The most enesnssing Of Ill maa!aS 10 a.
Montana Our neighbours Of Helcn4 have

the conirsry We take the word OF ~;
East Side journals that it RACES oil over

resolves pass by unanimous "tc. the p"'
i,eEs teen with argument and exOrdium and
East Siden who c0mc over into our ami.
subsidy region talk railroad" with , vehe
u,ence that snrpasscs enthusiasm. The Hon.
sasiss and Herald open guns on the New
MORN. WEsr and gentlemen who hsve
opinions diverse from theirs, and We ore
notified to fall into line or get blown out OF
wafer.
All this comes of . suddenly developed
idea in Helena that north and south r"iI>
rad must be built ut once to connect that
city with Utah. Just how It 10 to built,
whether Ivy heavy subsidy, by j"'nt stock
subscriptions, by the Central Pacific or BY
come process not yet made public, is - yet
undetermined. Tie Gazette says the ide" 10
= sponisncity, asyet crudcand chaotic with
nut any dcfiscd method Of procedure. And
yet forsooth, because We did not toss our
cap in Dir to the 81 900. 900 subsidy At first
designed u be granted In Territorial bonds,
because VIC would not bring the New NORTH
WEST into support Of chaotic project. our
contemporaries come for our ssslp anil the
Yoasasian iniimstes We ore subsidized by
the Northern Paciac-s company Il would
have the people 70 believe 10 % short OF
funds that work will have 10 bs suspended,
and IN it, stead narr0w>gsuge must be
built to Utah.
Now, of oil furores and manias that lead
communities In haste " DO that which they

offer NO objection. That 10 their business.
Our position thus being reiterated, We hold
