A ROCKY MOUNTAIN GLACIER.
Discovery by Professor PumpelIy.s
Party.
From the Helena tMont Independent.

From the Helena Mont Independent.
10 PROFESSOR Candy, member OF Pumpelly's
Northern Transcontinental Survey party, we are
indebted for the following account Of the dis
covery Of a glacier by the party and descrp-
ton Of the country around the Upper Marias
Pass, between the headwaters OF the Flathead
river, west of the Rocky mountain range, and
Cut Bank creek. east of the same. The locality
is about $50 miles north of Missoula.
Professor Candy says that on the LIST of August
the party. after having left the Upper Flathead
| river (about 80 miles above the lake, entered
the gorge that leads up the mountain to the
Pass. This is walled in by steep mountains,
which are crowned by rugged prec;pices thou
| sands of feet in height, sometimes terminating
In knife-like edges. and sometimes running up
into sharp. rugged cones, which make the
sky lines of the mountains most varied and
picturesque
At the summit of the Pass three main amphi-
tneaters come together They are nesTly horse
shoe in shape. From the Pass there are in full
view ten or twelve high peaks. often running
up into regular sharp rocky cones.
Some ten or fifteen miles away, looking to the
westward, great mass of saow-covered noun
tans were in view. and below these SUBMITS
was seen n true glacier having frontage of at
least mile, and in some places face estimated
at 800 feet in height. From underneath this
glacier flows stream of milky-colored glacier
water.

| penetrated the amphitheater in which this glacier
lies. and counted twenty-five cascades over 500
| feet in height. besides seeing many smaller ones
The sides OF the mountains which surround this
amphitheater are covered with deep bodies of
snow, which are the sources of the many streams
flowing into the valleys below.
There was but little snow on the Pass. and
with care it was not difficult TO cross In descend
ing the eastern side of the mountains the gorge
presents some remarkably lofty and stupcndous
precinices. Those gentlemen of the party who
had visited the Yosemite Valley considered the
scenery of Marias Pass to be of a more varied
| character and grander in every respect.
The summit Of the Pass was found TO be $500
feet above the sea level. We shall wait with
much interest for a more thorough and complete
survey of this new and wonderful mountain dis

state Regulation of Corporate Profit,

State Regulation of Corporate Profits
Judge Cooley, of Michigan, in an able article
in the North American. Recieac on the subject of
corporate profits and their CO. 4vol by the state,
uses these words: Is
'It is not alone in the matter of railway
regulation that law-making is likely to be ILL
advised and detrimental to both public and
private interests. The supply of public conve-
nences to cities is commonly monopoly, and
the protection of the public against excessive
charges is to be found first, in the fact that low
prices generally extend the market, and, second
in the municipal power Of control. Except in
very large cities, public policy requires that for
supplying light or water there should be but
one corporation because one can perform the
service at less rates than two or more, and in
the long RIM will be certain to do So But
scheming men make periodical attacks upon
corporations existing for these and similar pur-
poses, and with popular cry for their watch
word they can always enlist local interest in
their favor. Ifthey succeed in obtaining rival
franchise, the subsequent history is commonly
this: A war of rates for season, and then
either sale Of one franchise to the owners of
the other, or division of the territory, or an
agreement upon charges. The final result is
that the two supply the market at g. greater
cost than the one, and the additional cost is
paid by the public. Whoever expects that a de-
structive competition is to be continued in
definitely must have a faith In the integrity and
public virtue of local boards which experience
scarcely justifies. The legislation which ex-
poses great property. invested In public en-
terprise, to disastrous risks offers q direct
temptation to irregular and crooked pro-
ceedings. If men solicit from q city council a
franchise which they cannot legitimately make
profitable, it is natural inference that they
propose either to use 1t as trading property of
In some way to find their profit in the manipu-
lation OF future councils"
