THE COLLEGE OF MONTANA.
Some Opinions of Doctor Of Divinity.

Vim. C. Gray, d. D., In Interior, Sept. "a.
The only College in Montana is at Deer
Lodge. A Collegiate Institute" had been
established at a cost of 500, 900, but the foun-
ders desired to be released of the response
bility, which was promptly assumed by our
enterprising Presbytery of Montana, last
year, and the property was conveyed to q
Board Of Trustees appointed by the Presby.
terry. The future control Of the institution
will te in the synod. A new building was
needed and undertaken. 1t will be finished
with debt of $4,000. Mr.. Alanson Trask,
of Brooklyn, paid off a previous debt Of
$1,000, and now pays the salary of the Presi-
dent of the College. Mr.. Trask is not
pledged to the support of this work beyond
the year now begun. While it Is hoped that
he may be able to continue his munifcent
liberality to the College, yet measures must
be taken for the security of the Presidents
chair. What Is most needed, and so far
needed that upon 1t will largely depend the
immediate, full and large prosperity Of the
College, Is the establishment of chair Of
essarily include the cognate branches of
chemistry, geology and mineralogy. DR..
Mcmillan, the President, is wiser in regard
to the management of this important trust
than any advisers a: this distance can be.
He proposed to ask for, and would have OBJ
tanned, temporary State aid for that chair,
because the need Of 1t is felt throughout the
Territory, but objection was made by influ-
entail friends in Chicago aud he was unwil-
ling to disregard their opinions. The Doctor
was clearly right. He Is a practical, level
headed man, and he makes a success of what
ever he undertakes. Leave him at the tiller,
give him steam, and we will guaranty the
time and safety of the voyage.
Deer Lodge valley as seen from Powell
Mountain is one of the most charming scenes
In the world. DR.. Roberts, of our Home
Board, crossed into 1t on the old stage line,
and As the prospect flashed upon his vision,
when the summit was reached, he took of
his hat In the splendid presence, and pro-
nounced 1t incomparably the most beautiful
scene he had ever beheid.

The Utah q Northern Third Rail.
Salt Lake Democrat.

General Manager Galloway is reported to
have said with reference to making the Utah

when the Union Pacific and Northern Pa
cific affected joint lease of the Oregon
Short Line 1t was agreed that third rail
should be put down along the Utah g. North
ern, which is nsrrow-gauge road, SO rs to
accommodate the Union Pacific cars. For
that reason 1t became necessary to lay stand
ardgauge ties and rebuild the bridges.
Eventually this road will be made standard
gauge ali the way to Helena. For the pres
emit, however, it will not be extended further
than Pocatello, where q lift has been erected
whereby cars built expressly are changed
from broad to narrow.gauge trucks. A num-
Der Of these kind Of cars are being built now
In the companys shops for that road. The
business Of this road 10 becoming 30 extern

PEELED to make ita standard gauge road all

About twenty steam threshsrs are now
steadily at work on the grain crops In the
valley, and the yield, so far rs we have ascer-
tanned, Is fully equal to the expectations OF
the formers. The only drawback to the re-
cent harvest 10 the presence OF smut In par
ton Of the fall and spring wheat crops. The
Scotch Fife, however, Ii reported to be en-
tirely free from the smut blight, but 1t does
not appear to yield as heavily as the white
Taos Club and other varieties.-Bozemon

Plat Burr Arrested for BurgIarizing
Lync1i's Safe.
Butte Miner, 9Th.

butte HWeT, zsW.
About three weeks ago an account was
published In the Miner of the forcible entry
into the premises of James II. Lynch, the
liquor dealer at the corner of Main and
Quartz streets, and the burglarizing of his
safe. The safe did not contain any money,
but the thief or thieves found some thirty or
forty dollars In the store and made way with
It, The affair was Of course shrouded in mys-
terry, and, a. usual, what the officers knew or
suspected they kept to themselves. Last
night about 10 o'clock Officer Dwyer and
Deputy Sheriff LIE Clair were seen going up
Main street with man In custody, and he
was taken to the county jail and locked up.
The Miner was soon informed Of the occur
renee and started on the trail, but for . time
It was very cold. LeClair could not be found
and pwyer was as close mouthed as an oys-
ter. However, persistent inquiry developed
the fact thst the prisoner was the well known
Plat Burr; that be had been arrested by the
officers named on tbs charge OF robbing the
store and burglarizing the safe of Mr.. Lynch.
just what evidence they bsvs against him is
not known, but the fact that he was arrested
ON so serious charge leads to reasonable
belief that the officers knew what they were
doing, for both Dryer and LeClair are In
such matters very cautious aud conservative.
There will probably be hearing Monday,
and some important testimony may be looked
for.

Encouraging for Business.

Bradstreet's Journal, in it's commercial
summary OF the 18th says: The condition
OF general trade is quite as favorable as that
mentioned at any previons date within sew
eral weeks past. The steadiness and strength
manifested by the demand for dry goods and
for woolen fabrics have encouraged many
dealers at eastern distributing ccnters to
look for steadiness in tho movement. 1T
may be added that the gain in the demand
for pig iron tends in some degree to inspire
the confidence manifested in various quar-
ters thata turn in the tide has at last taken
place and that the increase In consump-
tion of staple commodities may preserve
q steady growth. 1t is welcome sign
that no boom is sdiscernible in any direction.
The Financial and Commercial Chronicle
OF the 18th says: The exchanges for five
days as received by telegraph this evening,
do not differ materially from the figures OF
the preceding period, the gain in aggregate
being So, ,515,372. The comparison with
last year, however, is more favorable, the
increase in the whole country reaching lO.4
per cent, while outside of New York the ex-
less is IA per cent.
