sIeans to be Devised whereby Children
living Outside the City Stay be Taught
here
The Legislative Committee of the
Board of Education is considering the
question of devising means whereby
children, whose parents live beyond the
city limits, may be enabled under Ger.
tain restricted conditions 10 attend the
public schools of the city. Heretofore
this k1otty problem was found to be
difficult one to solve. and many persons
living outside the city, but owning real
estate within 1t and DESTROYS of having
their children educated at thu public
schools Of the city. have been Obliged
either to send such children to reside
with friends within the city, or forego
their desire SO that although they con-
tribufed to the support of the public
schools of the city they were debarred
from reaping any of its benefits. and the
Board OF Education was poweress in the
matter Again many persons lust living
beyond the city limits would be willing
TO pay for the education of their children
In the city public schools, but here again
the power Of the Board OF Education was
curtailed. as they had no auth ority to re-
ceive such fees
s. Redmond Smith, chairman Of the
Committee Of Legislation announced last
evening at the meeting of the Board Of
Education that the committee had the
matter under consideration and hoped to
reach satisfactory conclusion It is
understood that the Legislature will be
asked to make such changes as will obvi-
ate the present difficulty.

The Gate of the Mountains.

One moro trip we must make before our
return journey, and that is to the Gate of
the Mountains. A party OF US SGT ont in
carriages for that pleasure resort on Satur-
day morning bright and early. The greater
part of the trip lay through the valley of
the Prickly Pear, to the north of Helena.
Our horses were fresh, and the valley was
soon crossed. We climb the foothills and
from their SUNNI behold the Missouri
rolling placidly on. Here the entire vol
ume of the great river is confied to less
than 300 feet, the mountains rising perpen-
dicular for over 1000 feet, and leaning over
the channel form What ia known AZ The
Gate of the Mountains" Large caves can
seen emerging from thess ponderous walls.
Here the mountain sheep is in his native
haunts and the American eagle builds lis
eyrie; game is plentiful and mountain tout
abundant. We find accommodations at
what is known AZ Hilger's ranch. and
after n hearty dinner are taken in a staunoh
little steamer down the river. How insip-
nificant we feel rs We float down that
mighty stream with the solid walls of gran
!te towering hundreds of feet above us,
We are but as insects creeping here and
there ON this mundane sphere. The won

Before sunset we started homeward. The
ride down the hillside reminded us of John

pice. We breathod a sigh of relief when at
length the base was reached and we were
again on level ground. The ride home by
moonlight was delightful and a fitting ter.
mination to our s~ojourn among the hills OF
Montana. -,
The following Monday We settled with
our landlord and boarded the train for onr
return journey. The six weeks spent in
this Country of the mountains" shall ever
be as oasis in our memory. With regret we
leave behind US the many pleasant ac-
quaintances we have formed, the beautiful

Flowing from the west comes the llearborn
river and discharges its waters into the
Missouri. Away out in the river can be dis
tinetly seen the waters of the pure mount
ain stream which seems 10th to minGle with
the muddy waters of the river that eventu.
ally swallows it. Mid canyon Is passed and
the Half Breed rapids are pointed out to ns.
Here the water swirls and dashes over rocks
half hidden in the rivers bed. The reef OF
Woman's Woe hndsi ts counterpart just be-
low the rapids.
Coming down the side of one of the
mountains ia a sort of q chute. We are told
it ia the Devils Slide. 1t looks as though
down 1t. A gentleman in the party re-
marked that he hoped he wore leather
breeches.
The mountains are receding from us and
We are emerging into n broad plain. Large
herds of cattle and sheep are grazing on
city Of Great Falls. We nave crossed the
Missouri and are in the town. Three years
ago where a busy, flourishing city now
stands there wore but a few log shacks, now
the 0 gives promise of being the most
thriving city in the state. The location 10
a fine one for all kinds OF industries. The
water power Is not surpassed in the United
States. Already one large smelling plant
is in operation and a much larger one is
under construction. Taking a carriage
We drove to the Falls, about five miles from
the city. An immense body of water falls
over a precipice several feet in height
with a power that would drive
the largest wheels and set to work
countless looms and mills. A short dis
tance from the Great falls are the Rainbow
falls. Although the fall is not SO great
here, vet there ia an immense hidden force
within it. Above the water on a sunshiny
day a continual rainbow plays, giving rise
to its name. As we gazed upon it we thought
of the "bow of promise" and the signif-
canoe it has for us. We visit the Grant
springs before returning to the town.
Close to the right bank of the Missouri
are the largest springs it has ever been our
good fortune to visit. Clear as crystal and
cool as ice bubbles and boils forth the
water from some hidden fountain. The
bottom is covered with moss and spring
cress of the darkest emerald hue, and it is
with a feeling of regret we see the clear,
pure waters of this natural fountain mingle
with the Missouri's muddy tide. This spring
covers several square rods and is truly a
natural curiosity. Across the river below
the springs is a suspension bridge for the
accommodation of those desiring to cross
the river. We stand and gaze about US,
and on every hand behold the wonderous
handiwork of the Creator-the lofty mount
aims in the distance, the clear, pure atmos-
phere, the mighty river, the broad plain
covered with luxurlant grass, and the blue
sky overhead.

like long troughs. They are the wood
