THE BALKAN WAR.

s5E During the past week the war be-
tween the Balkan states and Turkey
has been prosecuted with great Wig
y Or by the allied forces. They have
attacked many Of the fortified cities
I and towns near the borders Of Ell,
ropean Turkey and have been uniform
~ successful The armies of the al
lies have suffered terrible losses in
/ their furious charges upon the forti.
fled portions held by the Turks, and
the Turks when defeated and obliged
10 retreat, have, 1t see1s, suffered ev-
en- greater losses than the attacking
armies, and have also lost great quar-
!. titles Of military stores. L"
This war is but another chapter in
the great conflict between Christian
~ and Mohammedanism which has
A lasted nearly 1900 years. Mohammed
dies in the year A. D. 632, aged 60
years. During HE life he establish
81 the Nohammedan religion and ex-
tended his authority over all Arabia
and other portions of Southwestern
Asia. His death cid not change the
militant character Of his followers.
For 100 years thereafter they. waged
wars OF conquest, not alone in Asia
but In Africa and Europe. At times
they met with reverses, but nothing
10 permanently check their westward
course until the battle Of Tours,
which was fought near the center
OF France In the year 1872. The fol
5 hwers q the prophet were success
full during the first days OF that great
battle, but On the last day a divi.
Aon a large Germans, armed witt
poaAeroHo battle axes, charged upor
!. the NohAmmedans and scattered the1
like leaves before the wind. In this
Invasion o. Europe the Mohammedank
passed around Greece. Macedonia and
the territory now embraced In the
Balkan states, but in their recoil
from Western Europe they overthrow
the Greeks and captured CONSTANT.
nople IN the year 1853, and since
then that city has been the chief
center Of Mohammedanism.
Before their overthrow by the
Turks, the Greeks occupied first
Dhcs IA literature and in the arts OF
peace ana wal. They were extreme
y patriotic and brave, and the des-
perate charges Of these allied armies
is 10 surprise to the students OF
history. These armies are descend
sats "a the ancient inhabitants OF
Sparta. Macedonia and Greece, and

rare deeds Of daring and valor IN
their attempt to recover from the
hated Turk the land Of their for-

Great Falls to Billings, the great
Judith Basin country is traversed
and here is where the greatest
progress is noted. Probably the
first experiments in the state
took place here and that is has
proven successful is shown by
the acres and acres of grain be-

addition, all of the UNEMPLOYED
mineral deposits are tied up by

correctly describes the immense
territory extending from the
headwaters of the Mississippi

northwest has everything to
make it great and needs only the
population and capital to develop

The population and capital will
surely be forthcoming. The diff
fculties that have been referred
to will be removed. The genius
of our own citizens and the fair
ness of the people elsewhere will
cooperate to that end. Then the
settlers will come to claim and
cultivate our lands and capital
will be furnished to build up our

favors with lavish hand upon the

rich and vast in extent and a
climate that is healthful and ia
vorable to production. 1t con-
tains all the minerals used in the
arts and trades, and bears on its
surface building materials suf-
ficient for all purposes, 1t has
great water courses to furnish
moisture for desert places, and
power for all industrial needs.
1t has everything necessary to
support a large and prosperous
population. Reason fails to grasp

