LOCkEYING FOR POSITION

Like the calm which precedes the
bursting of the storm, the political
atmosphere of Montana is painfully
quiet The big ones are jockeying for
position and ere long they must be
off in the hard race of the campaign.
Two years ago Mr. Clark and Mr.
Heinze were engaged in a frantic eff
fort to throttle the so-called Standard
Oil octopus; but no sooner had the
election passed than Mr.. Clark pro-
ceeded to gobble the spoils and get
in bed with the octopus, leaving Mr..
Heinze to shift for himself. The lat
ter gentleman now proposes to have
hand in the division of the spoils
and if reports be true, he expects
to add the supreme court bench and
legislature of the state to his list of
assets.
So long as the big copper compan-
les confined their fighting to litiga-
ton in the courts the public had but
passing interest in it; but when they
come to own the law giving and law
making bodies of the state it is time
for the people to wake up, Conven-
lions of the present year should nom
mate men who are above suspicion in
every respect, and should they fail
to do so, mass conventions should be
called to place in nomination men
who will command the support of all
honest voters, irrespective of party.

Land of Romance.

Colombia is full of romance. A
wonderful race once dwelt there,
race of worshippers of the sun. They
built cities, and somewhere in the I'M
known recesses of the land they had
great treasure houses that no man
has been able to find since their day.
Even in what may be called mod
ern times there we're such treasure
houses that are now lost to man, but
that surely will be found some day.
Some where in South Darien, on the
track crossed by the grim Balboa,
there once were mines known as the
mines Of Cana or Espiritu Santo, that
produced ore almost pure. Those
mines were so vastly rich that in the
seventeenth century they were called
"Potosi" and became a synonym for
inexhaustible wealth, as the name "El
Dorado is now.
When Spain held the isthmus of
Panama, Cana attracted all the adj
venturous spirits who were hungry
for gold. Then began that bloody
Illl0 u dIIdChS dIlu ldluS NY IlIS eau
buccaneers. Again and again Panama
was beseiged by them. Again and
again their cruel bands marched on
the route over which Balboa had
marched and sacked and slew with
out mercy.
At last Spain, wisely designing to
save the territory even if she had to
give up the gold, decided to close the
mines and, if possible, destroy all
knowledge of where they were So
in 1856 the great treasure house of
Cana was worked for the last time
Then it's entrances were blown up
with gunpowder. The roads leading
to it were destroyed. The men who
knew it's secrets were sent to distant
parts of the world.
The tropics at once began to weave
| their green mystery over the site of
the worlds desire. Royal palms grew
and became great. Creepers and or
chids and ferns covered all And the
centuries passed, the buccaneers
passed, new world grew-but no
man has seen Cana, the Place of
| Gold, since then.

THE COUNTY STRONG BOX

Final footings of railroad proper
ty as agreed upon by the state board
of equalization, apportions to Flat
head county 291O6 miles of railroad
and side tracks at a valuation of
$2,739, 4S9. This includes the len
nings branch and adds to the taxable
wealth of this county over last year
81, 643, 226 or a grand total of S7.377.-
993. A quarter of a million short of
being ranked as a county of the
Fourth class, but a very gratifying
increase after all. Within two years
the county will work into the fourth
class if not less, it's growth being
marvellous, Although the state board
has returned the Jennings branch as
assessable property for 1902 it is
doubtful if the railroad company will
stand for it at all, however, that is
merely a matter of a few thousands
For the current year the taxes paid
to Flathead county by the Great
Northern will amount to S4S.225
which will help some toward payins
expenses, although nearly $1,000 O.
this amount is state tax and not O.
any benefit to the county government
But it would seem that over $3.50 ,OOC
would be sufficient to run the count,
one year even under the economy
of the retiring board and then leav,
a little surplus for incidentals.

People prefer to hire a crooked
man who knows how to do a thing
rather than a straight man who
doesn't know, says Dooley, but the
pothouse philosopher was off his
trolley when he let that remark go
sounding down the ages. Many d
man of undenied ability, shrewd
sharp and energetic is looking for a
job these times and all times, but it
requires a Pinkerton to find reliable
slow man who does not carry his
own meal ticket. Bobby Sharp can
play more engagements under brighter
colors than Johnny Flat, but he don't
stay so long in the same place. In
other words, an employee who is er-
ratio and unreliable at times is let out
when found out; old sobersides may
not be a constellation, but he gets
there just the same, and at the end
Of the year neither absent, tardy nor
drunk, adds a few simOleonS to his
modest salary, while his employer
signs with relief to get rid of spark
ling Bobby, who looks too often upon
the wine when it is red to attend to
business at all times.

Another fallow field of operations
for the United States district judges
would be the farmers of the north
west. If they get too fly it would
not be amiss for some long-eared
judge like Jackson or Keller to en-
join them against raising too much
wheat. 1t makes the people too indie
pendent and it interferes with the op-
orators getting cheap labor, besides
discommoding the wheat pit gam
blers, whose rights to make a corner
call for judicial interference. Be
sides many farmers don't work in the
winter season. Make them work all
winter.

