The annual report Of Commissioner
Harris. Of the commission Of education.
devotes considerable space to the sub
ject of education In Alaska. but it dis
piaye a lack Of information which robs
1t of much possible value. 1t Is not 50
much in the crude statement of facts
as to a number OF places that this de-
ficiency is apparent, but in the evident
failure to appreciate the fact that a
revolution has taken place in that ter
ritory.
The department Is still dealing with
Alaska as II II were an Indian settle
ment with sprinkling OF mining
camps. 1t does not realize that an en-
tirely new system Ia required. For in
stance, II has not word to say about
Juneau, and 1t speaks OF Skagway as a
place which at Is now clear will be-
come a populous village"
1t is true that an increased appropri-
alton is recommended, but the dlsap-
pointing feature of the report Is that 1t
utterly fails to convey to congress the
full, or anything like the full. import of
the change that has taken place. 1t Is
evident that Alaska has not taken steps
too early TO have active representation
before congress.

MIR. HANNA WANTS TO RETIRE.
III Health Given ~ Cause for GiviD9
Cp the ChaLrmanship.

WASHINGTON. Nov 15.-Thcre is MOTH
ing In the talk about the retirement Of Mr..
Hanna from the craftsmanship of the IA
tiOnal Republican committee. He viii re-
main at the head of that organization I'M
til he calls the next national convention 10
order. When the temporary chairman
takes his seat and the authority of the
present committee expires. Mr.. Hanna will
decline a reelection on account OF his
health and his arduous service, and the
Ohio delegation will nominate his successor
who will probably be Representative Dick.
1t does not follow, however, that Mai.
Dick will succeed Mr.. Hanna as chairman
of the committee. 1t is more probable that
he viii not do so. Senator PenroSe. OF
Philadelphia. would Hike 10 have that hon.
or. and Will have strong support from
Eastern committeeman. but Ii has always
been customary to permit the candidate for
president to select a man 10 manage his
campaign. IL he desires to do So and by
that rule President Mckinley will have
the casting vote Mr.. Hanna does not
want TO remain at the head of the commit
tee. and his doctors have warned him that
another campaign such as he has just pass
ed through would kill him.
Senator Penrose is an able and energetic
young man, who was g years old on the
LIST of November. He graduated at Har-
ward university in 1851, read law with
Wayne MaeVeagh, was admitted 10 the bar
In 1883. elected to the Pennsylvania Iegfsia-
ture In 1884 to the Pennsylvania senate in
1856 and served continuously until he was
sent 10 the United States senate In 1897.
He was educated In the Quay school OF
politics and has been a most proficient psi-
Pill. There is man In public life who
understands the uses of the political ma
chine better than he He is the ideal Of
the practical politician. The president
likes Penrose and has great respect for his
ability. /, Is not believed that ne will
have any objections to his selection as
chairman OF the committee.
Mr.. Henry c. Payne. of Milwaukee. who
was first lieutenant to Mr.. Hanna in the
last campaign. might have the chairman
ship II he wanted 1t, but his health would
not permit him 10 undertake the manage
ment OF a campaign.

More than decade since the president
az the United States visited the city o.
Minneapolis. He was accompanied by his
wife. noble and much-heloved woman
There were elaborate reception ceremonies
and a remarkable ou,pouring OF good Will
and loyal enthusiasm by the great Middle
Northwest toward the chief executive and
his YOUNG and beautiful helpmeet. The
occa sion was marred by one shocking IN
c.dent- A prominent newspaper, publish
ed in Minneapolis. made scurrilous edit
oriai attack upon Mrs. Cleveland. II was
something more than a deliberate insult
to the guest of the city by one of its jour
nails. IL was an indecency beyond precedent
in the nations history. The whole pub
lie was aroused beyond measure over the
outrage, and 1t manifested its sense OF In
dignAtion by burning the editor in effigy
and withdrawing IT'S patronage to such
an extent that the paper speedily went
Into bankruptcy.
There has just appeared in q Seattle
paper a most inexcusable article which Is
paralleled only by the unfortunate Min
neapolis episode. The vice president of
the United States has just died. AT this
time, when the whole country feels deco
rous regret that an upright. honorable gen
tleman occupying the highest station but
one In the peoples gift has passed away,
and is manifesting its respectful sorrow
for the grief Of his family and numerous
personal friends, Seattle paper endeav-
ors to besm.rch his name and defame his
memory by q most offensive personal as
sault. The observation-disclosures cannot per-
init tbese vile insinuations to pass I'M
noticed. and it hastens TO declare that
they represent the sentiments of no party
or person in Seattle except the degenerate
person who wrote them.
After the Minneapolis episode. the editor
Of the offending journal declared THAI he
was the victim of plot and the Infamous
article was inserted without his knowl-
edge or consent. Let W hope. for the good
name of Seattle and Seattle journalism,
that similar disavowal may be made by
the Evening Times.

That Is a remarkable story which comes
from Texas Of the attack upon the coored
company of United States regulars sta
toned at Fort Ringgold by the citizens of
Rio Grande City. The reports are conflict

Going to Cane Nome.

