TIL V OLD MILL

An old mill messy from roof comb to
stony base, was rumbling and growing
beside its brook A big overshot water
to the rest of the building slowly re.
volved with the gushing and gurgling
water filling its Shiny buckets
Some wide armed oaks and slender
pines grew all about In every direction
mountain peaks rose against the blue
north Georgia sky The air had all the
freshness and fragrance of the south.
The mill fronted eastward, looking
down a narrow fertile valley, now just
beginning to clothe itself in vernal splen-
dors of leaf and flower; along the sinu-
ous channel of the brook grew clumps OF
willows overtopped here and there by
white armed plane trees and gnarled tu-
lips-there called poplars.
few hnmbe houses the homes OF
poor farmers were scattered along the
slopes OF the valley which was not more
than three miles in Its greatest width,
and which cut through the mountains.
some five miles east OF the mill. by O
jagged gap called the Mouth of the
Pocket
Such fields as had been opened for cul-
tivatlon IN this little valley or pocket,
were titled up against the mountain sides,
and lay red and brown in the sunlight,
save where the wheat and rye had made
them tender green The forests of oak,
hickory and pine ran in variegated bill
lows to the very tops Of the mountains.
Wild flowers grew everywhere In fact,
no other region can compare with the
hill country OF north Georgia for the
variety and loveliness Of its wild flowers
Its woods apd fields are gay with them
from early spring until the drought OF
midsummer Kills them.

with snow just now and the troops are de-
voting their time to the protection OF game
which must be guarded with mole than
usual care during the winter season. This
work is lone by parties on snow shoes. A
rough estimate of game in tho Park now
would include 49, 600 elk. 800 antelope. 400

tain sheep. with plenty of bear, beaver and
other varieties.. The game increases from
year to year. Last week I sent five fine
bear to Washington for the geological gar
den. think the service in the Park last
summer was very satisfactory. The trans
porsation facilities under charge of MIR.
Huntley were excellent and the hotels were
kept to a good standard. OF course there
were complaints, though all but a few were
groundless. There are some tourists who
will sven hold the government responsible
for the weather"
The captains favorite topic is the segre-
CATION bill. which he strongly opposes.

The Post Office Entrance.

To The INDEPENDENT: Is there not some
way to relieve the public from the delay
and annoyance of opening the post Office
doora? believe the entrance to the Helena
post ofic e is the worst Of any between New
York and San Francisco. 1t occurs to me
that the doors might be set back two or
three feet, and made to swing both ways at
"a tritling expsnse, and thus save the pa
thence Of thousands of people. If you will
stand and watch the efforts of men, women
and children tugginl at the miserable
latch to get the door open you will discover
that whole days of time are occupied in
getting through it. If this cannot be ar
ranged in any other way, | will be one to
head u subscription to pay for having the
doors changed, and furnishing a decent en-
trance into the.post office building.

other valuable thing whatsoever, except
as Is provided in the bill.
Section two prohibits the pernicious
practice OF trading and says that no can
didate shall promise to appoint, or So
cure the appointment or nomination OF
any other candidate. Section four de-
fines the legitimate expenses OF candi-
dates Ii says that a candidate for nom
nation or election to a public Office may
incur in connection with such nomina
tion and election his own personal ex-
penses for travelling, for writing, print
ing and preparing for transmission, any
letter, circular or other publication,
which is not used at regular intervals,
whereby he may make known his own
position or views upon public or other
questions; for stationery and postage;
for telegraph, telephone and other pub
lie messenger service and other petty
personal expenses; but all such expenses
shall be limited to those which are di-
rectly incurred and paid by such can
didate. In the case of candidates for
tho office of United States senator. rep"
~resentatives in congress and the candi-
dates for state offices, except members
Of the state legislature, the sum OF $50
is the maximum limit. For state
tors and representatives the amount is
s15O; for candidates for county officers,
500, and for candidates for city, village
and municipal offices, 800.
A person who is nominated as a can
didat tie for public Office may make a vol
untsry payment Of money to a political
committee for the promotion OF the
principles of the party which the COM
mittee represents, and for the general
of that committee. But a
limit is made also to these voluntary
payments. In all cases in which a
stated annual salary is fixed for any
office, the candidate is allowed in no
event to exceed five per cent of such
annual salary for one year. In all cases
where no fixed salary is provided by the
law of the state or the ordinances of the
city or village, but where the officers are
remunerated by fees, the candidate may
contribute to the political com
mittee not to exceed five per cent OF
the amount received by the occupant OF
that office for the year Immediately pre-
ceding. In no instance is this amount
to exceed the sum of $500.
A law Of similar purport undoubtedly
will be enacted in many states this win
ter. 1t is the natural sequence of the
Australian ballot act. The bulldozing
and coercing Of voters has been stopped
by the secret ballot; the next step is to
prevent the improper use of money at
elections and the purchase of offices by
those who can afford to pay for them.

THE Hon. Michael Davitt may now
send a telegram Of sympathy to Mr..
Would-Be Leech of Choteau county.
The only striking difference in their
cases is that Davltt received a majority
over his opponent, while Leech did not.
By a resolution in the house Of commons
in 1882 the great Irish leader was rem
dered ineligible to membership in that
body on the ground that he had been
convicted of a felony. In this respect
Leech has rather the best of him,
though he is ineligible to a seat of the
next Montana legislature.

The INDEPENDENT has frequently
urged the necessity Of a better enforce
ment of the game laws. These laws
have been violated SO openly and shame
fully within the past year as to cause
genuine alarm among all honest sports
men Of the state. The present statutes
are not SO bad, though they doubtless
would stand revision. The pressing
need is for better enforcement, which
can be secured only by enlarging the
protective force. 1t is hoped that the
subject will receive proper attention.
