people have access to 1t, 1t would become
an educator Of all that is highest and
best in the nature of man. As 1t u now
the park is open to tourists only three or
four months in year. During thh sea-
son the number of visitors amour nts to
about twenty per day. The expense for
single person will run from $40 to 800
per day, according to bis inclinations
and tastes. 1t can only be reached by
circuitous routes Of travel-from the
north in Montana and from the west
in Idaho, and then over difficult mount
ain roads in stage coaches. With proper
facilities for reaching the park at q rea-
sonable expense, do not hesitate to say
the people of this country would bs de-.
lighted to visit it, and the visitors would
number thousands daily, instead OF
twenty or twenty-five per day.
"The park contains, with the timber
reserve, $3.50 square miles. A railroad
going through the valleys and forests Of
the park would be lost to sight nearly the
entire distance and would only be noticed
for few hundred yards in the vicinity
of stations. 1t would be like single
thread of silk in a carpet. The small
area occupied by a roadbed would be
infinitesmal compared to the vast region
it penetrates, a region larger than the
state Of Connecticut and bigger than
many European principalities

We again congratulate the people of
Great Falls upon the settlement Of the
strike difficulties on the Great Northern
railway. AS our special from st. Paul
indicates the settlement was the result
of arbitration and is undoubtedly salts
factory to both parties. We believe ar
bitration is the proper method Of settling
all such labor difficulties, and that the
time is not far distant when the laws Of
the land will require employer and en-
ployes to settle their differences in this
way.
We desire to thank the large number
of strikers who reside in Great Falls or
who make this their headquarters for
the quiet and orderly manner in which
they have conducted themselves since
the 18th Of April.
We hope it will be long time before
we shall have occasion to announce an
other strike in the state of Montana.

Korean Use For Human Hair.

Human hair is in great demand in
some Of the countries Of Europe, and the
supply is said to be inadequate. Our
consul in Korea points out that there is
plenty and to spare in the Hermit King
dom. 1.-The Koreans" he adds, shave
remarkably fine heads of hair, and they
put their 'combings' to use that have
never seen elsewhere. A very large
number Of the saddlecloths placed under
the packs of their ponies are made Of
hair woven into coarse mats or bags, and
the hslters and head ropes Of their ami
mails are largely composed of the same
material. l believe that human hair is
largely exported from China to Europe.
and Korea could furnish a large and
cheap supply did the people know there
there was q demand for it," Here's a
chance for some pioneer of commerce.

North Colorado and parts of Wyoming
and Montana are genuine mines of pet
rifactions. There are petrifactions of
every kind, including many varieties Of
wood, ferns and plants, fish, toads,
snails, frogs, serpents, shellfish and OBJ
jects which cannot be classified. The
deposits often occur in layers, as though
some great natural convulsion had de-
stroyed the animal life of a whole dis
trict at once. The scientists make very
few and tolerably weak attempts to ex.
plain the singular phenomenon, and the
fact Is evident that they know no more
about the matter than do the menswho
pick out the best specimens and sell
them to tourists. Chicago Herald.

Our Manufacturing Industries.

The most important manufacturing
interest in the United States is the tex
tile industry. The capital invested in
the spinning and weaving of cotton,
woolen and silk goods amounts to over
$5OO, ,0OO, 900. Three-fourths of this cap
ital is invested in the manufacture Of
cotton goods.
Next in value to the textile fabric in
dustry comes the lumber and sawmill
business. 1t alone absorbs $496, ,839, ,968
Of capital and employs nearly 800, 900
men. The industry whose annual prod.
ucts are most valuable is iron and steel
manufacture, which turns out annually
$568, 1854, ,348 worth of goods. Closely
following it, however, is the meat slaugh-
tering and packing industry, with $581. :
Oil .68s. Twenty-Five industries produce
over $1O0, ,OO0, 900 worth Of goods every
year.
One would naturally suppose that
whisky making would be somewhere
near the head Of the list, but it is at the
bottom, with product Of $104, 1877 800
It is to be remembered, though, that beer
making and whisky making are classei
in the census report as separate indus
tries. Beer alone to the amount Of $1S2,
| 781, ,822 is made in this country every
year. If we add the value of the beef
and whisky products together, the tw'
united will stand No. 9 in the list Of tn
great manufacturing industries Of tn,
United States. ~

