.6 THE AGE - - - BOULDER, MONT. WEDS - 1 , 14%AI,', MAT 9, 1888. , - .. THE FIRST NUMBER of the Gazette, the new Missoula paper, has reached.' this office and is extended cordial greeting. It is a well printed eight - column folio, quite well filled with • reading matter and having a liberal advertising patronage. It will be DemoCratic in polities and favors the renomination of Cleveland. The ed- itor is Hon. W. J. McCormick, a T gen- tleman widely known in th _ erritory and who, though hisoffic;connec- tion with the press has been rather limited, has written much for news : papers and wields a facile pèn. • He will hold the political -end of the paper in good shape. It is understood that the local department - 1s in charge of J. E. Stevens, formerly - of the Benton River Press and later of. the Townsend Tranchant. The gentleman has had enough experience to enable him to get the news if there is any going. The paper has strong backing and' will doubtless be a financial success, though the management made a serious mis- take in the first place in not securing the subscription list of the old Mis- soulian. A MERCHANT of Boulder said the other day that he did not think adver- tising did his business much good Un- less his advertisement could go in as local news where people could ho 'ina manner tricked into reading them; that people generally dichibt read dis- played or standing advertisements. The fallacy of the gentleman'i, theory is hest shown bran illustration. In the first column of THE AGE is apiece of solid reading matter in small type which has appeared in every issue of the paper -mince it started. After the ei fourth issue the last line, containing the signature, was changed in a very slight degree, but in making the change an \X\ was substituted for the . \K and the error went- through -one- edi- tion. Within the week came a letter from a friend asking if that prospectus was reset each week and why. Then canie ii - létUili•om a reader, the ad- dress on the envelope showing the same error as the printed line. There were other indications which proved that the error was noticed by a very considerable proportion of the readers, and which' fact proves that the stand- ing advertisme_nt has its beneficent in- fluence on prospective patrons. THE ALLFÁJED LAWYER who revised the Territorial Statutes in accordance 'with the act of the Terbtorial Legis- lature a year ago, ought to be dis- barred from practice on the grounds that he knows no law and that he ac- cepts pay for services which he has not rendered. II the Helena bar does not do something , lof the kind, the Montana Bar Association should take the matter in hand at its next session. The printing law is a fair sample of the work Ile - did. The Legislature a year ago_prissecLa..nuw—prizitiag-law, re-ducing the rates, placing the county printing in the hands of the Çounty Commissioners to regulate, and in various ways amending the old law. Instead of preparing the Compiled Laws SO as to havea consistent print- ing law, the compiler has pimply thrown the old and the new laws to- gether in a body, and there is nothing to indicate which is the law except two or three notes saying that certain sec- tion were passed at a givdt time and certain other sections at another time. From the complaints resounding throughout the Territory it is probable the rest of, statutes have been \com- piled\ on the same - plan, and there is not the slightest doubt but that the indexing' is an utter failure. The lawyers of the Territory should have professional pride enough to prevent a man sailing under their colors who would palm off such a work as the Compiled Statutes on an unsuspecting public. W. F. Haase, an old-time merchant of Diamond City, died in Preuzhau, Germany, on March 25th, of inflam- mation - of the brain. THE ,BUILDING ASSOCIATION. Quite a number of gentlemen met at * court -house last Wednesday. even - mg pursuant to the adjournment. of the previous meeting to consider the organization of a Building and Loan Association. Mr. Wm. Morris acted as chairman of the meeting and Mr. R. J. Dougherty secretary. -- The subject was very fully discussed and it was finally decided to perfect the organization of -an Ammociation. A number of shares were subscribed for, bringing the number taken at that time - up to three hundred. _Mr. A. H.. Foater was chosen temporary treas- urer', and the admission fee on more than one hundred shares was paid by the subscribers present. Messrs. J. C. Hunter, A. H. Foster, W. H. Pierce, W. Stine, Will Kennedy, Wm. Morris, R. J. Dougherty, V. A. Cook, and Lees Taylor were selected to act' as the trustees in the incorporation, the five first -mentioned to make applica- tion to the Secretary of the Territory for the necessary license. The meet- ing was then adjourned with the hope that the first -series of stock of the Association would amount to at least one thousand shares. It may be well to give some of the Important points of the Territorial law governing Building and Loan Aa- sociations. Five or more persons may tile with the Secretary of the Territory a certificate setting forth their desire to form an Association, stating its name, object, place of business, capi- tal stock, etc., and naming nine trus- tees to manage the affairs of the Asso- ciation until the first annual meeting. The Secretary will issue a license to the persons named as trustees and they will proceed to receive