A PBOCLAMATTlXN. Gov. Toole has issued the following proclamation concerning the observance of Arbor Day: 0 S tate of M ontana , E xecutive O ffice , H em :?; v , M arch 4,1892. Tuesday, the 19.th day of April, A. D. 1892, is hereby set apart as a day for the planting of trees,Leaufcifyiog homes, cemeteries, highways, public grouuds, and landscapes, and those who teach in public schools are especially requested to train the thoughts of the youth in tree planting and decorating by practi cal observance of that day. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my » and and caused the great seal of t tie bi i.te to be affixed at the city of Helena, the capital of the said State, this fourth day of March, A. D. 1892. By the Governor: Jos. K.'. T oole . L. R otwitt , Secretary of State. A little more persevering in your efforts, gentlemen, and there will surely be a grist mill at this place and a bridge across the North Fork of Sun river. T he Indian department is about to establish a school in Montana for the education of the Indian. Inspector Leonard has recently visited Fort Shaw and he reports it the finest location for .such an institution to be found in the west. T he advantages to be secured to Choteau and the entire section from the Dearborn river on the south, to the British possessions on the north, by the erection of a first-class flouring mill at this place this season, are now appar ent to ourbusiness men, and from every indication the Choteau mills will b° turning out flour before the close of the year. N ext in importance to a flour ing mill at this place is the con struction of a bridge across the North Fork of Sun rvier. The benefits to be derived from these two projects are incalculoble, not only to this town, but to the en tire surrounding country. They mean a saving of over $200,000 annually to the people living along the base oi ttie mountains, north from the Dearborn to the Boundary line. T he recent action of the county commissioners in disallowing a deputy sheriff for Choteau is not calculated to serve the best inter ests of the people of this neighbor hood nor ot the county, for that matter. The great distance from tho county seat not only causes vexatious delays, but greatly in creases ahe expenses of serving legal papers. By appointing a deputy for this end of the county much o f these could be done away with. Then in the matter ef not allowing the assessor deputies to assist in gathering complete lists of property in the county within the-prescribed time we think the commissioners did not do the pro per thing. We are inclined to think a loss will result to the county for this pennv-wise course. As w ill be not iced by the Governor’s proelamatioh, Tuesday t.he 19th ot April is set apart as Arbor Day. On this day the pu- plis of the public schools of the state are required to engage in the planting of trees. The people generally, are also expected to plant trees, either along the high ways or in their private grounds. As the citizens of Choteau have a large number of of shade and orna mental trees stored in Bishop Hopkinson’s garden, why not make it a general order for Arbor Day to turn out en masse plant them along the streets as original ly intended? A meeting of the Town Improvement Committee should be called at once to attend to this matter. BAKING PO W DER in the New Y o r k Legislature. The following, taken from “ The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter,” refers to a new bill just introduc ed in the legislature of New York State: “ The latest development in the baking powder war, is the introduction of a bill in the Legislature of this State, requir ing all packages of baking powder which contain ammonia, t& be branded with a statement of that fact in large type on the label. Now while the ammonia contention is on, why cannot the law give the public the benefit of the doubt? Wholly unpre judiced people are certainly not willing to be dosed with the substance acknow- leged as a poison, simply because scient ists, some of whom are notevenphysiol ogists, disagree as to its potency.” A similar bill was introduced last April but it is shrewdly sur mised that the influence of inter ested parties prevented its pass age. The provisions of the pres ent bill are so just that, it probablv will soon become a law. This will be welcome news to tiie rnanufaelurers of pure Cream of Tartar baking powders, the most prominent of whom is the Price Baking Powder Co. of Chi cago and St. Louis, makers of Di. Price’s Cream Baking Powder, who have always made a strictly pure Cream of Tartar powder, not withstanding the temptations of adulteration suggested by the enormous profits realized by a large New York concern which uses ammonia, and advertises its powder as strictly pure, by means of garbled official reports and cer tificates signed by its own employ ees, dubbed professor, doctor or government chemist, as fancy may dictate. A bill compelling alum powders to be conspicuously labeled as such, already exists in Minnesota and it is to be hoped in the inter est of the consumer that similar laws will soon be enacted in other states, for ammouia as well as alum. The following powders known to contain either ammonia or alum or both, will be affected by the proposed legislation: Royal, Pearl, Calumet, Chicago Yeast, Forest City One Spoon (Taylor’s), Bon Bon, Kenton, Echo, Snow Puff, Unrivalled, Yarn a ll’s One Spoon, Shephard’s Economical. Crown, Climax, Hercules, Monarch, New Era, Snow Bull. I. S. CORSON, R E A L E S T A T E . ES~.R ancm P r o p c r t y a S pecialty . . - « f ROOM IR, DUNN BLOCK.
