OFFICIAL PAPER OF cnoUTEAU COUNTY
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. II, 1918.
THE NEXT HALF CENTURY

The recent meeting Of Montana pio-
neers suggested to the Muscular a
review of the Development of the
Treasure state during the past fifty
years, and a forecast of the progress
that will follow.
From 1863 to 1913, the fifty years
have been fraught with great and STIR
ring events. W. cannot think Of what
these men and women have done
without feeling a thrill Of pride. Mon.
tana's history is illuminated. all
through it's pages, with incidents
which are ~transcending IN their ro-
nance, inspiring in their significance
or prophetic in their forecast.
The hardships Of Montana life fifty
years ago were great. Now we are
surrounded with everything which
makes life comfortable. Our homes
are equipped with conveniences as
great as are found in any homes, con-
veniences which were not even
dreamed Of in the pioneer days. Our
means of transportation, u publicity
service, our lights. our telephones
all these items of our everyday life
which we now regard merely as mat
tiers Of fact, have come into existence
since Montana began.
There is much OF satisfaction for US
of Montana in the retrospect over
these fifty years of initial develop
ment. But there is also much cause
for regret in ONE of the features Of
our advantage along this epoch Of our
existence as q community. Nature en-
dowed this region so richly that the
pioneer naturally gave no thought to
the possibility that Montana's natural
resources would ever be threatened
with exhaustion or with %concentra-
ton in the control of a single interest
which would rob the people of what
was their rightful heritage.
While we may regret it, we cannot
blame the pioneers for the fact that
great areas of land have been stolen
from the people or that the wonderful
water power is threatened. 1t is use
less to waste time in vain regret, bu
We may find comfort in 'he though

Coughing In Lieu Of Oratory.

A singular fashion which prevailed
among the preachers Of Cromwelrs
time was that of coughing or hemming
in the middle Of a sentence in order
to attract the attention Of the con-
gregation. The necessity Of continually
attracting the attention Of the listeners
could not have argued we'll for the
brilliance OF the sermons. Some au-
thorities say that the preachers cough
ed merely as an ornament to speech.
At any rate, when the sermons were
printed, as many Of them were. the
coughs and hens were always indicat'
