Those who favor government own
ership of railroads will not find much
to strengthen their arguments in the
recent report of the condition of the
International Railway of Canada.
This road, up to date, has cost the
Canadian government over $55, DOC, 600
and it has made no returns on the
capital expended. But still worse, it
has steadily run behind, the current
expenditures being almostconstantly
greater than the earnings. Since
1865, when the road first commenced
operations, the deficits have exceeded,
the ~surplusses by more than So, 900 900.
The total surplus for all the years
since 1865 was S424,416, and this sur
plus was earned in eleven years of the
more unsatisfactory showing would
be made were 1t not for the practice
of improperly swelling the capital
stock. Bad management is in evil
dence everywhere, one peculia feature
being the abandonment of rolling
stock when damaged, to avoid re-
pairing bills which would enlarge
the deficit. All new materials pur-
chased could be added % the capital
account and in that manner the
deficit would in a be con-
cealed. The experience of Canada in
operating this line, which is LOO
miles long, is a pretty fair example
of what might be expected in this
country under government owner
ship and management.

The employees of George C. Heltzel
& Co., o: Chester, Pa, manufacturers
of woTsted goods, have been notified
TINT the wages paid in 1892 would be
restored on Sept. q next. The notice
was u surprise, as the restoration
was granted by the firm without So
licitation on the part Of the hands.
Heltzel & Co. employ several hundred
people. Since 1892 two reductions of
wages have been made, aggregating
about ~ per cent, and until three
weeks ago the mill has been running
on hall time. The firm has of late
received many new orders and the
employees are working full time.

THE OPTION K UP.
A Quarter Interest In the Sapphire Mines st
Yogo Sold to EngIishmen.

Great Falls Tribune: Messrs. Geo.
A. Wells and Matthew Dunn of this
city yesterday sold to Messrs. John
son, Walker and Tolhurst, capitalists
of London, a One-fOurth interest in
their sapphire mines at Yogo, the
price being over 800, OOO.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Tolhurst and
Edward A. Keller, a stone broker of
London, visited the mines in company
with Mr.. Wells, who had shown them
some specimen stones while i'm Lon
don, and were well pleased with the
property.
They wired the result of their ex-
animation to London and the gen.
tlemen who have become purchasers
secured an option on a quarter inter
est In the property, which would
have expired September 10. They
were 30 well satisfied with the full
reports on the property that they
decided to at once take up the option
and did So
1t is probable that the other three.
fOurths interest In the sapphire fields
will be placed upon the market in the
future.
Messrs. Wells and Dunn have ex.
pended $780, 900 in developing the sap
phire fields and have established q
worldwide market for the stones,
which rank among the best eve pro
duced. The field is the only one in
the state which has proved it's value
The sale will next year result IL
greater activity in the mines anG
their development will be watched
with interest by the people of north
ern Montana. Mr.. Wells states thai
the present season will end October
and that the work will then be sus
pended, to be resumed Oh a larger
sale next spring.

Was the Special School Tax Legal?

In reply to a request from Missoula
county, Attorney General Nolan has
rendered an opinion to the effect that
it il not now lawful for a special tax
to be voted in any of the school dis
tricts for the purpose OF maintaining
from such specially voted tax al
only De used for the building of addi-
tional school houses, improving or
moving those already built, or the
purchase of globes, charts, maps, etc.
In April last a special tax of not to
exceed one mill was voted in the Lew
isto wn district for the purpose of
continuing the school term, but
according to the attorney general,
such a proceeding was not legal and
the salaries of teachers and other
expenses can be paid solely from
taxes regularly levied by the board
of county commissioners and monies
received from fines. Section 1910, in
the codes as they were adopted, pro-
vided that II special tax might be
voted for various purposes, among
them being "or to maintain any
schools i'm such district" but the act
adopted at the last session amend
ing this section omitted these words
for what reason does not seem ap-
parent. This law was approved
March Sth and it's closing section
provided that it should go into effect
from the date of it's approval, con-
s%equently the special tax voted was
contrary to law and we do not see
how it is possible that it should be
collected.

