RECALL.

"Love ME, or am slain - cried and meant
Bitterly true each word. Nights, morns, slipped

But shame to me, IL my best time be spent
On this pervcrse, blind passionl Are we sent
Upon planet just TO mate and die

That yields his day to natures sole iutentr
Or Is my life hut Marguertes OK eyed flower,
That should stand and pluck and fling away,

am surprised that the public do not
know that it is difficult thing to see a
ball while facing the grand stand. The
other day ball was butted ut Foutz
while he was pitching aud he lodged it,
The crowd yelled 'rats" and coward, -
The fact Is, Dave could hGrdly see the ball
not because it was necessarily swift, but be-
cause it was the same color as the grand
stand which he was facing. Nearly every
spectator has played ball only In nm open
field where he had horizon line, above
which the hnll could easily De seen against
the sky. But in an ircfosed fleld.it Is a
difficult matter to sec u ball well black
ened by use, in the intleld, IL IL comes
from the dark grand stand. 1t is this
that causes so many of the mysterious
NUTS aud misses which the public can see
no excuse for.--Basebal Player in

NEARLY half OF the month is gone
and yet there is nothing to show that
anybody is taking a particle of interest
in the city election which is billed to
come off the first Tuesday in April.
There is ample time yet for lively
campaign, but candidates should not
be hastily selected and there is not
any too much time in which to pick
out material. The manner of select
ing these candidates is n very delicate
question. If a committee nominates
a ticket it is denounced as "star cham
Der" proceedings, and if an open con-
vontion is held, that convention can
be easily packed in the interest OF any
one man. However, the people do
not feel bound by the action of a
convention, especially in case where
it is plainly evident that the bulk OF
those present 60 instructed and pre-
pared to force their candidate on the
people, and q matter who is selected
by that means, an opposition ticket
soon finds its way to the surface,
Probably no action will be taken in the
premises until the latter part OF next
week, when trouble will commence in
earnest.

CONGRESS is at last awakening to
the Importance of providing ut least u
semblauce OF coast defenses. and
has appropriated one hundred and
twenty millions to be devoted to that
purpose. Defenses at that price are a
pretty expensive !Hxury and may APP
pear unnecessary, but in the present
unprotected condition OF the seaboard
cities the country could not afford to
resent the most flagrant insult from

Two more eastern gentlemen Of
Democratic proclivities have been APP
pointed to offices in Montana by the
President. Mr.. Cleveland is using his
appointive power to make himself
solid in certain quarters. The terri
tories cut no figures in eleoting a Pres
ident, so il is not necessary for him to
bid for their support by selecting resi-
dents for government positions, but by
using little care he can pick out men
from various localities in New York. :
where the effect of the selection may
be the controlling of n few votes. Very

space was given to advertising the
gems than was devoted to the merits
OF the performers. From subsequent
developments both were proven to be
shoddy. But that was no bearing
upon the trouble that grew out Of the
over Jealous advertising of the dia-
monds. There is some law in Mon
tana by which any such property
l1(ound in the territory can be taxed,
Me legal construction of which we are
not acquainted with, and the enter
prising tax collector of Butte levied
upon these sparklers. A valuation
was placed upon the collection, very
modest amount compared with the
boasted value heralded through the
papers, and in order to get the bril-
hants out of hook the owner was COM
PEELED to disgorge an amount about
equal to the profits of the stand. OF
course he protested vehemently, and
the papers deplored the action OF the
officers at the time. Now the people
OF Butte are feeling the effects of the
action Of the vigilant official. The

Wells in the Arkali Country.

Several dug wells have been put Gown In

which underlies the country at depths OF
from eight to twenty feet, and on top OF
which is almost invariably layer Of sand or
fine gravel from one to two feet thick. This
water, therefore, percoiating through the
earth strikes this clay, and following it down
through the sand toward the lower portion
Of the valley is intercepted in its course by
these dug wells.
If the lower soil were impregnated with
alllaii, the water would take it up as IL
flowed through the soil, as alknn is extremely
soluble, and then the water when taken
from these wells would be more or less
strongly impregnated with the salts There
is, however, not tho slightest truce of alkail
in any shape; it is perfectly sweet and deli

soft as the purest rain water Indeed, the
alkal salts can be seen on the sides Of the
well from the surface down TO depth of
from eight to twelve inches, below which Is
no sign Of the salts. 1t follows, therefore,
