HELENA, Mont, Correspondence of the
LEADER. Aug. II, 1SS9.-The past two
months have been remarkable for two
weather and smoke. Only
on two occasions since the 7th day Of July
has the clear blue sky been visible to the
eye and as for rain, well, it has been SO
long since we have had any that our peo-
pie have almost forgotten what rain looks
or feels like.
The Broadwater Hot Springs Hotel will
he opened to the public on Monday Aug.
2G. This grand event will be duly cele-
brated by ball to which the whole peo-
pie of the Territory are respectfully in
vited.
The Territorial fair opens on the Goth |
of August at Helena aud will consist prin-
cipally in horse racing. Old "skinner"
will have charge of the honest and square
part of the races. No cheating will as
heretofore he permitted. Admission, Is
cents and $1.O0.
The old, young, good, bad and indifter-
ent statesmen that compose the member
ship of the Montana constitutional con-
vention are about through with their Ia
bors. Since the 4th of July this august
body has struggled manfully to give the
people a constitution that would receive
their endorsement. As a whole, the in
strument is worthy of the great empire OF
Montana and should receive the vote OF
every elector in the state. 1t is an easy
matter to find fault and pick out defects,
but could any other class of statesmen
have done any better? The door is open
for future amendments and the defects
can be remedied by the people. Only on
two or three occasions were party lines
drawn and as the democrats had a ma
iority of the delegates, as matter Of
course, they carried off the sour grapes.
But time will make all things even.
There is d feeling of satisfaction among
all, over the fact that President Hill has
ordered the building of the Great Falls
and Neihart railroad. This will instlll
new life iuto Northern Montana by open
ing up a section Of mining country that
has hitherto been "out Of the world" sc
far as being any real benefit to the peo
pie or country. Now that the door ii
open we hope to see boom that vii
eclipse anything that has ever heretofore
taken place in Montana, for the Belt re
zion is one vast mineral deposit OF gold
silver, copper, etc. Great Falls being tn
only outlet for this vast region, as mat
ter of course, will come in for larg
, share of the general prosperity that sh
so richly deserves.
The political pot has begun to boil an
both parties are getting ready to seal
each other with partisan water. The re
nnblican state convention meets at Ans
