WASHINGTON.

Sunday next will be the one un-
bred and seventy-first anniversary OF
the birthday of Washington. Every
nation has produced it's great men,
but few have combined in one per
sonage the qualities to give first
rank as warrior, statesman and
patriot.
Washington is revered as some
thing above and apart from the ordi-
nary great man. He occupies plane
that is entirely his own and which
can never be reached by any other
ind vidual.
Nearly all of the few really great
men that the world has produced
have had their origin in humble cir
cumstances, and to this fact can be
attributed the deep sympathy and
simple love of justice of such men;
but Washington was born and bred
as an aristOcrat and in spite OF that
fact his owe and sympathy for man
kind was as broad as humanity itself,
while his simple love of justice made
him the arbiter whose word was ac-
cepted without question by his fellow
men.
Like his father before him. Wash
ington was perhaps the Wealthlest
man in America at the time OF his
death. Besides his own estate, ne
had the care of the estate belonging
to his wife, who was wealthy in hel
own right. He exported the produce
of his estates to London, Liverpool
and other ports, and imported the
various articles and supplies needed
for his large establishment; for a
that day but few articles We're manu-
featured in America. In spite 0
these manifold duties, Washington
found time to transact the great vol
ume of public business, which mos
people regard as his only occupation

circumstances rather than as mil

than he won, but he kept his force
together and nullfied the victorie
OF the enemy better than any othe

4 RAILROAD COMMISSION.

Much satisfaction was expressed
by the people of the state at the &C
ton of the state board Of equalization
in raising the assessed value OF the
railroads in Montana and an effort
will no doubt be made to secure
further increase in such assessment
during the present year.
1t is useless, however, to increase
the assessed value of the roads un-
less some law is enacted which will
restrain the railroads from shifting
the burden to the shoulders of the
people, for what will it profit the
people to have the roads pay in
creased taxes if they can collect such
taxes from the people by increasing
rates or by changes in the classified
ton of goods. Even after the large
increase in the assessment last year,
the roads are only paying taxes on
about 20 per cent of the value of
their property, and if no commission
or other means Of regulating rates
is to be provided, the railroads can
look with indifference upon any in.
crease in their assessments; for they
can easily take from the pockets OF
the people the money with
which to pay their taxes. So long as
there was railroad competition in
Montana, there was not such a cry
ing need for commission; but with
all semblance of competition wiped
out, it is imperative that commits
sion be established.
The paid lobbyists who oppose the
creation Of a railroad commission de

Kalispell -four is sold for less
money in Spokane than it is in Kali
ispell, and yet some people contend
that there is no discrimination in
freight rates in favor of certain ship
pers, and that there is no need of a
railroad commission in Montana.
When the farmer of this valley tries
to ship his grain, he is confronted by
a freight rate that is prohibitive. He
must sell to the local mill at the out
side price, less the high freight rate,
and when he buys his own wheat
after it is made into flour, he must
pay more than the retail buyer pays
for the same -four in the state OF
Washington.

Several attempts were made to
take up the change of venue bill out
of it's order, but they failed until late
in the afternoon, when that measure
was reported. Kennedy Immediately
began dilatory tactics, and he an

quit.
A number of legitimate amend
ments were made to the bill Mad
dox offered one which was adopted,
providing that an application for a
change Of venue may be made to the
supreme court without stating the
reasons for the application.
Bremen offered an amendment pro.
viding that the entire supreme court
shall designate the Judge to try a
case where a change of venue is
granted The amendment was
adopted. Maddox offered another, pro-
| viding that only one change of venue
may be had during the trial of any
case. This was adopted.
On all these amendments, Kennedy
talked long time, and then he began

ARE you concerned in Browns
ville's progress? Certainly you are,
or ought to be, il you are loyal
citizen. Therefore it is but right and
proper that you should assume a
share of the responsibilities incident
to its advancement. There is no
better way to build up a city and
country than to help promote and
foster those institutions that tend
to develop the country. The prop
osition is obvious. Brownsville
needs some kind of an organization,
call it Business Mems Club, Cham
Der Of Commerce, Board of Trade,
or something else, it matters not, so
it does the work OF placing the
Brownsville country before pros
pective settlers in the proper light.
Let's organize. Let's act now, tits

zens of Austin probably have a
much higher opinion of extra ses-
sions than do the people in other
parts of the State-they make their
city more lively for a time, and
those not privileged to benefit by
these occasions are rather more in
clined to count the cost. There are
citizens also who think the converse
of the proposition of the Statesmen
would go long ways towards re-
medying the evil; that instead Of
increasing the taxes some effort
might be made towards reducing the
that there are some
barnacles on the ship of State that
might very properly be removed
and perhaps add to the sailing
qualities of the vessel. But most of

not improbable thar Gov. Lanham
entertains similar opinion.--Color-

HOW OLD IS ANN.
Pupil of Number IA Evening
School Gives His Teacher
An Xmas Gift.

When No. IA evening school was clos
ed for the holidays, last Tuesday even
ing, the teachers were the recipients of
numerous presents, especially from the
young men. One teacher received very
large box, nearly three feet long, two
wide and foot and half deep, brought
by messenger. Every one in the school
was curious to know what was in the big
box. The recipient was as anxious to
know as any of the rest, so she decided
to have it opened. There was a big layer
of paper ON top, which required some
time to remove Then came bundle of
excelsior wound around with about 100
yards of twine. Inside of this was a
bundle wound with many wards more of
twine. When this was unwound and at
least ten minutes had been consumed in
unpacking, small box containing tiny
dressed doll and card Inscribed
How Old is Ann?'
The doll bore a tag with the name
thereon. There was howl of laughter
in which Principal Sweeney and the re-
cipient, who is one of the most popular
teachers in the school, joined heartily.
She took it good-naturedly.
