One of the best treats we have had for
some time, was the exhibition of Bird
Calfee's views, given last night to few
invited guests. Those who witnessed
the first exhibition here, can form no
conception of the great improvement
which has been made; not only in the
power of the lens to throw the object
upon the canvass, but in the pictures
themselves. Now (instead of as formerly
only showing the dead white of the pic
ture) they are brought out with all the
varied hues in color of rock, water and
foliage, making the scene as natural as
life. One who has never visited the
geyser region can scarcely conceive that
such beauty as is unfolded by this pan
Drama exists in nature, but those who
have, are impressed with the remarkably
life-like production of every rock and
tree, every dash ofsthe sparkling falls;
geysers in repose and in action, and every
shifting scene presents dazzling picture
of beauty. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Calfee to give public exhibition at an
early day and we would advise our
readers not to miss such an opportunity
of visiting Wonderland.

A friend of Lord Macaulay told me
that he had often seen that great man
sitting down to breakfast with an
"Eschylus" in one hand and another
learned book, or rather another requiring
learning in the other. In one of his
letters to Q pet little niece he tells her
that she will find that books are better
than all the tarts and cakes and toys and
plays and sights in the world. If any
body would make me the greatest king
that ever lived, with places and gardens
and fine dinners and wine and coaches
and beautiful clothes and hundreds of
servants, on condition that would not
read books, would not be a king. 1
would rather be poor man in garrett
with plenty of books than king who
did not love reading"

Among the many bills introduced In
Congress few days ago, are the follow
ing by delegate Maginnis: Granting and
confirming title to the Montana collegiate
institute of lands situated in the town of
Deer Lodge; for the erection of a public
building at Helena to cost $4,000; for
relief of Capt. A. Girard, Of the United
States army, for quarters burned at Fort
Keogn; to give every man who has serv-
ed in one grade fifteen years below the
rank of major, the pay Of the rank above;
to reduce the price of lands in the Bitter
Root valley to S1.25 per acre, and seven
relief bills. He also presented several
joint resolutions of the Montana legisla-
ture. These resolutions were sent to
him at the close of the last session Of
Congress, but it being then too late to
secure the objects desired, Maginnis
carried them over to the present session.
These resolutions ask congress to bills
concerning the treatment of Indians for
depredations committed by them upon
the settlers and their property; for the
reduction of the military reservation Of
Fort Keogh; for the increase of rates for
surveying; to make measures to prevent
pleuro-pneumonia among cattle; and to
exclude from the boundaries of Yellow
Park, Clarke's Fork mining district.
Among them it will be seen is a bill to
reduce tine military reservation at Fort
Keogh, to this may be added bill to
reduce the military reservation of Fort
Ellis, as advocated few days ago in the
CHRONICLE. The time has passed when
such large reservations were needed, it
indeed they ever were, and the land Is
wanted for settlers. Let us get up petit
tions to that effect so that bill can be
introduced in the present Congress.
The articles of incorporation of a street
car company in Helena have been filed
with the Territoritorial Secretary and
they have submitted their proposition to
the city for franchise. Not to be out
done by her sister cities. we may be al
lowed to state that negotiations are on
foot for street railway in Bozeman, and
We may say fair promise of success in
the near future. Primarily this line will
be operated from the Court House down
Main street to Broadway, and down that
street to the depot Taking into consid-
Grafton the slight cost of equipping such
a line las there will be no grading neces-
saryj we are inclined to the opinion that
it will pay something on the investment
from its beginning, and be of great con-
venience to the public. With a tele-
phone exchange and street railways, we
will not have to do half so much walk
ing.

In Portland. Oregon. Alfred Yenke a

In Portland, Oregon, Alfred Yenke, q
young man was asassinated by J. w.
Murray, his brother-in-law. Murray and
wife had been separated some months.
The former was insane with jealousy, and
threatened he would kill her if he ever
found her in company with another man.
Yenke and his sister had been at a ball,
and while returning home met Murray,
who was armed with a shotgun, and
while in jealous fury, killed Yenke sup
posing in the darkness that Yenke was
his wife's lover. He also fired at his
wife, but missed her. Jacob Fisher, an
old man, was shot and killed by a young
man named William Bloxam Both par
ties were armed to the teeth. Over
thirty shots were fired. The fight had
commenced with knives, but was follow
ed by revolvers and ended with repeat
ing rifles. Bloxam escaped unframed
Domestic trouble was the cause of the
deadly encounter.