There is some credence placed in
the news received from Herr Andree,
the daring aeronaut who has taken
the upper route to reach the North
Pole. With fair wind it is believed
that Andree could determine in two
days what other explorers have sac
rificed their lives and fortunes to
demonstrate, and that is whether
there is an open sea at the pole or
whether it is ice-bound. 1t may not
have taken Andree long to ascertain
the facts, but whether he lives to i'm
part the information to Others re-
mains to be seen. Ballooning is too
hazardous to give much hope for the
safety of the intrepid and daring
navigators, though it is possible they
may have made descent in n region
so remote that it would require
months for word to reach civiliza-
ton, except by carrier pigeons which
may have succumbed to atmospheric
conditions. But, after all, is the
desired knowledge worth the hazard?

AS appeared in commissioners pro-
ceedings in the ARGUS of the 18th
inst, the levy is as follows:
County tax, 9 mills. road 2. poor y.
sinking IL. school 3k. tOtalforcounty
purposes 16k, state ~ bounty 3,
stock Inspector and detective fund
X, stock indemnity y.
The levy in 1895 and 1896 f%orcounty
purposes, road, poor, school and
sinking funds, was 16 mills each year
and as noted above the increase this
year is one-half mill, occasiOned
solely by the demand for a greater
school tax.
AS b "Demo-Populist" organ
cites the administration of Hon. j.
p. Barnes it is well to recur to the
tax levy made in 1888 when Mr..
Barnes was commissioner. That
year the following levy was made:
county 8 mills, school 3, poor l, road
3, total for county purposes Is mills;
to which was added for state pur-
poses 81 mills as follows: state 2,
Inspector and detective II. stock in.
demnity \, sheep indemnity ", total
for all purposes 2Oh mills. The in.
crease in the levy for all county pur
poses from 1883 to 1897 is ~ mills
\ being just the amount of the levy
this year to pay the interest and
principal ON outstanding bonds
The policy of the board of which Mr.
Barnes was a member was to KEEP
down the levy by not paying expen'
SEES. warrants being heavily dis
counted until bonds were sold in 1885
to pay the accrued Indebtedness
The present board might adopt thu
same policy though we do not be
lieve the tax payers would so wisf
it. In fact Is mills is this year payins
the current expenses of the county Al
it did not do in 1888 and the levy o
X mills is to pay Indebtedness in

A Liar Exposed.

The persistent attempts Of the
"Demo-Populistic" organ of Lewis
town, to abuse, misrepresent and
vilify the board of county commits
sioners is getting to be somewhat
tiresome, and a few facts and figures,
taken from h official records, will
effectually serve to brand the pub.
Usher of the above named sheet, as
an ~ignoramus or a liar.
In reply to the oft repeapted asser
ton, that the annual expenses OF
our county government are con
stantly increasing, and that a de-
ficiency is occurring year by year, the
following statement, taken from the
official reports for the past five years,
is herewith submitted viz:

The Bluff Was Called.

Manager Wright of the LewistOwn
Reds has been in correspondence
with the Benton ball team, but as
yet games have not been definitely
arranged. All summer, in fact since
the last time the Benton boys visited
Lewistown, they have bantered the
Lewistowns for a game and have in
dulged in much badinage, character
izing the Lewistown players as "hay-
seeds, SNAPS" etc. But since the
games played with Belt our Benton
friends have taken another tact.
In order that they might have no
excuse for not playing. considering
the wonderful superiority claimed
by them, Manager Wright made a
proposition, offering them one-half
the gate receipts toward paying
their expenses In n side bet of $500.
Now come the Benton boys and say
the distance is sc great and the ex-
pense would be SO large that they
could not afford to come on those
terms, but if Lewistown or the fair
association will put up a purse of
$500 they will come. In other words
they want 500 If they win, but are
not willing to take chances on losing
a dollar. For a nine which has
claimed all along that they could
do things" to the Lewistown play
ers, this seems a cowardly position
to take. Come, il you are sports,
let us see the color of your money.
But If the Benton boys will notcome,
the Belts are anxious to fill the fair
dates and terms can easily be ar
ranged.
