italian Women Take a Prominent Part.

For the first time in the history of the
kingdom of Italy women have contrib
uted to the national representation at an
exhibition. With the queen herself as
president of the committee, the women
have gone into their share of the under
taking with zeal that has surprised the
officials of the national womans board
and have sent an interesting exhibit to
the fair under the Countess di Brazza,
the chief feature of which will be the old
historical laces belonging partly to the
queen and partly to the government.

ADi.tinguished Frenchwoman.

Sorosis entertained at her May day
festival in New York a distinguished
French lady, Nine. Isabelle Bogelet, the
only woman sent officially by the French
nation to the Columbian exhibition, the
only member of Nine Carnot's commit
tee delegated to the congress of repre-
sentative women at Chicago. And this
distinguished guest, sitting at theright of
the president of .Sorosis beside the long
table, with its great silver flowing cup"
overhowing with May roses, said very
graceful things in French about the wo-
men of America, to which Mrs. Lozier
responded in the same language with
equally gracious compliments to the wo-
men of France.
What seemed to impress Nine. Bogelot
most were the elegance and cleverness OF
our women, among whom she felt quite
at home because of their resemblance to
the French in address and apparel. She
said that in no other country but Amer
lea could women combine in clubs to
take up the work of reform and progress

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi
son or Bell; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, but the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents.on all his marvellous inven-
lions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who CON-
ceived the idea of fastning bit of rubber
cord to childs ball, go that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is a miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fiftycyears, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at tho Othar and

Pretty Girls In Chicago.

The young girls who are to supervise
the candy, soda water, cigar and ice
cream sales at the Chicago fair must as
a condition of employment purchase sea-
son tickets, upon each one of which is
photographed the portrait of the holder.
The jackson park photographer who
took the portraits is quoted as saying,

day." A majority of the girls, he omit

The Time to Drive AWAY Moths.

Moths begin to fly about in the spring,
and as it is then they lay their eggs it is
then they require most watching. The
damage is not done by the moth, but by
the grubs proceeding from the eggs
which the moth lays in the spring. The
great and most efficient remedy against
these pests is cleanliness. Dust and dirt
encourage them, and once they are fairly
nested in it is a work of time and labor
to get rid of them. Everything put
away should be carefully examined, both
to see that it is free from any trace of
insect and also that it is scrupulously
clean. Anything put away stained is all
but sure to fall victim to moth. In

coNsoLIpATION THE THING.

1t is to be hoped that u Legislators
in locating state institutions will not
consider it an obligation to parcel them
out to various towns or cities on the
score of local pride or personal interest.
Several places have already put in a
bid for the agricultural college and
have lobbyists in Helena working in
their interest. 1t has been shown by
IN expression of views by the ablest
educators in the land that it would be
u fatal mistake to scatter our ednca.
tional institutions about the state to
crafty the greed of real estate boomers
and to build up towns that have not
sufficient natural to keep
them alive.
Now is the time to make no mistake,
and it is almost the universal opinion
that consolidation of our colleges al
one place would bring about the besl
results, while the cost of maintaining
them would be far less. 1t is true thai
these colleges should be located con
veniently as regards all parts of the
state and not among drones.
We know of no city better located
or suited to become the educationa
Mecca of Montana, than Great Falls
1t has the push, engergy and liberality
that would prove an inspiration to
our youths. 1t has fine building
sites and will, in a few years, have
am pie railroad facilities from all parts
of the state. 1t is an American city
full of vim and push, and the centre o
the greatest agricultural region in Mon.
tana. Our legislature would make nc
mistake in giving Great Falls the com
bined educational colleges.

L BY .GooDELL.

Representative Goodell has intro
duced a bill to exempt certain hay
from taxation. 1t provides that when
a man has one thousand sheep, for
instance, fifty tons OF hay shall be ex-
empted from taxation, and at that
ratio according to the size ofhis band;
for every head OF cattle taxed, one ton
of hay exempted; for every head OF
horses taxed, one-half ton OF hay ex-
eInpted. As to the merits of the bill
We are not prepared to give an opin-
ion, but we have no doubt it will meet
the approval OF some OF our readers
who find it a hardship to pay taxes
on hay. Yet, as a great portion OF
the hay put up is taken from the
public domain and represents only the
cost OF labor and machinery in secur-
ing it, there is nc reason why it should
not be taxed as well as grain and other
property. As the bill would prove a
relief to many small stock owners
there can be no objection to it from
that source. No doubt Mr.. Goodell
would be pleased to hear fromhiscon-
stituents in this matter.
Mr.. Goodell has also introduced a
bill amending the animal bounty law,
the chief features, of course, being the
increase in the bounty on the various
animals killed. The bill provides for
the following bounties: mountain lion,
So; bear, So; wolf, So; coyote, So;
wild cat, lynx, or bob cat, 81. Seve-
raj other bills OF the same nature have
been introduced, and we havenodoubt
the legislature will evolve a law that
will meet the demands of the stock
growing counties. 1t would seem the
bounties were placed sufficiently high
IN Mr.. Goodell's bill to encourage men
10 engage III "~wolfng'' as an occupa-
ton. We think, however, that coy
otes should be placed on the same
scale as wolves, as regards the bounty.
The mischief done by bears and
mountain lyons is Insignificant com
pared to coyotes, as they are not SO
numerous. But the high bounties on
the former animals may be the means
OF securing the support OF members
from the mountain regions.
Possibly it might be well to give
she county commissioners in stock
counties the power to offer additional
bounties, as the necessity may de-
mand, the expense to be met by a
special tax on cattle and sheep. How
ever, we have faith that a much bet.
ter law than the present will be
enacted.

