Would Euualize Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-A joint
resolution-''to equalize benefits Of
reciprocity between agricultural and
manufacturing sections of the coun-
try" and requesting the president to
open negotiations with Canada to Sc
cure q supplemental reciprocity con.
tract-was introduced in the house Of
representatives by Representative
Prouty OF Iowa today.
1t would place on the free list all
meats and packers products, wheat
-four, rye, oatmeal, farm implements,
farm engines and other machinery,
cutlery and lumber products.

l1:0o o'clock. The register showed $50
names and we were obliged to close a
portion of the time in order to handle
the crowd. The principal interest was
in Montana homesteads. This has been
one of the largest crowds we have had
where we stopped two days. The people
were simply carried away with what
they saw in the car. The educational
work that we have done here will GER
tainly bear fruit in the neal future"
Any number of reports similar to the
above are on file, we understand, in Mr..
Leedy's Office in st. Paul, which show
in a measure what we, the people of
the great West, may expect in the way
Of new settlers during this spring. W.
should make ready to welcome these
new corners and to extend to them every
help in getting located.

No doubt if the comparative figures
could be secured which would show the
actual number of settlers secured as
against the number of inquiries brought
out by the Exhibition Cars this data
would be interesting reading, and would
show conclusively the great value of the
idea of taking the Northwest to the
People of the East" if our territory is to
be colonized quickly.
An idea Of the interest created by the
arrival of the Great Northern Railways
Exhibition Cars in the different Eastern
towns can only be gained by the read
ing Of the reports from the attendants
in charge. In the majority of places
visited nearly the entire adult popula-
ton has turned out, as well as farmers
from fifteen to twenty miles distant, to

Senator Stone Suspects Trickery.

Senator Stone Suspects Trickery.
WASHINGTON, April 1l.-Senat o
Stone of Missouri, who was at the
White house today, declared that ir
his opinion the repeated efforts to
connect Japan with the movement o.
American troops to the Texas border
was done for some unholy purpose.
Persistent reports of q war between
the United States and Japan have
been circulated for years, said Sens
tor Stone, for the apparent purpose o.
encouraging q strong naval policy by
the government. I would not be sur
prised if the present talk connecting
Japan and Mexico was inspired by
the same powerful source as was the
talk in the past.

DIRECT ELECTIONS
Senator Dixon Urges Adoption Of
Direct Primary.

EN- suIu0Tys
M1ssoULA, April Ex-senator Jos.
M. Dixon arrived this afternoon from
eastern Montana, where be had held a
conference with settlers In the lower
Yellowstone valley concerning irriga-
ton difficulties. Mr.. Dixon said this
afternoon that he thought the dispute
could be adjusted.
Mr.. Dixon says that he iran away
from SCHOOL" to meet Mr.. Roosevelt.
In an interview he said: ~ think the
action of the q ate in re.seating Lori.
mer has accentu ated the popular de-
mand for the direct election Of United
States senators. I am sorry Montana
is tagging behind every other state in
the matter of direct legislation that
would give the people the right to
choose their representatives in the up.
per house Of congress-.
"Governor Norris has the greatest
opportunity of his life to follow in
Woodrow Wilson's steps and convene
the legislature, thus putting the ques-
ton of direct elections squarely up to
the legislature SO that the people
would know who is and who is not re.
sponsible for the defeat of the measure.
The cost is a mere bag atelle compared
with the tremendous public good that
would follow.

has called the special session of con.
gress, every congressman west of the
Mississippi river, except those from
Washington and two from Minneapo-
lis and St. Paul, is absolutely opposed
to the bill al it now stands. These
congressman feel, without regard to
politics, that the passage of the bill
would mean q great injustice to the
farmers of the western states"

q COST OF LIVING.

