Just a Word.
SHE undersigned wishes to an
nounce in this issue of The News
that he will henceforth manage the
affairs and shape the destiny of this
paper, having bought the same from
E. F. Ross' and A. C. Graves. This
being the first issue under the new
management we think it is a very op
portune time to say a few words ex
planatory to the existing condi In s
and as to the future policy of The
News.
The local news paper is said to be
the mirror in which the outside
world sees the town where it is pub
lished. Therefore it will be our one
desire to publish a paper that will
mirror forth Harlowton and its many
resources and possibilities in ,iher.
true light. But-it must be under
stood that in undertaking the publi
cation of such a paper we must have
the co-operation and good will of
every business man and citizen. And
futher more we want it to be under
stood that we have not launched into
this business here with the intentions
of furthering the interests of one or
two parties but we have come here to
further the interest of the entire
Musselshell Valley and its Metropolis,
antl to give you a "Harlowton paper."
In politics the News will remain the
same as it has been in the past, Re
publican.

Legllative Janltors.
SAXPAYtRS often wonder why aI'
janitor it the capitol gets from
$100 to $125 a month, when the com
mercial rate for janitor work is about
$50 or $60 a month. A janitor in the
Minnesota legislature at St. Paul
draws $150 every month. The differ
ence in the wage between legislative
janitor work and other kinds of janitor
work is founded upon our political
system of wire-pulling. The janitor
of one of our modern buildings is ex
pected to do a few stunts with a mop
and broom now and then, not so with
the legislative janitor. He is a poli
tician, a lobbyist, a wire-puller, and
not a workman. He does not go to
Helena, Bismark or St. Paul to sweep
the floor, but to represent his district.
He is a representative janitor. Since
we have a representative government,
it is desirous that all sections should
be fully represented. Therefore the
representatives and senators as soon
as they assemble at a state capItol be
gin to fill the clerkships and janitor
ships with friends who will fill out
the representation. The work of
these appointees is more or less orna
mental in character, and a person
can't fill an ornamental position for
nothing. When a delegation arrives
at the capitol from the janitor's dis
trict, he gets busy, not sweeping the
floors, but introducing, lobbying and
other hustling. He has no time to
sweep the floor. His office is of
responsibility, not meniel sece,
lhence the salary from $100 to $125 a
month.
A Lincola Road.
N a recent disussion in the Senate
over a fitting memorial commem
orative of the great deeds and mem
ory of Abraham Lincoln, Senator Car
ter of Montana suggested that the
memorial should take a form more
pronounced than a monument. This
suggestion is founded iii wisdom. We
already have reared a splendid monu
ment to the memory of the immortal
Washington. Surely it is not the
part of wisdom to build one in com
petition for Lincoln, neither would
it be satisfactory to build one that
would be inferior. But a highway
from Washington to t hie field of Get
tysburg would not only be practical,
like Lincoln himself, but stand as
a memorial, long after a splendid
shaft of marble .had crumbled into
dust.
The public highways of the world
are the most enduring monuments.
The celebrated Appain Way, built
313 B. C. by Appins Claudius Carcus,
connecting Rome with different parts
of southern Italy, is still in use and
good repair while the mouments of
marble that stand along the way
have crumbled into ruins. Some of
the military roads bpilt by Julius Cae
sar in Gall are still in use and well
known. The greatest monument in
Japan is a good built to one of her
ancient soverigns.
ANOTHER ACTIVE VOLCANO
gS
> .7~1
SenatorCarter suggested that the
Lincoln road would be made memor
able for the reason tihat it would be
the first of its kind in America and
for the further reason that different
states would add groupes of statuary
ur monuments along the route, thus
making the road one of the most his
toric drives on the globe. February
12th will be the one hundredth anni
versary of the birth of the great pre
sidant. If a memorial is to beerected
let it be such as our senator suggests
practical as was Lincoln himself and
enduring as his fame.
