THE Bears Tooth was an important
landmark in Montana within sight of
Helena. Recently the eastern tusk
fell. This was perpendicular mass
of rock and earth. fully 500 feet high,
800 feet in circumference at its base
and about $50 feet at the top. Some
hunters visited the locality and found
that this immense mass had become
dislodged, and coming down with the
speed of an avalanche had swept
through a forest of large timber for
quarter of mile, entirely leveling
it. The country around is now COW
cred with great mass of broken
trees and tons upon tons Of rocks,
many OF them as large as an ordi-
nary house.-[Helena Independent.

A HORSESHOE is now being adopte

A HORSESHOE is now being adopted
which is made of cowhide and is
known as the Yates shoe. 1t il com
posed of three thicknesses of cow
hide compressed into a steel mould,
and then subjected to a chemical
preparation. 1t is claimed for 1t that
it lasts longer and weighs only one
fourth as much as the common iron
shoe; that it will never cause the
hoof to split, nor have the least in
furious influence ON the foot. 1t re-
quires no calks; even on asphalt the
horse never slips. The shoe is so
elastic that the horses step is lighter
and surer. 1t adheres SD closely to
the foot that neither dust not water
can penetrate between the shoe and
hOof.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

The House Committee on Educa.
ton and Labor. have made a report
on the subject of Chinese immigra-
ton, accompanied by the following
preamble and resolution:
WHEREAS, 1t appears that the great
majority of Chinese immigrants are
unwilling to conform to our institu-
tons, 10 become permanent residents
Of our country, and accept the rights
or assume the responsibilities of citi-
zenship; and whereas, they have in
dicated no capacity to assimilate with
our people; therefore,
Resolved, That the President of the
United States be requested to open
correspondence immediately with the
Governments of China and Great
Britain, with the view Of securing a
change or sbrogat;on Of all stipula.
tions In existing treaties which per-
init unlimited immigration of Chi
nese to the United States.
It should not be understood that
this action is final. 1t may very pos
sibly be supplemented at al early
date by recommending legislation
such as Is proposed by the bill of
Davis, or similar measures, imposing
capitation tax, and restricting the
number of MongoliaDs admissible
on any one vessel. Prominent mem
bers of the committee say such sup
Elementary action is not only posi-
BILE, but highly probable.

National Labor Platform,

The reduction of the hours of labor.
Higher wages.
Factory, mine and workshop in
spection.
Abolition of the contract convict
labor and truck systems.
Employers to be held responsible
for accidents by neglected machinery
Prohibition Of child labor.
The establishment of labor bu-
reaus.
Labor propagandism by means of
labor lecturers, the employment of a
labor press, labor lectures, the en-
pl"yment of general organizer, and
the final abolition of the wage system.
The methods by which We propose
to secure these measures are:
1st. The formation of an Amalga-
mated Union of labnrers, so that
members of any calling can combine
under central head, and form part
of the Amalgamated Trades Unions.
I'd. The establishment of general
fund for benefit and protective pur-
poses.
Sd. The organization of all work
ingmcn in their trade unions where
none exist.
4th. The national and interna-
tional amalgamation of all labor
unions.

LATER details of the recent TRACE
dy at Lone Pine, Inyo county, show
that it resulted in a general cleanup
of bad men in that camp. First a
Mexican killed an Indian and then
took refuge in the saloon of Frank
Dabeeney, who kept a notorious re-
sort for thieves and desperadoes. No
officer being in town, three citizens
went to Dabeeney's saloon, which
they found closed and in darkness, to
arrest the murderer, but were refused
admission. It was then learned that
Sheriff Passmore was in town; he was
sent for, and on going to the saloon,
making himself known and demand
ing admission, two shots were
fred from the inside and the Sheriff
fell dead. The citizens by this time
had collected in considerable num-
Der, and the house was surrounded
and besieged during the night. The
inmatss--Debeeney, Brazil, Palacio
and Carlos-were all sent to their
final accounting. About noon word
was brought into town that Carlos
Firman and Austacio Santillo, two
more of the gang, had been killed
four miles south of town. The citi-
zens held meeting and gave public
notice that no one of this class would
be allowed to open the house again.
