.
Not only have large sums of money
come into the treasury, but they will
result in constantly, augmenting
streams of gold in the direction of the

Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon
were traitors to their party, if not to

port to the Wickersham railroad bill as
it came from the attorney general s
office and demanded that it go through
congress.
''That bill was a direct reputation
of the republican party platform of
1908, and it was directly in the inter
ests Of the railroads and not in the
interest Of the great common people
of the country" said Senator Cummins.
''Speaker Cannon and Senator
Aldrich, and men of their class, seem
to think the republican party was
formed to make men rich. think it
was born to make men free. They
think it was born to make millionaires;
I believe it was born to drive misery

merchant of San Diego, says the
" Commercial Bulletin" is using
very clever advertising device, which,
for originality and cheapness, is ahead
of most of the attention getters.O
The device consists of cheap magic
lantern which was hung high up in the
window and lighted with a sixteen
candlepower electric light. The magic
lantern was focused on the sidewalk
outside and each night after the store
closed and until it was automatically
shut off by an alarm clock at 12 O'Clock.
every passerby saw in large letters re-
Elected on the walk the good things the
store had to sell or the specials for the
next day. A new ad. was shown each
night, it being a simple thing for the
merchant to change mis- sidewalk dis
play All that was necessary was to
w-ite the ad. on clear glass slide, with
a glass marking pencil, and put the
slide into the magic lantern.
The lantern was fastened Just above
the glass on the inside of the window,
which made it difficult for the passers,
by to see what made the peculiar sign
on the walk, that could be seen in the
darkness. The awning was let down
each night so the sidewalk would be
darker, making the sign show up in
brilliant manner.

MONTANA.
New Railway Developments.

More than 600 miles or new railway
track are to Ire laid in Montana at a
cost of about 25,000,000, is the an
nouncement made recently by promi
nent railway officials. Right of way
has been secured for the greater part
of this new mileage, and a number of
parties of surveyors are in the field To-
eating the remainder of the mileage
to be constructed. One of the most
important of the new lines is to be
constructed as a cutoff for the North
ern Pacific, extending from Glendive
to Helena, distance of $50 miles. This
road will pass through Dawson, Fergus
and Meager counties, which is a new
and sparsely settled section offering
many opportunities for homeseekers.
The chief purpose for the construction
of this new line is to give a more di-
rect route from st. Paul to the Coast,
and the new road will be used chiefly
for mail and fast freight. This road
will parallel the Milwaukee road from
Miles City to Meager, but at an aver
age distance of twenty-five miles. In
connection with the building of this
350-mile cutoff at an estimated cost of
$10,000,000, announcement is made that
the railway company will colonize large
tracts of their lands. 1t is their policy
to keep these lands out of the hands of
spectators as much as possible. To
indicate the rapid settlement of Mon
tana, the president of the Northern
Pacific states that 100000 acres, from
the total of $4,000 acres that had been
disposed of during the ten months
periods ending March 81, were in Mon
tana.
1t is also announced that the Great
Northern will construct a road south
easterly from Mondak to Lewistown, a
distance of 26s miles. Right of way
has been secured for this road, and sur
veyors are in the field selecting the best
route for a further extension of this
road from Lewistown to Helena, an adj
ditional distance of more than 10C
miles. The estimated cost of this road
is from twelve to fifteen millions. II
addition to these two lines that are
definitely projected, the Milwaukee sys
tenn is reported actively at work on 8
branch line from Milestone through
Lewistown to Great Falls These new
railway lines will give transportation
to a very large territory in Montana
and will be the means of rapid develop
ment, for both the Hill and the Milwau

of the reforestation being two dollars
and half an acre. The seeds may be
purchased in seed stores at a cost of

1t is found more economical in some
cases for the forest rangers and guards
