The Helena independent., 1893-12-19

In our late civil war the readiness
with which our volunteer soldiers
turned their hands to whatever work
had to be done was often commented
upon. The men in the ranks could lay
railroad ties and rails, repair and run
locomotives, construct bridges or do any
other work to facilitate the movement
of an army. Apparently from the re-
port of the secretary of war. no less in
time OF peace is our army composed of
men Of remarkable versatility. There
is hardly trade or craft or profession
that is not represented in the ranks of
our regular soldlery. OF the nearly 10,-
600 men enlisted in the army during the
past year, seven placed themselves on
record as lawyers, three as dentists, two
as chemists, thrty-nine as druggists,
six as newspaper men, eight as civil en-
gineers and surveyors, two each as &C.
tors and artists, four as draughtsmen
and sxty-two ms school teachers. Twen-
ty-six students entered, thirty-nine
statesmen, thirteen photographers and
one doctor. One music teacher and a
piano tuner were accepted and are now
in service; carpenters numbered 2O4;
painters, LOG; cooks, 105; machinists,
LOG; butchers, l04; printers, ninety five
and bakers, ninetyone or eighty-six
who gave no occupation seventy eight
were Indians and eight white men, and
of the 2,240 laborers enlisted thirteen
wero Indians. Farmers mum berod nearly
1,2O0; clerks, 377; farriers, sixteen;
blacksmiths, ninety-six; tenmsters, dri-
vers and coachmen, 37G; horsemen, two;
horse trainers, three; liverymen, two;
Jockeys, two; riding teacher, one, and
hostlers and grooms. ninety-two. The
bookkeepers were tifty-two in number;
stenographers, seven; hotel clerks, three;
typewriters, two, and shipping clerk,
one. There were besides eighty-six
tailors, seyenty-seven miners, seventy
eight BARRIERS, seventy-tive engineers,
seventy four shoemakers and sixty-nine
sailors.

ONE OF the great obstacles in the work
Of the charity organizations in Chicago
is the fact that thousands OF honest, in
duatrious workingmen will not apply
for relief. Rather than suffer in pride
they suffer from hunger, and their
wives and children endure even more.
Helena people charitably disposed,
whether doing good individually or in
organized societies, should keep this
fact in mind and seek out such cases,
employing tact and discretion in reliev-
ing the needy when found. 1t should
be remembered also that the quality OF
charity is twice blessed, it blesses
both recipient and benefaotor. While
Helena is as free from cases of exceed
ing destitution as any town in the coun-
try there is room for the exercise of all
the charity that is likely to be forth
coming. The poor we have always with
us, deserving p or, at that, and blessed
are they who comfort the sick, clothe
the naked and feed the hungry.

THE WEATHER.
FOREST PRESERVATION.

We are glad to note that the Ameri.
Ian Forestry association Is taking ac'
tive measures to secure tho enactment
into law of some Of the recommendations
Of the secretary Of the interior in regard
to forest preservation on the public do
main. The policy Of reserving public
timber lands for forestry purposes was
established by the last administration
but much was left undore by 1T in the
line OF protecting the public against the
undue cutting OF timber by corporations
and their agents. The bill reported
from the house public lands committee,
now pending before congress, is a very
simple measure whose passage is de-
mauded in the interests of the public
welfare. 1t is proposed to secure pro-
lection Of the forests reservation now
comprising nearly 100000 acres by
the employment of the army which has
rendered such efficient service in the
Yellowstone and Yosemite parks. The
secretary Of the interior is empowered
"to make such rules and regulations
and establish such service as will insure
the objects Of such reservations, namely,
to regulate their occupancy, to utilize
the timber of commercial value, and to
preserve the forest cover from destruc-
tion." "....,..
The bill also empowers the secretary
to have cut and to sell timber on nom
reserved lands under the same regula-
tions as made for the forest reservations,
provided "that it shall be first shown
that such cutting will not be injurious
to the public interests" The proceeds
are to form Especial fund to be ex-
pended in the care and management Of
such reservations" that is, making them
self-supporting.
1t has been reported that this bill
does not meet the approval of the
friends Of forest preservation. Such is
not the case. 1t may not go as far as
some OF them wish, but it is so obviously
. step in the right direction that every
body except the timber thieves should
favor it, With the awakening interest
in irrigation that We see all over the arid
regions Of the west this question of pre-
serving our forests becomes of vital i'm
portance. It is an old saying that "the
forest waters the farm" This is as true
Of Montana as any other state, for the
head waters of our streams must be
protected by the natural reservoirs with
which nature has furniF she'd the noun
tains.

