State Tax Rate.

Ii has been practically determined
that the State tax rate will be increased
two cents on the 800. making the rate

necessary To sell the States interest in
the Washington Branch of the Balti

stock, which amounts to $500 shares,
can be disposed of at par value. there
would be added to the State treasury
the sum of $500,O00.
For several years this stock has been
unproductive. and in view of the cxpen-
sive terminals to be built in Washing

Fishermen and oystermen report hun
dreds of dead crabs on and along the
shores of Chester and Corsica rivers
The crab during the winter season hiber-
mates in the mud. and the same reason
that has caused so many "weakenings'
the want of IA supply of air-has caus-
ed the death of so many crabs. These
fishermen also report that many of the
crabs found along the shores show signs
of life. while the majority are actually
lifeless. This condition of these shell
fish was no doubt caused bv the long
and continued ice embargo, which de-
prived them of the necessary supply OF

Another Producer Budding

The Coronado Gold Mining Com
pany, with promising property only
a mile from the Congress mine, is
building new eight-room house.
This is future mine that has been
little talked of. 1t is, however,
we'll known by local mining people
and bears a splendid name. And
the good reputation OF the boys who
have developed and promoted the
property is such as to add conf
dence to the property. The gentle
men we have in mind are James
Reese and John Holden. A party
of wealthy people from Chicago
are out examining the. property.
They can not fail to take home a
good report to their associates, and
in consequence thereof we hope to
hear of the operation Of the mine.

in destroying opposition, rather than
in overcoming it through the devious
channels of diplomacy or Cancellation.
Intensely patriotic, he viewed af-
fairs of state and government from
the standpoint of a man of business,
who disregarded sentiment and gagged
things from a practical view. 1t was
the training and knowledge gained
early in life as a man of affairs n
the hard business sense which he
brought to bear that undoubtedly
made possible the success in public
life he achieved at the late period in
which he entered it, for Hanna took
up politics at a time when many
men who in their youth entered the
arena are seriously thinking of with
drawing from the glare and glamor
and retire to the rest and tranquility
that surrounds home and friends.
Both publicly and privately he acted
we'll the parts that came to him,
and though he will never be enrolled
among the really great men the nation
has produced. he will live in history
as a man who succeeded and who in

The newspapers published at the

more taste Of the strong opposition
put up against the country press in

big state dailies, backed by million

Not content with doing all in their

Gallatin county where a rural free

established by the postoffice authori.

The question of the disreputable
methods pursued by the big daily pa

some length a short time ago at a
meeting of the publishers association

country papers. For a year or more
past the publishers of papers in the
smaller towns of the state, and espe.
cially those who have declined to
wear the brand of the millionaire and
professional federal and state office
seeker, have felt that there is a big
combination formed by the owners
and managers of the papers published
at Helena and Butte, having Is its
object to suppress as much as possible
the influence of the country press in

these methods has been quietly made
by the rural publishers of the state

which class themselves on the metro
politan order, are nothing but mere
tools and puppets, which do the bid

MODERN AND COMPLETE.
Yellowstone county's New Jail Is a
Good One,

7Before the new county Jail will be
accepted in it's entirety the commits
sioners will probably have a session
with the contractors who constructed
the building, Shackleton & Whiteway
of Butte. Much of the cement cover
ing the floors was found to be cracked
and loose swhen the commissioners
visited the Jail, yesterday. In other
places it had to be cut and portions
removed by the men who put in the
cells and other steel work. The de-
fective portions will have to be made
good and it is also likely that the
attention of the contractors will be
called to what is believed to have
been a noncompliance with the o n
tract because of failure to the
floor of the second story to the depth
called for by the plans and specifica-
lions.
Sheriff Hubbard drew the boards
notice to the fact that the wall of the
woman's department, upstairs, rest
e! on the cement. whereas, he said,
it should be Embedded in the floor,
provision for which was made in the
plans. If so placed, the wall would
be given greater stability and strength,
while it would also be much easier
to keep the cells clean. He also
thought that the floor in the main cor
ridor should have been higher, to
bring it on a level with the stills OF
the doors leading into the mems de-
partment.
All these things were noted and
will form a part of the matters to
be discussed at the next meeting OF
the board and contractors. With these
items properly adjusted Yellowstone
county will have n of the best, Sc
curest and most modern jails in the
state, if not in the entire northwest.
1t contains seven cells, each capable
of holding four prisoners with COM
fort, upstairs, and four downstairs.
In addition to having special pro-
visions for the keeping of female
prisoners, the Jail also contains cells
for juveniles, entirely separate and
in a different room from those in
which are the mems cells. This is
an arrangement that will appeal to all
interested in prison reform, as it re-
moves a cause of common complaint,
the indiscriminate herding together of
hardened criminals and mere boys.

FAvoRs BILLINGS.

Muscular: Chairman Lindsay has
issued a call for the republican state
committee to meet at Helena, Febru-
airy %. When the committee meets,
the call for a state convention to
elect six delegates and six alternates
to the Chicago convention will be
made and the committee will also
name time and place for holding it.
1t is probable that this convention
will be held in Billings, which is the
only place so far that has put in a
bid for it. Billings would be an ad-
mirable place for holding this con
vention and certainly something is due
that strong republican section of the
state. Billings is said to be a little
out of the way, but it isn't when you
come to look at it right. Anyhow, we
do not think that either Butte or
Helena will be chosen as the place for
holding the delegate convention or
the fall convention; for the latter,
Missoula is a candidate. Missoula can
handle the crowd. 1t has ample &C.
commodations and as it is the most
beautiful city in the state people will
want to come to see it in it's loveliest
dress. That is one inducement of the
many.
Great Falls is also a candidate for
convention honors. Great Falls is
a splendid city, has facilities for hand
ling delegates, has hospitable people
and everything in the favor, but has
already been honored and would not
protest vigorously if Missoula secure
the plum. 1t is just as easy for the
people of northern Montana to get to
Missoula as it is for the people of
western Montana to reach Great
Falls, and from elsewhere in the state
Missoula can be reached much easier
than Great Falls can be.
