Hon. Martin Maginnis and wife reach
ed Boseman on Thursday and were
guests at the house of Walter Cooper.
They left for their home in Helena on
Friday. The Hon. gentleman expressed
great surprise at the rapid growth and
development Of the county since last
here. He will go east again in July to
meet the commission appointed to visit
Montana, to look into the condition of
the different Indian reservations. It
will be his aim to make such arrange
ments to cut down the Crow reservation
90 a. to throw it entirely east of the Big
Horn; also reduce the Flathead and
Blackfeet reservations, thereby throwing
large amount Of land open for settle
ment. We trust that the visit of this
commission will result in great good to
our Territory and have the effect as above
stated Of adding great deal more land
to the public domain. The Indian res
ervations of Montana embrace much val
liable land of no practical value to the
Indian, in fact much more than they
have any use for. It is only a question
of time when they will have to adapt
themselves to habits of civilization and
lands allotted to them for farming and
grazing purposes.

The greatest difficulty has been en-
countered in the efforts of the officers to
enforce the law in regard to opium smok-
ing. The rule has been that one is en-
titled to smoke opium in his own house
without interference, and when one has
been caught in the act, unless he be a
white man, it is hard to prove it is not
his residence. The Chinese are accus-
toned to living in large numbers in
small tenements, and when arrested they
will swear that they live there. No
white man caught in such place can
swear to such thing. The evil is get
ting strong hold in America, and from
all accounts is more demoralizing and
dangerous in it's effects than alcohol. We
think an officer who has marked out
such place and satisfied himself that it
is used % an opium den is entirely justi-
fable, II refused immediate admittance,
in breaking down the doors, and in using
al means at his disposal to enforce the
law and arrest this growing tendency to
use the fatal drug. Like the efforts of
temperance reformen to Danish alcohol
It cannot be expected to utterly destroy
the vice, but they can reduce the oppor-
tunities Of INDUCING in it. There is a

Under article five of the act to incor-
porate the town Of Bozeman and defining
the powen Of the city council. Section
twenty-five reads a. follows: ITO licenss,
tax and regulate auctioneeB, merchants,
peddlen, retailers, tayerns, hotels, bakers,
restaurants, drinking saloons, billiard
halls, hswkers, brokers. pawnbrokers,
gambling houses, bankers, assay Offices,
professional men, barber shops, Livery
stables. wash houses or laundries, insur-
anee agencies, photograph galleries, and
theatrical and other exhibitions, and
other amusements, and all branches of
business. Provided, No license levied or
imposed by the city council shall exceed
in amount one-fourth Of the license re-
quired to be paid by the statutes of this
Territory for like business" We have
called attention to this because a bust
ness man showed US his license for doing
business, which is identically the same
- that charged by the Territory. While
the license collected Yves the same as that
provided for by ordinance No. IL, it is
clear that the Territory have not charged
enough or that the ordinance in that
particular is in conflict with the act of
incorporation. We hope the city council
will look into this matter and 90 amend
ordinance No. IL, az to comply with the
authority granted them.

Children's Day.

A very large congregation attended the
Methodist Church last Sunday morning
and evening to witness the exercises Of
the Sunday school children. At least
twenty bird cages were suspended in
various parts of the Church, and beauti-
full occupants filled the edifce with their
warbling songs. The exercises which
consisted of responsive readings, inter-
spersed with songs especially composed
for the occasion, which was observed
throughout the world, we're of a very in
teresting and pleasing character. Mr..
Graham, in the morning read an original
paper, in which he gave the audience the
benefits of a careful research in statistics
and the children some profitable advice.
This is, we believe, the first occasion that
the "Children's Day" has ever been OBJ
served in Bozeman, and if we can judge
by the appearance of the little ones it
was hugely enjoyed by them, and must
necessarily redown to the credit of the
worthy pastor and those who mutually
assisted by the loan of birds and the gift
of the beautiful wild flowers, whose frag-
rance filled the air. Those of US who At
tended Sunday school some years ego
can see a vast difference, the Sabbath
school of those days we're devoid of half
the interest of those now-a-day, and the
influence for good must be far greater.

tons all the more. We are publishing,
besides local matters, history Of the
early settlement of Eastern Montana and
perpetuatlng thereby, the record of the
brave struggles of its early pioneers in
opening up for settlement, country in
which the hostile Indians, but few

