PRETTY SMALL.
crat.

About the smallest proposition we
have seen in long time is the one
coming from the leading newspapers
Of the state to the effect that if the
legislature makes an appropriation
for an exhibit at the St. Louis " orld's
Fair that it should also appoint a
committee to have charge. Every
one can plainly see that this is di-
rect thrust at the Governor. It is a
we'll known fact that republican pa
pers would not make such a sugges-
tion if we had a republican governor,
and it is also we'll known that demo-
cratic newspapers would not endorse
tae proposition were it not for the
fact that these papers are little out
of sorts with His Excellency. Now,
it makes no difference to this paper
whether republicans, democrats, pop
ulists, socialists, or members of the
labor party are chosen to collect and
install an exhibit at St. Louis. We
are not damphool enough to believe
that all the honor, virtue and honesty
OF Montana is wrapped up in any one
party. We would, in fact. regret to
see the exhibit partisan affair, as it
most probably would be if left to the
legislature. Governor Toole is an
honorable gentleman, man of broad
views, conscientious and has the in
terests of the state very much at
heart. He is man capable of rising
above the petty chickering's of party
malice and it does not seem to us
that the suggestion is treating the
chief executive with proper respect.
Ii the corrupting influence Of parti,
san politics is to enter into every de-
tail of the exhibition work it had bet
ter be abandoned altogether. There
are few men in the state, we care not
to what party they belong, that enjoy
the universal esteem Of the whole
people as thoroughly as does Governor
Toole and in the face of any unkind
comment designing quill drivers may
make there is no possible blotting out
OF the universal belief among the
common people that the governor is
a high minded, honorable gentle
man; the governor of the whole state
and not mere partisan tool as his
opponents would like to have them
believe.-Rocky Mountain Husband

PAYING THE PIPER,

AS everybody expected would be
the case, the gold mines of the Rand
district will be compelled to pay
some of the debt caused by the Boer
war. It has been arranged by Colon
ial Secretary Chamberlain that the
mine owners will pay $15O,OOO,OOO out
right, and meet the interest on $780,
100000 more. AS the war was due
to the troubles of the mine owners.
this forced contribution to it's cost
seems just. OF course, the sums
which the mines will furnish to the
British treasury will not go a great
way toward meeting the aggregate
outlay, which was in the neighbor-
hood of 81 100, 900, but they will,
in slight degree at least, relieve the
British taxpayer.
It is we'll for the mine owners, for
the British government and for the
Beers themselves that the settlement
has been made. Iewas felt all along
that the mines would be heavily as
sessed for the expense Of the war
which they We're chiefly responsible
for bringing. This certainly has been
hanging like cloud over the pros
poets of the mining industry, and
in large degree the effo rts
Of those who have been endeavoring
to restore business to the conditions
prevailing before the war began.
Now that the miners know their fate,
they will be able to adjust themselves
to the situation quickly, and industry
Will De pushed.
The present plan is for the mine
owners to introduce Chinese cheap
abor to work in gold diggings. The
natives it is said, are inadequate to
he task, while the Beers are averse
o the more menial Of the labor in
'olved in getting out the gold. The
'nly recourse which was open to the
miners, therefore, according to the
eports, was the Chinese. OF course
he Beers Will not be especially we'll
'leased at the introduction of Chinese
nto their country, but the mine
wners are masters of the situation
o that extent at least, and the Gel
stials will come in. In the mean
ime, the world may as we'll prepare

FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.

One of the most meritorious meas

opinion of The Western News, is the
one providing for free school books

proves burdensome bill of expense.

MANUFACTURING IN r1ONTANA.

The production of metals in the
Northwest is intimately connected
with its production of coal. Both are
cause and both are effect. The de-
mand Of the smelters for coke is i'm
perative, and the dependence of the
mining industry on local smelters is
camplete. The production of ore in
the northwest has only begun. In
ten years, Montana will be a great
iron producing center. Hardly more
than ten years will be needed to de-
velop the iron ores of Washington.
Unlike gold or even copper, the DIS
tanee that iron ore can be economic
ally shipped by. railroad is limited.
Near the places it is produced it must
be wrought into. rails, cars, wheels
and cutlery. The recent movement
toward developing the iron ores of
the northwest means more for the de-
velopment of the country than the
rapid growth of it's mines of precious
metals. 1t means diversified manu-
featuring, and here again the abun-
dance of cheap coal plays an import
ant part, All that Pennsylvania is it
is safe to predict for Montana; and
all that New York stands for in the
way of fruit, manufacturing and com.
merce, one may prophesy for Wash
ington. With the northwest an IRON
producing center, yards at Puget |
Sound to rival those of the East IN |
constructing ships for the still en-
bryonic Oriental trade are a natural
consequence.
The vigorous efforts to develop the
transcontinental trade over the north
ern roads will be another factor in
stimulating the ceal mining industry |

