THE RAILROADS.

The Idaho Midland railroad from Butte
to Boise City. according to w. E. Pierce,
president of the chamber of commerce at
Boise is to be built in very short time.
The new line will run from Boise in a
northeasterly direction taking in Salmon
City and the Salmon river region. the
distance being about 800 miles from Boise
to Butte. It will open up rich region
in the Salmon river district and do much
for the development of the mineral re-
sources there. Gibbonsville, Shoup, Gus
ter, Bonanza City, Challis. Clayton and
other towns in that vicinity will be i'm
nlensely benefited and properties which
are prospects at the present time will
develop into paying mines. The develop
ment is one of the largest in this section
for some time past.
MI Pierce is authority for the state
ment that the project is being promoted
by T. w. Bates who is credited with hav-
ing a large amount of eastern capital
behind him. The city of Boise has given
the necessary rights of way, also de-
pot site and the citizens have subscribed
$780, for the bonds. Part of the road
has already been graded and the citizens
of Boise think that work will be COM
menced in earnest next spring and the
road pushed through to completion. Mr..
Bates worked on the proposition for a
long time without receiving much en-
ragement, but recently the people

room with this spirit only to find them
selves SO hemmed in by rules and regu-
lations that it is impossible to assert any
individuality. Between the desire to do
what they conscientiousy believe is
needed and the necessity of following fix
ed rules, the flame of enthusiasm slowly
burns itself out and the teacher be-
comes only machine. a spoke in the
wheel. On the other hand many teach
ers altogether too many teachers are not
employed on their merits. They know it,
the pupils know it, everybody knows it
and here again is a knowledge that is
communicating. What use to strive for
excellence of merit doesn't count?" says
the student when he contemplates the
future and his share in the affairs of the

Clarke 1.-The tiger gets in there and
builds up machines which suck the life
blood out of our schools and turn them
over to political spoilsmen. Thus this
mighty weapon for the field fight in
which we are engaged is robbed of half
of it's efficiency" And let we talk of art
in the public schools!
l do not wish to be misunderstood as
opposed to wall decorations and the or
namentation of the school rooms because
l have cnlled these thistles from the
open fields. But. do believe we are CIV
lining more Importance in our talks, to
this phase of education than the actual
results warrant, and that we can never
hope for lasting results when we beau
tify one building or even two, three or
more and leave Others often in the out
lying districts and poorer quarters of the
city unadorned, and in some cases poor
ly ventilated and unclean. BY all means
let us have the art education. but let us
have it systematized and under the
guidance of those who had special
training.
Even then we cannot expect art in this
restricted form to make much impress
sion upon the character of the child un-
less we supplement the efforts in the
schoolroom by endeavoring to create a
public sentiment, which shall demand
purity in the home. purity in our social
life. purity on the streets and purity in
public office.
However, if this art knowledge, We are
all striving for, could be acquired and
utilized in the promotion of industrial
training. then indeed would art in the
schools mean more than decorations and
a fleeting beauty. H.

NO QUORUM PRESENT.
No Meeting of the Trustees of the
School of Mines Held.

No quorum of the trustees of the
school of mines could be secured last
night and the meeting that was to have
been held was adjourned until this even
ing.
Owing to the fact that Trustees Forbis
and Long have rendered their resigna-
tions, it requires the presence of the
three remaining members before any
business can be transacted. Governor
Richards who has been absent from the
city, will return this afternoon, so that
there will be quorum at the meeting
to be held tonight.
1t is probable that the question of the
difference of opinion between the trus-
tees and the state board of education
will come up in some form. At the last
meeting Governor Richards was in favor
of addressing a communication to the
state board, protesting against it's action
in cutting down the salaries of the in
instructors employed by the trustees,
and it is likely that this will be done at
the meeting tonight.
Trustee Moulthrop was not present at
the last meeting of the trustees, and it
is not known how he stands on the mat
ter. If he should follow the actions of
Mr.. Forbis and Mr. Long ard tender his
resignation, it will be necessary for the
governor or the state board to fill the
vacancies before the trustees can have
another meeting.
At the meeting tonight the trustees
will probably elect an instructor for the
preparatory class, as recommended by
the state board of education.
President Leonard has number of ap-
plications for the position. but they will
not be made public until submitted to
the trustees

