It was an iiniiaiil thing to do,^and ii made the task of Crisp hard, lint^he was not left unaware of the desirability^of repeating to Montana the l.ivor^that h id been extended by a republican.^Kepoaicd democratic recommenda^^tions were made to him. Out ot interest^for the state alone. Colonel Sanders ia^said to have gone to Crisp to add ins ad^^vice that the Montana |x ople should bare^us much consideration upon i ouiiuittcca^in which llie state has a |seiiliar and^pin'ier iutcii'st as il had obtained from^l'^ed.

The library eominiltea does not^really have much lo do with any library. Its^principal function haa been, in n-ceut^years, to buy picture* of an allis/ed^historical description and doubtful value^al an absurdly high figure.

Didanybody ever suspect that Carter,^the land commissioner, waa a poet ^ That^he had some imagination waa concluded^w hen he published, during the ill-fat- d^Reed campaign of lsito. the romances^aboe: the taritl which Reed got up with il^^lustrations und scut out lo the countty^through Carter's cotigtvsi-ional commit^^tee^ Hut he is a rhymer, and between^times, at the laud office, be turns hla at^^tention to subjects of contemporaneous^human interest and weavos them into^story in verae.

Some per^^sons who had Isnight laud al less than il'O^an ai-re decired to get $KO a city lot for it.^Seeing that it was improbable tha' they^so should get such prices, they sud^^denly discovered that there were^gold traces of eiiorinous richness in^lb^ lauds. A great deal of testimony was^lakcu to prove that it was really useless tn^go any where out of lliedi-iiiei lo dig for^gold, and yet the courts, after deciding^thai if then- was any gold in the lands it^belonged to tin- government, under the^terms of old grams, awanh-d a nominal^lienelit to the holders of the allcgi-d lllin-^eral lands, and gavc the government the^t ight to take possession at the appraisi d^valuation.
