The plan is worth trying.-Missoulian
on the DAILY ranches at Hamilton
there is a creamery i'm course OF con-
struction which will have a capacity
of 500 pounds of butter a day. The pat
ronage of home industries is a saving
doctrine which gains more supporters
every day in Montana.-Helena lnde-
pendent.
1t will be seen, therefore. from these
incomplete and rough calculations,
that the expense of county govern
ments in Montana i'm 1894 reached the
astonishing amount of some S2,6OO,OOO;
and that the cost of state and county
governments together would run the
exhibit close up to the three million
dollar mark. One of our contemporary
les recently remarked that our public
affairs were being run under too high
pressure. and figures seem TO prove the
truth of the allegation: i'm fact. the
pressure seems to be increasing all the
time. and the limit cannot be far dis
tant. 1t is apparent that expenditures,
already of alarming proportions, are
constantly growing, and methods must
soon be devised by which they can be
kept within reasonable limits. The
main defect in our form of county gov
eminent seems to be its privileges IN
the direction of mourning indebtedness;
there is a temptation to extravaganza
which few can resist, but which could
not be INDUCED in If expenditures had
to be made under a system of cash-pay-
ments. The affairs of our school dis
tricts are conducted under regulations
which prohibit the trustees from max
ing expenditures which exceed their
cash assets. and a similar restriction
upon the general conduct of county af-
fairs would appear to be a necessary
innovation.-River Press.
II ]. ]. Hill carries out his plan to
establish a great steel plant at Great
Falls. may we not expect the great iron
ore deposits near Choteau will be de-
veloped and made valuable? Surely
the resources of Teton county are not
TO be eXcelled by any county in the
state.-Choteau Montanian.
The Anaconda Standard is bound to
keep the lead as Montana's greatest
and most enterprising daily. Last sun
day it published a sixteen-page, seven
favorably with similar publications OF
the metropolitan press, and the an
nouncement has been made that its
regular weekday editions will hence
forth be permanently enlarged and APP
pear in the seven-column quarto form.
Although the youngest Of Montana's
leading daily papers, the Standard is
to-day in the front rank of Montana's
journalism. Its state service, covering
every point regardless of expense, Is
unsurpassed by any competitor. The
editorial management is unusually cap
able and strong and adds materially
to the great popularity which the
Standard enjoys.-Dillon Examiner.
The judges in the several judicial
| districts of Montana will probably sus-
pend court proceedings for few
weeks after the codes go into effect.
So many changes have been made in
| the laws that n careful study of the
situation is necessary. A correct in
depreciation of the law by it's execu-
| tive officers is desired, and the judic-
larry will fully acquaint itself with the
new conditions before attempting to
| act under them.-River Press.
The Helena papers laugh at the idea
| that ]. ]. Hill will have control of the
Northern Pacific, road. With the peo-
pie of the capital the wish is father
to the thought. If that road passes
| out of the control of Mr.. Cakes, Hell
ena will lose a powerful friend and
| ally.-Great Falls Tribune.
The trade of Montana, contrary to
the general expectation, makes the best
showing of any state in the Union.-
Chicago Tribune.
The great American game of poker
has been given a new impetus by the
introduction of a pack containing &c
cards. thus charging the sociability
| and possibilities of the popular pas
time. And this happens just as the an

islature goes into cffect.-River Press
The Anaconda Standard has increas
ed it's size to seven columns TO the
page, and will continue TO be, as Il
has been. among the best newspaper:
