P,sstollisse of Boulder ,••• Valley, Montana Territory, 141 mastrond-olasamaU matter THE political papers in the Terri- tory are now engaged, in strenuous ef- forts to prove that the utmost har- mony Prevails in the ranks of tlieir own particular party, while internal dissensions Of an irreconcilable char- acter are practically annihilating the opposition. All this may give some confidenée to a few of the minor * ad- herents of the party, but to a diSin- terested listener it sounds very mech like buncombe. • A rinernEn of the eitizens of Boulder and, Boulder valley have in the past 'week or . two planted numerous fruit and ornamental trees, and their good example should have many 11111 tators in the future. There is no doubt hut that the hardier fruits will _mature hereand doubtless With a flavor and a 'freshness which warmer elimeem can not give them. Besides, nothing adds so much tó the beauty of . town and country as green trees and they, frequently prove an important factor in inducing set- tlers to leeate. DUANE J. A uNtstuf ms1:, late editor of the lifimoulian, was last week sent to the insane asylum, the. diseaso. with which he has been afflicted resúlt big in this. He will probably never reeover but is likely tó die - in perhaps a short time. lie ham fOr severaLyears been troubled with softeninemf the brain and his many friends have net:ed with regret that in the past, year it has been growing upon him very rap- idly. He has been as upright a Man as ever existed mind a good companion until his disease grew so bad, and it is a misfortune certainly that his end- ing should be in this way. 'lie has edited the Mimoutitom (of. ten years', and the popularity of the Palier under his management was proof: that he was able to suit the majority of his constit- uents. Hi à wife and other relatives have the ‚deep sympathy of all who know him and them. THE Deinocratic Territorial Central Committee met ie.1 , Ielena last Monday and after a very harmonious meeting elected lion. Martin Maginimis, of Ilel- ena, and Hon. Thomas C. Marshall, of Missoula, as delegates to the National Convention which meets in Si. -- I,ottis June 9th, with 'A. J. Davidson, of Helena, and John A. Savage, of Liv- ingston, as alternates. Dr. A. .11. Mitchell, of Deer Lodge, was 'selected to represent the Territory 'on the Na- tional Committee, a position he was crowded out of four years ago by the Hon. W. J. McCormick, of Missoula. Butte was chosen as the place tO hold the Territorial Convention to'nomi- nate a candidate for Delegate to Con- gress. The basis of representation in that &invention was fixed at one dele- gate for each one hundred votes east at the --last election - for' Hon. J. K. Toole. This will give Jefferson county fourteen delegates in the convention. Tau prodigality of Members of Con- gress with the public- money when • there happens to be á surplus in the, treasury is fully illustrated by the Direct Tax bill. Early in the war ;of • the rebellion a direct tax qf $20,000,000 was levied on the people of the United States by Coagriss and apportioned to theseveral States according to popu- • lation : * Of this amount all was paid except $2,640,314, and the - Direct Tax bill now in Congress provides for pay- - - - - - - - * j IT WILL 1101V be ill order for the Sen- .: alien() publish four or live columns of alleged correspondence from all the precincts in the county, but all writ- ten' by one person, flattering the paper with the idea that it Was the cause of the bonds' electiOn ging favorably, and throwing out unnecceseary S and •unwarranted insinuations about THE Self -prame i s ra very cheap at ., • titge, with em•respending value. • • THE prohibitionists of the Territory met in Helena, last Friday' and Wade the preliminary arrangements for the. organization of that element as a political body, and it scents prohatile, that they will have full territorial and -county tiekets in the field this year. Boulder, which' lias a strong temper- ance element, was not represented in the meeting, r which may be accepted asevidenee that t he temperance people here do not believe in accomplishing the great moral reforma by legislation litit by personal efforts, which the ¡rue principle. • ment back to the States all that has been paid. The only good reason for this is the surplus in the treasury and perhaps die sooner the legislative body gets rid ofthis the .dooner -will it get to mOre impOrtant work ; The major- ity of the House of pepresentatives is in favor of the measure but there is a very strong and determined minoriiy and that minority was able to keep .\ the House ina dead e loek over time bill — for more, than a 'week and then to gr,owth of Bouldes or whether the postpone further -consideration until town must emain almost ai a stand - the December sósion. , kill. This . small body is composed of the few gentlemen who Own most a the real estate in and in close * Proxima- itY to the town. • If they. adopt the argument of the enemies of Boulder . and say that their real estate has ine creased in value from twenty-five to a hundred per &Int. by the carrying of the court -house measure', and raise the price of their town -lote accordingly, they will be taking most effective measures to prevent the growth of the twn and practically to deprive them- selves Of the use' of the money -which in a few years ;may be of no use 'to them whatever. - That policy, is not only selftet but foolish, and has. time 'and. again killed the town where . it was adopted 'or delayed the growth of the place until the projectors of the policy died off; ,unwept, tudnumred, and unsung. Even now the sak of