THE theory that population in alti-
tudes as high as Montana is. likely to re-
main sparse is dispelled by tho figures
just compiled by Henry Gannett, geog-
rapher of the census. While it is true
that in the area below 500 feet is in
cluded nearly all that part OF the popu-
lation which is engaged in %manufactur-
ing and commerce., the increase in the
area between 1000 and 6,0OO feet is
markedly in excess of that in the grades
between 500 and 100 feet. while
population is increasing numerically in
all attitudes, it's relative movement is
decidedly toward the region of greater
attitudes" says Mr.. Gannett. This is
shown very clearly by the fact that the.
average elevation at which the inhabi-
tants of the United States lived in 1870
was GS7 feet, in 1880 739 feet, while in
1890 it had increased to 1888 feet. And
by another decade the growth of great
cities in the intermountain region will
lift our people still nearer heaven.

THE SHADOWGRAPHER.

A distinctively American character who
has thus far passed unnoticed through the
tanning mill of Mr.. Rudyard Kipling and
his English predecessors, is the train news
boy. He is an originality peculiar to the
western hemisphere, and while not the out
growth of an extraordinary craving for lit
erature on the part Of the American travelling
public, he is nevertheless a native product,
interesting in many ways. We look for his
appearance IN the tram as we look for the
conductor, and we snub him as we do a
follower of a more mental occupation.
Accustomed to this he takes it as a matter
of course. He knows that no chilliness
from a passing traveller can stop his Journey
to the presidents Office. If you have no
use for a popular novel of the day. per-
haps you would like some of these nice fresh
walnut meats. You do not even give him a
glance, but, UNBIASED, he rsappears on the
next tour with California oranges, pears
and plums and fresh fig paste. He stays

The ~preponderance of evidence was
too prepondersting for successful
contradiction, as Col. Nolan would
say, 80 Pete capitulated. The
news agents appetite thus satisfied,
ne picked up his load and continued his
journey. The first passenger was an old
lady Of New England pedigree, who had
started from the oriental village of Nor
wlch, Conn, to see the Yellowstone park.
She carried a wicker lunch basket, a COPY
of Rev. James Swiggler's Evening and
Morning Thoughts" and was dressed in a
linen duster and plain straw hat. BY her
side was a hem-stitched handkerchief with
the name Evalina worked in the corner.
This article of apparel was frequently con-
suited after reading a thought or so from
Mr.. Swiggler'a work. These trifles had

THE New York Times, in a careful re-
view Of the real estate market in that
CITY, summarizes the situation in a few
paragraphs that are equally pertinent to
this locality. It says:
Owners and operators alike seem to be
lying on their oars, waiting for the advent
of a ~long-e1pected break in the period of
dullness, Owners who are able to hold
their property-and there appear to be but
few in the city now who are unable to hold
on-have given up looking for purchas-
ers in the prevailing condition of the mar
ket.
A broad distinction should be drawn
between the prevailing dullnsss and an
idea that there is any depression under
which people are going to give their pro-
rerty away. There never was q more hope
full and confident lot of holders than there
are to-day. In common with the rest of
the public spirited people of New York,
they have the strongest kind of faith in the
future of the city, and are impressed with
the very comfortable reflection that all thew
want will come to them if they only wait.
The rapidly strengthening conviction,
also, that there ia more money in the bank
ing reserves than there is need of, and that
IL will soon find its way into the hands of
the investors, is doing much to revive the
hopes of the traders. But some weeks
must elapse before there will be any
material improvement in the general real
estate market.

WI submit the views of Reverend
Samuel Jones on the rise of progressive
euchre in the history of gambling de-
vioes. After saying that the only "hon-
est" form of gambling is when men play
with a dirty and greasy pack of cards
and a black bottle between them" Mr..
Jones continues.
How are We going to stop gambling? 1t
will be a terrible job to do it, for as long az
a pack of cards is in existence the evil re-
mains. 1t can never be don't as long az
those sinful affairs known as progressive
euchrs parties are allowed to 90 on. What
a farce to call them progressive euchre par
ties. anyway. They arc gambling parties,
nothing else, and are doing more to ruin
our young men and women than ANYTHING
else ! / Know of. 1t is sickening to 500 the
way our church people attend these affairs.
Deacons and elders who never miss a Sun
day at church gather in tbs parlors of one
of the parishioners and for two or three
hours at a time to sweat and struggle for
prizes. But if anyone should ask them to
git down and play a penny ante game of
poker they would raise their hands in holy
horror.
Proprietors of progressive euchre
games in Helena will please see that
their licenses are made out in good form
before the season opens.

TUESDAY evening Mr.. Henry B. Hyde,
president Of the Equitable Life lnsur-
ance company. Of New York, will arrive
in Helena, accompanied by a party of
friends. They will undoubtedly be we'll
entertained by the Board of Trade and
unless very callous indeed will receive
favorable impressions of our city. We
suggest that Nh. Hyde be invited to
glance in a cursory way at the magniti-
cent line of stone and brick buildings on
Main street and be given a quiet hint
that an Equitable building would make
a most desirable addition and profitable
investment for his company.

Our army courts have very tine-edged
ideas about "honah." Lieut.. James A.
Smith, Of the First cavalry, was recently
tried by a court martial for indebted
ness, found guilty and sentenced to dis
missal from the army. 1t is thought,
however, hat President Harrison will
reduce the severity OF the sentence. In
debtedness outside the army was never
considered SO serious a crime as to de-
mand punishment, except in cases OF
dishonesty. Because a man lives above
his means he should not be deprived of
his profession.

dedication ceremonies is a most happy
choice. Gen. Miles combines in his own

American soldier. The latest official
bulletin of the fair says: "The military

THE MONTANA STATE FAIR.

The Montana State Fair should be
all that the name implies. 1t should be
a yearly exhibit of native products
from all sections Of the state and should
grow in extent and Importance each
year. The popularity Of the fair has
been handicapped by the races. For the
purpose of filling in dates for the circuit
fair week has been set at a time when
it is impossible to make tho best exhibit
Of our IL A month later would
be more advantageous in every way.
Grains, fruits and vegetables are then
ready to show in abundance. There
would be far greater interest among our
farmers and the purpose Of the fair
would be realized. Like the great st.
Louis fair, it should be conducted with
the sole view Of making the very best
exhibits in the various departments. 1t
is easy to see how it may become the
great annual exposition OF the north
west. This great state, rich in its mines
and agricultural lands, should devote a
few days in the year to a substantial
6IOry OF It's CROWN. Not only is IT
pleasant for the Montanian to view the
progress Of his fellow workers, but by
his efforts he assists in giving the state
the best advertisement of her
to visitors from the outside.
We suggest that the directors Of the
fair association give this matter earnest
and thoughtful consideration. If the
rae meeting must be held in August,
how would it do to try the experiment
of holding the fair a month later. 1t
has been argued that the races must be
held fair week in order to bring people
to the fair. We believe the fair can be
made sufficiently attractive to bring
people from all sections of the state.
Possibly a two or three days race meet
ing instead of the July meeting could be
arranged in September as part of the
entertainment programme for the fair
and with entrances limited only to
Montana horses. The purpose to be
reached is more attention to the exhibit
which is now given second place to the
races in popular interest. This is be-
cause they are counter attractions.

SINCE the Harrison people cannot kill

how would it do for them to give him a

a sure method, and we suggest it to Mr..

tried to break the door open. With
knife in one hand and a revolver
in the other she drove him from the
house, Monday night Jones returned
to Buffalo and was talking with a

Mrs. Wright saw him. Securing a

pursued him from the hotel to the
