USE THE NEWSPAPER.
Good Advice to Farmers From
One of Their Number.

One of Their Number.
Now the first thing l would
advise the farmer to do is to
have the editor print for him
some envelopes to use in his cor
respondence, and probably some
letter-heads. 1t will cost but a
trifle more than to buy the pa
per and envelopes at the store
and maybe not so much. When
man gets a letter printed
neatly. on the paper, he con-
cludes that you are at least of
enough Importance to put your
name before the world so it can
be seen.
Then get familiar with the
editor as factor in selling your
stuff. If you give him Is ce IS
to run you a three line reader
in his paper, saying:
"Turnip Greens, Onions, Rad
ishes-Henry Jones will be in
town on Monday with turnip
green's, onions and radishes,"
you will have the people in the
residence streets informed of
your coming, and ready to buy
more quickly than if you argue
the question after you arrive.
If you ask them in the paper to
telephone an order to your
house before you start to town,
you may sell out all the stuff
you propose to take before you
have it on your wagon.
Tell the people through the
paper that your Klondike straw
berries will be ripe by Wednes-
day, and sell for Is cents a
quart. Tell them you have kill
ed a beef and will deliver some
desirable pieces of meat on a
certain date, at wholesale
prices, always naming the price.
Your paper will help you to
sell the cow that you do not find
a purchaser for among your
immediate neighbors. 1t will
locate a man who would take a
dozen of your eggs for setting
at a reasonable price, but who
does not know you have them
unless you tell him in the pa
per. The paper is merely a man
with bigger audience than YOU
can get yourself, and it tells the
story to all of them. 1t tells
what you want to tell, and it
tells it for very little COST

The Rag Time" Dance.

Somewhere (Gol help us, we
have lost the eXchange), i'm
Montenegro or Samarcand, Or
maybe it is Chicago, an associa-
tion or concatenation of pur-
blindprofessors of music are en-
deavoringing to suppress the
"rag-time" dance. Bravo! An
association which can dare
anything like that in the face
of the Bull Moose movement
deserves the right hand of fell
lowship.
The origin of music (Which
existed before rag-time) is in
volved in the mystery which
will ever obscure the begin
nlngs of man, it's creator.
What song the sirens sang"
has perpleXed many men since.
and possibly vexed innumer-
able men before, the days of
good Sir Thomas Browne. Pre-
sumably the burden of it, the
sweet soul-piercing strain"
which bewitched, like the fumes
of new wine, the soul of the
prudent Ulysses, was nothing
like the classical measures of
"Everybody's Doing 1t" or ooh,
You Great Big Beautiful Doll"
We are almost ashamed to
grow serious about the matter
Who cares anything about
music anyway? Who cares 1--WE
grow pessimistic) anything
about anything, any more? We
have been listening, as we have
tried to read, as we have tried
to reflect, to ponder, to think, to
do most any old thing, to the
pianist Of the bi-weekly dancing
school pounding out the mel
ancholy, the dismal, the utterly
nonsensical and assinine strains
of Il Don't Know How to Spell
It." May the good Lord deliver
us from it in the next world +

How Women Are Won.

"a ut amt looks that wins a
gal. It's what a guy can do,
what he can make good at, that
gets 'em."
This is a homely pugilist's ex-
planation of his winning a pret-
ty wife.
1t is the kicking aside of all
surface sentiment and stepping
directly back to first principles.
The biggest giant with the
biggest club among the ancient
cave men got his pick of the
cave girls.
The young Indian who could
shoot straightest, run swiftest
and bring home the most meat
never wanted for admiration
among the Indian maidens.
And time and civilization and
the thin convention of romance
with which we veneer our real
lives today have not worked any
great changes in the vital mo-
tives of either man or woman.
So, even today, the novel
hero who is merely las hand
some as Greek god" is not in
it, as against the "picturesquely
rough and rugged" whose
LONELINESS is accepted as indi-
cation of strength, courage and
inner worth fit for mastery in a
world of struggle.
Soft, melting eyes may be
nice for giggling girls to GOO
goo at, but the eyes that bore
through things are the ones
that reach the mind and the
soul of the woman worth while.

