LOCAL NEWS. From the Daily Herald of April 12. Helena rtednctloii Works. We have it. from good authority that the Board of Trustees of the Helena Reduction Works are entertaining a proposition recently submitted, to lease the property of the com pany to parties who have an abundance of ore, plenty of capital, and first-class skill and experience in the reduction of ores. The matter of rent has been satisfactorily settled, and if a price, with privilege of purchasing is fixed, valuable improvements will be made and the works put in operation immediately. Personal. —W. E. Frederick returned from Ft. Shaw last night. —Lieut. Kendrick, accompanied by Miss Ivirtland, a sister of Captain Kiitland, arrived from Fort Shaw last night. They are regis tered at the Cosmopolitan and will remain until Saturday. —Hon. W. E. Bass, President of the Leg- islative Council of Montana, favored us with a pleasant call yesterday. He is on his re- turn home from the East, where he has been on business connected with the proposed rail- road to Montana .—Salt Lake Tribune, 5 th inst. --— *4 ! ■! M V - Pras for Food. A Mississippi stock-raiser says : "I have for years kept fat cows and had more milk and butter, and for less money, than anybody I know of. First, I sow peas broadcast, three pecks to a bushel per acre, in the month of May, harrowing them in after breaking the ground well ; then in September I pull them up when a few begin to dry, and make hay out of the vines and peas. I get from 4,000 to 0,000 pounds per acre of hay that is eaten by cattle and horses as eagerly as if it were the best clover. Pulling up is far preferable to moving, as cattle seem to love the roots better than the tops, and it is said to be more nutritious. No manuring is necessary, and an acre in sowed peas is worth six of fodder." The Successf'ni Farmer. The following, which we clip from one of our exchanges, contains some practical hints as well as good common sense, and will doubtless interest our farming friends : "To become eminently successful in any profes sion, two things are absolutely indispensible First, persistent energy ; second, a thorough knowledge of the business in all its details, and a fixed determination to keep with the times. All men engaged in mercantile pur suits, even on a small sca'e, know well the necessity of keeping themselves posted in everything pertaining to their trade, and all, with scarcely an exception, take and carefully read one or more journals devoted exclusively to their branch of business. They would not do without one, well knowing that their more enterprising neighbor w ould be Ijenefitted by sudden changes in market values, of which tney could have no knowledge. Every phy sician has his medical journals, lawyers have their periodicals, and watch carefully the latest decisions of the courts aud the enact ments of the legislatures. In fact, every profession has its periodical supported by nearly every member of the class which it represents. By merchants and professional men these periodicals devoted to their inter ests are considered as iudispensible. But with many farmers the case is quite other wise. Though from the very nature of things farmers generally require a more thorough and extended knowledge of their surround ings than almost any other profession, in or der to arrive at the maximum of success, yet very many, indeed take no pains whatever to familiarize themselves with the nature and habits of their* most valuable animals and plants, or of their most destructive and tor menting enemies, and utterly refuse to pat ronize periodicals devoted solely to their in terests, and intended to throw' light upon the dark side of every farmer's life. Many do not even attempt to familiarize themselves with the most ordinary rules of business, or the most common forms of law—and what is the result ? Is it much to be wondered at that many complain of the unprofitableness of their profession, or that some are victimized by cheats and sharpers ? Why is it that the butter of one dairyman always brings two, three and five cents per pound more than that of his neighbor? In the house of one you may find dime novels, comic almanacs and police gazettes; in the other carefully read agricultural papers and dairymen's books. Why is it one man always happens to receive the very highest market price for all bis grain and produce, while his unfortunate neighbor can scarcely receive enough to pay expenses? Some say "one is lucky," etc. In the lan guage of a well-known college President, we say, " Pluck is a hero, Luck is a fool."

