of a pocket notebook, five inches by

newspaper accounts OF his speeches that

for his friend, Capt. James N. Brown,
who was stumping Illinois, in order that
there might be NO misunderstanding
about Lincoln's position on the negro
question. 1.-The following extracts,
writes Lincoln, ''are taken from various

FUNDS FOR THE CELEBRATION

1t is expected that the committee on
finance for the Fourth of July celebra-
ton will be in attendance at the meet
ing of the city council this evening and.
make request for a donation with
which to start preparations for observ-
ing the day. Although it is claimed the
council has no legal authority to make
such donation, it has been a custom for
number of years to do so, and the
probabilities are the present council will
acceded to the demand. ~
The county commissioners will be re-
quested to make a donato to the COM
mittee for the same celebration, and in
this way it is hoped by those in charge
OF the arrangements, to start the SUBJ
scription with which to insure a good
time on the Fourth.
President Newbro of the committee
states that the work of perfecting ar
engagements should be we'll under way
al the present time, and that the COM
mittee will be kept busy from now get
ting matters in shape for the celebra-
ton. The fact that the street carniva al
comes short time after the Fourth
tends to lessen the interest the citizens
of Butte will take in the National day,
but the officials of the celebration say
they will furnish as good time as Butte
people have seen on any Independence
day.

Road Across Montana Land,
Especial to Inter Mountain

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Helena, June 1o.-The board of state
land commissioners this morning d.
verged from the line laid down at the
instance of Attorney General Donovan
by granting Chouteau county a right
of way across state land for a road
from Chinook to the boundary, accord
ing to a survey made by the county sur
veyOr.
1t was shown that the road would cost
$4,000 or $500 if built along the section
lines, as required by the. rule of the
board, while by the surveyed route the
cost will be insignificant.
The county is to pay the state $500
for the right of way and build a legal
wire fence along it, which is to become
the property of the lessee Of the state
land.
The board passed resolutions that as
the sale of the Powell county bonds to
Thomas Cruise without giving the state
treasurer the first option. was made in
ignorance of the law the board will
waive it's state right. the waive to date
back to April &c. the date of the sale.
