A story is told of one of our promi-
nent railroad officials, which should
not be lost. The magnate's keen eye
one day discovered in the Helena
Herald an advertisement announcing
that 30 cents, enclosed to certain
address in Butte, would elicit the in
formation how to save paying railroad
fare one way between this city and
Garrison. His mind at once coniured
up visions of dishonest conductors
and conniving ticket sellers, and he
determined on sending fifty cents to
the address, under an assumed name,
in order to get into the secret. BY
return mail came the expected enve-
lope. Tearing it open he read on a
plain slip of paper: "Why, walk-you
id fool"

On the first Tuesday in November will occur
an important election to the people of tho first
commissioner district Of Steele county, when
county commissioner for the ensuing three
years is to be elected. Already the names Of
several well-known gentlemen have been men,
toned in connection with the position, either
one Of whom would make, We believe, an ex-
celent officer. The fact that the term for
which the officer to be elected is three years
demands that a choice should not be made in
haste, but that the qualifications Of the candi-
dates be carefully scrutinized. 1t is not every
man, even though lie be successful in his par
tlcular calling, who will make good COM
missioner, as experience has demonstrated. It
is necessary that he should be man of en-
larged and liberal views, thoroughly familiar
with business principles and methods, and
above all a man not so welded to his own pet
theories and ideas as to be unable to see and
listen to reason when pointed cut to him. All
men are fallible, and the mistakes of COM
missioner are sometimes expensive to the peo-
ple There is no lack of geod material to
choose from, and we hope to see the choice of
the people fall upon man who will fill the
position with honor to himself and credit to
the county. We invite the presentation Of
the names of suitable parties to fill tho posi-
tion through our columns
