Bishop Spaulding aaI Judge Miller met
in the hotel where both were guests. Tney
shook hands, and inclined their back

The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-06-13

The West Shore, published by Mr.. L.
Samuel, at Portland, Oregon, and Tacoma,
W. T., is a publication that merits the
success it has achieved. The number for
June is before us and is a credit to the
Northwest. The illustrations include a
full page picture of the harbor of Tacoma,
Coles station on the summit Of the Siski-
yous, California; La Conner, ". T., a fine
view of Sitka and other Alaska scenes, a
portrait of Mrs. Margaret E. Croker and
her munifcence to Sacramento and the
whole of California, including the Croker
residence, Marguerite Home and two views
of the art gallery. There is a very correct
view of the Grand Central Hotel at Helena,
views in Drain, Oregon, Olympia, w. T.,
and in British Columbia. The drawings
for these pictures were made by artists and
are finished in the most artistic manner, a
credit alike to engraver n printer. The
letter press is in keeping with the engrav-
ings. The Vest Shore is an enterprising
publication, dependent entirely upon le-
Ultimate business. 1t does not travela about
the country in special cars and insert only
such buildings, points of interest and works
as a to be illustrated, but it's artists travel
on their own account, take drawings on the
spot and include all points OF interest,
charging nothing therefor, save such
patronage as may come to them naturally.
The Vest Shore will soon issue a Montana
edition, in which Butte will have a fair
showing. 1t is a publication that deserves
success.

Down in Nash vile they have a minister
named Sam Jones, an illiterate man, but
one full of force and character. He comes
down to the level of the common people,
and is bringing thousands of people to
grace. Here are flew Of his sayings: ''What
is culture worth if it's nothin' but white
wash on a rascal?" "I'd rather be in
Heaven %learnin' my A Cs than in hell
reading Greek" "Some preachers are so
elegant that they speak Of hell as the burnt
district but this sort Of dignity is the
starch of a shroud." "Heaven is o. dead
level with every good man. and every good
man will be provided for in some way"
''Wil honest men starve? God willfeed an
honest man if he has to put the angels on
half rations." Pull up your doubts by
the roots and you'll find a seed at the bot
tom, and that seed is SIM" "a lie is al
ways on the down grade, but the truth you
have to hitch an engine to-" The "boy
preacher" Harrison, is holding revival
meetings in Denver, with great success. His
meetings are largely attended, and there
seems to be an o%utpouring OF grace in that
direction.

The Missoula Times calls attention to
the fact that the annual expense incurred
on account OF bridge building is an item OF
the greatest concern to the taxpayers. In
a county SO large as Missoula, watered by
so many streams and SO sparsely settled,
bridge building is a serious drain on the re-
sources of the people. The Times claims
that the prevailing policy on this subject is
one of waste and extravaganza. 1t con-
tends that expensive wooden bridges should
be protected by covering. 1t points to the
fact that in the States bridges can be seen
so old that their shingled roofs are covered
with moss, yet the structures are as good
as new. Bridges thus protected last from
thirty to forty years, while the wooden
bridges of Montana decay in from eight to
ten years. The suggestions of the Times
are worthy of consideration by county Of
ficials. There are. we are well aware,
serious objections to covering bridges, but
the alternate action Of rain and sunshine,
heat and cold, upon the trusses OF our
bridges is SO destructive to wood that
| covered bridges might be found economical
and feasible.

In referring editorially to the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Kelly as United States Mar
shall of Montana, the Inter Mountain casts
a cruel and uncailed for slur on the
thousands OF the Industrious residents oil
the Territory who proudly claim Missouri
az their native State. No body OF men
have lone more to develop the grand nat
ural resources OF Montana, and to increase
it's Importance as one OF the greatand grow
ing members OF the American Union than the
Missourians. They were the pioneers;
they faced all the perils Of frontier life,
and they first brought this section into
national Importance. To-day, many OF
the brightest and best citizens OF Montana
are Missourians or the sons of Missourians.
At the bar, on the bench, before the pulpit,
and at the sick-bed. M~issourians have
been to the front since the first white man
yentured into this favored section. MOI is
the Missouri element confined to the learned
professions. In all honest vocations OF bust
ness ife-mercantile, mechanical and min
ing-the Missourian always has been to the
fore. The slur of the Inter Mountain will
not be forgotten. The Missourians can
stand all such scurrilous attacks. They
may be ''lop-eared,' but the records show
that they have been the brainy and brawny
men of Montana.
