SUSPENSION OF PUBLICATION.

This is the last number of the Posi-
that will be issued before removal. The
Laws of Montana are now printed, the
Index alone remaining, which will re-
quire but few days to complete Due
notice will be given by Secretary Tufts
when they are prepared for distribution.
The material of the Office will be remov-
ed to Helena as speedily as possible,
and the paper be issued from that place
on or about April 18th.

In dispOsing of my interest in the
MONTANA Posi- Printing establishment
to Mr.. Ben. r. Dittes, desire to express
my thanks TO tue people of Montana, and
especially to the citizens of Virginia for
the generous encouragement and patron
age they have bestowed upon it from it's
first establishment, nearly four years
ago, until the present. For the reasons
stated by the Proprietor, it is believed
the removal of the office of publication
@Helena will be for the best interests
of the paper and its patrons. AS it's
name indicates, the MONTANA Posi- is a
paper of the Territory and devoted to its
interests at large. 1 have reason to
believe that under the control of Mr..
Dittes, its character will be maintained
unimpaired, its value as q newspaper
materially enhanced, and the Posi- con-
tinue to be worthy of the 70
spect, confidence, and patronage Of all
men. More particularly identified with
Virginia, and my means invested here
requiring my personal attention, l will
remain in business in this place Ihave
sold my share of the Office TO Mr.. Dittes
and hope that the liberal patronage
heretofore given US as a firm will be as
freely extended TO him. ALI advertise
ments and subscriptions given to d, w
TiIton s Co. will be filed by Mr.. Dittes
d. w. TILTON.

In assuming the sole proprietorship
of the Montana Posi- and removing the
establishments to Helena, tits proper
that the reasons should be stated to its
patrons. The Weekly Montana Posi-
was established in 1864, under adverse
circumstances, half its present size, and
has grown from insignifcance to pro-
portions that compare fayorably with
any Journal in the land. Our intention
was to make it a good newspaper, des-
erving Of support. For more than an
year it was the only newspaper in the
Territory for over one year there
after the only Tri-Weekly, and for
year the only paper in Montana that
paid for and furnished its readers the
telegraphic news report from the wires
1t has been sustained beyond our most
sanguine expectations. Its size has been
doubled, and such features added TO it as
it was believed would render it more
acceptable. 1t has to-day liberal ad-
vertising patronage, and we believe, a
larger circulation throughout Montana
the States and Territories than any
other Territorial paper in America. The
support given it and the encouraging
prospects of the Territory warrants thu
issue of a first class Daily and materis
increase ofmatter in the Weekly. In con
templating the establishment ofa Daily
it was necessary to consider the tacilitie
for obtaining local news, and furnishing
the paper to our readers, offered in the re
spectiye cities of Virginia and Helens

The Globe of Feb. 30 has the House
proceedings of the previous day in Com
mittee of the Whole. The Committee
had under consideration House Bill S18
making appropriations for sundry civil
expenses. The Clerk read as follows:
For surveying the public lands in
Montana Territory at rates not exceed~
ing fifteen dollars for township, and
eight dollars for section lines, 5000"
Mr.. Cavanaugh offered amendments
to have the paragraph read as follows
For surveying the public lands in
Montana Territory at rates not exceed
ing fifteen dollars per ineal mile for
standard lines, twelve dollars tor town
ship, and ten dollars for section lines,
$25, 600" "- .at f-5H -.l#Es
Mr.. Washburne admitted clerical
error in the rates, and the amendments
were adopted except the $4,000. The
committee rejected that and also an
amendment by Mr.. CavEnaugh making
it $4,000. The amount finally allowed
was $4,000 Messrs. Holbrook and
Ashley sustained Mr.. Cayanaugh, and
Mr.. Washburne opposed. The following
are the amounts reported by the Com
mittee, for Oregon and the several Ter
ritories, allowing the same rates for sur
vey as Montana: Washington, $15, 900 /;
Oregon, $25,Oo0; Idaho, $4,000. Colo
rado, S25,000; Montana, $4,000. This
is insufficient to defray the expenses of
necessary surveys in Montana, and as
compared with Colorado is manifest
injustice. We have far more arabic
lands than that Territory, and we think
Mr.. Washburne's distinction against
Montana is unwarranted by the circum-
stances of the case. @

THE CLIO BoREALIs.-It may be well to add
to the statement in regard TO the clio boreals
made in Saturdays Press, that the name oc-
ours in simpsons check list OF the shells
North America and is mentioned by Packard
in his list OF animals dredged off Southern
Labrador as being quite abundant in that re-
gion No allusion is made TO it in Gould's
work upon the Iuvertebrala of Massachusetts,
Ror in any of the volumes of the journal or
Proceedings of tine Boston Society of Natural
History, these publications dating back to
1Si1. De Kay, in the New York Reports,
gives brief description OF it and figure,
which are generally correct. He says that
"this species occurs in almost incredible num-
bers in the Northern Atlantic, where it forms
the ordinary food OF whales. 1t has been OBJ
served occasionally in great numbers in the
bays. In April, 1888, they were very abundant,
and Of blood red color. After few days
they all disappeared" From these facts we
infer that the visits of these animals to our
shores must be OF rare occurrence. That
they have not visited the waters of our
harbor or bay for many years is also well de-
monstrated by the fact that they have not
been observed by Mr.. Fuller, of the Natural
History Society, whose keen eye has ena-
bled him to discover and bring to the notice OF
the society so many of the minute and trans
parent acalephs or jelly-fshes, which, trans
parent as the water itself in which they float,
are very much more difficult 20 detect than
these colored clios.
They will, probably, all disappear after alew
days, not to return, perhaps, for many years,
and it is an interesting subject of inquiry to
ascertain, if possible, whether their visit, as
suggested in Saturdays article, has any rela-
tion to the length and severity of the past
winter. What was the character of the win
ter and spring months OF 1928 in these re-
spects, when these animals We're so abundant
in the bay of New York and probably all
along our northern coast?
