State of

May
that
From the standpoint of a lessor of
land the state of Montana is one of
the largest landlords in the west.
The Treasure state today has a verit
able empire of land under lease from
which it is deriving rentals that
would make a Vanderbilt or an Astor
a trifle jealous. The state has 1,481,
253.49 acres of land under lease,
from which the annual rental
amounts to $166,176.12. This is by
far the largest acreage the state has
ever had under lease.
According to figures that are avail
able in the office of State Land Regis
ter T. D. Long the state today has
92,336.81 more acres of land under
Of
the
on
J
lease than it had at the beginning of
the fiscal year, five months ago. The j
total acreage under lease now is as
stated, l,481.2o3.4».
This belongs to the funds as fol

Total ................1.481,253.49
With the annual rental from this
vast acreage amounting to $166.176.12
it is evident that the state land de
partment is one of the state's most
prolific sources of revenue. The in
crease in the amount of revenue de
rived from rents in the five months
amounts to $9.483.57.
The total revenues of the office for
the five months were $101,101.89.
This is a record breaker.
State Land Register Long turned
$26,303.29 into the state treasury,
representing the receipts of his office
tor the month of April, an increase of
$14,755.97 over April of last year.
During the month the office realized
heavily from tue land sales in Flat
head and Gallatin counties. There
has also been a general increase in
the business of the office, the pros
perous time» assuring close collec
tions from the lessees.
As the state sells land in three
Broadwater,
counties this month,
May 6; Yellowstone, May 26; and
Sweet Grass, May 28, it is expectea
that the month will be marked by
heavy receipts.

DEATH OF CUMMINGS
Causes General Regret in the House
of Representatives.
Washington, May 3.—The death of
Representative Amos J. Cummings
of New York in Baltimore last night
caused general regret and sorrow in
the house today. Above the nail i~e
nag fluttered at half mast and on the
floor the old familiar desk in the cen
ter aisle near me front row, which
the j Mr. Cummings occupied for so manv
Hor-1 years, was draped in black and cov
by j erect with a profusion of purple or
by j chids and spring flowers
Mr. Cummings* was "one of the most '
universally popular members of the
house and his death seemed to come
as a personal loss to all the mem
bers.
The blind chaplain, Rev. Dr. Cou
den, in his invocation, made a touch
ing reference to Mr. Cummings'
death, his great services to his coun
try as a journalist and statesman,
and he prayed for those who had
been nearest and dearest to him by
the ties of kinship.
An order was made to give a day
to claims after the disposition of the
statehood bill, and then Mr. Payne
of New York, the dean of the delega
tion, and the floor leader of the ma
jority, arose and in simple but fitting
words made the announcement of Mr.
Cummings' death. He then offered
the follinwg resolutions:
"Resolved, That the house has
heard with deep regret and profound
sorrow of the death of Hon. Amos J.
Cummings, late a representative from
tne state of New York.
"Resolved, That in recognition of
the long, distinguished term of serv
ice rendered in this body by Mr.
Cummings, that appropriate services
be held in the hall of the house on
Sunday, May 4, 1902, at 3 p. m.
"Resolved, That a committee of 14
members of the house, with suen
members of the senate as may be
joined, be appointed to take action
concerning the funeral.
"Resolved, That the clerk commun
icate these resolutions to the senate
and transmit a copy of the same to
the family of the deceased.
"Resolved, That as a further m^rk
of respect to the memory of the de
to
on
of
ceased, the house do now adjourn."
The resolutions were unanimously j
adopted, and at 12:15 the speaker, as
a further mark of respect, declared
the house adjourned.

DEATH c-e HUGH M'QUAID.
!
I
i
Man
The Well Known Newspaper
and Mining Expert Dead.
Hugh McQuaid died suddenly Sat
nvday morning at Helena, a stroke of
apoplexy causing his death.
The dead pioneer was 60 years old
and was born in County Tyrone, Ire
land.
Mr. McQuaid was a member oif the
Montana State Association of Pio
iieers. He arrived in Virginia City
in March, 1864. from Shullsberg, Wis.
He was a practical printer and
worked on the Montana Post, the first
ne^'spaper published in the territory,
In 1868 he went to Deer Lodge and
the firm of Kerley, Smith, McQuaid
' & Hathaway bought the plant of the
Independent from Frank Kenyon and
continued the publication there until
j.874.
In March of that year Helena was
visited by a destructive fire and the
plant of the leading democratic paper
there, the Rocky Mountain Gazette,
was totally destroyed. A proposition
was made by the owners of the Inde
pendent to remove their publication
to this city, which was accepted, and
on March 22, 1874, the first number
of the Helena Daily Independent was
given to the public by McQuaid, La
Croix & Kerley. Mr. LaCroix pur
chasing the interests of Smith and
Hathaway.
Mr. McQuaid was local editor and
also assisted in the mechanical de
partment for a number of years, un
til the sale of the Drumlummon mine
to an English syndicate. He was in
terested with others in making the
aeal and secured a block of stock,
and soon thereafter retired from the
newspaper business.
For a number of years he devoted
his attention to mining, but his ven
tures were unsuccessful and for some
time he has been rated as a poor
man.
More than five years ago Mr. Mc
Quaid located at Spokane. He en
gaged in several mining ventures,
none of which proved successful. He
visited the Fort Steele and Rossland
districts and for a time represented
the Spokesman-Review as correspond
ent in those localities. About a year
ago he returned to Helena, which he
had always regarded as his home.
Mr. McQuaid was a democrat, and
during his long residence in the terri
In
J.
|tory and state was active in politics.
j He held but one office. In 188O he
was made superintendent of census
in Montana. Several weeks ago he
made application to the state furnisu
ing board for the position of custo
! man of the new state house, and was
! given the position. He was to have

A WILD WEST SHOW.
Missoula People Wil Start One on
the Road.
With 50 buffalo, the pick of the
! celebrated Allard herd from Flathead
I reservation, as a foundation, a party
i of Missoula men has organized a com
pany the objects of which are to ar
range for exhibition purposes a "Wild
I West" show. Tne promoters repre
j sent that the enterprise will be baek
of ed by unlimited capital and after the
opening at Helena, on July 4, will
tour the country on the plan of a cir
cuit.
The organization is backed by Mis
soula capitalists whose earnestness in
the matter is taken to mean that
nothing will be spared to produce a
great success. Missoula people have
faith that this will be proved, and
that the show will be sufficiently pre
tentious to w'ell advertise Montana
and many of its resources as well as
to prevent a reflection on the history
of western life.
