Pres dont fS.tiuuel Gotupors of the American Federation of Labor says the greatest danger to labor is unions fighting unions. President Gompers in this lomarii paid his compliments to President McDonald, observes the Missou 1 i.n. It is claimed that the boundary mennments of Alaska have been found, according to northern reports. They are said to be located in the ex act position described in the Russian treaty in 1825. Thus it may be that we will be permitted to hold what we purchase.! in acquiring the Alaskau territory. Binger Hermann, commissioner of the general land office, in his report to the secretary of the interior, has called attention to the wholesale tak ing of timber lands in the western states the past few years and recom mends that either all available timber lands be placed in forest reservations or that the stone and timber act, un der which much of the timber lands has been taken, be either repealed or modified. Opposing nominees for representa tive in Yellowstone county were tied in the recent election. Each had just 735 votes. The opposing candidates for sheriff in Rosebud county were also tied—they each received 300 votes. Governor Toole will call a special election in Yellowstone coun ty, as soon as he has been officially notified, to settle the legislative race. Under the law the commissioners of Rosebud county may fill the vacancy in the sheriff's office by appointment. The complete official élection rô turns for Ravalli county as compiled by the county canvassing board will be found elsewhere in this issue. The board of canvassers developed two important changes in the returns as heretofore published. It had beeu reported that Mr. J. R. Faulds was elected representative over Mr. J. W. Lancaster by 14 plurality. The of ficial count reversed this, the returns showing Mr. Lancaster to be elected by a plurality of six votes. It was also reported that Mr. J. D. Miser had been elected administrator by a majority of five votes. On the con trary the official canvass shows Mr. Campbell to have been elected by a majority of 117. Some idea of the magnitude of the work to be undertaken by virtue of the provisions of the national irriga tion law, may be gathered from the recent report of the commissioner of the general land office. The work under the law is to be paid for from the proceeds of the sale of the public lands iu the states to be benefitted, and the report of the commissioner shows that at the close of the fiscal jear in June last there was on hand from this source $9,500,000. The commissioner also estimates that by June of next year the amount availa ble will have iucreased by $6,000,000. thus making $15,500,000 on hand with which to commence the work. It is figured that the fund will grow at the rate of $5,000,000 a year. The im mense amount of land which can be redaimed by the expenditure of such a sum of money is pleasant to con template. It may Bafely be presumed that by the time the revenue from the public Iliad sales is exhausted, the greater part of the arid areas of the country will be brought under culti vation by the operation uf the irriga tion law. MONTANA'S BIO OUTPUT. The history of mining in this state dates back to the golden days of Al der gulch and Virginia City. In that district between 1862 aud 1805 the "clean up" of gold dust reached the sum of $300,000,000. This was all the product of placer mines. This district is still a large producer in both placer aud quartz gold. Last year Madison county, in which this district is located, produced approxi mately $1.000,000. Following the Alder gulch excite meut came the rich developments at Bannack, Last Chance, Diamond City, Bear gulch. Silver Bow aud some minor camps, the aggregate yield of which is estimated at $100, 000 , 000 . The era of quartz mining began in Butte in 1876, the first mill being erected here in the following year. Iu 1880 the output of base and prec ious metals of this camp was $1,250, 000. The growth of Butte into tne richest mining camp on the globe, excepting only the great South Afri can district, is a brilliant page iu the world's mining history, which is well known In 1901 the yield of the camp, chiefly in copper, was $40,000, 000. In the 25 years since the be ginning of mining operations here, Butte has added $500,000,000 to the world's wealth. It is an amazing record and may be taken as an indi cation of the vast riches which are buried in the hills and mountains of this state which may be brought forth as a reward to capital and en terprise. The smelters of Butte at the present time employ not far from 5,(XX) men. Perhaps 2,500 more find steady employment in the lumber camps, mills and coal mines which are allied to the copper industry of this city. Official figures and estimates, based on trustworthy data, show Montana's mineral output to be as follows: Alder gulch placers.....$300,000,000 Other placer gold districts 100,000,000 Butte—copper, gold and silver................ 500,000,000 Other silver and gold dis tricts................ 100,000,000 Total...............$1,000,000,000 This is a wonderful story of natural Wealth that is scarcely duplicated in any other state or country in the world. It is an invitation to energy and enterprise, and to those hand maidens of industry holds forth a promise of almost unexampled riches. —Inter Mountain, to THE (URL IN POLITICS. ''What will not woman, gentle woman, dare when strong affection stirs her spirit up?" propounded a certain English poet, who had had an abundance of experience with women and knew what he was talk ing about. Aud what will not 2,000 women, young women at that, dare and do when they all like a man who is running for congress? In the Thirteenth Ohio district A. H. Jack son, democrat, was nominated against YourHair "Two years ago my hair was falling out badly. I purchased a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor, and soon my hair stopped coming out." Miss Minnie Hoover, Paris, 111. Perhaps your mother had thin hair, but that is no reason why you must go through life with half* starved hair. If you want long, thick hair, feed it with Ayer's Hair Vigor, and make it rich, dark, and heavy. M.M a Mil*.

Norton, republican, who has already served three terms in congress, and who of course expected to be returned by the usual whoopiug big majority. It seems that Jackson has an underwear factory, at which 2.000 girls are employed. Jackson stands ace high with his 2,000 girls. He has always been good and kind to them, establishing libraries, hospi tals, night schools and the like for their benefit and behoof. Jackson never sang "Just One Girl", or the other 1,999 wouldn't have had the re spect and admiration for him that they manifested when he accepted the democratic nomination m a re- i publican stroughoid, simply to keep the democratic party alive. What did those girls do? What didn't they do! They skipped up and down Sandusky county, asking every man in it to vote for Jackson. Fathers, brothers, husbands, sweet hearts, uncles, cousins, every man jack of them was properly approached and properly labored with. Two years ago Representative Norton had 6.000 majority in the district. Last Tuesday this 6,000 was entirely wiped out aud Jackson stands elected by 2,000. In other words the 2,000 girls switched 4,000 votes, an average of two to every girl in the buuch. Good girls!—Standard. PATRONIZE YOUR HOME TOWN. The following from the Furniture Journal makes interesting reading: There is one furniture dealer who Drobably wonders why the dentist in his town did not buy a certain bill of goods of him, instead of going to a neighboring town for it. The story, as the dentist told it, is something like this: The dentist and the furni ture dealer both live in the same town, both own property there, both get their living by the business they do there, and each is the only one in his line. The dentist, needing some furniture, naturally called upon the furniture man, looked over his stock aud found v hat he needed, but being an observing sort of person, he also noticed that the proprietor of the store was wearing some new dental work, which had been done recently by some other dentist. The dentist concluded that if it was all right for a furniture man to go to another town for his dental work, it would be equally proper for him to buy his furniture in another town, and he did so. The folly of both must be apparent to all. Even if each of them saved a dollar or two, the saving was not real but actual loss, because of the loss of trade to each, and besides there has sprung up a feeling of mutual distrust, which will spread to the frienda of each family aud extend the injury to the business of each. No town can live, energetic and growing when the business men pur sue such a shortsighted policy. If I need any professional work dons or have any goods to buy outside of my own line I want to patronize the men who are located permanently in my town, and I want them to make a profit on the goods they sell mo, be cause I know it will react to my ad vantage. And when they need anything iu my line 1 expect them to come to me for at least a part of it, and I think if the grocer and the dentist and the tailor are treated in this way by the furniture dealer he will not have cause to complain that they send away for their furniture.
