There should be no interference with

any of these interfere with the rights
of the people then the law steps in and

LETTERS FROM THE
MISS0ULlAN FAMILY
Rowe Report Explained.

Editor Missoulian:
We have noticed in recent issues of
The Muscular that the state board OF
education has taken exception to the
action OF Or. J. r. Rowe, professor Of
geology at the State University. in
making an expert report upon the
properties Of the Southern Montana
Oil company at Elk Basin.
In justice to ourselves we feel that
the facts should be placed before the
public. When we entered the field in
Montana we naturally desired the very
best expert in this character Of work
that we could secure and we knew no
better qualified expert in the state Of
Montana than DR.. Rowe. We engaged
him to make a reconna issance investi.
CATION Of the merits Of our properties
and OF the title thereto and of the
standing and financial responsibility
OF the owners and promoters thereof.
After making an investigation OF that
character he made his report and
signed it. delivering it to u.s. We paid
for 1t and considered it our property to
do with as We pleased. In our adver-
tiSing matter We very naturally ad.
vertised il. nd
We are informed that 1t has been the
practice Of DR.. Rowe TO make such cx-
pert Investigations and reports for
| many years, and in fact that this Is
the universal practice of all biologists
at all state and other universities. and
we are at a loss to know why excep.
ton should be taken to his action in
this case
| Who would the people Of Montana
have us select for report Of this
character? Some unknown, obscure
incompetent. geolOgist. whose reputa-
ton was unknown. or an esta blished
competent authority on the subject
recognized everywhere throughout the
state Of Montana for his ability and
honesty. We chose the very best man
we could secure in this state and in
passing permit us to say that any
critic may name any other reputable
geologist OF standing In the United
| States to make similar examinat ton
OF our properties and II his examina-
ton does not completely bear out the
report made by DIR. Rowe and pub.
lishcd by US in the papers. we will pay
the expenses Of such gcologist and
give him 800 a day. We are conduct.
Ing our business strictly in accordance
with the laws of the state Of Montana
and we expect to live up to those laws
We court the closest inspection and
investigation and cordially invite the
best biologists in the states to in aspect

On Patriotism.

Editor Nissoulian:
VIII you kindly explain what
Liberty Loan bond is and in what does
It differ from the government bonds,
which history tells us were issued
during the civil war? And also want
to tell you how pleased I was to read
about those brave patriotic men who
made that man kiss the flag and kneel
In the mud and repeat the flag salute.
He will always love the flag after that
OF course. You did not tell us what
he had done. II it was because he was

they made him do those things for

what a mob is and she sent me to the
dictionary. as she does not tell me as
she did not care to be sent to Fort
Lcavenworth for treason. as she might
be If she told me what she thought of
that mob of brave men. l am sorry
that Webster cannot be punished for
saying they were a crowd of disorderly
lawless men. They may have been
drunk and did not know hat they were
doing. But we know. Mr.. Editor. that
they are brave and patriotic and will
be the first to face the foe, to march
to the 'cannon's mouth" etc. etc.
asked my grandpa about the flag
and he said. Yes. the beautiful Stars
and Stripes have always represented
freedom. free speech and free religion.
1t was always the flag of the free
and floated over the "homes OF the
brave" although for 200 years it float
cd over a race held in the most abject
slavery. Men. women and children
were sold on the auction block bit our
great and wise men tell us what our
flag has always represented and we
must believe them. My grandpa is old
and Aunt Mary says he is childish and
forgetful. so went to my history and
found that his slavery story is true.

As TO RAILROAD RATES.

l we are Eldu " Stp kItdt tue IuiSS
Miner agrees with the Muscular that
the application OF the railroads for an
increase in intrastate rates should be
approached with the utmost caution.
So far nv we have observed, the Miner
and The Muscular are the only two
Montana newspapers that have raised
this warning on a subject that Is OF
the deepest concern to the business in
terests Of this state. Two other Mon
tana newspapers urged the granting
iof all the railroads asked when their
claim was filed with the state rail-
road commission and before It was
possible to hear all Of the facts which
should be presented at the hearing at
Helena this week.
We find the subjoincd paragraphs in
the news columns OF the Helena In
dependent OF Saturday:
The semi annual reports OF both the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific railways were distributed yes
terday for the six months period end
ing December 81. 1916. Both lines
show prosperous financial condition
both the freight and passenger earn
ings show a substantial increase. Tho
Northern Pacific's revenue from pas
senger business was &7137.S2s. and the
Great Northern was &S.356.57S.
This il the first time the passenger

attributes this Increase to the pros
perity OF the northwest, Montana In
particular. and to the ever increasing
tourist business to the Pacific north
west and Glacier national park.
nancial condition" Yet both lines as
well az others are asking for an in
crease Of fifteen per cent in rates
from the State Commerce Com
mission and an additional Increase Of
fifteen per cent from the railroad
commissions Of the various states
which they traverse including Mon
tana.
It is very generally conceded that
the railroads will be conceded some
raise OF interstate rates. The enact
ment Of the Adamson law and the
greatly increased cost Of operation are
satisfactory reasons for anticipating n
fair deal for the railroads.
The granting OF an increase of in
trastate rates by the railroad commits
sion OF Montana is quite another mat
ter. The big shippers can pass the
load on to the fellows next under. but
the smaller shippers and the farmers
can not do that They are consumers
as well as the rest of us.
We would like to see the little fell
lows we'll represented at the forth
coming hearing at Helena. especially
since two Of the great trunk line rail-
roads of Montana show such a pros
porous financial condition.
We agree heartily with the Miner
that the application Of the railroads
should be approached with the utmost
caution.
