however, to cultivation here. The Ferry

stock.
The maps, afidavits, etc, relating to the
mineral character of the Townships which
are included in the Orc Elmo mining district,
were forwarded to the Mineral Land Com
mittee at Helena this week. They are very
complete, and will probably be the best
showing made to sustain the claim of min
| eral lands.

Despite the storms east the weather has
been moderate this week, with a gentle intl-
nation of spring in the air, and weatherwise
men have told US the winter is over. If
"winter fingers in the lap of spring. after
this month it will be a breach of decorum
which should be resented by all we'll regulat-
ed people who ave farms to cultivate or
herds to care for, to say nothing of our
townspeople who have garden truck to plant
and want to get the benefits of the water
works this season.
We acknowledge from Messrs. Leford &
Couture an invitation to the "Rigolau
Party" at the dancing academy, Butte,
Wednesday evening. Each gentleman must
bring two small articles, as nearly alike as
possible, leave one with the door keeper and
retain the other himself. In the language
of the invitation, ''then the fun will begin"
We presume the article left with the door
keeper is handed to a lady, and the two must
then find each other and become partners for
the evening. This is a Rigolau party.
Mr.. John O'Neill this week offers for sale
several buildings, to clear the way for a

Messrs. VIM. Coleman and Peter Lansing
are also perfecting arrangements for the con
struction of brick buildings covering their
entire frontage and extending back 50 feet.
AS soon as the weather settles Main street
will begin to make itself solld on the East
side. Hail the day.
Joseph Johnson, a bright lad raised and
we'll known here, and who has been in
charge of H. B. Bakers running horses at
Helena for some time, came over a few days
ago and bought for Mr.. Baker of Kohrs &
Bielenberg "Yum Yum, !" a bay flley fcaled
April. 1885,, by Regent, LIST dam Lydia by
imp, True Blue; I'd dam Miss Ella by En-
quirer. He also purchased another young
horse of the same firm, but we did not learn
particulars. Both went to Helena Monday
evening. The Baker stables will probably
come here for training Immediately after the
4th of July races at Helena.
We are in receipt from "Abiding Farmers"
Of a b%urlesque on Amateur Dramatics, very
well written and humorous, but with a wire
edge. We think it best to not publish it.
We believe in literary, debating and dra-
matte societies. 1t is not expected all will be
"village Hampdens," or unknown Booths or
Websters, but the debate, the drama and the
recitation are essential elements of educa-
ton in this country, and the study and prac-
tice of parliamentary laws, Of addressing the
public or presiding over an assemblage, are
not only privileges but duties of the citizen.
The masses are the masters in this Republic.
They cannot learn too early to think, to
study, to analyze, to form opinions and to
express them clearly and unembarassed in
public, to formulate them in writing, and to
do all according to the pa, liamentary forms
that are accepted as fundamental and proper
from the Senate chamber down. This can
only be attained by practice. Anything that
encourages and assists this is useful, and the
reasons therefor do not need to be amplified.
Therefore, whatever is done in that direction
is productive of good, and we cannot allow
the use of our columns ever for a little fun
that might be ~misconstrued. Live the Ly-
ceum; sseven Its errors lean to virtues side
CHESTNUTs!-SAMPLES AGAIN!
We have Just opened a nice new lot of
Parasols, Spring Shawls, Spring Wraps, and
Mems Hosiery-samples bought of a travel
ing salesman at a discount, enabling us to
sell them at the wholesale price. These are
