H. O. Chowen, one of the proprietors
of the Cataract Roller mill at this place,
informs us the mill will be ready for
work in three weeks.
E. W. Cory has just returned from a
short visit to the South Fork country. IIe
says the grain looks well and promises an
abundant yield. Nearly all the ranchers
will bring their wheat here to be milled.
Work has been commenced on the dam
which is to be extended out some 300 or
400 feet into the'river from the opposite
side. The current runs near the opposite
hank, and by throwing out a ting daim,
it will have a tendency to force the water
toward this shore.
Caroline Wildekopf, wife of Herman
nWildekopf of this place, died atthe Ilome

Saturday, Auguist29,18t5. Deceased had
been sick with that drei.lfulldisease, con
sumption, for the last three -yetrs --J_.ht
leaves a husband and child to mourn hei
loss.
J. F. Murphy, Choteau county's able
assessor, arrived in Great Falls this week.
Mr. Murphy is quite emphatic in his re
marks againstthe "Salary Law" as passed
by the late lamented, and thinks it should
be repealed without delay. lie says in
Choteau county, the expenses eat up all
the salary, anti only leaves a small amount
of honor for his compensation.
We have learned that a citizen of Fort
Benton will construct and operate a boat
above the falls next summer. The boat
will be of ample dimensions and its pro
pelling power will be twin propellers and
suilicient power to take it over Priest
rapids. Such a venture would he remun
erative and we are glad that a Bentonite
has the spunk to make the experiment.
Press.
An exhange makes the following sar
donic observations: "We like to hear a
man refuse to take a home paper and all
the time sponge on his neighbors for the
reading of it. We like to hear a man
complain when asked to subscribe for his
home paper, that he takes more papers
than he reads now, trlen go around and
borrow his neighbor's, or loaf around un
til he gets all the news from it."
The parties prospecting for coal at the
Great Falls have the shaft down over 50
feet. They have discovered one small 1
vein of very fine coal between two stratas
of slate, but it was too thin for any pur
pose. This vein was found at a depth of
fourteen feet below the river, and the coal
is particularly bright and greatly resem
bles the anthracite coal of Pennsylvania.
They expect to find alarge icini of the
same kind of coal within a short time.
Jos. Allen, of Jos. Allen and & Son,
sheep raisers of Sand Coulee, made us a
pleasant visit one day last week. In con
versation, the subject of wheat raising
was brought up, and 1lr. Allen informs
us that for the past four years he has rais- t
ed a small patch of wheat for chicken a
feed, and thatit wasas fine, plump wheat
as can be raised anywhere, and that, too,
without irrigation. He says there is no I
question but that as good quality of I
wheat can be produced here as in Dakota
and Minnesota.
From a private letter received by a St. c
Paul gentleman from a friend in Montana
it appears that a lot of moneyed men, Z
residents of St. Paul, are interested, or d
expecting to become interested, in the a
mining camp of Neihart in that Territory.
The St. Paul gentlemen named br the I
writer in this connection are Dennis Ryan, h
J. J. Hill, P. H. Kelly and Mr. Broad- h
water. iMessrs. Ryan and Broadwater
have Tecently visited the eamp. to see
whether it will be advantageous for them
to purchase and work a certtain lead with
reference to which they have instituted C
some negotiations.-Pioneer Press. tl
The Husbandman thinks we have im
maculate gall to boast of two steam mills C
at Great Falls. A town "built upon the o
greatness of its water power," he seems o
to think, should have no steam engines.
Where have you been brother Husband- fj
man all your life, that you should have 1e
so little knewled of' manufacturing d

We learn that the exhibit of blooded
cattle at the fair was unusually fine, and
much credit is due T. C. Power for his
effortsin making the cattle department a
success.
At the National Park recently, a HIelena
lady met a gentleman interested in the
Sand Coulee coal mines, who told her
. that in less than ten years Great Falls
would be the largest city in the Territor£.
a So mote it be.
Ot ur reporter saw X. Beidler wiping his
eyes just after one of the balloon ascen
sions at the Territorial fair. Inquiring
if he was weeping because the balloonist
had safely descended, X. answered not
t t but because the "balloon looked so
mtch like his father-law's tepee," was the
reason for his shedding tears.
