Prize.
Citizens. the Board of Trade and the Cham

for the Railroad.
As the result of the labors of the commit

As the result of the labors of the commit
tee appointed Yesterday to solicit subscrip-
tions to aid in the construction Of the rail-
road to Castle, $lG4,O 900 was secured. That's
n good starter, but just $4,000 more is
needed to make the undertaking success
and it will be obtained before another sun-
set if the citizens who will be visited to-day
shall respond as literally as those who were
approached yesterday.
On Monday night the Board of Trade
took up this all-important matter and APP
pointed committee to start out yesterday.
The committee was to meet yesterday
morning to formulate plan of action and
when they assembled at the Board of Trade
rooms, members of the Chamber of Com
mcrce and citizens generally were present,
ready and anxious to render assistance. A
meeting was called which was full of life and
gave evidence of the fact that Helena still
pulls together" Inc result OF the meeting
was the appointment of a joint committee of
the Board of Trade and Chamber of Com
merce The committee consisted OF Presl-
dents ID. A. Cory and A. M. Hotter of the
Chamber of Commerce and Board OF Trade,
respectively, S. L. Hauser. Il. M. Parchen,
A, j. Davidson, JOS Davis and A. j. Selig-
man.
1t was decided very necessary to take &c
tive steps and to secure such a substantial
subscription list as would show to the
Northern Pacific company that the people
of Helena are in earnest in their efforts to
secure this branch railroad to Castle.
The committee went to work at once and
prepared the following to head the sub
scription paper:
we, the undersigned, subscribe the
amounts opposite our respective names. for
the purpose of aiding the construction of a
railroad from Helena to the Castle Noun
tain district, and hereby bind ourselves to
pay the said amounts, upon the following
conditions:
First. That the aggregate of the subscrib'
ers hereto shall be at least $3.50, 600.
Second. That there shall not be more
than ten per cent of the subscription called
for monthly.
Third. That there shall be a committed
of not less than three subscribers hereto
who shall negotiate contract with the
Northern Pacific Railroad company for thu
construction Of said road. and that sucl
contract shall be ratified by subscriber
Representing not less than two thirds Of thu
whole amount subscribed.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1890-05-28
TllOIG UIHOUIIU 5UUFoCf1o0s
Snbscriptions were as follows:

Considering the short time the commit
tee was out this is very t1attering days
work. large number of citizens who
were not seen will be called upon to-day
it must be remembered that unless $780,
600 is secured the project falls through
and it has now too good start to be al
lowed to go by default. This is the most
important enterprise that has yet been
placed within Helena's reach. Make the
much as the subscribers to stock must be
satisfied with the contract between them
and the railroad company. This branch to
Castle is of too much Importance to escape
Helena. If anybody is overlooked by the
committee on its rounds to-day and they
feel bad about it, they may call at the office
of Bach, Cory & Co. and put their names
down for any amount up to 100000.
The committee should have no difficulty
to-day in securing the $4,000 to make up
the amount. just nineteen individuals or
firms subscribed $l64,OOO yesterday and
they represent but small fraction of
Helena's capitalists. Let us show the world
what Helena people can do for the interest
of their town. What Helena is to-day is the
result of her own efforts. and the same will
be true of the future. No better investment
has presented itself to the people of Helena
in many years. and $4,000 is the amount
that now hangs the Castle road in the bal
ance. If $4,000 were asked for there is
every reason to believe the committee would
have received two-thirds of that amount
yesterday. But just 1860 more is neces-
sary, and there is no doubt but that twice
that amount can be secured to-day If II
were needed.
l. Orschel and Hon. G. NJ. Stebbins, OF
Livingston, we're in the city yesterday in
the interest of the proposed railroad from
Livingston to Castle. They feel confident
of securing the railroad and say they car
outbid Helena in Offering substantial in
ducements to the Northern Pacific to locat
the line from Livingston.
This is now friendly business rival be
tween Helena and Livingston and may tn
best town win.

A Lively Blaze.

An alarm of fire was sounded from the
watch tower at $50 yesterday afternoon.
The wind was blowing at terrific rate and
fears were entertained of serious confa-
grafton. But it turned out to be only a
small affair and was almost entirely sub
dued before the fire brigade arrived upon
the scene. 1t was caused by some small
bows setting fire to an clubhouse. The house
and shed adjoining We're destroyed and

A Lucky Accident.

j. E. Lane, a commercial agent from
Middleton. N. H., probably thinks that he
had the luckiest accident of his life last
evening. He was on the east bound train
on his way to st. Paul. While the train
was passing through the Mullan tunnel
he attempted to find his way from the
dining car to the next sleeper. lie got lost
between the cars and fell headlong from
the platform into the dark tunnel. Fortu-
nately some one saw him fall. The train
was stopped and a search was made. MIR.
Lane was found without any injuries worth
mentioning but he suffered bad fright.

told which elected frequent outbursts of
applause. The doctor remains in Helena

The pi.astron. River Floods.

No levee system. and, in fact, no de-
vice that comes under the general desig-
nation of river by draulics, seems capable
of restraining the flow of the great
waterways, notably the Mississippi, dur
ing the time Of flood. Banks break,
channels shift, ruin follows as surely al
most as in the days when no efforts were
made to curb the lateral expansion of a
mighty volume of water. He who shall
solve the problem and provide adequate
means for the safety OF life and property
along the alluvial shores Of Americas
great rivers will, indeed. deserve to reap
honors, riches and an enduring name
The floods that herald the approach Of
spring are unusually serious. and call at
tention anew TO this very important mat
ter.

Senator Edmundls.

A correspondent says: Senators tell me
that Edmunds is not half SO much Of a
tyrant in executive session as some peo-
pie think him. 1t all depends on the
manner in which he is approached. A
wiry, wary, sinuous old diplomatic him
self, who is fond of saying: "Now, as
suming such thing TO he, or to have
been, and don't know whether or not
any such thing was, or will be, or was
even thought OF. If such a state OF
things should by any possibility arise,
then | thnl; thus fond Of the hypo-
thetical, the parenthetical and the inn
practical, AMI confirmed dealer in sa-
tire, side strokes. and the most irritable
of irony. never himself calling things
right out by their right names, he is,
curiously enough, an admirer Of blunt
mesa in others
