The semi-weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1890-1891, 1891-01-14

EARLY in the money stringency period
the ground was taken that many of the
failures were but temporary and due to
the sudden change from credit to a cash
basis, more thar to any real cause for
failure. This position has been fully
sustained by subsequent events. The
gigantic failure of the New York firm
of Decker, Howell IL Co., early in No
vemher, had a most depressing effect
upon business ut the time. but by proper
management of the assets, the hrm
inside Of two months announce that II
will pay its creditors a dividend of 100
per cent, or dollar FOR COLLAR, with inter
est il lull, and Is ready to resume bust
ness. Considering the faci that the fail
ure was for $l2, 100000, this is a wonder
full showing, and is the strongest kind vi
an argument IN support OF the statement
made when things looked bluest, that il
reason and common sense was allowed to
prevail the business clouds would soon
roll away.

MONTANA NEEDS A MINING
BUREAU.

If Montana's legislature ever legislates
it is to be hoped that the states need OF
a Mining Bureau will be realized and
satisfied. Such a department would be
of inestimable benefit to our leading H.
dustry and indirectly to every material
interest. California has such a Bureau
and it has proven at once Il promoter and
a safeguard to the business OF mining.
Colorado is on the eve OF establishing d
like department of state and there is no
reason why Montana should not follow
suit. 1t would be a good thing II we
could have in Montana a Mining Bureau
similar to the one in California. The
California Bureau carefully and system
atically collects information in regard to
the mineral resources OF that state anu
its records and documents are open at
all times to the inspection OF lnquireTs.
1t follows that the information which
one may obtain there is trustworthy,
because no consideration other than a
desire to ascertain the truth is a lowed
to control the action of the Bureau ana
its empioyes. Presumably the proposed
Montana Bureau would he under the
charge of men thoroughly com
paten, to discharge their duties
and exact thorough and faithful labor
from their employees. No political on
sideration should bp allowed 10 influence

Miss BashkirtseH.s Tomb.

Marie's body lies in the chapel built
by her mother in the cemetery of Passy,
just outside Of Paris. The chapel is a
work of art, designed by Bastien Le-
pages brother and made of marble. In
building this memorial chapel Nine.
Bashkirtseff disregarded cost entirely. so
much so in fact that it went beyond even
her means, and still remains to be paid
for. Around Marie's grave are hung all
her best pictures, those of some Of her
girl friends still alive, which must be
rather gloomy, and the picture which
Bastien Lepage painted when he tried
unsuccessfully to win the Prix de Rome
as a young man, for which Nine. Bash
kirtseff paid an immense price after the
artists death. She thought, as she told
Marie's friends. that it would please
Marie to have the painting in which Bias
ten was SO much interested hanging up
near her body. The building of such q
chapel as Marie's in the cemetery of
Passy was contrary to the municipal reg.
ulations. 1t was through the influence
of the Marechal de Canrobert, who is
also a senator. that Nine. Bashkirtseff
got special permission from the Paris
municipal council. New York Sun.

Career of Famous War Vessel in the

Very few vessels OF the navy played
such a conspicuous part in the war Of

"Pawnee, built at Philadelphia in the
year 1855. Bark rugged, screw steamer
Of fifteen guns, S72 tons. When it was
determined to send relief to Fort Stump
ter, the Pawnee was one Of the vessels
selected, leaving New York. April 6,
1861, reaching Charleston Harbor on the
18th. When Major Anderson's garrison
was transferred TO the steamer Baltic,
for New York, the Pawnee proceeded to
Washington, d. G., reaching there on
the 18TH And then under command of
Captain S. c. Rown, the Pawnee was
ordered to Norfolk navy yard with Com
modore Paulding to save the yard from
capture by the insurgents. Finding it
impossible to do so, the yard was de-
stroyed and the Pawnee returned to
Washington and constituted a part Of
the Potomac Flotilla there; consisting
of the Freedom, Anicostia and Reso-
Lutte.
The first naval engagement of the war
was fought by these three vessels and
the Pawnee at Matthias Point near Ac-
quia creek, on the Potomac river, May,
1861. The Pawnee was then ordered to
Alexandria, Va, and assisted in landing

Pawnee joined the Port Royal expedi-
