Leave Out School Children.

We dissent wholly and strenuously
from the suggestion that our public
school children should be asked to con-
tribute money to help Peary to make
another dash toward the north pole.
Peary is all right, and his dashes
toward the north pole are al! right, too
$50 long as men of private fortune
choose to pay his expenses. But our
public schools exist for wholly different
purposes, and many Of those who at
tend them have a heavy enough iuan :
cial task on their hands to be there at
all. No contribution box of any kind
should be passed around in our public
schools. The moment the question of
giving or not giving is raised, the same
distinction between those who have
and those who have not is set up that
is one of the permanent elements of
weakness in our social order. The
school children will find out all about
it later, and when such unavoidable e
distinctions come up fairly. But
while they are in school they should be
protected from all money making
schemes, so that those of them who are
making a close shaye Of it to get any
learning at all may retain their self
respect under the Strengthening con-.
dition of equal comradship

Conditions Are Fair.

While crop conditions in the North
west are backward so far as seeding is
concerned on account of the late cold
weather, the condition is not by any
means hopeless, according to reports
which have been received in the crop
reporting department of the North
western railroad, issued April 30.
.sTheir latest advices indicate that
seeding is tWoor three weeks later than
a year ago and 1t is estimated that 25
or 80 per cent of the seeding has been
completed. Comparing the progress
made by the famer this year with that
of last year is no indication that this
is an unusually backward season, as
the seeding of a year ago was finished
at the early period of the first of May.
So far this year the ground was
frozen nearly every night, making.
plowing very difficult, but there is still
pfenIy of time to get the wheat seeding
done if no more extreme cold weather
intervenes,

ON TO THE COAST
Chicago and North Western Survey
ors Hunting Route to Tacoma.

That the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company will be the next
trans-contlnental line to build across
Montana admits of practically no
doubt, says a special from Helena,
Mont, under date May 3, although it
has been announced that the 500 pur,
posed the construction of an independ
ent coast line through the northern
tier OF Montana counties.
Reports from the coast show that the
northwestern is purchasing large
tracts OF land in and near Tacoma,
presumably for its terminals, and as
the company has already penetrated
the Black Hills and central South
Dakota from the east, i'll order to con
meet these, it is apparent that a line
through practically the entire state Of
Montana must be built.
Inasmuch as the present western
termni of the Northwestern in South
Dakota lie to the south Of Evarts, from
whence the Chicago Milwaukee & St.
Paul Is building its coast extension, it
is more than probable that its line
through Montana would also be TO the
southwark Of the Northern Pacific and
Milwaukee lines, thus opening up for
settlement that vast area in northwest
ern Montana hitherto untcuched by
railroads, Western from there would
be a matter of conjecture, of course,
but that it would include Helena, Butte
and perhaps Great Falls admits of no
doubt,
Engineers, known positively to be in
the employ Of the Chicago & North
western railroad, are running surveys
between Tacoma and Seattle. Several
boxes OF surveyors, tools and instrum.
ents were shipped to Tocoma by the

ago, and the local transfer company
the storage account to that
railroad, The last OF these surveying
appliances was taken out of storage Mon
day The Northwestern has twenty en-
glneers and surveyors employed in the
immediate vicinity of Tacoma.
They are divided INTO four parties each
OF which is engaged in running line
IN different direction, with Tacoma
as the point from which the surveys
radlate. One of the lines ruo by these
surveyors almcst parallels the survey
made by The North Coast railroad on

The town meeting held last Friday
evening for the purpose OF re-organiz-

with spirit of enthusiasm seldom

friendly spirit will help bring that old

it held at different times during the

city demanded united and efficient
work. The question of name for the

the upbuilding of Pierre, was discussed
and the old name, which in the past did
such telling work, was voted to be good
enough to hold onto. The reorganiza-
ton has taken in every faction in the

in its rapid growth and pushing the city
into greater commercial Importance.

DISCOVERED BY HUNTER
Body of Little Marvin Boy Found
In a Marsh.

The body of little Horace Marvin,
il, was found today upon his father S
farm under circumstances which lead
his father and all who have followed
the developments Of the case TO declare
that the baby boy must have been
murdered within two weeks 10y the
persons who stole him from the straw
stack in the farmyard two months ago.
No medical examination has yet been
made of the chiid's body, but the place
where the body was discovered and the
conditions surrounding the discovery
are such as to give the strongest posi-
bic evidence that the child could not
have accidentally met his death sixty
one days ago III the place where he
WAS found.
Throughout the country side the one
opinion is heard-that is that the kid
napers of the boy became frightened at
the developments of the last two weeks
and that the boy was killed and brought
back to the farm so that his body might
be found and suspicion diverted from
his captors. The body was discovered
by Oliver Pleasauton, a young farmer,
Who was out hunting. The child's
body was lying in five inches Of water
which had accumulated over night
owing to the heavy rains. For several
weeks before the last heavy rain storm
there had not been one inch OF water
at this spot, and during the two weeks
of hot weather in the latter part of
March there had been no water at this
place and the grass had been burned
over. Sticking out of the low water
today were the burned tops of the grass
yet the boys body when found showed
that no fire had reached ii at any time.
Detectives had tramped time and again
over the exact spot where the body was
found Mr.. Marvin had been working
within a few feet of body the and
there was not one inch of water there
at the time to have concealed the body.
