TIE Chicago Journal has an article on
railroad reform, suggested by the late meet,
ing in New York, The plan there proposed
was to inaugurate q reform in railroad
management by which certain lines now in
operation shall be converted into freigh.

By one company; the rolling stock by who
ever pleased to put trains on the roads,
which are TO be opened with double tracks
as thoroughfares to free competition in trans
portation, as the Erie and other canals are
now
The journal says that there are already
Peoples Lines, Red Lines, Blue Lines, etc,
and special trains chartered by outside par
ties, yet these have not reduced the price OF
freight. 1t thinks that freight can never be
carried so cheap by rail as by water, and
says;
Our last reason. however, for not creditinp
the wise men Of Gotham with a feasible plan
is the fact that hesidts the competition of
navigation we have 20 less than five distinct
railway lines running from this city to the
seaboard, beside others less direct, and IL
anything could usher in the millenium Of
cheap transportation the existing competition

EXCELSIOK.

The generous patronage bestowed
upon THE TRI-WEEKLY Posi- has made
the experiment permanency. 1t has
long been the intention of the proprietors
to enlarge the paper in proportion to the
liberal patronage, but an inability to
procure paper has, until the present is
sue, kept the project in allegiance.
Through the courtesy and remembered
kindness of Messrs. Wilkinson and Re-
nan. of the Rocky Mountain Gazette, wko
have expressed US paper in advance of
the arrival of our own from Benton, we
are enabled this Saturday morning to
present the enlarged tri-weekly. 1t is

excess of the former issue, giving us
opportunity to present largely in
creased quantity of reading matter,
while displaying better the advertise
ments. For some time our advertising
patrons have crowded in their favors
until our readers or they had to suffer-
We have divided the suffering as equally
as we were able, and now can accommo-
date all. Neither rates of subscription
or advertising are increased. Our ex-
penses and circulation are increased and
increasing. If you want to keep up
with the times you must read the papers.
If you would succeed in business you
must advertise. We will try to furnish
the people of Montana with as good a
paper as they manifest a willingness TO
sustain. Hitherto our patronage has

Remember that summer fires are as fre-
quent and more dangerous than those OF
winter. Helena has no organization. IL
is abandoned for want of the most mea-
gre support from interested parties.
The town is courting destruction, its
people ruin. How many merchants
have insurance 20 cover their stocks. or
funds to meet their liabilities, if they are
destroyed? a careful and constant in
spection, by capable Fire Marshal, and
well organized fire department are the
surest preventatives. Some day ii may
be too late to think of these things. A
few dollars from each property holder,
invested in apparatus and central build
ing 20 contain il, and these committed TO
capable and vigilant men, who are to be-
found in every town, would be the best
investment they could make.

FIRE.

Fire and water are good servants, but
bad masters. The one we can guard
against, and it is our duty to do it. There
are few places in which fire will work
more complete destruction than mining
town, Ii may break out in moment
and waste a city in an hour. We have
lad warnings enough. If we fail to heed
them, we are past Proliting by the teach
ings of events. The loss by confagra-
ton in this country is increasing to an
alarming extent. From 1859 to 1864.
the average losses by fire in the United
States were $1s,O00,000 per annum. In
1865 it was increased TO $43, 700, 600.
In 1866, it was $10O.000,OOO, and from
the large number of destructive fires re-
corded during the first half of the present
year, it will not probably be decreased
for 1867. The FIRE in Idaho City. in May,
destroyed 440 buildings, at an estimated
value of over S1,OO0,OO0. The FIRE in
Council Bluffs, on the Gath of June, de-
stroyed 100000 worth of property. No
city in Montana has yet suffered from a
great conAagration. Escape IN the past
guarantees no immunity for the future,
and hundred houseless, homeless and
penniless families may weep tomorrow
over the ashes of the roofs that shelter
them to-day. 1t is too late to act when
the evil is accomplished. Prevention is
better than remedy, and it is only 10y

OVER THE VETO.

The tidings come by telegraph that
Congress has accomplished the work for
which it was convened, and the body

military commanders have been sus-

badly furnished him by O'Conpor and
Greeley at the usual rates for such ser
vices, was read, spread upon the records,

man in Congress. To all this we say,
amen and amen. We believe the prin-
ciples OF reconstruction, as embodied in
the Military Bill, TO have been, and are,
just and right, tempered by mercy and

Brick Pomeroy, the orpheus of Montana

lowing key notes. which, although dis
cordant, even logically, are greenback
notes of harmony TO disloyal ears:

without egotism, has been an advantage
and credit to the Territory and the
people. Our aim is to improve. The
enlargement of the tri-weekly will ena-
bic advertisers to reach the principal
business communities through it, and
leave US nearly forty columns OF the
weekly for reading matter. These, we
believe, are all the apologies we have to
offer in presenting this morning our O.
larged paper. The subscription books
are now open.
