THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
The Senate Committee Opposed to Extending
the Time.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-At to-day's
meeting OF the Senate Committee on Rail-
roads, it was very distinctly intimated by
the four Southern members that they will
net allow favorable report TO be made on
the bill 70 extend tue time for the compile
ton of the Northern Pacific Railroad, un-
less the committee by the same vote author
ize favorable report on the bill to extend
the time for the completion of the Texas
Pacific. This arrangement will probably
be agreed TO at the next meeting and both
bills viii doubtless be reported back 10 the
Senate on the same day. The friends of
the Northern Pacific bill intend to press it
forward for action during the present ses-
SION, but the Texas Pacific people are I'M
derstood to prefer hat their measure shall
remain on the calendar until next winter,
by which time they expect 1t will have
gained strength by reason of the construc-
ton Of several hundred miles OF road IN
Western Texas now under contract.
New YoaK, March 1.-The Tribune
says there ought to be no question as to
the passage of the bills pending 10 Con-
gress to extend the tins for the completion
of the Northern Pacific aud Texas Pacific
Railroads. A great deal OF work has been
done on both Of these important lines, and
both are now being pushed rapidly for
ward. The panic of 1878 and the long
depression which followed are more re-
sponsible for the delay Ia completing them
than any lack Of zeal on the part of their
managers.

ARTESIAN WELLS.
Colorado the Pet of Congress.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE bill pass
ed by tho Senate to-day for reclamation Of
arid lands is the bill introduced by Hill, of
Colorado, amended by reducing tile extent
OF tue experiment to the sinking of two
artesian wells east of the Rocky
Mountains instead of providing as
was first proposed for FIVE wells, three of
which we're to have been sunk west Of the
Rocky Mountains. The government ex-
penditures for this purpose will therefore
be made in Colorado. The amount appro-
priated is $1,000 Tue bill was am nded
SO as to provide that four square miles of
land shall be wi hdra8n from disposal
around the site of each of these wells I'M
til the government shall deem it proper to
release said reservations. These ameud.
ments were agreed upon between Hull and
several other Senator's, who would other
wise have delayed or perhaps defeated the
bill, and whose objections he thus obviated
in advance of it's consideration.

Several ex-members of the Mounted Pc.

ranches in the great Northwest. These
young meu are of good families, who left

the expectation Of returning home at the

rapidly become attached to western life,
and are now turning their acquired knowl-
edge Of the country to good account by
selecting the choicest locations along the
foot hills of the Rocky alouutaius to build
their homes upon. Ia a few short years the
NorGh-West will develop into fine min
eral, agricultural aad pastoral region, and
it will be all owing to tie adventureis who

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Majority of a House Com nittee Opposed to Ex-
tending .he Charter.

WAsHINGToN, March 1.-THE bill to
extend the tine for The completiCn Of the
Nortberu paclfic Railroad was referred to
a subcommittee Of the House Committee
on va llroads, consisting OF Ellis, Chalmers,
Wiloer. Newbsrry and Harmer. This COM
mittee bas been idle until to-day, when IL
was called together, and Ellis submitted
some of the report, which took strong
grounds against the passage Of the bill on
the ground tn " tho Northern Pacific had
forfeited all it's claims TO abont 100000
acres Of land, aud recommended that 1t be
either opsne for settlement or transferred
to some other company. There are indica-
tions that tue views of Ellis were concur
red in By Chalmers aud WILDER, but they
were dissented from with emphasis by
Newberry aud Harmer. Tue reading Of
the report was not completed aud 20 ac-
ton was taken. 1t is understood that the
Union and Central Pacific interests bave
been quietly working against this bill
while the Northern Pacific people have
been asleep, the object Of the former being
doutle fest, to prevent the competition
that will come from the completion Of
the Northern Pacific, aud second, to -.
curs for what is known as the -Walla

The afternoon session opened with 4 chO-
rus. Miss Netus Emerson then brought
forward class of lItrls girls and led them
through very interesting exercise in num-
beers. The subject chosen was Fractions.
Their ecitation was almost perfect and
showed how this difficult subject may be
mastered by small children under teacher
sufficiently skillful.
Mr.. ]. Z. Marcum then carried the sub-
ject farther By discussion and illustrations
of his method of teaching fractions, clear
ing up for little folks the difficulties there.
of. Dir. Howell gave his method Of teach
ing division of fraction. Miss Hutchins
followed, giving her ideas clearly.
The next was as essay by Miss IONA Bat
tPrton, "W0mau's Work III the school

Is he hand that Tul the world"
Children are to obtain their moral tram,

IS ordinarily the stronger. Ii may be OBJ.
jectrd that she has not strength for govern
ing the boys, but she can touch their cbiv-
alric nature and gain greater influence.
Woman has proven herself the equal if not
the superior of man in every intellectual

an influence over them that man cannon

DEER LODGE COUNTY TEACHERS INsTI.
TUTE.
Annual Meeting for 1880.
-Reported for the New Northwest

Reported for the New North-w2st.--
BUTTE, March 10, lSS0.-The Institute
opened at 10 a. m. Today. There were
present, Prof. Howell, Miss Mary Howell
aud MISS Bessie Bartlett all from Virginia
City, Miss Carson from Twin Bridges, the
Deer Lodge teachers, the Butte teachers
and others from different portions OF the
county. Territorial Superintendent Smith
was present during the session. County
superintendent Hardenbrook opened the
exercises with a short ertemp0rs address.
He referred to the first meeting OF an In
sLItute in this county aud TO the fact that
Prof. Smith and himself we're the only ones
now present who attended that session. In
a very happy way DO spoke a few words OF
welcome aud then gave hopeiu review OF
the present condition of the county schools.
On motion, MIR. Hardeabrook was made
President and MISS Emma Butcher Vice
President for the following year: Miss Sa-
die Hurchins. Secretary; Miss May Searles,
Assistant, and Prof. Il. 3. Hassell, Treas
urer.
After some time occupied in arguing the
constitution, appointment of committees,
ETC., Miss May eearles read an essay on the
subject Of Giving Prizss in Schools. she
took the Affirmative aud said in substance:
We are all going TO school. Adam and Eve
strove for prize. Every man is striving
for prize. We do not work for the love
Of work, but for some prize. Human ma.
ture is the same in all. 4 chld takes books
as task, drudgery. Just offer him Il
prize and there is life infused. He sees
something ahead. He has some motive for
| work. He strives he wins. In country
where so so much Is required of a child, the
dull routine of work is not sufficient. The
essay was we'll written and the affirmative
| we'll sustained. The subject was then dis
cussed at large by Messls. Reed, Hasseit.
| Martin, and Howell. The general tendency
| of the argument was that there are higher
aud vastly better methods Of accomplish
ing what ought To be acc 'mplIshrd; that
| the true teacher IN tho onn who INSPIRES his
pupils with love of knowledge. All others
| are task masters The teacher who must
Use prizes cannot succeed. Prof. Smith
then tpok ground with he essay, holding
that ptize-giviul: has legitimate and wOr-
thy place.
