UxmRthe new apportionment law the electoral eol ego which is to elect the m-xl president of the Unite! States will con i t of 450 votes; consequent ly the success ful candidate must receive 226 votes. The democrats claim the ‘Solid south.” Delaware, New York, New Jer-ey, Connecticut and Montana, which would give then) just one majority. The re publicans claim 223 votes surely, which includes Ca ifornia, ludi ana and three of the new states, but need three more votes with the uhance of obtaining them -- without considering New York •• in Connecticut or M mtanu. New Yoik will still be the pivotal st ate. A ccording to State Aulitor Kenney the slaughter of bear in Montana this year has been simp’y wonderful, and that fully half the appropriation, $12,000 fer bounties lias gone to pay for bounty on bearskins. The law allows $5 for each skin, so ir will he seen the number killed during the year was in the neighborhood of 1,200. lie staled that black and cinua inou bear are the species most re ported at the state department, and that Missoula, Dawson and Ouster eouniies furnished the most of them. Ad the bi»unlie> are allowed on an affidavit made before a justice, whose duty it i> to punch a hole in tne skin. Mr. Kenney reports also th it quite a number of mountain lion were killed tins year W es . ern Choteau county con stimes yearly from 2,003.000 to 3,000.000 pounds of flour, paving therefore from $70.0 0 to $105,000, all of which money go -s ea->t. W a ask our ranchmen if t his is as it idiould be and before the last echo of our voice has died away We are greeted with cries of “No! No! Not in a country where wheat growing su ceeds as it does here.” Well, wiiat are we going to do to keep this money at home, we a>k? “G.ve us a mid and we w.il g ow the wheat” is Ihe response. Now, ii you will g ve us your gu i ran tee that you will seed a certain num- bet of acivs to wheal, next sea-on, we will find a miller who wili gu iranlee to build a mill to grind your wheat, and thus glop tin- great tinm*s-wry dr »in upon your purses.

Missoula county is in much the same fix as Choteau couu y. though not nearly so large a c.oun- ry. Hear why they want “county division” and then look at the sit uation in this cou ily. “County division” is the Ciy now, since Fiat Head « nines down to the couniy seat with a docket that send-a pang of distress to the hearts of our tax p ivers. The costs encountered by M ssoula county from that country looms up like a great high mount, tin to a we try traveler - too much to get over.-- Sievetisvilie News. The people of the Flathead country want divi-ion, ami want it badly. Tuey have livid long euoug.i under i he rule of men who believe Mts-oula city an I the Bit ter Boot valley are the only local it ies entii led lo cons.derat ¡on. • - Columbian. There are several things in Ihe way of county division. First: flu-re is Marcus D ilv*s senator. Matts, wiio, unfortunately,absorbs ill.* place oi Missou a’s represent ative i i t h e Montana senate and w io is no in »re responsible for his acti its therein than any other wide-mouthed, wild eyed idiotic bai of all wind an l no sand. Second: Th - oppnsiiio i of th * •‘big” countin', to th ‘ present, ap porliourvtent and representation of state sena’ors is not calculated to aid in the formation of new counties so long as these little count ies s-ml such m -n as Mails to the senate at the beln sf of Marcus Dil.v am! other “b g” county managers. Third: There are party ami sec tional j -alonsies which, joined to these «»th -rs ngniii.'l division make it ex’reim-ly hard to create any more ••cow* «-omit ies” as Marcus Da’y terms them. If there is t«> bo any division of the less populous emu-dies of tlm >tate, 1 here must be united action in favor »»f such division, for it is ‘*c> 1 -tain sure” ilnteve'.v “big” county is opposed lo giving th-- “little” counties an.v more to say in legislative matters than what they now have. The “big” coun ties will try to have the constitu tion amended so that lepresenta- I ¡on in the senate shall be accord ing Depopulation instead of by counti«*s, as now. This would practical.y disfranchise lhe people of the stale outside of three or lour of I he most populous sic- lions. Se« ? T iie Knights of Labor now in ses'ion at Toledo, Onio, are con* -idering some questions of grave importance among which may be mentioned as lea i ng all .others, the public school question. Many of the «1. leg ites are Oil holies, yet. limy intend placing themselves on record in reference to this ques tion. The feeling seeins to he unanimous in favor of public -clmols. “The K lights believe in education as the only safeguard of this ami all other li.ie.ily loving nations. Educate your child. I don't care where, I leave that to you, but you mu -t, educate him or tlm stui • wid,” said a prominent R »man Catho'ic delegate. The L . t U it Li<k : C .*u tl. The trustees of the Laura Lake Canal compiny met at Great Falls «ui the 5lh iust.. and *■-lected the following officers. J. L\ Bouscaren, president; J J. I.llis, vice-presi dent;' J K. Clark, seen tay and treasurer. The other business of the board consisted in discussing the wavs and means for the inline- •• diate construction of the canal. All contracts made by J. P Bous- earen before the osganizatiou of ihe company were ratified hy the board. Among these contracts was one with Win. Bruce, of Cho teau, for ihe e »ns!ruction of the entire line of canals and lateral?-; al.-o, water contracts with land owners adjacent lo the canal. The board of dir. ctors voted a lew Mif- licient to pay for surveys and ex penses. The attorneys for the company are now in the field drawing up contracts for perpetual water rights at $8 per acre. There is a vast hotly of vacant land under the canal, between Bird» creek and Smith river, or Deep creek, and pirties who have not yet ust d their desert land rights, would do well to investigate the opportuni ty «»ffered to secure valuable prop ertv so near transportation and markets at Great Fails and Helena. It was the intention < f the com- pauy to begin construction at once l»ut the storm during the early part of the week has d layed the movement of the contractor ami po'sibl.v no great anmunt of work will be dmm until .spring, though if ill«.- wvallier should be good, work will be pu-h -d at once. ■ ■ -■■■' ■' ■ + > + — \ — -- ----------- A .« <>I«I Man.
