crossed its portals and found himself i'll
the presence of Russell B. Harrison, of
Helena. the son of the president-elect.
Mr.. Harrison is man apparently thirty
years of age, but his shiny bald crown
has tendency to make him look trifie
older. His dark mustache is carefully
trimmed, and partly hides a well
shaped mouth, the lines of which are
firmly drawn, and show that the owner
has will which can be eXerted when
occasion demands. The son of his
father is rather below the medium
height, and his athletic, muscular figure
was displayed to advantage by the black
cutaway which he wore. The Helena
editor talks without hesitation, and does
not stop to weigh his words, but
plunges into the subject at issue with
directness and force of purpose which
show the latent energy which is i'll
him.

ARE AGITATING THEMSELVES
over the probable action of the senate
regarding the acceptance or rejection of
the Springer omnibus bill. Many peo-
pie who affect to know all about the
provisions of the bill are, however, at
sea when some complex phase OF
the question is presented to them
for consideration, and the people of the
territory, in common with the rest of
their brethren at large, are not thor
oughly posted in its provisions. My
visit to Washington concerns the
Springer bill in large measure, and
l am going to look into it thoroughly
and report the result of my examine
ton to my informal constituency when
| return. If Montana is admitted it
will be all epoch in our history, and of
course will he fraught with important
consequences to us all. 1t is but nat
ural, therefore, that residents of the
territory cast political considerations
aside and endeavor to decide the future
action of the senate on its merits, viewed
from our standpoint.
81 do not expect to hold any office
under the new administration. The
people at large have been kind enough
to our family by elevating its senior
member to the chair of the highest
Office which lies within their gift. My
interests are and will be in the West.

Despite Mr.. Harrison'S claims regard
ing his non-sympathy with things poll
teal, the story was whispered about
last evening that if Montana were adj
mitted he would become the senior SEN
ator from that state. His youth, prob
able ambition, and the prestige of his
father were spoken of as probable and
potent factors for securing polit cal

and those who were initiated quickly
passed the word, and score of

directions in answer to the explanatory
remark, 'sThere's HarriSon's son. But
the exposure of the many eyes paid no
heed to the comment which followed in
his wake, and with valise in firm
grip, and hat we'll on the back of the