The Yellow Peril
_ VERY now and then trouble
arises in California over some
problem of race distinction. Funda
mentally the cause of the trouble is
in the refusal of the white population
with a higher standard of life to dis
cend to the level of that of the invad
ing Japanese. When two people of
different standards of living mix free
vly, the higher tends to elevate the
lower and the lower tends to degrade
the higher until they obtain almost a
common level. The white population
of California refuses to mix freely,
and is comnelled to carry on a strug
gle, with economic significance, to
maintain its standard.. The Japan
ese, individually and nationally, train
ed in a strict school of economy, with
few wants, no desire for luxury, can
live on a wage tnat is starving for the
white man. The economic habits and
lower standard of living of the Japan
ese enables him to pay more rent and
still have a profit than an American
can pay at all, even without a profit.
The American recognizes this evono
mic fact, and this coupled with his
refusal to descend to the lower stand
aid must necessarily be a cause of
constant trouble.
Other facts enter in to make the
struggle more serious and bitter. In
the first place the Japanesd continue
to come to our shores in large num
bers. Authorities on immigration
say that those already within our
borders only constitute tile van quard
of the great migration of orientals
yet to come. If this is true American
labor must make its stand for its pre
sent high standard is in danger of be
ing ruined. In thie second place the
invading race has national pride and
is arrogant. They have fought and
won, that have proven their war-like
capacity and they now feel they are
ready to be placed upon the same
plan with any other people.
There is also a moral side to the
problem. The Japanese are inferior
to the Americans in mortality or re
ligion. They come from a nation
that for generations has been vicious
and with low standards of morality.
The percentage of prostitution in
Japan is very high. It is said that
over 75 per cent of the Japanese wo
men that come to our borders are
prostitutes. Is it any wonder that
California desires to have separate
schools for American and Japanese
children? It is tile ethnical principal
of the standard of life between two
intermingling peoples, asserting itself.
What is to be the outcome of this
condition? Some say war is certain,
that the solution is in the arbitra
mnent of arms. This is true unless
diplomacy is careful and considerate
of the rights of the invader, as well
as the desires of the strong man of
the West who meets,and battles with
this great wave from tilhe East. The
treaty may be an economic treaty,
but by it the east must remain east
ern and the west must continue west
ern.
Nurse Kiis a Physiclar..

Pays to BeautIfy oSchool Grounds.
There is no way in which the taste
of the community may be better dis
played than in the proper embellish
ment of the school grounds. A few
places are so handicapped as to be
4amparatively helpless, but such con
dltlons are only temporary, and even
tually all may be placed in the line
toward beautifying the one piece of
ground in each section in which all
are interested. Well planted and well
cared for school grounds are a prom.
inent feature in making any district a
part of the town beautiful, for few
residents care to have their properties
unfavorably commented upon by al
lowing them to become unkempt when
near a piece of public property of
unquestioned orderly and ornate ap
pearance.
HOW TO DRY FARM
F. S. (Cooley, superinten
tendent of farmers' institutes
for Montana, gives the follow
boiled down directions on
"Howtoget the Crop" for
the dry land farmer.
"Splendid crops are being
grown in Montana without ir
rigation on lands that only
get 12.18 inches of rainfall.
The rainfall of two seasons
for one big crop. Summer
tillage to maintain a soil
mulch will conserve from 7
to 10 inches of water. Seed
should be drilled into moist
earth and the soil packed
about it. Harrow young grain
in the spring to make a
mulch and retain the moisture
Early seeding is best. Keep
all uncropped land cultivated
and free from weeds during
the springand sumnmer. Har
row after each rain, andwhen
a crust begins to form.
'Turkey red, golden coin
and loft-house wheat, 60-day
oats and white hulless barley
have succeede be0st on dry
lands. Inter-tilled crops, e.
g., corn, potatoes, beans, etc.,
are good in rotation. Alfalfa,
brome grass and barley make
the best storage. Flax suc
ceeds well on dry land. Feed
as much stock on the farm as
possible. Sell the crop in the
concentrated fornm.
"Don't attempt to plant too
much ground the first season.
