SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1885.
Entered at the postoffice in Livingston, M. T.
as second-class mail matter.
A considerable number of Bozeman's
citizens desire the repeal of their city
charter—reasons, expense and apparent
impossibility of electing good officers.
The anticipated sweets of city govern
ment have not materialized!
A bill is now pending before the sen
ate for the suspension of silver coinage
after August 1, 1885. This bill will not
pass at this session of Congress and
those who are now so anxious for the
suspension of coinage are working to
obtain the insertion in the sundry civil
bill of a clause repealing the silver law
now in force.
The Sun River Sun trots out that
time-worn headline "Jerked to Jesus"
to introduce its account of Con Mur
phy's lynching. A young western news
paper man never feels that he has be
come initiated in the business till he has
had a chance to use that heading, the
chief merit of which is that it is alliter
ative and startling but seldom truthful.
MONTANA SCHOOLS.
For the year 1884 Gallatin county
made an excellent educational showing.
The county has 41 districts with 37
school buildings, valued at #50,000.
Thirty-nine schools were in operation
employing 43 teachers. The returns
showed 1020 children of school age in
the county of whom 1370 attended the
public schools during the year. Beside
these there were two private schools in
operation during the year with 25 pu
pils. The school fund from all sources
in Gallatin county for 1884 amounted to
#22,020.88. .Silver Bow is ahead of Gal
latin in the number of children of school
age but far behind in the number in at
tendance. Lewis and Clarke is ahead of
our county in the amount of school
fund raised but is behind in the value of
school buildings in which Gallatin leads
the van. In the whole territory there
are are 15,082 children of school age of
whom only 8,118 attended school in 1884
—a poor showing.

NEW PRINTING LAW.
A bill for a new printing law for
Montana was agreed upon at the late
meeting of the Tress Association, and
will be brought before the legislature
as a substitute for that introduced by
Councilman Will Kennedy. The bill
places the control of all county printing
and publishing, the supply of blanks,
books and all stationery lor which the
county is chargeable, in the control of
the board of county commissioners.
They may make close contracts with
any newspaper or printing oilice to do
the work and supply the material, may
divide it among several newspapers, or
may let the contract by tender to the
lowest bidder. The only restriction is
that if there be a newspaper and print
ing oflice in the county the contract or
contracts shall not be made with any
office outside the county. Prices
both printing and publishing are made
materially lower than under the
old law. Contracts will be good for two
years. Printing and publishing for
which the territory is chargeable shall
be controlled as under the old (or pres
ent) law. The members of the Press
Association were unanimous in the
opinion that the printing law now in
force should be repealed and that one be
substituted which should be free from
legal ambiguities, fair to all publishers
and removed entirely from the criticism
of being a public burden. Out of the
various diverse interests and ideas on
the subject the proposed bill was evolv
ed and endorsed.
IIOTKIN'.S CASE.
IIOTKIN'.S CASE.
Col. A. C. Botkin's case is attracting
much attention. Throughout the terri
tory a host of friends, regardless of
party, who have long commiserated his
physical affliction while admiring his
sterling qualities of heart and head are
signing petitions for his retention in
power at least until he has had a fair
hearing on the charges presented against
him. "With the exception of the sub
servient partisan sheets that are ready
to say "the king is dead, long live the
king," to each new republican appoint
ment, the newspapers of the territory
universally denounce the injustice and
meanness which characterized his dis
missal and are unsparing of their stric
tures upon the one chiefly instrumental
in compassing it. In Wisconsin where
Botkin's life was spent before coming to
Montana the same style of sentiment
finds vent in the press. In Washington
Crosby is flying about, moved by a vari
ety of motives—anxiety to demonstrate
his fancied importance in the nation's
capital, desire of carrying to the bitter
end the petty spite which led him to
work for Botkin's retirement and a
yearning to still maintain the semblance
of ex post facto power over "the terri
tory I govern." The people of Montana
breathed a sigh of relief when Crosby
retirai and they did not expect any con
tinuance of the affliction. But Presi
dent Arthur has shown a cloven hoof in
this latter part of his otherwise credita
ble administration by his behavior in
the matter of Montana appointments,
and principally through the personal in
fluence of this fellow Crosby. It is pos
sible that it may remain for the demo
errts to treat with U. S. Marshal Botkin.
