THE mining Journal" takes TIL
MINER to task for showing the need of q
bounty law or some other measure to de-
stroy the wolves, coyotes, and other
vicious animals that are said to be plen.
tiful in the grazing regions Of Montana
One Of the reasons given by the journal
for opposing a bounty law is the allega'
ton that cattlemen avoid tax-paying by
running their cattle from one territory
to another, when the assessors COM
around, and hence are not deserving Of
protection. A poor excuse is said to be
better than none, and this is the best
of the poor excuses put forth by the
journal" in opposition to the bill. OF
course there are two sides to this ques.
ton, as to all others. Bounty-paying is
not without its Objectionable features, il
is true, but it seems to be simply a choice
Of evils in the case in question, and
bounty-paying seems to be preferable to
allowing the districts to be overrun by
vicious animals. That cattlemen evade
taxes has little or nothing to do with the
question. Tie real point is, how shall
the Territory rid itself of the animals in
question ? The MINER will welcome any
better method than that of b~ounty-pay-
ing. Suggest one.

ST. VALENTINES DAY.

S1s thkAGN
Thursday was st. Valentines day. The
event Is not one which elders pay much
attention to now, although the blooming
lads and lasses just merging into their
teens set some store by the day.
In times gone by the girls and boys Of
old England and Scotland used to have a
Jolly time on st. Valentines day. A
learned traveller, named Mission, in the
early part of the last century, thus de-
scribed the custom:
IAN equal number OF maids and bachel-
ors get together, each write their true or
some feigned name on separate billets'
which they roll up and draw by way oil lots,
the maids taking the mems billets and the
men the maids, so that each OF the young
men lights upon a girl that he calls his
valentine, and each Of the girls upon q
young man that she calls hers. By this
means each has two valentines, but the
man sticks faster to the valentine that has
fallen to him than to the valentine to whom
he ia fallen. Fortune having thus divided
the company into SO many couples, the
valentines give balls and treats to their
mistresses. veal their billets several days
upon their bosoms or sleeves, and this
little sport often ends in love-"
Here is a pen picture Of a life incident
that will set the mind in reflective mood
with all who have seen their fortieth year
60 by:
Can you remember, portly, solid man OF
business, the first valentine you ever sent?
I'll warrant you can, with much more dis
tinctness than you can your last. 1t was
when you were an apple-faced school boy
and walked a mile every morning to the red
school house under the hill. You were
bashful in those far away, half forgotten
days, and you did not often dare to speak
to a girl. Blue-eyed Mary, who sat just
across the aisle from you, seemed just per.
lection to you then, and you saved up your
pennies for some weeks before Valentine day
to buy her q bit OF lace paper inclosing q
colored picture and bearing a gilt motto.
I'll warrant you remember as plain as if it
were but yesterday just what that motto
was, and just how ashamed you felt when
you put a stamp on the envelope contain.
ing it and sent your first drop letter."
Perhaps ia after years you came to know
Mary better, perhaps she laughed at your
valentine and perhaps she never knew whe
sent 1t. But it's your boy-not you-who
sends the valentine this year.

DEATH OF N. ID. ROOT.
The Injury That Led to It-Short Sketch
of His Career.