In q recent. address which related to
the question of reciprocity, Sen ator
McCumber Of North Dakota resorted
TO an odd way of presenting q series of
facts which he deemed pertinent. He
declared that city people indulge in
wanton extrav agence.
When q farmer goes the city, the
senator said, some Of the expenses he
incurs run like this: For q cab to the
hotel he pave six bushels of wheat, and
his tip to the driver costs him fifteen
cabbages. His breakfast costs him
three-fourths of q ton of hay, and his
tip to the waiter two bushels OF pc.
tatoes. For luncheon be spends one
sheep and for dinner four bushels of
rye, while the room he occupies costs
half q carload of turnips and his din
ner tip to the waiter one bushel of
onions.
1t ia an amusing calculation, but it
is not in accordance with the actual
financing of a farmers day in town
except it be q Dakota farmer, and at
that he must be one who ia In town
for q big time, sc catering his crops like
q drunken sailor. Senator McCumber
does not say how many acres of oats
his farmer constituent, passing q day
In the city, distributes In the saloons.
Your farmer who rides from the rail-
way station to the hotel-if he rides
at all-in q cab that costs about two
dollars and Atty cents for the trip and
who buys q breakfast at anywhere
from four to elk dollars is q rare one,
we fancy, even in either of the Da-
kotas. If this farmer was in town any
day between last Thanksgiving and
Washington's birthday of this year
and If he handed the elevator boy two
dozen eggs, he gave the aforesaid boy
just about one dollar and twenty cents;
farmers aren't doing that sort OF
thing.
Last year, after harvest time and
we'll along in the winter, timothy hay
was worth, In the stack, on Montana
farms, about twelve dollars q ton, and
clover was selling for nine dollars or
better. Prices are lower now, to be
sure, but now Ia the time when the far
mer cannot tarry In the city anyhow
he must be diligent with the spring
work. The Dakota senator's idea of
presenting costs of living through the
primitive barter process Is entertain
ing, but his price lists and his arith-
metic are radically w~rong-unless 1t
be that where he lives they have pro-
duce prices on which the Montana far.
mer would certainly starve to death,

TO AMEND LAND LAWS.

Important changes in the methods
of disposing of the public domain are
contemplated in bills introduced in
congress by Representative Lafferty,
of Oregon, a new member who was
formerly q special agent OF the land
Office. The measures may fail OF
enactment, but their author believes
the changed conditions call for a re-
vision of existing statutes.
The most radical OF the Lafferty
bills proposes to amend the 32O-acre
homestead act and in . way make it
applicable to all unreserved non.irri.
gable agricultural public lands. In
effect, this bill amends the general
homestead law by permitting entries
OF 320 acres instead of 100 acres, as at
present. Moreover, it provides that
non.irrigable agricultural lands may
be entered wherever found without
having been segregated and designa-
mated for entry by the secretary OF
the interior.
Representative Lafferty, in explain.
ing the purpose of this bill, points
out that the rea of the public do.
main has passed to priv ate ownership
or has been reserved by the govern.
ment. What remains is for the most
part second grade land, and often 100
acres are not enough to support a
family. There are thousand of peo'
pie, however, anxious to establish
homes in the west, and Mr.. Lafferty
is Of the opinion that II the homestead
area is increased to 800 acres, the
next two or three years will witness an
unprecedented rush for the non.irri'
gable areas that remain open to en-
try.
Another messure seeks to amend
the Communication clause Of the home
stead act by inserting q provision
that the rights of the committing
h~omesteader to the lands entered shall
not be prejudiced by proof that he in
tended Offering Communication proof q
the time or priorJto the time OF dlina
his homestead application. Unde,
recent rulings of the interior depart
ment application for communication hat
only been allowed when the idea o.
committing occurred to the entrymar
after he had initiated his entry.
It 10 the contention of Represents
tive Lafferty that the timber and stone
act, az It IL now enforced by the In
terror department, is q dead letter,
He has, therefore, drawn q bill in
tended to make that law once more
operative. It re.enacts the provisions
OF the original timber and stone act,

 FOR ULTIMATE RECOVERY.
John Kaufman, ii Years of Age, Hoped on Wagon to ce. Ride and Fell Elder the Rear
 Wheels.

John Kaufman an 11-year old child who resides at the end of Malvern avenue near the Dobry Farm, was run over ant perhaps fatally injured early last evening by Murray nov ing vail.
 The accident took place near the end of the Malvern car line. The weight which passed over the boys body is believed to have been one ton or 2,O00 pocpds.
 Dr. J, P. RsNdolph was hurriedly summoned and attended the in- jured youth, who received aside from external bruises, some internal wounds which may prove fatal.
 1t was stated by nearby persons that the boy ran out and "hopped' on the large wagon, and that later the driver turned and told him to get off, and in getting off the boy fell and slipped under the wagon, the rear wheels running over his body. The wheel passed directly over the boys hips and lower spine. He was taken where he could receive medical attention, and his suffering was temporarily eased, but he is be- lieved to be seriously, if not fatally Injured.
