SS ———————————————_=__== In our issue of last week ‘‘Citi- zen’? devoted a column to the growth. _oftowns,..._having...in *“-mind-more particularly our own Whitehall. It is well that the attention of our citizens should be drawn in that direction. -.1t should be the desire of each and every one to see the material interests of the town advanced in every legitimate way; and undoubtedly every citizen is willing to use his influence and contribute liberally of his time to help attain the end which must certainly be de- sired by all. ‘Citizen’? calls attention tothe mineral wealth which is stored in the _ hills which surround us, and suggests the effect upon the business of this place which would follow the development of the mining indts- try hereabouts. What may be done along this line only the future cap tell. Whitehall is certainly on the map to stay; and whether it shall advance or stagnate is of im- portance to every citizen, whether “he is the owner of a’single lot or the proprietor of some business dependent upon the town and contiguous territory for support. If the people are not awake to the needs of the town, it is well that someone should sug- gest that they “‘open their eyes and see what is needed to help improvements along.” <A definite purpose to advance the interests of the place, coupled Montana Mention.

If the above statement is true, such men as Representative T. E. Burton, of Ohio, who led the Opposition to. the subsidy bill in the last congress, must be set down as_being ‘‘agin the Government;”’ and it would also be reasonable to include in the list the vénerable Senator Hoar, for his opposition to the Philippine policy,.and the late Senator Sherman, who was on ther aquisition of territory by our Government, not to mention hosts of others who have opposed . Measures advocated by the may- jority of their party 2 congress. The reports of floods and furi- ous storms extending over a great portion of the eastern half of thi United States, and the recent howling blizzard in~ the greater part of the. northwest, make a man whois fortunate enough to be aresident of Whitehall or the Jefferson valley, where, during almost the entire winter, the weather has been mild and bright, with hardly enough of ‘‘the bean- tiful” fora good sleigh ride; fcel like shaking hands with himself. We wish to remind the farmers of this vicinity of the Farmers’ Institute tobe held in Whitehall on Friday and Saturday, March 28th and 29th.

John Gram, an aged prospector and miner, was found dead in his cabin near Garrison last week Wednesday: The corner’s ver- dict was, ‘‘died of starvation. >The relatives of the dead man are un- known, and nothing was found up- on his body or in his cabin to give any clew to them: : Tom Harney, a bachelor ranch- man of Roberts, is insane from too much drink, has been committed to the state asylum. Harney had previously been in three different asylums, and was released from the Warm Springs institution seven years ago, It is said that all his insane attacks have been brought on by excessive drinking.

F an4 Tacd af Rinon. The only herd of bison of any importance, now left-in the. Uuited | States from. the millions which al few years ago roamed over the entire country between the Mis- souri river and the Rocky moun- tains, consists of about fifty full- blooded buffalo, andthe same numberof ‘Witxed bloods, all now the-property of James Phillip of Forte Pierre, who is khown all over the range country as ““Scotty’’ Philip. This herd is the product of a kunt twenty years ago, when Fredrick Dupree, an old French trapper, forseeing the early ex- termination of the species, started for the little Missouri country to capture a few calves for the pur- pose of raising a herd. In this hunt he led a band of Indians and rhalfbreeds, who only necomplished the purpose for. which they set out after a long and dangerous search among the few small bunches of buffalo yet known to be reaming in that country. ‘Only half a dozen calves were taken aliyé,*and from these the present herd has grown. Mr. Dupree allowed the buffalo to range practically wild on the Cheyenne river, with no further attetition than to see that they did not get out of that partof the state, where they were kept until his death. In the settlement of the estate none of the numerous heirs cared to take them as his share of the, estate, and they were sold to “Scotty”? Philip, after an in- effectual attempt to dispose of them to the general government. ; Just what the value of the herd is is problematical, but as it is the only herd left in the country on which to draw for specimens, this will- giye it an increasing value as the years go by. Having had practically, the same freedom ag in their native state, the specimens of the herd are somewhat different from those usually seen in parks and ‘menag- eries. One bull out of this herd was sold for show purposes about ten years ago for $1,000. To me the essence of character means self possession.

