The Montana Ch' isti; o IAdroease, pub
lished at Helena, has been having trouble
with its printer. The publication of the
Advocate is let out by contract, while the
editoral management is under charge of
Rev. R. E. Smith, of this city, assisted by
various other clergymen and high elders
of the Methodist conference in Montana,
of which it is the organ. It seems.that the
a publishing contractor had, as a part of his
consideration, the revenues of the advertis
ing columns, and not having the fear of
t God before his eyes and regardless of the
fact that the Advocate is pre-eminently a
temperance as well as a religious journal
-the I. O. G. T. being second only to the
a Methodist Church in its columns-he
"rung in" various advertisements of saloons
and breweries. A lively advertisement of
t "try our best 5-cent beer" appeared along
side a strong temperance editorial, and vu
rious encomiums of bottling works, saloons
and the latest wrinkle in cocktails were in
dangerous proximity to letters from va
rious parts of the territory on subjects of
religion, temperance and morality. Of
course these combinations were incongru
ous and when the executive committee
discovered them they discharged the print
er. Evidently they believed it most wise
to discharge him and expunge his pollut
ing advertisements before wrestling with
his soul or those of the advertisers. So the
matter stands, and the Advocate comes out
this week handsome and well edited rs
usual, with its columns purged of any ref
erence to intoxicants except in athorough
lI y deprecatory way.-Independent.
Drummond & Philipsburg R. R.
During the past few days Philipsburg
has been honored by the presence of sev
ral of Montana's most prominent railroad
"men. They are ex-Governor Hauser and
E. L. Bonner, of the Drummond & P $.- -
ipsburg railroad comipany; Colonel J. B.
Clough, chief of the construction of the r
Northern Pacific in Montana, and E. A. F
Cralle, locating engineer. The party has N
been over the line, reviewing the work of I
the engineers on the road from here to r
Drummond. After a thorough examina- o
tion and inquiry into the proposed line of
the road, the gentlemen express the utmost
gratification at the result, not having had
any idea that a road could be built from
Drummond to Philipsburg so eftsily. The
average grade is only fifty-one feet per
mile, which is considered a very light
grade for a mountain railroad. There will
not be a cut or a fill on the entire route
to the extent of ten feet; in fact, the gen
tlemen state that they observed no place
where it would require even seven feet.
It is the intention of the company to have
the road completedwithin sixt( days. All
the men that can possibly be worked to
aly advantage will be employed.
