North Dakota's Investigating
Committee Stops All Leaks.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, n. D., Feb. 12.-The SEN
ate investigating committee to-day ex-
amined Rev. IL. G. Simmons, superin-
tendent of the Congregational mission
work of North Dakota, and S. S. Lyon.
of Fargo, both of whom have been op-
posing the lottery bill. During the past
few days news of the proceedings in
the committee has leaked out, and to
prevent this the members of the com
mittee and all participating in the in
yeStlgati0n were sworn to secrecy
to-day. The committee appointed to
investigate the charges that houses of
prostitution are licensed in Fargo by
Mayor Newman reported today. stat
ing that it found the houses in Fargo
open under what is virtually a license
system. The investigating committee
OF the house reported to the effect that
they had no power under the resolution
to send for persons or papers, and
asked to be discharged. The house re-
fused to discharge them and gave them
the power to send for persons and
papers. A number of additional wit
nesses have been summoned. and it
looks as though the investigation ex-
citement has just commenced. The
lottery bill is evidently dead beyond!
resurrection, and it is discussed only in
connection with the investigation.

the opening. The only train running

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-At the meeting of
the Western Freight association to-day,
audience was given to delegations of
Omaha and Kansas City packers, who
desire the railroads. to readjust the
rates on packing-house products
from those points. By the re-
cent reductions in the Southwest
these rates have become SO disarranged
that the Omaha packers complain of
discrimination against that city in favor
of other Missouri river points. The
association appointed committee
of the interested roads to take
up the subject and make rec
concentrations. The complication
growing out of the Burlington & North
ern's proposed reduction in rates be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul were in no
way lessened to-day. and discussion of
them prevented any other business
being taken up either by the Western
association or the Interstate association.

Il

The cooperative principle has not
been applied in the United States with as
much success as in France and England,
because in part, our people are not forced
to practice SO much economy. Yet the
the AssociatedPre is a striking instance
of American cooperative success. 1t was
started by six New York journals to pro-
cure news in common and succeeded SO
we'll that in 1851, when Horace Greeley
testified before a British parliamentary
committee, it! disbursed 100000 a year
for dispatches. 1t probably pays that
sum for cable kilograms alone now. Even
then Geographic rivalry was felt keenly.
'rhe leading article has not so much in
riuence as in England?" said a committee
man inqulringly. "No,"replied Greeley,
'.the. Geographic dispatch is the great
point" As the result of the cooperative
plan the six dailies are all powerful
journals today while hundreds of other
papers started, Independently of the
associated press, have gone under. This
IS owing to the fact that the associated
press supplies more news at less price
than any paper can procure which is not
IN the association. The public know this
Ind accordingly they buy the papers with
the Associated Press dispatches. The
people may have party leanings, but they
must have the news of the day for every
live man is concerned in knowing 1t.

SMELLING

Some people in Butte would have tn,
ores smelted there. The tendency is
however, all the other way. Butte is
great mining camp of which Montan,
may well be proud, but she lacks thu
coal, water and water power which ar
needed to reduce copper ores at the low
est cost. Marcus Daily thought so When
he established great works at Anaconda
The Boston & Montana we're impelled BY
like considerations to undertake the es.
tahlishment of a great smelter here.
1t is better for Butte that it should be
so. In order to hold her own against the
Lake Superior companies now and here
after, Butte must produce copper as
cheaply as they can. This cannot be
done by smelling the ores at home bu,
hy sending them to Great Falls where
fuel is cheap n water and water power
are abundant.
Like other industries smelling is un.
dergoing a great change. The small
smelters are giving place to large ones
which are started where coal is abundant
or cheap. By conducting on a large
Gale the mechanical and chemical pro-
cesses involved in reducing ores the
great smelters are able to do better for
the miner than the small concerns which
in Colorado and Montana formerly car
rled on smelling IN or near the mining
cnmDs.

DEVELOP THE MINES,

The TRIBUNE is reliably informed tina
President Hill of the Great Northern il
DESTROYS of seeing more development,
work done in the Barker and Neihart
camps before extending the railroad to
the mines. He has learned BY expert.
ence that there is no immediate profit in
building railroads into undeveloped min
ing camps, and when he asks that the
mine owners of the Belt mountains should
develop their properties, SO as to guarau-
tee traffic for the new road, it is a bust
ness proposition. The fact that the road
has been finished to within ~ miles of
both Barker and Neihart should be the
fullest encouragement TO the owners to
work their mines and make such
ii showing of business that the
railroad would quickly go to them.
If this is necessary to secure the road,
every possible effort in that direction
should be made and the mine-owners
should bea unit in promoting the desired
end. Some of the mines of Neihart and
Barker are owned by men of ample
means and they should take the initiative
in this matter. The prospector and poor
man can not develop their properties,
but they might in some cases interest
capital with them or they might sell to
those able and willing to do the work.
For the benefit of all concerned we hope
to see unusual activity in the develop
ment Of the Belt mountains mines this
season. 1t is a pretty well established
fact that about the only way to getmoney
out of a mine is to put money in after 1t.

hat the opinion Is one of the ablest, most

pIiment OF which Judge Mediation has
reason to be proud, and the citizens of
silver Bow county have still more reason
10 be proud of the judge.-Miner.
The partisan decision of the supreme
court yesterday, which had been known
to the republican bosses for some weeks,
and boosted o f,by them, vii; {. detract
in the least from the honors earned by
Judge Mediation or from the correctness
Of his decision. The supreme court of
Montana has earned and will retain the
supreme contempt of a big portion of the
people of this state.

WILL PROSPER WITHOUT THEM

The fact might as we'll be looked plain
ly in the face that Great Falls is to have
neither a public building nor land office
from congress this season. The public
baildlng list has been overiull for some
time and the committee will not report
favorably on new application. Tom
Carter precluded all likelihood of a land
Office being established here when he
brought in the bill to place one each at
Lewistown and Missoula. We have up.
held from the start our claim to Uncle
Sans good things, but We rejoice that
IL town does not depend on federal
aid for her growth. In less than three
years she has become the chief railroad
center of Montana. Her river banks have
become the site of two great industrial
enterprises and will O be the site of
others. The n%eighboring coal fields have
undergone rapid development and our
tributary mining regions are about to ri
val Butte in productiveness. Under such
circumstance Great Falls can afford to
regard co~mpacently the neglect and
red-tapism of tie Washington depart.