CATTLE SHIPMENTS IN 1892.
Montana Cattle We're at the Top-The Out
look for 1898.

The total number of beef cattle re.
ceived in the Chicago market in 1892
was 1860, 266, or $4,000 morethan
in 1891, says an exchange. The
largest months run in 1892 was in
September, when 3S5,456 cattle were
thrown upon the market. Montana
and Wyoming cattle marketed at the
top S4.6O, but the Montanas averaged
the best, owing % the. fact that a
great number of Wyomings were
thrown upon the market early and in
poor condition, as a result of the
rustler's a
The heaviest shippers from Mon.
tana were the Home Land and Cattle
company, who marketed about
10000 head of beef cattle during the
four months OF July, August, Septem-
Der and October. Thenumber ofsl.ip-
ments made by the company was
thirty, the first being made on July
Ii, and bringing $3.50 per cwt. Only
n subsequent shipment brought
over 81, and owing to a depressed
market the Home Land shipment OF
October 25 brought bat S2.35.
The lowest prices were on Texas
cattle, and thousands OF steers from
that state sold for from S1.75 to
1925 per cwt. Very few Texans
brought over So during the year.
As yet Chicago dealers are COM
pletely unable to make any prophe-
cies regarding the prices of Montana
cattle next season. During the past
two years tens upon tens ofthousand~
of youngsters have been driven into
Montana from Utah and Idaho, and
all will be ready to go upon the mar
ket next year. Besides over a quar-
ter Of a million OF Texas steers have
been brought to Montana and Dakota
during the past eighteen months, and
many of these will be thrown upon the
market. True. the first shipment OF
Home Land cattle in 1892, bringing
S4.2O, were Montana Texas, but it il
"a question whether the market will
stand firm on good Montana cattle
next year in the face of the enormous
shipments anticipated.
The possible increase in receipts of
sheep, promised under certain condi-
tions of legislation. may also have a
a depressing effect upon the beef mar
ket, but the more sanguinc dealers
nrofess perfect confidence that next
veal the market will be sufficiently ex
banded to consume at good prices all
prime cattle that will be thrown
upon 1t.

The first important bill to pass the
house was that meant to carry out the
constitutional provision against bring
ing armed bodies of men into the state
to quell disturbances. 1t is known AS
the anti Pinkerton bill. II provides
that no sheriff of a country, mayor of a
city, or other person authorized by law
to appoint special deputies, marshals
or policemen, to preserve the peace or
quell disturbance, shall appoint to
those positions any one who has not re-
sided in Montana continuously for one
year, and in the county where such
appointment is made for at least six
months. 1t is made unlawful for any
person OF corporation to import into
the state any persons to act as sheriffs,
deputy marshals or other peace Off
GERS, under a penalty of from one to
three years imprisonment, to which
may be added a fine of from 500 to
$500 aud costs of prosecution. 1t is one
of the bills asked for by the labor
organizations of the state. 1t should
become a law. Local and state
authorities are adequate to preserve
the peace of this state. We want no
Pinkertons.

WATER coNNIssIoN.

A bill introduced into the house Gre
ating a water commission, would better
bear the title, "a bill To create offices
for hungry office Nseekers," as it
provides for two departments, with two
CO mmissioners, at a salary each Of
$4,000 per year, and AN attorney and
secretary for each commission. A
chief engineer for each will lie a neces
sary sequence, and every canal projec
will need its W engineer and his nee
essary assistants. These officials will
call for a salary list of S50,UO0 Ia S75.-
600, and each canal after completion
will call for a superintendent and neces-
sary assistants.
Each commission ca submit to vote
for the first two years n proposition for
bonds for $500, OOO-S1 ,OOO, 900 for both,
and such sums thereafter as may b.
voted by each district as deemed
necessary. All necessary requirements
for canals or irrigation so far AVE been
met by private and corporate cutter
prise, by the latter in the Gallatin and
Missouri valleys, and from the Dear
born, Sun and Teton rivers, and We
question the advisability of the STATE
taking the matter up wher. there would,
under its supervision aud the larg.
sums of money to be handled, afford
an opportunity for corruption, say
nothing of the influence of so many
officials in elective matters.
The following places are n,entIonedin
the bill to be benefited: Boulder, Bitter
Root, Beaverhead, Deer Lodge, Fiat
head, Gallatin, jefferson, Upper Milk
river, Lower Milk river. Marias, Mus
selshell, Upper Missouri, Central Mis-
souri,, Lower Missouri, Madison, Ruby,
Rosebud, Sun river, Tongue river, Up
per Yellowstone, Central Yellowstone,
Lower Yellowstone. 1t will be seen
that the Judith and Big Spring creek
are not mentioned, the author know
ing probably that their waters, except
during a flood, are now SO far appru-
priated Ms to render any large canal
system of no avail. The query then
presents itself: why should Fergus
county with no chance of benefit vote
to be taxed for canal systems To bene-
fit others?
This scheme would prove a gigantic
undertaking on the part Of the state
and become a heavy tax on the people,
many of whom would derive but lit
tie benefit therefrom. While there is a
question rs to v neither irrigation should
be promoted by the state, individual
enterprise or corporate power, We
would certainly prefer the latter, if
checked ami limited by strict laws,
without something more simple than
the proposed law can be devised. 1t is
we'll known hat there is not the strict
economy, close personal attention and
shrewd management attached to any
public undertaking as there is to cor
porate or individual enterprises. AS
long as the people have to foot the
bills, and the draft is made on the
state treasury, officials are apt to be
generous and liberal. Montana should
start out cautiously on this irrigation
problem and not saddle an enormous
debt on the people all at once.