HANDY BOOK OF INSULTS.
Thousa IAN ds of Fight-Causing Eptth cts
Put Into Special Dictionary
by German.

Herr Schuch, German author, has
compiled dictionary of 2.5o0 insulting
expressions, carefully tabulated, in
dexed and classified. The work, on
which Herr Schuch has spent years of
labor, is called the Schimpfworter
Lexikon and is divided into five general
heads-insults for men, insults for
women, insults for either sex, insults
for children and collective insults for
syndicates. groups and corporations.
Herr Schuch, with that minute discern
ment of the searching German, has
subdivided these classes into smaller
ones, so that wien one wishes to call
his friend or enemy name it needs
but short consultation with the book
to find the exact epithet or phrase
which will fit the case. This work
would have been invaluable to Mis-
5sissippi river pilots in the old days,
end even now the teamster may regard
it as a welcome addition to his library.

Redding, March 2o.-After sur
viving a desperate duel with knives,
in which he killed his opponent,
and was himself terribly carved,
Lee Barnes has been laid low by a
plain, ordinary blackberry pie.
Barnes is dying from the effects
of eating an entire pie yesterday.
Shortly after finishing the pastry
he was seized with violent cramps,
stitches which had been taken in
his lungs and abdomen broke aud
the surgeon says his recovery islm-
possible.
A few weeks ago Barnes fought a
terrible duel with Bill Silverthorn,
in which the latter was killed.
Barnes was almost disemboweled,
and was at first supposed to be
dead. He regained consciousness,
however, and was on the high road
to recovery when he went against
the blackberry pie, which has ap-
parently done deadlier work than
Silverthorn's dagger.

Buffalo, March 2o.-It would not
surprise those who have been watch.
ing the latest developments in the
Burdick murder case if Mrs. Bur.
dick wife of the man who was mys-
teriously murdered, should be plac-
ed under arrest at any moment.
The finding of the letter from
Arthur Pennell in which the latter,
addressing MIS-. Burdick, said that
he would be compelled to kill Bur-
dick, furnished the police with an
iml ortant clue which they have
been following energetically.
Mrs. Burdick, whether or not she
knows anything of her husbands
murder, was undoubtedly the di-
rect cause of the Buffalo triple
tragedy in which Burdick, Pennell
and Mrs. Pennell were killed.
The expected arrest was not
made today, which leads to the be-
lief that there is no foundation for
the report that Burdick was killed
by policeman in Pennsli's en-
ploy.
Interest now centers in Mrs Bur-
dic6's forthcoming testimony when
the inquest is resumed.

The Dalles, March 2o.-Governor
Chamberlain, Secretary of State
Dunbar and State Treasurer Moore
made an inspection this morning of
the proposed route of the Portage
railroad which is to be constructed
by the state around the rapids of
the Columbia at Cello.
The three officials came up from
Portland last evening and a special
engine and car took them to Cello
this morning. They were accom-
panied by number of prominent
citizens of The Dalles.
The appropriation made for the
Portage railroad is $165,ooo. The
inspection made today is the first
step toward carrying the undertak.
ing into execution.
ssWe are here simply to look over
the route" said the governor. "No
work can be done until ninety days
have passed from the adjournment
of the legislature, so as to give the
required opportunity for invoking
the referendum. Our first step
then will be to obtain a survey and
estimate by competent engineers
and then bids for construction Of
the road will be received. We must
find out, of course, whether the
road can be built for the amount OF
the appropriation"
The length Of the soad will be
about eight and a hslf6miles and il
is the generally accepted opinion
that the most feasible route is be-
tween the o. R. & N. tracks and
the river, starting at the big eddy
four miles from The Dalles and
lending above the Taffe tannery al

spected and frequent stops made in
order to allow closer examination
