plan which I advocate. The mission

the gospel, unfolded our Savior's

pitfalls for the sick; they did not send
physicians and surgeons around to
do gratuitous service to the afflicted;
they did not furnish homes for desti-

Orient; they did not furnish food
and clothing in time of famine. They
simply preached the word of God,
and went their way leaving the con-
verts at one place to become the
nucleus, who would win over other
converts and thus establish
Church.
About one hundred years ago, an
enthusiast named Carey, an Eng
man, began this modern system of
virtually hiring the heather to re-
nounce the faith of their fathers, and
to call themselves Christians. At the
present time, they offer to the poor
er classes of heathendom such in
ducements to call themselves disci-
pies of Christ that we never can tell
whether they have really undergone
a change of heart, or whether they
have simply come over to us to get
their share of the loaves and fishes.

as charity work is concerned, the
rich Chinese, of whom there are mil
lions, should take care of the desti-

standardized set of weights, varying
from the troy grain to the 50-pound

then it will be an easy matter to make
duplicates of the weights, to be used
by county scalers or state deputy,
by which the weights throughout the
state can be tested. Secretary Yoder
will also ask for an accurate yard
stick and set Of liquid measures, so
that the state will be ready to check
all discrepancies.

NEWS OF MONTANA
Important Happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.
NEW COUNTIES PROPOSED.
Movement to Divide Custer and
Dawson,

LAWSON.
Miles City.'--The proposed formations
OF four and possibly five new counties,
Dy dividing up Dawson and Custer
counties is topic that. is now over
snadoW1ng all others in eastern Mont
ana, Committees from Wibaux. Ss-
may, Ekalaka, Baker and Terry have
been exchanging visits for the past
TWO weeks endeavoring to arrive at
satisfactory boundaries. Sidney
town on the lower Yellowstone in Daw-
son county, is also discussing the ad.
visibility of putting in a claim for
territory during the coming session.
mere are over $4,000 square miles in
Dawson and Custer counties, and the
outlying towns claim that with such
an immense territory governed by two
county seats, the expense of govern
ment is greatly increased. They also
claim that they can administer their
own affairs cheaper and better than
under the present conditions.
The Wibaux district was the first
in the field and has gone at the matter
in more systematic matter and has
presented stronger claims than any of
the towns now in the field. 1t seems
likely that after the whole matter is
threshed out by the business organi-
cations OF Miles City and Glendive that
Wibaux at least will arrive at sat-
lsfactory understanding as to how
much territory will be allowed the
proposed Wibaux county without op-
position from the two old county seats.
The proposed county as now outlin-
ed will take in 20 townships in the
southeast corner of Dawson county
and 16 townships in the northeast cor
ner of Custer county. 1t embraces
practically all of the famous Golden
Valley, has an assessment of over two
million dollars, a population of about
5000, and is paying in licenses, fees
and taxes nearly $4,000.
Ismay, a new Milwaukee town. and
the home of Representative George w.
Burt, has blocked out a strip west Of
the proposed Wibaux county that is
over 1900 square miles in area. AS
this county will include an immense
railway mileage, it will very likely
meet the opposition of Miles City.
The Baker county scheme is not SER
iously regarded here, since it is look
ed upon merely as a feint to defeat
Wibaux county and does not include
any railway. The Terry scheme may
take in portion of Dawson and Gust
er counties. It is understood that of
the five members of the legislature in
Dawson and Custer counties, four are
pledged to Wibaux county, two to Is
may, and two to Ekalaka.
