In view of the confesion of .James Sherman, now in durance for themur- der of Samuel Studzinski, that 'he • owes his downfall to gambling, it Is wise for the 'citizens to ask them- selves the aixtve question'. If, through the insatiate desire to get money with- out working for it, or to get it in large chunks and quickly, One man is led to commit so horrible tt crfrue as Sher- man alleges to have committed, then from a moral point of view, gambling is an expensive adjunct to a commu- nity.. It were better to inconvenience the gaming element, permanently than to have one life lost, or one young man a confessed murderer ) through its evil influence. The expense of ‘ tileriutfifg`' trial or Sherman will in all proba,bil- ity be very greatrrAnd the •galnblers will pay the least pars of it, if any. .7Che expent.e of this trial 'falls on the men who have -worked for What they _ have got. Congressman •J M. irixort littaintro- duced a bill which provides for the . reserviiiirOPIfedicine s ilot Springs, on -the.klatimati reservation, to be held under 'the cofitrol and supervision of the secretary ,of the interior. The bill also provides , for the reservation of the lownsites of Poison, Ronan, St. Ignatius, Dixbn, Ravalli and A Flee, and for the confirmation of all water -rights appropriated by the indians at ' the time of the Opening of the reser- yat ion. Should this bill become a law it will meet with the approVal of the residents of the entire western part of ' the state, as there has been a move- ment on for sometime to have these lands and the swipes set apart as a national park, with the idea of erecting buildings thereat -some future 'date for the accommodation of the 'public. Medicine springs have • long been noted for friar curative qualities, • and it has been the idea of the People here that some day th4 may become as popular as lime -hot 'Springs of Ar- kansas, Which are under 'government supervision. e People who know the value of these spripgs have been waiting anxiously the opening of tile reservation, with the idedol filing on them, but if they are subjected • to government supervision, rs content - plated by the bill, they . .„ will not be • open for entry. ••••• Time people of Montana will be please4 with the news froin Washing- ton that Senator ( 1 arter'sliiii provid- ing for the creation of a new land dis- trict and the establishment of a land . office at Billings has met with favor - Able consideration at the hands of the :senate committee , on public lands,. to • which it was referred. Of chief value, 4of course, will•the new land office be in handling the business incident_lo , to the opening of a large portion of the Crow Indian reservation. Situated as it is, Billings is the more conven- ient of the larger cities of eastern Montana to a large portion of the Crow lands to be opened tosettlement. The Burlington railroad makes Bit- lings its Montana terminus: that road runs through the Crow reservation. Thus, by locating the land office at 'Killings, those who have occasion to transact business therein will be saved miles upon , miles), of expensive travel. The people of, Billings are to be con- gratulated upon the selection of their city as the place where the register and -receiver of the new office will be - stationed. satisfactory . eK far as the growing, of the beets j concerned, but whether the beet s contain the necessary amount of saccharineremaitis\to be seen, ,and in order to detertninethis point a test will be -made -of the beets: But, aside , from this, it is well ,to look.into beet farming from a food point of View. It MS been . demonstrated - that beets make excellent feed for cattle and would save an immense amount of hay that would otherwise' have, to be fed . to cattle. .At the present price of hay this would be. a great' saving to the ranchers. - MONTANA AT LARGE I The German Evangelical St. Mark's church of Butte, has filed articles of incorporation recently with the secre- tary Of state.

Carter. and 'Representative .1: M. Dixon, of Mon- tana, are taking an active part in the opposition to the Philippine tariff re- duction measure. When asked for an expression of ids views, Senator Car- ter said: 'KneWing that the neighboring states. of the arid region axe success- fully engaged in the production of beets and sugar, and believing that the climate and soil of Montana will prove especially favorable to beet sugar pro - (Welton, 1 shall oppose any legislation' tending to hamper or destroy that great and growing Indust my in which our farmers are so profoundly' inter- - ested. Moreover, I believe that as a matterof national policy it, is our duty to encourage ii ii i iiiiiiiiiiiii of such a vital and. necessary product as sugar until we raise within our own borders a full. supply for all domestic nieces- sities:' Representative inxim Said: \I am opposed to that portion of the Philippine 1411 that Provides for the Importation of Philippine sugar into thisseountry free of duty. It is not so much the present amount produced but the continued increased importa- tion of the islands threatened by the abolishment of the present. 'tariff schedule. There is at the present time one factory in course of construc- tion at Billings with others being organized at Bozeman, Hamilton and. Kalispell.

This is the deelSkin of the attorney general and the instruc- .tion - tff the state land commissioners. The order affects scores of men engaged fn mining in the Milk River • country and is. of especial interest to Havre, which place, has up to date received the greater amount of its 'coal sup- ply Lrom the prohibited sources. Present operators on these lands are given till January 1 by by the order to: continue operations and in the meantime ifs .much coal as • pos- sible will be hurried into ...Havre, In view of.the extreme cold that nearly always follows this date. ' if it be found, after legal investi- gation,. that the state has the right to lease these for coal „. Mining puposes upon a royalty \all persons interested will be given an opportuni- ty to make a bid for them at public auction.\ After discovering that the mines about Havre were on state 'land in- stead. of government land,. as supposed by the locators, several of them en- deavored to buy the tracts, but were notified by Goy. Toole and the land commissioners of the prohibitive stat- ute, From thtt three Ayers mines on tile 1 prohibited tract it. is estimated that the city receiver) on an average the year round of 20 tons a day. In extra- ordinary eold weather, as high as 30 tons' of -coal have been mined and hauled to the city. The other mines 'on the state land produce at least an, equal amount.- It is this amount of fuel in the back yard' of the city, as one may say, that.tbe recent order cuts off, and unless supplies are completed beforojanuary 1, will have to be se- cured under excessive rates from long, distances.
