MISREPRESENTATION

There is not q territory in the United
States that has been SO persistently misrepre-
scented by the eastern press as Montana.
Its mineral, agricultural and stock-raising re-
| sources have been underestimate with u
charming consistency that we are som 'times
led to believe that newspaper men in the
eat seldom see a Montana journal, or that
when they do they have little or no conf
dence in its reports OF the territory. In
regard to its locality they have often exhibit
| ed an ignorance that would be considered
deserving of eensure in the ten-year-old
| school boy who runs in their midst. 1t has
been frequently referred to as a county in
some other territory, a.-d geographically
speaking has been placed at every point of
the compass in the great northwest. We
don't care so much about the misconceptions
of our precise boundaries, and can pardon
their ignorance of the great natural wealth
of our territory. Our output of the precious
metals is making itself felt IN the money
markets of the world, while our exports of
beeves and wool are exercising a marked
influence in their respective trade depart
ments. These are potent voices that will
turn the attention of capitalists and those
who desire to make profitable investments in
agricultural or stock-raising pursuits to the
country, and give it a "habltation and a
name among the people of the earth. That
time is rapidly approaching, and we can
afford to await patiently for it. But what
NJ fol-o nv oart;o,o too nd proto oct opaipSt ora
the slanderous charges made against the
large number of our people who are interested
and engaged in mining pursuits. The fol-
lowing paragraph, which we clip from one of
our eastern exchanges, is a fair sample of
some of the articles which 60 the rounds of
the eastern press
Ii pleases the assessment fends and min
ing sharps of Nevada, Montana, Colorado
and California to wax indignant whenever
the press. They col slider such allusions the
height of insolence, and several Of the scou
drels are talking about suing for damages"
The above remarks may apply, for ought we
know, with justice to the /" mining sharps" of
Nevada, Colorado and California, but Montana
should escape the censure which they contain.
We are not aware that Montana has any 'tas.
sessment tiends" whe are engaged IN any
I" thieving operations. In fact, We think it
would be difficult for the writer of the above
precious excerpt to find a single mining
company in Montana that has levied any as
sessment upon its stock, except a very few
that have resortnd to this method for raising
funds for the purpose of building works pre-
paratory to sinking upon their mines or for
crushing or smelling sres. That class of
men generally known as " assessment fiends
and mining sharps," receive such poor en-
enlargement in thist territory that they have
not extended their operations to this section.
We would therefore, most respectfully, but at
the same time emphatic.lly deny the ACCUSE
ton contained in the above paragraph, SO far
as Montana is concerned.

Between II and IL o'clock in the fore

Of Congress street boarding house with
an old gripsack in his hand and cobblt

are mere suppositions, but they were
doubtless in there all the same. When
the strangers ring was answered he in.
dulged in bows, scrapes and smiles, and an.
nounced his readiness to take room and
board in tha house until he could transact

him to Detroit. So ab sF. EI-

you western people are so singular. I've
been in swimming with Senator Smith a

home that found q lady In Detroit who

She seemed to study over The matter,
and he presently continued: .
MAY be that would be too much trouble.
Do Won know The Mayor Of Buffalo?"
"No."
"Sorry-very sorry, because It wouldn't
take ten minutes to telegraph him. We
rent the same pew in church, and our

Some women would have softened un.
der that, but she had had two men climb
out OF the back window, the night before,
owing her ST., and the fattery did not
soften a line in her face. She asked II he
could give local references.
