A CORPORATION DEAL.

The manner in which the Harvey
Impeachment proceedings and the
Silver Bow contests We're dropped by
the legislature would indicate that
some sort of Job was at the bottom
of the settlement. Without a dissent
ing vote in either case. both matters
were shelved for good. Nor was
there a voice raised either in opDO-
sition or explanation of the summary
action. Those who have been pro-
claiming the result as a great Heinze
victory are doing so through either
ignorance or design. Victories are not
usually won with the unanimous con-
sent of the opposing parties. and the
results in the present instance were
no doubt reached through agreement
of the warning corporations. Just
what concessions were made by Mr.
Heinze and the United Copper COM
pany to save Judge Harvey and the
Silver Bow members of the house
does not appear; but time will no
doubt develop both sides or the deal
A part of the consideration was no
doubt an agreement to drop the
Shores disbarment proceedings, and
possibly other promises to boot. The
one fact brought out most conspicu-
ously by the affair is the complete
subserviency of the present legisla-
ture to the will of the copper cOrpo-
ratiOns At the instigation of one of
these corporations the impeachment
proceedings and the contests were
begun with a vim. and when both
corporations united to give the signal
the whole thing was dropped like
hot potato, and, curiously enough
there was not a single member with
sufficient independence to break
away from the dctaton of the corpo-
ratiOns; but it is safe to say that less
than one-half of the members under
stood the real significance of the ac-
ton taken. Like a band of sheep.
the leaders jumped over the fence
and the others followed. If the sur
mise of the Bee is correct and the
disbarment proceedings against Mr..
Shores are to be dropped. it will
show that the courts of Silver Bow
county are quite as subservient to the
corporations as is the legislature:
for if Judge Harvey drops the dis
barment proceedings at the order of
Mr.. Henze, it will show that he is
merely puppet IN the hands of the
copper magnate. And the people
pay the freight

METTLER HEARING BEGUN

Mornlng session Devoted to TeSti-
mony of One Witness.
The hearing of Richard Mettler, &C
cused of the malicious shooting of
Thomas Scown, commenced this
morning at 10 o'clock, before Justice
M. J. Sullivan, County Attorney Poor
man represented the state and B. j.
McIntire appeared for Mettler. But
one witness, w. F. Ludwig, for the
state, was put on the stand, and his
testimony consumed the entire morn
ing session, and on it's completion at
IL o'clock, an adjournment was TAX
en- until 1870. Scown is unable to
appear, and the court will meet at
the hospital this afternoon to take
his testimony.
Ludwig was with Scown and Met
tier on the hunting trip, and was the
first to reach the former after he was
shot. He related the incidents of
the trip and detailed the plans made
for the hunt. He heard the shot and
Immediately afterward Scown crying

and both men called to Mettler, but
it was about five minutes before the
latter answered. Immediately at the
conclusion OF his testimony the ad
jOurnment was taken.

peared in your paper entitled ITEM

any respect, and in justice to Mr.

of one E. r. Bell, when he says OF
anyone connected with the American

OF paste. or that it was bad smelling
is absolutely false, and Mr.. Bel
knows it. I only asked him if ne
knew to whom it did belong and he
said he did not. Thanking you fol

CLOSED BY REQUEST.

From all over the state comes word
of the closing of gambling games in
honor of the investigation into the
violation of the gambling law that is
being made by the legislature. When
the Legislature has adjourned the
tiger will again emerge from his
lair as proud and as impudent as
ever. In Kalispell he seems to be
more bold than elsewhere; for in
this city the rattle of the chips and
the whirr of the wheel has never
stopped. tbs may be due to the fact
that Kalispell is a long distance from
the seat of war: but it is more prob
ably due to the better protection
given by Kalispells reform mayor
Mr.. Logan was elected upon a plat
form which called for the enforce
ment of the laws against gamblins
and other immoral practices. bu,
since his election the platform seems
to have disappeared. If any of the
voters who supported Mr.. Logar
upon high moral grounds desire t.
find it, the Bee suggests that the,

ST. valentino.

Many heart was made glad on
the 14th, st. Valentines day, by a
tender missive. anonymous, but from
Tradition has it that the birds
choose their mates on that day, and
from time without mind the lovesick
swain and maid have utilized the
day to send lovers greeting, more
or less adorned according to the
means of the sender In the olden
times valentines were always writ
ten. usually in verse, and they were
the vehicles to carry messages of
love, friendship, and respect. 1t is
only in recent years that the custom
has been extended to the field of
criticism and ridicule. The comic
valentine, as well as the dainty and
costly ones of the present day. have
only come into vogue within the last
half century
The day takes its name from st.
Valentinus, charitable and kindly
bishop, who was beheaded during
the Claudian persecution of the
Christians, in 270 A. d.. but it is
doubtful if there was any real con-
nectiOn between the custom and the
man whose name it bears, for the
same custom seems to have been fol-
lowed by the people before the time
of st. Valentnus.
The valentines of the present day
range in price from mere trifie to
a handsome sum. and each year a
vast sum. in the aggregate, is spent
upon them, but so far as they ex-
press the kindly sentiments of love
and friendship, the money which they
cost is well expended

Andrew j. BabcOck, ship carpen
ter at Tacoma, was made the happy
father of bouncing baby boy on Sat
urday last. This of Itself may not
seem remarkable, but when it is men,
toned that the father is a hale old
man of 81 years of age, it is seen to
be not so common an event after
all. Mr. Babcock works every day
at his chosen vocation and asks and
receives no favors on account of age,
for he regards himself as one of the
boys, and liable to Outlive many of
them yet. To his way of thinking,
there is nothing wonderful in being
a father at 81 for it is an article of
faith with the old gentleman that a
man is only as old as he thinks he
is. and Mr.. Babcock regards himself
as a youth just entering his prime.
Four years ago he was. of course
younger, and the boy who then came
to gladden. his home excited no COM
ment, though the father was II at

family as doing nicely, with the baby