Missoula, Dec. 16.-The Bitter Root
will lose one of its old landmarks in
the spring. when Sterney Blake leaves
for Cape Nome. He has made all Of
his arrangements and will leave as
early as possible. He has not decided
how long he will remain up there, but
he will at least look over the ground.
Mr.. Blake is the man who panned the
first pay pan of gold in Montana. That
was quite a while ago, but he has not
forgotten how the trick is done, and
he will keep his eye opened in the new
fields. He has hundreds of friends who
will wish him success and all the mug
gets that he can take care of.

What Ike Pulled.

Missoula, Dec. LIB. E. Palmer, SUI
perintendent of building of the Rocky
Mountain division of the Northern Pa
cific, has figured out the weight that
Conductor Harpster pulled on the night
that he performed the functions of a
coupling and pulled his own caboose
into the Helena yards from the Mon
tana Central crossing. The story was
told in the Standard a short time ago
and has caused considerable discussion
among railway men, With the weight
of the caboose and the elevation of the
grade as a basis of his calculations,
Mr.. Palmer has figured that Mr.. Harp
ster pulled about 500 pounds for the two
miles. That is a pretty good haul.

MISSOULA PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The Missoula public library had a
modest beginning. Its nucleus was the
collection of books made by literary
! society in, the early days Of the city,
and for long time but little was done
toward increasing this number or pro-
viding for their proper circulation. The
voting OF half-mill tax, however,
gave the necessary funds to work with,
ana the appointment of a library board
followed. This was when Fl. W. Nc
Laughlin was mayor. J. H. r. Ryman
was the first president of the library
board and has held the office ever
since. j. w. Buford has been the sec
rotary ever since the board was or
ganized. and to the efforts of these
two men, more than anything else. has
been due the success that has attended
the growth of the institution. The
ilrst quarters were in the Higgins
block. These were outgrown in a few
years and the library secured new
quarters in the Allen building, which
it still occupies
Here are the circulating and reading
rooms of the institution and the read
ing room has been made an important
feature of the library from its incep-
ton. There is kept good list of news
papers and periodicals that affords
means of gratifying every taste in this
line. Last year an additional half-mill
tax was voted for the library, and the
trustees are now able to carry on the
institution in a much more satisfactory
manner than when they We're more
cramped for funds. There are now in
the library nearly 5000 books for cir
culation beside the fine reference Ii
brary. These books are divided among
the different classes of literature in a
proportion that seems best adapted to
the requirements of the patrons of the
library. The proportion of the division
is determined from the demand that is
made for books, as shown by the re-
port of the librarian. There are about
1890 visitors at the library each month.
and the average monthly circulation of
books is in the neighborhood of 1900.
Mrs. Sue X. Reinhard is the librarian,
and her services have been responsible
in a large measure for the admirable
manner in which the library has been
conducted. She devotes much time to
the library, and the city is remarkably
fortunate in having her in this posi-

Up toward the Idaho line, at the
summit of the divide that is crossed
by the Occur d'Alene branch of the
Northern Pacific, there is a group of
mines back of Saltese that gives prom
Use OF becoming an important addition
to the list of producing properties.
These mines are owned by poor men,
and the difficulty of getting in to them
mas been so great that their develop
ment has been much hampered. lot
OF work. however, has been done under
unfaVorable conditions, and the mines
are now in such shape that they have
attracted the favorable attention of
prominent mining men in Montana and
Idaho. They are on the great mineral
belt that includes the producers of the
Occur dAlene country, and are des-
tined to be heard from before long.
Several freezeout games have been at
tempted upon the owners, who have
done the work of development them
selves, but they have thus far been
successfully resisted. and the miners
expect to reap the benefit of their hard
work themselves. The construction of
road into this mining district would
be of great benefit and efforts are be-
ing made in this direction.
Up in the Bitter Root country they
have been taking out goodly quantities
of placer gold this summer on Hughes
creek and the gold is of fine quality
There is said to be plenty of it, too.
and the miners who have been at work
there are expecting to develop a new
klondike of their own. The returns
thus far are encoura ging, and the camp
is in Il fair way to become a big one.
In the mineral hill country there has
been q, lot of work done on quartz
properties that are reported to be good
ones. A wagon road has been built
into this section and the work of de-
veloping the mines is making good
progress. Those who have for years
predicted that in the southern Bitter
Root mountains would some day be dis
covered one of the richest mining
camps on earth are now looking for
ward to a realization of their proph
ecies. There is coal and wood and wa
ter there in abundance. and there are
tons and thousands of tons Of ore
What this ore is remains to be seen,
but those who know assert positively
that Western Montana will one day be
as famous for it's mines as it is for its
farm products.

Building Bridges.

Missoula, Dec. 16--With the compile
ton of the work on the new Maclay
bridge beyond Fort Missoula, which is
now under way, the last of the damage
by the floods of last summer will be re-
paired. Contractor Peppard, who is do
ing the work, has restored those of the
Ravalli county bridges that were de-
stroyed or damaged last spring and the
two counties are now ready for another
flood. The damage to bridges on the
west side was greater this year than in
exception of 1894
