Fl STRAW VOTE

Regardless of the generally accepted ineffectiveness of the
STRAW vote" the Literary Digest of New York appears to have
started something of popular interest in securing a large poll on
the questions of prohibition and the bonus for eX-service men.
Some millions of letters have been sent broadcast throughout the
country calling for a secret vote upon the phases of the Volstead
act, also asking for an opinion as to whether the soldiers should
receive a bonus or not. AT this writing nearly half a million votes
have been cast and the result is rather surprising to the extreme
advocates of both sides of either question. The extreme "wets"
appear to be considerably in the background, but this is more than
made up by the large number favoring the modification of the
Vostead act permitting light wines and beer.
The result of the vote on the bonus question so far indicates
a pretty close division for and against, as out of a total of 953,9 1913
votes there is a majority of only Lac in favor of a bonus. There
is a possibility that the form in which the Literary Digest put the
question to the voter had something to do with this small majority
In favor of the bonus. In its QUESTIONABLE it asks: do you favor
a Federal Bonus for all American Soldiers and Sailors who wore
the uniform during the World War" The ordinary citizen answer
ing that question put in that manner is more than apt to call to
mind certain fragrant examples of reluctant service which occur
red in his own community and is not to be blamed much if he sets
down n emphatic mo-. The advocates of the bonus bill object to
the term "bonus," preferring to call it adjusted compensation,
and If it really means adjusted there is everything in their favor
toward its contamination and also in the whole hearted support it
will get from the people at large. Perhaps if the Digest had used
this term in prDp0unding the question the result of the straw vote
would have been much different.

NO MORE FRONTIER

All the desirable farming land of Montana has passed into in
dividual ownership, or at least practically all. Here and there 1T
may be possible to locate a small homestead on wild land, but for
one to start out to locate such a place would no doubt be as costly
as to purchase a partly improved homestead. The frontier has
disappeared and is now only a memory, partially revived by the so
called wild west" exhibitions and kindred shows gotten up mainly
for profit to the promoters. 1t is pehraps a pity that we have
exploited our frontiers so rapidly, for now there seems to be no
place for our young men of spirit to find an outlet for their ener-
gies. 1t is true that we have Alaska left, practically an unknown
farming and grazing, but our government has seen fit to place a
great many restrictions upon the exploiting of these resources and
it does not appear to appeal very strongly to the adventurous
Apparently no frontier unattainalbe to the jitney has any attrac-
ton to the young men of this generation anyway.
However, there are a few things left that promise a life in the
open, an opportunity for adventure and a chance for fame and
fortune to those young men possessed of energy and brains enough
away with them, Engineers of prominence and vision have gone
on record with the assertion that a large share of our railroad sys-
TENS are destined to be operated by electricity within the present
generation. The way has been pointed out and the proof sub
mitted by one great railroad in Montana already and more have
given out the information that plans are under way to electrify
Montana is surely destined to become one of the greatest power
producing states of the union in the not far distant futHre.It ap-
pears to US that any young man who will secure a practical knowl-
edge of electric science is pretty sure of a life job in a well paid
profession, and one that promises plenty of action and hmItless OPP
portunities for both adventure and advancement.
Although we have lost our frontier as conceived by the pop
uar mind, there appears plenty of wild west. yet to conquer
There are still great areas of desert land yet to be made prOduc-
tive, and in the south great areas to be drained and made to bear
crops. No one need to long for opportunity so long as these con-
dtions exist, and no one yet believes that all the rich ore bearing
veins of precious metals have been brought to light in the noun
of Montana. While there have been no great "stampedes' of
recent years, there are many prospectors out in the mountains and
all over the great west and some days will GO forth the news
of another great mining discovery. No, there's no more frontier"
but the days of achievement are still with us

Hans Johnson has about 20 acres
into flax on his Neil creek ranch
this year. and f.. r. Clingan about
acres. This, so fsr as we have
heard, it is the first attempt to
raise flax for the market in Cascade
county, and should it prove success
full it is probable that many farmers
will turn their attention to growing
he crop, which is said to be a very
profitable sne. Both crops are said
be doing very nicely and promise a
leavy yield.
