to the fact that in taking II retrospect

EDITORS MINERAL ARGUS:
The Constitutional convention com
mittees have nearly all made their
reports; and the subject matters there
in are now being considered in detail
in the committee of the whole. The
report of the committee of city, town
and county organization, was voted on,
amended and adopted in sections, to-
day. The most notable departure ION
the present system of county organiza-
ton is, by making the county judge
chairman of the board Of county COM
missioners and electing four commits
%sioners, making the board to consist of
five members in place of three. As the
convention is composed largely of
lawyers-some of whom are evidently
candidates for delegate to congress
of course there is plenty of talk, but as
much of the work is of II judicial char
acter they also do most of that. There
appears to be q general desire on the
part of delegates to retain as much
power as possible in the hands of the
people and to restrict that granted to
railroads and all other corporate bodies.
The Hon. Granville Stuart, President
Of the Council, and a resident of your
section, is here and has been an attent-
i've listner on several occasions.

S. T. Hauser, who has just returned
to Helena from New York, is positive
that the Helena & Benton branch of
the N. P. will be built next summer.
Settlers in the Judith country a rest
assured that with the rail road at
Benton, the business to be secured in
this section will necessitate a branch
through what is the finest agricultural
and mineral portion of Montana, con-
Meeting with the main line in the
vicinity of Junction City. The desir
ability and practicabihty Of this route
yer all others is conceded by every
surveyor and civil engineer both in
and out of the employment of the
n. P. company, and when the time
arrives for its construction the line will
pass through that portion of the coun-
try that-not alone is easy of access as
regards the cheap construction Of the
road-bed-but most productive in the
various industries of the territory.
Such is, and such will be found to be
by the N. P. company, the Judith and
immediate tributary country.
