For the year ending Dececber 81, 1887, of the
condition Of the
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-05-30

There are "kickers' everywhere. Here
Is the Helena correspondent Of the Liv-
lngston Enterprise opposing with keen
satire the Helena smelter. He says: "In
the first place, everything required in op-
Grating the plant-such as coke, coal
charcoal, fluXes and the ore itself--will
have to be shipped to the smelter. This
will give business to the several railroads
which center here and prove greatly to
the advantage of Helena. No water
power exists here, and consequently a
greater investment will be required to
erect the plant and furnish it with neces-
sary power. 1t will also increase the oper-
atlng expenses greatly, requiring an addi-
tlonal disbursement of many thousands of
dollars annually; and this, too, will prove
a great boon to Helena and vicinity. 1t
may be argued by rival towns, Jealous of
the capitals prosperity, that the stock
holders may object to these needless adj
dltlonal expenditures in the construction
and operation of their plant. NV answer
TO this is that the increased price of city
property that will accrue by reason of it's
location ut this place will offset any loss
IN the operation of the smelter, making it
Il success to Helena and vicinity from the
start, with Il prospect that it will shortly
rival the great reduction works at Omaha"
we note that the ingenious corre
spondent ciphers out no gains for the
eastern stockholders that are to be. Where
Go they come in? Probably he is Col.
Sellers in disguise.

As the press of the territory has had a
good deal to say regarding the decision
in the case of Choteau VS.. Cascade, it is
but justice to Judge Bach to state that
his decision was not to the effect that the
Indebtedness could be paid in bonds.
That question was not decided at all but
in an Glitter dictum, during the discussion
of the demurrer he gave it as his opinion
that the debt could not he so paid. In
this opinion of the judge--he made no
decision to that etfdrt--some OF the lead
ing attorneys Of the territory do not agree
and the question will finally be determin-
ed in the supreme court. At the time
the decision was published nothing was
known here of this obiter 0actUm and the
differences drawn by the Tribune were
he ones that would naturally be drawn.

In recent interview, reported by the
Helena Herald, Colonel Broadwater out
| lined the schedule for the Butte division
which will soon be open for traffic. He
said: ",The Montana Central branch to
Butte will prove one of the greatest boons
to the city. 1t will shorten up the time
of travel between the two greatest cities
Of Montana, and will provide all needed
conveniences necessary to the safe and
quick transportation Of passengers, mails
and freight. We are going to run two
trains a day from each place and will
make the trip in three hours. The local
train, which will be provided with par
lor car, will leave Helena about T O'Clock
in the morning, get to Butte at 49, and
leave there at p M, returning to Helena
aboutS-thus giving Helena men chance
to ride over to Butte in the morning
spend seven hours there and return the
same day. The through train from st.
Paul will reach Helena about o'clock in
The afternoon and Butte about 6:3O. The
other way there will be equal train facili-
les, making four passenger trains day
over the road. This will fill our streets
with Butte men and will no doubt induce
many to make their residence in Helena.
With new water works, new smelter. new
railroads and new street railroads Hele- |
mas prospects will be materially en-
HANGED" According to this arrangement
the through train would arrive here
lbout II o'clock. As for local trains, the
coal traffic between Great Falls and Butte
viii in itself establish constant communi-
cation.

Mason of Illinois strove the other day

Mason of Illinois strove the other day
to enliven the tariff debate. ga few
years ago when brigadiers got back into
congress the prodigal son act worked very
well, but now it did not fit their case,
said he. "You are back in your fathers
house because he caught you by the nare
of the neck and the seat OF yonr pants
and brought you back. You did not say,
Father, Have sinned against thee; am
not worthy to be one of thy family; make
me hostler.' You come in at the front
door, wipe your feet on the carpet and
try to drink out Of the first extinguisher.
You don't wait for the fatted calf. You
put your feet on the table and say, what
I want is veal" Laughter. Which re-
minds us that Montana is still compelled
to feed on the husks outside Uncle Sans
house. Another member added interest
to tile debate by displaying three pairs Of
homemade stockings. Perhaps some
other member will carry in sheep.

The coming congressional inquiry is
causing some concern among the organs
Of the "Big -Four" in Chicago. The most
effectual way to fight that monopoly would
be to encourage the establishment of a
great cate market at st. Paul, which is
within few days journey Of the vast
herds of northern Montana. The stock
yards there, which are under the efficient
superintendence of H. M. Littell can ac-
commodate 10000 cattle, 10000 hogs and
10000 sheep. So there can be no mis-
givings as to the capacity of the yards.
So long as stockmen pour into Chicago
5000 cattle daily, prices will be depressed
while if the northwest would kill and
its own beef there would be
decided gain for all concerned.

