POWIR OPPOSES DIVISION.
The Northern Montana Statesman Says
Another District is Unnecessary.

Hon. 7. G. Power, who returned to
Helena yesterday. expressed himself
to n River Press reporter as being
very emphatically opposed to the
passage of the pending bill for the
creation OF the Twelfth judicial dis
trict. He says that the new district
is not needed and that il will entail
an entirely unnecessary expense upon
the taxpayers. In support of his
position that the measure Is solely In
the interest of those who will draw
the salaries provided for, Mr.. Power
has collected figures showing that
Chutcau county'scourteXpenses have
increased from Sll goa in 1895 and
Sll,0Tl in 1899 to S23,2I6 in 1900.
These show the already gricvous
burden placed upon the property
owners In this connection, and the
experience oi Lewis aud Clarke cOun-
ty, In whichcUurt expenses, withtwO
courts, amounted To ABOUT SJo,OVU
last year, demonstrates that there il
no economy in the multiplication Of
Judges. In that county the taNpny-
ers are doing all they n To keep
down expenses and find courtchnrges
one Of the greatest hinderunces to
their efforts.
Mr.. Power says that one Judge can
easily handle the legal business of
this district and. that the excuse Of
fcred that judicial salaries are paid
by the state, and not by the district,
does not alter the fact that In the
last analysis Choteau county must
pay its full share OF the penalty for
every increase OF the cost OF state
government.

The proposed new road law, the text
of which appears in this issue, is a great
departure from anything previously
tried in Montana. Paced on the statute
books it would give the residents of
each road district complete control Of
their affairs and would place upon
themselves all the responsibility for
good roads and the entire burden Of
doing the work. This scheme has it,
disadvantages. In some sections of all
counties there are people whose sole
desire is To accumulate wealth and who
are cheesc-paring in their general cy-
penditures. Unless y lively interest is
taken in road matters these men might
control and the roads would soon he
come neglected and unfit for travel.
Also heavy expenditures might become
absolutely necessary, owing To result
Of floods or accidents, yet the people Of
the district, not feeling able To bear the
expense. would vote against the neces-
sary expenditures and the work would
go undonc. On The other hand. were
the law enacted. one district would not
be contributing Ia the expense Of work

bill IS the provision which prohibits the
trustees from having any prcuuiary
interest in the work To be- lone. while
their fees are placed at a maXimum Of
Sl5 per year. The result of this would
be that people who knew enough about
road work to take a contract, or do Il
days work, would he debarrcd from
accepting the position of trustee by
eason Of personal loss and it would lie
difficult to secure good men for the posi-
tions. While it would never doto allow
these trustees to cover all the money
into their pockets. yet there should be
some induccmcnt offered for good, com.
petent men TO accept the place of
trustees. The end sought TO be- attained
by the law-local government good
and with some SLIGHT amendments
should be enacted.

A ROYAL MARRIAGE.
Hollands Queen Joined to the Man Of Her
Own Choice.

Own Choice.
The Hague, Feb. 7.-Queen Wilhel,
mIna's marriage to Duke Henry oI
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., who today
became Prince Heinrich OF the Neither
lands, was n huge family affair. Al
Holland that could came to The
Hague to participate. Those who
stayed at their homes in other cities
and villages Of the kingdom celebrated
with parades, decorations and ban.
quets.
Never was seen n more beautiful
and happy wedding. The popular
belief Is that Il was n love match,
like that Of Victoria and Albert, and
this gives n romantic cOloring To the
event, which is generally lacking in
royal marriages.
The ceremonies were the same sim
pie and unritun'istic rites OF the Re-
formed church by " hich the humblcst
81 Queen Wilhelmina's subjects are
married. The whole spirit Of the
affair was plain and Democratic, n
though the costly gowns and jewels
and the snowy uniforms Of the dis
tinguished personalities Of the high
officials oi the kingdom, the military
aud navy and representatives Of the
people in parliament and the munich
pals furnished n fine stage setting.
The venerable pastor administered to
the bile and groom n caution that
their high positions would not shield
them from the common sutferings
and sorrows Of humanity. Queen
Wilhclmina made a very winningand
human bride. She blushcd and be.
came confused over the ceremony
with the ring, as all brides are sup
posed to du, while her happiness and
pride over the enthusiasm Of her pco-
pie were plainly deeper than n mere
matter Of form.
Prince Heinrich was M awkward
but manly figure. Either he was
furgetful or bndly trained in thepnrt,
for the pastor had to give him two
or three hints rs to how to carry
himself. Those sitting near enough
to hear the responses describe him as
saying: "Jah, mein herr" when he
should simply have replied, "Jah."
The scene as the royal couple stood
with claspcd hands before the chap
lain In a circle of brilliantly arrayed
p~crsonuges, including British rela-
tivcs and people composing the high
est families OF Holland and thcneigh-
boring German principalitles, was
wonderfully gorgeous, the masses of
variegated colOrs rendering more
effective the blue, gold and white
banked MP against the walls of the
church. The building itself IL a
cathedral in size, but Is as plain ~ IA
Quaker meeting house In furnishings.
Tonight the p0pulacc Is like a multi.
tuic Of happy children.
Thousands are swarming through
the principal streets, which arcncarly

