ROUND VALLEY RUHORS.

Spring, sweet spring has come.
The MARBLE of the cowboy is
mingled with the happy sigh of
the lowly plowboy as he slowly
limps fieldward, where he talks
questionable French to his team
all day.
The appearance of the above
mentioned interesting animals is
an undoubted sign of Spring.
They are, in fact, more to be re-
lied on than the time-honored
grounding, and they are far
nicer, in several ways. First,
they know more than a ground
hog, at least some of them do,
and then some of them are real
pretty to look at.
There was a very sad accident
almost occurred in Round Val
ley recently. A handsome youth
whose fair face is perpetually
wreathed in sweet smiles, receiv-
ed the sad news that his next
best girl was married and gone
to Klondike. When he read it,
the letter fell from his nerveless
hands, and without word of
farewell he lit out for the river
on o run. The gentle zephyrs
seemed to whisper as they pass :
ed: The don't care to live, "a over
and over again. One side of his
beautiful face was the picture of
calm despair; the other side, of
settled determination. He knew
perfectly well that he was going
to drown himself, and he was
glad. He ran to the river bank,
and paused a moment and looked
into the cold depths, and for the
first time faltered, 20, heaven |!
he muttered; / wish it was warm
er-it is so cold," and besides l
would be sure to get my feet
wet, and that was something |
always avoided. He wrung his
hands helplessly, then like an
inspiration new idea came to
him, and very probably saved
his life. it and his aversion to
wet feet, he thought of his other
girl, and some of his lost color
mounted his cheeks, and he said:
1T would be too cruel to her
poor girl, the shock would end
her life. No, no, l must not do
this thing. Of course | don't
care to live very much, but |
must for her sake. | must be
unselfish this time, and if | find
out that she also can live without
me-then the water will be warm
Grand nothing can stop me.
He accidently told his friends all
about his attempted suicide, and
for fear he will have no girl at
all, to think the second time, his
friends won't allow him to go
near the river when the water
gets warme. AURA MAY.

Butte Mining and Railway Review
The project of building a rail
road from Butte westward, known
as the old Butte Boise railroad,
has been revived. This time
there seems to be some reason
for the success of the enterprise.
1t is known that several survey
ing parties are now in the field,
but it is not known in whose in
terest they are working.
There is no enterprise that we
know of that at once SO com
mends itself to the attention of
capital. The editor of the Re
view has justmade trip through
western Idaho and is able to say
from personal knowledge that
this road would be one that
would do more for Montana than
the completion of any other en-
terprise.
It would seem that there is a
combination of causes that are
forming forward the building of
this line. In the first place the
B., A. & p. runs west from Butte
q miles of the distance to Ana
conda. 1t is known that the
company will lay IA miles of
track west of Anaconda that will
take the end of the track TO Sill
yer Lake. From Silver Lake it
is not over 40 miles distant to a
point through the Bitter Root
valley. 1t can not be questioned
but that the company expects
soon to build that far. From this
point in the Bitter Root valley it
is not more than $50 miles south
west to an intersection of the
Oregon Short Line and also the
contemplated Oregon Pacific. In
going west the route would be to
some point on Clear Water or
Horse Creek and then to some
point adjacent to the Seven Dew
lis country. From there they
would be able to go almost any
where they wished. They would
unquestionably run to Boise City
the capitol of Idaho, from which
place they could continue on
southwest towards SanFrancis-
co. The construction of a line
of road anywhere near those in
dictated would prove, not alone to
the country through which il
passed, a great boon, but it
would develop a very great
amount of local business. There
is no part of the country that
is capable of supplying so great
an amount of produce as the
Boise valley and the adjacent
country. 1t would give Butte
what it so much needs-a point
from which it could get its pro
Once and fresh fruits. There are
in that locality thousands of
acres of the best fruit lands that
lay out of doors that are ONLY
waiting for market to be
brought under cultivation. Mon
tana would furnish a market for
all that can be raised in that
section of the country for many
years to come, and the Review
hopes that those who are now
looking into this matter will see
it to their interest to at once give
instructions for work to be
crowded so that the Butte Boise
railroad will soon be an accom-
plished fact.

Brumm's Old Tricks.

The postmastership at Minersville is giving
the Congressman considerable trouble and it
is not likely to be settled before the Repub.
lican convention The appointment is long
overdue. About a month ago the Congress
mans friends gave it out that young Lauben-
stein would be the successor to Postmaster
Steele and last week the information that
John Miller would be the successful man came
from the same source. The truth of the
matter is Brumm hasn't the courage to decide
between the two and the Miuers' Journal
throws out the feeler of Mrs Alex. Smith
who lost her husband and son in the Cuban
war; as compromise candidate. If this is
received with any degree of favor, the Con
gresham, who is ever ready for com
promise" will make this worthy lady a too
to cover up his bad faith with other candi
dates.