It will prcduce a double har
vest after a season of cultiva
tion. (op thle land only in
alternate years, Flax, oats,
barley arnd vegetables may be
sown to tide the settler over
the first yeir, but the more
land he plows and summer
tills for next year's crop the
better off he will be in the
,Jl. 1 ..1
"Do not sow alfalfa until
the second or third season
aflter breaking, making sure
of g,,rod tilth ond reserve mois
lure; then sow the seed with
out a nurse crop, as early in
the season as possible."

TWELVE STORIES IN HEIGHT.

ments-Italian Garden In Courtyard.
Tradeemen to Go Underground.
Rivaling William \Valdorf Astor's
largest apartment house in the United
States, between Seventy-eighth and
Seventy-ninth streets, Broadway and
West End avenue, New York, IIenry
R. Francis, D. and John Sherman Hoyt
have signed a contract which condi
tions that by Oct. 1, 1909, the largest
and the most perfectly elquipped apart
ment house in the world will be ready
for occupancy. It will occupy tihe block
bounded by Eighty-sixth and Eighty
seventh streets, Broadway and Am
sterdam avenue, New York, and will
consist of 175 apartments In a twelve
story building and a population of at
least 1,000 persons. The lowest rental
will be $2,000 a year and the highest
96.000.
An electrical plant equipped with de
vices not now in operation anywhere
will supply heat and illumination. Each
apartment will be supplied with a re
frlgerating plant, so that "table ice"
can be manufactured for individual
use. There will be no cold storage ap
paratus as It is commonly understood,
but there will be a system of refriger
ation and an apparatus for cooling in
summer unlike anything now in exist
ence, says the New York World. Each
apartment will contain quarters for not
less than two servants. There will be
four immense laundries for the accom
modation of tenants, and each suit of
apartments will be'provlided with a
separate steam clothes drier, an inno
vation not Introduced elsewhere.
The cost of the buildlng, exclu:w;Ive of
the site, will be about $3,000,000.
The project takes in a tremendous
scope In Its general architectural fea
tures as well as in Its individual plan
nings. The first two stories wll be of
Indiana limestone. Ten floors will be
of buff brick with terra cotta trim
mings. The building will be 350 feet
long, 200 feet wide and 150 feet high.
The total area In square feet will he
about double that of the Madison
Square Garden.
The most striking feature of this
great collection of houses within a
house will be the courtyard, fashioned
partly after the Spanish patio or the
more familiar Italian garden. The
main entrance w111 consist of a double
driveway from Eighty-sixth street. The
courtyard itself Is to be a rectangle of
250 by 100 feet. There will be a side
walk dotted with entrances into the
various apartments that about on the
open space, a double driveway paved
with oaken blocks and a central lawn,
which In the summer months will be
used for various forms of entertain
ment.
The ground floor will have four apart
ments especially equipped for the
tenancy of physicians. They wll
face Eighty-sixth and Eighty-seventh
streets. The remainder of the ground
floor space facing the thoroughfares
will be reserved for high class lines of
business-bankers, florists and art
shops.
Beneath the central court will be a
subcourtyard lighted by skylights and
gratings, and this subterranean depot
will be used exclusively by tradesmen
who come afoot or in vehicles. Eight
service elevators will carry the sup
plies from the subcourtyard to the
apartments of the tenants. No wag
ons will be permitted to enter the main
courtyard. That will be reserved ex
clusively for carriages and those who
choose to come afoot and enter the
grand foyer. There will be an inclined
driveway from Eighty-seventh street.
The arrangement of the apartments
will be for perfect comfort and con
venience. Beyond the foyer will be
the parlor and the dining room, and on
one side of the dining room the butler's
pantry and back of that the kitchen.
The quarters for the servants will ad
join. The family bedrooms will be on
each side of a short corridor at right
angles to the foyer. Every door in the
living rooms will be of solid mahog
any, and the decorations of each apart
ment will be after the style of Louis
XVI. The floors will be of hard wood.
The wainscoting of the different apart
ments will vary in height. Some will
reach the ceiling, tihe wood being paint
ed in light colors. In other cases the
painted wo-dwork will reach only part
of the way np. and the walls will be
covered i. hI:rmrniously tinted silks.
There will be a storeroom for each ten
ant in the basement.
