RECEIVING THE NEWCOMERS

This spring will bring many thou
sands of homeseekers and small bust
ness investors to Montana. Land Of
fees, and commercial clubs in all
parts of the state are receiving in
quiries from outside relative to home
stead locations and business openings.
Letters are pouring in by the hun
dreds from the middle western states.
Large parties have been formed and
will be met On their arrival in the
Treasure State by real estate men
who have been in communication with
the homeseekers, intending to come
with their families to settle in colo
MES.
Hundreds will come to Glasgow and
it is up to every resident of this city
to see that these newcomers get a
good impression on their first visit.
1t means advancement and growth to
the city and the influx of outside cap
ital which will help to develop our
resources.

that the government had no money
to pay for such service.
On the day before request was
made for the publication of official
notice that a certain township would
be opened for homestead filing on a
certain date. In the same mail was
brought a request that publication be
made Of the fact that civil service
examinations would be held at Sc
attic, Wash, for the filling of certain
$1,000 and $500 clerkships.
All this was official government
business of little or no news value and
the officials requested publication on
the ground that the government could
not afford to pay for the same.
In each department requesting this
free newspaper service, the govern
ment maintains numerous clerks at
fat salaries who work on an eight
hour schedule. Millions can be ap-
propriated for grating river and har-
Dor bills and millions more for I'M
necessarily expensive government
buildings.
1t is unfair for the government to
ask special privileges of newspapers.

that.

SUBTLE FLATTERY

We can't see how anyone could be
so ignorant. Last week some poor,
misguided mortal ransacked Hank
Johnson's safe in the Enterprise at
Malta. We are at a loss to under
stand the motive, unless it could be
that Henry went down to work with
egg on his mouth some morning, and
the miscreant happened to view the
display of fabulous wealth. Spe ak
ing of the affair, he says:
"Last Saturday night some one
with a very small supply of g rey
matter in his upper story went
through the safe in this office. Now
We have no particular objection to
anyone looking through the strong
box and if they will let US know when
they want to do the job we will help
them because we have looked through
the thing numerous times and have
never found anything yet. What
gets us is the advertising the fellow
will do and the reputation the print
ing Offices of the state will get with
fellows who make a living in this
manner. A safe in a printing office
is for looks only as we know of nc
printer or member of the f~raternit,
who ever had enough money to carr,
in their pockets let alone putting it ir
a strong box"

with his bat, ball and nit.
Other towns along the main line
have already organized for the com.
ing season. It is up to the local fans
to decide whether they want a ball
team OF not, and we hope that there
will be enough with real red blood in
their veins to decide in the afirma-
tive.
And just to show our impartiality
we nominate Bill Rhodes for manager
of the ball team. (Applause.)

the bylaws will be amended to COM
prise, if it is not deemed wiser to in
corporate the club.
We respectfully recommend that
the club be incorporated. An incor-
porated body can more conveniently
and with greater safety and less haz-
ard to its members, transact business
and contract and discharge obliga-
tions than is the case with a volun-
tary association such as this club now
is. We herewith submit draft of ar
ticles of incorporation of preliminary
and legally requisite resolution to be
adopted by the club membership and
of a call for a meeting of the club
membership for that purpose if the
same is deemed advisable.
We are %contenting ourselves with
submitting a list of activities to be
selected from as indicated by the
ame and suggestions under the pro-
posed new standing committee heads.
Under the proposed department of
Ways, Means and Finance we espe-
cially recommend that the Office of
the Commercial club be at the earli-
est practicable time equipped with
modern Office equipment to the end
that all work of the various depart
ments should always have ready at
hand and easily and quickly accessi-
BILE, a full account of all its transac-
tions and disbursements; it should
likewise have an uptodate card index
system for filing all dates, references
and information; such a system will
facilitate and of course make less ex-
p%ensive the work of the club.
The Budget system based upon ac-
counts of previous transactions,
where this is possible, and in any
event on careful estimates is the mod
ern thing in business; h~aphazard, con-
sistent and a constantly changing sys-
tenn of appropriations and expendi-
lures will accomplish little compared
with expenditures along consistent
and carefully thought out lines. We
therefore recommend the building up
as rapidly as accommodating data
makes it possible, a budget system.

