school Board.
The School Board met Monday,
and suspended all public schools
till February sth, when it will
meet again, and 1t is to be hoped,
reopen them.
All teachers are required in the
interim to send in their warrants
for collection, 30 that they may be
audited and show how the school
fund stands-whether or not the
Board is in debt, or how much
money, if any, is on hand. In
other words, the Board wishes to
take stock and find out ''where it
is at" The Board elected S. j.
Henry Esq, Secretary and parish
Superintendent, vice T. Norwood
Smith, resigned. Mr.. Henry has
held the position before, and gave
general satisfaction, and it is be-
lieved that he will do equally as
well again.
The Board adjourned Monday
evening, and deserves credit for its
dispatch of business.

THE FEELING AT BUTTE.
Speculation on the Effect Upon the
Montana Union.
Especial to The Herald.1

Especial to The E1erald.I
Rutte. Mont, June There is a
ereat deal of speculation among rail
road men in Butte as to how the Mon
tana union will be affected by the
separate recedvership of the Oregon
Short Line and Utah Northern, and
what course that road will pursue.
General Manager Burns has received
no instructions in the matter and ne
processes to be entirely at sea IN re-
gard to future development although
he expresses the belief that his road
Will not be affected. Other well
posted railroad men, however, are IN
clined to look at the matter in a
different light. The Union Pacific
owns so per cent of the Montana Union
stock and has the control of the road
and it is entirely possible THAT the re-
ceivers will not ALLOW the Utah North
ern ITO use their line into Butte but
compel them to stop their trains at
Silver Bow which is the terminus of
the Utah Northern and six miles from
Butte. Injunction proceedings to
restrain the Union Pacific receivers
from interfering with the running of
Utah Northern trains into Butte it is
expected will follow, although II is
luthoritatively stated this evening
that if Egan is appointed separate re-
,eiver application will be made in the
United States court in Butte to have
him also appointed receiver for the
Montana Union in order to preserve
harmony.

quarters as a result Of the continual
cropping off of lines of the great sys-
tenn, is very morbid. The Short Line
has been about given up by those who
are familiar with the status of the
case. The divorce of the Short Line
will mean a big reduction in the shop
and headquarters forse in this city,
but just to what extent will be I'M
known until the books are balanced
and the transfer is made. The prob
able separation has produced conSter-
nation among the Union Pacific people
md further dismembernent is looked
for, as this divorce business has be
come an epidemic, the Kansas Pacific
'etween Kansas City ana Denver, and
the Denver Pacific between Denver
md Cheyenne, ard the 81. Joseph &nd
Grand Island are in danger of catch
ng the same disease that has af-
fected the Short Line and Gulf and
Oregon lines. Just where this will all
md is as unknown TO the Union Fa-
cific receivers as is the topography of
Mars. 1t is believed that while the
reduction in the shops ana headquar-
ters of the Union Pacific will be
heavy as a result of the Short Line
divorce that most of the men will
find employment in the west with the
road. The telegraphlc announcement
from Salt Lake that the Union Pa
cific would build from Ogden to Salt
Lake is given credence in this city
among we'll posted railroad ilen. The
volume of the business is of TOO much
magnitude in Salt Lake to be ever
looked by the Union Pacific.

The railway officers are the quietesr

all awaiting the result of the receiver

topic discussed.

PUT THE BLAME ELSEWHERE.
The Tribune's Unjust Reflection
Upon Fish Commissioner Heath.

Upon Fish Commissioner Heath.
The Tribune yesterday published
somewhat sensational account of the
way in which the trout in Big Cot
tonwood creek are not protected, and
telling how many of the speckled
beauties were carried off by irrigating
bitches into lucerne fields to die. EX-
cept that the facts were exaggerated
somewhat, the only objectionable fea-
ture in the article is that the fish and
game commissioner, Horace Heath, is
blamed for the condition of affairs de-
Scribed. AS a matter of fact, Mr..
Heath has been working tirelessly to
do away with the evils complained of;
has taken the members of the county
court out to the stream in order 10
convince them of the necessity for
screens, and has made every effort to
interest sportsmen in the subject and
secure their cooperation. 1t was at his
suggestion that Judge Grant II. Smith,
upon whose information the Tribune
article is based, made his trip of in
spection. Instead of blaming Mr..
Heath he is to be commended for
what he has done to preserve the fish,
spending his own money for that pur-
pose. And it may be well to remark
that it i 10 part of the commission
er's duty 10 attend to these matters.
His duty is merely TO see that the
laws in regard TO fish and game are
enforced, but through his interest in
the matter, he has assumed other du-
ties. But the funny part of it all is
that after doing what he has and TAX
ing all this trouble to show the au-
thorities and sportsmen the urgent
need for some provisions for the
preservation of the fish, he should be
singled out as the one who is at
fault.

THE STANFORD ESTATE.
Judge McKiSsick Makes His ArGu-
ment for the Government.


san Francisco, June Judge Nc
KissA special counsel for the govern
rnent inade his argument in the suit
against the Leland Stanford estate to-
day in the United States circuit court.
He endeavored to demonstrate that
the debt which was created under the
act of Congress of 1852, was merely
statute limitation and not a. condition,
as the StnfOrd counsel contended: He
showed that each stockholder is liable
for the debts of the corporation. He
argued that the railroad had entered
into a contract with the government,
and as a result certain liabilities were
created. The railroad had accepted
the land grants and agreed to pay the
bonds on maturity. The government
had exacted the railroads pledge that
1t would maintain the road in good
condition. transport the mails for GER
tain fixed sums and pay into the
treasury of the United States a GER
tain percentage of the dividends in
order TO redeem the bonds when they
aatured. Counsel argued that Con-
gress had imposed a personal liability.
The government was not dealing with
an inanimate body like a. corporation,
but With the stockholders themselves.
