A Hint to w. A. Clark.

The HORSEPOWER bath open the year
round would supplement the rather
r.eager bathing facilities at the lakes
and eliminate the river from the cal
Culations of the summer boys, says the
Great Falls Tribune. How much anX-
iety that would subtract from the daily
existence of many thousands of moth
ers cannot be estimated. But the saw
ing would pay for the baths every year.
And if the baths shall happen to be
erected by an individual, philanthro-
pist, the gratitude of these parents
would go out to him In such floods as
10 make him wonder why he had not
placed himself in a position to be all
but worshiped long long before. This
is a chance for some public spirited
man to come to the front and volunteer
to erect a public bath house. The Mis-
souri, river is a treacherous body of
water. Bathing is health giving eX-
ercise, and cleanliness is next to godli-
ness. A true philanthropist can take
advantage of the close proximity of the
river, and make it available to oul
boys, yes, and all of the community
More good would come from a public
bathing house than comes from some
churches. Is this not a glorious oppor.
tunity for Senator w. A. Clark? viii
he give half toward a bath house if the
city will give the other half of the sun
required? Or will he open his heart
and his pocketbook too, wider. anG
give all that Is required for that pur-
pose?

The Mantle Boom.

Not the least interesting of the dog
day politics is the announcement by
several papers that Lee Mantle is a
candidate for the republican nominal
ton for governor of Montana, says the
jefferson Valley Zephyr. The manner
in which the aspiration is presented to
the public indicates that the ex-senator
has a fairly well organized literary bu-
reau at work, and that he believes in
the equity of prior claim. During the
past few months the Inter Mountain,
Mr.. Nantes newspaper has been slid
ing into the goldite camp, and the pa
per is supposed to show where Mr..
Mantle is sliding. The public is not
informed what ceremony was per-
formed by the oddities upon the return
of the prodgal Mantle-whether they
desire to kill the calf or whether they
will kill off the prodigal. Whether Mr..
Mantle desires to be the candidate of
the silver republican party, of which he
is state chairman, or whether he is out
for the nomination by the united re-
publicans, are matters which the pub
lie is left TO infer. However, it would
seem that the senator will have hard
time pacifying those who have re-
manned in the straight party, and VINO
will as a reward therefor, claim all the
nominations in sight.

The Big Timber Wool Market.

1t seems. says the Big Timber Pho
neer that a number of woolgrowers
who have brought their clips to Big
Timber this season are dissatisfied with
the market here and think they could
have received a better price for their
product elsewhere. OF course they
know what prices wool demanded here,
but know nothing OF prices elsewhere
except from reports which. there is eN-
cry reason to believe, have been eXag-
grated. 1t is to the interests of bust
ness men that their town should be
considered the best wool market. and
the market reports from Billings, Great
Falls and elsewhere show that the fact
is realized in those places. Some of the
recent reports from these places show
that there is the same dissatisfaction
among woolgrowers there that there is
here. We think if the truth was known
the prices paid for wool here this sea
son were just as good as those paid
for wool of the same quality in any
other market in the state.

Railroad Assessment.

The Dillon Examiner regrets to learn
that the state board of equalization
has modified its action in regard to the
railroad assessment by granting sub
stantial reduction from the value orig
inally placed by the board upon rail-
way property. Yet the assessment as
il stands now shows a material increase
over all former railroad assessments.
The representatives of the railroad
companies were able to show that the
increase in the valuation of their prop
critics was out of proportion with the
increase in other classes of property
This argument doubtless had some eff
feet with the members of the board
but it is to be hoped that the board
will not relax it's efforts to gradually
bring the railroad assessment up to the
proper valuation.

Nantle and RahcOCk.

Ex-United States Senator Lee Mantle
is slated for the head Of the republican
state ticket for Montana next year,
while the Hon. A. L. Babcock of Bill
lings will, it is claimed, occupy the sec
ond place on the ticket says the BIZ
Iings Times. These are two of the shin
ing lights of the republican party-the
break will be even-Mr. Mantle is pos
sessed of strong free silver proclivities
and would like to espouse the Is to l
doctrine of the democratic party, but
ne knows there is no chance for him
on the mourner's bench of that party
so he unblushingly swallowed his cud

Volunteers Are Shy.

