ON TlHE MISSOURI. Movements of the Steamboats-The Eclipse Afloat Again. BISMARCK, May 15. - The steamer IEclipse returned here from Berthold on Friday last. After striking the rock she was run into shallow water., and only about eighteen inches of water ran into her hold. The cargo was unloaded on the bank and only a little of It was damaged. The Judith took hertrip on up to Benton. the .Eclipsa will be pulled up on the ways and repaired at once. The break is not as bad as first reported. t The steamer Helena sailed on Friday. This was the boat advertised to leave a few days before, but when partly loaded it was f discovered that she had a cracked shaft. Fortunately there was lying on the bank the shaft from the old steamer Black Hills, a boat built after the pattern of the Helena. Being measured it was found that it was almost a perfect fit in every thing but length--being five inches shorter than that of the Helena. Skillful engin cersand carpenters overcame this in some way and now the Helena is as sound as ever and Captain Bakeris happy. The General Terry left for river points to-day. The Batchelor, Captain Barr in com mand, arrived from above Thursday and is now loading for another trip to Little Muddy with supplies for the Manitoba extension. The adjuster for the insurance com panies who held the risks on the cargo of ..'e Eclipse will proceed to Buford to see what can be saved from the watered goods. The Rosebud passed Fort Buford yes t.rday. She brought part of the Judith's cargo to Buford and then returned to fetch the remainder, + dJoquih Millbr's Advice. Joaquin Miller has become a practical philosopher. He is writing some Califor- ti nia letters which are very matter of fact for a poet. His advice to immigrants b concludes as follows: "Make up your mind to what portion of the coast, whether p Washington Territory, Oregon or Califor nia, you want to settle in, and stop there. I Be prepared to find discontent all about r you wherever you settle. The roving cat tle refuse to settle; they still wander to n and fro, sowing discontent wherever they ti go and doing no good anywhere. In fact, a the only good fortune that could possibly happen to them would be absolute want, b which would compel them to stop and go to work. I have a not'on that one part of a the world, particularly of tle Pacific coast a world, is just as good as another, and a little better ! I suppose when the Pilgrim h Fathers first set foot in Boston they did n not like it much. A bleaker coast of n stones and ice, I reckon, was never found q by weary emigrant. But they stuck to it, and now Boston is said to be a very toler able place. Yes, indeed, one part of this r world is just about as good as another, a d a' a little better. But, as hinted before, when e' the emigrant arrives he is much like the man who finds himself for the first time in a fine store. He does not know What cl he wants, and so he wants everything; is L very miserable, wanders up and down the at land and in a little time becomes a part of h: the great, roaming, half Gypsy fraternity that travels up and down the land seeking for a more dry, or a more wet, or a more a wooded, or a more open country, content nowhere and of no earthly use to any one." Didn't Care Who He Was. Parmelly Billings, a son of Frederick n Billngs, ex-president of the Northern ti Pacific railroad, is said to be sort of a it chump, aind travels to a great extent upon the reputation of his paternal ancestor. A short time ago this son of the illustrious sire made a trip to the Pacific Coast, and when at Heron, followed the balance of A the passengers into the Northern Pacific v hotel at that point to satisfy the cravings ri of the inner man. Not having the atten tion paid him which he thought his posi tion should entitle him to, he took his hand anc swept off all the dishes on the flooir at arm's length around him. The " subsequent crash of broken queensware v brought the manager of the hostlery to the scene. It took him but a moment to grasp the situation, and also the collar of V the conceited son of the illustrious sire, f< whom he marched out of the dining-room. ir with numerous kicks and cuffs. As soon as Parmelly had sufficiently recovered he blubbered out: c' "If-gess you don't know me. I'm a W San of Frederick Billings, ex-president of A this railroad, I am!" The irate manager did not apologize, as the son ef the illustrious site supposed he would, but replied that he "didn't care if a he was the son of Frederick Billings, or 1 the Creator." He didn't allow no man of g any age, ae, color, or of any present or previous:condition to break crockery- in rc his house, and that he could either pay al for the damage done, and go without his ci dinner, or take a good ththmpiug. It is needless to say that Parmelly paid i the bill and took his seat in the cars with an aching vacuum in his stomach. All Will Benefit. The completion of the Manitoba rail. cc road to Great Falls will increase the value m of every pound of wool in northern Mon S tana. It will also enhance the value of every ounce of silver bullion at Neihart.- Very true. Tiiis great result will in crease the value of every product of northern Montana by lessening the cost of i transportation to market. But the case 'r would be clearer by potting it thlat the Ci co~ipletion ofthe railroad to Fort Benton m will accomplish this result. Water com jetition is the only guarantee of low rail road tarifs, and in this regard the Mis souri river will govern the rates in north ern Montana,' as it even nOw does to Hel- D :nau'Billeigs and other points on thb to rthern Pacific this side of the moun :ta .