The Injury That Led to It-Short Sketch
of His Career.
Wednesday the sad news went east from
Tacoma that Assistant General Superin'
tendent Root had died there at half-pas.
/, from an accident received on Tuesday
last. Mr.. Root had gone to Tacoma in
company with Chief Engineer Kendrick on
q visit OF inspection. The accident from
which his death resulted is thus described
in Wednesdays Independent:
Mr.. Root vas injured by the cable OF a
ballast unloader. The train was on a curve
and the engine had coupled to the cable to
pillow it off. The cable was much longer
than the train, 30 that the engine was
about seven cars length from the first car.
The cables we're strung along the ground at
the end OF the ties outside of the curve.
Mr.. Root was talking to Mr.. Horne and did
not realize that there was any cable there.
The conductor gave the engineer the signal
to 20 ahead, and the engineer being on the
wrong eide to see Mr.. Root, did SO, but the
contractor catching sight Of the s~uperin.
tendent called out to him to look ont for
the line, but Mr.. Root understood him to
say look out for the bank, and. thinking
the bank was caving behind him, he ruebed
from it and toward the track. The cable
was under heavy strain and slipped from
the ties, striking him in the stomach and
throwing him upwards about as high as a
box car. He came down on his left shout.
der and side. He was taken to his car.
He was in great agony, but raised no blood.
Mr.. N. D. Root accepted service on the
Northern Pacific early in 1881, occupying
the position Of assistant superintendent OF
the Minnesota division. He remained at
Brainerd, Minnesota, in that capacity until
two years ago when he was appointed
superintendent OF the Montana division.
He held that position but q short time be-
ing promoted to the superintendency OF
the Minnesota division, which il the most
important division OF the..Northern Pacific
system. When Mr.. Robert Law resigned
the position OF assistant general manager
at Helena, Mr.. Root succeeded him and
consequently enjoyed his well de-
weeks. Mr.. Root was a very
successful railroad man and was popular
with the employees. he leaves a widow and
family to mourn his loss. Mrs. Root ar
rived at Tacoma shortly after the accident
occurred and is there at present.

Rnckar Acts Like a Roxdx.

Denver, Colo, special of February Sth:
Judge Rucker, who achieved some fame
through his newspaper controversy with
Senator Blackburn, engaged in an ncoun
ter to-day in Jones' saloon, which resulted
in his being lodged in Jail on q charge OF
carrying concealed weapons and dis
turbance." Colonel John Atkins, OF the
News, Chief of Police Grady and Sena-
tor.elect Wolcott were standing at the
bar, when Judge Rucker entered, and,
without saying a word, walked up to
Atkins and struck him in the face with the
palm OF his hand. While Atkins was re-
covering from his establishments, Judge
Rucker backed off and put his hand, SO it
is said, on his revolver. Chief Grady then
arrested Rucker, and, after disarming him.
took his distinguished prisoner to the city
Jail. The trouble grew out OF some dis
paraging comments on Fuckers ability as
a fighter made by Atkins to a New York
reporter during the progress OF the Black
bnrn-Rucker controversy.

THE bill to allow women to practice
law in Montana has been signed by the
Governor, and has become a law. II
women should be allowed to practice law,
why not to vote ? And what good reason
is there for allowing an ignorant man to
vote, and preventing an intelligent
woman from doing so? The plea that
many women do not want to vote and are
opposed to female suffrage, has nothing
to do with the question. The rights Of
those who do want to vote are just as
much entitled to consideration as are
those who oppose the measure.

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS.
Last year the City Council gave the
water company to understand that when
the latter procured sufficient water to
adequately supply the city, the former
would meet the water company half way,
and make a contract to at once extend
the mains and put in fire plugs.
At the time, this understanding was
approved by the Inter Mountain" and
the people generally conceded that, under
this arrangement, the mains would be
extended, new fire plugs added, and all
the desired improvements completed.
Why Is 1t the Inter Mountain" 80 soon
ignores the tacit agreements made by it.
self and its friends
In ful6llment Of its part Of the arrange
ment, the water company expended
thousands Of dollars in bringing TO the
city a copious supply of the purest
mountain water, in purchasing mains,
and in making all the necessary prepara-
tions for enabling the Council to carry
out its promises Of reform. Early last
autumn all this was done, in time to en-
able the Council to have the work we'll
under way before winter came, either by
laying the mains itself or allowing and
authorizing the water company to do the
same.
But not a step seems to have been taken
by the Council toward fulfilling Its part
Of the understanding. 1t has frittered
its time away and another spring finds
the city still at the mercy Of the insur-
ance companies and the flames.
In the face Of these facts, the "Inter
Mountain" the mouthpiece of the Ere
form" Republicans who are in the vast
majority in the Council, is assailing the
water company for not doing that which
only the Council itself can do or can
authorize to be done. The water COM
