Dies MONIES, L., May 1.-Declar.
ing that the outlook never was brighter

ty and that the party had exceeded the

that 1t was q united majority battling

He also stated that the success OF
the democrats in the senate was great.

FOREST RESERVES.

The decision rendered by the gu
preme court q few days ago, In Colo
RADIO suits brought to determine tn
status of forest reserves, Is OF interes'
to q large number of residents of west
ern states. The authority under which
these reserves were created was ques'
toned, but the court decided In favor
of the government. The power of tht
secretary of agriculture to regulate
the grazing of livestock on forest re
serves was sustained.
While northern Montana is not af.
fected to q large extent by the fores'
reserve proposition, it is quite q seri'
ous problem ia some other parts OF
this state. In northwestern Montana,
for instance, forest reserves cover the
greater portion of the country.
The biennial report OF the Montana
bureau of agriculture, labor and In.
dustrv, just published, contains inter.
esting information in regard to forest
reserves in the state. 1t seems that
the total area of the state contained
in national forest reserves lie 20, 3S9, 500
acres, which is more than one.ffth OF
the total area Of the state. These have
been laid out arbitrarily without con-
sultatiOn with the state authorities
and with no regard to the wishes of
the residents of the communities neal
est to them.
The opinion prevails in Montana,
according to the commissioner, that
the national forests, as now consti-
tuted, contain much land valuable for
fruit growing and farming whose with.
drawal from the public domain has
blocked the development of localities.
For instance, 68 per cent. of the total
area Of Flathead county lies within
forest reserves, and 80 per cent. of
Lincoln county is 10 such reserves.
1t is claimed that the development of
the state is being hampered by making
it the field Of experiment for the fanci.
full ideas of theorists who live in east
ern cities.
The founders and builders of the
great states lying west of the Ohio
river were not held back by bureaucra.
tic control from Washington from ex.
ploring and settling upon any part Of
the great public domain to which the
Indian title had been extinguished,
while Montana Is confronted with the
fact th at more than one-ifth of its area
is practically taken away from it.

SETTLERS GET WATER.
Lower Yellowstone Project Will Soon
Be In Operation.

Lower owSton Project Will Soon
Be In Operation.
WASHINGTON, May l.-Secretarv
Fisher tonight notified Senator Dixon
that he had decided to grant the con.
cessions asked by settlers on the Lower
Yellowstone irrigation project, Mon.
tana. and will permit them to have
water for irrigation this season if they
will agree to pay Is cents per acre on
or before May "a, aud 1.25 per acre
additional in December. He also
agreed to graduate payments for the
next two years 90 as to en- liable settlers
to get on their feet. Settlers will be
required to pay 81 SO per acre in De.
cember, 1912, q per acre in 1913, and
thereafter %. SO yer year, until a total
Of s45 per acre has been paid.
Secretary Fisher, after q conference
with the attorney general, imposes one
condition, that 80 per cent of the land
owners on the Lower Yellowstone pro-
ject, on or before May "a mus.
pledge themselves to make payments
as above stated, or else this relief can.
not be granted to any. From the
conference which he had with settlers
when in Montana recently, Senator
Dixon predicts that more than 80 per
cent of the settlers will meet this
agreement in the time specified, for
they are generally desirous OF having
water this season.
Senator Dixon says Secretary Fisher
has granted everything the settlers
asked, and be is thoroughly pleased
ut the outcome Of his negotiations
with the department.

AS OTHERS e U.s..

The latest news from Butte, Mont,
is that the town has elected q socialist
mayor and council. OF course every.
body knew that Butte would eventually
do something. but nobody could
exactly forecast what direction it's
activity would take. Its record didn't
exactly justify differences, says the
Chicago 1nter.Ocean.
When Butte first came into real pub.
lie notice it was the producer and
sponsor of the early experiences OF
Mary MacLane. Mary MacLane
lasted Butte for q long time. 1t was
seemingly content to rest on its
laurels.
And then came whispers in travel.
ing dramatic circles that Butte had
turned its attention to other things.
The manager of q road show first re.
vealed Butte's later activity to the
writer of these lines. He affirmed,
with tears in his eyes that it was al
most impossible to get through Butte
with a good looking chorus, 80 prone
were leading citizens of Butte to de-.
tain the ladies o. their wives.
Why this should be he did not pre-.
tend to state. Perhaps the scarcity of
women in the town accounted for it.
Perhaps the metropolitan glamour OF
the travelling chorus ladies was what
led the heart of Butte's leading citi.
zens captive. But he vas sure of the
main facts. A show that wanted to
keep a good looking chorus simply
had to skip Butte.
What Butte did to keep up its In
terror excitement and outside reputa-
ton Immediately after the leading cit.
liens quit riding the road shows OF
their fairest flowers does not exactly
appear on the record. However, it i:
safe to say that Butte vas not idle,
The echoes may not have reached
quite so far as Chicago, but tn at there

