JUST A FEW
CENTS SHY

The Judith Gap postotlice came
within $l.S2 Of becoming a third class
Office.
The governments fiscal year ends
the first of each July, and the desig-
nation OF classes an Office is to enjoy
the following year depends upon re-
ceipts from the sale of stamps and EN-
velops, and the rentals from boxes.
e Judith Gap is fourth class office
and the postmaster gets all the re-
ceipts up to $1,000. If the receipts
run over that amount, the depart
ment designates the Office third class,
and the postmaster is placed OH sal
ary and is allowed office rent and
clerk hire.
After the day had lapsed for max
ing out his report, Postmaster Haynes
discovered that his years receipts
amounted to s99S.1S or s1.s2 below
the limit, and Judith Gap, in conse-
quence, will have to struggle along
for another year as IL fourth class
postOflice.

BURGLARS STEAL
CASH And SAFE

Word has been received in the city
of Il daring burglary which took
place in Stanford Friday morning in
which All iron safe was carried off by
the burglars. who after moving the
safe into the country couple of
miles, blew it open with dynamite
and decamped with the contents.
Sometime between midnight and
daylight of that morning the burglars
backed u wagon up to the building
occupied by the saloon OF Phil Cop
pedge. wheeled out the iron safe,
which ut that time contained about
$500 in cash, loaded 1t into the wagon
and drove off over the prairie to point
about two miles distant and remote
from any house where they proceeded
to crack the safe.
The burglary was not detected until
the saloon was opened Friday mOrn-
ing. The tracks of the wagon were
plainly visible and they were follow
ell to the place where the demolished
safe was found. 1t is the belief of
the authorities that three men were
implicated in the burglary as upon
the same morning u stranger who had
just arrived in the town ili his wagon.
WAS held up by three men and robbed
OF Is cents. So far no arrests have
been made.

SURVEYORS SOUTH
OF THE SNOWIES

People in from the Swimming Wo-
man country this week report Il large
crew of surveyors in that territory,
working west. 1t is presumed that
the surveyors are laying out route
for the Northern Pacific, which will
build from Glendive to Judith Gap
within the next two years, making u
short line to to the coast.
The Railway Journal published in
Chicago. the official organ Of all the
railway interests of the United
States, has this to say Of the Mondak-
Helena cutoff: "President Hill, of
the Great Northern is quoted as say
ing that there is Il probability that
construction work on the proposed
Mondak- Helena cutoff will begin
this year. This cutoff would be via
Judith Gap, Mont
1t can reasonably be expected
that the town Of Judith Gap will take
squirt soon that will mean rapid and
substantial growth. The town has
never had boom, and is at the pres
ent time far behind in size what the
development of the surrounding
country would warrant. But it is
better that way than to be overb0om-
ed, AS many OF the towns i'll this sec
tion OF the country are at the present
time.
There will be something stirring in
Judith Gap before many moons.

This fact is learned upon very high
authority by The News. The right Of

INDUSTRIAL PEACE.

One Of the practical means by
which organized labor has help
ed to promote industrial peace is
through long term trade agree
ments in the better organized
trades. That device originated
with the labor union. While it
may be true that the interest OF
the employer prompts him to
seek agreements for Il long term
and the interest of the employee
makes him prefer short term
agreement. and while this fact
may occasionally lead to dis
putes. vet in general the system
has worked well and to the sat
isfactiun Of both sides. as may
be seen in the various branches
Of the printing and building
trades and in the cigarmakers'
union. In my opinion the gen
eral prospects for Industrial
peace in this country are good
do not think we shall see an
increase in the number of
strikes. because SO many influ

COMPARISON
WITH CANADA

l. n. Walker. of Great Falls, writ
ing to the Minneapolis Journal makes
an interesting comparison between
the opportunities for settlers in Cana
da and on this side Of the line, Mr..
Walker says:
Having been regular subscriber
and reader of your paper for some
years past. note with much interest
al article we'll written OH the Oppor-
tunites there are in the Canadian
northwest. In your issue of Septem-
Der 10, headed Emigration Tide Is
Toward Canada-GOvernment spends
Three Millions to Induce Men and
Money to Leave the United States
Homesteading Much Easier in Cana
da Than in the United States Any
person. man or woman. who is the
head OF family, or any unmarried
person, man or woman, who Is Is
years old, may take up Il quarter Sec
tion of land. Now, having lived in
Alberta for five years up till four
years ago, since which time | have
lived in Montana, and being well post
ed on the homestead laws, both on
the Canadian side as well as this,
claim the writer is utterly wrong on
this assertion, as the facts are Just
reversed from his claim-namely, Il
woman not being the head of Il fami-
ly, cannot take up land Oh the Cana
dian side, while they can on this side
ali that is required Of them is that
they be Of age. Again, one can prove
up OH land this side by committing ut
ii months if they wish, while they
cannot do so on the Canadian side, so
wherein can you show that it is east
er to take up lands and prove them
up Oh the Canadian side than on this
side:
"As proof of this inclose you Il
marked copy OF the Canadian home
stead laws. The writer of that article
failed to state that Il farmer has to
pay $ls3 to 500 for an eight-foot cut
binder, while on this side III the Da-
kotas or Montana they will sell for
$3.50 to $3.50. They fail to tell you
that all machinery sells about on the
same proportions. They fail to tell
you that Kerosene sells for around 22
to - cents. In figuring up the emf
grants going from here to Canada,
they fail to say how many have come
from Canada to these United States
during that same period. In the past
three years our land Office alone has
made some 22,O0O filings.
81 know personally IA great many
OF this number are people who came
from across the line, and they are
still coming. Now why all this if
things are so rosy on the Canadian
side? Three millions being spent by
the Canadian government to induce
people from this side t. locate across
the line. all of which is pretty true,
but ii this government spent One-halt

lands, was in Windham Saturday and

tor Of the Judith Gap journal. has
sold thousands of acres of land on
which are now some of our very best
ranches. We often hear corporations
denounced for being avaricious, but
the company that :. j. Small repre-
sents have certainly given every man
they have dealt with the best end OF
the bargain, for as II matter Of fact
they have sold land which was 50 pro-
ductive that the purchaser raised
more than enough to pay for the land
with the first years crop. This is go
ing some, but 'tis true nevertheless. -