Our esteemed contemporary at Fort
Benton, which is greatly given to worry
and impetulance, is now apparently
anxious about the Sand Coulee coal, and
in asneering article says: ',rhe Manitoba
and Montana Central are hauling all the
coal they use from the east. Northern
Montana is needing and anxiouslv WAIT
ing for Sand Coulee coal. Where is lte,
We will just state that Northern Mon
tana and the rest of the territory will soon
be amply supplied with this article. The
company have just completed the road to
the mines and are now putting in side
tracks, turn tables, ballasting the road
and otherwise preparing for the heavy
tfalllc to which it will soon be subjected
Arrangements are already completed for
working the mines. The gentlemen who
Will have charge of the work will arrive
here in few days, and promptly thereaf-
Ter large force of men will be mt to
work, when our esteemed but always i'm
patient neighbor at Fort Benton will have
its inquiry answered.

A Wyoming paper assails Governor
Leslie because Foster managed to get
away, but the real facts are that the alleg-
ed culprit was held under bail for three
weeks awaiting the convenience of the
Wyoming authorities who showed re-
markable hardness in claiming him. The
attacks of the Wyoming journal will fall
harmless on Governor Leslie, whose high
character is proof against such assaults.
Perhaps this is an attempt to defend the
Wyoming authorities for their apparent
negligence?

Mr.. Miner whose views on the cattle
interests are printed today, is well quail
fed to speak on the subject He has had
much practical experience, which has
been crowned with success The reforms
which he proposes are all practicable. In
the matter of breeds he favors the Here
fords, but recommends Polled Angus for
stock farming. Mr.. Miner, who repre-
sents the progressive element in the cat
tile industry, naturally finds much to in
terest him at Great Falls, where he is a
property owner.

settled and no subsequent discovery OF
minerals invalidates it. We don't see
how this'i is going to prevent the develop
ment of the mining country. Ii pros
pector finds good ore on railroad land he
is not going to notify the railroad com
pany's agent of the fact. He will straight
way proceed to buy the quarter section
containing the vein as wild mountain
land, at one or two dollars per acre. The
company neither prospects nor mines,
but is constantly offering its lands at low
figures to anybody that wants to buy
them, wholly irrespective of the POSSIBLE
tiles of such lands containing ores OF the
precious metals
In the 100000 of Montana acres mod
estly claimed by the Northern Pacific
there are thousands of acres Of mineral
lands which the prospector has never
trod nor is likely to. Besides who will
assert that the prospector with nothing but
the grub-stake and few tools provided by
his friends is in a position to determine
what is mineral land? Hundreds Of
prospectors doubtless viewed the Drum
Lummon mine without surmising its i'm
mense value until finally Tom Cruise by
hard work proved that the mountain was
rich in mineral. The Northwest Maya
zine assumes that the prospector will not
notify the railroads agent of any mineral
land that he discovers. He may not, but
in these days Of publicity the strike would
soon become known to and the company

Commenting editorially on the Great
Falls reduction works, the Helena Herald
says: Notwithstanding we were in a
measure prepared to see much the sight
OF the works laid out as we'll as what had
already been accomplished, astonished
us. Here are going to be the greatest
smelling works in America, the Swansea
OF the United States. Here is the power
IN sight and the evidence that men of am
pie means are demonstrating their faith
by their works."

The Tribune has printed for the &c.
commodation of the Great Falls bar the
rules laid down for the guidance Of the
lawyers. The rules seem very plain,
but the simple minded citizen who I'M
dertakes to plead his own suit will soon
ma himself in maze when the lawyers
spring on him "demurrers," "continuan-
ces" and the like. He will soon wish he
never obtained leave to plead. Such is
the glorious uncertainty of the law.

MINERAL LANDS.

referring to the mineral land question
the Northwest Magazine says:
Yet there are editors who maintain
that congress should pass law, or the
land office issue an order, requiring the
railroad company to prospect for evidence
to show that its granted lands do not he
long to it. The existing law is plain and
equitable. When surveys of the pubic
lands are made, which is never done nv
the government until long after the noun
tain lands have been thoroughly prospect
ed by miners, such sections embraced in
the grant to the railroads as are not
known to contain minerals are patented
to the company. The title is then finally
