lost Charley Ross posterity will add
the conundrum where did Jonesy get |
the owl?'
Among the pleasant experiences of |
this very successful trip, none | think, |
was more enjoyable than the visit to
the HOLSTER home on North Fork. |
This put the cap stone on the edfice of
our eastern friends admiration for
the hospitality and the kindness of the
western people The courtesies and
attentions extended by DR.. Bennett, by
MI Deegan, and by Mr.. HOLSTER made
wonderful impression on the McAlee-
nan party They were loud in their
praise of the western people and of
western ways. That they will come
again is beyond question. Their exper-
fences here both In sport and socially
have bound them to the west with
stronger links than steel. And they
will be the means of sending others
here But however many they may
send, we are all agreed. that only
when the same party returns. will
there ever be bunch" who will
capture and hold the hearts of every
body as Mr. McAleenan and his party
have done.
We who had the high honor of being
associated with these splendid speci
mems of eastern citizenship are mex
pressiby gratified at the successful
issue of the hunt. We are delighted to
think that we have won new friends
for Wyoming and that we have paved
the way for the influx of new patrons
of this western playground of the re-
public.
Every man in camp was particularly
pleased with Mr.. Murgatroyd's good
fortune. For five years John has hunt
ed in New Brunswick and elsewhere.
But Dame Fortune was in a stepmoth-
erly mood and he experienced moth
ing but failure. He has gone home
now with a grizzly and a brown bear
of which any hunter might well be
proud. Our Saxon friend win com
plete the happiness of the writer If he
will just take the gun that failed him
in the hour of need and drop it into a
nice deep hole somewhere off the bat
terry, or a mile two out from shore
at Moriches
The best wishes of every one con
nected with the Jones' Magill outfit
follow our eastern sportsmen. Like
Falstaff with Prince Hal we may trul!
say that they have given medicine
to make US love them.
1t may be for years and 1t may b.
forever before Cody shall see again
such a brilliant success in the hunting
line. 1t never can hope to welcome
more genial, more generous, bette
beloved crowd than that which lef
here on Monday last in the persons o
Joe McAleenan, his brother Arthur
John Murgatroyd and Bob Boyd"
May God bless them all, and whe
the day comes that 1t shall be their
to ferry over deaths dark stream ma
their souls win the happy huntin
grounds of the world that sets this sa
world right!

little store in Glasgow. My only as

and willing and honest. One day
heard him complaining, and with JUS

that he was ashamed to go to church.
"'There's no chance of my getting a

took a sovereign from my carefully
boarded savings and bought the boy IL

so grateful that l felt repaid for my
sacrifice. But the next day he didn't

Congressman John M. Evans
citation over having been able to
retain the appropriation for the
Helena assay office, was short
lived. When the measure finally
came before the house on a vote
to pass the appropriation bill, and
roll call was demanded on the
Evans amendment, it went out,
one, two, three. Evidently some
of our congressman's friends
were willing to vote with him
when there was no record being
made, but when it came to ans
wering a roll call they got cold
feet. AS the boys used to say,
they did not have the intestines
to stick. -

The Pioneer would like to know
just what amount of good it does
to compel every insurance COM
pany doing business in the state
to pay for the publication of a
statement such as the state aud
itor distributes over the state
every year to the party organs of
the party in power? How many
people read such statements, and
what knowledge do they gain by
reason of so doing should they
read them? In the long run, the
people who take out insurance are
called upon to pay the charges
and the excessive insurance rates
are probably due in part to just
such foolishness. Were the in
surance company not compelled
to reimburse the state for this
printing, they might be able to
reduce the rates, but with such
added expense every year the
rates are kept up to meet the OBJ
legations. Then, too, the COM
panies have no say as to what
paper the statement shall be pub
lished in, except to pay the bill.
Probably this would not have been
thought Of by the Pioneer had it
been designated to publish all, a
part or any of the statements
but it hasn't.

A New Agricultural Man

| George H. Cook was born on 3
Bitter Root valley farm twenty
seven years ago. He finished
the~two year course in the agri-
cultural college in 1906 and won
the $500 trophy cup at the state
fair the fall preceding. He grad
uated the following year from
the preparatory course at the
head of class of 16, which gave
him a college scholarship. After
farming for a year he entered
college and paid his expenses by
work in the creamery and in
greenhouses. In the former he
obtained a state third class en-
gineer's license for stationary
boilers. He graduated from the
Montana agricultural college in
1912 as honor man in a class of
%. His vacations were spent
working for the Bitter Root VAL
ley Irrigation company in Or
chard work under Prof. r. w.
Fisher, one summer as ditch
rider and the last summer as
gardener for the Silver Bow
county Industrial school.
In 1912 he raised 100 acres of
seed peas in the Gallatin valley,
and that fall took employment as
manager of a $4,000, acre stock
and grain farm at Gregson Hot
Springs, which place he held till
the farm was sold this spring.
Mr.. Cook thus has good train
ing and has earned the reputa-
ton for high scholarship. He
has had long and wide experience
in farming. By sheer industry
he has made his way unassisted
against heavy odds and earned
his own education. He is familiar
with irrigation and dry farming,
is live stock judge, creamery
man, gardener, fruit grower,
and greenhouse man. He is a
Christian gentleman Of pleasing
address and great capacity for
work. His wife is a farmers

1t has seemed for some time
as if the United States was get
ting in bad, so far as the Mex
lean situation was concerned.
Foreign governments have had
their subjects mistreated and the
Monroe doctrine has been the
stumbling block against which
they have run up against when
demanding reparation, and the
United States must now either
Withdraw from that time honored
principle or else make war against
a smaller and crippled nation to
enforce such demands as may be
made concerning the matters
over which the United States has
undertaken to exercise super
vision. War is lamentable. 1t
will cost the lives of many of our
best young men and it seems that
it is nothing short of foolishness.
No civilized nation should go tc
war. There should be a means
of settling such disputes without
a resort to war. AS one senator
said: ''The death of one blue
eyed American boy would not be
worth all Of Mexico. Such are
the real sentiments of most all
the American people, and should
war come it will not be an en-
thusiastic one on our part.
