the young state.
s OF the national guard. the governor
says:
"No state in the Union has more rea-
son to be proud Of her national guard
than q North Dakota, since no Fegt-
ment in the field Of active operations
more fully met the confidence reposed'
in them by the people OF the state
which thy represented. I congratulate
the entire command, officers and men
alike, upon, their courage and eficiency
which has won the good name univers-
ally conceded them. The report OF
Adjt. Gen. Miller makes q full exhibit
Of the details Of the organization, q
merits your careful examination"
The authority Of the state to- regu-
late and control corporations is now
firmly established by the decision Of
| the courts, and should be exercised
with frmness, intelligence and discre-
ton. q. i
The governor calls attention to the
rapid growth in railway construction,
.HN HI-7Eyr-le HF.fHt #I.
and says:
eve have to-day 3.0s1, miles Of rail-
way in operation in the state; Yet u
people will hardly be satisfied until
every county in the state is fntersected
with railroads. During the two years
past the assessed valuation Of railroads
| has increased from SIP, 600, 900 to 1 7,000.-
900.
Gov. Devine strongly recommends
the passage of some form Of a primary
election law.
The prohibitory law, the governor
says, has undoubtedly been reasonably
successful. He says: =.
"That the principle of h law is still
dominant must be conceded, and the
people remain firm in the determine
ton that prohibition must continue the
order of the state, as they remain
equally firm in their faith that the
pledges Of the Republican party will be
kept. I am aware the law is violated
in very many places. but this argues
( nothing for it's repeal. The same may
be said Of the law against burglary and
other graver crimes, yet none desire
their modification"
The serious illness of Gov. Fancher,
during his term Of office. says the
governor, was a matter Of the deepest
regret to the people of the entire state.
Recent reports indicate his rapid re-
covery, and he hopes to be able to re-
turn to the state, fully recovered, by
the early spring.
Ir conclusion, the governor says:
II earnestly hope that your united
efforts may be crowned with success.
That you will accomplish much is the
hope of those who have honored you
of those you will honor-if. when your
work is done. the Great Master Of All.
the Architect and Builder of that sys-
TEN of divine laws whose chief inter-
prefer is the conscience of man, pro-
rounces it Well done.'"

The following telegram from Bourges:
s'In the course of a recent visit of the
minister of war to the military estab-
lishments of Bourges experiments were
made with a new gun, the inventor Of
which is Capt. Tournic, of the Artil-
lery, who is attached to the foundry
here. This weapon is of great power,
and is worked on very ingenious sup
ports. invented by M. Battaille. Ex-
periments were also made with tlium1-

One of the ~pleasantest features OF the
recent New York state conference OF
charities and correction was the num-
Der of young men whose work IN the

prominent figures in the convention.

other noble charities were represented

The establishment of an American
bank at Calcutta, backed by abundant
capital and able business men, is a
suggestive incident in the history of
india and America. As an illustration
of our rapidly growing trade with the
East, it is stated that one American
house alone, interested in this enter
prise, has more than one hundred
agents In India. ami has at all times
merchandise to the value of almost one
million dollars in transit. Americas
part in the business of all Oriental
countries seems destined henceforth to
be a leading one, and to meet the re-
quirements of these new conditions.
American banking houses will newt.
ably follow the cargo and the flag.

IRRIGATION AND FORESTRY.

The Office of superintendent of ir-

omission from the code of 1895 but has
held to be in force and l recommend
that it be repealed by specific act and
that the duties be assigned to the 'ag-
ricultural college where the facilities at
command of that institution will permit
of a more extensive and complete line
of work without additional cost to the
state.

PUBLIC PRINTING.
The last legislative assembly limited
the amount of public printing to $780,
600, but failed in any way. to modify the
laws in order to bring it within that
amount, and in addition authorized the
publication of the revised code OF 1899.
Under the present law all the state OH
GERS are required to make biennial reports
to the governor. These reports the law
requires to be printed. They are in most
cases largely copies of public records and
a summary would present the informa-
ton in a more accessible and convenient
form for the public use. A provision
that such a summary may be printed IN
place of the entire report would reduce
the cost to some extent. The number
of these reports might be largely reduced
and still meet all demands.
LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES.
The clerk hire and expenses of the
legislative assembly is a matter that is
closer to you perhaps than any Other.
i desire to call your attention to this
question and compare the expenses Of
the different sessions. In the session Of
1901 the clerk hire amounted to $1,000;
the usual amount Of business was done;
there were c~lerkssenough and to spare.
To my own, knowledge in that session
We had clerks who did no work except
sign the payroll. The total expenses
Of that session, including committee
rooms. was $4,000. Clerks were then =
paid 81 more per day than now. So 4
seems to me that the expenses Of thi:
assembly should not exceed $4,000. Il
you proceed according to the laws upon
the statues in this matter i will BE
considerably less than $5o,ooo.s The state

