trating to the ore deposits Of the new state
The most prominent Of these are:
From Monarch to Barker and Neihart
from Billings to the Musselshell and Castle
from Livingston to Castle. from Helena h
Castle, from Missoula to the Coeur d'Alene
from Missoula to Flathead lake, from Mis-
soula to Anaconda, from Dillon to Augusta,

from Billings and Red Lodge to Cooke CITY
from Grantsdale ION the Bitter Root valley

Hill, from Great Falls to Judith Basin, from
Assinaboine to Flathead lake, land from Great
Falls to Lethbridge, Can. The last-named
was recently completed.

The New Surveys.

The Surveyor-General received Of
fetal notice from Washington Thurs
day to contract for surveys in this
state, to be completed the coming sum-
mer, as follows:
Township 10, ranges 2 and 3 east,
Cowlitz county township Ii, range 3
east Lewis county; township II, range
5 east, Pierce county; township Sc,
range 5 east, Skagit county township
40, range east, Whatcom county !;
township 80, range 5 east, Snohomish
county; township 30, range east,
SnohomiSh county; township "a, range
8 east. King county; township 6,
range IL east, Klickitat county; town
ship -, range 5 west, Lewis county
townships II and ID, range west,
Pacific county; township 81, range 8
west, Chehalis county; township 30,
range 9 west, Chehalis county.
Each of these townships embraces
an area of sc square miles. This is
612 square miles to be surveyed in
this state more than was surveyed al
together in the territory under Cleve-
lands administration. These surveys
are payable from the appropriate ton
made by congress for the surveys of
public lands up to the end of the
present fiscal year. The appropriation
for the next fiscal year will probably
be three or four times as much. There
can be no surveys contracted for I'M
der the next appropriation until after
the firstof next July. An erroneous
Impression seems to prevail in some
sections of the state that the last
legislature appropriated money for
surveys. Senator Squire has intro
duced IA bill in congress 10 appropri-
ate $500, 900 for surveys in the state
next year. Even this amount would
only pay for surveyIng about one.

Better Country Roads Needed.

The Tacoma Journal has frequently
ur ed the importance of good coun-
try roads in the interest of the farmer
and country resident; Of .he merchant,
produce dealer and shipper, and Tor
the increase in value they would give
to country real estate. There should
be a law authorizing and requiring
leading highways in various directions
through the country to be planked or
macadamized, and II road tax levied
and collected like other taxes to pro-
vide for them, aud a road supervisor
or commissioner chosen by districts
to build and keep them in repair. 1t
is coming to this, because the sentl-
ment is growing in favor thereof, and
it's agitation will aid in bringing it
around. Similar public road systems
are being agitated and adopted in
several of the Eastern States. Here
is what an eastern exchange says OF
the old present folly:
ave will never have decent roads
while we follow the present system.
Just so long as Il man can swlndle the
public by working out his road taxes
under the present system by throwing
lot of last years gutter wash in the
middle of the road on rainy days
when they can do nothing else ust
50 long we will have the kind OF roads
that now affiict us. We will never
have decent roads until road taxes are
collected in cash and worked out by
hired workmen under competent SUI
pervislon."
Washington should set a good ex-
ample m regard to public roads, and
formulate road law that will secure
good, passable roads all seasons of the
year.
A strangers first query who wishes
to see new country either for pleas
ure or speculation, is: as there a
good road therc?" A good road al
ways causes plenty of travel, and al
ways increases the value of the land
through which it passes.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