And they also know his reputation asa runner. This being the case they will probably not be much surprised that in a“re- cent contest at the school he carried off the honors. _ In the 20- yard dash Harry won a silver cup: time, 3 2-5 seconds. In the relay races. the team ef which he was captain won medals. The medals were presented by Mrs. Henry “Brock, 2 —-cousin—of President’ Roosevelt. Though he did ‘well this time jt was not his first succesfnl attempt. He was also one of the winning team last’year. Harry has not only made a record for himself in running, but last fall he devoted considerable attention to foot ball. Takjng into con- sideration his’ past. record the Madisonian ‘predicts bright! future for him in athletic sports. As Harry: was born and raised in Virginia City this goes to show that to” find an athlete one does not have to go beyond the limits of old. Alder gulch.—Madisonian. LLL A Beaver’s Toilet. - . It is an interesting sight to watch the outlaw at his evening toilet. To begin with, instead of sitting up with his large flat ribbed tail protruding behind him, he tucked it forward between his legs and sat upon it. Then with his hand he carefully combed his long hair,-using both hands at the same time. There.are many places, however, that could not be reached in this way, for-his arms are very short and his body large, so he combed otherwise inaccessible places with his hind feot, using first one and then the other. The “entire operation was per- formed with the utmost delibera- tion and care and occupied more than a quarter of an hour, so that by the'time it was completed day- Neht eee The ancestors of the present generation, who would. have scouted the idea of faith cures, wore little bags of sssafoctida ee Weer ens teas PEOPLE Am Important Capture. The capture of Geiieral Lucban on the island of Samar is. considered by the war the most impor: ‘tant military event in the Philippines since ® capture, General Lueban is one of the most energetic and flercest fightersamong the Fill- pinos. He is sald to be a half breed, GENERAL LUCBAN. a mixture of Chinese and Filipino stock, and has been an irreconcilable from the first. He had various fast- nesses in the motntains of Samar, from. which he would descend upon the coast towns, and he appeared to have the entire population of the is- land completely under his control. He Leves Durke’s “Peerage.” One of. Andrew Carnegie's friends made the apparently contradictory statement that the steel king “bas no use for lords and yet loves Burke's ‘Peerage’ more than ayy other book in his library.” Then he explaived. It seeins that. Mr. Carnegie was always and fs still an ardent admirer of James Gy Blaine, with whom one summer he took a coaching trip through England. As a souvenir of this vacation the American statesman presented the mil- lionalre with an elaborately bound and very hundsome copy of the famous book, In which are recorded the his- toric and heraldic facts about all the noble families of Great Britain and Ire land. y “Mr. Carnegie bas read and studied that book by the bour,” continued his friend, “and while thus’ renewing his memories of a man he so admired jhas accumulated a remarkable knowledge of peerage history, especially that which pertains to the Scottish nobill- ty.”\—Philadelphia Press. . A Star Customer, Rutherfurd Stuyvesant’s return to America always gives nn air of bustle to the old fashioned locality of Stuvva. ant aquace, aut tne lights gleaming In the great mansion give this nelghbor- hood of other days once more a festive appearance. Rutherfurd Stuyvesant is really Stuyvesant Liutherrurd. He changed bis ‘name fn order to benefit by an*inheritance from his Stuyvesant relatives. He is a brother of Winthrop Rutherfurd and Mrs. Henry White, the Wife of the charge d'affaires at the court of St. James. Mr. Stuyvesant has many ideas of another day, and one of these is the employment of a barber, who comes each day to shave him. Now yalets are supposed to perform this service, but in former years Mr. Stuyvesant always went to a certain barber’s in the vicinity, and his advént in this country brings great joy to the shop, as he is the star customer.—New York Times. J Designer ef the Meteor. A. Cary Smith, designer of the Ger- man emperor's yacht Meteor, whose launching wis the fixed occasion of Prince Henry's visit to this country, is one of the leading nautica! designers of America. Mr. Smith designed the Yampa, a steel keel schooner, which R. Snydam Palmer took to Wurope. At ser saw the Yampa and was 80 much A. CARY SMITH. impressed that be sought.and learned the name of her designer. Finally the emperor purchased the Yampa, which he renamed Iduna and presented.to the Empress Frederica, and the yacht has since been used as a sort of train- ing ship for the royal family. When the kaiser decided to build a new royal yacht, he sent the head naval con- structor of the German navy to Amer- ica to look over designers and builders, and he was not disappointed when that expert reported in favor of Mr, Smith. So the latter received the or- der, and the Meteor, recently launched at the yards of Townsend & Downey, at Shooter's island, is ‘the result. ————————a The first geogrphy printed in this country was compiled by | Jedediah.
