PREPARING FOR PROSPERITY.

While Helena has not escaped the
general business depression through
which the entire country is passing, as a
result of last winters financial disturb
ances at home and abroad, the manner
in which the city is going through the
period OF stringency must make every
citizen proud of it's stability and more
confident than ever of its future. Our
capitalists and business mon have
bravely me- the situation. and the enter
prises that have been planned and
begun are not parallelled by any other
city in the northwest. The capacity Of
our great smelter has been doubled,
100000 having been appropriated by the
company this season for the extension
made necessary by increasing business.
The paving Of Main street in a most
thorough manner has been ordered by
the city council, at the unanimous re-
quest of property owners, and the work
will begin as soon as the materials are
received. A club house which will cost
when completed and furnished, at least
100000 is already under way. The
Helena end of the Valley railroad has
been graded and the track laid, the
necessary money for the artesian well
has been su bscribed, the Stedman iron
works, for which our people have sub
scribed 100000, are we'll advanced in
construction. the new railroad to the
Occur d'Alenes has been completed,
largely through the efforts Of Helena
capitalists, and the great trade Of that
region will be made tributary to Helena;
and a score of other undertakings, some
of them near contamination, have beer
promoted. Two great national conven-
tions, that of the Ancient Order O
United Workmen and the National Ed
vocational association, have been secured
for 1892.
All these things have been accom-
plished in a season when trade is duh
money scarce, and new enterprises have
Jagged from lack of capital. What viii
the conditions be when we feel the full
force OF the prosperity that the presen'
seasons products from flock and hero
and mine will bring to US? Is it an,
wonder that croakers are becoming few
and the great mass of our people feel
confidence in the city's greatness tina
they never felt before?

Dahncke and fitzpatrick Reach Minneap-
oils IN Their Way to Chicago.
Dahncke and Fitzpatrick left Helena at
noon on June % and arrived at Minneapolis
yesterday morning. In a special telegram
to The INDEPENDENT they say they were the
guests of the st. Pau Wheelmen, and were
escorted about the city by twenty members
of the local club. They were excellently
treated, and will leave for Chicago this
morning. When they took their departure
from Helena tue young men expected to
make the trip in forty days, but owing to
heavy roads and the rains slow progress was
made from here down the Yellowstone val
ley and into the eastern part of the state.
1t was the intention when they left here to
make Il short stay in Chicago and return by
rail. Members of the local club hele think
that the high wheels which Dahncke and
Fitzpatrick started on are now pretty well
used up, as they had been in use for soma
time before the trip. The wheelmen here
are greatly pleased that the Helena boys
stuck SO we'll to their task. and are now
awaiting the news of their safe arrival at
Chicago.

not run SO we'll in 1883 as in 1854, and it

THE Springfield Republican reasons
from history that the republican party
would not improve it's prospects by set
ting aside Harrison and taking Blaine or
another republican for 1892. 1t is pos
sible, as the Republican suggests, that
the Democrats did not gain anything by
dropping Polk and taking up Cass in
lS4S, that the Republicans made a mis-
take in turning Arthur down for Blaine
in 1884, but there is another side to the
question. The denomination of Martin
Van Buren, surely was a political blum
der. Grant weakened the Republican
party SO much that his nomination for i.
second term would have Deer perilous to
ths party had he been opposed by a

was only ahead once, by n few points. Ken
ran out from l4l. The game places Kenney

WRECK.

The trains last Sunday were
much DELAYED by a ditched coal
train near Mlllville. A heavy
rain fell Saturday evening and
Sunday morning and raised the
river to such violence that it let
down The tract on one side. A
coal train. north bound, was go
ing at a swift rate when sudden.
ly the tract gave way sending
six loaded cars rolling into the
river. The engine gave a sud-
den Iunge and broke loose from
the train, thus not being derail-
ed saved the lives of the engin-
eer and fireman. 1t is said that
a man sat near the tract close 10
the washout, looking at 1t and
saw the approaching train but
gave no sign of danger. II
would have been a good idea TO
have soaked his head in the
river and walked him up.