CITY OFFIC IAL PAPER.
FRIDAY, AUGUST is, 1902.
AN ERA OF PROSPERITY

IT'S a proposition in which all VIII
agree that a north and south ROAD
from Jocko to Kalispell, will be OF
the greatest benefit to this city and
county. The valley is becoming well
settled and the point of oVerplus IN
production has been reached which
can only be relieved by quicker aud
cheaper route to market. During the
past two years the farming popular
ton has increased perhaps fifty per
cent. and in proportion the supply OF
grain. fruits and vegetables has
grown This year there has already
been a falling off reported in the pro-
duction of small fruits and berries,
ascribed to the over supply OF last
year. Wheat is selling for much less
at the elevators than two years pre-
viouslyg all because the supply eX-
ceeds the home market-the mills
take advantage of this of course.
That is cheering news that was
given out by President Hill Of the
Great Northern that this north and
south road will surely be built this
fall. The farmer may with conf
dence store his produce awaiting the
event of the completion of this CON
Meeting link with Butte and Anacon-
da, the natural markets for all this
country and which have hitherto
drawn their supplies from Utah, the
Snake River country and Walla Wal
la. the small crops Of fruit and vege-
tables raised in the eastern part
of the state. have never been more
than a sample in Butte and Anacon-
da, home consumption leaving but
little remaining for the markets in
smoky regions of the mines and
smelters True Missoula and the
Bitter Root country have been taxed
to supply the outside market, and as
a result there is no more wealthy Sec
ton in the state than those same
farms The farmers all have money
all the year round, their property
has been wonderfully improved, they
have good roads, good school houses
and plenty of them and such farming
towns as Hamilton, Stevensville,
Florence and Grantsdale, shipping
points of the Bitter Root valley pro-
duce and community settlements of
the farmers, flourish and are prosper
Gus by reason of their trade with the
famous markets at the mines. Mis-
soula derives most of its Importance
from this same source, a go-ahead
little city of 1000 souls. Business is
always prosperous and they have moi
more nor as much traffic in lumber
and grain and fruits as is tributary
to Kalispell only waiting for a road
to open for the great resources OF
lake and forest and farm in Flatheat
county.
The mill timber in this section is
practically virgin, only here and there
have the logging crews made an i'm
preston upon the forest primeval
in even lessening degrees have thu
farm lands been titled. This count.
is an empire in itself and waits tn,
development of cheaper transporta
ton facilities and a near market.
The mineral resources of the coun
ty have only been carelessly touch
ed here and there. but there are mil
ions of treasure buried in the hill
which will be developed and add t
the worlds output in very few years
Capital is needed to develop thes
mines and capital will follow tn
pioneering of the railroads.

Whatever happens or you think
may happen, don't get cold feet.
August is always a season of dullness
in business circles and the merchant
who wears a fuereal look and COM
mences to figure up how much he is
losing this month, should leave his
business in the hands of the chief
clerk and take run down the lake
or up into the mountains. The afOre-
said clerk may probably know more
about the business than the boss, but
that don't matter. Seasons of depres-
sion must occur, especially in this
community at this time. All the
farmers are busy at home and are
gathering the crops which will be eX-
changed for coin of the realm to COM
pensate the tired merchant who is
reading everything through blue spec
tacles this month. If you can't get
over that feeling of everything going
to the "demnition bowwows," how
ever, and want to leave the country
for heavens sake pack up and leave
and give a better man a better
chance.

Must Retire from Business and Take
 Complete Rest for Year or More
 Pittsburg, Aug. 1s.--A Loretto, Pa., special to the Pittsburg Dispatch says:
 President Charles M. Schwab of the United States Steel corporation has ac- cepted the advice of physicians and de- cided to retire indefinitely from an &C., tive business life. He will leave Amer ica to seek some quiet nook in foreign cline where not an echo of the stren- uous life he has led can reach him.
 This information is authentic. Dr, Golden never leaves the Schwab home and the exact nature of his patient $ illness cannot be learned through him MT. Schwab is not confined to his bed but spends much of his time on the wide veranda, which affords fresh air and a sweeping view of the mountain slope. He is always with his wife or his parents. The strange part of MT Schwabs illness is that he is always within view of those who call at his house, yet he will not allow person to approach him. Heretofore the visitor to the Schwab home was greeted with a hearty welcome and a vigorous hand shake. Now the visitor is met at the entrance and told that MT. Schwab can- not be seen.

ENJOYABLB EXCURSION.

Nurses, Patients and Attendants of the
 New Haven Hospital on the Water.
 The annual excursion for the patients, nurses and attendants of the New Ha-
 ven General hospital, given through the
 courtesy of one whose name is not re-
 vealed, was held yesterday and was one
 of the pleasantest affairs imaginable This was the tenth annual excursion, and, while all the others have been
 thoroughly enjoyable, it was the unan- imous opinion of those who enjoyed the outing yesterday that the one this year eclipsed all previous functions of sim- liar character.
 Nurses, patients and attendants to the number of nearly one hundred left Heaton's wharf yesterday morning for a days outing on the water. The trip was made in the J. Sylvester and in cluded very pleasant journey around
 Faulkner's Island and return to this city. Ficht1s orchestra accompanied | the excursionists and rendered an ex- cellent musical programme during the course of the sail. About noontime a sumptuous dinner was served on board the boat It was a happy and thor
 oughly satisfied party that the J. Syl- vester brought back to Heaton's wharf, l the excursion with all it's attendant pleasures being heartily appreciated by every one in the party.
