PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The continued forward movement
of the Austro- German armies in
Galicia under General Won Mackeuseu
resulted June 3 in the recapture of
the great fortress OF Przemysl after a
months campaign. The Russians
had taken 1t from the Austrians In
March after siege of six months.
The Teutonic allies are continuing to
press forward with the purpose of
taking the important city of Lem
burg by the same tactics. The turn.
ing OF the Russian offensive into a
weak defensive is generally believed
to be due to shortage of arms and
ammunition, situation which it is
thought will be relieved sooh by the
opening of the hitherto ice bound
port of Archangel. The Germans are

THE aim of the taxpayers

THE aim of the taxpayers
league is not for penurious-
ness but for the elimination
of waste and extravaganza in
the use of public money, of
the unnecessary and incompe-
tent help in the offices, of the
paying of salaries to men who
do not earn them, and of
illegal overcharges-or over
payments-and graft in gen.
eral. What is wanted is a
dollars worth of service for
every dollar expended-the
same business principle that
applies in every we'll conduct
ed private enterprise. Any
official whose conscience is so
blunted that by speech and
act he approves of the reck-
less, illegal and wasteful use
of the peoples money and
ridicules the protests of the
people, is a man who has be-
trayed the people he was
elected or appointed to serve.
Such a man fosters the con-
ditions the tax leaguers want
changed. And the sooner
the taxpayers all band them
selves together in the COM
mon cause the sooner these
conditions will be changed
for the better.

Bryan For Arbitration.

Washington, June 9.--In explain
ing his resignation, VIM. j. Bryan
revealed that the pr, sdent had not
felt justified in adopting two sugges-
tions made by his secretary of state
that an offer should be made to
Germany to submit the question In
dispute with the United States to an
International commission for investi-
cation during a years time and that
meanwhile Americans should by
proclamation be warned not to take
passage on any belligerent ships or on
American vessels carrying ammuni-
ton.
These propositions, Mr.. Bryan
expects to urge upon the people sin
the hope of securing such an
expression of public sentiment as will
support the president in employing

In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries in the worlds affairs
and perptuate an appreciation OF our
marvellous Industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are oVerpowering IN
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account Of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob
lens of transportation, and the great
est men In the history Of the worlds
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems Of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail-
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Elk
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap
est rates. pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient
~ managed of the railways of the
world. They stand as q monument to
the native genius of our marvellous
builders, and most of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent a larger in
vestment of capital than any other
branch OF human activity. The mile
age in the United States exceeds

A comparison of rates is equally as
interesting and the United States
takes the lead in economy and serv-
ice. The average rate per ton per

United States 76c, Great Britain 1888,
France $1.44, Germany $1.44, Russia
92c, Austria Hungary $1.30, Italy $3.50
and Switzerland $3.50.

tria 1922, Great Britain $279, France

About 80 per cent, or $4,000 miles,
Of the railways Of the world are
government owned. About half the
railway mileage of Europe is govern
ment owned.
A comparison of the economy, in
time and money and the convenience
in travel, will be made in a later
article.

entered upon the Galcian campaign

this preponderance of artillery That
the Russian center on the Dunajec is
said to have been destroyed, forcing
the retreat on the San. During May
the Austro-German forces captured
300, 900 Russians and since June / +,
the Austrians claim to have captured
10000 on the Dneister below Lem
burg.
Both German and Russian reports
state that the Germans are active in
their advance in the Russian Baltic
provinces. The recent report, how
ever, that the Germans had taken
Riga, appears to have been an error.
The French report progress against
the German line at Melville and
Hebuterne, and that the Germans
left 1000 dead on the field Ia an I'M
successful attack on the French
trenches north of the Aisne June 6.
The British report the loss Of 20,-
900 men In the fighting in Flanders
last week.
The German government has in
vestigated the torpedoing of neutral
ships, including the American steam
err Gulflight, and says they were sunk
by mistake, that the mistakes are
deplored and Germany will pay all
damages.
German submarines are still active,
sinking numerous merchant vessels
carrying supplies of grain, lumber
and iron ore to British ports.
The American note to Germany
demanding recognition of rights of
ueutrals IN The war zones, held up for
week for careful revision, was
cabled to Berlin June 8. Rather
than sign the note, which he con-
sidered too strong and likely to lead
to war, W. j. Bryan resigned his
Office as secretary of state. President
Wilson accepted the resignation and
Robt. Lansing signed the note as
secretary of state ad interim.
On June 8 Premier AsQuith OF
Great Britain announced that the
total British casualties from the
beginning OF the war to May 81 was
258, 009 men, of whom $4,000 were
killed, more than $4,000 wounded
and the rest missing. OF these losses
1854, 900 were suffered in the last foul
months. The other governments
have made no announcements Of theiI
total casualties.
The British have sunk another

AMONG the items that the
village council will be called
upon to consider when max
ing the annual estimate is a
monthly allowance to the
band. Rathdrum has had a
band for several years and on
numerous occasions the pro-
fIciency of the organization
has elected compliments from
visitors of prominence. The
band has been useful on
special occasions and in many
public programs. But like
all such organizations, if a
band is not self supporting it
needs public financial aid or
it must cease to exist.
AS has been pointed out in
the past, if the people of the
city want a band they must
support it and the only way
to secure anything like an
even distribution of the
burden is to render that sup
port out of the public treas
ury.

POPULATION MOVEMENTS AT.
TER THE WAR

Agents of transatlantic ger
lines predict a great rush o; travel
eastward within the first SIX months
after the end of the war. They are
estimating this at 100000. They ex-
pect this heavy passenger movement
to be confined chiefly to second and
first class traffic composed of hundreds
of thousands of Poles, Slavs, Rouman-
ians, Bulgarians, Belgians, Galicians,
Croatians, Germans, Austrians, Hun
garians, Bohemians and Italians, who
will 60 over to find out what has hap
pened to their relatives and their pro-
perty during the war. There are
many thousands of these people earn
ing good wages in this country who
have property interests and family in
terests affected by the war, but to
what extent they do not know.
Some other considerations are ex-
pected to move the population in the
same direction. If the freedom of
Poland should be a part of the peace
arrangements, it is expected that
many Poles will return home from
all parts of the world to their native
land to stay. Another element tt

SHALL WE SELL OUR WHEAT?

SHALL WE SELL OUR WHEAT?
Whether to sell wheat at the pre-
vailing price or hold it for a better
one is a very live question to thous-
ands of men in Montana at this very
time.
Last veal under the excitement
caused by $3.50 wheat and the cer-
taintl that the war would continue for
at least another year, every one in
Montana sowed wheat. We now find
that all the other people, in all the
other states and foreign countries
were evidently influenced by the same
kind of logic.
1t is estimated that Canada will
have, a surplus for sale this year of
IT'S, 900, 900 bushels; Argentina, $780,
OOO, 900 bushels; Australia. 10000, 900
bushels, and India, 5O,OOO,O 900 bushels,
making a total amount for export in
these four countries alone of 415,000,-
900 bushels. At the same time we
will have more than 400, OOO, 900 BUSH
els in excess of our own needs.
Our old farmer friend, Jim Hill,
holds steadfast to the theory that the
coming year will not be an era of high
prices for wheat. The story goes
that Mr.. Hill has already sold his
10000 bushel crop from his Minnesota
farm. He says, that England will
require 24O.O 900 900 bushels this COM
ing year; France 81, 5000, 900 bushels

undoubtedly be in the market for sew
