To our own dear favored Union, to our
country of the free,
He now comes with special presents,
with especial Christmas glee,
And out of his so wonderous store, nice
gifts of every kind
To young aud old Americans, he gives
with cheerful mind.
From hence he goes to Mexico, and
southwark then still more,
Until the Western Hemisphere he's
travelled DER and DER
And then, o height of mysteries he goes,
10 and behold!
Fen faster yet than tightening from the
new world to the old.
And there, his load now lighter, still
faster he can go,
And faster still his presents he continues
to bestow.
He goes to Northern Africa and to
Australia next,
Then to the neighboring islands and
then Asia's towns inspeCts.
From thence he goes 10 Europe, to those
countries old and grand,
And again he gives out presents with a
loving, geueous hand.
And now his work completed, and empty

He guides the reindeer bomeward, and
and homeward speeds away.
And 10! ere Christmas morning has
scarcely yet begun,
Dear Santa Claus gain gladly greets
his dear ones every one.
And now with his dear family, in their
delightful ways,
With happiness unbounded, he spends
the holidays
Brimful of joy and gladness, which

He teaches us the secret of all true
happiness.
Would we be truly happy, dear children

Like him let us endeavor e'er kind to all

Let's find our greatest pleasure in giving

In making others happy let's all our

And if we're always busy in such a
noble cause,
Well surly e'er be happy, like our dear

IRp. Santa CLAUS.

Written for the LIGHT HOLIDAY EDITION.
Listen now dear children and most surely
you shall hear
OF the life and works of our Mr.. Santa
Claus SO dear.
To be sure we know that often you've
already heard of him;
Old Santa Claus whose heart is filled
with kindness to the brim;-
Yet we hope that we'll be able to tell
you something new,
And INTERESTING and pleasing, even long
before we're through.
Well, Mr. Santa Claus was born long,
long, yes long ago.
So long ago that he himself his real age
don't know.
Z He passed happy childhood mid the
Northland's ice and snow,
And cen in childhood he began his
generous traits to show
A merry generous hearted boy,-a kind
man he became,
And by his liberal gifts he soon obtained
aworld wide fame.
And by consent of all the world, this
fame he still enjoys,
AS he has ever proved himself so kind
to girls and boys
In the far away, cold Northland he has
chos'n to make his home.
Though his many Christmas duties
cause him oft away to roam.
Here with Mrs. S. his dear wife, and
his little Santas too,
He is always meditating to get up some
thing new.
Something new to please the children"
is his motto kind aud dear
AS he manufactures presents for the
holidays each year.
And thus he's always busy and his spare
time we'll employs,
In bringing forth bright novelties in the
line of pretty toys;
With which the hearts to gladden. of the
many girls and boys;
And with which to make still greater
the many Christmas joys.
'Tis the last part of December and old
Santa Clauses hone,
Which all the year is lively now still

For now everything is ready for his
journey round the earth;

As they anxiously are waiting to see

Santa leaps aboard,
And he shouts to wife and Santas loving
parting word:
Good by wife and good by children,

Her Son.
SANTA FE, N. NJ, March 8.-Rodrigo Mar
tinez, miner who had just returned from
8 long stay in Old Mexico, was stabbed to
the heart by his mother last evening at Ell
Ritom, about ten miles from here. Some
years ago Rodrigo Martinez went to Old
Mexico to make his fortune in mining,
leaving his mother and sweetheart. to
whom he promised to return and marry
when his fortune was made. Geo. Dallston
when Martinez lefs made love to the lat

fused to marry him. 10 make sure that
Martinez would never return, he had the

with him in disguise. While Disgusting
himself his rival ran to his mothers house
and said he would bring the SLAYER of her
son to her in few minutes, and that she
should kill the rascal. When Rodrigo on

BACK FROM CREEDE.
Tom Graham Says There Are Twenty
Better Camps in Montana.

Tom Graham Says There Arc Twenty
Better Camps in Montana.
Thos. L. Graham is back from Creede and
thinks there are probably twenty camps in
Montana that are better than the boom
town of Colorado. He looks upon the
Creede excitement as boom worked up by
the railroads Creede, he says, has been
laid out for population Of 10000. There
are in it already between $500 and 1000.
When it settles down to a legitimate basis
it Will support population Of perhaps 500
or 1000 people. AT present there are 100
miners, seventy teamsters and about 2UO
carpenters at work. AS soon as building
ceases there will be nothing for the carpen-
tiers TO do and the actual working force Of
the camp will be REDUCED that much. There
has got to be nose good mines discovered
if the town is to amount to anything.
The best now operated is the Last
Chance. 1t is only down seventy feet,
which would. be considered a very poor
prospect in Montana. 1t is shipping ore
daily, but" added Mr.. Graham, whether
railroad ballast nobody knows" Lots Of
people are going into Creede. They are