a town -lot in Boulder is a subject for considerable pudtmic comment, which certainly would not be • the case it' Boulder were the growing, promising town some of its citizens profess to be- lieve it to be. The oldmotto of quick sales and small profits butline,s the wis&mtPolicY for all, and it is to be' hoped it will be adopted here. _ THE ELECTION RETURNS.' The following table shows the result 'of the election last Saturday in the various Precincts in the county as far as heard from,, on the proposal& to issue $4.Q .z _000 *mill of bonds with which to build a court -house * for Jef- ferson county: . Preeitiette. Claneey J'efrensou City Boulder s Whitehall Fie Creek bower Boulder c i VICTORY ! As Might have - heen expected from such an intelligent and liberal. etiple as are engaged in building up Jeffer- son eMtnty, the election on the 'prepo- sition to. issue 840,000 in bonds to build a court -house for the cotimity has been Carried byan almost three to one vote, though the large majority sur- prised even the most arded friends of tits measure. This majority, however, is but. another evidence of . the general indepe • ndence and justiee of the Amer- ican people, which qualities are >ear- antees of the stability of the, nation. • The County ConnaiSSioners will take humediate steps toward carrying out the wishes- of the people itt the matter of t he erection of a ‚ court-house, and it is' hardly necessary to say that theme gentlemen Will do their work with min eye single to the best interests of the peepleand with that financial 11 My and probity it Ilia has hereto- fore characterized their public actions as well as their private lives. The bonds will be sold at least at par and for as much more as can be had, the plans and Slice - iheatitmuà will be adopt- ed after competitive examination, the work will be let to the lowest respon- sible bidders, contractors will be re- qu i r l ed tu..gwe bondsJor_ the $aithiful performance of their contracts -and • will be held to a strict iteconetabilitx,- the - eiisy payment of interest and. bo ' lluls Will he provided forľn . short, the great confidence manifested in the Commissioners by the handsome vote given in •fiwor of the issue of the bonds will not be betrayed by them. - The people of Boulder are to be congratulated on the confidence of the people generally as manifested by this vote that - the county -seat is perma- nently located at Boulder and that the individuality df Jefferson county as a political organization will be main- tained. In accepting theie ideas as truths, hoWever, the people of Boulder should feel, that they owe * a constant debt to the county generally, the pay- ment of which debt' - will redound' its largely - to th'eben - efinf the people of ' Boulder themselves as to the rest of the county. This implied obligation on the part of thecitizons . of thisphice is to promote in every way Possible the eevelopme of 'the resources Of the county,. to ént1rage the, erection of smelting works, of Amu-- mills, of woolen mills, bf other mantifaetures and industriel, whereby the Miners a the county can have their orespilled without a heavy expense for.. transpor- tation and the farmers can find the best of , home markets for their pro- ducts. Evidently all this will he for the lénefit of the town as well as .of , - the county, -and the,spirit of , greed - would dictate this policy if there were .no higheriliotive.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Tuesday of last week whili' - Divid Williams, of •Crow Creek, was driving home from - . the timber with a load of logs, one wheel of the wagon slipped into a gully, the wagon was tilted -and Mr. Williams thrown off.. He then rolled under the wagon and the wheel passed over his thighs. - A young son who *as along stopped * the horses, helped his -father- all-heemildend-then went foî h assistance, by which jured ma was conveyed to hià home. An examination . showed that no bones were broken and while the injury • 'a - sewer° one the physician in at atm. hopes the patient will éomn around all right. • TERRITORIAL NEWS. Peter, Harrington and Frank Roach were blown up in the St. Latence mine at Butte last week by the explo- sion of some giant powder Caps.. Thé fault of the explosion is laid to the earelessnessof the men. Nearly every serious accident which has Occurred in of 'late is Phan ed carelessness or neglect 13n the part of the workmen with an tínvariableness * which is certainly rather remarkable. MINING NEWS. Seven menina row boat were up- set in the Missouri river at Benton Eight bars of bullion, weighing about 14,000 ounces, came down from. the Elkhorn a few day* ago. McMillan & Brick, of Elkhorn, are still pushing their tunnel on the High: land Mary lode and are finding better ore as they go in. The last assay was' $273 in gold. J. W.

Roger McCaffrey, of Basin, was in town yesterday and reported — prospect- ing as beginning -with mt - promise of a great deal being done in that line this sumnier and the probability that there would be some very rich developments in old and new prospects:this year. An assay made of ore from the Virginia Belle - Exteneion owned ,by Uncle lien Mason, gives 131 ounces of silver and a trace of gold. The sample was not the best to be found, either. Ifincle Ben wrote to President Broad - water about his being prevented from going into the tunnel to see about his lead . and received a very court- eous reply from Thomas Langford, secretary of the company, saying he would have the privilege as soon as the men got past the point so his pres- ence would not interfere with their labors. • SOCIAL NEWS. r - • Mrs. Wm.
