beautiful, and getting their letters
from the postofice where a former
president used to ask us there any
thing for Theodore Roosevelt?" are

worthless bad lands, but to transcribe

use of the new Golden Valley county
which was carved out of Billings and
which the train crossed today. The
work has taken three months and will
taxi two more, said J. D. Bryant, the
transcriber. The young women say
they do not care, for they are happy
n healthy and are storing experience
es in this county strange to them that
will fill several diaries. They. appre-

THE ~DEATHBED.

We watched her breathing through the
night, ..-. "A
Her breathing soft and low, F.. "
AS In her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
So slowly moved about, '
AS. we had lent her half our powers "
To exc her living out.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied-
thought her dying when she slept
And sleeping when she died.
For when h moon anne dim and sad,
And chill with early showers,
quiet eyelids closed-she had
Another morn than ours.

the presidents Of the eastern railroads,
issued statement tonight saying that 1t
was proposed shortly 90 hlc new tariffs
with the Interstate commerce commission
contemplating an increase of approxi-
matcly five per cent. in freight rates
"Thc fixing of the tariffs as now con-
templatcd does not in any sense indicate
friction between the railroads and the
commission, but quite the contrary" said
Mr.. Willard. ut indicates, if anything,
desire on the part of the railroads to
comply fully with the expressed wishes of
the commission and should hc 80 under
stood by the public. The tariffs to be
filed will very likely be suspended by the
commission until an inquiry of the whole
question can be conducted.'
