IHE RAMIE.
(IrdNSiat{OB, communicated to the
St. Crojr Arjs)
Mr.. Frenzy, in the last session, read a
letter, dealing with a national question,
destined to enrich our country. That
letter is written by Mr.. Naudin. a Member
ofthp Academy of Sciences, actually Direct
or Of a Laboratory at Autjbes.-
Antilles, June So.
My dear fellow,
You have surely not forgotten that You
sent me Ramie seeds. coming from China,
through the care Of Faith n Dlvii, and tina
You requested me to SOW them here in order
to know whether the plant would grow.
1t succeeded beautifully. 1t is the white
Ramie. B8hmGrja NiUe0. After u winter,
without any protection, the young plants
were ~transplanted aud are now 80 to go
centimetres high Q9 to % inches). Next
year they might produce tillable stems.
But since a long time ago, we also have
the other kind, in our garden, the Green
Ramie, B9hmariG UtiljS or tenaeiSSjma, and
quite as lively as the former. 1t has enOr-
nous punches, each giving several hun
dreds of stout stems l metre 70 to 2 metres
high, (about 6 feet without manure or
irrigation.
In the first days of June they could be
cut down, and as at that time of the year,
there are vet, here, four warm months, we
could, surely, rely upon q second crop,
and, possibly, a third, before winter.
1t appears, therefore, that the culture OF
the two Ramies, would be profitable IN
Province, and much more sol Corsica and
AlgierS.
In order that you may judge of our Ra-
mes, my dear fellow, send you d basket
containing, /. a small bunch of White
Ramie stems (that, which you sent meg
which, begins its second year; 9. A whole
stem of Green Ramie, as it stands now;
3. A bunch of fbres, which detached from
about 10 stems, a work suitable for women
and children, which can be performed with

T00le's Bill.

We have read with some care the bill
introduced by Delegate Toole for the ad-
mission of Montana and can heartily
commend almost the entire bill. Instead
of having so many delegates at large in
the constitutional convention, IT seems to
us that 1t would have been quite as well
to have provided that the number should
have been twice as many as those entitl-
ed to seats in the House of Representa-
tves of the Territorial legislature and
that they conld all be nominated by
county conventions. We can see no rea-
son why any ordinance should provide
for the transfer Of the insane from the
support of the territory to the state any
moro than, other classes of unfortunates
now 80 supported. 1t strikes us as a
very unusual thing and not called for.
We are not going to turn barbarians by
acquiring the rights ofAmerican citizens.
There was nothing in our organic act re-
quiring us to support our insane. We
assumed to do it on the score of humanity
and have borne the burden patiently,
through it has proved an unusually and
unnecessarily heavy one. We like the
insertion of anii'polvgamy provisions.
And, for the sake of earlier action, we
perfer that no changes should be made
in our boundaries, though we should
much like to have the Cpur d'Alene
country added and would not seriously
object to taking in the whole of Idaho.
We see no reason why a single omnibus
bill might not cover all the four Terri
tories now patiently standing at the outer
door anxiously awaiting entrance.-Her

Kansas City, Jan. 2s.--The following

1t was somewhat of surprise to us
that Miles City should be tackled on to
this district by the supreme court; but
subsequent developments make the
change Of boundaries very plain. The
oftrepeatcd threat that the U. 5. court
would be removed from Bozeman, has at
last been fulfilled, and the court goes to
Miles City. No reason was given for this
change, rs far as we have been able to
hear, and it is very probable that none
ever will be, for the very good reason that
none exists. If it was necessary for
Miles to have the U. S. court, why was
that town taken from the Fourth and
placed in the Third district? Our pen-
Pile have borne their judicial troubI s
which have been many, with Il great
degree of composnre, which is now turn
ing to Indignation. They will hail the
day Of admission into the Union as one
of relief from petty spite of the carpet
bag Judiciary and vassalage more gall
ing than claims of iron
Again. the supreme conrt has issucd
an order that the terms of court in this
county shall be held in April and Octo.
Der. Everyone ought TO know that no
two months could have been designated
that would work greater hardship upon,
tie people of this county, who are all
farmers, than the two months named.
In april the people of the county are
all busy with their seeding and day
lost to them in this latitude of short
seasons is of incalcubable detriment. In
October they are all just as busy harvest
ing their grain, and the variable season
makes it imperative that they be in the
fields during every daylight hour in fair
weather. Thus it is that all the people of
this section are to man displeased with
the new order of things. and if this order
was made for the purpose Of creating
great displeasure, it has accomplished
even more than it's creator intended.
The people of this and Madison county
have hal taste of being dragged all the
way TO Miles City. because Judge Cebnrn
became piqued at some of our citizens
and to show his pity spite ordered the
court removed there. The experience,
under the present inadequate fees paid
by the government was not enjoyable, 4, to
say the least, and in short is nothing less
than an outrage. Gullatin rcsents this
piece of injustice and should take
measures to emphasize its objection in
way that will admit of no other inter
probation.

HADN'T HEARD FROM oALLATIN.