A special dispatch from Butte to the
Pioneer Press of ST. Paul says that
there is a painful absence of volunteers
from this state who desire TO give their
services to the administration for a war
of conquest in the Philippines. 1t states
that, after some weeks of effort only
about a dozen volunteers have been Sc
cured at Butte. That is in strange con-
trast to the time when Mckinley called
for volunteers to fight with Spain for
Cuban liberty, says the Great Falls
Tribune. Then thousands clamored 70"
a chance to enlist. A whole regiment
could have been raised in Butte alone
in less than a week. Even the most
ardent imperialist must be struck with
the change and get vague suspicion
in his mind that the present war is
not a. popular one like its predecessor.
Only 10000 volunteers are wanted from
the whole United States, and 1t seems
that it is a long and tedious job to
find them. The dispatch referred to
says that the lack of success in raising
volunteers in Montana is due to the in
tiuence of organized labor. That is
nonsense. 1t is, no doubt, true that or
ganized labor is opposed to the admin
istration's annexation policy, but they
are quite willing to see all the floating
population out of a job enlist if they
want to- 1t would be all the better for
organized labor. The true reason why
volunteers are scarce is that the masses
of the people have no sympathy with
the administration policy of benevolent
assimilation with powder and bayonets
In the Philippines, and they are not
pleased with the way Uncle Sam treat
ed the former volunteers who enlisted
to fight Spanards from motives of pure
natriOtism

WHAT THE PRESS OF MONTANA
FINDS TO TALK ABOUT

and Joined the me-too- Mr.. Mckinley
faction and is now standing in the cur
rent where the gold bolt can hit him
if it wants to. He will be dead easy
picking for the democratic speakers
while the candidate of the party of the
people can carry weights and beat him.
OF course the defeat of the head of the
ticket will carry the rest Of the ticket
the hide will have to go with the hair
and the Times will regret to see Col
onel Babcock slaughtered on the repub
lican sacrificial altar next year, be-
cause, leaving his politics out of the
transaction, Colonel Babcock is one of
the best men in Montana.

Montana's Strawberry Crop.

The strawberry season is about over.
The crop was fully up to the average
both in quantity and quality, and
prices We're very satisfactory, says the
Montana Fruitgrower. A great many
growers still cling to the old sorts and
to careless methods of cultivation and
marketing. These people will have tc
improve their methods or they will he
shut out from the markets. as the ber-
ry acreage is steadily increasing and
very soon there will only be a demand
for the best. The time is near at hand
when this will be the case in regard tc

The Standards Mining Department.

The Anaconda Standard has made a
new departure which will be appre-
ciated by its readers all over the state,
says the Libby News. A mining de-
partment has been instituted which will
be in charge of eX-COngressman Bar
tine of Nevada. Every Tuesday morn
ing extra pages of the Standard will he
devoted to a review of the mining in
dustry during the preceding week. The
new feature will undoubtedly add Ia
the prestige of the Standard through
ont the state

The outlook for heavy crop is the
best we have ever seen in the valley,
says the Flathead Herald-JOurnal.
Wheat stands up strong and rank. is
well headed out, and if no unusual and
disastrous weather occurs, will yield
bounteously. This, combined with a
fairly good price, will put plenty Of

Hon. A L. Stone, the Missoula repre-
sentative of the Standard, and Judge
Woody came up from Missoula Wednes-
day night and left yesterday morning
for the Big Hole battle ground, where
Mr.. Stone will take photos of scenes of
interest there and will probably write
a sketch of the battle and its scenes Cor
the Standard, says the Bitter Root
Times. Judge Woody passed over the
site in 1856 when he came to Montana,
and this will be his first visit to the
Big Hole since that time, Reports from
the battle ground convey the intelli-
gence that many unwarranted acts of
vandalism have been committed there;
the monument has been Clipped by rel
ic hunters and the bones of many Of
those killed in the battle lie uncovered
on the ground. 1t is said by citizens
who participated in the fight that its
true history has never been written,
and if it were it would not reflect great
credit on General Gibbons. The In
dams had outgeneraled the army at
Lolo and passed peacefully through the
valley At Stevensville and other parts
of the valley many citizens We're IN
duced to join Major Catlin's company
of volunteers by the assurance of the
general that there would be no lighting,
as his only desire was to surround the
Indians and capture them, and if there
should be trouble he would not expect
the citizens to engage in it, but it seems
ordered an attack just at dawn White
the Indians were asleep in their tents.
that he placed Major Catlin's company
between the Indians and soldiers, and
it simply resulted in wholesale and
unwarranted massacre of Indian wo-
men and children, while the warriors
took a strong position on an opposite
hill and came near annihilating the
whole command of soldiers and citizens,
but in his report the general lacks the
magnanimity to acknowledge the serv-
ice of the citizens who saved his COM
mand from complete destruction.
