We were in error in stating that the Indian who murdered his wife and child, in the San Carlos calaboose, was fired by military direction.

THE CesIIxG RAILROAD.

Col. c. s. Masten, in company with A. F. Mcdonald, J. s. Armstrong and others whose names we fail to learn, starts Monday to go over the old Hay den survey from Tempe to point near Globe. The object in view IS to discover the most direct route for a railroad from this place to Globe, and to connect with the Mineral Belt road. Mr. Mcdonald surveyed the route for Judge Hayden about seven years ago, and It is at present the most direct line known to Globe, passing at point within seven miles of the Silver King. The building of railroad be- tween these points will be of untold i'm portance to this valley. II it connects with the Mineral Belt it will give us the benefit of competition between the two great trunk lines crossing this territory. It will also tap the eztsn. sive timber and coal regions, which means the building up of manufactur- ing, industrial and other enterprises in thls valley.-Tempe News.

OBITUARY.

William Y. Kingsbury, on Satur- day last, surrendeYed the scales of justice as Probate Judge of Gila coun- ty, and entered the portal we call death, but lett behind a name of pleasant memories. He was a resi- dent of Globe for eleven years, and during that time his life was one of sorrowful care and work without com pensating return, and becoming men tally depressed from that cause and alleged domestic trouble, his hitherto strong will succumbed so far that he refused necessary food and required medical aid, and because of that deter imitation his link of life was severed. Thus an honest, moral and industrious
 man was cleansed from earthly leaven.

"The world do move," as the negro
preacher says. Here is George William
Curtis, who few years ago was bitter
partizan, now advocating unity and broth
erhood on the field of Gettysburg. The
occasion was inspiring and he was equal
to it. His description of the Confederate
charge is fine He says: Doubtful the
battle hung and paused, then a formida-
BILE bolt Of war was forged on yonder
wooded height and launched with with
ering blasts and roar of fire against the
foe. 1t was living bolt and sped as if
resistless. 1t reached and touched the
flaming line of the embattled Blue. It
pierced the line for one brief moment in
the sharp agony of mortal strife. Itheld
its own. 1t was the supreme moment Of
the peril Of the Union. 1t was the heroic
crisis of the war, but the frey force was
spent in one wild, last, fierce struggle.
Brave men dashed along and in the next
moment that awful bolt of daring cour-
age was melted in the fervent heat of an
equal valor and the battle of Gettysburg
was fought"

There is to be found an occasional re-
publican in Cascade county who questions
the sincerity Of purpose OF the Great
Falls Leader, the new republican paper
there. Why question it? The salutatory
should suffice, and if that does not an
swer those in doubt are respectfully re-
ferred to Jerry Collins.-Boulder Age.
All that we desire to say in response is
that the Leader pays its printing bill
promptly each week, and that is
certainly very much to its credit.
The Tribune has just as much
and no more to do with the Leader as
it has with the business man who leaves
an order at this office for Job work of any
description. The editor of our esteemed
contemporary at Boulder was inclined to
be facetious on this subject in his ellis
tory of Montana journalism" but If his
comment is as faulty in other respects as
in this, his production has but little merit
and entitled to the least possible cred
ence my. ..M.." n.. "" ....a

A great plain extends from the right
bank of the river to the Highwood noun
tains, and on this plain are found few
scattered wheat fields inclosed far in adj
vance as to the season of those Of Mime
sofa, and giving promise of wonderful
crop. To the west extends the Sun river
valley, stretching up to the main range of
the Rocky mountains. Columns might
be occupied descanting on this wonderful
site, destined, no doubt, to be one of the
great cities of the union at no distant
day and the country surrounding it.
Mr.. Hill says that the editors returned
to St. Paul full Of wonder and enthusi-
asm for the great country they had vlsi-
ted, as far west from the Mississippi as
the Atlantic is east Of it, and which had
been found so full Of promise to the en-
terprising settler, who will bring intelli-
gence and industry to wait on thrift and
energy, and carve out for himself and
children, and children's children, homes
and competence, if not at1luence. Broad
ened and elevated by the knowledge ac-
quired by personal observation and the
better for the friction of mind with mind
during the ten days of constant inter
course, the travellers legretfully babe
each other God-speed.'' .=M.M..
We would add: "Come again, gentle
men. Your habits Of observation ena-
bled you to see a great deal in short
time, but there is much still to be seen
for Montana is three times the size Of
New York and is exceeded in area among
our commonwealth only by Dakota,
California and Texas"

