season given an open rate to- Mon

nificant.

been presented during the past few

prising, il fact it would only be
natural to suppose that those WHO.
would in the least degree receive
benefit thereby would at some time
have given public expression or
acknowledgement Of the merits
upon which profits or advancement
wele based. With peculiar busl-
ness tact, our former opposition
friends have awakened to the folly
Of Withholding proper acknowledge
ment and recognition Ct the IL
ducements that this route affords
to Montana freigh1ers and Mon
tana shipments. Business rivalry
while it exists always proves to De
the very worst description Of jeal-
.ousy, in some instances may lead
to the formation Of q prejudlcial
feeling, but. with the same rapldity
that forces such conclusions is the
liberal spirit that underlies almost
every enterprise Of Montana re,
suscitated. Our Carroll route
friends mean to take advantage OF
this route this season as long as
the stage Of water permits. We hope
that their partial connection with
the Benton route will prove as ad.
yantageous to them as it has and
will prove this season to other for
warders and freighters.

MEETING OF THE SCHOOLTRUS.
TEES

The Trustees of this school dis
trict held a meeting on Tuesday
last, but owing to the absence OF
one Of the members the matter of
building a school house was laid
over for a few days. The Trustees
are aware Of the necessity Of erect
ing f1 j suitable building for school
purposes and they propose to lay
the question before the people ct
the district at an early day. Their
intention to call for public expres-
sion on the necessity Of this step.
and the amount that they would
be justified in ezpending for the
building Of a school house is q very
commendable one, and the result
will prove that the people are in
favor Of q iudicious investment OF
public funds and agreeable to the
levy Of 4 tax 70 meet such ezpendi-
ture.
Though agreeing with the course
that the Trustees intend topursueI
there IS really no occasion to call
for any expression beyond that
which would be delivered at the,
polls. The law IS conclusive % the

the members accused each other OF working
for the Democrats. of stealing school money,
and Of lying. Senator Cochran made some
Of his nhrewd litsle speeches, intended to
tickle the ear Of the Demoorats, but which,
though, apparently conservative. had no

Interpretation. He offered resolutions en-.
