If Enoch was not considered the personation of honesty, then we would not feel so hurt over the fol- lowing from the independent, June 23, which says that: \United States Marshal, R. S. Kelly, of Deer Lodge, seized yesterday 75P)0 railroad ties belonging to Enoch Hodson, the well,known tie pntter, oil the ground that they had been cut on govern- ment land. These ties were cut by Mr. Hodson some time ago for the Rocky Fork railroad, under a con- tract with Walter Cooper, who was said to have authority from Peasas i Ityati of t. Paul, contractor for building a part of the railroad, to make out contracts in his behalf. Ten thousand of the ties were de- livered to Cooper and paid for by him, but the balanoe of the 84,000, which were bargained for, were not paid for, though they were promptly delivered and were lying near Moun- tain siding in Gallatin county, on the line of the proposed railroad when seized by the marshal When the Rocky Fork project fell through, Mr. Ryan denied that he had ever given Cooper any authority to contract for him, refused to accept the ties, and they have lain in &state of uncertainty as to ownership ever since. Mr. Hodson would not say whether or not the ties were actually cut on government land, but says he had a right to so cut them if he had chosen, they being ciontraeted for railroad purposes. He declares that he has been wrongly treated by certain par- ties connected with, the Rocky Fork affair, and that this is a part of their work. He will at once give bond, redeem the ties and contest the mat- ter in the courts. The amusing feature in connec- tion with the affair is that the mar- shal received information that Hod- son had contracted to furnish ties for the Helena motor railway, and he came to this city and seized 2,000 ties belonging to that company, thinking they were a part of the Rocky Fork ties, when in point of fact Hodson never had any relation with the motor railway company and those ties came from another source and were furnished by a different party. FOR DRINKERS The Whisky Outlook as Told by One who Knows. Chicago Tribune: T. M. Gilmore, the secretary of the Kentucky Dis- tillers' associasticn, was in the city yesterday, and in conversation on the trade outlook for the ensuing year said: \In the latter part \ay there was a convention of the Ken- tucky distillers in Louisville, at which more than half of the parties interested were present. The annual physical capacity of the Kentucky distilleries aggregates about 60,000,- 000 gallons, though the tub capacity is one-third less. At the convention it was resolved to limit the produc- tion for the ensuing distilling year —from July 1, 1888, to June 30, 1889—to 11,000,000 gallons, 9,000,- (X)0 to be distributed under capacity rule, the remaining 2,000, gal. ions to be placed in the hands of an allotment committee to be distribut- ed among what is kncc,vn as the 'con- servative houses' for the purpose of 'evening up.' The agreement has been signed by a large percentage of the houses, but- will not be of binding effect until after 85 per cent. of the houses have been signed. Then it will be deposited with the allotment committee.\ \What is the present stock of Ken- tucky whisky in sight?\ \There are about 37,000,000 gal- lons in bond and the stock in dealers' hands is about 5,000,W0 gallons. There are in Europe warehouses about 85 1 000 barrels, which were ex- ported within the last three or four years to avoid the payment of the in- ternal revenue tax at the expiration of three years from date of manufac- ture. This increases the supply to the extent of about 3,000,000 gal - Ions, so there are in all about 45,000,- 000 gallons.\ \Are the exported goods being re- turned for consumption?\ \Yes st the rate of between 6,000 and 7,000 barrels per month. These are being distributed all over the country, though small syndicates iii va-ious cities are buying freely for speculative purposes. There are no '83 or 'h-} gods In the market, and it is thought by many that there is big money in the fully matured whiskies at present prices.\ A special from Ottawa, Canada, says: Two prospectors have arrived here from the Cascade range of mountains in British ,Columbia with a lump of almost pure gold weighing forty-two pounds. They had it tested until satisfied of its value, and this morning shipped it to Montreal to be melt- ed up. The men are silent as to where the lump was found. They are looking up fie subject of mining rights, and will go west again immediately.—Missoula Gazette. STILL AT LARGE. The Northern Pacific Highwaymen As Yet Manage to Elude Pursuit—The Belief That They Will Be Headed Off. BILLI NG S, June 23.—[Special to the Independent.}—Four men, Frank Coal. John Enos, Jesse Alexander and James Flem were arrested here to -day on suspicion of being con- cected with the Northern Pacific train robbery. The complaint was sworn to by John Smith. After an investi- gation by Chief Detective Sullivan, of Portland, their outfit and eight head of horses were taken, No evi- dence was found however. Their ex- amination on Monday will probably result in their release. Under -Sheriff Reed, who has been on the trail with Sheriff Irvine, of Custer county, returned to -day. He claims there were only three, as is proven by the trail and other evi deuces, and that IRVINE WILT. orr THEM. The robbers and the posse are now traveling south, between the Big Horn and the Tongue rivers, both streams being unfordable, on account of the high water. Irvine himself ha:s taken the stage for Dayton, Wyo., to get in ahead of the rob- bers. The whole country is on the lookout for them. Several outfits are prepared to make a systematic search for them, hoping to get the reward offered by the Northern Pa- cific and the territory. REPORTERS. — -- What an Expert Has to Say of Them. Joe Howard, in the New York Graphic says: Reporters differ in va- rious ways. Some are purely des- criptive, in some a bump of humor is magnificently developed, some permeate a story, short or long, with indices of personality. Others are cast iron in recital, and make their stories as piquant as an algebraical problem. A good reporter, gifted with natural spirits and health, is a thing of beauty and a joy forever in any well regulated newspaper office. Eyery door is open to him and the field of life is spread before him with its sunshine and its shadow. In the course of an evening he talks with presidents and walks with princes. He sits with the sorrowful and mourns with the humble. No place is too sacred, none too lowly; no man is too high, too ri3h, too great for him to approach, none too poor, too humble for him to serve. He is as much at home in the palace of a millionaire as in a hospital ward of a prison. He writes with equal readiness the glib utterances of a be - frilled bishop or the harrowing con- fession of a poor devil in the Tombs. A good reporter must be discreet. How much he hears that he cannot tell; how much he knows that it would not be fair for him to reveal. He sees the best and worst types of society, and has his hand more con- stantly upon the pulse of affairs than any minister, lawyer, doctor or mer- chant. CASTLE CAVE. In Which Is a Commodious Room of Rare Beauty. CASTLE, June 21.