Senator Edmunds of the j udiciary com
mittee says that Kreidler shall not be
confirmed till Botkin has a fair trial.
Crosby approached Senator Don Camer
on a few weeks ago to get his influence
for Kreidler and was summarily repuls
ed. Senator Aliller says he will not op
pose Botkin and the senators from Wis
consin are his staunch friends. It is

postponed until after March 4th.
(Since the above was written the
charges against Botkin have been sus
tained by the judiciary committee.)
PENDING LEGISLATION.
A bill of much local ird°rest has been
introduced to the notice of the legisla
ture and is now pending. Its object is
the passage of an act to enable the peo
ple of Gallatin county to authorize by
their votes the issue of #100,000 in bonds
of the county to build a canal from the
canyon of the West Gallatin to Boze
man creek—a distance of 18 to 20
miles as we are informed by one
of the incorporators of the company to
which the bonds would be issued. The
canal is intended to irrigate an area of
land in Gallatin valley, estimated at 25,
000 acres, and also to furnish the town
of Bozeman with water works—inform
ation also furnished by the incorpora
tor aforesaid. It is to be reasonably
presumed that a large share of this
25,000 acres of land is owned by the
members of the company. This scheme
is without doubt the most impudent
proposition ever presented for the con
sideration of a Montana legislature.
Perhaps it will be considered almost an
insult to ordinary intelligence to point
out the supreme "cheek" displayed
in this effort at legislation. A num
ber of land owners wish to greatly en
hance the value of their property. They
are also property owners and residents
of the town of Bozeman and Bozeman
needs a system of water works. They
resolve themselves into a company anil
cast about to devise a method whereby
they can construct a canal which will
irrigate their land and supply their city
with water. Once constructed this can
al would prove a profitable investment.
Instead of embarking their own or eth
er private capital in the enterprise they
conclude to ask all Gallatin county to
furnish the capital for an enterprise
from which the great benefit will be de
rived by a very few—the incorporators
of the company—and to a smaller de
gree will be an advantage to the county
seat and to a very limited area of
country outside of it—25,000 acres.
There is another point to be considered.
It can by no possibility, unless money
is recklessly expended, cost #100,000 to
build the canal. Indeed the estimate of
the company's engineer is #60,000 as an
outside figure. The balance is to put in
the water-works in Bozeman. We need
not further detail the impudence and
absurdity of the proposition. It is not
probable that any such bill or any bill
to aid or encourage the Bozeman Canal
and Water Ditch company will pass
the legislature. If an enabling act in
the premises should be passed, the En
terprise is willing to trust the intelli
gence of the people of Gallatin county
to defeat it.

THE RAILROAD BILL.
The proposition to build a railroad
from Butte to the Yellowstone river by
county aid has not yet taken the shape
of a bill but will assume form directly.
The project contemplates the bonding
of Silver Bow and Gallatin counties to
aid the work; Madison and Jefferson
counties would merely be asked to ex
empt the road from taxation for a defin
ite time. Prominent Butte mine ope
rators are greatly interested in the pro
ject as they need coal from the Belt
mountains and they claim that the traf
fic of the road in coal alone would re
turn a profit on its stock. It seems the
intention of the movers in the project
to present to the people a proposition
that will embody complete protection to
the counties, should voters deem it wise
to authorize the issue of bonds.
THE GAMBLING BILL.
