AN IMPROVEMENT.

There has been great improvement in
the way of doing business in the Govern
ment Departments under the new regime
and there are evidences of new life. Still
further reforms are looked for through
the passage of bill that is exciting a
good deal of interest 1t provides for
Reconsideration and reorganization of
the civil service at Washington, and its
purpose is to SO arrange the force of the
Departments that the same kind of work
will receive the same pay. Under the
present plan there are clerks drawing
1920 to $40 who are doing the same
work in regard to quality and amount
as clerks who get from 81 200 to $1,00 a
year. The last classification was made
in 1854 when there were only 7l9 clerks
in the departments, now there are 8,031.
Under this arrangements there are four
classes class l, receiving 81 200: class 2,
81, 400 class 8, 81 900, and class 4, $500.
Clerks have been employed and assigned
to these classes with but little regard to
their grade. Consequently there is a
great deal of waste to the tax-pavers in
the Departments. But as there is no
fixed limit to the revenues of the Gov
eminent and the burdens of the tax
PAYERS, the waste is not perceived.
While the new Administration is setting
the Governmental house in order, it
proposes to subject the men and women
employed there to a through investiga-
ton, weed out the incompetent, and
redistribute the others so as to enable
then to do the greatest amount and best
kind of work of which they are capa-

Another Coal Mine.

Victor Z. Tull during the past year has
been prospecting for coal on the east side
of the Belt range Of mountains, seven or
eight miles from the Timberline mines.
He was in Helena and informed the
Independent that he had struck the coal
body he had been looking for and found
it in large quantities and as solid and in
as good position as he could desire. He
is now on his way to San Francisco,
where he will report to his employers,
who are identical with the Anaconda
company Of Butte. The coal from the
Williams mine in that district was used
for some time BY the Helena gas com
pany and was the best coal they could
obtain for their purpose.

INSANITY.

In this country of sunshine and pure
atmosphere, insanity does not reach any
where near the proportions it assumes
in the east or amid the pine trees and
humid atmosphere of Washington terri
tory and Oregon. The writer few
years ago paid a visit to the insane asy-
lum of Washington territory, and was
surprised at the number of inmates, who
all seemed to possess the lighter forms of
lunacy and were permitted to work in
and around the shops of the institution,
and even to play in the brass band. We
were informed that the climate In the
majority of instances was the cause of
so much insanity in the territory. Days
and days of rain and lowering clouds
had depressing effect upon the weaker
minds, which eventually succumbed.
Our observations have led us to believe
that while Montana does not promote
lunacy, yetit imparts to those so ur for
tunate through hereditary and abusive
causes, a serious degree of insanity very
seldom durable.

The Montana StOckmen.

The members OF the Montana Stock
Growers Association held the third
semi-annual meeting of that organiza-
ton, April 49, About 125 of the mem
bers were present, to which were added
about thirty new names, making total
membership of about 800. Delegates
representing the various stock associa-
tions of all portions of the country were
present. The association, with friends
and visitors. headed by the famous band
of Fort Keogh, and including some 200
mounted cowboys, marched from the
depot to the skating rink, where, the
meeting being called to order, all were
welcomed in an address by the Hon. A..
F. Burleigh. A number of prominent
railroad men who were present, made
addresses, the princical object of which
was to Increase transportation and to
make St. Peal cattle market in prefer
ence to Chicago. st. Paul was well rep
resented by business men, and its facili-
ties as a market was glowingly set forth.
The plea for honorary membership was
promptly voted down. The officers of
the preceding year-President, I. j. Bry-
an, Miles City; FIRST Vice President, B. f.
Potts, Townsend; Second Vice President,
William Harmon, Miles City; Secretary,
R. B. Harrison, Helena, were unanimous

Clay, treasurer of the National Stock
Association, the Montana Association

expenses of said National Association.
The stockgrowers of Montana refused
to cooperate with the International
Range Association. The secretary re-
ported that the Association is in good |
condition. Granville Stuart, president |
of the Board of Stock Inspectors report

inspected, and from this number there
were recovered estravs TO the value of

been recovered estrays to the value of

JUDGE POLLARD'S WORK.

Now that Judge Pollard has concluded
his first term of district court in Gala
tin county, the time has come for us to
express our opinion of him as judge
been in the territory, Judges Conger and
Coburn have been upon the bench of
this district. To say that Pollard has
proven himself to be better judge than
either of them, would be the mildest
praise possible to bestow upon him.
From the good reports he brought with
him from Miles City, we expected to
find him clear-headed, able jurist. He
has been far better than our most SAN
guine expectations hoped for. He has
proved himself to be thorough gentle
man in every respect, courteous always
and everywhere. That he is prompt,
impartial and competent judge, is attest
ed by the fact that he tried 155
cases during this term of court, in the
majority of which jury was waived by
the litigants. Only about twenty cases
remain untried and these were contin-
ued by agreement of the parties con-
cerned. This is record to be proud of,
especially to a man who came to us
stranger, weighed down with false accus-
atoms, and only general knowledge of
our peculiar laws. Everyone has word
of praise for Judge Pollard, and should
he be withdrawn from this district, it is
almost certain that his place will not be
filed by a man SO universally adm ired
and respected. If Judge Coburn is re-
placed. the United States senate will
have acted uniustly to the people of this
district.

proposition favorably and appointed