The travel in the National Park this
year is said to be treble that of any pre
ceding year. Tourists are coming there
from almost every country in Europe as
well as from every State in the Union.
r With a railroad and good hotels here next
year or the year after we may expect the
bulk of travelers to .f'e Park to include
the wonderful falls of the Missouri in
their excursion.
After a sharply fought contest the Iel
ena Land Office has decided the cases of
Wood and Charles and Frank Griffin vs.
Ball et. al., in favor of the latter. Mc
Cutcheon & Sterling represented the
former and Rolfe & Parker were attor
neys for the victorious parties. Mr. Rolfe
bas been engaged in over a dozen land
cases near this place and has been vic
torious in every one.
The St. Paul Globe gives publicity to
current belief that the Manitoba road is
arranging to build a connection between
Crookston and Duluth and extend its
I)evil's I ake branch through northern
I)Dakota and Montana to Great Falls in
Montana. This idea is revived by several
circumstances among which are the facts
that IPresident lHill of the Manitoba road
is lIrgely interested in the Great Falls
water power and that the Crookston and
IDuluth line is now being surveyed.
The practice of indiscriminate shoot
ing which has been indulged in to some
extent in Great Falls, should have a stop
put to it. It is only a matter of time un
til some one is wounded or killed by one
of these stray shots. There is a Terri
torial law concerning the matter, which
we publish for the benefit of those who
are in the Iabit of banging around with
a gun in the village:
Section 155 Revised Statutes of Mon
tana: That it shall be unlawful for any
son to fire any gun. pistol or any firearm
of whatever description, within the lim
its of any town. city or village in this
'Territory, or within tihe limits of any pri
vate enclosure which shall contain a
dwelling house. All persons violating
this section shall he lined in any sum not
less than $5.00) nor more than $25.00.
P The matter of operating a small steam
s, er on the Missouri between this point and
rI elena is being dis('ussed, not only by
the p1eople here but by Helena parties.
a There is no question but in time such an
e enterprise will be launched. The only
a bad piece of river is thie lalf-breed rapids
I above Ulidia, and these are not bad. A
few thousand dollars judiciously expend
c ed would make the river clear of all ob
Sr tucles which would in anyway interfere
with a steamer of the size that would
be required. If the Neihart camp is
e opened, giving employment to a con
siderable number of men, this matter is
quite likely to materialize sooner than it
would otherwise. Great Falls will un
d1 oubtedly be the supply point of the
camp, and will also receive the output of
I its mins, and unless we have communi
t cation by rail with Helena and other
points, it is certain thatthe.MIissouri river
between here and Helena will be utilized.
t It is our impression that the enterprise
t would, even at the present time, pay any
man that would rustle, a very fair revenue.
t
Last Sunday night, about 12 o'clock
I certain parties went to Ah Wah's laundry
t and under pretense of bringing some
clothes to be washed, the celestial opened
the door. No sooner was the door open
ed than he was seized by the neck and
nearly choked to death, and after being
muzzled so lie could not cry out,wasdrag
ged to the river and placed in a small
boat, without oars, and pushed off into
the stream. Then one of the parties
counseled killing the celestial, which
frightened him so that he jumped from
the boat into the stream and swam out
around the dam, and over rapids down to
a point below the Cataract mill, where he
came ashore in a badly demoralized con
dition. He says there were ten in the
party, all of whom wore handkerchiets
over their faces, but one. This was cer
tainly a brave act, for ten or twelve men
to jump onto a poor Cihinaman and nearly
kill him. If the Chinaman is not wanted
here there are other ways of removing
him than by resorting to such low vandal
ism.

Falls several days the past week.
J. M. Largent arrived here one day this
week from a trip through the Highwood
country. He reports crop prospects good.
James Walker, of the firm of Walker
& Carter, arrived from Great Falls yester
day and will return in the morning with
a load of freight.-Press.
E. B. Largent, Judge Burcher, and Mr.
Blanchard, of Sun River, started from
here Sunday morning for a visit to Nei
hart. They expect to be gone one week.
Robert Vaughn returned to Sun River
Leavings Wednesday and will pay Great
Falls a visit in a few days. His magnifi
cent horses attracted much attention at
the fair.
A large party from. Benton, consisting
of Col. J. H. Rice and family, Ashby
Conrad, Mrs. Stanford, Mrs. Keeler and
others, arrived at Great Falls Thursday
on a pleasure excursion.
