We publish today the statement of the
First National bank of this city, which,
as usual, makes q splendid showing: The
total resources of the bank are $685., $685..
so, an increase over those of any former
statements. The deposits amount to
nearly $500, 900, which is good exhibit
for Great Falls, and at the same time is
the very best evidence of the confidence
our people place in this financial insti-
tuition.
The weather for the past week has
been more like Florida weather than that
of this northern latitude. The bright,
clear, sunshiny days and pleasantly cool
nights make this the best climate in tile
world. While Minnesota and northern
Michigan have been having snow and
freezing weather, the thermometer here
was standing about rs during the day and
the mild balmy chinook wind made life
in Great Falls exceedingly pleasant.
Complaints about the delivery OF papers
sometimes come to the various newspaper
offices. This is right, but at the same
time is it just to blame altogether the
boys who carry the paper? The boys Of
the TRIBUNE office are only ordinary
mortals and a good deal like other boys
Yet in the discharge of their duties they
have usually been found faithful and
conscientious. Many times the paper is
delivered and the first passer-by picks it
up and carries it off with him and the
boy gets the blame for non-delivery.
Have little charity for the delivery boy.
The ladies of the Baptist church will
give, lemon supper at the Arion hall on
Friday, the 18th instant. The ladies
promise that this will be the most elegant
and entertaining event of the social sea-
son. There will be an excellent supper.
There will be also vocal and instrumental
music by the best amateurs in the city.
Some excellent recitations will also be
given. The ladies hope to see the hall
| full of people. This is the first enter
tainment of the kind that the Baptists
haze given. The proceeds will be devoted
to furnishing the new church. Tickets
may be had of W. M. Cockrill or j. B.
Leslie.
There is some inquiry as to when state
hood will come. Under the law the gov
ernor, chief justice and secretary must
canvass the vote on the constitution with
in 30 days after the election, or sooner if
all the returns are in. The returns may
be in and the canvass made within two
weeks Then the result will be certified
to the president, who, as soon as he has
had time to satisfy himself that the con
stitutiou is in conformity with the consti-
tuition of the United States, will issue hls
proclamation declaring Montana state
of the union. This may be done by the
first of November The constitution says
the terms of the new officers "shall begin
when the state is admitted" No official
notice will be required. As soon as it is
announced in the newspapers that the
president has issued his proclamation
they may at once proceed to take the oath
of office.

MIA LIQUID fruit remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It is pleasing to the eye, and to the taste,