George Frank. Gouley is Dead! The telegraph announces that our friend, Brother, Companion and Frater, Geo. Frank Gouley, perished in the flames which con sumed the Southern Hotel, at St. Louis, on the morning of the 11th inst. The true Mason's heart is sad all over this broad land, and even throughout the world, at this terri ble calamity,—for be had a world-wide repu tation as a Masonic writer. And by his bold stand for the right, his fearless attacks on every species of fanaticism, standing as he did on the ramparts of Masonry, he hurled with unerring aim at every insidious innova tion of her land marks; a bold Cavalier who ever weilded his sword in defense of the in nocent, the bereft, the desolate, and the true religion of Jesus. His friends loved and honored him, and his enemies, if he had any, were only those who regarded him in the light of a representative of truth, honor and integrity. As a writer—bold, fluent, strong, vigorous. As a frieud, warm, true and gen erous. As a Mason, true, tried and trusted. But be is gone, and the sons of Masonry feel that one of her bright lights is extinguished— one of her heroes has fallen—aud we mourn and cast a sprig of evergreen on his tomb, and point upward, saying ' ' the will of God is accomplished." Noble, generous Frank, your work is done, and well done. Farewell ! FROM ONE WHO LOVED HIM. ------ mm -4 »♦ ^ --- j»lore Blooded Stock for Montana.

The general impres sion conveyed by the newspaper paragraphs is, that Pius the Ninth will have been fifty years a Pope at his next anniversary of epis copal dignity. This is a mistake. The 3d of June next will be the fiftieth anniversary of his episcopacy, that is, fifty years a Bishop. On the 21st of June he will have been thirty one years Pope of Rome. The 10th of this month was the fifty-eighth anniversary of his Priesthood. Pius the Ninth is the only Pope who has outlived the years of St. Peter, and the only one who has ever visited the conti nent of America. As Father John Mary Mastai he sailed for America as Auditor of the Papal Legation to Chili in 1823. - m » !■ >•»» Pony. A correspondent writing us from Pony says : "The future prospects of the camp are flattering. There is an abundance of good-paying gold ore in sight to run 20 or 30 stamps for several years. The mines are easily worked. Prospecting and developing are going on in every direction. The town is being built up rapidly. There are three hotels, all doing a good business ; three stores, well stocked with goods, a number of saloons, blacksmith shops, livery and feed stables, and minor business houses. In fact every interest of a well regulated mining camp is ably represented. Our population is con stantly increasing, and I do not believe there is a camp in Montana that has a more flatter ing prospect for its near future than Pony." Sale of Sheep. Davenport, Ray & Co. have sold 1,500 head of sheep, all ewe9, to Governor Potts, to be delivered in September. The amount paid was £4,500—three dollars per head. The Governor has not yet, we believe, loca ted his i*anch. an The Hot Springs. Mr. W. J. Miner, son-in-law of Colonel Hundley, has leased that popular resort, the Hot Springs.

Personal —Blaine Walker, who has been to the Tongue river posts to pay off the garrisons stationed there, returned home last night after an absence of five weeks.

Miss Nettie will be absent several weeks. Two Irreconcilable Conditions« Debility aud health are irreconcilable conditions. Weakly people, that is to say people who lack the vitality requisite for a vigorous discharge of each and all of the bodily functions, are invariably afflicted with some, though it nay be a trifling, disorder of the system. Atony, or a want of nervous and muscular vigor, is accompanied by poverty of the blood and leanness. A certain way to overcome it and prevent the aggravated maladies to which it must ultimately lead is the use of Hostetter's Stomach Hitters, which promote digestion aud assimilation of the food, and thus are the means of furnishing the body with a supply of blood of a quality essential to its proper nourishment. Invigoration through the instrumen tality of the matchiees tonic protects the feeble from a host of bodily ills which lurk in ambush for the debilitated. The Bitters are an article which it is most desirable to keep constantly on hand. Unwholesome Food« By the unnatural combination of different articles by ignorant persons tor baking powders, (even if arti cles are pure) they render the food very indigestible, as the chemical action, when they enter the stomach» prevents their being digested. Of these mixtnres, it requires but a small quantity to make food very un wholesome. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the only powder prepared by the application of scientific principles, combining all the elements of a perfect powder, thns making it safe, economical, and nutri tous,and only to he equalled iu purity and strength by his True Flavoring Extracts, with which every house keeper should be supplied.
