ANOTHER LAW GONE.

Senate Bill No. 101 was knocked on
the head yesterday by the supreme
court. The measure provided for few
innovations on the rules Of the high
est court in the state and bound the
Judges who sit at the capital to observe
the whims of the Legislature in matter
which concerned routine court pro-
ceedings, For convenience sake the SUI
preme court decided long ago that briefs
snd transcripts on appeal must be
printed instead of typewriter or
scratched off with a pen. The legisla-
ture, with fine disregard for judicial
opinions, passed a bill permitting trans
cripts on appeal to be typewriter. This
law was squarely opposed to the
courts rules and when the matter came
before that august body. as it did yes
terday in an appeal from the Seventh
district, it was promptly knocked out.
The Montana public was long ago i'm
pressed with the fact that the attorney
general was not the supreme court by
any means and 1t is being made plain
that the legislature lacks considerably
of being able to tell constitutional law
E,hen 1t sees one. One by one the en-
aotanents Of last winters legislature are
falling by the wayside. The impress
sion deepens that in several notable in
stances the last legislature got the cart
before the horse.

Today's furry of snow ushers In the
first real wintery day that Montana's
high elevations have seen this year. AS

vations and the snow-fed streams will
not lack for water for irrigation purposes
next year. This desire to have the
states highlands stocked with snow puts
Butte on the list of repositories for
storing water for the lowlands. AS one
of the highest points in the state Sill

ever snow is going.

the SEASONS MINING.

Prospectors returning from the hills
Of the state report that the close of the
seasons search for mineral shows very
satisfactory results. In nearly every
mineral producing section of Montana
new discoveries have been made, i'm
provements have been pushed forward
and fresh hope inspired. Mining in the
modest way that is the fashion where
ten-stamp mill is used has been profit
able, the dredges have scooped up sat-
isfactory amount of gold and the print
tive placer workings have given good
returns. In the larger properties ad-
vances have been made in saving the
particles of mineral and the efforts in
this direction have met with rewards
that indicate still further progress in
this direction next year. Miners Of
Montana, whether employees. leasers or
owners, have had a season of prosperity
since the beginning of active operations
in the hills. No other state in the west
compares in any respect with the vast
wealth-producing area that has won for

the power and prestige Of the United
States. There are none, however, who
will deny that the next decade holds out
promise to the western portion of the
Union that is undeniably bright. The

of the Western states is far greater than
that of any other section. In Montana.
in the last decade, it was SAL per cent.
The states Of the great Northwest are
the only divisions of the Union which
may hope to be represented in the next
census by startling totals. Not even the
technical knowledge of the director gem
eral can forecast the tremendous in
crease in population that will be made
by the Western states in the next de-
cade. The prospects for Montana are
brighter than can be found elsewhere
and it may be confidently predicted
that the showing made in the next
census enumeration will be something to
boast Of.

garian brigands is impending.
On the contrary, get outside of a feel
ing of safety, because the whistling will
mean that Police Sergeant Dawson and
one or more Of his brave officers are
near.
Because. beginning with last night,
the sergeant. under orders from his
superiors. has adopted a new method
of signaling and finding his men. The
old system of rapping with clubs has
been abandoned.
Hereafter, when the sergeant wants to
find a policeman. he will blow one blast
on his police whistle. When the police
man awakens, he will answer with short
blasts. thus informing the sergeant that
he is ready for business and can be
found In certain location.
This system will necessarily create
some little noise, but it will be a reas-
surfing noise.

CONFIDENT PREDICTIONS.

A prediction is announced by the direc-
tor general of the census to the effect
that the United States will contain 100.
900 900 Inhabitants when the enumeration
of nine years hence is made. The pre-
diction if we may judge from evidences
now at hand, seems likely to be made
good. The figures of the last census
show an average gain of q per cent
over the previous enumeration. Figuring
upon an approximation of 100000 pec-
pie for the United States, including
Alaska and Hawaii, the prospect of
reaching the 100,000,O00 mark for that
part of the Union embraced within the
divisions named is bright. The popula-
ton of the Philippines is not far from
10000, 900, and in Porto Rico will be
found 100000 more. Taken altogether
there is not much doubt that the next
census will reach and pass the 100000. 900

ONE GOOD RESULT.