THE CLOSING SESSION OF THE
STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
OFFICERS
|s

The officers who will direct the affairs
o. the state teachers association of Mon
tana for the coming year will be:
President, G. T. Bramble of Deer Lodge
county.
First Vice President, Harriet Hord,
Missoula.
Second Vice President, Miss Annie
Harwood, Dillon.
Secretary, Prof. w. NJ. Cobleigh of
Gallatin county.
Treasurer, Miss Belle Dorchester of
Great Falls.
The next place of holding the meeting
of the association will be Missoula.
The feminine side of pedagoguism
made itself felt at the session of the
state teachers association this MORN
ing. The occasion came when the order
of business. the election of officers. was
reached. AS a matter of fact the women
constitute very large majority of the
membership of the association. yet, so
the ladies say. a small coterie of men
have always dictated the organization
and everything else in connection with
the association.
Accordingly when the election of Off
GERS came round and some professor
made the remark in a joking way that
some woman ought to be nominated for
the Office of president, just for the fun
of doing it, the ladies put their heads to-
gether and very quickly showed the gen
tlemen that they are a power in the state
teachers association of Montana by SIM
ply electing a woman over the man who
was the unanimous choice of the asso-
citation for president. The lady chosen
was Miss Ella Orr of this city. who, at
ter the ladies had demonstrated that
they were entitled to a voice in the af-
fairs of the association. graciously re-
signed and the man whom all had had in
their minds eye for president, was
elected
1t was all very funny. and after the
election of Miss Orr, no one had the
temerity to suggest the name of a man
for Office except in one instance, and
then it was explained, in jest. of course,
that the candidate was as perfect lady
as any who had been named.
An immense amount of work was per-
formed at the morning session, which
did not come to a conclusion till l
o'clock, when the meeting adjourned
sine die, leaving only some depart
mental work to be transacted this after
noon. The matters of Importance to
be heard this morning were a clever
paper by Mrs. w. J. Christie of Butte
on the subject, Art in the Public
Schools and a paper on Science
Teaching in the Public Schools, by
Prof. Alex N. Winchell of the school of
mines.
During the morning those of the Wis
itors who desired We're shown through
the underground workings, and this
afternoon a large number of the teachers
are availing themselves of an invitation
to visit the smelling plants of the city.
The session convened at $3.50 this
morning. The first business transacted
was the appointment by the chair of the
committee on reading circle" Presi-
dent McAndrews of the normal school.

INFECTED ASIATIC FOODsTUFFs.

A correspondent of an evening paper
objects to the burning of imported
Asiatic foodstuffs on the ground that
1t would deprive the Chinese and Jap
anese of their customary diet and tend
to make them sick. We cannot think
that the point is well taken. These
foodstuffs are mainly delicacies, So
called, which the Asiatics can safely
go without for a time, just as other
people, coming here from the Coast, go
without their cracked crab, and sprigg
duck and other special and peculiar
table luxuries of home. So long as the
staples of Asiatic food are to be had
the Chinese and Japanese will get on.
With rice, fresh fish, tea, pork, eggs
and poultry for the Chinese, and rice,
tea, fresh fish, eggs, salt salmon and
beef for the japanese, we do not think
/ they will suffer much for the want of
/ seaweed, salt plums, bamboo sprouts
dried fish, birds nests, and sweet
meats. We can let them have the sta
pies all the while, with some importa-
lions from California added to food re-
sources Of this country, and that should
be enough for the time being. The
Injuries can be waited for until the
