There were many wild rumors
afloat, the most sensational being
that the negroes in kennebrew' S

lynched. A posse started with them
to the jail at Benton, turned back,
and later again started. Edwards, If

EIkin Renders Opinion on New Penn
sylvania Communication Law.

Harrisburg, June 14.-In an opinion
to Governor Stone, Attorney General
EIkin passes upon the constitutions
atty OF the recent Communication act
Of the legislature, regarding conyicts
in Pennsylvania. He says the legisla-
ture has power to enact such law and
It is apparent that all prisoners in
the state come under its provisions.
Mr.. Elkin holds that the act repeats
Ri former legislation, which conflicts
and takes the place Of the com,
imitation act Of May q, 1868.
AS to the federal prisoners in Penn
sylvania, he states there is no pro
vision in the new Communication act
which is applicable to them and Unit
ed States prisoners must, therefore,
look to congress and the president for
any shortening of their imprison-
mept

Attempt to Destroy a British Transport

A New Orleans dispatch says:
What IL regarded as an attempt of a
Boer sympathiser to blow up Brit
fish transport occurred shortly after
midnight last Saturday when a ter
rifle explosion occurred at the stock
landing, where the Harrison steamer
Mechanician IL moored.
The Mechanician' to carry mules
to South Africa. Most OF the crew OF
the ship were asleep but the explosion
brought them quickly from their
berths to the deck. An examination
showed that two plates at the water
edge had been sprung and consider
able water let into the ship. The
pumps were Immediately put to work
and when daylight came, IL was
found that the ship was in no danger
of sinking and that the damage done
was not serious. The crew Of the ves-
sci deny that there are any explosives
on board and there seems little doubt {
according to the statements of those
who examined the ship. that the ex-
plosion was from the outside and
that some sort OF bomb or torpedo
had been used.

CHOIEAU COUNTY ASSESSMENT.
Railroad Valuation Raises the Total 70
Nearly Seven Millions.
IGreat Falls Trlbune.l

Fort Benton, Aug. S.-The annual
assessment OF Choteau county has
been finally completed and equalized
and totals up SO, 795, ,439 with the rail-
road valuation, or S5,3l6,55O without
1t. There Is the usual steady increase
In lands, but the item OF range cattle
shows n decrease of i,452 head from
last year, due to the loss of about
5000 head, which have been moved
out OF the county owing to short
range.
Ranch property and improvements
total up S9O4,6S4, OF which the land
itself is valued at 1854, ,9i9. Its acre
age Is 209,S3S. The value OF improve
ments on land other than city and
town real estate is very small per
acre. Its total is only $369,735 and
that includesimprovements on leased
lands and land not yet proved upon,
making an estimated total OF easily
SOC, 900 acres. The value OF improve
ments, including fences, Is thus only
about $l.35 per acre. The patented
lands are classified as first-class,
2S,SlS acres; secOnd-class, $1,000
acres; and OF the latter S4,670 acres
are not even fenced. These figures
show forcibly that agriculture In
Northern Montana has not reached a
very high development.
City and town lots and the i'm
provements thereon are figured at
$478 ,929. making a total real estate
assessment OF 81 .1S1 ,95l.
Personal property, OF which live
stock forms far the largest proper
tion, is assessed at a total OF $780,

MAPS BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Embracing Montana and Many Western
States-Can be Procured at Nom
inai Cost.

A number OF typographical maps
have lately been issued by the United
States geological survey which rep
resent several different states and
territories and gives besides the ordl.
nary features of rivers towns and
roads, also exhibits the relief Of the
country by means Of contours and
lines running through points ofequal
elevation.
The Hamilton Quadrangle of Mon
tana, includes a portion OF the Bitter
root mountains, which form a part
OF the border between Idaho and
Montana. 1t is an exceedingly wild
and unirequented region, and with
the adjoining territory, has been set
apart as the Bitterroot Forest Re
serve. The section included is re-
markable for q series OF narrow and
almost perfectly straight canyons,
which are admirably depleted on the
map.
The Chelan Quadrangle. In central
Washington, shows the Typography
OF the lofty mountain wilderness
about the shores Of the southern por'
tion OF the beautiful mountain en-.
closed lake OF that name, which Ia
one of the senic features Of the west;
and the Ellens Quadrangle OF the
same state, gives an idea OF the
mountainous country about, and to
the southwest OF that town.
The three Wyoming sheets are In
teresting; they are In Nawcastle,
Cloud Peak and Dayton Quadran-
giles. The first gives the region lying
about Newcastle, on the western
slopes OF the Black Hills country.
The second covers part OF the Big
Horn Mountains and the Forest Re-
serve OF the same namein the vicinity
of Cloud Peak, and Is OF special In
terest as exhibiting four distinct gla.
ciers on the sides Of this mountain,
which has an altitude of 49, ,l65 feet.
The Dayton sheet shows with great
clearness the bluff eastern escape
ment OF that section OF the Rocky
Mountain Range.
OF special interest also from an ed
ucational standpoint is the Mount
Lyell, California sheet. The country
1t covers IL In the very heart OF the
Sierra Nevadas, and includes part ol
the Yosemite National Park and the
lower end OF lake Mono. A number
OF the rugged Sierra peaks are to bt
found, and the series OF profound can
yons which have made this region
famous. The celebrated Mono era
ters, the remains Of extinct volcanic
action; several changing valleys o
the Rush Creek Canyon, are also tC
be found, as well as the Mt. Lyel
Glacier, the Conness Mountain, Dana
Mountain, and Park Creek Glaciers
remnants uf the great ice sheet whicl
formerly covered this section, and ar,

Oh the minor items which go to
make up the personal property list
the largest is that OF bank stocks,
solvent credits and deposits, which is
put at $2O2,S5s.
The railroad assessment, not in
cluding buildings, was 81 AZ, ,S19 in
1900 and this year is 81 AIS, $50.
1t will be seen from the above that
Choteau county Is progressing surely
and steadily, especially In view Of the
increase in valuation year after year,
in good times and bad. An analysis
will show that, despite the craze for
land, the per centage of "dead" prop.
erty is not large compared to the
live stock which has to pay the
profits on the whole.
