LIFE IN A RAILROAD CAMP.
A DaIIes Boy Attempts TO Correct a Jap
and Gets Into Trouble

Work on the new Snake River line is
reported as progressing rapidly, and
many contracts are nearing completion.
The average contractors life is not one
in clover by any means, as one of the
many incidents occurring almost daily
might illustrate.
A young man, Chas. Snipes, we'll
known in The Dalles, who is foreman on
large work few miles below Grange
City, tried TO discharge one of his
Japanese, or PROFOUND more active prin-
ciples as regards the use of the pick,
into his oriental mind. The men de-
INJURED, and trouble arose with pace
equal to the rise of the Snake these days.
Used to having his own way in such
matters, Snlpes acted promptly and
without considering consequences. He
foored the belligerent, and it WAS like
pokiDg stick into a hornets nest. A
loud cry, and over hundred Japs at
tackled him with picks, stones and
shovels. Being unarmed, he was obliged
to run. Down the grade to the rivers
edge, hotly pursued by the numerous
emf blems of Jap wrath, several of which
took notable effect, he went, and thence
to camp, while the head Jap held them
back for the moment.
Later in the evening they all got
together, however, and after a long pow
WOW broke out afresh and came to
Snipes' tent to renew the attack. By
this time he was mad in earnest, and it
is said wanted to fight the whole crowd.
Events crowded, and authentic history
of the next few hours is very much as
that of the dark ages. However, he was
finally persuaded to retire, and at about
IL 80 appeared at the camp of Norman
Seaman, who is also quite well known
in The Dalles, in violent rage and rain
storm, and to his disgust learned that
all of Seaman's men had been on a
rampage from about the same cause
for the past three days, and he was just
holding the fort and waiting for the
next card to turn up.
But in spite of this unpleasant situa-
tion there was no going further, for the
night was dark and stormy and over 9
hundred Japs camped between him and
the next white camp. So he doctored
up his many cuts and bruises and re.
manned until daylight, when rage having
again mastered judgment, he armed and
went back to face his old enemies al
home, and try to get order out of very
ugly chaos.
That was tie last report, but let ut
hope our friends have mastered the stu
alton, which by the way appeared moi
to disturb their nerves as might of any
ordinary citizen tnot a contractor or rail
road foreman) and that Japan is agair
at peace with the Snake river world.

SEPARATE DISTRICTS,

The present legislature will be asked
to act upon certain bills creating sep
arate judicial districts of both Deer
Lodge and Missoula counties, leaving
Granite and Ravalli counties out,
and Senator Myers of Ravelli has in
troduced bill creating the twelfth ju-
dlclal district, to be composed of these
two counties. Governor Smith, in his
message to the Sixth Legislative AS
sembly, dwelt largely upon the mat
ter OF economy. stating that the pres
ent revenues of the state were made
quate to meet the current expenses and
recommended that measures be adopt
ed that would tend to increase the
states income. The citizens of Gran
lite county concur with the governor
Oh the subject of economy and for
that reason are very much opposed to
the creation of separate judicial dis
trlcts for Deer Lodge and Mlssoula
counties or the formation of additional
districts. The population of the coun-
ties in question has not sufficiently in
creased to warrant or necessitate such
a movement, and the bills referred to
above could in no way be construed as
measures that would increase the rev.
enues of the state or lessen the present
current expenses
A petition to the legislature praying
for the creation of the twelfth judicial
district, to comprise the counties of
Granite and Ravalli, is being circulated
about the city. The petition upon
lts face appears all right, and The

The Anaconda Standard of las. Wed
nesday contains an article contributed
by its special correspondent of this city,
from which one would infer that Phil
ipsburg is real warm place and that
urgent reforms are needed to protect
the Inhabitants from the appalling evils
that are said to exist In our peaceable
and quiet little city. In his attempt to
picture veritable Monte Carlo, where
farmers lose their wads, grafters prosper
and victims are found everywhere, he
becomes alarmed at his own eloquence
and quotes about half column from
senate bill No. 80 to convince himself
that he has done the subject justice.
How a community can go to the bad
with such great reformers in it's midst is
difficult to conceive; besides, we have
several resident ministers here, to aid
in missionary work if required. A more
competent and conscientious set of
officers than those of Granite county Is
not to be found anywhere, and they can
be depended upon to discharge their du-
ties faithfully and as required by law.

llOTES OF ARMY AND NAVY,

A cannon ball fired from one of the
great Krupp or Armstrong guns travels
2.8S7 feet per second.
The fixed bayonet was not used in
the charges, either at San Juan or IGl
Caney. 1t is claimed it should be made
smaller and sharper.
One of the new forts in Charleston
harbor will be named Fort Capron, in

