stead units of as nearly as possible
100 acres each, and the survey OF
each homestead unit was tied tc
one of the permanent monuments
along the Yahk base line. A trav.
erse line was then laid out on each
ridge or summit between tributary
streams and the land was cruised
in one-half mile strips back and
forth from the traverse lines on the
streams to the traverse lines on the
ridges.
Ten crews of two men each are
employed in cruising. In addition
to the transit crew, which has been
running the base line, four survey
crews, equipped with plane tables
and transits, have been engaged in
surveying the traverse lines from
the base lines.
The work of surveying, classify
ing and mapping this large part of
the forest has been handled entire
ly under the direction of the local
men. Duputy Forest Supervisor
Raymond has been in charge of
the work in the field. and the sue
cessful completion of the project is
largely due to his personal super
vision. The base line along the
Yahk river was surved by a crew
in charge of E. K. Barnum, who
executed the preliminary engineer
ing work for the Libby Waterworks
& Electric Light company. The
heads of the plane table and transit
survey crews running the traverse
lines were Forest Rangers Robert
St. Claire and Frank Bening, For
est Assistant Latane and B. P.
Thomas. Mr.. Latane and Ranger

Senator Dixon, who has returned
to Montana, in an interview in the
Missoulian, insurges like a regula-
ton insurgeut. He says the great,
overwhelming issue and the real
one is to restore representative gov
ernment to the people and take the
control away from the especial in
lerests' now dominating our polit-
zeal affairs; that no other thing in
our national life since tle slavery
question has so aroused the people
as the concentration of wealth, car
rylng with it control of legislative
and executive action through boss
rule in politics. He pointed out
that "the SYSTEM controlled Ore
gon politics until six years ago,
when the Oregon Primary Law
came into being and swept away
corporate control, and says that
Montana must and will adopt the
primary system. When Joe climbs

DID A NOTABLE
PIECE OF WORK.
Every Dollar Judiciously Ex-
pended on the Road and
Bridge Scheme is a Live One.

That was a notable piece of work
done by the county commissioners
at their recent session, when they
voted unanimously for the Pratt
resolution for submitting the ques-
ton of bonding the county for
$125,o 900 to the people, to get
money with which to build roads
and bridges in the county.
1t was notable first and princl-
pally for the intrinsic merit of the
movement for more and better
roads and bridges for all parts of
the county. For every dollar wise
ly and judiciously expended along
the lines suggested by the Pratt
resolution is live dollar that will
increase and multiply and be pro-
ductive for all the people of all
parts of the county.
There are two kinds of debts.
One where money is expended for
things, more or less needful and
useful to be sure, but so expended
that the outlay is a dead expense,
and will bring in no returns what
ever. The other where money
borrowed and expended is invested
in some live business that will be a
profit producer, over and above in
terest charges. OF this last kind is
the debt proposed to be incurred
for the bettering of our roads and
bridges. Good roads, afording
ready access to all parts of our
county, making possible the haul
ing of good loads or to travel at a
good rate of speed, are among the
best assets of any state or county.
All sorts of business at either end
of such highways, and along such
highways, will share in the advan-

ANOTHER WIDEAWAKE
BUSINESS MEETING
Libby Commercial Club Cuts
Out Line Of Work on Sew
eral Important Propositions.

1t was a rousing and we'll at
tended meeting in Plummer's hall
Monday night. The Commercial
club is organized and at work. II
has record already of big things
accomplished. and the regular com
mittees are all busy with live busi-
ness that goes to distinguish hust-
ling, growing place from dead
one.
The committees on transporta-
ton, agriculture, mining and ex-
hibits have their work cut out for
them in getting a fitting exhibit
prepared tor the fair at Eureka and
the state fair at Helena. This ex-
hibit will be credit to the city
and county.
A special committee, consisting
of President Gray and Secretary
Skeels, and Messrs. Booth, Pratt
and Faust, was appointed to inter
view the Anaconda Copper COM
pany, the Northern Pacific Railway
company and other speculative
holders of timber lands lying in the
valley adjacent to Libby, and inn
mediately across the river from
town. The object is to get them
to place about a thousand acres of
these holdings at once on the mar
ket, to be cleared and sold in small
acre tracts to actual settlers only,
so many of whom are inquiring for
just such lands and offering to paw
handsome prices for it.
We trust that these companies
will see the light properly and
place this land lying close in to
Libby on the market, as desired
Otherwise, the people here will
doubtless feel impelled to urge up
on the county officials the propriety

Restores Duty on Wheat

The provisional government of Mexico has ordered that the duty on flour and wheat be re- stored and the result was that every effort was made to clear every possible pound through the El Paso and Juarez custom houses.
 Sunday importations of wheat would have been impossible into Mexico, so cars, express wagons and everything that could haul wheat and four were pressed ln- to service. The work did not stop at nightfall but long after dark long string of wagons continued their way across the international bridge into Juarez.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness and that is by constitutional rem edies. Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucuous lin- ing of the Estachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the fnflmation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuous surfaces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of Deafness caused by ca tarrh that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

 Yuma is busy, up-to-date town. The more modern improvements consist of several blocks Of attractive brick buildings three-Story post of1ce building, also of brick, and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which are being made, are a s35, 900 school building, S75,O00 ice plant, fine club house for the railroad employees, larger passenger depot, and the probability of 6 new court house to cost s75 600. There is con- siderable business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast possibin ties Of the place. They should at once erect an up-to-date tourist hotel. It should have ample grounds around 1t and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere were only transportable like mineral waters, and one could send consignments of this Yuma winter air to the East, the inspiration of it's health-giving qualities would bring 25IOO0 tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo rado River.
 Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic attractions in the parts Of the East swept every year by bliZZardS and SnowStormS to attract city full every winter. The fertility of the val ley below will almost make itself known with out effort on the part of the people. But with a valley full of intelligent and industrious rural population, producing fruits and vegetables, poultry, eggs, fresh milk and fragrant butter, Yuma should be one of the most delightful winter resorts in all America. There is every thing there to furnish tourists with the most healthfnl and declictous food. and if the air In that region does not drive doctors to seek a living elsewhere it will be because the people do rot know how to live properly.
 The Laguna Dam will be completed in 1909, and in ten years from today the attractions of Yuma as a health resort and the fertility of these bottom lands will be so well known that it will require S1,OOo in cash to buy single acre of it.
