ton Elevated Railway company Great
cd by its public management during
the past four months. That is one Of
the pleasant features of public owner
ship; if the patrons of the roads can
not pay the expenses Of the road the
taxpayers must whether they ride or
not. The government has run. the
railroads At loss Of S2O0.00O.0OO in
the past few months and soon the Us.

BIG HOLE BASIN IS

Down in Beaverhead. Montana's
most southern county, there is a Sec
ton of country that is going to go
over the top with q vengeance this
season in the making of hay. This
section is the famous valley of the
Big Hole, heralded from every corner
of the globe as the greatest haymak-

region in the entire northwest for the
feeding of beef steers and mutton
sheep.

grass in the pink of condition and at

it's population into that region where