It is astonishing what ignorance still
exists among many people east as to the
character of the climate in Montana,
many still regarding it a. an inhospitable
region. Still refusing to believe that
while severe cold weather is prevalent in
the east, We are enjoying most delicious
balmy weather. That our cattle roam
over the hills and live upon their nutri-
tious grasses, that they are neither shell
tered or fed from one season to another,
and from these herds are supplied as fat
and juicy meats as can be found in any
of the market stalls of the east. where
cattle are housed and fed. They still
continue to treat such assertions as ex-
travagances Of western expression. Come
out and see for yourselves. "The proof
Of the pudding is in eating it."

The County Commissioners have been
in session two days. Among their pro-
ceedings is the tax levy for the year 1884,
placed at Is mills and divided as follows
Territorial, mill; county, 5 mills, poor,
mill; school, 5 mills; road, ! mill; of
the county part mill is set aside for the
contingent fund, mill for the sinking
fund. A capitation tax of two dollars is
levied as special poor tax, and three
dollars levied as special road tax, to be
paid by every able-bodied person be-
tween the ages of twenty-one and forty
five. Quite a number of road matters
came up for consideration. The settling
Of road questions are among the most
vexing and difficult matters, which
come under the powers Of the Board. 1t
is often the case that neighbors cannot
agree as to the location of road. One
says it will injure his farm, another that
it is impracticable, and so on, while they
all agree that road is needed, and in
stead Of agreeing among themselves and
making mutual concessions an appeal is
made to the County Commissioners, and
it is anything but a pleasant duty for
them to settle these neighborhood quar-
rels. 1t would seem to us that the resi-
dents Of a particular locality, who are
familiar with the Law of the land, and
know it's condition at all seasons of the
year, could meet and agree among them
selves as to the best route for a road and
thereby relieve the commissioners of Ito
say the least,) a disagreeable duty. We
have noticed that these matters come up
every term, and besides provoking a
good deal of angry discussion and bad
blood, consumes great deal of the valu-
able time of the Board. Very few peo-
pie realize how onerous are the duties of
County Commissioner, and how thank
less the position, and what responsibility
is on their shoulders. They do not get
credit for what good they do, but plenty
of blame whenever they do anything the
least bit wrong, and as they cannot suit
everybody they get abused anyway.
Tighten their labors if you can. See if
you cannot settle these matters among
yourselves.

HOW The COUNTY Is RUN IN DEBT.

Under the above caption our esteemed
contemporary the Courier, is led into
making some grave charges, which we
cannot but feel have been made without
thorough investigation of the facts.
The Courier says: that Donald Mitchell
was brought over from Livingston Mon
day, and in default of bail was committed
to the county Jail to await the action of
the Grand Jury, on charge of rape"
We agree with the Courier that we do
not believe such charge can be sustain
ed, but the facts are, that instead of the
defendant lying in Jail to await the action
of grand jury he is out on bail, and con-
sequently, is not held at the expense OF
Gallatin county. Again it says, During
the past summer and fall we are convin-
ced that several parties have been
brought in and committed for trial from
Cooke City and elsewhere, the strongest
motive for such action being the giving
of employment to and paying the expen-
ses of sou deputy sheriff who desired to
come to Bozeman. 1t is intimated that
the Malin Bros. have had several fat
takes in this kind of business" Now if
we are correctly informed Annie Malin
never brought down but one prisoner,
who was arrested for obstructing the
stree, and he (Malin) was appointed as a
special constable to bring the prisoner to
Livingston. Jake Malin has brought
down several, one of them Young, who
is now under sentence Of death. and an
other who served out his sentence. A
sheriff or his deputy but obey the behest
of the law and 60 where they are sent.
The prosecution of crime must not be
condoned because it costs few dollars.
Cooke City, it is true, has furnished a
number of criminal cases, and at great
expense, but we do not know of a single
case brought down from there which
showed that the prosecution was COM
menced with any other view than to
subserve the ends of justice, and this
sling at the sheriff's Office is as unjust as
it is unworthy of its author. We admit
there are grevious faults IN the admin
stration of justice, which require re-
medy, but we think the fault is more in
incompetent examining magistrates, who
seem to think it duty to bind over
every one charged with crime. While
the criminal expenses are very heavy,
In fact, that which takes by far greater
proportion of money collected by taxa
ton, than anything else, the record will
show that during the past year, there has
been larger per cent of convictions
thanev before, which goes to show that
more crime was committed For this
state of things the officers are not to
blame. Put the blame where it belongs,
and do not go out Of the way to cast a
slur upon those who have been selected
to carry out the effect of the law.

he heard preached at a funeral of brother
Watkins. 1t so happened that brother
Watkins died on the 22d of February.
The eloquent preacher reached the eli
max thus: Raising both hands, and
with a voice tremulous with emotion, he
claimed: "Oh, thank, my brethren;
what wonderful-what a wonderful
Providence! How wisely God chose the
day for our friends departure! How
sweet, how glorious the thought, that the
day in the year that gave q Washington
to our country gave Watkins to
heaven"