The Forbis bill for the suppression of
gambling passed the lower house. Its
probable fate in the council is a subject
of much discussion and speculation. A
substitute will be introduced to raise
the license on tables, remove them from
the street floors and otherwise restrict
this favorite Montana vice. Whether
the original bill or the substitute will
pass the council is an anxious question
among friends and opponents of the
measure. Many good men are opposed
the prohibitory act on the ground
that public sentiment in its oppositiou
to gambling lias not yet been educated
to the point which would result in the
enforcement of the law; that should
the prohibition be imposed it would
drive gambling into dens and holes, and
the money now paid as licenses into the
territorial treasury would be spent for
guards and doorkeepers to form a cor
don about secret gambling.
COUNTY DIVISION BILLS.
The bill for the creation of Rav alli
county out of a portion of Missoula—
the upper Bitter Root valley—passed
the lower house with only three votes
against it. None other of the similar
bills have got so far along. The friends
of Ravalli county say that in spite of
the strong influence being brought to
defeat it, the bill will pass the council.
The bill for the creation of Bridger
county out of the eastern portion of
Gallatin has been introduced and with
the petitions accompanying is now in the
hands of the committee on towns and
counties. The bill will doubtless receive
the sanction of the low er house of the
legislature. Its fate in the council, like
all the county bills, is a matter of un
certainty.
The bill for the creation of Fergus
county out of eastern Meagher
county, is a council bill and it is
said that that body is quite likely
to pass the bill in accordance with the
w ishes of Hon. James Fergus, the oldest
one of their number who is a friend of
the bill and after whom, in spite of his
modestly declining the honor, the pro
posed county was named.
Councilman F. L. Greene of Yellow
stone county has prepared and will in
troduce a bill providing for the annex
ation of all that part of the Crow reser
vation lying west of the Big Horn to
ry
er
ing.
J.
and
W.
ning
with
H.
upon
Yellowstone county as fast as it shall
be restored to public domain. The bill
should, and probably will, pass. Mr.
Greene is opposed to any other bills for
the extension of Yellowstone county
and will oppose such in the Council if
by chance they should reach that stage.
REDUCTIONS IN FEES.
Bills are pending in both branches of
the legislature looking to sweeping re
ductions in the fees of county officers.
The cut is made in every direction among
the principal offices. Most of these bills
will probably pass, too. County officers
throughout the territory are alarmed
and with gloomy faces are gathering
daily in Helena to oppose the bills. One
of them remarked the other day that if
the bills affecting his office passed and
he could have returned to him the mon
ey he spent to get elected he would
readily resign. He is the treasurer
elect of a neighboring county. Sheriffs,
county clerks, court clerks and assessors,
feel quite as melancholy over the pros
pect.
No small interest is being attracted
by the legislative fight over school
readers and other text books. There
are tw r o publishing concerns—A. L
Bancroft & Co., of San Francisco, and a
syndicate of eastern publishers—who
have their agents at Helena seeking by
every means to have 'their series of
books adoptai as the standard for the
use of public schools in the territory.
They have both made the offer to ex
change the new books for the old books
now in use providing the series is
adopted for a term of years. Beside
these offers, and bills in accordance
therewith, a bill is pending for the ap
pointment of a commission of three to
negotiate and report at the next session
of the legislature a suitable series of
school books. It is probable, however,
that either Bancroft or the eastern con
cern will get in their work, with the
chances in favor of Bancroft.
The bill for the relief of the officers
w ho captured Con Murphy but did not
deliver him up alive—to authorize the
payment to them of the #1,000 reward
offered—was killed in the Council.
Councilmen seemed to think there was
no good cause why the governor should
not pay the reward without quibbling;
they w r ere beside somewhat disgusted
with the haste of the officers in forcing
the bill upon the Council almost before
Murphy was cold in his grave; and
farther they are tired of these bills for
the "relief" of Tom, Dick and Harry.
PRESS ASSOCIATION.

PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Helena, Feb. 10,1885.—Montana has
hitherto struggled along w'ithout a Press
Association. The members of the jour
nalistic profession have long neglected
and refused to confer upon the territory
the benefits and prestige of such an or
ganization in addition to the manifold
advantages accruing to regular subscri
bers and liberal advertisers. But after
long hesitation the resolution was taken
and the meeting of newspaper men
w'hich convened ta day in Helena w as
called. The die was cast; the Rubicon
was crossed; Montana will henceforth
have a Press Association beside several
other inducements for the "bona fide
residents" that brother Alderson is al
ways talking about as being conspicu
ously absent from the Yellowstone val
ley. I have noticed a disposition on the
part of some of our territorial papers to
treat this movement with unseemly lev
ity. This is not right and if there be
anything herein susceptible of a con
struction the reverse of serious we de
sire that it be stricken from the records
and be considered without form and
void. The preliminary meeting con
vened at the court house this afternoon.
The place w as fitting. When deputy
sheriff Jim Hathaway walked in I rath
er expected to see a grand jury follow
him. The assembly was not a very
large one but for solid intelligence I will
back it against any similar body that
ever bodied. "By their fruits ye shall
know r them." The newspapers of Mon
tana present a vastly higher standard of
excellence than those of any other state
or territory in the Union. Their editors
are the producers of the commodity
yclept newspapers. There were present
Councilman Will Kennaly of the Mis
soulian, the typical, w'hole-souled print
er of the gathering and a good pencil
pusher as well; Lee Mantle, business
manager of the Butte Inter-Mountain,
the graceful speaker of the meeting; J.
D. Mattheson of the Billings Post—fat,
lazy and saucy; W. W. Alderson of the
Courier, one of the ablest and oldest
editors in the territory; Alex.
Devine of the Billings Herald, conspic
uous for being "quick at repartee"; Jer
ry Collins, the metropolitan of the Riv
er PrPSfi; Profoeeor Swallow, of tho In
dependent, who is worried about the
size of heaven and other scientific mys
teries; A. J. Fisk, of the Herald, who
don't feel exactly pleased wflth the pros
pect of a democratic administration;
Will Sutherlin, of the Husbandman,
who has so husbanded his stock of good
humor that he has a supply for all com
ers, and a number of other representa
tive Montana newspaper writers
whom w r e have not space to particularly
to
of
to
describe. Mr. Alderson was made tem
porary chairman and assumed the posi
tion with a pleasant address. Jerry
Collins w r as made temporary secretary.
Little was done at the afternoon meet
ing. The chair appointed Lee Mantle,
J. E. Hendry, A. J. Fisk, Alex. Devine
and Will Kennedy a committee to pre
pare a constitution and by-laws for the
society. J. D. Matheson, Prof. Swallow,
W. H. Sutherlin, A. K. Yerkes and
Jerry Collins were appointed a com
mittee on permanent organization. An
adjournment was then taken until eve
ning while the committees wrestled
with their duties. In the evening
among other new arrivals was Capt. J.
H. Mills of the New Northwest who, in
advance of his coming, had been fixed
upon as the head of the Montana Press
Association. No member of the pro
fession in the territory commands such
a
to
job
of
if
of
re
if
a
of
is
deserved respect and regard from his
fellows as does Capt. Mills. Conserva
tive, cautious, level-headed and just, he
is an ideal editor and a noble man,
though it is jast possible that he might
not prove an A 1 reporter—rather a
black eye for reporters. Upon assem
bling in the evening the constitution
prepared was adopted. None of its pro
visions will be of interest to the public.
A permaneat organization was effected
by the election of the following officers:
President, James II. Mills; first vice
president, W. W. Alderson; second vice
president, W. II. Sutherlin; third vice
president, Lee Mantle; recording secre
tary, Jerry Collins; corresponding sec
retary, Alex. Devine; treasurer, A. J.