Robert Walker returned to his ranch
from Helena Wednesday. Mrs. Walker
left for Chicago Monday. Mr. Walker
will join her there after collecting and
driving a herd of cattle to Maple Creek.
James Kelly has quit Great Falls for a
time. We poetize thusly:
Oh; Kelly,; we miss thee,
For morn, hoon and night
Thy lithe, suple figure was ever in sight,
While thy tongue it did clamor t
For what you thought was riht,
When you said, "Stand by lte flag,
Boys," and all get "tight." e
FOOL AND PHILOSOPHER.
t
It is to be hoped that acts of vandalism s
such as have been committed here not in- t
frequently the past summer will be stop- I
ped. It has been found out that there is f
a law, and that it must be respected. The
Chinaman affair last Sunday night was a t
bad deal, and one which opens the door i
of the penitentiary to every person en
gaged in it. It is not the intention of any
one, so far as I am able to learn, to push ,
this matter any further, if it is dropped, t
and acts of such tharacter stopped, but
otherwise the matter will be brought be- 1
fore the grand jury, and all the parties en- 1
gaged in the affair will have a chance to
represent Choteau county at Deer Lodge.
I don't think there is a man in Great Falls
that is personally in love with this individ
ual Chinaman, or the Chinese in general,
but that is not the point. So long as he is
here, and complies with the laws of the
country, lie is entitled to their protection, I
and there is no one, that for a moment,
wants to think he will not receive it. It 1
has come to a pretty pass if when a man
comes here he has got to gain the good
will of a few rounders, or be peremptor
ily fired out of town. If this matter is t
allowed to go on without restraint where i
will it end ? Great Falls will get an un- I
enviable reputation abroad, which will I
injure it greatly, and people will be afraid I
to come here and reside. It is no use to
plead the Chinese question in defence of
the act, for a portion of the gang that as
saulted the Chinaman are implicated in
other acts of lawlessness which have been t
perpetrated here before, and for which i
the door of the Territorial "pen" is open. c
No excuse can be offered for a crowd of
hoo doos that will mask themselves, and
in the dead hour of night, when all hon
est men should be in bed, go and maltreat
and abuse an inoffensive Chinaman, and
every man engaged in the disgraceful af
fair should be ashamed of himself, and r
can thank his stars that the matter is go- I
ing to be allowed to rest. A repetition
of any acts of this kind in the future, ev
ery man implicated in this affair can
make up his mind that he is a candidate C
for the "pen," for the people of Great t
Falls, who believe in law and order will c
stand no more foolishness, and the sooner
this matter is understood and respected,
the better it will be for all parties.
Assessor Murphy tells me that Great
Falls and Choteau are the only places lie
has visited during the past summer that t
have shown the least evidence of life. I
a
Put any man down for a liar that tells c
your the flour mill in this place will not f
be ready for work this fall.
Now that the Meagher county com
missioners-have accepted the Saud Coulee
road, it would be a good idea for the peo
ple of that camp to endeavor to get mail
service between Neihart and Great Falls.
It is an undisputed fact that the Belt i
creek route via Great Falls is the only A
practical route into the camp, and the
only route by which they can hope to get
mail and supplies at all seasons of the
year. The road leading into Neihart from
the other side of the range is practically f
impassable for nine months in the y3ear.

POULTRY AND EGGS.
The people of Montana need to under
stand better than they do the advantage
of smaller economies and minor indus
tries. It is not a rare thing in going
through portions of our Territory where
thousands of cattle are grazing that you
can find neither milk, cream or. butter.
With little additional care and labor,
enough might be made out of a dairy to
pay all the running expenses, besides af
fording a much better living to all en
gaged in stock raising.
Another of these smaller industries,
particularly well adapter to the care of
the women and children on the farm, is
the raising of poultry, with an abnd.an
supply of eggs for home use and the
market. Every farm in Montana ought
to pro:luce poultry and eggs enough to
supply all home wants and have some to
turn in to the nmarket. Every ranch in
Montana could make a profit of three or
four hundreds of dollars from this source
and it would aggregate a large sum for
the whole Territory. There are seasons
when poultry always commands a high
price in our home markets; and shrewd
economists should be ready to take ad
vantage of it. The conditions of success
should be understood, and they are not
difficult to find out. The hundreds and
thousands sent out of Montana every year
for butter, cheese, poultry, eggs, etc.,
would make a good revenue if, as it
might be, it were retained at home.
