IS GREATEST ROGUE Under Similar Circumstances an Army 0 icer Would Be Court Martialed and Shot ---Without a Parallel in History of Our Country The care of the national forests and the quciitien of what has be- come of the vast sum of money appropriated by congress for that purpome has gotten your uncle, weed Pineisot s , former chief forester. into an ar- gument that may yet let a little light in on the subject At Hel- ena, Monday night, the 'senator homed the following statement: - Mr. Gifford Pinehot. late chief forester. has rushed into print to shift responsibility for the dim- tresising forest fires that have des -- rotated so much of the vi 7 eatern country. He could not but real- ize that the causes leading to the disaster which has overtaken the forests of the west would be in- vestigated. and lie well knows that investigation will show that the default rest, chiefly with himself Ile says that 'lleyburn. Mond!!! and Carter are responsible because they opposed eriproprintiona for forest protection.' The fact ia that the gentlemen mimed opposed the miaapplicetion of the funds for forest protection. Reductions in appropriation; were never urged, except Rrl to moneys being applied by Mr. Pinchot to pur- poses apart from forest protection. Since 1896 congress has appro- priated $19,984.680 for the for- estry service. In addition to that princely amount the forestry set vire collected for timber and use of the forests, without direct ap- propriation by congrele, a sum which I believe will aggregate The Whitehall HOTEL F.

It was the plain intent of congress and the country that the money thus ap- propriated. collected and used should be employed to safeguard the topetinar timber OD the public domain within the limits of forest reservations. ' \The records of the ogfiee over which Mr. Pinchot presided will show that of the congressional ap- propriations only $1,975,000 i% ft used for improvementa of the na ti ona l f or este,, wherene the ex- traordinery mom of $17,213,060 was used for generel expenses In addition, Ihid not included in tin - general expenses, appearm n salary list of 0796.620.

I venture to any that the expen- ditures of the forestry bureau tinder Mr. Pinchot. when critivelly examined, 'sill show the itiot . it amazing mistime of public funds diet ever occurred In the lirstory of this government. If an officer charged with providing naval equipment or army stores cur the preparation for ear in any form bad been found guilty of only in- vesting about 10 per cent of the money intrusted to him for the purpose in view, he would, in time of war, be court-martialed and shot. • 'In the aggregate. approxi- rtmlelY 025.000,000 was intrusted to Pinchoem bureau, and it now turns out that no adequate provi- sion was made to enable the for- esters or the people to stay the '-ravages of fire. Under the Pin- cluot policy the settlers were ruth- lessly driven from their homes in the forest regions, the mining prospectors were prosecuted and persecuted until exploration for hidden mines became burdensome. The ftettlers : prospectors and min era constituted a splendid fire- fighting force within the forests. Their expulsion involved startling acts of injustice and tyranny and their absence from the forests in the days of need left the un- guarded timber an easy prey to the denim The handful of forest ranger; did the beat they could, hut they would do little, heciluae the money appropiated to prepare for fire -fighting had been mis- applied under the itdminietration of Gifford Pinchot.\ Notice to Public Those residents of road district No. 4, Jefferson county, who con- duct gutter across the public road are hereby notified that the road law requires II Oinking 16 fee lenglit and 3 inchee thick to cove ditch.