the national hymn, following the
bands aud smashing hats and Inn

hilarity inspired 10y wine, but no
offensive drunkenness. Sailors, fish

quaint costumes and n few soldiers
are mixing with the crowds.

killed by the senate after a spirited
debate and that body also indein,
itely postponed the Lannln company
store bill which had passed the
house. But this measure Ii consid.
cred a party pledge by the Democrats
and last night il was reported that
1t would be resurrected and passed
in some amended form. The sena.
tors did not like its sweeping provL
sions ana made short work of 1t.
The house committee, to which
was referred the woman sufiragebill
reported it without recommendation
and 1t Is on general orders.
The house has passed bills provid-
ing for the bonding Of justices Of the
pence aud constablcs, for paying

sens school bill allowing districts to
levy n special tax Of ten mills or less.
The senate gave favorable action to
bills providing for the repeal OF the
tax on state banks, for the regular
inspection Of bonds ofcuunty officers,
for repeal Of all exemptions OF bach
clors and limiting Judgment eXemp-
tiOns only Ia heads OF families.
Bills providing that the charge OF
the court in civil and criminal cases
shall be given to the Jury before the
argument or counsel, have passed
both houses.
An entirely new departure in road
legislation has appeared in both
house and senate. The statute is
copied after the California law and
provides for a board Of trustees in
each district Of the county who shall
he elected by the people of the dis
trict, shall have entire charge ofroad
work In their district and shall col
lect the per capita tax and expend
the same and make whatever tax
levy shall be deemed necessary. The
bills are now In committee. III en-
acted the plan is to not have the bill
go into effect until March, 1902.
As result OF the public hearing
given Monday to the people favoring
and opposing licensed gambling, the
committee Of the senate which had
the Tierney bill In hand, reported
favorlng the indefinite postponment
of that measure and the enactment
Of a substitute measure. The latter
Is intended as one reducing the pen
atty from a felony to II misdemeanor
but to many ii appears so loosely
and cunningly drawn as to amount
to n dead letter ii placed on the
statute books. While owners and
employees are prohibited from con-
Quoting gambling, dealers anI play
ers are purposely omitted. A bill
may pass amending the present law
so a. To reduce the oiicnse to a mis-
demeanor but IL is hardly believed
such a travesty will be enacted as
the measure proposed by that senate
committee.
Bills are being introduced daily in
both houses but IL the time limit Of
the Legislative sitting slortens the
work increases and few bills intro
duced after this time will have any
chance OF enactment.

NEEDS OF ERIE CANAL,
Modern Business Methods Necessary
to Make It's Operation
Profitable

Maj. Thomas w. Symons, of the
corps of United States engineers, has
prepared an interesting paper for the
American Society of Civil Engineers
on the Canals from the Lakes to
New York, in which he says in part:
The decline in traffic on the Erie
canal is due to very many causes, the
principal ones being that it is not in
any manner up-to-date; that the tow
ing is still being done on it largely
by horses and mules. and business
has never been organized and con-
Quoted on modern lines. 1t has been
seriously handicapped by the fact
that improvements have been under
taken and discussed which would rem
der the old type and size of boats
obsolete, rendering it inadvisable as a
business propositions for people to build
new boats for canal business or to re-
place those outworn, with the possi-
bility before them of a larger canal
in the near future
THAT the traffic on the Erie canal
has declined is true, but it would i'm
mediately spring up and grow to
enormous dimensions if proper
barge canal We're built in it's place;
if legislative restrictions on the cap
ital OF operating transportation COM
panies were removed. and if the busi-
ness were organized in a thoroughly
up-to-date manner. It must not be
forgotten that if the Erie canal has
stood still. or worse than still, for the
last 80 years, the competing railroads
have improved their transportation
facilities enormously in. ways which
it is unnecessary to recount here

"A German musical savant has dlscOv-

if the constitution really does follow the
