Maiden is now recovering from
long period of inact,on, and business
in general is assuming healthier tone.
The Montana Co. have about forty
men employed, and are pushing to
complet on, u. der the d rect.on of Mr..
A. M. Esler, as rap dly as possible, a
Io-stamp NIL, which they expect to
have in operation by the middle of
November
The Smelter Co., organized solely
by the energetic citizens of Maiden,
have purchased a complete smelling
outfit, having capacity OF ten tons
per diem. They propose to have the
smel;er turning out bullion during the
fore part of the coming winter, if pos
slbe. The citizens Of SO small min
ing camp as Maiden are surely deserv-
ing of the l. rhest commendation fo-
their entarprise in establishing and
furthering a scheme involving the out
lay of the amount Of capi al essafy
for the erection of sme.ter. How
ever, the completion of the above
mentioned enterprise will be a practl-

entertained by the projectors OF the
scheme in the ultimate future of the
camp, which is, in my op mon, judg-

Maiden has business houses carrying
stocks which would be creditable TO

most noticeable might be mentioned
the clothing house Of N. t. Dnsmore,

LET US HAVE a SCHOOL HOUSE.

At the present time the most urgent
want of Maiden is IA good school house.
Though the second town in the county,
up to the present time no effort has
been made to erect u substantial build
ing for this purpose. Villages and even
hamlets, as compared to Maiden, have
structures. dedicated to Minerva that
are credit to the community in
which they are located, while the citi-
zens of Maiden seem to be content
with renting a log house, that in no way
is suitable for the purpose. During
the past summer Cottonwood and
Lewistown have erected and equipped
schol houses that would speak well for
towns double their size. No one thing
speaks better for community or tends
to increase its growth and prosperity,
more than a good school house. To
have "a school under the direction OF
competent teacher, one who can readi-
ly learn the disposition of children, is of
great importance, yet II suitable build
ing constructed for school house, weli
ventilated and good light, equipped
with good, substantial furniture and
auxiliaries pertaining thereto, is Of
equal importance, and no community
can afford to be without one when it is
within their reach, and that too, at a
nominal cost.
1t is out of the question to build this
fall, yet it is not too late to decide that
Maiden district shall not be behind all
other school districts in the county, in
supplying educational facilities for the
, rising generation. The thirteenth Ter
! ritorial legislature passed the following
act to authorize school trustees of any
/ school district to issue bonds to build
. or provide school houses:
PAGE CT. SEC. 1.-THE board Of school
: trustees of any school district within
the Territory shall, whenever ~ major
= itv of the trustees so decide, submit Ia
the electors of the district the question

d S37. The above act allows the issue o
!, two per cent. of that amount, or S2,096

II schoolhouse that will reflect credit ol
Z our district.
It The trustees should submit this Il
II the electors as soon as possible, givin
, notice Of time of voting on the ques

NEW BLEACHING PROCESS.
A Discovery from which Grand Results are
Promised.

A Discovery from which Grand Results are
Promised.
Boston Telegram, Mar. 25th.
There was large gathering of scien-
tific men and mill owners at the Essex
institute. Salem, last night, to witness
the experiments with the Tappan sys-
TEN of bleaching. The experiments
were entirely satisfactory. Flax in
fibre was boiled twenty-three minutes
and came out white as snow. Another
lot required thrty-eight minutes. The
average time for bleaching under the
present process is ten days. The flax
stalks subjected to three or four hours,
treatment by the new method can be
shaken clear Of all unavailable matter,
and the white flax of finer and evener
filaments than are now possible can he
at once obtained. The discovery has
been taken up by men of great wealth
here and in New York, and no stock is
to be offered to the public. A large
mill and a water privilege has been
purchased in Canton, in this state,
where business under the patents
already secured will be started within
a few weeks. Agents have been sent
to the westto buy up, before the annual
spring farming begins, all the flax OBJ.
tainable. This material will be treated
at or near the place OF purchase. The
preparation of the flax fiber and the
bleaching Of textiles, as well as various
experimental lines of manufacture, will
be comprised in the business.

From the advance sheets of Messrs.
Geo. 7. Rowell & Cos American News
paper Directory, now in press, it .ap-
pears that the newspapers and periods
Gals of all kinds at present issued in the
United States and Canada reach a grand
total of l3,402. This is net gain OF
precisely 1900 during the last twelve
months, and exhibits an increase Of
$3.50 over the total number published
just ten years since. The increase in
1874 over the total for 1873 was 493.
During the past year the dailies have
increased from 1,138 to 1854; the week
lies from 9.062 to 1OO28; the monthlies
from 1,091 to 1889. The greatest in
crease is in the western states. Illinois,
for instance, now shows 1909 papers in
place of last years total of 904, while
Missouri issues 604 instead Of 523 re-
ported in 1883. Other leading western
states also exhibit great percentage
of increase. The total number of papers
in New York state is 1928, against
l 1893 in 1883. Canada has shared in the
general increase.

Everybody Plant Trees
vermillion Republican.

When trees will reach a diameter OF
twenty-five inches in fourteen years, as
happens in this part Of Dakota, the ma
jority of our people may live to see mag
nificent forests about them planted by
their own hands. The cost of planting
is insignificant compared to the utility,
ornament and healthfulness of forests.
1t is just as easy to raise trees as it is to
raise corn and oats. They are a crop
bearing fruit for century. How grand
our prairies would be with twenty acres
of forest on every farm. The beauty
and attraction of all old towns and
countries is their magnificent trees and
grand old forests. Dakota will never
reach the fullness of her glory without
forests. 1t remains for our people to
plant fro themselves, their children and
their chilaren's children.
