The most important Asuggestions
received, which are we'll worth con-

"Tax unused land heavily so
that it must be sold to the man
who wants to cultivate it and
make a home
"Cut up the big farms into
smaller ones with families on every

Soon Start on 2-Story Brick

The news given in this paper
last week that J. NJ. Blackford
would erect a new brick business
block on the corner of Mineral

firmed On Monday last when the
transfer of the property, owned by
the Presbyterian church, was made.
The two lots and small frame

already having plans drawn for the
new building, which will be two

MANY ACRES OF
UNSURVEYED LAND
Lincoln County Has Over 100000 Of Which 100000
Belong to Northern Pacific, All Untaxed.

There are in Lincoln county ap-
proXlmately ,ooo,ooo acres of un-
surveyed land. Of this amount
about 400, 900 acres are in the forty
mile limit of the Northern Pacific
land grants-in the proximity of
the same amount in the 10. mile in
demnity strip. In round numbers
there are 300, 900 acres of unsur-
veyed land which is railroad land.
This land is not taxed until after it
is surveyed.
1t would seem that the people Of
Lincoln county should awake to
the situation and endeavor to have
these lands surveyed. It would
work two-fold benefit. First and
foremost, it would add 81 900, 900
to our taxable wealth and compel
the railroad company to bear its
proportionate burden of taxation
second, it would enable bona fde
settlers to secure title to their
lands.
There is no reason that can be
urged which will justify the large
amount of land being untaxed. The
railroad company claims the land
and it should be surveyed and
placed on the roll. The Northern
Pacific has by evasion and under
valuation of lands defeated the

as it should be permitted to do so.

Put the producer into one great

"Have hot and cold water in the

These suggestions may not all
be possible at once, but are worthy
of serious thought in the develop

NO MORE "PICKETlNC" BY UNIONS.

On Monday last the supreme
court of Montana handed down a
decision affecting labor unions,
which is the most important yet
given in regard to such organiza-
tions in this state. The decision
declares unlawful the stationing of
men before place and interfering
in any way with its patrons, sys-

moving actively to secure the SUR
vey of all its public domain, so that
the taxdodging of the land grant
strip shall be put an end to.
Is 1t not about time that Mon
tana and especially Lincoln and
Flathead counties Join in the move
ment that will result in Justice to
the settlerso We recognize the
right of the Northern Pacific to the
lands included in the grant, but we
deny the right of the Northern Pa
cltlc to either dodge taxes or to
withhold the lands from bona fde
settlers.
The Herald opposes useless agi-
tation of the business interests Of
the country, but favors the discus
sion OF every question that will
bring practical relief to the people,
Granting every concession to the
railroads land holdings that is fair,
the people are entitled to demand
of the Northern Pacific equal and
just dealings.
The land grant is increasing in
value every year at the public ex-
peuse and TO the ever increasing
burdens of the actual settlers. Shall
we continue to remain silent and
SEE injustice prevail? or shall the
people demand that to which they
are entitled? The Herald proposes
to do its part. Will the people and
the press aid in the work?

Advertising Montana in NY.

Of the recent land show held in
New York City, a western repre-
sentative writes:
especial attention was called to
our exhibits owing to the remarka-
bic fact that, in competition with all
other states of the Union, together
with the various provinces of Can
ada, we succeeded in capturing four
of the ten big prizes for the best
products of the soil-those for oats,
barley, winter wheat and alfalfa.
''It is needless to say that the

Of our soil and the quality of our

LAND CONTEST
CASE HEARD
Government Seeks to Upset
Two Claims Near Troy, but
Case Seems Weak.

A land contest case was heard in
U. S. Commissioner Posten's court
Yesterday, involving a tract of land
on Star creek, below Troy. This
land was proved up on by Jeremiah
and John D. Downey under the
homestead communication law, and
was later purchased by the Bonners
Ferry Lumber company. The gov
ernment sought to cancel rights of
claimants to land and introduced
four witnesses, two of whom were
from the forest service. The for
estry witnesses testified that they
had recommended that the govern
ment suit be dismissed and the two
others gave testimony rather favor
ing the defense. So weak was the
case considered by the defense that
they decided not to put on any wit
uesses, although they had num-
Der present.
This case seems like if the land
had been sold to an individual in
stead of to lumber company, it
would have scarcely received pass
ing notice. Some sleuths of the
government probably feel they have
10 make showing with the de-
dartment and the results of their
activity in many cases seem more
like persecution than desire to
prevent land frauds,
