On motion of Cullen the vote by which the
house refused to concur in G G r No 5, [see
above,) was reconsidered.
Cullen moved to amend by striking out 'sthe
president of the senate and speaker of the
house of representatives" and inserting, "our
delegate in congress- He explained the pur-
pose of the amendment.
Blake said that our delegate had never fail
ed to notify us through the press whenever any
bill concerning Montana had passed con-
gress. He had even heard it intimated that
he sometimes claimed credit for measures
which he had not, in fact, forwarded. But
he was certain that Major Maginnis was do
ing everything possible for this bill, and that
we would be advised promptly of any final
action.
The amendment was adopted and the reso
luton as amended was concurred in.

BY Glen, II B SO. a bill for an act to amend
section 1902 of the fifth division of the revis-

Blake moved to amend by striking out from
the list of exempted classes of property the
words "except those held under patent from
he United States, the effect of the amend
ment being to exempt from taxation mines
that are patented as well as those that are
not.
Cullen thought that the exemption was suf-
ticiently liberal already.
Blake could never see why unpatented
mines are exempted and patented mines are
taxed. For himself he was in favor of tax
ing all mines at the rate which the govern
ment charged, namely, S. per acre.
DeWolfe thought that the present law Gre
ates a distinction for which no reason ex-
lists.
Chambers said that homestead and pre-.
emption claims were not taxed until patent.
ed. 1t seemed to him that the SAME principle
should apply to mining claims.
Harrington expressed the same view of the
question.
The amendment was rejected and the bill
referred to the committee on ways anc
means.

REV. w. 5. WRIGHT, pastor of tho
Dodgeville NJ. e. church died at his
residence in that village last Thurs
day of hem orrhage of the bowels.
The gloom which his death occasion
ed in that community may be real
lied by reading the following taken
from the Chronicle.
'In his death, our community loses
citizen of spotless character, q
kind friend and neighbor, a leader
in every good and worthy work;
the church, an able advocate, an
industrious, faithful and aflectionate
pastor; his family kind, doting,
faithful, helpful husband and father,
upon whom they could lean with
unfaltering reliance. All deeply
feel his loss, but how much more
heavily must it fall upon Che widow
ed wife and orphaned children.
We can only tender them our SYM
patty and trust that lis God, who
bore him up while passing through
sthe valley of the shadow, may sus-
tain them through the gloom of
their unutterable sorrow at his loss. .