WILL MOVE TO ANACONDA
Henry B. Hoffman Will Serve as
County Commissioner For
Deer Lodge.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Oct. 4.-According to the
Silver State Of Deer Lodge, Henry B.
Hoffman, who was elected as county
commissioner for Deer Lodge county on
the republican ticket last fall, is about
to remove to Anaconda to take up his
residence and will assume his duties as
commissioner on the first Monday in
next month when the terms of the men,
bers of the present board expire.
This is good news to the people of
Deer Lodge county as 1t was feared Mr..
Hoffman would not serve since the coun-
ty wasdivide after last falls election
and his home was left in the segregated
PORTION now known as Powell county.
Mr.. Hoffman has leased his beautiful
ranch near Deer Lodge in order to serve
the people who elected him to Office.
Just what Mr.. Geary, who was also
elected commissioner will do. remains
to be seen. He was also left in Powell
county after the division was made. 1t
is said. however, that he does not in
tend to serve, as he has business inter-
ests in Powell county which need his
attention and the emo,uments Of the
Office would not justify him in neglect
ing them.
Should Mr.. Geary resign, vancancy
would then exist on the board and it
would become the duty of Judge Napton
to appoint a suitable person to fill the
position.
William Kelliher is the third member
OF the board elected last fall.

1t will be seen from the foregoing fig
urec that the increase in attendance last
month was 391 more than the correspond
ing period a year ago and 209 more than
the largest previous enrolment which, in
the year 1898, was 1859.
From reports received from the prin-
cipals of the several school buildings,
Sult. Koontz announces the enrolment
divided among them as follows: Central,
1872; Lincoln, 939; Prescott, 290; Bryan,
313; Commercial avenue, So; Carroll Al;
West End, IA Mil Creek, Is. Total 1886.
The Lincoln school is the worst crowd
ed of all, some rooms containing as high
as 1C0 pupils each. This congested con-
dition will be somewhat relieved next
week as the carpenters have about COM
pleted the work of preparing several
rooms in the basement for occupancy.
Heretofore these rooms were not used
only for storage purposes; they We're news
CIR COMPLETED, in fact, up to this year,
were not needed.
There is some talk of building an ad
dition to the Central school building and
the board may conclude to provide for
more room in that manner. The matter
may be discussed at the meeting of the
school board tonight.

Both affidavits say that Gordon first
demanded $50, and when he got only $40,
said he would be back the next night for
the other forty and if it was not paid
him he would run the Howard woman
in, and did so.
Both women swear that on Sept. %
and 20, when Gordon came to demand
the money and later made the arrest, he
was intoxicated.
Formal charges against Gordon will

lege Will Meet Antagonists From
That City Next Sunday.
(S'pecial to Inter Mountain)

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Oct. 4.-Next Sunday, Octo-
Der 6, the football team Of the Anaconda
Business college will go to Butte to play
a team from the business college in that
city.
The local team has been practicing
hard for the past two weeks and feels
confident Of success The practice has
been extremely beneficial, for the reason
that the boys have second eleven to
buck against and have a scrimmage
practice every evening.
The lineup of the team that will play
in Butte is as follows: Falk, center;
Bryan, left guard; Plunket, right guard !;
Showers left tackle; ]. Sullivan, right
tackle; Marchion, left end; Leonard,
right end; E. Rhue, left half; Bernier,
right half; Blank, fullback; I. Keig,

William johnson, the new athletic in
structor for the Twentieth Century club,
has arrived in the city from California
and was introduced to the members last
night. He favors the organization of a
track team and the construction of a
handball court al some future time.
The new instructors long suit Is in the
manly art of self defense. He Is said to
be one of the most efficient teachers OF
boxing in the west and mas boxed with
both Fitzsimmons and Corbett.
With such an instructor the Twentieth
Century Athletic club will no doubt de-
velop some excellent athletes, as several
of the members are already extraor-
dinarily good in the sprinting and box
ing line.
For a time this fall it was the inten-
ton of the club to put representative
football team in the field, but the mat
ter has finally been dropped.

Sunday

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Anaconda, Oct. AT midnight next
Saturday new time card will go into
effect on the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific
railway, supplanting the one put in force

tory to the public on account of the can
collation. of an evening train to and from
Butte. It was likewise unsatisfactory to
the management of the road after a few
days trial.

ficiencies and meet all requirements, and
close connections will be made with
trains arriving and departing from
Butte, silver Bow and Stuart.

$3.50 a. M, and $40 p. m. Arrive at
Butte $3.50 a. nn., $3.50 and 1880 p. m.
