work the circle had been doing this
year. The report showed that Ga new

hours that lie between him and the
point of his destination, little realizes
the sacrifice that is being made by his
fellow men, in order to make his own
journey not only comfortable but pos
sible.
Scattered along lines of the trans
continental railways, during the past
three weeks Of unprecedented winter
storms, are thousands of men who
have endured personal hardships and
danger in order that the great majori-
ty Of US might not lack for the neces-
saries and comforts of every day life.
From the superintendent of division
down the line of engineermen, train
men, trackmen, car repairers and coal
beavers, an army enlisted in the SER
vice of the common-weal has been do
ing duty under circumstances just
about as uncomfortable and hazardous
to health, life and limb as that of the
soldiers who man the trenches and
the guns from the Straits Of Dover to
the Vosges mountains.
Along the frozen rivers and noun
tain gorges, across the continental di-'
vide, in the face of arctic billiards
they are stih battling with icy drifts
and treacherous snow slides, broken
rails and frozen equipment.
The queer thing about it all is the
fact that these men are not aware
that their invaluable service to the
rest of US, who work in sheltered Sc
clusion, savors of heroism and self
sacrifice.
The average enlisted man in this
great civilian army may casually re-
mark that, "the mercury was frozen
stiff at Blossburg last night" or that,
''the drifts in the Coeur d'Alenes and
the Bitter Roots are something fierce
this winter" but he calmly goes on
his way and about his everyday duty
with less concern about the part that
ing in the recent battle royal with the
arctic storm king than any of his
neighbors.
Here's to the railroad man; may he
live long and -Missoulian.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

If the open break between Presi-
dent Wilson and William J. Bryan
were merely political it would be a
matter of indifference to the great
majority of the American people,
who have found in the recent election
returns ample evidence Of the fact
that the republican party can return
to power in 1916, regardless of a split
in the democracy. But coming at
this time, and on this issue, the breach
is full of sinister significance. 1t

THE STATE OF OPPORTUNITY

ldE S1A1E Vt OTTON1 UNITY.
The current number Of the Popular
Magazine has an editorial on "A Big
State and Big Opportunities" which
contains a lot of interesting facts
about Montana, largely quoted from
the official book sent out by the state
agricultural bureau. The editor pays
high compliments to Montana and
expresses surprise at the splendid op-
portunities offered in this state.
montana is the fastest growing
state in the union. OF course, home
steading is no flowery bed Of ease

made fortunes out there to be given

blister would not make
much of settler for Montana. But
it expands our lungs to know there is
still such a vast area of opportunity
for the hardy sons of America who
are willing to earn an opportunity and
make it grow into home and wealth,
freedom of movement, and good
health"
The country at large has been slow
to awaken to the splendid opportun-
tiles that are offered in Montana.
Most of the other western states were
settled before much attention was
paid to this state But now the ad-
vantages of this state are we'll adver-
tised and the state is growing by
leaps and bounds. For the young
couple seeking new home in a new
land and willing to work hard, Mon
tana has better opportunities than
can be found now anywhere else in
the country.-Anaconda Standard.

A MEMORABLE WINTER.

Though the winter is not over, and
there may be as severe weather in Feb
ruary as there was in January, nev-
ertheless even should the temperature
for the next thirty days be normal,
the winter of 1916 will be handed
down as one of the worst experienced
since the settlement Of the northwest
ern and Pacific country. Old timers,
who were in Montana in 1876, say this
winter is a repetition of that one,
and if anything, that of the Centen-
nial wear was worse. But forty years
ago we were not dependent upon
many things of which, owing to the
cold and snow. the cold deprived US,
the deprivation adding to discomfort,
and. in some cases, causing suffering
and misery.
Not in a good many years has Cal
ifornia had such a month as Janu-
airy, 1916. with the rains and the
floods. For a little while the Puget
Sound country escaped both severe
cold and heavy storms, while the
Rocky mountain country was in the
grip of continuous cold. But in the
last week the Sound country has come
in for full and overflowing meas
ure of weather, the like of which no
old resident could recall. Today the
railroads, the big cities and the lit
tie ones are paralyzed in a business
way from the storms.
If, in Montana today. the range
stock business was as extensive as it
was ten or fifteen years ago, the
losses in this state would have been
very large. But compared with the
number of cattle that used to run ir
the open, dependent for feed solely
on their rustling abilities, the mum.
ber today is small and what losses
there may have been will be compare,
lively light.
There is no question but there has
been some loss of human life in Mon
tana, due to the severe cold, but when
the total is known it probably will
not exceed the number who freeze tt
death in the big eastern cities wher
there is cold spell. There has alst
been some property loss in Montana
but compared with the loss of prop
erty and the loss of life, either il
California or on the sound, Montan:
has reason to be thankful that he
losses are infinitesimal compare'
with those in sections that have beel
regarded, in general opinion, as NOR
favored states fror, weather stand

1t was one summer evening,
I was called for extra west,
And I was feeling fresh and gay

was called to take stock train,
And I will tell you here,
1t was the slowest train that
Ever on this world appeared.
Now Thomas Jackson rode train,
A train through Arkansas,
So slow that grass grew in the wheels
Where'er there was flaw.
But the train of which tell you,
Though III not vouch for the
truth,
Which I've always handled careful,
Yea, even from my youth.
1t seems Jim Hill had bought some
calves
To stock up all the ranches,
Besides the G. N right-of-way,
Likewise some of it's branches.
Now Coulee coal was on the tank,
And I got pretty mad;
And before we made the mile board
He used all the steam had.
And thus it went until at last,
No Coulee coal we had;
|And when at last we did get home,
I'm sure that I was glad.
We'd set out stock and picked up loads
To keep the tonnage high:
And when not busy keeping steam
I cussed the eagle eye.
At last the train arrived out west
After all our little rows.
We looked into the stock cars,
And the calves had grown to cows
Now if you don't believe this poem
Don't come to me for proof,
For when I take to writing poems
| Truth goes up through the roof.
