APAYING OFFICE.

As will be noticed in the councils pro-
ceedings, ex-Assessor Robertson has sig
nifed his willingness to settle with the
city for 81 800. This is 81, 900 less than
lie considers himself entitled to, nut in
order to avoid lawsuit and consequent
difficulties, Mr.. Robertson is willing and
ready to compromise. The cause of this
state of affairs, it will be remembered by
our readers. was carefully explained
some weeks ago, when we stated that
the council, Tor part thereby had di-
rected their clerk to collect 1913. from ex-
Treasurer Robertson, who, they alleged,
misappropriatcd that amount. Mr.. Rob-
ertson is an honorable man, and nothing
could have been done to cause him more
indignation or embarrassment. Mr..
Robertson at once took the position that
inasmuch as all ordidances relating 20
compensation of treasurer, assessor, ETC.,
had been repealed by the council, which
on May 18th, 1885, PASSED the Order No.
5, which allows him six per centum on
all assessments and collections, Of what
soever nature, made by him" Mr.. Rot
ertson's Interpretation of this order
leads him to believe that he is entitled
to $50 COO, and upon this assumption he
bases his comp. omiSe.

SPECIAL LAND AGENTS.

When the serate amendment to the
snndry civil bill striking out the pro
vision fer extra special land agents for
Mr.. Sparks was under consideration
Mr.. Knute Nelson attacked the PROPOSE
ton for increase in FIVE minute speech
that went nearer to the root of the
whole Sparks evil than anything that
has yet been said in the house. He
characterized the special agent as, in
many cases, drunken political bummers
who levied tribute on the great timber
companies and drove the poor settler
from his land, simply to make a record
for himself. He was creature. of the
commissioner Of the general land office
vested with an enormous power. yet
without commission or responsibility.
On 81 800 per year he travelled around,
stopping at S4 day hotels and making
the government pay heavy expenses for
an absolutely worthless service. lie
hoped the senate amendment striking
out the provision for special agents
would be concurred in and it was.

The present cost of coal on cars re-
ceived by the Northern Pacific col cpm.
pany is about 50 80 per ton; transport
ton bv railroad to Bozeman 81 20 per
ton; to Helena, 50 so per ton; to Garrison
50 90 per ton; intermediate points be-
tween Bozeman and Helena, 50 90 per

cold company can deliver coal on cars
more cheaply than private parties be-
cause of their extensive plant and sup.

EXTENSIVE cpAL FIELDS
in the extreme southeastern portion OF
Gallatin county on Rocky Fork ofClarF s
Fork and several locations have been
mad,. Thess fields are forty miles or up
wards from the line of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, and lie at the base of the
Saltwater range of mountains. The caal
is of excellent quantity, very hard and
firm, is tree burning, and would stand
transportation better, perhaps, than any
other coal in the west. The
TOTAL AGRA
of the coal fields Of GalIatin county is at
present very difficult to ascertain with
accuracy, for the reason that only a
small portion of the coal lands have
been surveyed, but from the best in'
formation at hand there have been filed
upon and claimed on both unsurveyed
and surveyed lands about forty-two
square miles, no filings been made OF
coal lands taken in either the Middle
Creek or West Gallatin basins. where
coal is known to exist to considerable
extent.
In conclusion it may be said that she
coal measures of Gallatin county are
practically inexhaustible, from which
with proper transporta ion facilities fue
may be drawn to supply Montana anc
her constantly growing industries FOL
many generations to come.
