Notwithstanding the impression

ed by Montana's friends a. the short
est way to statehood. It seems how
ever, that this amendment was Topped
off before the Washington bill came
up for final passage land passed., last
week. All that is shown in the
dispatches is that the Washington bill
passed, that it authorizes the holding

The Chinese Are Going.

An attorney who is probably as
well acquainted with the Chinese in
San Francisco as any white man can
be says that if the present agitation
is continued for year there will not
be a Chinese merchant left in San
Francisco. At the present time they
are closing up their business as fast
as they can, and nearly every steamer
takes one or more of them away. The
business Of the merchants is being
ruined by the expulsion of the labor
ers from the interior. The merchants
in the interior of this state, in Oregon,
in Washington Territory and Nevada
have no business, as their patrons
have disappeared and they are unable
to pay their debts In consequence
the merchants here are suffering One
large merchant has S150,O00 worth of
bills which he can not collect, and
recent tour of this and neighboring
states enabled him to secure only
$4,000. Merchants have for some
time been assisting each other to pre-
vent failures, but it appears as if the
limit were about reached. It is affirm
ed that there are more vacant stores
in Chinatown than ever before seen,
and the prospect IS that the number
will grow larger.

than 100000 would be necessary to
build the proposed branch of the

Philipsburg, making the average cost
per mile $4,000 This low estimate is
made because of the absence of heavy

Scrap Books.

The pleasure afforded by the mis-
cellaneous page of reading matter in
we'll appointed newspaper, ought to
induce more people to prepare care
full scrap-books for delectation in
leisure hours. A really good scrap
bood is treasure It is not always
one wishes to attack book. and there
are times when the collection of odds
and ends of curious and interesting
matter, ranging from gay and grave,
from lively to severe, exactly meets
the craving of the mind. A skillfully
prepared scrap book of the best poems
floating around in the papers and
magazines has long been a desidera-
tum and it would be possible to have
one with two departments, one solely
devoted to choice poetry, In this
way, each one may make literary
collection to suit the individual taste,
and preserve a fine fund of varied
writing that would otherwise disap-
pear in the great ocean OF print. How
constantly we regret the loss Of some
poem or prose article that our first ac-
quaintance with it gave signal pleas
ure or the precise information We de-
sire to have Young persons ought
to be encouraged to make scrap books,
and old persons should find them
alike entertaining and usful.
