A GnEEN GOODS nAMn.

Any enc who has eFsr heard or the
"green goods game-and before the
capital campaign expires many new fea-
lures o; that interesting fake will come
TO lighi-lSuows with what Gvidity tho
victim grasps his package OF greenbacks
and retires to quiet and unobtrusive
quarters TO investigate, only to ind
well.flled package OF sawdust. The
game has been worked so often that we
did not suppose intelligent men could
be deceived But one OF the features OF
the "green goods" system is that it can
always be worked in new way. 1t is
the same old gamo, only with infinite
variations. Perhaps Mr.. DAILY hes a
surplus of sawdus' - the Hamilton
mills, and wants to ., ! homs market
For II. At my rats he is clever man-
ipulator OF the "green goods' system, as
the people OF Missoula county have
found out to their cost.
Section 67S, chapter %, General Laws
OF Montana, relating to railroad corpo-
rations, provides that any persons asso.
ciating together for the purpose Of
forming a railroad corporation shall,
under their hands and seals, make cor
tificate which shall specify "the name Of
the county or counties, and territory or
territories, where the termini Of SAID
road are TO DO located, and the county
or counties, and territory or territories,
through which such road shall pass, and
the general route OF said road"
Under this section Mr.. DAILY, with
four other gentlemen, fled on Sept 80,
1892, just ono month before the last
election, in the Office OF the secretary OF
stnte OF Montana, a certificate as re-
quired by law, giving the following de-
