BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDlTO RS
Malta is Blamed for Robbery.


Things have transpired in the last few
few days which shows very plainly that
the Great Northern Express company
blames Malta to certain extent for the
robbery of the train on the third of
July.
Last Tuesday evening Sheriff Griffith
returned from the chase and went to
Glasgow and Culbertson and organized
a posse to so after the robbers. On
Wednesday messages were received by
Judge Wilson, purporting to come from
Sheriff Griffith, to get all the men and
horses possible to accompany him.
Later in the day he was instructed to
hold all the men he had but not to hire
any more, as they had already secured
enough
The judge hustled artAlnd and got
men, horses, saddles and guns, also Sc
cured a wagon load of provisions, which
he started on the road to Winters ranch
where the posse is to overtake them.
The special train with the men and
horses from the east arrived about one
o'clock Thursday morning, with Supt.
Stewart on board, along with Sheriff
Griffith.
AS soon as they arrived, supt. Stewart
told our men that they We're not wanted,
that he did not care a g. d. for what
the people of Malta would think about
it and that the Great Northern Express
company was not looking for g d
thing from this town.
Judge Wilson took him to task about
the matter, whereupon Mr.. Stewart
Gained down little bit, but still per-
sisted in throwing dirt in the face of the
citizens of Malta, for which he will very
| likely be held in ever lasting remem-
! brance.
| It is evident by the reports we hear
| and by the actions of the officials of the
| express company that some one has
| grossly misrepresented the people o1
| Malta to such an extent that the express
company has branded the whole com.
munity as band of cut threats, unfit
| even to hunt train robbers.
1t is true that there is here at GER
| tain times bad characters, and that
there are things existing in Malta which
90 no credit to any town, but while this
IS so it is no worse than other towns
along the line. Probably Malta needs q
! rebuke along certain lines, but one
| thing is certain, the Great Northern Elk
press company has shown a bad spirit
in casting insults at it's respectable citi
zens.
There is no citizen of Malta who hai
anything to do with the robbery. Tit
gang that held up the train had no
been around this place, to the knowledge
of any one living here, prior to the da,
of the robbery.
Whatever may be the faults Of tn
people living in the neighborhood wher
the Curry gang holds out, it is certain
they have not been harbored arount
Malta, and our people should not b
blamed for their depredations.
Some of our men are inclined to blam
Sheriff Griffith for the way they wer
treated but the sheriff is not to blam
in our opinion. and nothing should b
charged up to him, when it is pretty Ger
tain that the express company is actin
in the spirit Of revenge. So far as W
can learn Mr.. Griffith was willing t
take the men along, but Supt. SteWar
| would not permit him.
Let the blame rest on the parties tina
cast the insults.-Malta Enterprise.

Butte as a Money Center.

Few residents of Butte appreciate to
what extent men of means in this COM
munity are interested in the mining de-
velopment of other mining districts in
this and other states.
The first big mines to be opened in the
Occur dAlenes fifteen years ago were
owned by Butte men, liz: Patrick

John Noyes, H. L. Frank, Marcus DAILY,

with abundant promise Of success.
Butte money is behind two of Nevadas
most valuable propositions, one of them
near Reno, having a 150-ton smelter
just blown in. The mines of the COM

figure among the big dividend payers OF
the Sage Brush state.
Butte money has brought into proml.

COTTON MILL INSURANCE.
North Carolina Active in Organization of Mill
Mutuals
(From the Southern and Western Textile
Excelsior.)