NARSE HENRY'S IDEALS

Col. Watterson, the well-known edi
Tor II the Louisville Courier-Journal
has journalistic ideals as set forth il
nan .erse sentences and paragraph!
well worth repeating:
Newspapers. with the law, SHOULD
assume the accused innocent unit
proved guilty; should be the friend
10. the enemy of the general public:
me defender, not the invader, of pri.
ya.e life and the assailant of per
sonal character.
Il make no plea for that sort Of
independent journalism which repre-
sents the caprices of a single editor
and prides itself on its immunity from
obligations of every sort.
ut can be said of the American
press that it has a jovial, happy fac
ulty of standing by the weak and re-
sisting the strong, of satirizing the
wicked, exposing the base, detecting
the false, and cheering the unfortu-
nate.
1--WE can as little expect that each
newspaper worker shall be a gentle
man as that each lawyer and each
doctor shall be a gentleman; but
manly conduct and aspiration should
fix the rule, the brutal and vulgar the
exception, the journalistic brand no
less accepted and honorable than that
Of physic, divinity and Jurisprudence.
II will not accept no indulgences
not given my neighbors;1 will not be
slapped on the back as a sort of

MONTANA,S RAPID GROWTH

The debate in the legislature on
measures designed for the purpose Of
creating new counties has brought
out some interesting developments,
chief of which is the rapodily-growing
population Of Montana and the grow
ing demand for separate division of
county government.
In the house a few days ago the
statement was made by one member
who discussed a division measure that
the time is not remote when Montana
will have eighty counties. He made
that prediction upon observation of
the rapidly-increasing assessment
rolls, particularly in the eastern and
central parts Of the state. He told
the members that they must make
their plans for this contingency, for
representation in the legislature is
bound to increase with the additional
divisions of the state into counties.
One member gave out the informa-
ton that when Rosebud county was
created, only a few years ago, the as
sessed valuation was two and a half
million dollars. Today it is in excess
of fifteen millions. He cited other in
stances to show that the assessed
wealth of this state will soon be dou-
BILE what it is today, and it will not
be long, as time is reckoned these
days, when the valuation will be
trebled.
Dawson county, it was said, is in
need of division; some citizens of that
large division have to travel to the
county seat over a distance farther
than from Helena to Lewistown and
must travel not on railroads but in
wagons. The western part of that
county demands division.
The majority of the members held
to the conviction that to change the

Some day Glasgow may have q
sugar beet factory. When the irriga-
ton project is completed and the
farmers in the valley turn to raising
crops that will bring the greatest rev.
enue, sugar beet culture may eventu-
ally become the big staple crop Of
this section. There is no reason why
this product cannot be grown profit
ably here. With irrigation the land
in the valley will produce enormous
crops, and there is enough land under
the ditch to guarantee a good steady
run for a factory in this district.
Commenting on the beneftsof a pro-
posed sugar beet factory for that
place, the Malad, Idaho, Enterprise
sets forth a few arguments of inter-
est. It says in fact, "such a factory
will afford a fixed market for about
%one-fourth of the total farm products
Of the entire valley. But this is only
a small portion of the benefits to be
derived, in fact it is only the smallest
portion, because if the farmers don't
raise beets they will devote their land
and energies to some other crop that
that will give them some returns.
"Aside from the direct interest OF
the farmers, many benefits are de.
rived from a sugar factory. 1t woulc
employ 400 or 500 men from Octobe,
until February, turning the unproduc.
tive time of 500 men into productive
time and at the low estimate of $50
per month and would mean an in,
increase of wealth to the extent O.
$4,000 a month.
