" y A"PloiociS' genera
manager Of the Hecla Mining comnan,
Of Glendale, makes a proposition to n.
charitably inclined in Montana, in >,
open letter, which he requests the prss,
Of the state to publish. His proposto,
is that a state orphanage be establishst
for the care and maintenance Of il,
helpless orphans. Mr.. Knippenbe,,
says: :
Montana can only be made great and
glorious ia proportion as each indiyidu,
citizen of the state will contribute n
ward a high standard of good moral,
industry, enterprise, education. and ill.,
eral, unseltish charity. These are tn.
factors that help to raise and lift up III.
masses.
/ wish to appeal to the best men and
women Of our state to consider the nj
lowing crude suggestion in the way d
charity for the helpless orphans that We
have, and for those that in years to come
will doubtless be our heritage.
Our state should have an orpbas
asylum to care for and educate and save
our orphan children. The foundatm
should be laid deep and broad. looking
forward to the great future, so that Al
may be cared for that may be left Oh Oh,
hands. In no way a we honor God
more, and in no way bless humanity and
our state than t, help the helpless.
Trrst-The Montana Orphanage sbar
be absolutely free from the controId
the state, sect and religious DONNA
tons.
Second Every helpless orphan child
shall be admitted.
Third Let 100 men and women il
Montana each give 500 II will head ts
list with that amonntL making a ,Vs
paid up capital stock Of $4,000.
Fourth The district court Of s5
county in the state shall appoint re
man from each county sixteen mai
all from the men so subscribing 10 al
county. These sixteen mel shall Omh
ize the Montana %orphanage. with aM
up capital stock of SJ0,OOO. These 81
teen men shall constitute a board d
trustees and shall draw lots for termst
service one, two. three, and four year
four retiring each year. and their sue
cessors shall he appointed by the distrir
judge in the county where the term pt
pires.
Fifth When the organization shall b
perfected and the $4,000 fully paid up
the board Of trustees shall call 70
and entertain propositions from indivi
uals, counties, cities and towns for dons
tons in the way Of material, ground am
money for the orphanage location, an
the individual, county. city or tow
making the largest and most dcsirabb
donation shall receive the location ofth
o%rphanage.
Sixth The board Of trustees snail s
lect every two years a board of wont
managers. one woman from each count
sixteen in all. who shall have charge {
the domestic management Of the asylum
the reception and discharge Of childrel
securing homes, etc.
Scvcnth-No trustee or woman MAJ
ager shall receive any compensate
while in office.
merely suggest this ground pa
'uii'liHS many III tH' tttdliS ! ildN'
mind. There are many men and womc
in our state much wiser and better gifte
to become the architects Of this work
unseltish charity.
! am sure the ~orphanage in wears
come will receive the support Of ol
larger-hearted people. and no doui
many Of our ricE me would make "a
least in part this institution the ohI'
Of their dying requests.
To test the will of our people 10 III
matter. ! will constitute myself a cor
mittee Of one to receive and ansv
letters, to receive subscriptions. but
no case any money be paid or subscrI
tions be binding until the full amour
viz. $4,000. is subscribed, and then Il
money shall be paid to the board
trustees only.
Men and women Of Montana. VII
say you: Shall the knowledge 60 for
that Montana is rich in wealth but po
in works of love and charity. In Il
matter let me sink out of sight, but
the O~rphanage and the blessing
reared and sustained.
