by q national observance which should
rest upon a voluntary basis of genuine

In Its suggestion of this new obssrv.
ance the organization which first pro-
posed it has placed the country under
real obligations. That organization,
with its cumbersome name and some
what awkward insistencs upon genea-
logical distinctions, does not mset with
unqualified favor among all classes Of
our citizenship. There are those who
view in 1t q good idea gone to seed.
But it must be admitted that if it errs
Mt all. it errs upon the right side in in
sisting upon increased patriotism and
in teaching lofty ideals Of civic duty
and civic responsibilities. In an age
when many Americans hold their
birthright lightly it is necessary to
have vigorous agitation toward patri-
otto ends. Flag Day would DO one Of
the most hopeful and also one OF the
most appropriate of these methods.

Representative Erdman. lof this state,
sitter consultation with many fellow
members Of congress, has devised an
interesting plan to reform the civil SER
vice. Its fundamental principle is the
equal division of patronage between
the two leading political parties and
the equal distribution of that patron
age in o geographical sense. His meas
ure has been favorably considered in
committee and will undoubtedly at no
distant day come up for animated dis
cussiou. The bill rs it now stands,
after authorizing the appointment of
a bipartisan civil service commission
Of four, directs these commissioners:
After all male applicants have qualified
at the examinations, to arrange them into
two classes, according to the two political
parties casting the highest vote at the last

passage of the act the heads OF the various
federal departments are required to as

and employees in their respective depart

affiliated with. They are required to fill
out and answer under oath appropriate
blank forms. Within six months after the
passage of the act it is made the duty Of
the heads Of each of tho federal depart

Flag Day.

The effort Of the Pennsylvania Soci-

set apart June IA as an annual holiday
to be known as Flag Day, in remem.

its memorable resolution selecting

Sons OF the Revolution. But what is

hesrty\approval of American citizens
everywhere, native and naturalized and

mental, If not legal, place in the cata.
logue of u national anniversaries.
It Is proposed to observe Flag Day
by the display Of the American flag
from every home in the land. Such a
suggestion is obviously appropriate and
cannot to objected to. There should
be no home in America where the
American flag is not welcome and
where its display on the anniversary
OF its adoption would not be made
willingly and with cheerfulness. At
the Same time. it is not necessary to
make another legal holiday, coupled
with the interruption Of ordinary bust.

JUNGLE DICK" GETS IT
THE PRESIDENT NoMINATEs R. II.
kENNON TO BE POSTMASTER.

Good News for the Friends of the College
OF Montana-The Eyans-Crutchfield
Wedding Last Welnesday-Late Quota
tions on Montana Wool
Private advices were received from
Washington, Wednesday evening, that
the president had sent to the senate.
among other nominations, that Of r. T.
kennon to be postmaster at Deer Lodre.
The press dispatches in the daily papers
OF Thursday confirmed the report and
the gentleman has since been the recip-
lent of hearty congratulations from his
many friends.
At the outset of the Cleveland admin
istration number Of candidates for the
postmastership developed, and, for a
time, an active canvass for endorsements
was made by the partisans of each. By
common consent, however, it was con
ceded, in view of the fact that Lew
Coleman's term as postmaster would
naturally expire this summer, that no
one would attempt to succeed him before
that time
"Cncle Dick" Kennon was early in the
field as a candidate for the place. and
from the outset a large proportion of the
old-line Democracy were confident he
had the call. The result has confirmed
their confidence. Mr. Kennon was able
to command the endorsement of many
Montanians known in Washington. with
the result that his appointment goes to
the senate for confirmation several weeks
before anybody was expecting it.
MIR. Coleman, who has given to the
ONCE close personal attention and busi-
ness experience far in excess of its emol-
uments, is anxious to retire and will en-
deavor to turn the office over to his
successor at the close of the month,
which, happily for his convenience in
making out his official reports, is also
the end Of quarter.

central and southeastern parts of the
state. In these sections prospecting has
OF late been more active than in the older
districts in the western part of the state.
A prospect is not mine; it is just as

The Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining
company of Douglas Island, Alaska, has
recently declared bonus dividend of Is

we'll mine originally cost the man after

has been spent developing the mine;
100000 was spent experimenting with
chloriuation. About 600 tons of ore is
mllled daily, at an average cost of $1.25
a ton. The ore averages in value three
dollars ton. The company is said to
have refused $16,000,000 for the mine.

Concerning the COllege.