MONTANA DIARIES
SCORE HIGH

Il
tined to become an important
factor in the states develop
ment is beyond question. At
the present time an organized
effort is being made to further
advance the industry, and the
following letter will show how it
is being brought about.
This letter is from C. S. Smith,
chairman of the committee on
dairy development in Montana
and is so truthful a portrayal of
actual conditions as to be of in
terest to all Pioneer readers:
''As you probably know, Mon
tana is a great dairy state. Last
year at the National Dairy show
six of Montana's local creameries
got honors by receiving a score
on it's butter of 80 or more points
out of a possible 100. This year
the farmers creamery located at
Stevensville received a score of
IS out of 100 points. This was
only 2 IL points below the high
est scoring butter at the National
show. This is another boost and
something Montana can be proud
of.
Some people interested in the
building up of the dairy industry
in Montana have formed what is
known as the COMMITTEE on
Dairy Development" l enclose
a copy of a bulletin which has
been published by this commit
tee, "A Message to All Inter-
ested in Diaries and Dairying. "
Will you not kindly call your
readers attention to this bulletin
so that they will be ready to read
it when it is sent to them.
Montana is a natural dairy
state, but before dairying will
progress much there must be
legislation that will encourage
the building of creameries and
then protect them. The agricul-
tural income of the state would
be increased millions of dollars
every year if such legislation
were provided.
Our farmers are shipping
grain and hay to eastern dairy
men and shipping their products
back. This should not be so. At
the present time there is no mar
ket for hay, while milk, butter
and cheese is soaring in price.
Oleomargerine is selling locally
at SOC per pound and there is no
market tor hay. Milk is retail
ing here for soc per gallon. One
ton of hay will produce so pounds
of butter and 40 gallons Of milk;
think of it! Something should
be done to stimulate this great
industry. Will you not kindly
call your readers attention tc
it,"

The Presidential Vote

The complete figures OF the
vote for president in Montana,
show that the total vote cast for
Wilson for president in the state
was less than the vote cast tor
Bryan four years previously.
Wilson's total is %, 230, while
the total for Bryan was %, 1876,
nearly LOO more. Bryan re-
ceived LOO more votes than
Wilson in Silver Bow county and
about 500 more each in Lewis
and Clark and Deer Lodge coun-
ties. The only counties which
cast larger vote for Wilson
than they cast for Bryan four
years ago were Custer, Dawson,
Fergus, Meagher, Rosebud, San
ders, Sweet Grass, Teton, Valley
and Yellowstone.
1t is not surprising that the
vote of Wilson should fall below
that of Bryan in this part of the
country, for no man approaches
Bryan in popularity in the west.
But the returns from other parts
of the country show that Wilson
has in many places failed to
reach the Bryan total. In New
York state Wilson'S vote is some
$1,000 less than that cast for
Bryan four years ago; in Mary
land it is about 10000 below; in
Delaware 1000. While returns
are not yet at hand from all
states, the official canvass having
been completed in but few, the
total vote for Wilson in the ma
ton seems likely to be less than
that cast for Bryan in any one of
his three campaigns for presi-
dent. The total vote for Bryan
four years ago was 6,4O9, 104,
which exceeded his total in 1900,
but falls below the vote cast for
him in 1896, of 1902, 925. which
is the highest total ever reached
by the democrats in a national
election.
The vote for Taft in Montana
was $4,000 less than the vote he
received in this state four years
ago and the vote for Roosevelt
was 10000 below the Tsft vote
of four years ago. The vote for
Taft and Roosevelt combined is
5000 greater than the Taft vote
in 1908. The vote for Debs in
the late election, as compared
with four years ago, has increas-
ed from $500 to 10, 800.
The figures indicate that if
Wilson received the full vote
of the democratic party, he could
not have received many repub-
lican votes. His victory cannot
be attributed to any accession Of
strength to the cause of democ-
racy, but solely and entirely to
the detection of Roosevelt and
the consequent division of the
republican vote of the country
into two nearly equal parts. -

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 Crowds pour
ing into the Atlantic venue station
OF the subway in Brooklyn a a
chance yesterday afternoon to see the
climax of a daring daylight holdup, the
pursuit and capture of an amateur
bandit who just missed getting away
with a package containing $4,000.
Harris Mann, who is a messenger
for the branch of the packing concern
of Swift & Company. at 102 Fort Green
place, left the office to put in the bank
50, 900 in certified checks and currency
of small denominations.
Mann, entering the subway, bought
his ticket and was turning toward he
chopping box, when a shabby young
man hit hin in the face. Mann was
stunned, but he didn't lose his grip on
the package. The holdup man tried to
wrench it away from the messenger,
but Mann chung desperately to his
package.
The holdup man, realizing his IAN
ger, let go his hold on the package and
turned to run back up the stairs. Then
Mann punched him in the jaw and
started the thief cry. Passersby
Joined in the chase. Presently 100 or
more were pursuing the near-robber.

ner just in time to grab the quarry.

welcome, take him into the parlor and
let him have the contest sea you can
find Ga seat with room for two is best).