(From the Southern and Western Textile
Excelsior)
The lack of organization among South
ern cotton manufacturers, especially
along the lines of insurance, is a matter
of surprise.
They sit quietly by and each year see
laragc amount of money carried North
by insurance companies, when a consid-
cradle portion of it could easily be re-
turned to the mills. Some attempts have
been made by cotton manufacturers TO
operate mutual companies, but they have
been in a small way and have not accom-
phshed great deal
North Carolina is an example of what
a well organized mutual company could
save.
The valuation of the mill property in
North Carolina is given as about 49,.
600 600
We will assume that it is insured only
for two-thirds value, or $4,000, 900. The
average rate paid is above 20 cents but
at a % cent rate the total amount of in
surance premiums paid each year by
North Carolina mills amounts to $125, 000
We are reliably informed that the cot
ton mill fire losses in North Carolina for
the last fifteen years have not averaged
over $4,000 per year and that the highest
loss for any year was 81 800.
The difference between $4,000 and $685.
600 would after deducting the salaries
and expenses, leave quite nice dividend
to be returned to the mills.
Is this not a matter worthy of the
consideration of some of our prominent
manufacturers?
The Southern mills are for the most
part well equipped with the best fire pro-
lection and the moral surroundings are
of the highest order. The risk of in
surfing them is small and the profits large.
The insurance of boilers must, or
course, be left to some reliable company,
such as the Hartford, as systematic and
regular inspections are necessary; but
there is no reason why insurance on the
mills and on cotton cannot be carried
mutually by Southern manufacturers.

A WONDERFUL NUMBER.

Fourteen noted writer's were sent by
The Cosmopolitan Magazine to the PAN
American Exposition to study the most
interesting features with view to pre-
pairing the most beautiful souvenir of any
Exposition ever made, from both liter
airy and an artistic standpoint. To ''Mr
Dooley' was committed the case of the
Midway. Judge Robert Grant went from
Boston to give bird 's-eye view of the
Exposition in his own most delightful
style. Albert Shaw and Nicholas Muir
ray Butler studied the value of the Ex-
position. and it's educational influence.
Charles Y. Turner, to whom was commit
ted the color scheme of the Pan-Ameri-
can, explains the methods by which he
has produced such marvellous results. Ar
thur Brisbane, in his own Incompatible
way, takes the Incubator Baby and Mia
CARA Falls for his subject. Director
General Buchanan contributes a very in
teresting paper on the organization of
the Exposition. Professor Pupin, Col.

Among the Railroads.

Taking the business of the railroads
as an indication of good or bad times
there seems to be statistical evidence
of continued prosperity in the country
! The Financial Chronicles compilation of
gross and net earnings for the half year
that ended on June 80 covers 179 roads,
operating 169,94S miles, or 80 per cent.
of the mileage of the country, as against
16O.7SO miles in 1900. Gross is reported
at $67S ,07O, 900 for the six months, as
compared with 1914, 525. 600 last year, the
increase of 500, $3.50, 900 being 1884 per
cent; while operating expenses amounted
to $465 1860, 900, as against $42S,750,0 O0 this
increase of $50, So 900 being S.54 per cent,
net earnings, thus standing at $212, 710,0 900.
as compared with $1S5, TIE, 000 the gain of
$26, 935,OO0 equaling 141a per cent. The
total of gross revenue has increased
without interruption since 1897, and of
net since 1894. With the exception o
the Mexican group of five roads, every
geographical group in the system shows
an increase this year in both gross re-
ceipts and net. The exhibit for June
compares we'll with that for the half
year as a whole, the indications thus
being ample that Industrial prosperity
continues.
Several Of our citizens who visited the
present terminus of Washington and Ply
mouth railroad Sunday, tell us the track
is laid within eight miles of town, to
what is known as the Open Dam Swamp.

pile driver, that drives piles twenty feet
ahead then the track is laid for it to

To Erect Another Silk Mill.

We learn, on excellent authority, that
the Ashley Bailey Company, of Paterson
New Jersey, the great silk manufactur-
ers, who are now operating large mill
in this city employing between three to
four hundred negroes, will shortly COM
mence the erection of another and larger
factory near the present mill. 1t is said
that the material has already been con-
tracted for.
The present mill of this company
which was erected about three years ago
to experiment with negro labor, has been
great success. From it's inception, the

whole nation, has been watching this ex-
pertinent in silk manufacture, the first

we know, with deep interest.
