A Helena advertisement calls for "men
of ability and experience to handle the
oldest and most popular National Build
ing and Loan association in the U. s., to
work Helena and all parts of the territory.
Company guarantee maturity of stock in
5 yeals, Liberal terms" The people of
Montana should organize building and
loan associations at home and not allow
those from other states to ''work Helena
and all parts of the territory. Such asso-
Citations thrive best under local supervis-
ion and do m ,st good in that way. The
money which the subscribers pay in
goes to build up the town and to acco-
modate our own people. The interest
which the borrowers pay remains at
home and is available for more loans
These advantages are lost when cur
people invest their money in outside
associations which have expensive man
agement and give liberal terms to agents.
Such associations lack the best element
of security which is that loans will be
made prudently and that the expenses
shall not exceed the receipts.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER IA. 1883.
.SEMI-W EEKLY
GREENWAY CORNERE-D.

Greenway of Manitoba should step
down and out. His explanations do not
tally with the facts According to press
Telegram he recently said that President
Hill had offered him $4,000 if he passed
certain legislation favorable to the road
Mr.. Hill at once telegraphed to him to
prove, if he could, his statement by names,
facts and dates. This brought Greenway
to time and he replied as follows:
WINNIPEG, Nov. 81. j. Hill, St. Paul:
In speech made in the legislature yes
terday [ related conversation which
took place here last winter between j. B.
Macarthur, now of Minneapolis, and my
self, in which your name was mentioned
by him, but not in the connection stated
in your message. A verbatim report Of
the speech is being made. Will send you
copy. THOMAS GREENwAY.
Referring to this telegram Mr.. Hill
said lately: Il think Greenway has got
himself in pretty bad fix, and it is only
question of time until he is forced to
the wall. I do not know this j. B. Nc
Arthur referred to in the dispatch and
never heard of him. Some time ago
man came to me ana represented himself
as an agent of the premier and told me
that Greenway needed money and wanted
me to supply his financial deficiency. l
told him would do nothing of the kind,
and in face of these reckless statements
intend in justice to myself to 20 to the
bottom Of the Natter
1t would appear from this that Green
way repudiates the statement attributed
to him, but his reputation is so bad that
his denial will be questioned. Mr.. Hill
has promptly yindicated himself and
leaves Greenway, as he observes, in a
ssbad fix

STATEHOOD.

1t is generally expected that the next
congress, which will be republican in
both houses, will endeavor to admit as
states the two Dakotas, Montana and
Washington. Major Maginnis deems it
probable that the democrats will flibus,
ter and thus defeat the admission of Mon
tuna, which they would not do if the ter
ritory had gone democratic. We do not
believe that Major Maginnis would APP
prove of f1libustering, which would be of
doubtful expediency. If the two Dako-
tas are admitted the democrats should be
glad to admit Montana and Washington,
in the hope that they may be again dem
orratic. There are even many democrats
who would like the party to take the lead
" hen congress meets in December, in
moving for the admission of the four
above mentioned comm onwealths. That
course would give them claim to the
good will of the new states and would
also impress favorably fair-minded men
of all parties. But constant viligance
will be needed to attain the admission of
any states. In the east and south thereis
much reluctance to allow the scepter to
pass into the hands Of the west. Nor is
the west as united as it should be. ILL
nois, Indiana and Ohio look with some
alarm at the growth Of that new west
which extending from the great lakes to
to the Pacific coast is destined to exercise
a dominant influence in national politics.
There will be leading politicians through
out the country who will be content to
leave things as they are until after the
next presidential election. These will be
reinforced by every new territorial ap
pointee under the next administration, on
the ground that he ought to be allowed
to enjoy the spoils of victory. Unless,
therefore, the territories make their in
f1uence felt in congress and bring every
lawful agency to bear in their own be
half, they will be likely to have their
claims dislegarded until the approach of
another presidential election shelves them
two or three years more. MmM. a 49,.

MONz.ANA'S FLYERS.

Montana horses are coming to the front
In public estimation throughout the en-
tire country. The 1883 record as given
by Dunton's Spirit of the Turf is highly
ereditable to the territory which so long
depended for fast horses on importations
from Kentucky and other states. Among
the Montana bred colts that entered the
1870 list this season, says that journal,
was Fantasia, by Ranchero, mark Of
2:25. She is a bay mare, foaled in 1881,
by Ranchero, 2:211ka, dam Toronto Chief,
Canadian horse. Also s. s., a bay geld
ing bred by Huntely and Clark, foaled
1885, by Kentucky Volunteer, 2:32, dam
by springvlle Chief, 2:3e, son of Fields
Royal Horse. His mark was 2:29 but
timed separately in race, 1885. Ben
Cole, also raised by Huntley & Clark,
now owned by Bach & Child, was the
sensational four-yea,-ol Of the season.
In matched race on July4 at Helena he
made record of 1883 in the sixth heat.
In the colt stakes whenever entered he
had walk over and was not Obliged to
lower his record though he Showed a:.2
in an exhibitional trial over the Helena
track. Also Lady Don, bay mare bred by
James Blake Of Helena, mark of 1891
She was by Don A, Hon. James Fergns
owned said horse at the time of his death
Lady Don's dam is bay mare, brought to
Montana from Salt Lake, said to be by a
Patclen horse. Little Miss. 1926, 2nd
dam, Pusher Craig, by Redimus Abullah,
sire Of the dam Of Lottie Thorn; 3rd dam
Jane, road mare from Cincinnati. This
colt is to used for stock purposes and
promises to be $50 pound stallion.
SCOTS Ranchero has this season once
more lowered his record. This at the
races at Spokane, making the mile in
four heats of the race in 2:211s. This is
good enough for Montana bred ones on
Montana tracks and Montana drivers, but
we have no doubt Scott will let him out
another peg next season and score 800 if
necessary. We note with great deal Of
pleasure that Mambrino Diamond, SO long
favcrite in Montana, with Montana
record of $3.50, has obtained at Cynthiana,
KY, of 2:26. He is now on the farm Of

