An unusual large movement is ex-

lent opportunity to visit the mountains
and shore resorts Of the eastern states.
Special through car arrangements
will be provided from large number of

nectiOn is made via Chicago with all
eastern lines. Full information can be

to urging the establishment Of a rail-

papers are even fayoring that a dec.

proven that such a commission can
accomplish good for the people of the

let us have a railroad commission;
but If the purpose is to hold up the

The city council of Lewistown is
to be congratulated upon the results
of the policy adopted regarding the
city printing. In the past there has
doubtless been much opportunity for
protest on the part of the taxpayers,
but by the adoption of the plan ad-
vanced by the economical city clerk
and 40 faithfully followed by the com
mlttee, a saving of S1.35 has been ac-
cOmplished. And not only has this great
reduction been made in the cost of
the city printing, but the work has
been so distributed that the bill of
the Democrat will be only $3.50, that
of the News only $1,000 and that of
the Argus only $l9.25, and each print
ing establishment in Lewistown will
have a fair proportion of the work
without regard to personal friend
ships. political support, the proper
ton of the city taxation borne by each
or the ability Of any office to furnish
the most satisfactory work. The fol.
lowing out Of this policy in the mat.
ter of all work for the city would
doubtless SOC enable the council 10
purchase SCI desks and chairs for
each of the city officers.

short steps the line from Lewistown'
to Billings has been interrupted until
for two years past there has been no
direct connection between Lewis
town and the metropolis OF the Vel
lowstone. But until two years ago
a major portion of the %freighting in
10 L.ewistown was from Fort Benton
and the excellent stage service be-
tween these points made ii the most
popular line for travellers. With the
completion of the railroad, freighting
from the north ceased and now that
mails and passengers are regularly
and promptly brought via the new
connection the through line to Ben
ton is no longer required and after
June 30th will be discontinued. A
stage service, three times a week, will
connect Denton and Deerield with
Lewistown, while another service will
connect Fort Benton with the settle
ments zeal that city. The Arrow
creek hill, for years the terror Of
f~reighters and coach passengers, will
be little travelled and soon Fort Ben
ton will seem quite rs far removed
from Lewistown as Bozeman or Liv-
inestOn.

LINDSEY FOR GOVERNOR.

Each day II Is becoming more APP

sentiment among Montana Republic
cans that either Lee Mantle of Butte

going to be the Republican nominee
for governor in the coming campaign:
Eastern Montana appears to be
fairly well lined up for the Dawson

northern tier of counties, while the
west side Republicans seem either
to be very carefully hiding their pref

and scorned the gold. The Clark

not drive him; he defied them and
along with Worden. Mckay and

or any other of these men could have
received for their votes is a matter
of conjecture. Clark was paying from
$4,000 to 100000 that winter. il was

Notwithstanding the discrediting Of
NEST of the reports which have been
Sent out. il is generally accepted as
true that some sort of a deal has been
or is about to be made between the
Heinze and Amalgamated interests,
which will bring to an end the great
copper war. Neither Heinze nor the
Amalgamated officials can be led to
make any announcement and this is
OF itself almost conclusive evidence
that there is something doing. One
report says that while the price to be
paid HeinZe by the Amalgamated for
all his Montana interests has been
agreed upon. Heinze is holding out
fol a position of influence with the
directorate. But. for the good of the

The Republicans had better keep