THE SOUTH WAKING UP

The South is making wonder
full progress but it has to wake
up in many respects. Our re-
sources as so many and so va
ried that it is difficult to find the
men and the capital to make it's
progress more rapid than dur
ing the past few years. We
cannot do everything at once,
but there are some things that
we should do without delay.
( lone is to utilize our raw ma
.erial at home and not send it
away to be manufactured and
returned to us as high-priced
finished products. We have
been sending away our cotton
seed meal and feed stuffs from
our cotton seed oil mills instead
of keeping them at home and
converting the South into the
greatest cattle and stock raising
country on the face of the globe.
We have often declared that we
should keep our feed stuffs at
home and turn them into meat,
butter and cheese. Our cotton
seed oil mills turn out the best
stock feed to be found in the
world, and yet we allow those
in cold countries in America and
Europe to use it and make us
their customers for the more
important finished products.
The Houston Chronicle tells
us that Texas is going to prac-
tice what The Star has preach
ed for years. Says that paper:
THE Panhandle and West
Texas stock raisers have taken
the entire output of cotton seed
cake from oil mills of northwest
Texas. They are going to feed
their stock with it," Good!
When North Carolina, and the
entire South, follows the lead of
those wise Texans we will not
buy our beef from Kansas City
and Chicago or butter from the
North and " st.
There are ONE things that
we ought to d. without waiting
any longer and one is to raise
stock and cattle in the country
that is best suited for it. That
is in the South, where the best
feed stuffs are produced, where
there are two forage producing
seasons, where grass grows two
to three months longer than
anywhere else, and where the
winters make it easier on stock
and cattle and more economical
for their keep and care.-Wil-
mington Star.

Makes Up Governments Losses
on Sample ImpOrtations.
Washington, March 12.-
John Wanamaker, the Phila-
delphia and New York mer-
chant, has paid to the govern
ment 100000 to settle sums of
which the treasury had been
defrauded during the last fif-
teen years through irregular
practices in the importation of
samples of merchandise.
Treasury agents working up
on the investigation were con
fronted with the difficulty of
finding records for the entire
time involved, but upon the
records of five years, the gov
ernment's losses were approx
mated and a settlement, vol
UNFAIRLY offered by Mr.. Wanna
maker was accepted as cover
ing the entire period over which
the practices extended.
1t was found that it had been
the practice of the customs ex-
aminers at Philadelphia to pass
samples at no value or an in
trinsic one. While the amount
in each case was negligible
compared to the volume of i'm
portations, in a period of years
it amounted to a considerable
sum.
At the treasury department
it was said yesterday that no
attempt to defraud the customs
had been shown and that Mr..
Wanamaker co-operated in
every way with the treasury
officials to reach an estimate of
the governments loss.

(From Minneapolis Journal of
May 9th, 1879
Washington, May 9th-Describ-
ing Arthur E. McFatridge as a per-
petual motion agent RobertJ. Ham
ilton, a Blackfoot Indian of Mon
tana today charged before the SEN
ate committee on Indian affairs that
McFatridge was unfit to hold his
Office on that reservation. Hamil-
ton alleges that he filed statements
that the Indians were in a destitute
condition, with Secretary Lane and
that an inspector was sent to the
Reservation to make an inspection.
The inspector was kept in the
office" declared Hamilton, and not
half of the people of the Reserva-
tion knew he was there. The in
terpreter that officlated while he
was there misinterpreted what was
told by the Indians and the report
that was sent to Washington show
ed that everything WAS lovely on
the Reservation. AS matter ot