II was snowbound in Michigan few
years ago, between Coopersville and
Nunica, said travelling salesman. 1.-THE
snow was four feet deep on level and
still falling. The passengers had eaten
up everything the train boy had includ-
ing even mixed candies, and children
were crying for food. A grocery sales
man offered his samples of tea and cof-
fee, and these were boiled at the engine.
Then l started, accompanied by another
passenger, to go to farmhouse to get
some bread and butter. We waded
through the snow, an by the time we
got there were nearly frozen, but we
could detect the odor of cooking victuals
and felt that our mission would be sue
cessful
"In answer to our knock a woman
came to the door and fatty refused to
let us have bread ut any price. Five
large loaves, just baked, we're on q ta-

my friend to go to the front door and ar

bread and butter. had not gone far be-
fore l could hear the farmer behind
swearing at me. Then came q race
through the snow. Twice I fell down
and soaked the bread in the snow, but l
hung on to 1t and reached the train at
the same time the farmer did. There a
hundred passengers were ready to help
me, and we had one square meal. Ihad
offered 81 loaf for the bread and start

Tuesday the glad tidings were wired
from st. Paul that the strike on the
Great Northern had been peacefully and
amicably settled to the satisfaction OF
the railway officials and the committee
of the American Railway union.
The strike was declared on at II
o'clock noon Friday, April 13, since
which date not a wheel has turned on
the Montana Central or in the yards in
this city, in fact it was complete tle-up
from st. Paul to the coast.
The stoppage of the trains compelled
the almost general suspension of work
in the smelters for want of coal. The
Sand Coulee and Belt coal mines had to
suspend operations for want Of cars to
haul the coal away, and in short every
industry and business in the city was
almost at standstill.
Now that the strike has been declared
off business and industrial activity will
be at once resumed, and in short time
the effects Of the strike will be lost sight
OF in the march of industrial progress in
Great Falls.
During the strike there was no feeling
Of animosity displayed, as is generally
the case in strikes, but everybody was
good natured and hoping for the best to
the satisfaction of all.
Let everybody today buckle Cd the
armonr of Faith, Hope and Charity
forget the short comings of the past and
go to work as Of yore, looking only to
the comfort and we'll doing Of. each and
every one. Let US all shake hands and
rejoice.

THE HANKS CASE.
Jere B. Leslie Makes the Opening
Statement for the Prosecution
to the Jury.
George A. Wells, Ex-Cashier of the
Merchants National Bank the
First Witness.
The Counsel for the Defense Oh.
ject to Almost Every
thing.

HELENA, May l.-fSpecial to The
TRIBUNE l-Jere B. Leslie of Great Falls
made the opening statement for the
prosecution in the Will Hanks trial to-
day. He began by reading the indict-
ment charging Hanks with drawing out
and permitting to be drawn out &c.
76S.25 on account of w. H. Burgess &
Co. The indictment under which the
present trial is proceeding specifies va
rious checks, notes, and overdrafts going
to make up the amounts. Mr.. Leslie
said the prosecution would show that
Hanks was president of the Merchants
National bank Of Great Falls from the
time Of it's organization until seven days
before the bank failed; that on July 8,
1892, Hanks and w. H. Burgess bonded
the Maginnis mine. and that the firm
afterward became indebted to the bank
for the amount named without cent to
their credit and no security; that it was
done for the purpose Of defrauding the
bank. The prosecution would further
show that in addition to the indebted
ness of w. II. Burgess & Co. there were
others aggregating altogether over $6l,-
900. Further, it would be proved that
as his notes were renewed no interest
was added. As showing the financial
condition Of Hanks when he began get
ting money from the bank, it would be
proved that he borrowed $4,000 with
which to pay for 12O shares of stock he
had when the bank started.
The defense made no opening state
ment.
George A. Wells, cashier until Sept.
1891, was the only witness on the stand.
He was there all the afternoon identity
ing papers to be used as evidence in the
case. Most Of the papers were merely
identified for the purpose of proving
signatures to notes, and were not read to
the jury as yet. The defense objected to
pretty much everything and took ex-
ception when objection was overruled.
The minute book of the directors was
read to show that the directors never
authorized any Of the acts charged in
the indictment. A letter from Hanks
written July 10, 1893, was identified and
read, resigning his position as president
"For reasons unmentionable" The
witness was asked why he resigned Is
cashier, and replied that 1t was primar-
lily because his notions of management
did not coincide with those OF Hanks.
He was asked what were Hanks ideas,
but Judge Knowles wouldn't allow him
to tell: Whom the examination of Wells
was over with, Burgess was called. He
could not be found, and as the prosecu-
ton desired to make him the next wit
ness the court adjourned till tomorrow.
Burgess was in court this forenoon, but
counsel for defense state that he was
taken sick.

