The Canadian papers are recall
ing a story which the late B shop
Medley, the Metropolitan of Cana
da, never tired of telling. In his
sparcely settled jurisdiction the
roads were in very primitive ron-
dition, rendering the journey from
one backwoods settlement to an
other an unpleas ant, not to say
dangerous, undertaking. The
Bishop, however, made periodical
visits to the most outlying parishes
of his diocese in all seasons and in
the most inclement weather. On
one occasion, violent storm being
in progress, he was compelled to
halt for the night at a log cabin ty
he roadside. A rough but hearty
welcome was accorded him by t e
inhabitants, to whom he was un
known. The man of the HOUSE at
once busted himself with the care
of the horses, while the woman Set
about the preparation of the even
ing meal. AS the Bishop sat CON-
fortably by the fire, his first
thoughts were of his mission to
that lonely neighborhood "My
good woman" said he, ''are there

hesitatingly; "the men did kill

We are under obligations to Rep

copy CT the Helena Herald of the
10Th, from which the following clip
ping is taken:
The House then went into COM
nittee of the whole for the second
time this session, on H. B. No. l,
an act to create the Eleventh Ju-
dicial district and to provide for its
organization, with Collins in the
chair. The bill was read in full
and then Kennedy, author of the
measure, opened the debate by say
ing that the honor of introducing
the first House bill should have fall
len to one more familiar with legis-
lative formalities than he. He
said the Tenth Judicial district as
it now existed extended from the
east to the west boundary lines of
Montana, and consisted of nearly
one>third the area of the entire
state. 1t was rapidly increasing
in population, especially in Teton
aud Flathead counties, and the liti-
CATION was also growing. That
the new district was an absolute
necessity was shown by the memo
rials of the members of the bar of
the two counties. The loss of time
occasioned by the present mode of
travel left important questions OF
litigation unsettled. Prisoners had
been compelled to languish for
months in Jail without having a
chance to prove their known inno-
cence. He asks for the favorable
consideration OF the measure in the
interests of society, law and order

Anderson was opposed to the bill
in the interests OF economy. He
believed the state should be re-di'

so arranged that an extra judge

HOUSE Bill No. l, introduced by

HOUSE Bill No. 1, introduced by
Representative Kennedy of this
county, for the creation Of the
Eleventh Judicial District, has
passed the house. There has been
considerable opposition to- the bill
from members who favor re-dis>

creation of new districts, and to
Mr.. Kennedy great credit is due

through the house. The bill
will be up in the senate for
action early next week, and we
have confidence in Mr.. Flowerree's
ability to secure majority ia favor
of the bill in that body.

ana Judge Henry to be placed IN
charge of Meagher and Fergus as
the Tenth district. Cascade and
Teton should be made one district
under Judge Ben ton, leaving Judge
DuBose to preside over Choteau,
Elathead and Valley counties. He
wanted the bill referred to the ju-
dietary committee with instructions
to draft a measure upon lines as
proposed.
Tallant agreed with the Gallatin
gentleman's economical policy, but
said he was familiar with the case
eadiug up to the attempt to create
a new district. Two years ago
when they were creating new coun-
ties they didn't know to what DIS
trict to attach them. Judge Du-
Bose was young and Jealous and
the result was that they gave him
more than he could do. Litigation
ir his district was increasing and
would continue to do so. 1t was
detrimental to the dealing out of
Justice and loss to the taxpayers.
The bill was most jucicious one.
AS to attaching Teton to Cascade
county for judicial purposes he was
strongly opposed. Cascade county
needed an extra Judge as it was.
Won Tobel, as resident of the
Tenth district, said it was not alto
gether owing to the amounD of
business that demands a new dis
trict as it was the amount OF coun-
try Judge DuBose had to cover
each year to hold four terms OF
court, as required by law, in each
county. He was opposed to being
attached to Meagher. Furgus had
once been portion of that county,
but kind Providence had willed 9

main unattached to the old county

to secure bounty on all sugar
manufactured within the state.
This is move in the right direc-
tion. 1t is highly important that
every industry suitable to our eli
matte conditions should be encour-
aged to obtain foothold here. 1t
is clearly the duty of the legisla-
ture to do everything in its power
to build up our commonwealth.
Our industries should be multiplied
as far practicable. For in diver
sity OF industry state or nation
finds prosperity. Each new scheme
no matter how small, if it is only
practicable, should be carefully
nurtured into fruition. AS the lit
tie rivulets run together and form
the great streams which turns the
wheels of manufacture, and carries