For Relief of
Indian Tribes

Senator Myers has introduced
bills for the relief of certain tribes
of Indians in Montana and to with
draw from Yellowstone Park 1869
acres and restore it to public do
main. The land is on the north
side of the park and separated from
the park by the Yellowstone river.
The bill for the relief of Indians
provides as follows:
Jurisdiction is given the court of
claims with the right to appeal to
the U. S. sups seme court to consider
and determine all legal and equit-
able claims, if any, of the Blackfeet,
Blood, Piegan, Gros Ventre, River
Grow and Assinniboine nations or
tribes of Indians residing on the
Blackfoot, Fort Belknap or Fort
Peck Ineian reservations, against
the United States, and also any
legal or equitable defenses, set offs
or counter claims which the United
States may have against the Indians
and to enter judgement thereof.
All claims and defenses shall be
considered without regard to lapse
of time aud the final judgement and
satisfaction thereof shall be full
settlement of all claims of the In
dians against the United States in
so far as such claims have been con-
sidered by the courts. Suits shall
be begun by filing of petitions to be
verified by attorneys selected by
the Indians with approval by the
secretary of the interior. The In
dians shall be parties plaintiff and
the United States party defendant
and the suits shall on motion of
either party be advanced on the
dockets of the court of claims and
the U. S. supreme court. The pay
to be given the attorneys for the
Indians shall be determined by the
court of claims and paid out of any
sums found to ba due the Indians
The balance of the judgement shall
be placed in the U. S. treasury tC
the credit of the Indians and draw
interest at per cent year, which
interest shall, in the discretion Of
the interior secretary, be paid tc
the Indians or spent for their bene'
fit.

Nothing But
Complaining

Washington, May 9th-The ex-
preston was general today that fol-
lowing the testimony of the water
users of Montana at the water users
of Montana at the irrigation con-
ference before Secretary Lane, to
the effect that the settlers are gen.
orally dissatisfied with the results in
Montana, Secretary Lane may can
Gel the previous allotments for Mon
tana projects, aggregating about
twenty five million dollars, and
simply complete the present works.
Montana men said that the set
tiers were not making a success of
irrigation, especially on the pro-
jeets that are far from railway tran
sportation, and also because of the
seepage, the water running back on
the land in some instances, they
said the settlers were inclined to
give up the land. Another cause of
complaint was that the government
was slow in completing the projects
that the settlers have been worn out
of patience waiting for water to be
turned into the land.
The consensus of opinion was
that the settlers were making moth
ing out of irrigation and would not
unless the government hurried the
completion of the projects.
In some quarters it is surmised
that as the Montana men are knock
ing their own projects Secretary
Lane is not inclined to allow fur
ther expenditures on them but may
cancel previous allotments, as he
has announced that he will go be-
hind the action of his predecessor
and treat each project as an origin
al proposition coming before him.
Complaint was made that there
too many reclamation employees
walking out in the cool of the even
ing to play tennis to suit the set
tiers. Complaints of the cost of IT.
rigation on the Montana govern.
ment projects induced an inquiry
by Secretary Lane as to the advisa.
bility of extending the government
operations. Senator Walsh pointed
out that privately-owned projects
were conducted factorily and
said he thought the government
ought to proceed to save the settlers
the profit the private enterprises
were making.

STANDS A
GOOD CHANCE
A. E. Allison Says Walsh
And Stout Are
With Us

A. Z. Allison, who return
ed from Washington, d. c.,
Tuesday evening, is of the
opinion that Cut Bank stands
good show to secure a land
office a little later, altho the
argument that since thebusi-
ness in the Kalispell district
is very light and since the
Government has appropriat-
ed for a federal building, to
house the land office and 9TH
er federal offices in the Flat
head metropolis, gave some
weight to its claims and de-
mands, especially with the
members west of the range.
"Our Montana representa-
tives are making an impress
at Washington said Mr.. AL
lison to the Pioneer Press.
They are up to their ears in
work, but are very cordial
and anYiOus TO hear from the
people of their state and do
everything possible to adj
vance the interests of their
state. Tom Stout is one of
the leaders among the young
frst-termers and is u e ly
destined to make a name for
himself at the capital. Of
course Senator Walsh stands
high among his colleagues.
We who know Walsh aren't
surprised to learn this. Sen.
Myers is very we'll thought
of and stands we'll with the
administration.
Mr.. Allison stated that the
big patronage matters were
being held in abeyance until
the passage of the tariff bill.
Fred Dennet is still commis-
missioner Of the general land
office and until his successor
lis chosen not much of import
ance will be done. He met
and conversed with Secre-
tary Lane, Com. Dennet and
iSpeaker Clark, and all were
very friendly and listened at
tentatively to his message.
Messrs. Walsh ann Stout gave
him good assurance that they
would Work energetically in
Cut Banks behalf as soon as

was chosen.
