monde took the notion from the grand monde,
or nice uersa, it Is hard to say; they always

cut shoes now worn give one ample, oppor,
say that as many OF these ladies can hardly
tell their right from their left, the fashion OF
"pink and white" will be Of practical use

From a returning Montanian the Independ-
ent has the following concerning the U. N.
r. r.
The warehouses of the Montana Co.,
Whites and the Northwestern Co.. were all
full of Montana freights, and trains were
being loaded for the Territory as fast as pos
sible, and many others waiting to be loaded.
More goods were still coming, and the trains
of the Utah Northern were running to their
full capacity The average rate of freights to
Helena was from $1.75 to s. per hundred
pounds.
Grading Oh the narrow gauge has been
completed 35 miles north of the present ter
minus and the track laid to Summit Station,
near the Montana and Idaho line. Track
laying was comparatively suspended for want
of iron. but work will be resumed in about
ten days, as iron was forwarded from New
York on the 18th inst. As soon as the iron
arrives the track will be laid into the Red
Rock valley, Montana, and the terminus re-
moved to that point for the winter, unless the
company conclude to push the road forward
at once. Supt. Dunn had received a telegram
from New York asking if he could grade
thirty miles further this season, and the gem
eral impression is that the road will be pushed
on into the interior of MOntaC ca as rapidly as
possible. There seems now no question that
Montana is the ultimate destination + this
road, as connection with Oregon has been
found impracticable by way OF the Beaver
head, and surveying parties are now employed
IN surveying the Oregon route from the vicin-
ity of Port Neuf Canon.

The Fire Meeting.

At Monday evenings meeting of the Fire
where, the fate of the Silsby steamer will be
decided on, so far at least as Butte is con-
cerncd. Without having received any posi-
tive assurances to that effect, we understand
steamer is at the disposal Of Butte, if Butte
wants it, if not either Deer Lodge or Helena will
take it off our hands. We have no very large
amount of advice to bestow gratis upon our
fellow citizens touching this matter, but we
will remark that if we choose to keep the
steamer, water for its use can be provided in
three weeks. Cisterns can be filed wherever
the city or public chooses to dig them. On
the other hand, if we let it 60, no hydraulic
system can be provided until next summer,
while in the meantime we are exposed at any
time to the danger of a fire in which property
amounting to the value of a hundred such en-.
gines may be consumed. Suppose such a fire
to come. Who will step forward and say that
he took upon himself the responsibility of
sending away the Silsby and leaving the city
unprotected? Whether this credit be claimed
Or not in such contingency, it will not fail to
be given, should that contingency ARISE. If
Butte is left to bemoan in tears and ashes her
short-sighted %plcayunish policy, be sure that
those who have advised her to adopt that pol
icy will be held responsible for it before the
public.

1t was a w~oodpile. That was the begin
ming of it. There is something curious about
woodpiles. They are very elastic. The
cord which your woodman brings you dwin-
dies down to half a cord when you measure
il. 1t is very s%hrinkable. Naturally men
differ about the size of a %woodpile. SO did
these men. Now one way to settle the
amount of fuel is to leave it to a reliable sur
veyor. That in fact is what our surveyor
generals are created for. But there is no va
riety in such a method of settling disputes.
The latest method is to take a square fight on
it. This was the method adopted. But the
eye of the ever vigilgant guardian of the
peace is ever open. Before the momentous
question had a respectable chance of settle
ment, the boys retreated before the arm of
the law. The limbs of law are long, and
the race was in vain. Twenty dollars and
costs was the verdict.