Political decency eould seem to demand that a party paper content itself with it hearty support of the ticket utter the nominating convention. This, to the Sunlight's Ivey of thinking, is an indication Ott the gentleman from hiasin, Metena, etc., has slipped something over on the little doctor, foe' iiIi - rdWitiP ; tril; newspaper and Mr. Hewitt must PACO known the republicans throughout the county would re- sent any much entente!, untoward and unseemly interference with their prer6ge-tive. had the Sun- light any u ght to offer R sugges- tion it would : * call the, doctor's attention to a little philosophy he may have forgotten -\beware of Greeks bearing incense.\ The Sunlight on this page gives space to the remarkable statement issuied by Senator Curter relative to Gifford Pim hot. Granting all the Senator says to be true, which -we presume it is, why then should he wait to make his ex poteire until it fractienol vuerrel appeared in the partyl Nlanifeetly the Sena- tor must have known these things before, but four years ago when the lion. Thome VumlIm war the candidate for congress and meth* these same charges. the whole re- publican machine and party of Montana ridiculed him. and that cry was \rally ,round Roosevelt,\ whirl' all.° in - Lest wee‘ the :littaouncement chided rallying 'round the foreete was formally milked, the candi- reatirvee. for it was dear Teddy dature of Marcus L. Hewitt and Doctor Leighton for the republi- can nominatioa for , stnte senator, and now the bushwhacking CM M. Deign is on. Among tither things these worthy politician.; announce with some unction that they will sup- port the entire republican ticket if nominated, but they fail to state what they will do if not; presuni- ably they ityatu that the nomina- tion is the price the party must pay for unelloyed fealty. A peculiar cirounistiuyce rens. nected with the matter at hand is the action of the republican party organ in coming out for the Bout - year the battle who created them, and that to iofthout authority of law. \When thieves fell out, honest men get their just dnes\n old saving which is brought to mind by this quarrel ef the Senator end Mr. I Pinchot. Curter would stand meekly by and see it state of the: union blotted from the map of the United States so long as it did not I interfere with hie rehire to the, senate. The republican party has I lied control of each and every branch of the , government mince 1896, and if in tJuit time the chief forester stole $20,000,000 of the people'• money, the republican party is to bleme. Is of Interest to Horsemen During the last year there has been more or leas demand by far - mere for stallions. Many farmers have written to is for information as to where they can purchase suitable Round stallions of good breeding or RR to where they might be able to Pell a good stal- lion or exchange him for another. These horses havii been used in their respective communities for several years and in order to avoid \inbreeding\ Iliey are now for sale or exchange. Many of them ere sound, free off. dieease, good breeders. are registered, in stud bootie recognized toy the U. S. government and ere already li- ensed to stand for public service in Montana. It is much better to secure one of these horses than to chance an unknown, possibly dis- eased, unsound horse of unknown breeding with a bogus cekificate of registration. In spite of all that is being done to protect the farmer., some Of yhem continue to be deceived in the purchase of stallions. They are getting grade horse. for pure bred., unsound ones for sound ones and often pay too high prices. There are in the state surperior stalliqns in every re- spect that are for sale at half or two thirds of their value because a change is necessary in order to avoid \inbreeding.\ Many of these are just in the prime of life and have proved themselves to be good breeders. Ferment who contemplate purchmeing, selling or exchanging stallions are requested to apply to this hound for blank forma, when filled out will give a complete diecription of what is wanted or of what is to be sold or exchanged. %%lien these cards are returned, the farmers can then be informed as to where they can sell, exchange or buy what they want among themselves and often near home.

II. Graves, charging him with the crime of man- slaughter under the provisions of eeetion 8.547, and 8,563 of the re- vised codes of 1907. \The facts iuwertained by Inc show that the Graves Mercantile is a demeatie corpora- tion and that its board of direct- ors consists of A. M. !loiter, N. II. Holler, and L. II. Giaves. It further appears that the iuumnehi- atu; business management and con. trol of all the business, properly and affairs of said company was and is under the direction of L. 11. Greve.. acting in the capacity of innenger of meld compnity. From tey investigations and facto wirer- taiued. 1 db not believe that A. M. and N. B. !loiter can for any rea- son he held criminally responsible under our statutes. It ia true that they are atockholdere and directors of the Gravies Mercantile compa- ny. but there is absolutely no evi- dence, directly or indirectly, allow- ing or tending to show that they or either of them directed the storing of gient powder or dyna• mite at the place where the explo- sion o , curred, or that they had any personel or other knowledge concerning the place where name wire stored. 1,bolikodede, for criminel 1:roxecution in Ole ease, made by said Alhert Taylor and William Robinson, were not neide in good fnith nor prompted through an tineellish desire to see our laws Upheld and persons guilty of violation thereof punished, bat rather to force the Greven Mer- cantile coulasuny to settle demands nettle upon it for damages Eli' titilied or alleged to have been sus- tained by said coin pleinunts. How- ever, this may be, there has been flagrant violation of the law which might have been more serious in its consequences. and it is not now within the province of either of us to suspend the law's operation.