One beneficial result of the Schley
court of inquiry has been seen by the
readers of the press reports who have
gained a clearer idea Of the battle in
Santiago harbor from the testimony of
naval officers on the stand. After the
accounts read soon after the battle had
been disputed the public was somewhat
at sea and unable to tell what really
took place when Cervera's fleet rushed out
and was met promptly by the concen-
trated fire of the ships in the American
squadron. In the actual fighting the
two American vessels, the Brooklyn and
the Oregon did the greatest execution,
and the presence of the Texas, Iowa and
Indiana was of use principally in making
a show of force in the face of the Span
ish squadron that resulted in the enemy
choosing to make running fight in
stead of aggressive battle. The fact
that only one fatality occurred in the
ranks of American seamen, the death of
Norman Ellis, is the more remarkable
when the battle is seen through the de-
scriptions given by the men on the wit
ness stand before the inquiry board. The
engagement was one of the fiercest naval
fights in history. and surely there was
glory enough for all in the victory won
on that remarkable day. History will
profit from the evidence of the inquiry
board and the account of the last strug-
gle made to maintain Spanish supremacy
will receive additional interest by rea-
son of the stories of the fighting told by
witnesses and actual participants
| on board the vessels taking the principal
| parts in the engagement.

the CLOUD IS LIFTING.

That there is an existing need of a
curtailment of the copper production is
q matter to be regretted on account of
the number of good men temporarily
thrown idle, but there is not the slight
est occasion for alarm, since the depres-
sion cannot possibly last long. 1t is
quite certain that of all the men inter-
ested in copper production those mos,
anxious to resume operations are the
mine owners themselves. They can not
make a dollar by closing their mines.
Their only hope in closing them is to
prevent a smash in prices. and that re-
suit will soon be assured. The very
early consequence will be the resumption
Of operations and the increase of the
output to the limit of the market ca
pacity at II cents. In this respect the
interests Of capital and labor are the
same. A high price for copper means to
the copper producer and his employees
the same that high price for wheat
means for the farmer and his help-gOod
profit and good wages for both. In the
present situation the market shows daily
improvement, and the self-interest of the
companies now limiting their output will
induce them to increase it at the earliest
moment consistent with common sense
The business men of Butte feel no APP
prahension on this score. They fully
understand that the law of supply ana
demand is memorable, and that nothing
but business necessity based on condi-
lions OF international trade, which no
man nor set of men can control, has
brought about the present limitation OF
production. AS the copper surplus dis
appears, production will be resumed, and
they who can comprehend what a large
proportion of the total is supplied by
Butte can readily understand how brief
the present period of curtaiiment Is
likely to be. Had the Michigan COM
panies consented to pro rata reduction
the proportionate effect in Butte would
have been scarcely appreciate.
The consoling fact of the situation Is
that the mines of Butte never looked
50 we'll as now, and that the prospects
for both the old companies and new ones
were never so bright as now. Butte IS
steadily forging ahead to the 100000
population mark.

The following is taken from Organized
Labor, the organ of the Building Trades
Council of San Francisco, which has
come out strongly against trades union
ism in politics:
But of all the rocks and reefs that en-

ROLLING THE BONES.
Three Colored Men Charged With the
Ohense of Shooting Craps.

This morning in Judge McClernan's
court Deputy County Attorney Yancey
filed an information against three COL
ored men, Harvey Holmes, William
Jackson and James Jefferson, charging
them with gambling, for an alleged in
diligence in the game of craps.
The information states that the de-
PENDANTS played craps FOR money in the
building at 1928 South Arizona street.

the building a few nights ago.
The defendants will be brought into
court tomorrow morning for arraign-

MODERN MARvflS or TRAVEL.

Beginning with November s, a new
transportation service across the CONT
nent will make it possible for a traveller
to board a train in New York, and. with
out changing cars, arrive in San Fran
cisco after four nights on the road This
train, corresponding in land travel to
the modern fve-day steamer OH the
ocean, will be the highest mark yet set
by railroading. For luxury and speed it
will eclipse all former methods of land
transportation. 1t will represent the
perfection of American ingenuity in de-
visirg elegance and convenience to take
away the discomforts of long railway
journeys.
There is now building on the Pacific
coast a line of steamers which will
convey grain to Japan and China. They
are designed to carry their tonnage in
safety to the markets of the Orient with
such speed and economy that hundred
pounds OF grain can be moved by rail
from Montana to the coast and thence
to trans-Pacific ports at less expense
than it cost but few years ago to
freight the same amount of grain from
the valley of the Jefferson into Mon
tanas capital city.
Such and so varied have been the
improvements made in passenger and
freight transportation while the devel-
opment of the western portion Of the
country has been going forward that it
seems but yesterday since the incon-
venienee of early-day transportation was
removed aud supplanted by modern facil-
tiles. 1t is plain that the halcyon days
Of the border are gone. The death SEN
tence of the frontier is written in every
line of the record telling of improvement
in means Of transportation. From the
time when the overland train stopped to
allow the herds of buffalo to cross the
track the West has progressed until dis
lance is cast out of the calculations of
business affairs and the two oceans are
separated by fewer hours Of travel than
interviewed between neighboring frontier
towns a few decades ago.
In the outlook presented by the
changes that have been brought about
by improved means Of transportation
may be seen much that is cause for con-
graduation to the West.
