The question to be settled is not did
Sanders or Clark or either of the other
two receive a majority of the votes cast
by the legislature, but have we a legisla.
ture in Montana that is qualified to elect
United States senators? Is the legisla-
ture of Montana properly organized ?
Are the men who have cast their votes
for these senators the men who were
elected by the people?-Dillon Tribune.

A dn2ap patropo of +ha eobooj r,ol,
complaint to us today about the .'order'
promulgated Friday last to the effect that
all pupils in attendance at the new
schoo. house must 60 home to dinner OF
do without. As many of the scholars live
a mile or more from the school house,
the injustice of such a rule is at once APP
parent. 1t is to be hoped that Trustees
Ladd and Webster, who have no relatives
or %favorites on the teachers staff. will
heed the complaints of the patrons and
see to it that this obnoxious rule is abru-
gated.
The TRIBUNE Is receiving many ex-
pressions of approval from the people at
large for It's recent articles on the public
school. They are glad that all direct and
indirect attempts to impair the efficiency
Of the school have been nipped in the
bud. They are determined that the
school shall be conducted with energy
and tender regard for the welfare of the
children. One OF the trustees informed
a TRIBUNE reporter that he had received
many complaints. He regretted that
Thompson had been induced to under
take editorial work while principal of the
school.
There is considerable talk of late about
the famous Snowdrift mine at Neihart.
This property was sold at private sale to
the present owners for about $4,000, and
is classed by mining men as one Of the
leading mines in the camp. 1t is a well
defined lead, situated high up on the
mountain, and the tunnel which is run in
on the lead has pierced a four-foot ore
shute fully 80 feet, and it is probable that
this extends throughout the entire length
of the claim. 1t is probable that a COM
pany will be formed to handle this prop
erty before spring. Such an event would
be hailed with delight by the Neihart PEG.
pie, as all have implicit confidence in the
Snowdrift property.-R. NJ. Husbandman.
