EXPANNSION TALK.
Possibly he was not intending to
make an expansion speech when he
addressed the Chatauqua assembly at
Devil's Lake the other day, bu» that
was what J. .1. Hill did by present
ing figures on the growth of Orient
al trade, and the possibilities of the
future. Speaking of freight traffic
he said:
"Two yeais ago we started a few
bales of cotton—and now past your
doors every day, almost every train
for the past six or eight months, has
carried carload after carload of cotton.
At the same time, while we have car
ried probably 150,000 bales to the
Pacific coast, 000,000 or 800,000
bales would have gone if it could
have been carried by us from the Pa
cific coast of this country to Asia,
and so with grain.
"It is only three years ago that the
low rate of ocean transportation in
duced a considerable movement of
Pacific coast flour to the Orient. The
rate was $2.50 a ton. The business
grew so rapidly that the ships could
not carry it, and the ships today de
mand $5 and *0 a ton. Now there
are not ships enough leaving the Pa
cific coast to carry one bag of flour
where ten offers. The flour that goes
today to the Orient is not used for
bread, but only for a few fancy cakes.
The market there is without limit be
cause of the number of mouths to
feed. One half the world's popula
tion lies between Balvadosa and the
Straits settlements. In China and
Japan lies one-third of the population
of tile worîtl. We can supply the
portion of China nearest the ocean for
one or two hundred miles back cheap
er than they can bring it from the in
terior of their own country and feed
their own people on the coast."
AN ALL-WISE PROVIDENCE.
Take a walk through a cemetery
alone and you will pass the last rest
ing place of the man who blew into
the muzzle of a gun to see if it was
loaded. A little further down the
slope is the crank who tried to show
how close he could pass in front of a
moving train. In strolling about
you see the modest monument of the
hired girl who tried to start the fire
with kerosene, and the grass cover
ed knoll covers the boy who put a
corncob under a mule's tail. The
tall shaft over the man who blew
out the gas casts a shadow over the
boy who tried to jump on the mov
ing train. Side by side the ethereal
creature who always had her corsets
laced to the last hole and the intel
ligent idiot who rode a bicycle nine
miles in ten minutes, sleep on un
disturbed. At repose is the doctor
who took a dose of his own medi
cine. Th ere i with a top of a shoe
box driven over his head, is the rich
old man who married a young wife.
Away over there repose the remains
of the boy who fished on Sunday
and the woman who kept strychnine
in the cupboard with powders. The
man who stood in front of a mowing
machine to oil the knife is quiet now
and rests besides tbe careless brake
man who fed himself into a seventy
ton engine; and in the corner of the
fence in the Potter's field inay be
seen the bleaching bones of the
chump who tried to drink a beer
glass full of whiskey at one draught.
But if you have tears, prepare to
shed them now. Here lies the body
of Pro Bono Publico who always
knew more about other people's bus
iness than about his own, and could
tell every editor in America how to
run a newspaper. The old fool will
be missed as much as any one in the
above catalogue.
And still people talk about the in
finite wisdt.m of God's providence.
In addition to the Leader's argu
ment for Montana cigars, it should
be noted that the finest cabbage
leaves in the world for wrappers and
fillers can be grown in Cascade
county.
\
THREE YEARS OF HISTORY.
While it is generally acknowledg
ed that the business situation in Mon
tana, says the River Press, is much
more satisfactory than it was three
years ago, the extent of the improve
ment will be better appreciated by
comparing certain data bearing upon
the subject. The comparison demon
strates that the people of Montana
have made remarkable progress dur
ing the past three years, and are now
enjoying a degree of prosperity that
should be a source of pride to every
patriotic citizen.
Convincing testimony in this con
nection is furnished by the amount
of property returned for taxation by
the people of Montana. In 1896,
property to the value of $120,697,
847 was listed with the assessors,
while this year the valuation promis
es to exceed *140,000,000. A gain
of some 20 million dollars in the
short space of three years is a most
excellent showing for a community
of about 200,000 people.
The residents of all parts of Mon
tana have participated in the improv
ed conditions of the past three years.
In 1896 the livestock interests of the
state had a most discouraging exper
ience. The beef market ruled for
the most part at from $8 to $3.50 for
good Montana steers; mutton weth
ers that netted $2 per head brougt
what was then regarded as a good
price, and 8 cent wool was an aver
age quotation in Montana markets.
When these figures are placed beside
the market values of today, one real
izes the difference between the busi
ness conditions of three years ago
and now.
The products of Montana ranches
also find a better market than was
available in 1896, and the value of
ranch property itself has appreciated
to a remarkable degree. The demand
for ranch property the past two or
three yea >-3 has given a handsome
value to locations that could not find
a purchaser in 1896 at any price. In
the mining industry, also, there has
been a record of steady progress dur
ing the past three years. Informa
tion from the various camps is to the
effect that more men are employed in
Montana mines than at any former
period of their development.
THE MANTLE OF CHARITY.
The Glasgow Gazette which is
nursed and swaddled by a 2x4 in
tellect apologizes for the existence
of the Herai.d man by saying "The
Lord works in a mysterious way his
wonders to perform." It is doubt
ful if the Lord should be accused of
performing anything around the Ga
zette office, but there is another dia
bolical personage who will perform
there if he ever strikes Glasgow.
The fool killer is evidently taking a
vacation.
But we must beg pardon of our
intelligent readers for having once
more mentioned this rattled brain
ed wise-acre, this freckle-faced, pud
ding- headed ninny, this curse of in
ferno who has come to blight and
blast the society of Glasgow and to
reduce the standard of intellectual
journalism in Montana. We rather
throw the mantle of charity over the
pseudomorphous blatherskite allud
ed to and hide a brother's glaring
faults.
A recent publication reaching this
office is the work of A. K. Yerkes,
editor of the Bozeman Chronicle, en
titled, "Pieces for the Paper." It
contains gleanings of the best writ
ings of this versatile editor, philoso
pher and poet. "Pieces for the
Paper" is full of robust philosophy
and rollicking fun based upon real
istic and ludicrous situations in Mon
tana life. It is a literary gem, a work
of history, philosophy and humor, so
happily admixed and compounded as
to insure a streak of wholesome fat
upon the ribs of its raptured readers.
Send 25 cents to A. K. Yerkes,
of the Bozeman Chronicle for a copy
of this book. Each and every page
out of the whole 150 is worth the
price of admission. Every Montanan
ought to have this work.
Democratic papers are offering
some beautiful apologies for the po
sition of Senator-elect Clark on fi
nance. The excuse for the apparent
political blunder may be classed
with the "didn't know it was load- :
ed" variety.

Let us first land the boys on
American soil, assist them to their

celebrate their return, call the brave
boys together at some central point
and in conjunction with wine and
song, feast them npon uncanned
fatted calf from Montana ranges.—
