PUBLIC SURVEYS.

Suryeyor-General Greene has let the
last of Montana surveys. In many in.
stances he has chosen good, competent
men, but in every instance he has award
ed contracts to the lowest bidders, in
many acses the bids being So low
that decent wages cannot be made if good
work is done. We doubt very much
if this viii prove satisfactory or econom-
zeal. The law does not compel the sur
veyor- general to select low price con-
tractors, but specifies that they shall be
competent There is one feature in his
selection of men thai is made very APP
parent, and that is the fact that he has
men irrespective Of party afIili
alton, and in no instance has he shown
favorism to engineers Of his own polite
al faith. We shall look with consider
able interest upon the outcome of these
and in the meanwhile earnestly
trust that the $4,000 appropriation will
more than larger amounts
have done under Gen. Greene's more
LIBERAL predecessors.

In response to the imputation of the
Inter Mountain, to the effect that the
River Press is the organ of Major Magin-
mis-, and that the Major and his friends
are going into the knitting business, the
River Press says, as everybody knew it
would, that it is not SO, and 1t adds that
it is not the organ of Major Maginnis,
but vouches for the fact that it viii al
ways be found loyal tc the party 1t
seems to be the SPECIAL mission Of the
Inter Mountain to stir up strife in the
democratic party Of the territory. but it
will fail'of the ful6llment Of its mission.
Major Maginnis is not only loyal to bis

the territory as we'll He has been in

the benefit Of the city, there will always

This was true when il was proposed to
lay out the now beautiful and famous
Central Park, and the Brooklyn bridge
scheme met with much opposition. The
cutlery against elevated railroads was
we'll nigh universal. All Of these great
projects were pushed through to Il sue
cessful termination, and now it would be
hard to find single objecsor," saws Mr..
Croffutt, the New YORK writer. Those
who are opposed, or rather, those who
refuse to take stock in the county fair,
should take the above home to Them
selves. Bozeman needs more enterprise
and more energy upon the part Of its
richest citizens. Ne matter what the

THE BLESSED RAIN.

The Gallatin valley has been the only
section with rain this spring in sufficient
quantities to produce grass and crops
If the drouth continues for two weeks
more portions of Montana Will be entire
~ destitute of vegetation. Late visitors
to Bozeman are at once struck by the
torwardness of its vegetation and IFS
fresh appearance, which can only be
produced by rain. Our farmers last week
were down-hearted and discouraged by
the outlook, but without further assist
ance from the clouds the crops will rap
idly 90 forward to that point where irri-
CATION can be utilized and made to con-
tribute the moisture necessary. There
is then no reason why this valley viii

Register Langhorne of the United
States land office was walking up street
one fine day last winter with a young
lawyer who had not lived long in Mon
tana and was not acquainted with the
antecedents of the register of the land
office, he wanted to be pleasant, how
ever, and he said:
well, how do you like Montana, Mr.,
Langhorne ?"
II am beginning to like it very well,
said Sam, who tumbled to the joke.
"Glad to here it." said the pleasant
young attorney "This is better winter
climate than is a generally found in this
latitude"
Eyes; this is finer winter than
have seen in twenty years.

Judge Mallory's charge to the Milwau-

Mallory also uttered vigorous protest
against allowing foreigners to come into
this country and make incendiary
speeches. He said: "0ur people have