—Prospectors at the north end of the district discov- ered a wonderful cave last week. It is situated about seven miles from Castle and aboui., two and a half from Bivin's coal banks. A party of men with ropes and ladders made an ex- ploration one day last week. The en - is about the size and similar to a min- ing shaft. At about 40 feet they found a room about 250 by 200; from this room they went THROUGH AN ARCHED PASSAGE 150 feet on an incline of about forty- five degrees, which dropped off per- pendicular for fifteen feet. It then ran on a level for seventy-five or 100 feet and fell again twenty feet. From this main passage lateral and ascend- ing passages were found, one extend- ing in an upward course thirty, feet into another room n about 200 by 100 feet and about fifty feet in height. The bottom, walls and ceiling, or top, were all crystalized. On this lower level the party found a lake of pure water of quite an extent. The whole distance traversed in this wonderful underground cavern was estimated to be 1,700 or 1,800 feet. A Missouri editor sums up the newspaper business in the following true but inelegant manner: \An editor works 365i days in a year to get out fifty-two issues of a paper; ties labor. Once in a while a sub- scriber pays a year in advance; that's capital; and once in a while son.e son -of -a-sea -cook of a dead beat takes the paper for two or three years, then skips out without paying for it; that anarchy; but later on justice will overtake the last named animal—that's hell. The estate of Mrs. Eekert, who said to have been the murderer John Penn, has been appraised 622002.22. is of at 83 PER YEAR POINTS SETTLED. An Epitome of the Work of the Late M. E. General Conference. The following points were settled by the late M. E. general conference: 1. A bishop may use tobacco. 2. There is to be no change in the present societies and general plan of carrying on the church benevolences. An elaborate report making revolu- tionary changes by way of rearrange- ment was voted (Iowa. 3. Delegates representing a con- ference must reside within the bounds of the conference; otherwise they are ineligible to seats. 4. Bishops are required to be elected by a two-thirds vote of the conference. 5. A bishop's term of office is for life. It cannot be limited to a term of years. 6. Presiding elders cannot be chosen by the conferences. They are subject exclusively to appointments by the bishops. 7. Prestding elders do not possess co-ordinate powers with the bishops in making the annual allotment of ministers to their charges. This mat- ter rests solely in the bishop's hands. 8. The bishops shall continue to be, as they always have been, general superintendents. They are not to be assigned to certain limited and de- fined jurisdictions or dioceses. Western Independence. St. Paul Globe: We note in sev- eral eastern journals significant refer- ences to the growth of independent thought and action in the west and especially in the northwest. We are glad our eastern friends have begun to notice this. For a long time - their eyes have been blinded, and they have in consequence delivered them- selves from time to time of very ab- surb statements; but it is gratifying to observe that they at last are begin- ning to get an intelligent apprecia- tion of the situation. The indepen- dent movement in the northwest cer- tainly is formidable. It arises simply from an inclination on the part of the people to look at things from a com- mon sense point of view. They see no virtue in clinging to traditions and prejudices simply because their fa- thers clung to them before them, be- cause they are time-honored In the west utilitarism and practicality are the prime considerations. Men and measures are judged by what they are in themselves and what their in- fluence and effect may be in the, pres- ent day and generation. Thera is an expansiveness about the very at'nos- phere productive of independence. Though party lines are strictly drawn they are not sufficiently strong to bind men down to a course of action con- trary to the dictates of their judge- ment, and no better indication of this disposition to regard common sense as t nz superior of party doctrine, when'the two conflict, can ba intro- duced than the attitude of the north- west, in demanding, without distinct- ion of political affiliations, reduction of the monstrous taxation system which is pouring into the national treasury every year $60,000,000 in ex- cess of the government's needs. This is only one of the many signs of northwestern independence, but we commend it to the careful consid- eration of eastern friends. Worthy His Hire. The salary law now in force is ri- diculous enough, but the law which goes into effect in December is still worse, and aspirants for office are not as numerous as they would be were adequate compensation for the duties performed provided. No county has a right to expect good men to work for a niggardly income. Efficient service is demanded and should be suitably remunerated. When the next session of the territorial legisla- ture meets the compensation of pub- lic officials should receive careful at- tention and the remuneration for the officeholder should be commensurate with the duties expected and required. Tne salary should be sufficient to in- duce the best of our citizens to aspire to office, not with a desire for gain, but with the knowledge that for faith- ful service they would be suitably re- warded. A parsimonious and insuf- ficient salary law is but an induce- ment to men to become dishonest, and it is better to pay good men a reasonable and just amount than to be robbed by office -seekers who pos- sess no qualification for place.—Re- cord. The horse that Buffalo' Bill had ridden in all his exhibitions of the Wild West show, and which will be remembered by all who saw the ex- hibition, died on the voyage from London to New York, on the 17th day of May, just five years to a day from the time this show was opened at Omaha, Neb. The body of the horse was given a regular sea burial, being wrapped in a canvas shroud. The band played \Auld Lang Syne\ and the canon boomed a last fare- well as the canvas was dropped into the water.
