Ing isaa$ o",s rlast night at the Dar OF the

Wallace Taylor arrived yesterday af-
ternoon from Helena. He says that it
was very cold In Helena when he left in
the morning. We know that the mer-
curry gets below freezing point in that
~ :,, 4
nook was playing all day yesterday and
water was standing in the streets. The
climate in Great Falls is generally twenty
degrees warmer than in Helena; that we
presume is on account Of the denizens Of
The capital being nearer Heaven.
The Minneapolis Tribune in q recent
ssue had a page Of growls from different
owns in the Northwest which had been
write-ups by the Pioneer Press.
According to the statements of the growl-
,rs these promises are never kept, and
he Pioneer Press carries off large sums
i money every year from the different
owns. The Helena Independent has
'een attacking the Pioneer Press on the
anne grounds. Its cry is that the money
pent for these papers is all taken out Of
own and could be much better spent at
lome. The Independent is Oh the right
rack. But we remember another paper
bout the size of the Helena Indcpen-
lent which carries away from Great Falls
very year large sum Of money. This
'aper is published in Helena, and we
ave yet to see an issue in which it spoke
kind word for Great Falls. Saturday
aorning it editorially md viciously
neers at Great Falls The lesson taught
y the Helena Independent is capable Of
ivers applications.
