John A. Balm of the Dry Forks
paid us a visit the other day. Mr..
Balm informs us that he has leased
the sheep belonging to S. L. Pot

Mr. Balm has been in the sheep
business for some years and is
thoroughly competent to manage
and care for the herd.

What more beautiful sight could
be asked for than view of the

mantling the tops of the mountains
and reflecting back the suns rays,
the dark outlines of timber and the
rugged rocks showing clear against
the blue sky, makes picture wor-
thy the brush of an artist, while
the cool, bracing air fills one with
life and energy - if he's up in time
to see and feel it all.

OF Anaconda TO cnUef Gnelr town In
the capital race is true, and it is
also true that it is the right of the
voters to resent the audacity and
rebuke the brazen assumption
which demand a complete surren-
der to the will of a nonresident
corporation. Without discussing
men or assailing the character of
individuals, and with a full appre-
citation of the lengths to which
venal and subsidized press will go
in an attempt to serve its masters
and earn it's hire, the Miner invites
the attention of the voters of Mon
tana to the real ISSUE and urges
them to patriotic and aggressive
action. The location of Mon tana's
permanent seat of government
should not be made on narrow, sell
fish or factional grounds, nor should
the tactics of the street crier, the
ward politician or the itinerant ha
berdasher influence the judgement
of sovereign people. There is
something deeper and more impor-
tant than noise and buster in the
present campaign. The beating
of drums and footing Of horns may
entertain street Arabs and an use
the curious, but they cannot in
fluence men who have solemn duty
to perform. The glare of magic
lanterns, the monkey shines of
amateur minstrels and mecanical
didos of burnt cork humorists or
pcripatetic comedians may be of
value to proprietors of patent nos
trums, but in q matter of great
moment to a people they cannot be
mistaken for argument or accepted
as logical reasons for the removal
of a state capital.
1t is the duty of every voter in
Montana to brush aside all the
petty and frivolous appeals which
have been made to them by inter
ested parties and face the capital
question as sane and sensible be-
ings. Upon the action of the men
of Montana on November depends
to no small degree the welfare and
prosperity of the state. BY their
votes they must say whether the
capital shall remain in a city of di
versifed interests, or be removed
to town which is owned absolute
ly by a corporation that controls
every interest, dictates public SEN
innate and rules with an iron hanC
the destinies of the people. In this
matter the voter is acting not only
for himself, but for his children
He is casting ballot the effects O.
which will be felt by generations
yet unborn. He is giving to pos
terity legacy of veal or woe. HI
must say by his vote whether {
yoke shall be placed upon the
future sovereignty of the state
He is called upon to shoulder {
grave responsibility and perform {
sacred duty. A great wrong Is
being attempted; the rights ant
liberties of the people are at stake
there is but one road for every in
dependent citizen to choose, ant
that leads to the certain and over
whelming defeat of Anaconda.
The Miner has sufficient conf
dence in the honesty and loyalty
of the voters of Montana to believe
that Helena will continue to be the
capital of the state.

The sentiment for Dupuyer is
rapidly gaining ground. All over
this country, from the northern
boundary line to the ripping wa
ters of Sun River, the people are
beginning to see clearly what il
means to them to allow the ring to
run the county and handle its
revenues. The act which created
Teton county, contemplated t,e
appointment Of two justices and
two constables in each township.
The blessed commissioners utterly
refused to appoint cons:ables. This
refusal was made in order that the
sheriff, or )me of his depu ties,
could travel all over the county
and make fees and mileage. Cases
have been tried in justices courts
where the sheriff has saddled upon
the county bill of fifty dollars or
more when, with constable, the
cost of arrest or summons and
subpoena, would be about ten. II
the taxpayers wish a fair and
economical administration of affairs
the ring must be broken up and the
county scat located at Dupuyer.
This is exactly what will be done
at the next election.

cracked and discordant and they do
not all come out together at the
end. The song is as follows:

Why, God bless your sous, gen.
tlemen, Dupuyer has the best show
on earth. 1t is true that she has
not yet secured clown. That is an
omission, however, which is easily
supplied. AS the Andy Condor

The 9Th of next November will
be Dupuyer day. The tidal wave
of public opinion is rapidly rising
and the flood is setting in her di-
rection. The county seat star may
be seen shining brightly in the
northern heavens. In the fall of
the year the goose flies to the south
ward. The white ballots will drop
noiselessly, like the beautiful,
feathery snowflakes, and when the
count is made and the result ans
nounced twill be.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

1t seems to be quite probable
that the north half of Teton county
is not to be recognized, any farther
than is unavoidable, until the seat
of government is moved from Cho-
teau to Dupuyer. The course
which has been pursued, for the
last two years, is not very reassur-
ing to the Taxpayers. A debt of
sixty thousand dollars has been
created, a large portion of which
has been expended to build up an
argument in favor of retaining the
county seat at Choteau. With the
exception of small wooden bridge
across Dupuyer creek, very little
of this n oney has gone to the north.
1t has not been the intention to do
anything for that insignificant por-
tion of the country lying betW cen
Spring creek and the Canadian
line. The citizens of that vast re-
gion are supposed to swim their
rivers in order to pay their taxes.
When the act was passed which
created our county, lobby from
Choteau infested the ante>rOoms of
the Legislature. This gang, or
ring, named the temporary officers
who were to officiate at the tempo
rary county seat. Only one of those
named was receiving his mail north
of Choteau. It will thus be seen
that from the very first the County
of Teton has only been considered
to be an adjunct to that town. At
the coming election the people will
repudiate the doings Of the ring
and take a hand at naming officers
and county seat. When a town
gets notion into it's noddlc that
it can run a county, almost entirely
in its own interest. the voters have
a way of expressing themselves
that is not very satisfactory and
quite exasperatiug to the town in
question.

Of all the candidates, for county
seat honer>, which are in the field,
Dupuyer is the ost centrally To-
Gated and the easiest Of access.
The Quill Driver does not live in
that town and has no axe to grind.
He cannot help but see, howcrer,
as hundreds OF others sec, that it is
by all odds the best place for the
seat of government of our large
and beautiful county. In the mat
ter of mileage for jurors and wit
nesses, who must attend court four
times year, it makes considerable
difference where the county seat is
located, as any one can ascertain
by doing little figuring. Dupu-
yer has daily stage to Blackfoot
on the Great Northern ard one
from Pondera on the Great Falls
and Canada. 1t is, therefore,
reacily reached from any point of
the compass. 1t is a beautiful val
ley and capable of sustaining a
large population. The water is of
the purest and in abundance. Fuel
is plentiful On the one band are
the heavily timbered mountains,
while on the other are the mex
haustible coal mines of Birch creek.
There are few wandering min
strels from Bynum and Choteau
who are now making the grand
tour of the county. They do not
have their faces blacked with burnt
cork, as minstrels usually do, but
they all sing the same song, and to
