Railroad Accommodation.

It seems about time that the Northern
Pacific company was putting on better
accommodations for railway travel be-
tween here and Drummond. But one
dingy coach which was originally re-
quired is all we have now, and the pat
ronage is certainly deserving of as good
treatment as anywhere on the main
line from Helena west. It is not neces-
sary to inform that company that this
branch is paying them better than any
other of the same length that they con-
troll. ANY one who has travelled on this
branch and on that from Garrison to

Missoula will substantiate our saying
that there is more travel on this one
than on that where they use the finest
coaches and more OF them than is re-
quired, while the single one on the
Philipsburg and Drummond branch is
not even comfortable, and is almost al
ways crowded. It is to be hoped that
the company will soon give us better &C.

Miners Union Day.

Miners Union Day.
To-day is Miners Union Day, and this
means whole lot in the mining camps
of Montana. In Butte and other places,
the celebration of the day will be car
ried on in an extensive scale and taken
as whole it may be called almost a
second Fourth of July. Business will
be suspended and the entire day and
evening given up to tbs celebration of
one of tue greatest events for the pros
perlty OF the communities in the mining
districts. and also that of the great
army of underground @toilers of the
territory.
In Granite, the celebration will be
one of the greatest magnitude ever be-
held on the hill. The procession, ora
tlons and other parts of the celebration
will be carried on with the greatest care
and appropriateness and will DO much
toward building up the principles of the
Miners Union organizations. 1t will
show to the world the laudable purposes
they are banded together for, and instill
in the minds of all the genuine, un-
selfish and just principles of the Miners
Union.
The day will end up with grand ball
in the evening at knights of Labor hall,
which of course will be a grand success.
A number of Philipsburg people have
slgnified their intention of attending,
and there will doubtless be a large at
tendance from the outside camps sur
rounding Granite.

Lot jumping at Granite.


Granite was the scene of much excite
ment last Friday when it was learned
that portion of the townsite had beer
jumped by Mike and Ed. Moore, anc
everyone who lived in that section tool
hand in the deal and commenced jump
ing the property on which tney lived
and any other that was thought to be
jumpable. Fences were hastily con
structed around many pieces of ground
and men and women alike stood guard.
ing their property with stove pokers
brooms, and various other implements OF
torture, from the jumpers. The ground
in question has always been supposed to
be the property of the Granite company,
and they have collected the rents from
the same for over year and have held
the ground on location, but have not
had it patented. Last year Ed. Moore
sunk we'll 100 feet deep near his hotel
and claims to have found a ledge in the
we'll which entities him to locate the
ground as mineral land, and unless the
Granite company can prove their loc; :
tion on the property to be lawful they
will have hard fight to retain posses
sion. The reason of Mr.. Moore jumping
the ground, he says, Is from the fact that
when he erected his hotel there Captain
Plummer, who was at that time superin-
tendent of the Granite, promised to give
him lease on the ground for number
of years, but failed to do SO until it was
too late. Recently Mr.. Moore went to
Supt. Weir and asked for the lease.
which was refused. and bill for ground
rent was presented instead. This some
what angered Mr.. Moore and he pro-
ceeded to jump. The matter will soon
be ventilated in the courts, and what the
result will be Is puzzling every body
Weir, of the Granite, is
as certain that the company has title to
the ground, and not Mr.. Moore. as the
latter gentleman is the reverse.

A SUBJECT IN WHICH WE ARE ALL MORE
oRLEss INTERESTED.
To cure cold quickly it must be
properly treated as soon as the first
symptoms appear. Do you know the
first symptoms? if not, you will un-
doubtedly remember having them at
numerous times and that you did not
consider them ut all serious or even
worthy of your attention. They are
a dry loud cough, thin white coating
on the tongue and profuse watering
discharge from the nose. Any ono or
more of these symptoms is natures way
of telling people they have taken cold,
and gives them ample time to cure it
within two days if they desire to. The
free use of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy will restore the system to healthy
condition within that time. II however
the cold is neglected and allowed to
become settled in the system several
days or even week may be required
to effect a cure, us nature must then
take its course and all that can be done
is to aid nature in freeing the system Of
the cold, which is best accomplished by
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It will open the secretions and loosen
and relieve the cold in less time than
any other medicine or treatment; it
seems to undermine cold and to COM
pletely eradicate it from the system, as
evidence of its superior excellance, we

registers of the mountain had put trick
upon him, and having dosed him with
liquor had robbed him Of his gun. Wolf,

