The Attorneys Generals Opinion.

Attorney General Griggs will probably
make no recommendation as to the lowest
bidder. His intention now Is to submit
the papers to Congress and leave it to that
body to decide upon the additional appro-
pria ton.
Congress will also practically decide upon
the bidder by making an appropriation suf
fic'ent to cover a particular bid. The mar
BILE to be used and all the other facts will
b, left to Congress.
The Attorney General says there are too
many people ''meddling in the matter" and
somebody other than himself can have the
pleasure of wrestling with all the criti-
c:sm and difference of opinion that will
arise.

Helena. July 17.-According to an opin-
ion given the commissioners of Lewis
and Clarke county by Assistant Attor-
ney General Moore. failure to find men
who will act as road trustees at SOS per
year under the Geiger law, makes it in
cumbent upon the commissioners to act
as trustees for every district in the coun-
try until they can find men who will
serve.
Mr.. Moore says the law gives the COM
missioners full power to represent the
county, have the care of property and
manage Its affairs. while it is the duty
of the commissioners to use every effort
to carry out the Geiger law by the APP
pointment Of trustees, vet If this is who'll,
ly impossible. then clearly. 1t Is their
duty to administer the affairs of the
road districts until they can find quail
fed persons willing to serve.

The delegates will argue first, last and
all the time for Butte as the location for
the next convention. This city has every
advantage. in the way Of size. railroad
facilities, and most important OF all,
famous mines to show the wondering
delegates. There will doubtless be hard
fight, as Los Angeles. Spokane and sew
eral other cities are in the race. None
bf them offer anything to compare with
Butte in the way Of being true mining
center. and it is to be made the business
Of the Montana delegates to see to that
the votes, which will tell the tale in the
erd.
t All the delegates will carry their
grips filled with enthusiasm to spread
out before the congress as the product
of the Butte mines. They expect to
take the old town by storm when they
sweep down from their rocky aerie here
in the mountains, and perch on the
stmted hills of Boise.
Every honorable effort will be used
to secure the next convention for Butte"

Capt. A. ]. Fisk. ex-postmaster of

He will attend the street fair and carni-
val while in Butte: see the races at the
track and investigate the mysteries Of
the saucer bicycle racing as we'll as
the metropolitan attractions found only
in Butte.
But Helena will have the finest fed
eral building in the whole middle west"
said Mr.. Fisk. 1T will cost half more
than the one proposed for Butte, and
will be a real gem. AS Helena is the
state capital and all the state offices are
located there, provision will have to he
made for ample housing of them all.
All the departments of the federal gov.
eminent will be represented. and have
headquarters that are commensurate
with the Importance of the state Of
Montana.
Work on the new state capitol build
ing is progressing very WE'LL and the
state officers will be installed there this
year: at least, part of them will. The
building will not be entirely finished this
year. but there will be no special need
of that. and it can be finished up before

if it is possible. Why, the very idea Of
some Of those other places putting them
selves up for mining centers! We could
buy and sell the whole lot of them in
real mining Industries. Not one Of them
would give work for enough mines to
make a respectable suburb to Butte.
This is the place to come for mining
congress. and don't you forget 1t. And
everybody be ready to holler for US when
we return"
An effort will be made by the Oregon
Short Line road to have the convention
go in a body to the National Park. by
way Of Monida. AS the MOnida pas
sengers all come out of the Park by way
of Cinnabar. and around through Butte.

take them about week longer. and be

Minnesota; more. than will go from
farther west, of course. The convention
will be a notable gathering of the order.
THE Northwestern is doing great
passenger traffic business on all it's lines
this year. All the conventions and na>
tional gatherings in the central westr-
Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee and other
places. as we'll as Buffalo-have drawn
crowds of travellers.
I'VE do considerable freight business
from the west also, especially in the way
of wool shipments. A great deal or
what goes over the Northern Pacific 10
St. Paul is taken from there to Chicago
over the Northwestern lines. The Great

far as Buffalo, shipping by rail as far as
Duluth and then by water through the
great lakes
Mr. Gray is to have the assistance o.
H. w. Brown, late of ST. Paul. during