Our government has bought 253 boats

ports of 5000 tons.
Cordte cartridges sent from the fac
tory at Waltham Abbey to India five
years ago, after being subjected to
every practical test of heat, cold, dry
ness and damp, on being used at rifle
ranges have been found to be as good

NJ. Edouard Lockroy, French minis
ter of marine, intends to refuse all ap-
plications for the temporary service of
foreign officers with any of the squad

mitted to ships in remote seas, and also
to few stations on shore.
1t is a curious fact that, although a
hostile ship may sail right up to an
other hostile ship while flying the col
ors of friendly power, she must not
fire shot until she has shown her true
colors, as such proceeding is contrary
to the rule of modern war.
In 1888 and 1889 the number OF

that France and Russia number among

only on paper.

creation Of this new judicial district will
only be an additional expense 10 the

to Deer Lodge, is of no disadvantage to
any one, and the trip from one county

few hours ride, while under the present

two days to reach Hamilton, the county

In Manritius they make tea of the
leaves of an orchid.
In Peru they drink mate, tea made
from a native species of holly.
In Sumatra coffee leaves are put in
the teapot and the result is said to be

The Abyssinians make a tea from
the leaves of the Catha eduils, which
has such stimulating qualities that to

most valuable to travellers.
The Tasmanians are said to be the
lucky owners of no fewer than 100

DEMOCRATIC DEBACCHERY.

The disgraceful scenes witnessed in
the legislative halls at Helena since the
senatorial contest has become ali order
of business should serve as striking
lesson to every intelligent voter in Mon
tana, and when the time arrives for him
to again cast his vote for men to repre-
sent the people in the highest law
making body of the state, only honor
able and reputable citizens should re-
ceive his suffrage and be commissioned
to fulfill that high function. All over
the state has public feeling been
aroused, and should an election he held
at this time Montana would go over
whelmingly Republican. A certain
amount of honesty and fairness are ex-
pected even in politics, and we know of
40 other state in the union which has
been SO polluted by corrupt methods es
our fair mountain state. Well organized
systems Of bribery and corruption have
been inaugurated by Democratic lead
ers, and a general feeling is rapidly de.
veloping that the Democratic party is
not trustworthy; and in order to prevent
a repetition of political crimes no Demo-
crat should again be honorcd with suffi-
cient votes to elect him to public office.
Granite county may feel justly proud
at being represented by at east one man
W. hn ic To h to
the principles of the platform upon
which he was elected. If it were left to
him whether or not Montana should be
represented in the senate of the United
States, it is safe to predict that the
right course would prevail and his act
would receive the sanction of his party.
Would we had more such men in the
senate at present - the sensational
charges of bribery and corruption would
not disgrace the name of our fair state.
The remedy is in the hands of the
voter, and strange as it may seem, of the
five men who haye represented Granite
county in the legislature since it's Gre
alton only two are now residents wi hin
its boundaries. Permanent residents
OF the county are growing weary of
sending men who are accompanied by
their entire earthly gatherings and whose
business pursuits carry them to other
parts after the session of the legislature
adjourns The law-making body Of the
state should be made up of representa-
tive citlzens-of men whose personal IN.
terests are at stake and who are obliged
to return to their respective counties
and face the people who send them.
Bribery and corruption would then be
unknown in the legislative halls and no
grand jury investigations would be re-
qnired to detect criminals among our
law makers A determination to rem
edy the evil is strongly apparent. and
the political complexion of Granite
county's representatives at the next ses-
sion of the legislature will be decidedly
un-Democratic.

The improved condition of Granite
county residents is particularly notice.
able among the farmers of the Flint
Creek valley. Splendid crops were
harvested last season and the prevailing
good prices and ready market for farm
products have replenished the former
ly depleted condition of their pocket
books. 1t is nothing uncommon to see
Flint Creek valley rancher pull a
handful of greenbacks out of his pocket
that would make banker blush. As a
consequence the farmer is a welcome
guest wherever he goes. The sporting
fraternity has discovered his prosperous
condition, and nothing is left undone to
make things pleasant for him when he
comes to town for little recreation. A
little incident that transpired a few
days ago, however, should serve as a
warning to the honest tiller of the soil,
and only such sums of money as he ex-
poets to place in general circulation
should accompany him on his visits to
places where The elephant Is on exhibi-
ton. While the amount which parted
company with one of our prominent val
ley residents is by no means all he pos
sessed, it is perhaps in excess of what he
generally spends at one time. But the
fact that our farmers are prosperous re-

carry spending money in their pockets
