WHY?

Now that one of the great com mercial companies has absolutely and finally withdrawn from the Rampant trade the question, very naturally, is Why?
 It is not because there is insuffi- cient business here-the demaud for goods exceeds the supply.
 Nor because of a lack of money i'll the camp-the mines produce regularly and well.
 It can not be because prices have gone below the profit line-the company itself was one of the prin- cipal factors in fixing the rate on merchandise, albeit the rate was little complained of.
 Surely it can not be that it is lack of means on the part of the company-else it should not have existed at all.
 Then why the devil IS it that the N. A. T. & T. Go. has quit? Xvi dently, because it is improbable to remain.
 But why is it unpro6table. with demand for goods exceeding the supply, with money to pay for the goods, with prices practically of the company's own making, and with means to do business in an advantageous and economic man ner?
 It is but logical to conclude that in some particular, wise business methods have been departed from. It may be the people have formed a belief that the company is antag- onistic to their interests; it may be that the directing force is too far removed from the seat of opera tions-whatever or wherever the difficulty, reduced to its obvious sequence it is but failure to fulfill the requirements necessary for sue recc

THE WINING-CAMP NE WS-
 PAPER.

A really good editorial writer must possess unusual qualifications. Unlike other men who aspire to do their work well, he can not choose some special branch of knowledge and master it by patient effort: everything is within his sphere, and ill no instance can his work be lilly done and escape the consequence of its faultiness. Given learning, hon esty ot purpose, power of forceiul expression, the faculty of deductive reasoning, and instinctive ability to distinguish between light and wrong. he must still be able to discriminate and must have keen sense of utility. If he sees abuse it may be better to pass it over than drag it ill the open to contaminate but not abate. He must know how to choose his oppor tunity, to gauge his own powers, and to adjust his own interests and ideas to those of his readers. Primarily, he mus: understand that if he falls short of success his failure is due to himself alone-in lis calling merit and sue cess are synonymous. Be his read CTS few or many, wise or otherwise, they will not fai!-as a mass-to estimate him correctly. But two things can limit his achievement narrowness of field and unworthi- ness to fill it.
 Conducting the news columns of a paper are different. Reasonable intelligence and patient industry are the principal requirements. The end sought is to give facts as they occur. with the least possible bias, selected solely with view to the information and entertainment of readers.
 People will not demand high degree of editorial excellence in small publication in mining camp; and with news columns clean. di- versifed aud entertaining a paper may tn nowise be said to be $ fail ure. though its editorial columns fall somewhat below mediocrity.

FRENCH IDEA OF "INTEGRITY''
Manchuria, Tibet and Mongolia Con-
stdered Distinct from China.

Paris, Feb. 10.-The overtures of the
United States government to the pow
ers for preserving the neutrality and
integrity of China are attracting wide
spread attention.. ---. a.
United States Ambassador Porter
conferred with Foreign Minister Del
casse yesterday and to-day. The re-
suits have not been made public. but
the general situation is as follows:
It does not appear probable that an
accord Of the powers can be reached
at the present, time owing to differ
ences of views and the concentration
of attention upon the actual events OF
the war.
France will hardly take any action
which could possibly be construed as
embarrassing to Russia or as seeking
to coerce her concerning the integrity
of China.
The French authorities appear quite
willing and even anxious to have
China declare her neutrality. AS to
the integrity of China it is not likely
that any step will be taken if the term
"China" Is intended to include Man.
cfuria.
It is held that this Is consistent with
the past French attitude concerning
the integrity Of China which was con-
strued to be entirely distinct from the
provinces Of the Chinese empire, in
Guiding Manchuria, Tibet and Mon
golia.

number Of fellow countrymen are on

The price Of tea. rice and other
oriental products" he said, twill be
increased by the war. The new tea
in May will be very high, owing to the
scarcity of labor and of charcoal. But
do not believe there will be much
suffering In Japan, as business will
continue good, despite the war. The
war will be a greater one than the
Crimean, and will last two years.
Japan has money to finance the
fight that long without borrowing
outside. We do not want Chinas aid;
all we ask Is that the Chinese do not
provision the Russians. Our soldiers
can exist on rice alone. japanese
planters have grown great crops of
rice in Korea, and spectators have
accumulated vast stores, SO that our
armies, now landed there, will have
plenty to eat. The Japanese cavalry
is not very efficient, but we don't be-
lieve the Cossack cavalry will hurt us
much"

Enjoy Using Herpicide on Account Of

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak Of it in the highest

the scalp of dandruff and also for it's
excellence as a general hair dressing.
1t makes the scalp feel fresh and it al
lays that itching which dandruff will
cause. Newbro's Herpicide effectively
cures dandruff, as it destroys the germ
that causes it. The same germ causes
hair to fall out, and later badness in

pointed by the governors Of South Da-
kota and Nebraska, met here last
night and formulated recommends
ton to the legislatures Of the two
states.
They were appointed because Of the
restlessness of the Missouri river
which has carried it in many places
far from the original channel, thus
throwing Nebraska land on the
South Dakota side and South Dakota
land on the Nebraska side.
This no mans country has been the
refuge Of criminals, who def1ed Off

The commission recommends the
cession by South Dakota to Nebraska

in 1878. In exchange for this it is
recommended that the pocket near
McCook Lake, and the "Reniger bend

We, the grand jury, report that lack

forced the laws of Indiana, as he saw fit,

petitioner, Miss Helen G. Lund Of James
town, N. Y, who claimed to be the lille
ultimate daughter of the late Carl A.
Lund, former Helena mining man,
Judge Clements closed the first chapter
in most interesting legal battle for the
property of Mr.. Lund, amounting to about
$1,000, being waged between the 17-year-
old girl on one side and brothers and Sis
tiers Of the dead man on the other.
The girl lives in Jamestown with her
mother, Caroline Peterson, and the depo-
sitions presented at the hearing were to
the effect that the Peterson woman be-
came engaged to Lund while they were
coming over from Sweden and that q
daughter was born to her in Jamestown
in 1887.
Owing to the reversal of Lund's for
tunes in Helena. a marriage never took
place, altho the evidence showed that he
recognized the girl as his daughter. Lund
