Tot much cannot be said in praise of the
way in which Agent Edgar has taken care
of the party. From the time of leaving
Helena on Wednesday to the return last
night. but ono meal was postponed, on ac-
count of the running of the train, and for
this ample provision had been made. At
Missoula supt. Ramsey joined the excur-
sion with his private ear, and Mr.. Edgar
and Mr.. Ramsey pointed out all the points
of interest, and where the scenery was par
tioularly beautiful, stops were made. In
fact, the excursion, from start to finish,
went along as smoothly as though those in
charge never did anything else but run ex-
charge of the train, while Engineer Ed.
Andrews and Fireman Moore kept
the wheels turning. M. Hartman
and W.. H.. Boree were the
b%rakemen, Master Mechanic B.
Haskell and Chief Dispatcher Jim Burke
were also aboard. After leaving Missoula a
vote of thanks was given the Northern
Pacific management for their kindness in
giving the excursions: to Agent Edgar for
his thoughtful care; to superintendent
Ramsey for his kindness in going with the
party to Wallace, and to the employees in
charge of the train.

Az with Wallace. Wardner is the center
OF a rich mining section, the companies in
its immediate vicinity giving employment
to more than 1000 men. The city has a
total population Of more than 5000 people,

large stocks of frst-class goods, and
as the miners secure excellent wages. in
consequence business is always good. Geo.

like character in the Cnur d'Alenes. G. b.

the financial institution Of Wardner. The
Spokane, Wardner, Central and Cosmo-
politan are the leading hotels, while there
are a number of smaller houses, assuring
ample accommodation in case of a big
crowd. All the mines nave their own
boarding houses. There are two school
districts, the enrolment for both last year
being about 160. The Methodists have a
church. while ministers of other denomina-
lions hold service on alternate Sabbaths.
Though q genuine mining town there are
many handsome residences with large lawns
about them and beautiful flowers and vines
in the yard. Wardnsr is the metropolis of the
South Fork country, and just SO fast as the
mines develop equally rapid will be the
growth of the own. There is q vast min

Frank G.. Loring, civil and mining engineer,

showing now is, it will exceed all present

CGgR D'ALENE CITIES.

n Husy Towns of Wallace, Wardner.
Mullan. Burke and Gem.
What most impressed the Helena visitors
the first morning after they arrived in
Wallace were the substantial business
houses and the neat and cosy residences.
The town lies in a little valley between two
big mountains, Sixth street being the main
business thorohghfsre. Near the depot
there is the usual cluster of saloons; but a
block farther on one comes to
the Fuller House, a fine three-storv
brick with excellent accommodations. In
the square above are drug houses Of which
Helena would not be ashamed. Then
comes Ban street, with financial institu-
tion on two corners, while the grocery house
OF White d Bender on another would be a
credit to any city. Holly, Mason, Marks &.
Co. represent the hardware interests, and
the extent of their stock was q revelation.
Ihe hotel accommodations are of the best,
the Carter house, of which G. d. Carter is
the proprietor, being very popular with
Montanians. Besides the Fuller and Carter
there are the Pacific and Idaho, making
four first-class houses. Then there are
numerous small hotels. Wallace is SO stu
ated as to hold the key to the business stu
alton In the Cour d'Alene country. The
railroads radiate from it to all the sur
rounding camps. and to get out or get into
the country. it is necessary to 90 through
Wallace. In consequence the merchants
carry large stocks, and the hotel accommo-
dations are based on the situation.
While Wallace has always Gtriven to keep
in the lead as the financial, mercantile,
mining and railroad center, other interests
have not boon allowed to suffer. The CITY
is governed by q board of trustees, of which
J. l.. Dunn, editor of the Ceur d'Alene
Miner, is chairman. Under this adminis-
tration the streets are kept in excellent
condition, while the board sidewalks, which
extend to all sections. are better than in
many portions of Helena. Both the streets
and sidewalks of Wallace are wide, SO that
one does not have that oppressive feeling
so often experienced inR town whore the
hills loom above for hundreds of feet. The
Methodist Episcopal church south is now
building a \ mat church, while the Episco-
pallsns already have a pleasant place
of worship. The Catholics have pur-
chased a site, and propose constructing a
church this year. The Miners Union hos
pitnl is also located here, under charge of
the Sisters Of Charity. There is a hand
some school building, the enrollment last
year being somewhere in the rsiehborhood
OF seventy. Two teachers are employed.
VI WAllacs's hospitality every man in the
party bears witness. There are two news
papers, the Miner and Press.

a SUGGESTION.

While the proposed charter amend
ments are under consideration. any
suggestion that can be made in the
way Of additions or changes is peril
nent. There is one point upon which
it seems that an important and neces-
sary addition might properly be made,
and that is in regard TO cleaning the
sidewalks Of snow. As the matter
now stands, the council cannot pass
an ordinance to relate TO any particu-
lar portion Of the city. In case ii should
direct that the sidewalks be cleared
off. it must be enforced equally on the
outskirts Of the city as in the central
and thickly settled portion. This fact
would practically render void any
such ordinance. as it is not to be sup
posed that the city would require that
both sides of Agency Hill or the ra-
vine road be cleaned of. If this was
not done. the ordinance could not be
enforced on any street.
This defect can be remedied by en-
bodying a section in the charter SINH
Lar To that relating TO street sprink-
ling. The council should be given
the power TO pass an ordinance relat-
ing TO the clearing of snow from the
walks in any portion of the city, and
providing that wherever property
owners fail TO attend TO il themselves
within a specified time the city shall
clean the walks and charge the cost
up against the property, which shall
be collected by special assessment.
The council would then have the pow
er TO have the walks on particular
streets cleared. We present this mat
ter for the consideration Of the Two
committees, and believe that the ma
jority Of the people viii be strongly in
favor Of it. But few people would be
affected by enforcing such an ordin-
ance. and they would mostly be non
residents who have little interest in
the city. while everyone would be
benefited. Nearly all cities of any
size have such provisions in Their
charter.