There is one thing unexplained. How
about the bogus democratic county tick
cts that were issued on election day 2
There were about $50 OF them found in
the ball't box, The proofs of trade are
uGnis r5,bie, tAa fact is that the so
called republican office, which printed
and issued these tickets, sold out the par
ty in order to obtain votes for the candi-
date for probate judge. Sheriff Down
lng's name was on the bogus tickets also.
but that was mere decoy, based on his
undoubted popularity. The persons who
handled these bogus tickets at the polls
said in effect: "Look here! We do not
want you to vote the whole republican
ticket. Vote for these two and let tbe
Others go to Jericho. They are helpine
us democrats and we are helping them.''
Thus the trade went on, but it didn't
work as we'll as was expected.

THE PACIFIC TRADE.

While here recently General lyman of
the Portland Orcgonian said: "The Paci-
ic coast offers splendid opportunity for
this city to secure immigration from
The cities on the Sound have filled up
from this scource. The daily arrivals at
Portland are over 1000 and this city be-
ing midway between the coast and the
states will fill from both ways. Other
cities, approaching this fact, are advertls-
ing heavily in the coast papers. All of
the visitors on the coast are home-seekers
and investors and they go there in the
winter months. All Of them have money
and Great Falls may help herself by lit
tie work ia this direction"
We hope to see close commercial inter
course between Great Falls and Portland,
which is a wealthy city and deals 10
Oriental produce, which is consumed
largely IN Montana. We observe also
with satisfaction that the Union Pacific
may run trains over the Montana Central
to Helena by way of Butte. We hope
the trains may run also to this city, which
is the railroad centre for northern Mon
tana. The possible combinations are
such that we may expect t. have freight
cars come here direct from both San
Francisco and Portland laden with pro-
ducts of these regions as we'll as those of
China and Japan. In due course,
Great Falls will, we hope, be the starting
place for the Manitoba Pacific short line
to the coast. ..

For the time being politics are ended.
and people will have something else to
talk OF. No matter who may be elected
or what policy may prevail, Montana
VIII hold its own. Its developments IN
all of the varied resources which lavish
nature has, bestowed upon, will be con
tinuous and effective. No matter to
which of the industries we turn, we find
that capital and labor are hand in hand
in producing the best results. In the
next few years the wealth and the popu-
lation of the territory will be doubled.
and when we shall have been crowned
with the crown of statehood that is sure
to come in the near future, Montana will
take its place in the sisterhood as the
richest and most progressive of the
youngsters in the band.-Butte Mining

Wa. Clark was not defeated by repub-
!ican votes and not by any issue involved
in the campaign. The large majority
recorded against him is simply the result
of treachery on the part of Sam Hauser,
Marcus DAILY and one or two other promi-
nent democrats, who thought by taking
such course to shelf Mr.. Clark. In
stead of doing that, however, they have
simply shelved themselves. The peridy
OF these men will not soon be forgotten.

"Before another presidential campaign
opens the union will be enlarged by the
addition of four new states and is votes
at least will be added to the electoral
college," So says the St. Paul Pioneer
Press which adds: 'sThe first act passed
by the new republican congress 10 assem-
BILE in 1889 should be bill providing
for the admission of the two Dakota's''
The other two states are to be Washing
ton and Montana. Montana, we read:
although its industries are mainly Of a
different and sometimes less stable order
is equally well quilted for the honor
of statehood" 1t is probable that the
new states will be admitted before the
next congressional election in 1889, be-
cause the republicans will not run the
risk Of another contest The strongest
reason for expecting the admission OF the
states is not the justice of their claim,
but the expectation that the new states
will be republican,. 1t is this which
makes the republican journals promise
SO Justly that justice will lie done. They
had little to say on the subject before
election and they did not call the repub-
lican senate to account for it's tardiness.

The Origin of Natural Gas,

According to Professor Lesky. the
buried bed of vegetation which has be-
come what IS now known and used az
the Pittsburg coal bed, twelve feet
thick, must have originally been as
many as 100 feet in depth, it having
been compressed TO its present size, as
the coal bed, by the action of heat and
the pressure Of the strata or layers of
sand which were deposited upon it at
different times after il was covered with
water. As this coal bed is far above the
oil sands, it is not thought that the bed
of vegetation which it now presents fur
nlshcd the oil and -as now being found,
but that they have been formed from
other beds buried below the oil sands,
and which may have been Of even greater
depth or thiChnessthan this one; pressed
down by the tremendous weight Of the
hundreds and thousands If feet Of sand.

strata above them, AMI heated from te-