Fisk; J. D. Matheson, H. T. Brown
and J. E. Hendry members of the exec
utivè committee in conjunction with
the president and secretary of the asso
ciation. A resolution was then
passed that Cornelius Hedges, ter
ritorial superintendent of public in
struction and intermittent editor of
the Herald, be invited to deliver an
address to the association to-morrow
evening. A committee was ap
pointed consisting of one member from
each county représentai to consult and
report on matters of legislation per
tainingto Ihe welfare of the profession
—to wit, county printing laws—delin
quint tax lists and such trfles. The
member from Gallatin county was W,
W. Alderson. A committee consisting
of Lee Mantle, J. E. Hendry and A. J
Fisk was appointed to consider and
properly "resoloot" upon the strictures
upon the newspaper profession uttered
by certain members of the lower house
of the Montana legislature about one
week a gx At that time some petty
matter pertaining to publication of
county reports was brought up for con
sideration and Col. Callaway speaker of
the house and several other members
seized the opportunity to maliciously
and systematically abuse the journalis
tic profession—characterized them as
bad men," "a close corporation" and
such like endearing epithits. Now
newspapermen are not thin-skinned;
they frequently accuse each other of
violating all the principles of the
decalogue; they have ever thrown
out the allusion that members
of the fraternity were not w ealthy—all
of which is disreputable and snide. But
while they may bear such inter-commu
nications with the utmost equanimity
newspaper men will not permit ordinary
legislators to publicly abuse them
without showing some resentment
It is a well know r n fact that before elec
tion legislators affect to think that
new spapers and their publishers are the
bulwarks of the country; after election
they experience a change of heart and
are liable to remark that alitors are
nihilists and dynamiters while legisla
tors are the only safeguards of society.
All these facts and many more w ere
presented to the notice of the association
this evening by Lee Mantle and other
members' and in accordance with a
motion the above committee was ap
pointed. If /ou notice the air put on a
peculiarly blue electrical appearance to
morrow you will know that it is an
emanation ol the Press committee on
legislators, a sudden fit of usefulness on
the part of the Helena electric lights or
a still-born thunder storm. Don't be
scared. We meet to-morrow afternoon
and again in the evening. About
Thursday morning "we will strike the
home trail cheerful but fiat broke.
H.
Helena, Wednesday, IItii.— The
Montana Press Association closed its
deliberations this evening. At the af
ternoon session much interesting work
was done The committee on legislation
reportai progress and w r as granted fur
ther time. The special committee ap
pointed to investigate the attacks on
Montana journalists made by certain
members of the lower house of the
legislature was increased to five mem
bers by the addition of W, W. Alderson
and R. H. Howey. Several resolutions
of professional interest were introduced
and adopted. One by Mr. Mantle con
demned in the severest terms the
"sharks" who obtain money from adver
tisers on schemes that are not in effect
advertisements and then leave the ter
ritory w ith what they have thus collect
ed, having contributol nothing to the
support of the territory nor conferred
any benefit upon it or upon the adver
tisers who have paid their money. Mr.
Hendry offered a resolution which ex
pressed disapproval of the action of
wholesale paper houses outside the ter
ritory w hose agents not only sell goods
to printing offipps here but qftter into
competition with the latter by soliciting
and obtaining retail trade; the résolu
tion also expressed the sentiment that
the business energy and large invest
ments of printing houses in Montana
should receive recognition in the form
of public and private patronage of the
territory even, though it may be possible
to Obtain ' performance of the work
somew hat cheaper in large eastern or
western cities. This resolution was
adopted. Matt W. Alderson moved that
a committee of five be appointed to con
sider the question of transportation and
railroid courtesies. M. W. Alderson,
Mantle, Fisk and Brimdage w r ere ap
pointed as such committee and in the
evening reported that the Association
should take no action in the matter and
the report was adopted. On motion of
Matt W. Alderson the chair appointed
Hendry, Boos and Stevens a committee
to consider inter-county commerce of
job printing offices and the maintenance
of rates. This committee reported its
belief that no restriction should be laid
upon the right of officers to extend
their trade but strongly reprobated in
jurious competition tending to the re
duction of legitimate profits. In the
evening the committee on legislation
reported the draft of a printing law, the
passage of which will be recommended
I
of

a
J.
to the legislature. Its provisions are
mentioned elsewhere in theENTERPitiE
On motion of Lee Mantle, acoompanied
by an urgent invitation and assurances
of a pleasant visit, it w T as resolved that
the next meeting of the Montana Press
Association be held at Butte on the sec
ond Thursday of August in this year.
