The Lure Of the West.
Spokesman Review.


Reports by local railway officials
state that the passenger traffic west
ward this summer ia immense. Rail-
road literature and magazine articles
descriptive of the land "beyond the
great divide" are partly responsible
for this stream of people toward the
shores of the Pacific, but probably the
greatest cause is that indeanable some.
thing termed the lure of the west.
Some are drawn west as tourists who
wish to see the real snow.cspped noun

whom return to their homes only to
come again as permanent residents.
Others come to investigate for them.
selves the truth of the stories OF pro.
digious production Of grain and fruit
common to the people of the Inland
Empire but so marvellous to outsiders
that they hesitate to believe.
What ia this lure OF the west? No
body knows, or if he knows he can not
tell. Those who have felt it realize it
to be a strangely compelling presence,
the description OF which can not be pu,
into words, but which, like a siren,
binds and holds them here az long a:
they live.

Range War On the Blackfoot.

HELENA, July 26.-The var over the
range in the Big Blackfoot country
above Lincoln has broken out afresh,
according to word received here. Sew
eral nights ago a band Of armed cat.
tlemen and cowpunchers, numbering
between fifteen and twenty. descended
upon the camp of Marion Stowe, rid.
ing and yelling like q band of savag.
es, and discharging their rifles and
revolvers into the huddled flock of
sheep.
About thirty sheep were killed, one
of the herder's dogs was slain and the
herders we're disarmed and driven over
the main range of the Rockies and
warned never to return. The band of
$500 woolies was then taken charge of
by the raiders, turned back to the east
side of the range and scattered for
miles.
The feeling between the sheepmen
and cattlemen has become very bitter
as the result of these raids and actual
bloodshed is feared il more bands OF
sheep are driven over to the west side
of the range. Stoves usual range is
on the Dearborn, it is said, and the
cattlemen assert be has no right to
cross over to the west side.

Mantle Meets Roosevelt.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 25.-Theo.
dore Roosevelt said today he expected
to meet former United States Senator
Lee Mantle of Butte, Mont, in New
York tomorrow. Mr.. Mantle, it is un'
derstood, may run for the United
States senate against Senator Thomas
H. Carter. He is q progressive re-
publican. Senator Carter is a regu-
lar.
Mr.. Mantle was in the senate from
1895 to 1899, but was beaten for the
s%enatorship in 1907 by Joseph NJ. Dix
on. 1t was said at the time that Col
onel Roosevelt has favored Dixon.
The colonel said tonight thu t he did
not have a hand in the contest, and
remarked that he had q high personal
regard for Mantle.

CONSUMER PAYS FREIGHT.

Much satisfaction has been ex
pressed in certain quarters bee ause of
the agreement reached by the packers
and the railro ads under which the lat.
ter are free to increase freight rates
on packing house products about IL
per cent. But what about the con.
sumner? Isn't he entitled to have some
thing to say on the subject? It may
seem very magnanimous on the part
Of the packers to accept an advance
in freight charges, but is anyone 50
foolish as to suppose they will foot
the bill? Nine times out OF ten 1t is
the consumer who will do 80 now,
says the Boston Commercial Bulle.
tin.
All that the agreement arrived at
by packers and railroads amounts to
is an arrangement whereby the former
acts as the agents Of the latter. An.
other advance of q cent or so q pound
in the price of meat is all that is
necessary. As long az the consump.
ton of meat is not reduced, the Swifts,
Armours, Cudahys and the rest will
continue to make the same profits as
before. But it is precisely because
the public is called upon to bear the
entire burden of the advance that the
increase should not be allowed to 60
into effect until it has received the
sanction of the interstate commerce
commission. Under the old law that
body represented the shippers. Under
the new law it will represent the vast
body of consumers, and we'll it may if

in the fight for higher freight rates in
cases where it is possible to make

Convict Labor On Roads.
Helena Record.


For more than two hours today the
state board of prison commissioners,
composed of Governor Norris, Secre.
tary of State Yoder and Attorney
General Galen, and q joint committee
representing the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor assembly and the Helena
Trades and Labor Assembly, dis
cussed the question of the use of con.
vict labor outside the prison walls.
The position Of the labor represen.
tatives "a that they are u~nalterably
opposed to the use of convict labor
outside the prison walls. while that Of
the board is that where counties are
unable to build roads for financial
reasons, and there is no other method
of securing construction, the board
for humanitarian reasons and for the
purpose of affording, the ~convicts
some activity, Is not averse to the
employment of convicts. No city
street work, however, is included in
the general plan, o any labor by
convicts which will come into competi.
ton with free labor.
The proposed state fair grounds
road was also discussed in all its
phases, during which 1t developed
that the board proposes no road work
here except upon grounds absolutely
owned in fee simple by the state and
that the work done thus far by the
convicts now here has been the re-
moval of brush and q dilapida ted
building on the right of way of the
highway. The city of Helena is to be
asked for no money to assist in the
building of the road, the necessary
materials being purchased with funds
raised by popular subscription. 1t is
estimated that 1t will require q month
and . half to complete the undertaking,
the road to extend from the fair
