fraudulent action on the part Of Park

VINO are distressed over what they term the
destruction of the city organization. The
town OF Helena, Montana Territory. there
represented, has population of 5000; is the
trading centre for mining district that
yields Sl5, ,OOO, 900 per annum; the CONNER.
cal metropolis os the territory, aud has all
the characteristics Of a first elias. town Hal
ena' with all her wealth and enterprise has
never known the blessing of mayor, city
marshal, recorder, aud other ornamental an
pendages, yet strange 10 tell, the town fiour-
i7hes and enjoys high degree of prosperity.
Helena has her fire department, supported bv
the contributions of her citizens, and 9 night
watch, paid III the same way. The citizens
OF the town understand that fires can b.
guarded against and the public peace main
tanned without employing a score or two of
Idlers to disburse the money, and acting on
this principle they have on four different oo-
caslohs voted down proposition to organize
a city government. 10 those Of our weeping
Jeremiahs who are bemoaning the destruction
OF the city, we commend this picture Of Hell

ing Of " city ring" and yet rides upon The

IIMIGRATIoE.-Mrs A. II. Stuart. one of
the Commissioners appointed in pursuance of
an act passed at the last session Of the Iegis-
lature, has issued so-called immigration
pamphlet, which will serve the purpose of
misleading persons living in the Eastern
States who may desire to immigrate to this
part of Uncle Sans domain We refer to
that part of her pamphlet wherein she un-
dertakes to indicate the best routes for those
who wish 10 reach Eastern Washington. We
presume her mistake was made through ig-
norance; and if so, the Territory made Il
bad investment when voting her the money
10 publish her pamphlet. The name of O.
I. Lacy appears as one of the commissioners,
but we acquit him of any agency in getting
up the book, for certainly he knows better
than to advise immigrants to " buy through
tickets from Omaha TO San Francisco" I'm
migrants who take that rUuud-a-bout route
rarely reach this section of country

complete the v orks, using solid masonry for
the walls of the canal from one end 10 the
other, whereas the natural walls for most of
the distance, will be, as in a portion of the
the canal at Oregon City, as good as the best
masonry. The OrCgoniaH doubts whether an
appropriation in aid Of the enterprise will be
made at the present session of Congress, and
seems to think that We will have to depend
upon private capital. This means that the
river is to be given over for all time TO come
