Rod d. Leggatt Says That the Late
Rains Saved the Crops.

THE rain Of last Friday was worth a
million dollars to the ranchers of Idaho and
Washington said Rod D. Leggatt today.
Mr.. Leggatt has just returned from an ex-
Tended visit to the Clearwater and Nez
Perce country. The crops were parched
when ! fist went through" continued Mr..
Leggatt, "and the ranchers feared the
worst. But the rains came at a most op-
perfume time and the entire crop will be
saved.''
Speaking Of the mining industry, Mr..
Leggatt said that Sweeney of Spokane,
who IS operating the Buffalo Hump group
Of mines, is doing splendid work. He is
taxing In considerable machinery to de-
ve!op the mines. has erected a sawmill,
built a new bridge across the American
river, and is employing a large number Of
men. Grangeville can now be entered by
means of two splendid wagon roads, where
formerly there was but a trail.
The Elk placers, in which Mr.. Leggatt is
heavily interested, are looking well, but
the water is now getting short. They a

some time ago in that section. threatens
to cut them short of water.

Clark, the senator's son. WHOM he met in
the lobby of the Buire Aotel and threat
ened to slap unless he made a retraction
OF some statement. The young man stood
pat, however, and defied his excellency.
Ben Hin appeared on the scene before

The Democratic delegates to the state
convention who made life a burden to the
hotel clerk and a blessing to the dispen-
sers of mixed drinks are rapidly depart
ing from the city. A lew yet remain.
They are 10th to leave the city which has
treated them SO kindly, and all speak in
the kindest terms of the treatment ac-
corded them.
The Democratic row which resulted in
a divide democracy was anticipated by
all of the delegates, but few of them ex-
pected the warm time which followed the
meeting of tn central committee. It was
a surprise to the out of town delegates
especially who had heard a, great aeal Of
the methods practiced by the democracy
OF Silver Bow, but who had dismissed the
stories from their minds as idle creations
of the Clark wing or Of the republicans.
But this time they saw and were salts
fed.
The trains last night were crowded
with returning delegates. Among those
who remained over were Judge Sloan and
Frank G.. Higgins of Missoula, Judge
Smith, Frank Gray, Col. Moore n
Thomas c. Long OF Flathead, Walter
Cooper and G. S. Hoffman of Gallatin,
Honest" Sam Mitchell of Choteau and
w. J. Ennis of Madison.
Ben Hill, the w~heelhorse of the Clark
forces, who is credited with doing most
of the fine political work of that wing,
is still in the city. Mr.. Hill was one of
the most interchangeable workers preceding
the convention. He win leave Butte to-
night for his ranch near Missoula where
he will put in a few weeks recuperating.

THE LITERARY WORLD

One Of the most important points
fer MIR Lincoln TO consider at the
opening OF the rebellion. was. to whom
he should give the chef command Of

a well known citizen OF Chicago at
that time was confidential friend CT
Mr. Lincoln. and a man OF aCknOWl-
edged ability as TO matters pertaining
TO state affairs. Under sues a con-
viction Mr. Lincoln sent for him TO
come to Washington. When the two
were IN conference together Mr..
Lincoln proposed TO give the

had no weight with Alr Lincoln, who
stlll favored the promotion OF Mr.
Douglas to the position
Seeing that he could not turn his
purposes Mr. Peck admonished him
of the fact, that inasmuch as Mr. Doug
las was then dangerously sick at Chi
cago, 1t would be prudent to wait till
he had recovered. before appointing
him 20 the position. lest In the event
OF his death, the friends of Mr. Doug
las would say that an empty honor
had been conferred upon him which
/ It was certain he could never live to
enjoy. This consideration had It's de-
sired effect, and Mr.. Lincoln concluded
TO let the appointment rest, to await

A UNIQUE STATE.
Tetas Has Paid Allegiance TO the

Tetas Has Paid Allegiance TO the
Flags Of Six Nations.
Scarcely another state in the union
has as remarkable and interesting a
history as Texas. In one respect at
least It occupies a unique position in
the history of American states. Since
It's discovery six different governments
have at different times claimed its al
leglance. and as many different hags
have waved over il, those Of France
spain. Nexlco. independent Texas, the
United States and the Confederate
states.
Tie foundations Of Texas statehood
were not laid as British colony. nor
under the grant or control Of the Brit
ish crown. Us were those OF the original
thirteen states Its first settlement
oates back more than 200 years. and its
0rst American co1onists went there
under terms and conditions imposed
by a foreign state. to whose language,
laws and Institutions they were total
Etrenyera. There never was there
RSYsr eeald he, any sympathy between
these. frst American c0lonists and the
Mexican governments under the old
regime. separated by vast wilder
nesses from the people Of the United
States. and unaided save by the In
divldusl efforts Of sympathizing breth-
rem thcrpil. these colonlsts declared
their independence. established It with
the sword. and for nine years main
talned stable republic.
Texas was neither purchased nor
conquered for the union. Annexation
to the United States was accomplished
through a treaty made by Texas repre-.
sentatiyes and ratified by the free
suffrage Of the ,citizens. No other
state In the Union has had such varied
experience or sailed through such
stormy seas into the haven OF peace
and prosperity. Louis Globe-Demo-
