Horse Hatred.

OF all the domestic animals the horse
is probably the most gentle, but there
are exceptions. A California man had
in his stable a fine thoroughbred horse.
of which he made quite a pet. One day
he went into the stable, and, stopping
to pat his favorite steed, he was sur
prised when the horse, with a violent
plunge, broke the halter and came at
him with open mouth. At first he
thought it was in fun, but he soon
realized his mistake and hastily climb
ed up a ladder and yelled for help. On
the arrival Of his son the horse went
back to the stall and Immediately re-
sumed its former gentleness to all but
it's owner. To him it remained a dead
~ foe until he was compelled to sell 1t.
He never knew the reason for its sud.
den animosity.

Montana Grain Dealers Organize.

HELENA, Dec. THE production
of grain in Montana has grown to
such proportions n lat much of it must
seek terminal markets, which has nee.
essitated certain changes in its mar.
keting conditions. and this IL the
reason for the organization OF the
Montana Grain Dealers organization,
which held its first annual meeting
here today, according to a statement
prepared for the press. The meeting
was private.
The prediction was made that TIE
time is not far distant when Montana
will be producing 100, 600, 600 bushels
of grain annually and that it will be-
doubled when all the states agricul-
tural land has been put under the
the pillow. The statement continues:
"The primary object OF the associa.
ton is to encourage and cooperate
with the farmers In securing purer seed
and varieties of grain best adapted to
Montana's climate 1t was the con-
census of opinion that the develop
ment of the agricultural interests of
the state could best be served by 40
organization of this kind, co-operat-
ing with growers and dealers. The
discussion was general as to the most
economic methods of handling grain,
and also the general development of
the natural resources of the state.

May Abolish Assay Offices.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Unless the
sen ate reverses the action taken in the
house today, the assay offices at Salt
Lake City, Boise, Helena and Carson
City will be closed June 80 next. An
effort was made by western members
to secure appropriations to continue
these Offices for another fiscal year,
but they were voted down and 90 ap-
preparations made. While an effort
will be made in the senate to amend
the Legislative bill to provide for as
say Offices, it is believed the house
action will stand and the Offices will be

hoped q continuation of this endeavor

One of the things necessary to q c

WOULD BENEFIT sTocKMEN

The enactment of three measures for
the better protection and benefit of the
stock industry are recommended by
D. W. Raymond, secretary of the state
board of stock commissioners, in q
communication to the governor. One
is q law providing for inspection of
cattle moved from one county into
another; for q law defining the word
'~'estray," and providing for their dis.
position when found in the state, and
the third for a law requiring railroads
20 issue passes to the stock inspectors
In Montana. Mr. Raymond writes:
1.-THE statutes already require the in
spection of horses under these condi.
tions. Why cattle we're not included
! cannot understand. The necessity
OF this law is obvious, for the follow.
ing reasons: There is, in the present
day, a great deal of trading in cattle.
Bunches are moved back and forth
over the state as a~sresult of the sales.
There being no law requiring inspec-
ton for brands, stockmen In the
vicinity of the shipment have no as
a that all the cattle in the chip
ment rightfully belong there.
1.-THE cities in Montana are becom.
ing quite q factor in the consumption
Of beef. Representatives of local
slaughter houses buy cattle in all
parts of the state and ship them direct
TO the slaughtershouses without inspec.
ton. Here, again, gthes stockman has
not the proper protection.
ave have plenty of inspectors over
the state to look after these shipments,
but it is seldom that they know OF
euch shipments and the law permits
the railroad to accept such shipments
without inspection.
II suggest that a'law be enacted by
the next legislature, Sdeining 'estrays'
and providingsforIthe sale Of the same.
"Under the present laws of the state
of Montana there is no definition oil
az estray and there Is no law provid-
ing for the handling of such an animal
within the state. There is a statute
providing forsthe shipment of strays
to market points, such as Chicago,
etc., where the board maintains in.
spectors. We. are, therefore, enabled
TO handle strays by such shipments.
"In cases, however, when estrays
are found beyond the reach of the
1oundups and .in.Ethe densely settled
parts of Montana, it is nearly impos'
sible to arr range for shipment of suct
strays to the markets. The result IL
that this animalslives upon the oper
range or, through charity, some stock
man provides winter feed for him
There is no 'way, however, for thu
stockman tol gain any title to thu
animal; result being, that the ANNA
either dies of old age or Is sppro
pristed without authority. The result
OF this Ia that the owner never receives
any returns for the lanimsl nor doe
the state, in case theiownsr cannot b.
located. Such eanimsls are the pre-!
of stock rustlers.
"There areImanysdi6iculties In pass
ing q law providing for the sale o
estrays, and the Legislature should b
very careful that the law Is 80 safe
guarded that the! sale of strays will
not be abused"

PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS

The efforts to effect q reorganiza.
ton of the republican party should be
encouraged by each OF the elements
that have become sntagonistic. The
members of the newly organized pro-
gressive party are not opposed to the
policies that have heretofore been
followed by republican administra-
tions, their grievance relating largely
60 matters OF party management and
organization, and there should not be
serious difficulty in re-uniting the re.
publicans and progressives by mod
flying the methods to which objection
has been made.

members of each party to recognize

on good roads as he is upon his stock

that our people have lain dormant so
long on the subject of good roads.
1 rejoice to see that organized effort
is at work everywhere to improve our
roads. I favor the law which places
our convicts on the public roads, and,
if elected, it will be my aim and stand
to endeavor to establish laws so that
in time every county in the state shall
have it's roads in good condition and
in such condition as will BIO passable

Road building should be gone at
with view of developing not only the
accessible portions of each county, but
the inaccessible and remote as well,
and system must be devised by which
road work shall be justly apportioned
among all parts of the various coun-
ties.

done is to have as railroad commits
sioners men with an eye single to the
public good. In other words our rail-
road commission law is in every way
adequate for the public need, and the
question as to whether or not the pub
lie shall get the benefit of the COM
mission now becomes a mere question
of the commission administering its
powers wisely and justly.
The state of Georgia should be felici-
tated upon the harmonious relations
which now exist between labor and CAPT
tai. While the whole world seems to be
in trouble at this time upon questions
affecting labor and capital, Georgia is at
peace. This all represents that the ranks
of labor in Georgia are the very highest
type of laboring people. Among our best
citizens are those who belong to the
ranks of laoor, and our people have de-
lighted to honor them with many posi-
tons of trust.
It is now recognized that the very best
thing labor has done was to organize.
Organization of labor does not mean an
archy and lawlessness, but 1t means bet
torment of the laborer; it means that he
has organized not only for his protection,
but for his own betterment and the bet
torment of labor, and in order that he
may serve himself and employer and pub
lie better.
Our laws should be enforced, not with
severity, but with force and impartial
ity. Much complaint has been made that
a spirit of lawlessness is in the land,
and to some extent this complaint is
we'll founded. The pardoning power
should not be lightly exercised. The
governors office should not be a mere
court of last appeal from the trial and

The pardoning power should be used

remuneration for their services. 1

How She Fooled the Doctor

Three years ago my little girl An
gela, was taken sick with scarlet fever
and later dropsy set in; her face and
limbs swelled and her eyes pulled. A
leading physician here at the time,
treated her without the slightest sue
cess. A sample of your Swamp-Root
having been left at the houss at the
time, 1 resolved to try it, and as it
agreed with her stomach i continued
using il with grateful results. The in
fammation began to subside after she
had taken the first fifty-cent bottle, and
after she took two large bottles she was
pronounced cured by the doctor and has
been in good health ever since. The
doctor came to see her every day and
examined her every second day until he
pronounced her kidneys in perfect con-
dition.
Now then the doctor was under the
impression that / was giving my girl
his medicine, but as his medicine had
failed to do bit of good, and desiring
not to offend him, did not tell him /
was giving her Swamp-Root and he did
not know the difference. / did not use
one drop of his medicine after started
my girl on Swamp-Root, and have al
ways felt that DR.. <ilmer's Swamp-Root
saved my girls life, for which l am
grateful
I cannot praise it too highly.