Public sentiment seems to favor a
Lewis and Clarke celebration annually
in June. We do not mean festival in
honor Of the neighboring county, but one
to commemorate the first visit of the
great explorers whom jefferson sent
forth to examine the Louisiana purchase
and see what kind of deal we had
made with Napoleon Bonaparte. The
annual celebration could be an inexpen-
sive one, at which the deeds Of Lewis
and Clarke might be recalled and papers
be read on the early history Of Montana
by Colonel Wheeler and others. Then
all might adjourn to partake of the Giant
spring. When the centenary of Lewis
and Clarke's visit comes round in 1904, a
city Of 100000 people may celebrate it
here . @m. ... .o ...

HOW MONTANA STANDS.

The Dun Mercantile Agency, which
has no special interests to serve, makes
an excellent report on Montana. 1t says:
"The present and future prospects for
trade throughout Montana are based large
ly upon its producing capacity, indicated
by facts and figures CLEANED from official
scources, which place the value Of i'm
proved farming lands at $22,000,0 1000
producing an amply supply of cereals
and grasses for home consumption. A
large portion of our area is devoted to
pasturage, on which the live stock values
are as follows: cattle, $2O,0OO,O00; horses
and mules, $7,500,0O0; sheep, 1922, 1926.
The mining Of precious metals also re-
ceives large share Of attention, the out
put for 1887 being $s5,743,379. Copper,
iron, coal and lead are found in large and
paying quantities and are being develop
ed, Cities and villages indicate healthy
growth and improvements of Substantial
character are noted in every direction.
The growth Of the entire territory is
probably best indicated by that Of Hele-
na, its capital, where three years ago the
population did not exceed 5000, and now
numbers between $4,000 and 10000, with
five banks, having a paid up capital of
$1,s3z665-deposits of $6,479,560. Trade
is quiet, but a healthy condition exists;
failures are few and insignificant. Col
lections are easily made, and merchants,
as rule, pay with more than usual
promptness. Real estate is changing
hands at reasonable prices. Railroad
building is being rapidly pushed forward.
Sattlers and investors are atLracJeu froui
all quarters, and altogether the outlook
is promising"

Our contemporaries continue to pour
in with gratifying reports Of the visit
which the editors-in-chief made to Great
Falls as members of the Montana Press
association. Captain Mills, "the dean Of
Montana journalism and discoyerer of the
New Northwest" speaks of the session
in thoughtful terms and approves highly
the suggestion of Mr.. Paris Gibson, that
Montana should take steps to attract here
people who are in quest of homes. He
also publishes an excellent report by Ad-
Olson Smith on the Sand Coulee coal
mines. "Good wine needs no blush," but
nevertheless we value highly the good
opinion of all who examined our coal
fields.

ant wheat fields which he observed on

ley & Clark stock farm at Toston show
what energy and enterprise will accom-

This promises to be an important year
for the mining industries of Northern
Montana. The progress of the smelter
here has encouraged the miners Of
the Belt mountain region, which is full
of prospectors. The discoveries at Tiger
have been made in good time and will
undoubtedly lead to important develop
ments. The strikes in the Sweet Grass
hills where copper and silver have just
been found, will likewise direct attention
to this northern region. These discover
les concern Great Falls very closely since
it is here that the ores will come for re-

1t is sad fact that as cities become
large and rich they become less patriotic.
Judge Douglas and other old timers re-
call how Helena in common with Virgin
ia City and other places would in past
years celebrate the Fourth Of July with
great heartiness. Last year the old pa
triotic flame reappeared in Helena, but
on Wednesday she allowed horse racing
to supersede procession and other time
honored observances. 1t is no excuse
that New York, Chicago and St. Paul did
likewise.

Judge Hedges set good example to
all journalists who feel any sense of re-
sponsibility. Instead Of making surmises
as to the Sand Coulee coal fields, he went
there and saw for himself. The result is
seen in the clear, business-like report that
we have already published. We observe
also that the Helena Herald acknowled-
ges in graceful terms the warm hearted
hospitality of this city to the journalists.
That welcome was disinterested on the part
of our people, who hold the press in high
esteem, but the generous words of the
Heralds.sze none the less grateful to our
fellow citizens.
