W.ab 1,000 wiles of additional railroad under construction, every t-wn of inllllrtance in the territory sill have wiibin the dear ample rail. roadl faclitles. It is caey to assceive the i.petus (thi such an expenditure ol money will give to business as well as the cheap and easy mode of con veyatuce, given to emiwrants seeking new filels of enterprise. The tom. nitttet's figures give ''the total area o( Monutan in aqu ,re rniles at 143,776, or 92t).l,2.000 arre. Th'le number of a-res exclulsve of the Indian and mil ta-y reervl' Ions is 61,442,000, of wbIeh 16,0uO.0.U were surveyed up to the close of 1883; 20.500,000 of this land was granted to the Northern Paetbe ratl oasd and the railroad has surveyed up .o Decmber, 1868, 6.716,000 acres. The total valuation of the preoperty - sessed for valuatiho is locreaeed from ,24.040,,0u ID 1881, to $556,t6,871 In ta86. The rate of taxation I. about 16 mills on the dollar but these 'etimates do not embrace the minilg districts of the territory, which are exempt froee aexation under the law, nor dues it il Clude 1,000zmles of railroad In suco.ses ful operation. It is fair to conclude that the total valuatlon of ass-meable pr perty at bhis time is not far from $100,000,000. The total exports from Montana In 1886 amounted to $26,400.000, conesst aug of gold, silver, copper, lead, beef and wrol, which locludes 76,000,000 head of beef cattle and 600,000 rounds of wool. There are twenty-eight banking houses in the territory and tiirty-one newspapers. Seboolb houses and churches are to be found wherever the country has been settled. The people are generally wealthy, ener getic and intelligent, and the re markably rapid increase of pop ulation and property during the last six years leaves scarcely any room to doubt that the people of Mon tenl are able to establish and maintain a state govrnument without inlposing on tbemselves unnecessary and heavy taxation. They memorialize congres for admlitson and are willing to s sutme the responsibllities of statehood. Speaking of Washington territory the committee reports that at the last general election there wee 47,227 vote io the territory, of whsch at Is sfle to assume 10,000 were cuast by woolen. 'Tis would give 37,?27 as the male voting population. Prtserving the ratio of four and four-tenthe the popu lation at that time was 176,066, and the vote at the last election in that portion of Idaho which the bill propos es to add to Waebingtona. a new state was 4,646, which at the ratio of four and se.en-tenthe represents a popula tiol of 21.b36. Adding this tothe pop ulation of Wa.hblngton and the new rlate will co4me into the union with 107,90.' more than the established unit of representation. The territory also has 104 miles of railroad in suceraful operation, and 75 wnore nearly built. But the Colum bia river and the fine barbors on the Pacific coast afford the people better advantages for transportatlo' I ban do the railway lines. The territory has twenty banks, fifteen of which are National banks, with a capital of I$2,000,o00. The laws of the territory relating to the publication tf legal notices and printing required by county offcial are crude, ambiguous and cootlfcting. The present legislature should paas a general printing law for the territory., in which bhall be specified what notices must be printed, bow many weeks they hbould run, and the com pensation to the newspaper printing them. It should also de.ignate what reports cou'ity oficers shall publish, and the compeunsation to be paid therefor. Anld to cover the ground completely, it should also state the cowupensalon to tw paid for blanks for county officials., and that all such Sblans bshall be printed in the county ordering them, If a newspaper be !printed therein. In each house of the present legislature are good lawyer. and competent printers, and together they should be able to draft a Just law, isntead of wasting time patching up crude ones.-Butte Miner. One of the m(*t important publio questions that this legislature will have to d.al w ith is a general law pro viding for the incorporatiou of olkUe and towns in the territory. Under the territorial restriction act of Coas grees, special legislation is prohibited and the demand of the day under the circumstanoes is a law under whicr all towns and cities in Montana may be inoorporated. The complieatles of the old law were so great that it was found impossible to comply with them. What Is wanted now Is ea l under which the district court may order an election on the petitiom of it l.sns of a given city or town for i corporation. The law should be me amended as to make the method of prOcedUre plain and evade the probib Itive clauwe of Congress gIle8 speIal legiilation. -Helena lndepedent. James M.