And now here Butte is a gain-righ'

IN AGRICULTURAL MONTANA,

Montana was born in 1864 OF sturdy,
robust western stock. There wasn't
much ado over the event because there
weren't many people interested in it.
The mother, Mrs. Idaho, SOC real.
lied that she wasn't as large as her
buxom daughter, but she went along
about her business, and after q few
years forgot all about Montana, so
busily was she engaged ia shaping her
own destiny.
Meanwhile young Montana grew
and attr acted the attention of men in
the east. She invited them to come
and partake of her bounty and they
came-they came over the Walla
Walla, the Bozeman, the Boise and
other trails aud up the Missouri river
to pay their respects to the promising
debutante.
While yet 10 her %swaddling buds
and denim rompers, Montana yielded
to the argonauts millions of the vel.
low dust that allures men to the farth'
est cOrne Of the earth. Her stores
of precious metals seemed to be mex
haustible, and 80 the pilgrims contin'
ued to brave the danger of the long
overland journey in the hope o
cleaning the golden sheaves that lay
beneath the greensward.
For years the bull train aud thu
mule train wendell their tedious way
over mountains aud across valleys
carrying supplies to the pioneers,
There was nc thought of q more rapit
system of transportation-so long al
the people got all they wanted to ca
and wear they were content. Th,
aristocratic passenger stage coacl
with its natty driver, its champinf
steeds. it's big boots and its canvaI
curtains was welcomed in the genuine
western spirit-the arrival of the coacl
with the mails and passengers was q,
event.
The majority Of the people in the
states regarded Montana with express
sions Of awe mingled with compass
sion for the misguided souls wht
made up It's population. Who In New
England thought Montana would eve,
be more than q wilderness, an out
post. q neglected frontier? There ar,
in this state today men who, As years
ago. frowned upon the suggestion tina
Montana was worth while as q HON,
place. But time and experience have
wrought the most marvellous O
changes.
The conquest in the placer gulches
led men on to campaigns in Other
fields of endeavor, with the result,
that gold lodges were discovered
Stamp mills doomed in many districts.
From the gold vein to the silver lodes

mills were erected.

HOLDS MONCURE'S
ASSISTANTS
Three Defendants Held In $1,000
Bail Each.
VICTIM ON THE STAND.

Excitement ran high atRockville, Nd,
Thursday, when Police Judge Reading
decided to hold Peyton Whalen, former
deputy sheriff; Joseph Whalen, his
brother, and Joshua Offutt, prominent
farmer, for the grand jury for an al
legged assault on r. c. l.. Moncure, the
Virginia lawyer, about a week ago.
The men we're given preliminary
hearing, which lasted several hours.
Judge Readings decision to raise the
bail of the defendants from $500 TO ST.
900 was greeted with cheers.
Accompanied by his father, DR.. Mon
cure. of Fairfax {. H., Va; his broth
er. Frank Moncure, and his law part
ners, Morris Wampler and VIM. Cloth,
Attorney Moncure, the injured man,
who has been confined to his bed since
the assault, arrived at Rockville short
w before noon. His head and face were
swathed in bandages. Mr.. Moncure
was literally carried to the Montgomery
Hotel, and later TO the courtroom.
States Attorney Waters, assisted by
Attorneys Wampler and Cloth, appear
ed for the prosecution, while Messrs.
Garrett and Bogley represented the
defendants.
Joshua Offutt was placed on the wit
ness stand first. On the conclusion Of
his testimony, Judge Reading announ-
ced that he felt no hesitancy in holding
the three defendants.
81 consider this a heartless and out
rageous offense," said the court. " lie
was about to continue when cheers from
the crowds in the courtroom interrupt
ed him. Order was restored, and the
Judge completed his remarks.
Witnesses for both the State and the
defense declared that Joseph Whalen
was the instigator Of the trouble.
They testified that several times during
the will case, in which Attorney Mon
cure appeared for the plaintiff, and
which was the cause of the assault
Joseph Whalen had announced his in
tention of beating Moncure.
Mrs. Rose Bradley, a sister OF Joshua
Offutt, testified that she heard PeytOn
Whalen say he would fix the lawyer
who questioned his brothers veraclty
in the will case. Both Whalen and Of
futt denied all threats attributed them.
MIR. Moncure testified that he had
been seriously injured by the three de-
PENDANTS. He said his nose was broken,
an eyeball cut, and that he was kicked
on the head. He said that he was still
weak, and suffered with fainting spells.
He also said that the specialist who Is
treating his eye feared he might lose
the sight of it.