Following the graduating exercises of
the College Of Montana last week, there
was meeting Of the board OF trustees at
which directors for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: DIR. G. G. Swal-
low, Rev. james Reid, f. L. Bonner,
Ferd kennett and J. G. Robinson.
A deficit in the revenues Of the college
Tor the past year was reported and nearly
the whole amount was promptly sub
scribed by those present and by citizens
who were subsequently apprised of the
condition of the institutions finances.
1t is gratifying to know that an effort is
being made, and with every assurance of
success, TO place the college on better
financial footing than it has ever been
before. This effort is being actively for
warded by Mr.. G. Y. Larrabee, whose
previous liberality in this direction is
we'll known. Details of the work cannot
be given at this time, but THE New
NORTHWEST hopes to be able to make
complete report by next week. Enough
is known, however, to warrant the assur-
ance that this popular educational insti-
tuition will not be allowed to suffer for
lack Of funds, but will be enabled to con-
tinue its benifcent career on the broad
and liberal lines that has characterized

This Season Il Most Excellent One for
Herds and Flocks.
1t has been good many years since
the cattlemen of Montana have felt so
buoyant as they do at this writing. Stock
in nearly every section of the State win
tered we'll and the range is everywhere
good, and it does not seem that it is pos
sible that anything can occur to prevent
d fine crop of beef and fairly good prices.
There are large number Of steers and a
great many spayed cows on our ranges,
and with good grass, which is fully as
sured, they will go into market early and
in better condition than Montana beef
has been in any shipping season for a
half dozen or more years. 1t is very true
that the beef market is not strong, but
there is no Indication of its growing
weaker or lower, and if present prices
are maintained and our cattle fatten as
we think they will, the cattle industry
will reap rich harvest and be we'll on
its feet despite the depression. We also
have great hopes Of good mutton mar
ket and plenty Of fat sheep to send for
ward before the snow flies. = Rocky

The Deer Lodge Primary.

The Populist primary in this city last
Saturday developed something of a fac
tional fight, but without engendering any
lasting ill-feeling. There were 154 votes
polled, resulting in the election Of dele.
gates and alternates as follows: Dele
gates-J. G. Shaubut, w. n. Aylesworth,
j. W. Nelson, R. D. Spurrier, Nath New
man. Alternates-J. P. Dunseth, Dr.,
Geo. c. Douglas, j. Y. Batterton, DR.. A.
Fl. Mitchell, j. n. Fox. The claim has
been made, in an effort, perhaps, to man
Ufacture political capital, that many of
those who cast votes at the primaries are
either Democrats or Republicans. 1t is
not within the province of THE New
NoRTI1wEsT to sit in judgment on a
question of this nature. Many men will
vote the Populist ticket this election who
never voted it before, and this paper is
not disposed to question the motives of
those who voted at Saturdays primary.
1t takes it for granted that none but
Populists took part in that contest. II
there were others, it will be in order for
some interested person to challenge them
when they attempt to vote at the Repub-
lican and Democratic primaries.

the basket picnic given by Fidelity Lod ge
|. Q. 0. f. Of Butte in this city, last We'd
nesday, one Of the most successful and
enjoyable affairs Of the kind that ever
occurred here.
The excursion train, consisting Of
seventeen coaches loaded to the guards,
reached the depot about 1 a. m. The
local Odd Fellows in a body awaited the
visiting brethren, and joined them as
quickly as line could be formed, in their
march to Pavilion Park, headed by the
Union band of Butte The crowd with
no attempt at maintaining an order of
march quickly followed and, arrived at
the grounds, gave itself over to an in
formal and social good time. Later,
Mayor Brazelton in a short address well
coined the visitors and gave them the
freedom of the city. Happy responses
were made, after which the pavilion was
given over to the dancers for the balance
of the day.
1t was we'll along towards s O'clock in
the evening before the visitors, well laden
with flowers and loud in their praise Of
Deer Lodge hospitality, started on their
return trip.

Something of Il Snake Story.

Here is a pretty tough snake story from
the Neihart Herald:
"Nine years ago Sam Yarnell of Cas-
cade county captured a rattlesnake, and
put the reptile into an vir-tight glass wine
jug. The snake lived without food,
water or air, and was as lively after nine
years Of captivity as it was the day it was
put in the jug. Two weeks ago Yarnell's
little son was teasing the snake by tap
ping on the Jug and playing other boyish
pranks, when he accidentally broke the
jug. The farmer ran to his sons rescue,
expecting that the boy would be bitten
by the reptile, but rs soon as the air
struck him his snakeship collapsed, fell
together as if he was a sausage covering,
and crumbled like burnt paper. The
wind blew the remains away like ashes,
until nothing was left.

Evans were married at the home of the
brides mother in this city, Wednesday
morning, at o'clock, Elder A. B. Nc

forming the ceremony. a considerable

breakfast, Mr.. and Mrs Crutchfield took
the :35 train for Butte and a short we'd
ding trip to various points of interest in
the State. Mr.. Crutchfield is one of the
employees at the penitentiary and thor
oughly capable young man. His bride
is one of Montana's fairest daughters in
the striciest sense of the term, for she is
native Montanian. A wide circle of
friends join THE New NORTHWEST in
extending the happy pair the sincerest
congratulations coupled with the hope
that their married life will be long, pros
porous and happy.

next Monday. Present indications are
that there will be complete representa-
tion, and local Populists anticipate
lively and interesting convention. The
nominations to be made are for repre-
sentative in congress and for an associate
justice Of the state supreme court. 1t is
conceded that Judge Reeves, of Missoula,
will be nominated for the latter place
without formidable opposition. A half
dozen or more good men have been men
toned in connection with the nomination
for representative and lively fight will
probably result.