IN BEHALF OF LENTZ.

The attorneys for VIM. LentZ Satur-
day afternoon began the circulation OF
the following petition in his behalf.
The public generally viii be invited to
sign it:
To HIS Ercelleacy the Governor Of the State
Of Minnesota:
We. the undersigned citizens and
residents of the County OF Blue Earth
and State Of Minnesota. respectfully
petition your EXcellency that the SEN
tence imposed on the Defendant IN
the case Of the State Of Minnesota vs.
William LentZ be c0mmuted TO I'M
pris0nment for life. The sentence
now imposed being. as We understand
it, the extreme penalty OF the law.
And we ask your EXcellency TO inter
cede in this matter, because having
read the evidence introduced at the
trial Of the said cause We do not deem
the same sufficient TO justify the TAX
ing of the life of the Defendant. At
the trial of said action said evidence
being wholly circumstantial, there is
in our opinion, room for doubt as TO
the guilt of the Defendant sufficient
to invoke the clemency of your Excel
lency and thereby meet the wishes OF
the great majority: and we would
draw your Excellency's attention TO
the fact that. although the Jury found
the DEPENDENT guilty by their verdict,
they, nevertheless, accompanied such
verdict with a recommendation OF
mercy TO the court.
We, therefore. pray your EXcellency
TO exercise your prerogatiye and COM
mute the said sentence.
1t is expected that the case will
come before Gov. Merriam for final de-
termination about the middle Of Feb
ruary. LentZ feels confident that his
sentence viii be committed.

A TOUCH OF WINTER.

The wellknown individual who asks.
Is this cold enough for you 81 was
abroad to-day The answer was gen.
orally in the affirmative. for with the
temperature ranging from ten TO
twenty degrees below zero and a high
west wind blowing most people were
satisfied that it was no colder. Still.
there were few expressions of dissatis-
faction with the weather, as a few
days of real old fashioned winter
weather are not unwelcome TO our
people. The dry atmosphere is in
MIGRATING and sends the blood sing
ing through the veins with new life.
All nature is benefited by such wealth
er. 1t takes certain degree of cold
to kill certain of the bacilli that are
constantly floating through the air,
ready TO find Judgement In human be-
ings and breed disease in weak con-
situations. The rich ozone which is
borne on the west wind on such day
as to-day has a more invigorating
effect than wine or other stimulating
drink. and enables the system TO throw
off disease, when the proper outdoor
exercises is INDUCED in. and houses
are kept at the proper temperature.
The temperature last night reached
the lowest point of the winter, twenty
degrees below zero. but by morning it
had risen six or seven degrees, the
wind having gotten around into the
south. During the forenoon it
changed TO the west and came in in
creased force, causing the light snow
to drift. Very few farmers were In
from the country, and those few re-
ported rough time on the prairie.
Owing TO the wind, it was difficult TO
keep house up to TO the proper tenn
perature.

GOOD FOR MANKATO.
Mankato Puts In the Lowest Bid for
Cut Stone for the New Lock at
Sault Ste. Marie.

Bids were opened Tuesday at the
office of Gen. O. NJ. Poe. United States
Engineer, at Detroit, Mich, for work
and material required in the building
of the large lock in the new St. Mary's
Falls canal, at Sault Ste. Marie. The
offices were crowded with bidders.
Four of the Mankato stone quarry
proprietors. Messrs. Fred Widell, w.
B. Craig, Maxfeld s. Coughlan, and
Frank Fowler. are interested III the
bids for supplying the cut stone and
the backing stone. For furnishing
and delivering at the 500 1900 cubic
yards of cut stone. large number OF
bids were received, and the bid OF
Zimmerman. Truax s Co., for Manka-
TO stone, at SD per cubic yard, was the
lowest. The next highest bid was s23-
This will mean the supplying of s4S4. :
600 worth of stone, in case the bid Is
accepted.
The bids will be considered by Gen.
Poe. who viii carefully look them
over and then forward them TO Wash
ington, together with any recommeR-
dations in reference to the awarding
of contracts he may desire to make.
If the contract is awarded according
to the lowest bid, and there is no rea-
son why it should not be, each Of the
above named auarrymen must get out
sl2l. 900 worth of stone for the great
lock. This viii make the next sea-
son a lively one at the quarries, and
greatly assist in making the year a
prosperous one for all in the city.
Mankato stone cannot be eXcelled
by any other for the purposes for which
it will be needed in filing this con-
tract. Its well earned reputation in
connection with bridge building has
long given it a standing in all parts of
the Northwest which other varieties
of stone cannot attain. 1t is as i'm
pervious TO the disintegrating agencies
at work under water as TO those above
water, and in scores of the strongest
and best public buildings as well as
bridges it has stood the test Of time
as few other varieties can. An i'm
partial investigation into its merits
Will prove TO the government engin-
GERS that they will make no mistake
in accepting the lowest bid.
Our stone quarry men are to be con-
graduated upon the result OF the bids.
Mr.. Craig is at Detroit looking after
their interests
