MONTANA AND MONTANANS

Professor Hicks must be of n gloomy
and respondent nature, as his forecasts
for the generally sunny month of June is
a series of storms from beginning to end.
| Water spouts. cloudbursts. tornadoes and
cyclones bris;ling up throughout the en-
tire month and finally ending in a posi-
BILE frost. The Montana people may feel
| perfectly safe, however, as none of these
calamities can possibly reach this para
disical state. Hamilton News.
After tho reception they received at

Review.
From motives of economy the board of
county commissioners have deemed it
best not to appoint fish and game war;
den in this county. No doubt they are
right In tho matter. but IL does seem
pity that game and fish should be slaugh.-
| cred as at present. Reliable reports from
the upper end of the valley 60 to show
that elk and deer are being killed in large
| numbers both by Indians and white men.
| At Como Lake three elk are known to
| have been killed within the last week and
no one can tell how many more were
killed. Along the banks of the river here
a large amount of sawdust may be found,
but il is nobody's business to find out
where ii comes from and the guilty par
| ties 60 unpunished. We would suggest
that anyone knowing of violations of the
game law notify the county authorities,
when steps can be taken to bring the
guilty parties to justice. III the people do
not take an interest III this matter game
in Bitter Root will soon be only recol-
lection.-Ravalli Republican.
The Inter Mountain, on behalf of the
| business mon of Butte, extends cordial
greeting to President James J. Hill of the
Great Northern aud tho distinguished
party of railroad men who accompany
him. Between the shippers of Butte.
both merchants and mining companies,
and the Great Northern, relations have
always been pleasant, and that they will
so continue seems assured. Mr.. Hill is
| the receiver of his own railroad company,
| and with tho confidence born of success
he proposes TO keep q front position in
the railroad world and TO spend his money
| in Montana, where it will do the most
good both for his company and for tho
| state. He cannot help ono without help
| ing the other. As to the reports concern
ing his possible supervision of the North
| ern Pacific affairs we arc not informed.
There is probably nothing in them.
though few extra railroads on his hands
would not cause him TO miss any meals
or lose any sleep.-Butte Inter Mountain.