Late Sunday night several dodgers
in the Central Hotel were awakened
by some one in the room, and the fol-
loving morning several small losses
Were reported. The intruder was iden-
titled, arrested, and had n hearing be-
fore Justice Cyphert. 1t was found
that he was formerly hotel keeper in
Montesano, but had been on a pro-
tracted spree in town for several days,
and was in condition bordering on
the tremens. He admitted being in
the room but said he was searching for
Il bed. The case being brought us
burglary, the Justice had the altern-
alive of binding him over to Superior
court or releasing him. He pleaded
not guilty and had none of the stolen
articles i'll his possession when search
ed-and WAS released.
Early last Friday morning, a cart
was trundled up to the Commercial
hotel, Il trunk, filled with spectacles OF
all kinds, placed aboard and the whole
taken out the road to 18TH street,
where it Was found that morning bro
ken open and everything missing. The
trunk belonged to VIM. Boots, Il spec
tacle vender, and there was no clue to
the thief. :o
Jacob Hauptley was in town yes
terday For news he informed us
that man named Whitley received
IA bad cut in the thigh. by an AK in the
hands of IA careless workman on the
mill, at Union City. The mill began
yesterday to saw out lumber for the
covering.

Be Charitable.

The one thing that makes n village
prosperous is the stability of it's bust
hess men. Where each attempts to
forward the interests of the other
he adds to his income as we'll. In
towns where each strives to knock the
other down there will be but few pros
porous men. So it is in every com
munity. Where neighbor is at war
with neighbor there will be poor straw
stacks at both places, but where all are
at peace and good will reigns there is
happiness and prosperity. Meanness
never pays. Never. But we find a
great MANY persons who go to other
towns to buy their goods and pay
more for them than they could buy
the same of their home merchants.
Some buy on credit of one merchant
and when they get little money will
spend 1T with another merchant that
won't trust them. Some will tell ev-
cry stranger that comes to town that
all the business men are rascals and
robbers. Some will construe everv eff
tort OF enterprise as scheme and
Doodle game. In tact there is moth
ing calculated to increase the interest
OF a town or country but has it's op-
position. We have known merchants
TO carry customers when they would
otherwise have suffered, that allow
such debts to remain unpaid and then
spend the money with others and
curse their creditors. We have known
such persons to carry two or three
hundred IN their pocket for a whole
year and then 60 to the bank and ask
them to loan them twenty-five dollars
Tor few days to finish out nav
ment, and then allow the banker to
carry 1t for six months and then grum-
Die at ten per cent. Such things
should not be if we desire to see a
nourlshlns town and induce people to
locate here. We must be a unit and
work and labor for each others good
II a stranger inquiries of you concern
ing the condition of any future pros
poets OF your town, speak good
word for every department that de-
serves it. If a merchant favors Won
when you are in need, remember him
when you have the money. Those of
you that have money to spend with
your home merchants, if they don't
nave what you want, have them send
and get it for you. They can get it
cheaper than you can. If farmers
have produce to sell they should bring
1t to the home market. Let business
men work together and do each other
all the good they can. If you have
spare money put it in the bank until
you need it and if you want favor.
go to the banker for it. In union
there is strength, but house. divided
ITSELF cannot stand. Use good. com
mon sense, act from honorable pur.
poses, do as you would be done by.
support your home paper and all will.
prosper.-Slaughter Sun.

NOTICE TO SCHOOL OFFICIALS
AND TEACHERS OF MASON
CO., WASH.

This ONCE IS not YET supplied with school laws
school boards throughout the county.
The State Supt. informs this Office that they
are yet in the printers hands and will be dis
tributed at the earliest opportunity.
Thus far this Office has been compelled to de-
pend upon circular information in the conduct
of the official duties and in some instances this
official authority came too lateto be properly at
tended to. For instance the late examination,
the time for which being changed by the new
school law, was held sooner than was possible
to be properly ADVERTISED and generally known
throughout the county.
Just 50 soon as the laws and blank reports
reach this Office they will be distributed with
that promptness and dispatch that is character
istic of an official who has favorably considered
the interests of all concerned.
Very respectfully,

The census supervisor estimates that
the nineteen counties west of the Cas-
cade mountains, comprising the Puget
Sound division, will show popula-
ton of 234,625, and that Eastern
Washington will show about 10000,
making total population of 364,625.
In 1880 the census showed popula-
ton of 39,91O; 1870, 17,160: 1860, S.

ton on Puget Sound is due to her
varied industries and resources and
her equable climate, and this prepon-
deranee will increase as Eastern people
learn of these favorable conditions

turing avocations, experienced far