TIMELY REMARKS,

Made by Messrs. C. b. nequemin g. Co..
Jewellers, 81 South .llain Street.
/. Ths coming Christmas will be tho
tenth Christmas holiday that Msssrs. G. B.
Jacquemin d Co. are before the people with
their choice stock OF holiday goods a. Jew
elry, silverwa.e. CLOCKS. cut crystal, fancy
goods. pianos, etc.
2. For the past ten years Messrs. c. B.
Jscqusmin d Go. have been exceptionally
successful In their business, and ia spite OF
the severe financial strain and business de.
preston nll over the land, Mess,s, C. b.
Jncquemin q Co. have cause to be thankful,
for their business has continued 10 be as
successful rs the most sanguins could ex-
pect.
j. Owing to the above fact, coupled with
the continued depression in business and
scarcity OF money. Messrs. G. b. Jacoue.
min d Co. feel 1t proper, and al the same
| time pleasure to make II possible for
every one OF their customers to secure q
| handsome present for mother or father
son or dnughter, brother or sister, wife or
husband, or other dear friend or friends.
4. In order to enable all their custo,us sra
| to do the above and exsroite n cherished
desire to give their friend tho usual holiday
memento, Messrs. G. B. Jacquemin d Co.
have decided to sell any of the handsome
p7esents f'om their stock of jewelry, silver
ware opera glasses, fancy a.tlolss, pianos,
etc.. etc, at a re luction OF one-thlrd iom
the regular prices. Don't be astoniahsi at
shls offer but come and convince yourself
of!it.
3. We commence our Christmas sale for
1893 on Monday. Dsc. 18. and continue tho
same till Monday eve, Dec. 26, during
Whlcn time W. will sell at a reduction OF
one-third GGl from our repulnr prices
without rega. q to what goods cost us
.. In view of remarks 2 and 3 We feel We
can we'll afford to do the above, but can an
Ply the same only to cash sales during that
slne; After which we will return to our
regular prices. Our goods are and slwsva
havo been marked in plain figures and hayo
nov been changed for the abov, purpose.

The Benton River Press, as /

The Benton River Press, as usual, is
mistaken. The fact thar we printed a
respectful communication on public
question, over the signature OF writer,
does not imply that We endorse that
writer's sentiments. We frequently
quote from Commodore Power, or the
River Press, but 1t is seldom We approve
the views on public questions Of either
Of them. When it comes to the tariff
question The INDEpENDRNT stands
on the Chicago platform-no
favoritsm, no unnecessary taxation.
The greatest good to the greatest num-
ber.

REPORTS from all the leading towns

REPORTS from all the leading towns
of the state are to the effect that the
trade in Christmas merchandise is un-
expectedly good. This, taken in con-
neotion with the fact that the people Of
the state paid 95 per cent of their taxes
this year, may be accepted as good evil
dence that the financial furry did not
leave any lasting bad effect in Montana.
This state is in the van of the column
marching on to prosperity even greater
than before the panic.

oil elections, was passed against the
wishes Of Mr. Gladstone and his lisutsn-
ants by vote Of 81. Tho third event
may seem trifing, but is, In fact, OF
deeper, longer rooted significance than
the right to vote, voting being mere
parvenu among rights and customs II
is known that the ladies' gallery, as 1t 10
called in the house Of commons, is q
small enclosure surrounded by an iron
grill. In free England the women peer
ing through the grating look like nn
ayiary Of rare-hued birds, or cage Of
attractive-looking animals. This grill
Mr.. Shaw -Lefevre, the commissioner Of
public works, and one Of her majesty's
ministers, has signified his intention Of
removing. The announcement has been
received with even greater interest
throughout the United Kingdom than
the governments first defeat.