GREAT FALLS is located attite Falls of the Missouri which furnish the greatest available water power on the Continent. Is within seven miles of the most extensive COAL and IRON district in the West, immediately beyond which are rich GOLD, SILVER and COPPER districts. It lays tributary the best agricultural and grazing part of Sthe Territory, and the pineries of the Upper Missouri and tributaries. It is especially adapted by its natural resources and geographical position to become the leading Me ANUFACTUJRING CITY between Minneapolis and the Pacific, and the principal RAILROAD CENTER of Montana. The trip to Great Falls will amply repay tourists by the beauty of the scenery on the way, and they will find here the most magnificent series of waterfalls in the world, while the surrounding country is rich in picturesqe scenery. If SPRAY OF THE FALLS. No telegraph report to-day. The Helena coach was way behind time to-day. The storm is very bad for the flock masters. The fire boys contemplate giving an en tertainment in a short time. McKay brothers commenced making brick the first of the month. The bad weather has temporarily sus pended all building operations. Phil Gibson has just purchased from Robert Vaughn's celebrated band a fine roadster. The gambling fraternity are becoming numerous in the city. There are from three to half ! dozen "tiger" games run- . ning every night. W. O. Dexter. now has both his ferry boats in running order, both below and above the mouth of Sun river. He solicits a share of the public patronage. The weather during the past forty-eight hours has been simply horrible. It has rained and snowed, and to-day the slush makes pedestrianism almost out of the t question. Carriages were sent to the Half-Breed rapids yesterday to meet |Col. Broadwater and party. They are expected in this evening, although the weather may inter fere somewhat. To-day is what is termed by the school children the "last day of school." bMt. Largent, the teacher, has proved himself an able instructor during the two years he has had charge of the school in this place. The legal fraternity is now well repre sented in our city. As a class they are genial citizens, but it is generally con ceded that trouble always begins when they congregate in one place in any con siderable number. The difficulties of getting up a daily newspaper in a town of this size when the telegraph line is in mud up to its neck, and the malls behind, can only be appreciated by those who are acquainted with'the business. The matter of supplying the city with water is one which will-necessarily have to be acted upon in the immediate future. A perfect system of water-works is an ad vantage which few if any towns in the ter ritory can boast of. they got a chance, but he is about as "smooth" as amateur poker players usually become, and he knew they couldn't stack cards on him without his knowing it. ci ae Still, they had "whip-sawed" him once or th twice and he had lost quite heavily. Pres k- ently he was startled by receiving four w kings and an ace. Straights were barred so he held the top hand in the deck. It ' n- was a good jack pot and he was afraid no one would come in. Then a great scheme struck him. He dropped his handker chief on the floor and began to cough via lently. Keeping one hand on his cards he s- leaned under the table and picked it up. He was not at all in a hurry. He opened the pot and one man came e in and raised him. Betting was lively. When the other called him he showed his hand. The other had four jacks. The ag Hebrew raked in $250. m He had leaned under the table to give n- the others a chance to make up a hand between them, and his plan workecto ry perfection. id A Celebration. its as What about a celebration of our national m lit holiday at Great Falls the present year? as The celebration last year was the means m4 ah of bringing numerous strangers within our th le gates, all of whom will remember kindly 41 the treatment received at the hands of our people. This matter should be agitated w 'd wit'iout delay, as the time is short in all er which to make the necessary arrange s ments. SPERSONAL MENT1 N.\ k S. P. Panton, late of Billings, has \de t. cided to locate here, and will engage; in rr the insurance business. G. F. Shelton, mention of whose arrivil was made in yesterday's paper, has deci - [t ed to locate here permanently. He is re *o cently from Bozeman and is a lawyer by profession. e GEORGE. W.

The TRIBUNE has received a letter fromn "An Active Member" ofrthe fire company. who complains that the' officers failed tc attend the mee;ing that was called foi Wednesday last. He thanks Mr. Gibson for being present, and states that a meet - ing will be held on Monday evening next, when all interested in the success of the company are invited to attend. Mean while any claims against the company may be sent to Phil Gibson, secretary, or A. E. Dickerman, treasurer. Referring to the company the writer says: "The fire company havejorganized with a truck-house, a truck, and a complete set of ladders, hooks, lanterns, buckets, truck gong anmd bell tower. The cofnpany boys have each purchased a uniform and are ready for a parade or a fire. They are also ready to obey the commands of their chief; butinless the property owners who are most interested take greater interest in the company it must disband." In Quest of Stolen Horses. J. Clark. of Crowfoot Creek, Alberta, was in town to-day. He says that he has come to this region in quest of seven mares and five colts that were stolen last September from his range, which ison the Canadian Pacific. He has not been able to find any trace of them since they crossed the Marias, sixty miles north of- here. Mr. Turner met a man with three of the mares, who said that he was goingto work on the railroad grade. The mares are branded J. C. on 'the left 'shoulder. Mr. Clark will be grateful for any clue that may lead to their recovery. Sends Friendly Greeting.
