strong minority, where, if they use the ability
they certainly possess, and agree on a policy
they may be Of great use to the country.

THE action of Mr.. Mason, Surveyor Gen
eral of Montana, in introducing, at the con-
yention of Surveyors General at Salt Lake,
q land grabbing resolution must undoubtedly
receive the condemnation Of the well wishers
of this Territory. Words cannot properly
express the indignation which Mason's reso-
luton created in this community. From his
actions in connection with this section of
Montana, we considered him a person of
biased c0uVlctions-one whose judgment
could be swayed by influence, not necessari-
" within the province of his office ; but that
he could become the open dupe of land grab
bers we did not imagine, or what is just as
bad, that he was himself a land grabber.
That he is one or the other is now evident.
We would prefer to think otherwise, but his
recent action, taken in connection with the
reports which he has written relative to this
section, dispels all doubt that might charita-
bly, be entertained. What portion of Cbo-
teau county does Mr.. Mason view with NIX
ious eye is it the valley of the Teton, Of
which he makes particular mention, or does
he prefer the Marias ; perhaps he covets the
ranges of the Highwood and Belt, or will he
extend his grab to cover the Bears Paw and
Milk river range? Arrow creek might suit
him, but it is already grabbed. Following
the favorable Interpretation of desert lands
by the Commissioner, the action Of Mr..
Mason admits of no explanation. He should
be consistent and take his place among the
land grabbers in other words he should
step down and out from q position where q
man of his ideas can be Of no possible ser
vice to the people at large.

ioices with her in forming the inks IN q part
Of the great transcontinental railroad which
in a few years will unite the North Paclhc
ocean with the unsalted seas, and bind to-
gether and cement more closely the ominon
interest of the two great Territories OF the
Northwest Dakota and Montana.
Col. Thompson, of Bismarck, represented
Dakota, and in a neat speech turned the
building of the road over to Montana, hoping
she would encourage and advance it as Da-
kota had done.
This completes the road 1853 miles west OF
the Missouri river. The grading is nearly
done to Glendive, and If the weather contln-
ues fair trains will run to that point this win
ter. One of the spikes will be sent BACK to
Helena and the other to President Billings.

1t is premature to saddle the weight OF such
schemes as this upon the incoming admins
~tratiun, and we DO not believe that, with all
the owe which has lately accrued to the
Republican party, it would dare TO take the
responsibility for such . series Of measures,
which can only represent the interests OF the
bondholding class, and place borrowers OF
money in their absolute control, and which
would be destructive to all enterprise from
the poorer classes, and place all the business
OF the country into capitalists hands. Yet
this has been the policy Of that party for
several years past, and there is no Disgusting
the fact that all the efforts Of this powerful
moneyed influence will be brought to bear
upon the entire government to carry out this

TIM people of Choteau county, believing
that the resources Of the Territory would
prove sufficient inducement, have always
persistentlyopposed granting subsidies to out
side corporations to build railroads 10 Mon
tana. The correctness Of such q policy and
the wisdom Of such opposition is now about
to be favorably demonstrated. The Northern
Pacific will in Q very short period be built
across the Territory the intention Of push
ing a road through on the north bank Of the
Missouri will in all probability soon assume
permanent shape and the completion Of tbs
Utah Northern will connect US with both
Eastern and Western markets without one