subscrip- tions to the capital stock. When fifty shares or more have been taken the trustees shall call a Meeting of the subscribers for the purpose of electing nine trustees, adopting by-laws, and transacting such other business as may be necessary, and this shall - bá the first annual meeting. Three of the trustees shall be elected to serve three years, three fOr two years, and three for one year, and at each annual meeting thereafter three trustees shall be elected to serve three years. The' trustees and officers must be stock- holders. The trustees are elected by a majority vote of the persons hold-' ing stock, • and not, as has been inad- vertently stated heretofore, by a ma- jority vote of the stoc Within ten days aftr the first an- nual meeting the fi‚t trustees shall file with the Secfétiry of the Territory a certificate showing the holding of the annual meeting, the names of the trustees elected and their terms, and the names of the stockholders and the number of shares they hold. The Secretary then issues a certificate of complete incorporation, attaching cop- ies of all the papers filed, and when this has been recorded in the office of the County Clerk and Recorder the -Association ia fully incorporated. The officers of the Association shall be a president, secretary, treasurer and other officers as the by-laws may pro - ‚vide, all to be el4ted by the trustees, andnone except the secretary to re- ceive any compensation. • The treas- urer must give bond with three sure- ties in doyble the amount of money he is likely to have in his possession. The secretary may be, and generally is, required to give a like bond. The par value of the stock shall be 8.100, and subscriptions shall be paya- ble in periodical instalments, not to exceed \Il2 per share at one payment. The stöUk may be issued in successive Stockholders may Withdraw by giving sixty days' notice, and will be entitled to receive the amount paid on the stock, and such interest or pro- portion of the profits as the by-laws may determine, leas initiation fee and fines and other charges. Stated meet- ings for loaning the money shall not be held oftener than once a month. The funds can be loaned only to stock- holders. A borrower may repay his loan at any time, and in that even shall be allowed such a proportionate • amount of the premium as the trus- tees may deem equitable or the by- laws may prescribe, but determinedia near as practicable on the baais of the maturity of the series'. The mert- gages.held by the Association are not taxable, and the mortgages may be recorded at a uniform rate of $1.50 if the Association will furnish to the County' a printed form book. The law , covers numerous other points comlected with the workings of an Association but of not so much in- terest to subscribers generally as those here . given. Taken altogether the jaw is very liberal and extends all proper encouragement for the organi- zation of such corporations. The ci.- izens of Boulder should improve the opportunity to form a Strong and reli- able Association. MAINTAIN INDIVIDUALITY. [Communicated.] ,› 'Tis not enough in this day and age to be known to the outside world in a vague and general way as a part of the mountain country tributary to the territorial capital and helping as an adjunct to contribute to its fame. Jefferson County should have credit as an individual county for whatever advantages it possesses, and Boulder as a city should have full credit for the growth it is now enjoying, and for future ontlook as the county -seat of one of the beat counties of Montana. It is not amiss nor even unfair to let the world know of the two railway lines now rushing their wqrk here and the other roads and branches now rapidly becoming certainties that will help to make Boulder a railway center. There are a great many town - sites, east, west, north and south claiming attention and bidding heavi- ly for capital to come and invest— heavily, that is, in handbills, folders, circulars. Others are pouring in thousands of dollars in clean cash to portray their merits. Quite a portion -of emigrants from the teat, by the im- pulse of discontent before starting and the desire of the railway companies to sell leng tickets, are led to along through Montana into Washing- ton Territory and Oregon. The 'merits of the valleys and their good towns just off the trunk line are very likely to be overlooked by the pass- ing emigrant. Modesty is well enough in general, but while other cities and towns the world over ar ê emphasizing the merits of all.advantages they pos- tee, there can be no harm nor impro- priety in the advantages of Jefferson bounty, angjoulder as its metropolis_ being &lily set forth to the outside world. Other counties and other cities will hardly take the pains to clh this kind of work for you. Active and efficient journalism, of the kind that will stimulate the - development of the resources, stimulate wholesome emulation in public improvements; that will encourage the right in all things and expose and properly v8nti- late the evils of whatever kind and put the emphasis' - Where it belongs; -.that will qiiicken the people with new aspirations to make the utmost of life, show them the -highest and nêblest objecta to live for; this kind of journal- ism will help build up a city and county more than statistics can show, and the person who promotes this will do great good to the present and the rising generation.

