THE HUNTLEY CASE.

| The quarrel between the Huntley Bros.
has at length resulted in G. c. Charley
Huntley, or his representatives, bringing
suit against s. s. ("Si") for large sums of
money alleged to be due Charley by Isl +"
on collections made for mail service, and
which Charley alleges "Si" did not account
for when they dissolved. "Si says he col
lected 100000 from the Department In the
past four years, but that he had to put up
not only for heads of departments, but
clerks and messengers and members of the
press, and that he paid the hotel bill Of the
Governor Of Montana for week at the Ar
lington, and the hotel bill of the Governor
Of wyoming, and that he had to make pres
ents to "nearly everybody" These things
he says, aggregated $4,000, but he had only
put in a bill for $4,000. ."..
Governor Potts, being interviewed by the
Independent on Tuesday concerning this
matter, says that he was appointed Governor
in 1870; that shortly after he came the
Huntleys presented him with petition sign
by over 100 persons, including two judges
Of the Supreme Court, Delegate Cavanaugh,
and Delegate Garfield, of Washington Ter
ritory, asking the establishment of q mail
route between Missoula and Walla Walla;
that he Endorsed it, as he has always indoors
ed applications for mail service signed by the
people to be served; that he made no recon-
mendations as to contractors or compensa-
ton that this was the only Recommendation
he had ever made that he knew of in which
tie Huntleys had become interested; that he
did not know what service was paid on the
route, as that and awarding the contract was
the business Of the Postoffice Department
that he was no more in the employ of the
Huutleys than ofany and all other contractors
who had received awards on routes he had
recommended; that he never stopped at
the Arlington until 1879; that he paid his
own hotel bill at the Arlington; that Hunt
ley never paid hotel bill for him anywhere,
and that he was under no greater obligation
to him than any other who had signed the |
petition. D 1000" ...r"nv. ra' a.saT
We think the facts are I" 81 has got into |
" hot corner" and is pretty brisk in gene
ralities, without naming people, to account
for the disappearance Of large sums of mon
sy. He should bemore explicit and be care
'ul not to make mistakes. We remember
he petition the Huntleys circulated in 1910
when accompanying Mr.. Gavanaugh, and
hat it received large number of signatures
n Deer Lodge, including, probably, ours.
We would like Mr.. HuntIey to state specif-
ally If any Of those ever cost him any
money. Newspaper men are frequently
ssked to approve and advocate the establish
nent of mail routes, as We have frequently
lone, and we must see IL it is necessary to
AXE sworn statement from possible con-
ractors that we were not "bought up" We
wish 81 " would refer to his books and tell
all he knows about "greasing mail routes.

Army Explanation.

NEW YoRK, December 16.--A Washington
correspondent thus explains the order assign
ing Hancock to duty: According to brevet
rank, Col. Getty, of the Third Artillery, is
in command at Fortress Monroe, with the
brevet rank of Major General. He was bre-
yetted on the same day with Hancock and
before Hancock was made full Major Gene
raj, and consequently as long as the order
under which he was brevetted lasts he ranI-s
Hancock, whose brevet as Major General
ceased when he became Major General in
fact. His rank by brevct, however, took
precedence over Getty's brevet rank, and it
now restored to avoid possible complica-
ton in impending army changes.

DUBLIN, Dec. 21.-At the meeting of the
Land League the contributions of Bence
Jones to the English press were denounced
as ISLANDERS. Davitt stated If the government
prohibited all League meetings the executive
would summon its branches to meet every
fortnight and as that would mean 400 meet
ings every second week it would be interest

required to suppress them.

GENERAL ANDERSON, Chief Engineer OF
the Northern Pacific, returned TO Bismarck
Monday night, having just completed his
trip across the continent on the line of the
road. He left the end OF the Missouri divis-
ion on the 5thTof September and arrived at
the Pacific coast on the 3lst Of October. He
travelled continuously as far as HIS pack train
could travel each day. He made but two
stops-one NJ Helena and one at Portland,
Or. Good weather and health greeted him
during the entire trip. The Northern Pacif-
&c passes through some of'the finest valleys
In the world. The General says the Deer
Lodge valley Is the handsonest spot he. ever
saw. There are many places In the Rocky
Mountains where tile snow-tipped peaks are
ever visible fro m tire valleys through which
the Northern Pacific wilfwind It's way, but
noneiof theni'so grand''as the Deer Lodge

Butte wasfully as lively and about the same
size. II was through this country that high

oats and 81 cents for hay was considered a
reasonable price by the ranchers. Fertile

crops may be considered sure without artif-
cial moisture, but west aof that point for 800
miles there Is seldom q drop of rain except
in the valleys, yst the General considers this
land fully as good as that Of Dakota and
Eastern Montana. Theinnumerable springs,
streams, ETC., In the mountains afford abund-
ant resources Yor artificial irrigation and at a
nominal expense. In the mountains COM
paratively little snow was sencountercd, and
