The valeria Library Association

Amid the rapid progress and the active
building operations of the season the
Valera library association has been
scarcely noticed. Yet the rooms have
been kept open daily and many have
availed themselves of its privileges.
Quietly the officers have kept at work
and now have completed arrangements
whereby the association will receive more
attention. The Townsite company gave
the enterprise a lot on First avenue
north valued at $4,000. Plans have been
completed aid are now in the hands of
Mr.. H. o. Chowen for a handsome build
ing which will be erected on the lot.
Work will commence at once and before
December 1st the Valerias will be at home
in their new building. This enterprise is
a credit to the city and destined to be an
important factor in making Great Falls
the intellectual center of Montana.

Cook City Railroad Defeated.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-Congressman
Carter tried again today to secure con-
sideration and passage of his bill granting
right of way to Cook City for the Montana
Railway Co. Dunnell of Minnesota antag-
onized the bill successfully. In a private
conversation Dunnell said: II was the
father OF National Park bill and still have
a paternal interest in that wonderland. ]
am opposed to granting any railroad right
of way through the Park, because the
first would only form a precedent for
many which would follow"
Senator Sanders says the bill as amend
ed is a good one, being relieved of all
monopolistic features. He would oppose
the bill unless it were very clear the road
would be built by December, 1891. Mines
which would be made accessible will he
exceedingly valuable when the road is
completed to Cook City.

The Original Package Law.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 2.-The argument
in the noted Raheher habeas corpus cas-, i.
the first test made of the Wilson original
package law, has been concluded. Petit
toner's attorneys argued against the con-
s~titutionality Of the new law and made
the point that If prohibitory law was not
operative as far as dealers in original
packages were concerned before the en-
actment Of the Wilson bill, it never was a
constitutional law and the, Wilson. bill
cannot make a state law effectiye in that
class of cases. Although no formal opin-
ion was expressed by either Judge Foster
or Judge Phillips, who listened to the
arguments in the case, both practically
admitted the tenability of the position
taken IN this particular and it is conceded
that ever IT the court decided the new
law to be constitutional, 1t cannot be eff
fective until the legislature passes
another prohibitory measure. The case
is now under advisement.

Conference Held Yesterday and n Church
Formed,

Conference Held Yesterday and II Church
Formed.
The conference of the Congregational
churches met at Arlon hall at $3.50 p. IN.
Thursday and proceeded to the examina-
ton of Mr.. Peterson, who has been
preaching at Butte for the past year.
The candidate was found to be we'll
qualified to enter the ministry under the
Congregational association of Montana.
The conference then adjourned to meet
at the same place at 1880 p. m.
At the appointed hour the hall was
filled with a large attentive audience,
representing every denomination in the
city and the number of business and
professional men present, indicated that
the citizens of Great Falls were not un-
interested in the establishment of another
church in their city.
The assembly was called to order and
the delegates from abroad took up the
work of the adjourned session of the af-
ternoon The committee reported favor
ably regarding the establishing of q Con
gregational church. After a discussion
of minor matters a report was called for
of the work already accomplished by the
newly organized society. The minutes
of the three meetings held were then read
by A. g. Gaylord, also the confession and
covenant which was adopted by the
shurch last Sunday. A short recess was
taken, during which the conference with
drew to consider the report. A Sigh,
change in the creed was suggested and
after a short conference on the part OF
the church, was accepted. Rev. Mr.. Fow.
Ter of Livingston preached an eloquent
sermon, after which Mrs. Fl. P. Rolfe
sang "Rock of Ages" When the confes-
sion OF faith was propounded 20 persons
accepted and one was baptized.
The new church starts out on its holy
work with flattering prospects, but there
Is much work to do and the laborers are
few and there is no fear that too much
good can be done.
The Congregationalists are noted moi
only as a moral, God fearing people, but
also as an intellectual people. Yale col
