"A Citizen of North Great Falls on Its
Advantages
To The INDEPENDENT-I notice that the
newspapers are discussing the proposition
of navigating the Missouri river, but all of
the papers SEEM to ignore the existence of
this place. I want to enter this town in the
race for supremacy at this end Of the river,
and say right here that if ever steamboats,
are run on the river we are going to have
them land some distance below Broadwater
bay, because we believe the main town was
put in the wrong place and will soon move
to the proper location. which We think we
have got. Whether the river is ever i'm
proved above Hilger's or not, we know that
there is a stretch of water from the Black

The Public Administrator.

The seourensnt and enjoymens of private
property is one Of the fundamental rights
secured under our government by the CON
stitution and it follows As a consequences
that where one ~accumulates property in his
life time it should not be wasted or squan-
dered when an administration il had
thereon.
Tn records Of the probate department of
this court disclose a condition Of affairs in
the highest degree censurable in so far as
the public administrator Of this county is
concerned. During his incumbrancs of the
office from the fall of 1888 up to the present
time there have passed through his hands
from eighteen to twenty-five estates, n
SO far az All inspection of the papers enable
US to state there are only n few of these
estates closed up, but Of this we cannot
speak with any degree Of certainty because
of the incomplete condition Of ths records.
If this were the only Objectionable fea-
ture presented there would be an act of
omission on the part of the public admin
istrator and others, which, although repre-
hensiblo, would not be criminal. Thu
present incumbent has not only failed in
the matter Of expedition in tho admins
tration of estates, but he has violated
every provision of law governing his con
duct in the course of administrator. Not
merely is he required to make a report to
the court semi annually, but he has to file
q monthly report with the county clerk
and recorder of the condition of the es-
tates while in his custody. and likewise to
deposit the none belonging to the several
estates with the county treasurer, except
such amount as would be needful to de-
fray the expenses of administration. All
of these duties he has either neglected TO
discharge, or has lone so in such a per-
fuEctory and careless manner as to be abb
valueless for the purposes IN
tended. Not only that, but he has been a
party to the spoIiation Of estates and the
appropriation Of money unnecessarily for
legal and other services, though not to such
spect criminal.

School Supplies.

With the increased and increasing school
population in the city it became necessary
for the school~ trustees in the spring Of 1890
to make provision for additional supplies
in the shape of desks and other furniture.
The board Of school district No. l, which
at that time was composed of William H.
Guthrie. Robt Fl. Howey and S. @. Gill
patrick, (although it is only fair to say that
in this instance Mr.. Gilpatrick, owing to
illness and absence from the district, was
not a party to the contract and the arrange
ments which led thereto,) solicited bids
from tho local concerns who handled the
materials and the furniture desired. In this
connection, as affecting the action of the
trustees, it might be stated that the desks,
which were to be purchased, in the matter
of cost would approximate $1,000, and vet
this large amount of money was expended
without any conpetion in tho shape of bids,
except as the sequel will show. The
minutes Of the proceedings Of
the board will show that Il con-
tract for furnishing desks and
supplies for two years was made with Il
local house at prices 80 per cent. higher
than desks and supplies of equal merit
could be obtained. and the person Obtain
ing this contract being asked If the price
was not 4 largo one unhesitatingly made
the remark that if competition existed he
would and could furnish those supplies and
desKs at a considerably less inquire, but that
IN making this rrics he did not suppose
and had no reason to believe that there
would DO active competition. The records
Of the school board likewise show that
there were two bids before the board. and
from the fact that the desks in question,
for which, in eur judgment. an exorbitant
price WAS paid, were selected by the board
before the price thereof was known, as con.
tanned in the bid, it is only fair to assume
that the matter of cost wac not an element
to be considered i'll the purchases to be
made. AS already stated nearly $1,000 have
been expended by the board In the pur-
chase Of Gesks, under tho circum-
stances as above set forth, and there is
now pending Il controversy, involving the
liability of the school district, for an add
tlonal supply of desks under that contract
where tbs amount claimed 10 in the neigh
porhood of $1,000. There is under the law
a discretion vested in the school trustees,
whom expanding public money in the pur-
chase or school supplies, bnt in this in
atancs we are LED to conclude that this dis
erection mas been exercised in Il manner con-
splcuousiy unfavorabls to the interests of