On Thursday last we took ride over
to Livingston and had the pleasure Of
spending an hour or two at that live an
enterprising place. We noted a great
change since our last visit and were
struck with the evidences of substantial
prosperity to be seen on every hand. The
rude and temporary structures of a few
morlths ago have given place to hand
some and imposing business houses. The
former town OF Clarke City has drifted
towards the depot and the streets lead
ing away from the railroad track are be-
ing built up into blocks Of business
houses, as well as the street running
parallel with the road. In our great
hurry we were not able to make as an
extended visit as we would have liked.
As it was, we consumed our time in d.
costing very good meal at the Mer-
chants Hotel, and then made short calls
on our brethren of the quill. c. A. Car
son has moved his Office near the depot
and close to the above named hotel; has
more convienant and comfortable quar-
tiers and is making the pioneer paper Of
Livingston q power for good in their
midst and while we trust they may fully
appreciate his efforts and sustain him
cordially, we hope they will not overlook
the efforts of Messrs. Wright 4 Hcndry,
who have boldly taken the bull by the
horns and launched out into daily, the
first copy of which reached our sanctum
Thursday. We had the plearuse Of meet
ing the gentlemen at their Office, which
is neat and new, and if we mistake not,
they have the qualities necessary to in
sure success. The CHRONICLE assures
them of it's hearty good will. We also
met Mr.. W. D. knight of the Yellowstone
Journal, who is also on the ground with
an outfit, and ere now has launched an
other aspirant for public favor in the
field. His well known versatility as a
writer and his pluck and staying quail
ties are sufficient to guarantee success in
the near future. To the citizens Of Liv-
ingston we would say. Patronize and
encourage all these enterprises. They
will do you more good than you are
aware of. Their influence is widespread
and far-reaching. What better adver-
tisement could Livingston have in the
east. than to say, it has three newspapers
and that they all flourish. May they all
prosper and live in peace, harmony and
brotherly love.

CONFIDENCE OF THE FUTURE.

1t is gratifying to note the feeling OF
hope and confidence springing up all
around in the future greatness of Monta-
ma, and particularly that in which our
lines haye been cast. We have all ap-
preciated the natural conditions and
have looked forward with hope and con-
fidence that they would certainly bring
forth legitimate fruits, but natural con-
ditions and resources must be made
known and advertised to bring forth
speedy results. Life is too short, and in
America too real and active and enter
prising to await the slow process Of ma
tural causes. One must be up and doing
and unless enterprise and capital take
hold of natural resources and advantages
and turn them into available assets we
would find ourselves growing poorer, and
some less favored locality, possessing the
public spirit and enterprise plucking
from our grasps the prize which natural
ly and of right ought to be ours. We are
pleased to see that new order of things
is being formulated, that efforts are
made to make our county known, that
the eyes of the restless tide of immigra-
ton is being directed to us, that in fact
we are becoming known for what we are
and what we ought to be. The N. P. R.
r. company together with some Of our
live and enterprising citizens are making
efforts to advertise US, to build US upand
these causes produce feeling of hope
and confidence. 1t not only directs to
us the eye of the agriculturist and stock
raiser, but the miner, the manufacturer,
and the host who follow in the train Of
these industries. Under this condition
Of things there can be no backward step.
For the first time in the history of Gal
latin county, leading paper Of the
Northwest THE Pioneer Press) has full
page advertisement of Bozeman, illustrat-
ed by cuts Of the principal public and
business houses. Even this will prove
of more advantage to Gallatin county,
that five hundred times it's cost. NJ. w.
Anderson has pamphlet in course Of
preparation which will be another means
Of disseminating knowledge Of our coun-
try. Buy it, read it, send it to yonr
friends; such things will come back to
you an hundred fold. Push, energy,
public spirit, enterprise, can make pros
perity where natural advantages and
conditions do not exist; how much more
then in a country where these condi-
tons do exist. Let each one then put
his shoulder to the wheel and help to
keep the ball rolling. Away with fears
and doubts, aye cowardice.

ADVANTAGES OF THE HOME PAPER.

Every sensible and practical business
man takes advantage of the local paper
to make known his business, the class of
goods he has to sell, the class he wants
to buy, in fact everything which he
wishes to meet the eyes of the public.
The advantages afforded for this, in the
local paper, are too well known and ap-
preciated at this day to need any com
ment. It is too well known that the
judicious use of printers ink has made
many a fortune, and success is measured
by the amount ofjudicious advertising
done. No paper is 80 universally read
by the immediate neighborhood as the
home paper, and none exerts greater
influence. These things being SO, we
may be pardoned if we do little judici-
GUS advertising for ourselves. The
CHRONICLE has been in existence now
nearly five months, in field where it
has been said that another paper could
not live. It has prospered as well as the
most sangr,ine of its friends predicted
and in doing SO it has not expected, nor
desired to antagonize or draw patronage
away from its neighbor. Our constant
advice has been and will be for the peo-
pie of Gallatin Valley at least, to sub
scribe for and encourage both. The
small sum asked for annual subscription
is well spent and disadvantage to the sub
scriber. Our subscription lists are daily
increasing, but we wish, Of course, to ex-
tend it more and more. There is no
stopping point in this matter. The larger
the list the more are we enabled to give q
better paper. The more money we re-
ceive the more we can spend in getting
news, in supplying our Office with ap-
proved machinery, with larger stocks of
material and cheaper prices. We shall
send out from time to time sample copies
Of the paper and urge upon all who take
an interest in building up and fostering
such an enterprise to send us their
names as subscribers, and not only that
but to secure us more among their neigh
bors and friends. Many persons have
said to us, "Why don't you come over in
our neighborhood, you could get good
many subscribers there?" This we have
intended to do, but our duties have held
US here and the weather has been so
tickle and unsettled that we have delay
ed. We intend, however, to get out
during the summer, but in the mean
