BUTTIC' GOO MOVE.
The great city of Butte, the metropoa
lie of Montana and the home of several
millionaires, has started a movement
o raise $80,000 by popular subsarip.
Ston, whiobh wit. use ed in hiring a
special train to bring the Montana reg.
mieat home after it lanud and is mum.
tered out at San Francisco. The plan
is Ope that is beung tried by several
staMte, which wish to show their appre.
,iation of the bravery and patriotism
of their soldier boys. The Nebraska
and Pennsylvania regiments seached
home this week via the special train
plan and in this way were saved no
little sum in car fare, wbich will come
in bandy to the soldier boys, who find
themselves ui need of every cent whicbl
they have received from the govern.
ment.
Butte is going this alone. Its oiti.
aen- do not want help from other
sources, but iC does not exclude other
oiSles from sending committees to at.
tend and take part in the reception to
be tendered the regiment, It seenms as
though Butte was acting rather selfish
in the matter, but its motive is a good'
one and the state at large will wish the
oity sueceme in its movement.
An esteemed democratic countempor
ary states that "It takes a republicar
tariff taxer to curse Germany for layin:
a prohibitive tariff oun American manl
factured goods." The American people
are not, at all averse to Germany o0
any other countries placing as high "
duty on imported goods as they desire,
even to the point of prohibition if they
wish. The only objection this country
has ever made to Germany's regula.
tious was wihen sl.e had made theta
espeolally relate to American product.s
requiring such investigatiouns, inspe
tibous, etc., with accompanying fees
and ohargea that the profits to Amerl
can goods were either consumed or the
goods spoiled before they could get t(
the consumer. As far as a straighi
tariff ia conterned, we are amply abli
to take care of ourselves, and in our ex
portations to compete with any country
in the world. As a matter of factt
Germany wants our products and equit
able arrangements are now being eon
tered into between the two govern
ments,

An exchange commenting editorially
on the increased Ainsessmest for this
state says: In Montana the grand as
sessment roll was not large enough to
meet the expenses of the state. The
board of equalisation did not sit around
wondering what to do, but promptly
made a horizontal increase in the assess.
ment of every county and the trouble
was over. When revenue difficuldes
arise, as they often do in western states
a wise and courageous board of asses-.
went may do the public an invaluable
service,
The latest news from Oarbonado is to
the effect that work was resumed in
the coal mines at that place last week.
For several weeks there has been no
little amount of uncertainty as to the
future of the mines, but it Is now said
that unah circumstances exist no longer.
The people of Carbonado are jubliant
and they have perfect reason to be.
The oltlaens of Butte will not only
have the hearty thanks of the boys of
the Montana regiment,but those of rol.
atives and friends of the boys also, if
they succeed in raising the $80,000 to
bring the boys home from tan Fran.
clsco in a special train.
No lonauer do you hear the inquiry :
"Have you s:+ee the General-Prosper
ity?" The evidences are too plain to
need qestiouing. This does not apply
to any one locality, but is general all
over this country,
Billings continues to show its super
iority in all things, The latest Is in
baseball circles. Two games out of a
series of three ware won froim the Hel
ean team, which WAS the best in the
state.
Here's three cheers and a tiger to the
Billings baseball club!

Ocean Grove, August 2,-.-Presidcut
McKinley in an addrens this afternoon
said:
"I believe there is more love for
our dountry and that pepple love the
flag more than ever before. Whenever
the floa in raised it nlands for freedom,
not despotism and oppression, but for
liberty, opportnuity anid humanity, iand
what the flag has done for us, we want
it to do for all people and all lands,
which by the fortunes of war have
come within its jurisdiction. The flag
does not mean one thing in the United
States and another in Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
"There has been sonme doubt in some
quarters respeating the present policy of
the government in the Philippines.
Peace first, and then with charity for
all, an established government of ,lAw
and order, protecting life and property,
and occupation for the we)l.being of
the people who will partcilpate under
the stars and stripes,"

The increuag of business of the Clarke's
Fork Coal Mining company l, some
thing wr'oderful says the Carbon County
Sentiq',i, The railroad company is
rushi.jg in oars as fast as it can get
tbe-,i to the tipple at Gebo. The
la.fgest number of cars brought in this
Weekl ninueteen on Tuesday and the
'larglet number of loaded coal oarn
taken out is thirteen, on Monday. The
largest order received in one day was
sixty-nine ears. Thus it is that the
business of the comjany is growing
faster than the entry work can be push.
ed, though a day and night force in
kept at work. The nigbt gang in kept
at entry work, while the day force is
getting out the coal,
The management of the company,
seeing the necessity of getting into the
mine a very much increased force of
miners, is forced to build quarters for
the employee, together with a large
company boarding house. These two
linl of enterpriso had been loft open
for private entorprise, but as the une.
cessity Is inlmmediate and no one bha
Jeen fit to embark in the venture tile
maungement, against its wishes, has
had to make this departure and under.
take the erection of buildings for the
housing and care of the hundreds of
luners that will soon be employed and
who cannot be attracted here till there
are proper ncoounmodations for the
working men.
The outlook for the future of the camp
and for the coal company is most prom
ilung, The Northern Paoific road is so
well satisfled with the coal from the
Gebo mine that the company will have
t steady buliness from that market and
the coal for domestic purposes in Helena
and Butte is growing in such favor that
even now the company in for behind
with the orders from their representan
iveor at those large market centers.
The growth and snecess of the
Olarke's Fork Coal Mininulg company'
saterprise ansures the development of
the town that has grown up, substaun
tinly and without any boom, at this
point.