Herald.
OUR RAMBLER.
The name Sand Coulee is apt to mis
lead a stranger to the country, and is not
as the name would imply, a sandy coun
try, but is in fact one of the most fertile
valleys in Montana.
The first ranch at the head of Sand
Coulee is that of Mr. Philips, who has
about 15 acres of oats in this year which
is looking fine '. Mr. Philips tells me
that last year, on newly broken ground,
he realized 50 bushels per acre and ex
pects this year to do even better than that.
The next ranch above Mr. Philips' is
Mr. Johnson's, who has about 30 acres of
oats and wheat, and all looking nicely.
Messrs. Tage and Jemison I found cut
ting and stacking their grain. They have
in all about 60 acres of both wheat and
oats.
To appreciate the wonderful growth of
grain in this country one must go there
and walk through the fields. Not only
will the valleys produce these large
yields, but also the bench lands where the
rainfall is abundant, being so near the
mountains.
Leaving Sand Coulee, I crossed the di
vide at the foot of Tiger Butte to the head
of Belt creek. The first ranch I came to
was that known as the "Cappiana Ranch"
owned by Mr. Swerdfiger, who has in a
fine crop this year, especially his wlet
which he expects to yield 40 bushels per
acre.
Next I came to the ranch of Messrs.
Goodman & Burghardt, who have one of
the largest ranches on the creek. They
have about 1d) acres in crls this year
and are couutinng on about >,(000 bushels
of grain. ';r.Goodman; shooed mu, some
fine "-No. 1 hard," of which he expeicts to
have a limited amo'nt for sced next year.
I'assi:, down the creek to the mouth
of (Dtter creek 1 pasmd wome very fine
looking places, all of which looked as
though they wi-re ui:na:ged by thrifty
farmers.
Passing up Otter creek 1 passed a num
ber of fine ranches, especially those of
Messrs. Ford and Eaton in the lower part
and Mann and Thornton on the upper
part. Mr. Mann has a very tine crop of
oats, wheat a.,r garden vegetables, and in
fact his farm looks very States-like.
Leaving Otter' creek at Mr. Mann's
farm I went up Little Otter to the ranch
of T. A. Wall, who has quite a settlement
on his place which is certainly one of~ he
most picturesque ranlches I have ever
seen. lie has shut down his saw mill for
the present, but busying himself hauling
logs and will soon be running again at
full speed.
Mr. Wall tells me of a grotto which he
discovered above his ranch. While clean
ing out a spring he struck a blow with an
axe and thought that it sounded hollow.
He then ldug a hole large enough to let
himself in and was surprised to find a
large cave, the walls and ceiling of which
was covered with a lime formation very
much resembling icicles. From the main
room, which is about 30x40, are chambers
leading in every direction.
It would do Mrs. Wall great injustice
to fail to mention her beautiful flower
garden. She has shown that flowers of a
great variety can be grown very success
fully here. And if all the ladies would
follow her example there would be a
great many more attractive homes in the
country.
Reluctantly leaving Mr. Wall's place I
returned to Belt creek and came to the
ranch of Sems & Armington, a large sheep
ranch, where everything connected with
the ranch went to show that the owners
meant business.
Next is the ranch of David Graham.
He has one of the most fertile ranches in
that part of the valley, and he informed
me that he sowed no wheat this year, but
that the voluntary crop will be as large
as his last year's crop.
Next I came toLitt!e Pittsburg. Here
there is a hotel, kept by Mr. Castner, a
store, owned by E. R. Clingan, and a black
smith shop. Mr. Castner keeps a good
house and deserve~a' tronage. Mr. Cling
an keeps a full line of general merchan
dise and says that business is very good
with him.
The several coal mines at this place are
now being worked to get ready for the fall
business, and are certainly showift some
magnificent coal. Watson and Millard
have both developed their mines in such
a way that they can deliver a large quan
tity of coal on short notice. Mr. Millard
showed me some blacksmith coal that
would do credit to any coal field.
This Belt creek coal, which is proba
bly the same vein as that found in Sand
Coulee, is fully as good as the coal of
Sand Coulee, which is more frequently
mentioned.
After leaving Little Pittsburg I went
down the creek, where are a number of
very fine ranches, on which the owners
were busy harvesting their abundant
crops. RAMBLER.