He whistled after him and shouted his

with any Of the party, to demand his

found himself stiff In the joints, and
wanting in his usual activity. "These
mountain beds do not agree with me" !"
thought Rip, "and If this frolic should
lay me up with fit Of the rheumatism,

Wrinkle" With some difficulty he got
down into the glen; he found the gully
up which he and his companion had as
cended the preceding evening; but to his
astonishment mountain stream was
now foaming down it, leaping from rock
to rock, and filling the glen with bab-
bling murmurs. He, however, made
shift TO scramble up Its sides, working
his toilsome way through thickets of
birch, sassafras and witch hazel, and
sometimes tripped up or entangled by
the wild grapevines that twisted their
coils and tendrils from tree to tree and
spread kind of network in his path.
At length he reached TO where the
ravine had opened through the cliffs to
the amphitheatre; but no traces OF such
opening remained. The rocks presented

torrent came tumbling In a sheet of

basin, black from the shadows Of
the surrounding forest. Here, then.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
| From our Regular Correspondent. ]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 1889.

| L
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 1889.
Mr.. Cleveland has sent to Congress
communication from the Secretary
of State in regard to the troubles in
Samoa. He also sent a message OF
his own which effectually disposes OF
the charges made in many republi-
can papers that the administration
was neglecting American interests in
Samoa.
All the papers in the Haytien case
have also been submitted to congress,
and they are equally creditable to the
patriotism and good sense OF the adj
ministration.
The u. s. Navy will soon be in a
condition to compete with that of
any nation, unless the republican ad-
ministration and congress again
adopt the policy by which in "a years
they succeeded in destroying it, while
spending millions of dollars with fa-
vored contractors. The House COM
mittee on naval affairs has just COM
pleted the naval appropriation bill,
which amounts to $20,0O0,000. The
bill authorizes construction Of dyn-
amite cruiser on the pattern of the
Vesuvius, which on it's recent trial
trip attained the greatest speed on
any vessel afoat, and o $500 ton
cruising monitor on the plan prepar-
ed by Representative Thomas, of
Illinois.
Another foreign diplomat seems
desirous Of following in the footsteps
of Lord Sackville. He has been In
terviewed in newspaper, and has
impudently criticized the action OF
the Senate in passing the Edmunds
resolutions on the Monroe doctrine.
He is wiser than Lord Sackville, in
that he does not allow his name to
appear. But it is certain TO get out
sooner or later, and if the published
interview is authentic, we shall pro-
badly have to send another foreign
meddler home to learn better man
neIs.
The contest over the speakership
of the next Hause is rapidly develop
ing into regular kilkenny cat fight
among the republicans. Two fac
tions, one led by Messers Cannon
and Reed, and the other by Messers
Burrows and Mckinley, had quite q
spirited spat ON the floor of the
House this week. Mr.. Reed got in
to passion when he saw how he was
losing the leadership which he has
held undisputed for four years. This
fight was the result Of some fine
work on the part of Mr.. Blaine. He
has espoused the cause Of Mckinley
and is deter mined if possible to have
him elected Speaker. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
30 confident is Blaine Of being the
next Secretary OF State, that he has
already been making promises to
members OF the next House, Of pat
ronage under the State department.,
in order TO make votes for McKin-
ley.
Petitions, said TO represent over
fourteen million persons, were pres
ented 10 the Senate wednesday in IA
vor of the Sunday Rest bill The
petitions were gotten up by the w.
Q. T. u.
Some idea OF the reason and sense
in the Senate tariff bill may be gath
cred from the fact that the republi-
cans by a solid vote refused to agree
to an amendment putting salt on the
free list in place Of Altar Of Roses.
Salt is used by everybody, and
should be made as cheap as possible,
while Altar Of Roses is only used by
A few wealthy people.