A lively scene presented itself at the
First National Bank this morning.
Cashier II. ii. Mund was kept busy CASH
ing the time checks held by the laborers
of the Rocky Fork & Cooke City road,
greatly to the satisfaction of all, The
non.payment of these laborers has caus-
ed much talk and comment, which has
been very trying to the officers and di-
rectors of the road, as well MS the con-
tractors. The Gazette has always held
that it was only n question of short
time before all these financial difficulties
would be settled. The paying of the
men will relieve the county from any
more annoyance from being obliged to
sec that they are boaded and taken care
OF. We are anxious to see this road
completed, which will, no doubt, be
done in the spring. Much praise is due
both Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Comings for
their untiring efforts IN staying in our
midst and assuring the people tha' all
would be settled. Many business men
would have taken the first train, and re.
mained away until all was settled. But
they propose to stay with it, and stand
by it, until no one has cause to "kick,"-

OUR NEW JUDGE.

In our news columns it will be seen
that Judge DeWolf, who has lately been
commissioned and confirmed as associate
justice of this territory, has been appoint.
ed to..tfis district ;and that the bound.
aries of the district have undergone the
usual annual change. Judge Dewolf is a
single man between the age of forty and
fifty years. He has been q resident of
this territory for several years and has
held many important positions, notably
that of Territorial Councilman, and is
noted for his eloquence and erudition in
the law, n profession in which he has
been pre- eminently successful both in This
territory and Utah.
1t is to be hoped that he may be in
duced to reside in Bozeman, where he
has number of acquaintanres, and
where nature has done so much To make
residence delightful. 1t was never sup
posed for moment that anyone but
Judge Bach would be assigned to this
district and while Bach is held in hi III
esteem here, the coming of DeWolf is
hailed with pleasure, especial, by the
lawyers, who regard him as man
learned in his profession, who will don
the judicial ermine with honor to him
self and the district as well. In Judge
McLeary, who goes to the second district,
the third had and recognized an able and
impartial judge, whose rulings were al
ways sound and were invariably endorsed
by the higher tribunal but the judge
early took dislike to the district, for
reasons that were not the fault of the
people here and was not satisfied until
he procured another. But while this is
the case, the people ofthe second district
arc assured that in Judge McLeary they
have a judge of great ability, man of
undaunted courage who cannot be tri
fled with. The CHRONICLE wishes the
departing judge very pleasant expert
ence in his new field of labors.

Ex Governor Crosby's Libel Suit.

Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. The
article which gave reason for this action
was published in March last in Wash.
ington letter from Miss Emma James, a
newspaper correspondent, and on account
of the prominence of the parties con.
cerned, gave rise TO considerable talk.
No names were mentioned but the char.
acters were so vel! described that this
indirect accusation was as cfiectiye as an
open charge. The paragraph said: "The
married daughter of very wealthy
member of congress, who has been here
with her father for two months as chate
lain of the household, her husband not
accompanying her, has her name on
mems lips in way that has changed the
expression of her shallow, pretty face to

A New Corporation.

Messrs. L. S. Houglh,, of Minneapolis,
Mimi, and A. ]. Edsall and J. II. Ellis.
worth, of ofGaliatin county, have associated
themselves in the formation of the Con-
ductcr's Mining & Milling Company, of
Montana, a corporation organized under
the laws of the territory for the purpose
of carrying on general mining and mill.
ing business in the county of Park. The
capital stock of the company is placed at
$2,000,000 in 100000 shares of par
valle Oslo each, and the term of the ex ..
istence of the corporation is fixed at
twenty years. The principal office ofthe
company will temporarily beat Bozeman,
but as stated in the foregoing its chief
operations will be in Park county.
Mr.. A ]. Edsall, of Bozeman, was IN
the city yesterday, and fu, nished us with
the information that the above company,
the organization. of which Is now COM
plete, is composed of one hundred rail-
road conductors besides the names given
as the incorporators. The company has
a group of eighteen gold and silver
bearing mines, Originally located by the
McGuire Bros. who now own an interest
in them,) on Six Mile creek, and it is
the purpose TO work and develop these
properties as the same can be done. But
three of these mines are developed at
present to any great extent, but all pros
pect well, and some of them bid fair to
prove vertable bonanzas. A wagon
road will be constructed to the camp
early in the spring over which to trans
port supplies and the machinery and
material necessary for the construction
of a conccntrator of daily capacity of
fifty tons. As developments progress it
is the intention of the company to add
to the capacity of their contemplated
plant until they will be able to handle
the output from all their mining pro-
perties. As some of our readers NAV
not be familiar with the lOration of Six
Mile, We will state that it is the first
gulch above old Emigrant, and has with
in its precincts some of the best mining
prospects in eastern Montana. The COM
pany has ample funds with which to
prosecute the work already outlined,
and there is every Indication that tfeir
operations Yil prove IL financial and
profitable success
As is evidenced by the organization of
the above company and other contem-
plated projects of the same character
the development of the mineral resources
of Park county are slowly but surely
assuming a very encouraging aspect. Let
the good work go on-Enterprise.