but manage to hold on to 1t, and go away
again. There are lots of workingmen go
ing in too, but MIR. Crahan considers them
pretty lucky II they nave money enough TO
get out again, It is, in his opinion, q poor
place for d workingman. Creede, he says,
is between 5000 and 10000 feet above sea
level, aud any tendency to cough Is greatly
aggravated there.
Creede is we'll supplied with saloons and
in every one there is gambling going on.
But two of the games, however, are making
money There is one ''snre thing game
there. which is picking up the 'innocents"
right along. Bob Ford, the slayer Of Jesse
James, is there, running a saloon. He was
not killed, as reported. "He was pointed
out to me on the street several times" says
Mr.. Graham, land I was asked if I would
not like to meet him. didn't care to be
introduced to man who had shot his best
friend in the back, and said SO. However,
did meet him before | left"
Aocot ding to Mr.. Graham the real estate
craze must be at an abnormal height in
Creede. When the school land lots ''in the
swamp" were sold, one on the corner went
for $1OA front foot. The women of the
town posed as widows and got their lots at
the minimum figures. One of them, who
was we'll known, and notorious, said she
was widow with three children, and got
an inside lot for $105. The Widows ''hus-
band'' stood behind her during the bidding,
and held her pet poodle in his arms. The
''synlpathy racket was worked for all there
was in it.

not long ago discovered. and which is
now being mined moro extensively every
year, has been found good enough for
all practical purposes. There is enough
OF It to supply tho world for generations,
it is easily mined and transported. TN
fortunately, it is too Tar away for the
use Of our eastern neighbors, who ara
tied hand and foot by tho new trust.
Tho only combination that has seri :
ously impaired the interest or Montana
is the gold bug crowd OF the east that
has kept silver below it's honest value;
but, RS will be seen from the last vote
in the house on the Bland bill, even this
is doomed. The men who have expended
millions Of dollars in developing the sill
ver mines in the west, have given en-
ployment to laborers at highest day
wages have fought long and hard to re-
ceive the honest returns for their work.
At last they have been joined by the
people of the southern and central west
ern states who have suffered under the
legislation Tor millionaires and monopo-
lists. 1t looks now as If the end OF this
reign was in sight and that labor will re-
celve it's legitimate reward. Montana,
with all her 7ared resources OF wealth,
her workers who have come here to
build up the prosperity OF the state
along with their own worldly fortunes,
are much better off than the agricultu-
raj population of the south and west
which has suffered by bad legislation.
But all will rejoice together over the
promised victory for their rights.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR SILVER.

In the esteemed Journals edition Of
yesterday may be found telegraphic
information Of much significance. In
view of the persistent endeavors OF that
paper to make it's readers believe that
democratic friendship for free silver is a
sham and delusion we call attention
to this important news from Washing
ton. First in the headlines Of our con
temporary we learn that the Bland bill
has passed the house. While this is not
true it perhaps indicates that the Jour
nal is anticipating such an event. 1t
will find grounds for this presumption
in the news following which should def
nitely remove all doubts that the Bland
bill will not pass the house. By vote
of two to one 1T was decided to give
three days to the discussion of the bill
and this decision means that the fill
busters must come to halt.
Then the victory must BE- won in the
senate and the White house. To this
end ali Montanians should join heartily
Good work can be done right here at
home. In ten Colorado towns silver
clubs have been organized for the pur-
pose of urging in every way possible the
passage Of the Bland bill. There is no
politics in it and democrats and repub.
llcans alike are standing shoulder to
shoulder in the good work. The same
thing can and should be done III Mon
tana. The citizens of every town il this
state who are Interested in the increased
value of Montana's great native pro-
duct should organize, pass resolutions,
secure petitions and urge our represen-
tatlves at Washington to leave no stone
unturned in their efforts to pass the bill
1t is somewhat discouraging to find
with our esteemed morning contempor-
ary a disposition to sneer at tho bill and
to even make single and most absurd
intmation that it will not help the
interest Of silver. Whom we find sucf
prominent republican representatives IN
favor of the bill as Senators Teller. Vol

policy is disloyal to Montana and mos

BETTER STREETS AND WALKS,

1t is important that the city council
should give early and special attention
to the further improvement of streets,
alleys and sidewalks. This work should
be done not only because it is necessary
among the city's Improvements, but par
ticularly because the city should be made
to appear rs clean and neat and handsome
to visitors who will be with us next
summer as is possible to make it. No
citizen of the town will bsgrudge dol
lar spent in street improvements. On
the west side are prominent resi-
dencs streets with sidewalks that are
disgraceful to property owners ana city
government alike There are other
streets with great gaps where there are
no sidewalks at all. 1t occurs to us
that measures may be taken whereby
property owners can be compelled to
lay good walks in front Of unimproved
land surrounded by handsome resi-
dences. 1t is a matter which should be
traveller as we'll as for the satisfaction Of
all who are proud OF Helena. Street
grading should DO carried on with unu-
sual energy during the spring to the
end that when delegates come to
Helena next summer they will find
our municipal government up to tho
times in the way Of city improvements.
Nothing leaves worse impression on
tho average strangers mind when he
visits city than badly graded and dusty
streets, dangerous sidewalks, poor lights
and other public features. He gathers
his opinion of the enterprise and public
spirit Of its citizens from the appear
ance Of the city.
Helena will receive it's benefits from
the coming conventions in the way Of
advertising. The council and the ct-
zens should join heartily in giving to
the city an appearance which will leave
nothing but good impressions with our
