Another Newspaper in Bozeman.

We are reliably informed that Mr..
George Anderson, who for the past year
has been business manager and associate
editor of the Avant Courier, has decided
to commence the publication of third
weekly newspaper in Bozeman, to be
called the Montana Register. The ini-
tial number will make its appearance
some time next month. Mr.. Anderson
is practical newspaper man, having
been engaged in the newspaper business
in Wisconsin for several years prior to
his removal to this city, and has the rep.
utation of being an able and versatile
writer. We are not informed in relation
to the political complexion OF the news
paper. On the liquor question, how
ever, the editor informs us, it will de de-
cidedly opposed to the traffic and in iav-
or of all legitimate measures for reduc-
ing it to minimum, with a view to ITS
ultimate destruction. The editor is OF
the opinion that intemperance is one of
the greatest evils that menaces society,
and hence the Register on this question
will utter no uncertain sound. While
we are of the opinion that two weekly
newspapers are sufficient for city the
size of Bozeman, at the same time VIZ
are aware that in journalism, as well a:
in the mercantile world. competition il
the life of trade, and it is barely possible
that the publication Of the Register may
benefit, rather than injure, the business
of the papers already established.

As to Admission.

In spite of the effort in the Senate to
complicate the admission ofthe four Ter
ritories by bills for the division of Da.
kota and for tie addition of a portion OF
Idaho to Washington Territory, the
opinion of those who have discussed the
subject with welI.advised politicians in
Washington is that there is the best Of
reasons for believing that the Springer
bill has good chance of passing both
houses. The Democratic party in the
lower house will be united in favor of il
and with the votes OF Senators Stewart
and Stanford in the Senate its passage
there is assured. These Senators are
reported to be in favor of the admission
of the four Territories as they stand. II
is to be regretted that the act in ques
tion is only an enabling act, and that the
Territories have to 60 before the mex
Congress with their Constitutions fol
approval, but as this is the best that cal
be obtained in presidential year, th'
Territories must be thankful if they ge
even that.-Miner.

ARB0R DAY.

Gov. Leslie has named the third Tues
day of April as Arbor Day and requests
that every citizen observe the day as far
as practicable throughout the commoh-
wealth by planting trees, identifying
homes, cemeteries, highways. &c.
Il exhort all who have charge of, or
teach in public schools that they "direct
and train the youth in tree planting and
dec ,ratlon By the practical Observance
of that day." and putting the children
in memory, that Gods first gift TO man
was "every tree that was pleasant to the
sight or good for fool" that mans first
effort in the world was to tress and keep
the garden. that one of Gods first COM
mandments 10 the children of 1sreal in
possessing the land Of Palestine was To
"plant all manner of trees for food," and
one of the ancient emblems Of peace
plenty and contcntment was "every
man living under his own vine and fig
tree"
We trust thai the citizens of this val,
ley both in the country and town will
accept The advice of the governor and
add TO the beauty of our landscape foi
the ENJOYMENT of themselves as well as
those who are to follow after, for in 6
few years, if trees are not planted the
country will be denuded.

The Globe, in recent issue, has
picture of Miss Washington Territory
that calls for criticism. The artist evi-
IDENTIFY has never been out to Washing
ton territory or he would never paint
her modest young miss with bangs, etc.
Miss Washington is different kind of a
girl. In the first place, she is old enough
to vote. She also wears her hair short
and iauutily perched uponit is n mans
1 hat. She walks like man and talks
| politics like a man. She is busy about
everything but her household duties
In short, she is strong-minded female
who has never had an opportunity te
get married, and in consequence believes
that the reins of power should be taken
from man and given to her. The man
she thinks, should wash the dishes and
mind the baby. She likes to vote, and
to sit on a jury is her delight.

H.C. Davis, president of the Rocky

fairs of the company, said that the re-
cent action of congress in refusing to
consider the bill introduced in the inter

City road placed his company in posi-
tion to complete its line at an early day.
Mr.. Davis has left for the East and will
Immediately complete arrangements for
carrying on the work, and it it is ex-
pected that within fifty days of the time

finished, and the coal mines at Red

tons of coal per day. The Rocky Fork

An exchange well says, what would
you think of a man who, when work is
scarce would not try all the harder to
find it?" And yet you hear business
men say, or at least We have heard them
say here in Bozeman. THAT business is
so dull it will not pay to advertise" :"
The secret of success in these days Of
active competition has been discovered
by him who attracts new customers and
pushes out beyond natural neighborhood
limits. The test of business ability is
shown in periods of depression, when
nerve and good judgment win the day.
. Anyone can do business when it comes
to him, but when trade is dull active
exertion must be made to obtain it. A
spirightly advertisement during the
dull season when the business man "cuts
down expenses" by taking out his adver'
tisement is the time that the judicious
advertiser gets in his work. He calls at
tention to his stock, his bargains and
everything else that is capable of catch
ing the eye and leaving an impression
on the mind. lie keeps something new
before his readers and he makes every

The Great Storm.

BALTIMORE, March 17.-Defnite news
of the destruction of vessels, property
and the loss of life on the lower Chesa-
peake is beginning to come in. In the
Annamessex river an unknown schooner
was found with the crew of six men
frozen stiff. In Muddy creek a number
of oyster dredgers are known to have
persisted. The schooner Eastern Light
was lost with four of her crew. The
schooner Joseph Allen is also lost with
four men. 1t is impossible as yet to es-
innate the full damage of the storm
upon the Chesapeake, but from the data
at hand, between 100 and 200 vessels
were either cast ashore or sunk. From
thirty to forty were wrecked and prob.
ably thirty people were drowned. The
most of the vessels were oyster schoon'
ers. The inundations of the lowlands
of MARYLAND. Delaware and the Virgins
Peninsula have caused great loss. Or

ed to live in attics, and in one rcgior
vessels were carried 500 feet inland.

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING 2

The great strike Of the locomotive en-
gin ,ls on the @. read calls the attention
ofa New York paper To the fact that the
trav,l, mails, transportation and traflic
by rail in this country Of GO ,000,O 600 peo-
pie is in the hands Of one man-Chief
Arthur. One word from him Tan para
lie the industries of the whole country,
This is to be as much lamentci as the
fact that trusts and cornorations are us
lug undue means to control rirhtful and
honest labor. The powtr Of determining
railroad strikes should be vested in
collective body and not in the bands OF
one man, who, although conscientious
man to-day may be consummate rascal
tomorrow. The writer from which we
quote can well say
II is well to meet the matter squarely
to-day, as delay will not better it, for it
must be met sooner or latter any way.
We cannot lie down supinely and be
bound hand and foot by any one man or
a hundred thousand men in this land of
liberty, of progress and of prosperity.
Our sons in our own manufacturing in
dustries cannot learn trade unless a
union sanctions it. Yet, q foreign mech
anic can land upon our shores and be
welcomed into the folds of this said I'M
ion and be given work at once. Is not
this fact Of itselfa traversy on the justice
and liberty of trade in this country? We
welcome foreign labors here giving them
opportunities for betterment, for eleva'
tion IN the social and political scale ol
humanity, for making free men Of them,
which can be found nowhere else on
Gods footstool. In turn for all these
they have imported their trades unions
Knights of Labor, boycotts, strikes, etc.
which are throttling the life out of the
American apprentice system, and are
fast making the American mechanic and
other skilled workmen creatures of the
mast, Is it not about time that the peo'
pie, the honest thinking and sober act
ing masses of this country should look
more closely into these things and to sec
that some measures be taken ere it is toe
late, not only to counteract, but also te
prevent the further growth of these
evils?

rates, the Manitoba has kept up due pro-