Kansas and .NeW York.

Some time since the New York Even.
Ing Post made this editorial remark:
1--WE do not want any more states till we
can civilize Kansas" This unkind say
ing arouses the ire of Mr.. j. w. Gleed,
. citizen of the fair Grasshopper STATE.
and he comes back at The Post hand
somely in The Forum in q paper enti-
tied "Is New York More Civilized Than
Kansas?"
He consults statistics and clinches his
statements with figures and comes out
triumphantly in the showing that New
York cannot begin to stand alongside
Kansas in the contest for real true blue
civilization with no nonsense about it.
Only one institution Of Kansas Mr..
Gleed is disposed to apologize for, and
that is the Populist party. But he tells
rs the "many conscientious and thought
full adherents" Of that new party have
seen the error of their ways, statement
which is hereby referred to members of
the Populist party in Kansas for COM
ment. "The Populists are and always
have been in the minority" writes Mr..
Gleed, which reminds one of the famous
defense, ut was such very little one" !"
The writer recalls to his readers the fact
that the election Of Mr.. PETER was one
Of the few senatorial elections in the
country that were absolutely free from
bribery. Before PETER was elected SEN
stor he gave no money and promised no
offices.
New York has four times the popula-
tion Of Kansas. With this she has 20
times as many paupers and 1850 fewer
miles of railroad. With four times the
population New York has nearly nine
times as many convicts in the peniten-
tiaries. In Kansas four-fifths of all
children between 1s and Z years of age
are enrolled in the schools-in New York
city less than one-half. All the same,
no cat without collar is allowed to run
at large in any city in New York, and
we venture to say that Kansas has never
yet passed cat collar law. Against
that fact what does it matter that Kan
sas spends more money proportionally
on her public schools than New York
does?
In the following paragraph Mr.. Gleed
strikes out from the shoulder:
Society in Kansas no doubt lacks ritual and
regalia. Mr.. Astor, formerly Of New York,
has moved to London, bought q newspaper
and baited his hook for q peerage or Its equiv
alent. He has abandoned his native country.
There is no complaint about this. But Mr..
Astor speaks slightingy of Chicago because
maids instead Of men answer the doorbells
there. What would Mr.. Astor say of Kansas?
There great many refined, cultivated, intel
ngent ladies, heads Of households, answer their
own doorbells, as did Mr.. Astor's grandmother
no doubt IL she had doorbell. In New York
there are thousands of coachmen and footmen
and housemaids and buffers, all clad in livery
to distinguish them from their superiors. In
Kansas they neither uniform the domestics,
tip the walters nor amputate the horses tails.

The Land of Wonders.

A bill has been introduced in con-
gress to encourage and establish better
facilities for travel into and through the
Yellowstone National park. Its purpose
is to enable persons Of small means to
see and enjoy the wonders of this won
derful place. II this bill becomes law,
and 1t is likely it will, but a small out
lay will be necessary to cover the same
ground and see the same sights that now
requires a small fortune. The provis-
ions of the measure are briefly summar-
lied as follows:
First t--Granting one common right of
way 200 feet wide through the park for
the general use Of any and all railroads,
subject to the conditions OF the bill and
to the control, restrictions and regula-
tions of the government.
Second-The railroad first building
under the conditions prescribed shall
have the primary privilege to build and
operate it's line under the regulations Of
the secretary Of the interior, subject to
the express provision that any other rail-
road company may connect with and use
such common right Of way, touching
either terminus, under regulations es-
tablished by the secretary.
Third-parties using such right Of
way shall pay annually to the secretary
Of the interior three per cent of their
gross earnings within the park, such
fund to be applied to the maintenance Of
the park and the preservation of the
game and natural wonders.
Fourth-For depot, hotel, and camp
ing purposes it is provided that grounds
may be selected consisting Of tracts not
less than twenty nor more than forty
acres each, and not exceeding ten such
locations within the park and adjoining
timber reservation limits, none to be
nearer than one-fourth mile tol any rec
ognized natural wonder.
