RRRONEOUSLl In.MESSED.

On Wednesday the President vetoed
the bill granted the right. of way to rail
roads through the Indian reservations
of Montana. The President gives the
folio wing reasons for so doing:
"The reservation extends across the ex
treme northern part of Montana. with
British America for its northern bound
ary. 1t contains an area of over 10000
square miles. 1t is dedicated to the III
dams by the treaty of October IL, 1855,

No railroads are whiting the immediate
approach to its boundaries and only one
as shown in the recent maps is under
construction in the neighborhOod leading
in its direction. the surrounding country
is sparsely settled and have been un-
able to ascertain that the necessities of
commerce or any public exigencies de-
mand this legislation which would effect
50 seriously the rights and interest of the
Indians occupying the reservation. The
bill is in the nature of general right OF
way for railways through this reserva-
ton. The Indian occul an s have not
gwen their consent, neither haze they
been consulted regarding 1t, nor is there
any provision in it for securing their
consent or agreement to the locating the
construction of railroads. If the United
States must exercise its rights ofeminent
domain over the Indian territory for
the general welfare of the whole country
it should be done cautiously, with due
regard for the interests of the Indians
and to no greater effect than the exigen-
cies of the public service require"

WILL EXAMINE EtEnI BILL.

Washington DISPATCHES intimate that
President Cleveland will not follow the
custom of his predecessors in signing the
Appropriation bills without that due
consideration which their importance
demands. In previous years it has been
the custom for the President to spend
the last night of a session of Congress at
he Capitol signing the great number of
bills which were rushed through in the
closing hours of a session. This allowed
of great abuses as the President was I'M
ible even 200 look at the bills much less
consider them. At such times the worst
obs have been pushed through. Presi
dent Cleveland it is said does not inter d
70 follow these presidents but will take
he time nece ssary to consider every
bill before he signs it and thus give it
he sanction which makes 1T law.
This is judicious action on the part OF
the President and he has notified several
of the House leaders that he does not
propose to sign single bill even in the
closing hours of the Congress, without
reading it, and If they expect to worr}
him by pushing large number of meas
ures upon his attention at that time they
will simply fail through lack of time to
onsider them. The country will ap. prove
of such action on the part of the Chief
Executive provided he uses the veto
power as judiciously as he uses his
prerogatiye of ten days time for examin'
ing all bills passnd h. ""~~~"ss,

the Carolinas, Missouri, California, Mon
tana, etc. Before the geoloeists can
locate their work properly, an accurate
map of the Typographical features of the
country is necessary, and where no such
map now exists the topographers must
necessarily precede the biologists.
We all know to our sorrow that but a
very small portion of Montana has ever
been accurately mapped. Considerable
work was done couple of years ago by
the Transcontinental Survey, organized
by Mr. Willard. When that survey was
disbanded, its maps and notes were
turned over to the Geol. Survey, and &
is probably to that fact we owe that
work is now being done in Montana A
regular Montana division has been or
Canized, and we may hope that topo-
graphical work will now be carried on
here every season, until the whole terri
tory is covered and we have as accurate
a map of Montana as was made by the
old Hayden survey of Colorado. As the
topographers complete their work they
will be followed by the biologists.
Mr.. Douglas has charge of the pri
mary triangulation and will this year
work through the Crazy, Judith and
Belt Mts., towards Fort Benton. Mr..
Tweedy will map the mountains south
of US as far west as virginia City,
where the primary triangulation, or
the fixing of the most important points,
has already been done.
The typographical map of the park
was COMPLETED last year and is now in
the hands of engravers. 1t will prob
ably he issued next winter, and we shall
then have for the first time really accu-
rate map of the Park. The work was
done under the direction of Mr.. Rem
shave, 90 favorably known to many Of
our readers, and we regret that he was
assigned to Missouri and not continued
in the Montana work.
We may add that Bozeman has been
favorite QUILTING point for many years
for members of the survey, and will
probably remain so for several seasons TO
come.

ofthe special from Bozeman announcing
the seizure of Lynde & Co.'S lumber by
a government agent said.
Il have mad several talks with Mr..
Sparks regarding this timber matter. and
while he has expressed willingness to
do something, he seems uncertain what
to do. He is not DESTROYS of making the
companies in Montana any serious
trouble, yet he is inclined to give the
law the strictest construction. Ipointed
out to him that the spirit of the law
meant to prevent nothing but the culling
Of timber for export and sale outside the
state, and he acquiesced that view of the
law might be taken. 1t seems, however
from this that he is inclined to enforce
the entire letter of it."
