And Such q Contrast,

Of the frightful times our Helena
cousins are having wallowing through
the gummy mire submerging the capital,
the Herald of Tuesday gives the annexed
lurid descriptions:
One of the most disgusting conditions
in which it is possible for any public
highway to exist, is that which is now
presented by upper Main street. The
filthy black mud is in some places foot
deep, aud is so plastic that horses wad-
ing through it splash it with their hoofs
on the clothing of persons passing along
the sidewalk. This mud is of course a
mixture of water with decayed filth, the
filth part being the soil of the street sat
urated with various refuse liquids from
the numerous beer saloons on the side of
the street and an accumulation Of divers
substances of noxious character. The
efiluvia, arising from the evaporation Of
this putrid mass, which is continually
going on while the weather remains dry,
must be strongly conducive to Il high
state of health on the Fart of those living
OF doing business on Main street.

Copper Right Side Up.

To an Inter Mountain reporter Supt.
Couch, of the Boston and Montana, on
the copper situation, remarked that the
dispatch stating that the mines had
agreed to suspend work for time pend
ing the completion of arrangements with
the copper syndicate, was misleading in
its language. What is really the fact,
said he, is that the leading producers
vii not make any sales fora month or
two, until the situation becomes more
clearly defined.
To the question of the reporter, "What
do you think about copper?" Mr..
Couch replied:
"Wen, believe that copper is all
right. l think that the syndicate will
come through,and that the outcome of
this will be continuation of the con-
tract with the syndicate for period Of
twelve years. This, in addition to the
two years already covered by the contract,
will make period of IA years, during
which we may be assured of good price
for copper. think q natural price for
the metal will be from Is to IA cents, and
at that price all the Montana companies
will be able to make an excellent profit.
The manufacturers will have to come to
terms. They have worked up all the
scrap copper in the world, and have got
to buy now or very soon. It may be that
in making twelve years contract the
syndicate will require the larger compa-
MES to curtail production somewhat, but
| regard the copper situation as very
favorable"

CITY AND COUNTY NEWS.

John Glass had splendid success in
raising timothy last year, and is going to
put in large number of acres the pres
ent year.
There is being transported to the
the smelter every day 30Otons of ore.
There is said to be 10000 tons at the
smelter ready for further use.
The engagement of q Sand Coulee
lady to one of our we'll known sheep men
is announced. The marriage will take
place the middle of next month.
The ranchmen generally are pleased
with the snow fall. Most of them have
their seed we'll in the ground and believe
that the snowfall will give the seed q
vigorous growth.
The River Press is exulting over the
prospect of another railroad, -four mill
and other extensive improvements for
the river metropolis. Thq.LEADER hopes
that the head of Navigation may realize
its anticipations.

friend Jerry.
The annual election for city officers
will be held on the second Monday Of
April, and naturally the selection Of can
didates is being agitated. The LEADER
is in favor of perfectly non partisan
election this year, aud if Paris Gibson
will accept the office of mayor, we be-
lieve that he will be elected. For the
other officers, we hear for police Magis-
trate Judges Race and Taylor menti oned
For city attorney, G. H. Benton seems to
be the choice. For city treasurer, Geo.
Heldt or S. s. Hawkins would be the Sc
lection Of many.
Now is the proper time to plant trees.
We are glad to learn that our citizens are
preparing to plant shade trees about
their lots. With the water works in ear
ly in the summer there will he no rea-
son why Great Falls cannot have the
handsomest shade trees and flower gar
dens in the Territory. 1t is good time
also to prepare to put neat fence abou,

very much to the appearance Of the city
A wide and deep hole should be dug fol

Badly Demoralized.

The Great Falls Whipper-Snapper has
at last received shock sufficient to
awaken it from its Rip Van Wrinkle sleep.
1t has poked its Shiny carcass out of its
she'll. Some swiftly PERSONAL in the
LEADER has fretted its mood and cloud
ed its brow. It seems to have been re-
served to this duck-of-a-t thing, this soiled
dove of Great Falls paperdom to dis
cover that her virtue-a commodity long
since deported from her skirts-has been
impugned. It's hard, old gal, but you've

A New Deal all Round.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-From the
general impression here and hints let
drop by those in position to know, it is
presumed that the policy of the admins
tration will be against the appointment
Of "old hands," and the fact that man
has held Office before will rather be de-
trimental than favorable to his appoint
ment under Harrison, especially in the
Territories. The disposition is to give
new blood and men show and tho edict
seems to be that former office holders
cannot reasonably expect to be reinstated.
Another feature of the Territorial poll
cy is that Harrison intends to adhere
strictly to that plank in the national plat
form bestowing appointments in the Ter
ritories to residents thereof. so that Mon
tana may fear no importation with tear
petbaggers" branded on their commits
sions.
1t is understood that the matter Of the
governorship and chief justiceship of
Montana is under consideration, but tho
long conference has been held by Del
egate Carter, Chairman Hershffeld and
Russell B. Harrison, no announcement
has yet been made as to probable ap.
pOintees.

The noted prize ringists gave spirit
ed show of their agilities and pugilistic
qualities at the Park theatre last evening.
Considering the disagreeable weather
there was a fair audience and everybody
went away with better opinion of the
manly art. Billy Hawkins and Frank
Shepley did some rollicksome sparring;
and the two Goodman boys made lots Of
fun. Messrs. Germ g. Davenport have
been at considerable expense in putting
in electric lights and the honse is very

AT GREAT FALLS

A more gentle, delightful and bcauti-
full snow never spread its pure-white
mantle over Mother Earth. For three or
four days it has been distilling its fer
tilizing flakes like the dew of Hermon,
being almost imperceptibly absorbed by
the soil; the temperature mild; and all
nature exultant with the bracing breath
of spring; yet not particle of slush or q
slough of despond anywhere to be seen.

Sanitary Singing.

The time will soon come when singing
will be regarded as one of the great
helps to physicians in lung diseases in
their incipient state. Almost every
branch of gymnastics is employed in
one way or another by the doctors, but
the simple and natural function OF sing
ing has not yet received its full need of
attention. In Italy, some years ago,
statistics were taken which proved that
the vocal artists were especially long
lived and healthy, under normal cir
cumstances, while of the brass instru-
menJalis!s it was discovered that con-
sumption never claimed victim among
them. Those who have tendency
toward consumption should take easy
vocal exercises, no matter how thin and
weak their voices may seem to be.
They will find a result at times far
surprising any relief afforded by medi-
cine. Vocal practice, in moderation,
is the best system of general gymnas-
tics that can be imagined, many muscles
being brought into play that would
scarcely be suspected OF action in con-
nection with so simple matter as tone
production. Therefore, apart from all
art considerations, merely as matter
of health, one can earnestly say to the
healthy, "Sing that you may remain
so" and to the weakly, "Sing, that you
may become strong"