The sheds were entire- ly destroyed and the fire extended in- to the tunnel, burning the timbering put in last year at the time of 4,he cave. Every effort was made to smother thé fire, but at the present writing the condition of the tunnel can not be aacer_ined. The overhead line has been repaired and, is now in use. There are fears that if thé timbers in the tunnel are burned there will be another cave, and when the tunnel will be in fit condition for use again is very problematical. THE WICKES TUNNEL. , The progress on the Wickes tunnel for the week .ending _Saturday, April 28th, Was as follows:\ North end, fifty-seven feet; south end, forty-nine feet; total, 106 feet; total tunnel - com- pleted, 3,947 feet. RAILROAD BUILDING THIS YEAR. c‘ The following special dispatch from St. Paul was in the Helena Independent a few days ago. It may be merely con- jecture on the part of some railroad editor. At the worst it promises the completion of the Butte and Helena extensions of th q Northern Pacific and the Montana Central. The 'dispatch says: \It is reported that the Manitoba aid Northern Pacific railroad com- panies have entered into a mutual agreement by which no Montana ex- tensions are to be built this year by either road. An official of the Mani- toba says that his road has some work, begun in Montana last year, which will be finished this year, but beyond that none of the new work planned beyond surveys will be carried out for the present. The Manitoba has certain extensions in Minnesota and Dakota which it desires to complete, partieu- lafly extensions into South Dakota, to build which, this year, Mr. Hill gave' k_ p pledges lia m r sumer to lie towns hi- terested. The Northern acific was very willing to meet him half way in the proposition, to suspend . Montana operations this year, owing to the bad condition of the iron and money markets, and the possible tariff legis- lation Which, it is claimed, will seri- ously disturb railroad construction for the present. Hill is said to particu- larly desire this delay, as he has plans for surveys which he wishes to carry out looking to the construction of his transcontinental line from Montana to southern California, and not to the northern Pacific coast, as was suppos- ed. - The Northern.Pacific is anxious to complete its Dakota extensions to Manitoba this year, and to push its Fergus Falls division on to the Black Hills. These are the main reasons given by sub -officials of the roads for a temporary' delay in Montana work.\ VALLEY COUNTY NEWS. [From the Townsend Tranchant.] Rufus M. Vaughn and Miss Anna Edith Hubbart were married in Townsend on Sunday, April 22d, the wedding being quite a swell affair for that little burg. • Mrs. John MCUormick died at her home near Townsend on April 18th. She was a daughter of John Lloyd, of the valley. She was but twenty-one years old at the time of her death and had been married two years. J. A. Torrence, the Northern Pacific agent recently acquitted of the charge of embezzlement preferred by the com- pany, is going to open a law office at Toston and will begin business by bringing suit against the railroad com- pany for heavy damages. Thc Six -Mile coal mine, owned by Hudson & Co., has been developed the past winter by an additional tunnel, tapping the vein. about 200 feet lower than did the first tunnel, and showing a superior quality of coal, which is hard and free from dirt and gives off no unpleasant odor. The Iron Age mine at Placer is turn- ing out much better than as expect- ed. Some 2,000 tons of rock was on the dump, only about a third of which was ore, but as it was impracticable to separate the good from the bad, the stamps were set to work on the rock as it stood, the result being an average of $11 to the ton, which shows that the ore will pay to work.
