 She drew a long, deep sigh and looked down at the rug.
 Alexander Gorham began to have a feeling of pity for her. He wondered if one so young and so lovely could possibly want divorce. It did not seem possible to him that any man could give such a girl cause to want g separation. Yet if she did not seek his services for the purpose of having her inheritance safeguarded he could think of nothing else but the desire for a di yorce that would be likely to cause her to consult 9 lawyer. He felt that it was too bad, and suddenly he haG an inspiration.

More Railroad Talk.

There is more talk going the rounds
at present about the 500 building up
in he north country from Ambrose
to Sweet Grass. The following taken
from the Great Falls Tribune tells of
he proposed work. The postohice of
Barre referred to in the following ar
ticIe is almost straight north of Hins-
dale and II miles south of the Cana
dian line:
Although he 500 has party of
engineers working in the field east of
Conrad finishing up an uncompleted
portion of the Plaza extension survey
which was put through the state last
fall and winter. it is The belief of
railroad men that nothing will be
done by the company towards The
building Of that proposed line this
year
However, it is known that the 500
has decided not to push it's Ambrose
extension further west through the
state and that its final locations have
been made for an extension of about
so miles in length running westward
from that portion of the line now UNI
der construction in Sheridan county
in the extreme northeastern part of
The state.
Contractors have for some time
been engaged upon the grading of
the line into the state from North
Dakota and it is known here that
bids have been invited for anot her
stretch of the line running westward
a short distance south Of the interna-
tional boundary towards the town of
Barre in the northern part of Valley
county.
1t is understood that it is the in
tention of the 500 to build this line
on westward paralleling the interna-
tional boundary to probable juno
ton with the Canadian Pacific at or
near Sweet Grass.
1t is further announced that Presi-
dent Pennington, of the 500 line, is
contemplating trip over this pro-
posed route to SweetlGrass.

ater and Sewer

The voting population of Malta had
sufficiently recovered from a strpn-
uous Fourth by Monday to take up
and dispose of Il serious municipal
question. While the vote was not
large in numbers, it WAS emphatic
enough to Indicate that our people
are ready to meet the needs Of the
future, as well as to provide for the
immediate demands Of city life. The
vote stood 35 for and 10 against the
bond issue for water works and
sewer.
Before the city council proceeds
to decide upon amy particular system
of water works, or sewage either, it
would be well to have u public con-
ference--not one OF the cut and dried
atfairs-but an informal meeting
where everybody may take Il part in
the discussion pro and con. A big
hunk of money will be thrown into
these improvements, followed by n
steadily recurring interest day. Let
us make haste slowly, and before
moving become satisfied that what
ever system may be adopted, is the
best for the money.

BILLIONS OF TONS

Geological Survey Gives
Some Idea of Vast Wealth
of the West.

When the total production OF coal
in the United States, great as il is. is
compared with the known tonnage in
the ground II sinks into relative insg-
niiicancc. Thus, four recently de-
scribed coal fields in Colorado are csti-
mated by the United States geological
survey 10 contain more than 1900, 600.
900 snort tons OF coal, or three fourths
OF The total amount OF coal that has
been mined and lost through mining pro-
cesses in the United States since the be-
ginning of the industry. These are
known as the coal fields OF the Grand
Mesa and the West Elk mountains

These fields constitute parts of the
uinta ,. coal region. In the Rocky noun
central Colorado and partly In eastern
Utah, The part OF the Uinta region
described In the bulletin Is divided Into
four more or less distinct fields, called
Grand Mesa, Floresta, Mount Carbon
and Crested Butte.
The Investigations described In the
years and were made for the purpose
OF ascertaining the geologic relations
OF the coal l-bearng rocks to other for

value of the coal land by ascertaining
the thickness of the coal beds, the
character and quality OF the coal, its
accessibility with reference to topo-
sra phical features, and its location with
reference to lines of transportation.
Because OF the uncertainty In many
places as to the number Of coal beds
and the still greater uncertainty as to
their variations in thickness. no close
estimate can be made, OF the quantity
of coal in the fields. However a COM

Leased Oil Lands.

\ single instance may be cited
over 90 per cent of the oil production
of the United States In 1911 came
from leased lands. In the public in
tercst leasing is to he prefovrcd TO
sale for several reasons. In the first
place. the sale OF mineral lands at
appraised values per acre presents
problems OF great difficulty. and OF
uncertain solution, because OF the
number OF factors involved.
For example. In valuinC coal lands
under the present coal-land law or
in valuinG phosphate lands. should

WHY THE LEASING

Wider Mining Claims and
elimination of Apex Law
Are Favored.
IS DIFFICULT PROBLEM

In bulletin No. 537 OF the United States
geological survey. dealing with the classi-
ication OF public lands. the leasing sys-
tenn OF western mineral lands is stoutly
maintained. and as there is some differ
cnce OF opinion on this important uues-
lion II is well that the west become as
familiar with the arguments favorins
leasing as with those opposed to the
same. The following brief argument from
the bulletin will give some idea why the
advocates OF leasing maintain their POSI-
ton:
Nearly every student OF the situa-
ton is agreed that the leasing system
is far better than any other for dis
posing OF natural resources. This
conclusion IL based partly on the logic
Of theoretical consid dcrations, partly
on the experiences OF other countries.
such as the Australasian states. and
partly on the fact that the leasing
system is rapidly replacing all others
IN commercial practice in the United
States.

Burch, the company handling 30.lo0 tons
Of ore, the gross value being given as

handled in February. the gross value OF
which was s567.356 and net profits
