WILL ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE
FINE GOLD FROM RIVER BARS

G. w. Blackley of Livingston has
filed an application with the state land
board for 20-year leases on about l25
miles of the Yellowstone river and the
headwaters of the Missouri river for
the purpose of gold dredging. In his
letter to the board he stated that. if
the leases were granted, he expected
to expend S250,000 Immediately for
machinery. The operations planned,
he said, would ultimately run into mill
lions. He stated his belief that there
was much gold In the beds of the riy-
ers which only awaited proper dredg-
ing to extract.
For 90 years prospectors have anus
ed themselves in panning the gravel
bars Of the Yellowstone and Missouri
rivers TO be rewarded by a few scat
terinr Aroiorsf of fine gold, but 80 far
no one has discovered a practical
means of saving the gold in sufficient
amount 10 make it profitable.

Auction Sale Sue
cess In Spite of Storm

The sale of purebred Hereford cat
tie, horses, grade cattle and farm inn
plements at the DR.. c. c. Tiffin ranch
on Box Elder last Thursday drew a
good crowd, despite the severest storm
of the season, which made travel ex-
tremely uncomfortable. The sale APP
~parently brought out real buyers, as
everything advertised was sold, and on
the whole at satisfactory prices. DR..
Tiffin of Seattle, who was unable to
be present in person. was represented
by his brother, IL. Tiffin, who stat
ed that the entire proceeds. of the sale,
amounting to nearly 50, 900, was with
in 5000 of what they estimated.
The prices brought by the purebred
stock, which included some of the best
Hereford strains in America, was ex-
ceedingly low, compared with values
Of only a few years ago, but the own
ers were familiar with conditions pre-
xailing here among bayefsTan also
in the stock business generally, and
state they were satisfied with the out
come.
The purchasers undoubtedly got bar
gains in this high grade stuff, and
realized that it was an opportunity
that was unusual. John Krebs and
Frank Shirley were among the princi-
pal biddres for the purebred stock.
Altogether the sale was a surprise
most who attended, considering the
unfavorable conditions. DIR. Tiffin
viii lease the ranch. and although 60
ing out of the stock business for the
time being, states that he has no inten-
ton Of d%isposing Of the real estate.
G. c. Geer, who has had charge of
the ranch for the past two years, ex-
poets to locate in this section perma-
though as yet has made no
definite plans.

tabulations made by the state railroad

immigration Problems.

III the new Commissioner of Immi-
grafton, w. w. HUSBAND Of ST. Johns
bury, Vermont, wants to give the
country a pleasant surprise he will
Try the unprecedented experiment Of
enforcing rigidly the immigration act
of 1917, which is now on the books
but has never been put into full oper-
alton.
This act is admirable in most of its
provisions, and If it should be intel
ligently and impartially enforced its
effects would have a valuable educa
tional influence. The American people
would learn for the first time how
sweeping are the provisions Congress
has made TO protect us from diseased,
mentally deficient, criminal, immoral
aliens. They would learn what high
standards have been set by Congress
for strangers seeking admission. They
would be informed as to the absolutely
unnecessary nature of many of the
legislative proposals which have been
put forward recently.
Commissioner HUSBAND has had a
great deal Of experience in the study
Of immigration problems. Concerning
them he ought to be as fully informed
rs one man can be. Consequently lie
should know that much of the agita-
ton regarding these problems has its
beginning in sslfishness, in sentimen-
tality and in ignorance. And he ought
to understand, as we hope he does,
that before the immigration act now
on the statute books is changed the
country is entitled to the instruction
which would be gained by intelligent
enforcement of it's sections.

Canada's Sensible Timber Laws.

For the timber men of the United
States who have been cutting under
sized trees for pulp wood there is a
lesson in the statute by which the
Dominion Of Canada, with her great
timber resources, makes It an illegal
act TO cut spruce having a diameter
of one foot or less.
1t IS estimated that fully half of the
pulp wood as well as great quantities
OF lumber used In the United States
at present comes from Canada. With
continuation Of the conservation meth
DDS employed by our neighbor and
the wasteful policy at home the result
can be only permanent disadvantage
20 the United States. To save the sit
uation laws to conserve our timber
supply must not only be enacted they
must be enforced.
Some experts put a limit of twenty
