MONTANA MEN.
They Discuss Territorial Affairs
in St. Paul and Give a
Good Account
OF the Future State-The Route
fer the Northern Pacific Butte
Branch Settled.

Montana Men and Measures Discussed by
Citileu of the New state.
Paul Mccormick and 7. C.. Power,
two prominent residents OF Montana,
arrived in the city yesterday on their
way home from Washington, where
they have been watching with pleas
ure the distribution Of territorial Off
ces by Pres't Harrison. Mr.. Power is
one Of the leading republicans Of the
new state, and was delegate from
Montana to the national con sention,
at which Harrison was nominated.
OF late there has been considerable
mention Of Mr.. Power as the senator
from the new state, but he declined 10
either deny or confirm that he was a
candidate, and when asked direct,
neatly evsded an answer by saying:
1.-THE people of Montana are busy
class of people, and in the present state
Of affairs, are giving but little atteh-
tion to politics. IL fact, there are no
candidates for any office at present,
as everyone Is awaiting developments.
The appointment to tine territorial
offices Of Montana men by President
Harrison has given very genersl satis-
faction. OF course there were some
differences of opinion as to who should
be appointed, but these were happily
adjusted, aid there is universal com
mendation Of the fact that Montana
men only were given the choice
and that the day of the 'carpet-bagger'
has passed. The legislature will not
be elected until October next. The
main fight will be for the senatorship,
but at this late day il is impossible to
tell who will be selected. Matters are
different in Montana from what they
are in DAKOTA, where they have all
their candidates out and are exhibiting
their merits ana preparing states. Our
people are too busy for that, and it
would do little good anyway, as the
republican party, which is in the ma
jority, Will not give an Office to q man
because he wants it,
Referring TO the last legislature, he
said:
II have been proud, and / think
with good reason, with the acts Of our
last legislature, which watched very
closely during the last ten days IL was
in session. When contrasted with
most legislatures, which In late years
have been largely composed Of adven.
turers. 1t was a splendid working
body. During those ten days not one
out Of the forty men in both branches
was drunk, and everyone worked In.
cesssntly for what he conceived were
the best interests of Montana. II q
bill passed which some Of the business
men thought might be preiudicial to
their interests they could 60 to any
one Of the members and ask that IL be
reconsidered, and If they could present
satisfactory reasons for amendment IL
was done."-Pioneer Press.

asked him what were the chances for cor,
nering the sugar supply of the world.
Spreckels replied bluntly that it could not
be done so long as he controlled the large
cane plantation on the Sandwich Islands and
the beet sugar product of California. Upon
this information the bankers declined to ad-
vance the money, and the Magdeburg syn
dictate was forced to appeal to the American
sugar trust, and thus the details of the
scheme to defraud the revenue by artificial
c0loring was exposed.

PORTLAND, AUG. 0, 1889.
INHEmerits of theJen-
Il ness-Miller System
of dress Patterns,
and patterns for every
thing else worn by women,
are evidenced by the fact
that the leading newspa-
pers in nearly every large
city in the United States
have devoted columns of
reading matter endorsing
the system.
The patterns cover every
article that goes into wom-
ans dress, draughted on
artistic and hygienic prin-
cipals and their great supe-
rioIity over all others has
been demonstrated.
They include original
designs for dainty morning
dresses, teagowns, theatre,
ball, and reception cos
tunes, house and street
dresses, also a complete
system of bifurcated under
garments.
Recognizing the grow
ing interest in this radical
departure from old methods
and the universal tendency
towards the adoption Of
the newer and more COM
nonsense ideas regarding
woman's dress, we have
secured the exclusive
agency here for the Jen-
ness-Miller paper patterns
and the publications issued
by the company.
A complete line of all
the most practical of their
innovations are ready now
in our corset department,

cause there's more ROOM