During the evening Judge Cornelius
Halges took the platform and deliveral
a very able and pleasing address on the
Press. So agreeable and instructive did
the Association consider it that a motion
prevailed unanimously that Judge
Halges should prepare a copy of his ad
dress and that it be published in the
Helena Herald. Later in the evening
Col. Sanders, an honorary member of
the Association, dropped into the meet
ing as he w r as passing and was invite*!
to make a speech. In response he took
the platform and delivered one of the
able impromptu addresses for which he
ahvays seems prepared whatever be the
subject. Resolutions of thanks were
adoptai and extended to the two speak
ers above named, to Capt. Mills for his
conduct of the deliberations of the As
sociation and to sheriff Churchill and
deputy-sheriff Hathaway for their cour
tesy in permitting the Association to
use the court house for its meeting. The
session then adjourned. The organiza
tion of the Montana Press Association
has already produced much benefit.
Not only w as good xvork accomplished
in a business sense but I am satisfied
that those in attendance separated w ith
a warmer feeling of professional frater
nity, a personal knowledge of their
neighbors in Montana newspaper w'ork,
an appreciation of their characters and
a generally closer feeling of intimacy
that cannot but prove of incalculable
good. The Press Association of Mon
tana has been organized under the most
auspicious circumstances. The attend
ance was much larger than had been
expected; the active membership is al
ready somewhat above tw'enty and
many other members elec t will, within
the two months' limit given, enter into
full membership and appear as such at
Butte next August. II.
Newspaper Men versus Legislators.
At the late meeting of the Montana
Press Association the following com
mittee report and resolutions were sub
mitted and unamiously adopted: Mr.
President, your committee appointai to
inquire into certain remarks reported to
have lieen made on the floor of the house
of Representatives by members thereof,
severly reflecting upon the honesty and
integrity of the publishers of Montana
and in effect accusing them of dishon
est practices, beg leave to report that
they have made an investigation of the
same, and while they are unable to re
port the exact language used upon the
occasion referred to, are yet fully satis
fied that such remarks w'ere made, and
that generally they were unfair, unjust
and uncalled for. Your committee
therefore beg leave to submit the foliow T -
ing resolution as an expression of the
sense of this association, believing that
its adoption will constitute a fitting re
buke for such unwarranted assertions,
and will tend to uphold the dignity and
protect the rights of the publishers of
Montana. Lee Mantle,
A. J. Fisk,
J. E. Hendry,
W. W. Alderson,
R. II. Howey.
Committee,
Whereas, It has come to the knowl
edge of this association that certain
members of the lower house of the
Legislative Assembly of the Territory
now in session, have publicly and upon
the floor of said house characterizal the
publishers and printers of Montana gen
erally as an unprincipallal class of men,
seeking only an opportunity to plunder
the public treasury; and,
Whereas, Believing that such re
marks w'here wholly uncalled for and
unjust, and believing further that to
permit such remarks and assertions,
made in such a public manner, by such
high officials, to go unchallenged, would
be detrimental not only to the influence
of the Press, but to the best interests of
the community at large; therefore, be
it
Resolved, That the Montana Press
Association hereby expresses its em
phatic disapproval of all such assertions
insinuations and implications, as not
only ill-timed, uncallal for and unsup
ported by the actual condition of things
but unbecoming the dignity of those
members who by the influence of the
Press and the franchise of a free people
have been honored with legislative
functions.
