Jerry Collins, of the IRi, er Press, on his
recent vihit to this place, came over the
Bullshead road, over which there has
been more or less controversy. Jerry
says the road is not bad, and upon I
the whole will compare favorably with
any other Montana highway.
Friends may d wcrt an editor, rivals
may scorn him, and lie uway fail to get a
p)stollce, but as long as his scissors do
not break and the cockroaches do not eat
his paste, hope turns its golden light up
on him and his future has a trade silver
dollar lining which sorrow corrode.
One of the laughable incidents of the
prrcession which escorted John China
man to the ferry was the presence of "Jim
Blaine" bringing up the rear, or acting as
rear guard. As usual, Jim was in no con
dition to navigate steadily, and the way
he hit the road, first on one side and then
on the other, would have made a Chinese
god smile.
We learn from a creditable source that
some important discoveries have recently
been made in the Yogo district. Native
copper in large quantities has been found
and the silver prospects are showing up
handsomely, while the quality and quan
tity of the ore is not excelled in any
of the other adjacent districts. Yogo is
likely to be heard from yet ere the snow
flies.
Northern Montana, while enjoying no
boom, is nevertheless fast settling up by
a good and industrious class of citizens.
As evidence of this, three years ago there
was only one ranch on Otter creek, while
now one will see nearly every half mile
of its full length the neat and well kept
cottage of the rancher and stockman.
This Is the kind of immigration
Montana needs and should encourage.
Boom immigration has never yet made
any new country noted or wealthy.

an assault It appears he was loaded up i
with poor whisky, which in a measure bc
accounts for his actions. From what we R

The New Northwest, editorially, says: o0
f The first parson stinglar" is coming in r
as an element of Montana journalism to W
the exclusion of "we, 11, etc." The Butte fc
]tiner, which, without other "fuss" than
inheros with the name of the editor, has is
infused a good lmans: improvemneuts in the
I style of presenting naive in Montana, was, of
we believe, the fir-t to adopt the perpen- pi
diicular pronouu in editorially treating to
dramatic matters, alnd now we notice the e

We like to ioear a man refuse to take a

like to hear m':n complain, when asked dl

take- more pape)'s than he reads now, and n
then go around and borrow his neighbor's t`.
{ or loaf around until he gets all the news it

his home paper as not worth taking, and tr
every now and then beg the editor for a S,

a merchant neglect to advertise in his hi

the trade the newspaper brings into town. C

There has been in Crenat Falls this week
a. old-timner who is fairiy well known in I
Montana and vwho has haIl one of the
mot remarkable adventures with a hear, 1
and recovered from injuries which
would have killed nine out of ten men.
I Hle is shoekinl v scarred, and would have 1
no trouble in proving his claim to having 1
s recovered from injuries which certainly
would have proved fatal to a less hardy
and weaker constitutionei roan. This I
party is none other than IHannuial Rowe. I
who in 1880, while hunting in the moun- I
tains, at the head of Prickly Pear, was
set upon by a she hear, who took him un
awares, and after knocking him down, t
breakinv his cheek-bone and horriblm v
- mangling his face and tearing his scalp I
from his head, bit him three times, in the '
shoulder, side and thigh, and then left I
s him for dead to return to her cubs. Rowe
t was not dead, as she supposed, but was I
playing "possom," and as soon as she re
turned to her offspring, he managed in r
soone unaccountamle manlier to drag him- (
self to a place of safety, and to where he t
could receive necessary medical assist- i
I ance. His escape from instant death, and r
final recovery, may be set down as one of t
the most marvelous on record.
'The Chin:man affair in this place cul
minated last Tuesday in John packing
his Sacratoga and leaving the town without
t much ado. Bad blood was stirred up by
the outcome of the attempt to make .John I
leave 7oiiC weeks ago, and has been agi
tated between drinks since, and dire
threats were made against him, if lie did
e not go. John was naturally afraid, and
- had made arrangements to go out on 1
a Wednesday's coach, but being afraid of
s his life procured an old unloaded navy
revolver which he packed around, as a
y means of defense during the intervening
a time. Tuesday afternoon lie foolishly
e went down to where the workmen were
engaged on the dam, and exhibiting his
t ancient weapon, said to the boys, "you
foolee me, and me shoot." That remark
settled the Chinese question. The work
men immediately stopped operations, for
the time, and gave John to understand I
that he must go, and that, too, without
any unnecessary delay. It is needless to
say that he stood not upon the order of
his going. But as soon as lie could arrange
matters, John took passage with E. B.
Largent for Johnstown, with the inten
0 tiou of shaking all the Great Falls dust
Y from the soles of his sandals as soon as
he arrived on the opposite side of the
e Missouri. As soon as John got fairly
e started, a large concourse of men gutted
e his shack of its paraphernalia, and load
t ing it into a wagon, formed a procession
. and marched down to the ferry where it
n was taken across the river. During the
trip from his shack to the ferry, it is said
e that John became so frightened that lie
turned three shades whiter than snow.
n Frank Higgins, Sam Mitchell and John
it Hobbins, of Choteau, join -in a letter to
i- the Missoulian, which appeared in the
d current number, regarding the alleged -
d cattle stealing a iair of Quinn & Camp
e bell in the Northwest Territory. The
substance of the letter is that Quinn went
p into that country in 1881 and secured a
e body of land in the center of the Oxley f T
e Ranch lease. As might be expected, the
e powerful Oxley company were hostile to
is Quinn, and put forth every effort to re
move him, and as a clincher, trumped up
an alleged cattle stealing charge against a
e him, and caused his arrest. lie was tl
ir bound over under 22,000 bonds, which he le
" secured. Then J. R. Craig, the manager al
of the Oxley ranch, went to him and off- e`
t ered to pay the amount of his bond and tL
see him safely over the boundary if he re
a would skip. This Quinn refused to do c:
t- Then other tactics were resorted to and si
u it was hinted to Quinn that if he did not 11
it vamnose he might get into trouble. Under h:
the circumstances, Quinn thought discre- in
3 tints the better part of valor, and after dis- hi
a posing of his cattle to the Oxley ranch w
company, and paying his bonds, struck w
out for Montana. This is Mr. Quinn's cc
n version of the story and the gentlemen
c whose names head this article will vouch st
.P for its truthfulness. at
11 The T stt nc S concern in this matter ct
is is encompassed in a reproduction from lh<
the Calgary Herald of the sceount of the 'is
affair at the time it happened, and, later It
s, on, a correction of tue same as
- published by that paper. We are pleased N
to know that Mlr. Quinn is innocent of the at
crime charged, and altso that he escaped ct
so luckily. The Oxiey ranch company of
is building up an unsn viable reputatioin t
in Montana by its operations.
FOOL AND PHILOSOPHER. 01
w
n I amt sorry to be obliged to return to the
e Chinaman af ir again, but is necessary in
e view of the fact that Alh Wap, the laun
i drymnan, has been forced to quit the town.
0I thoue aht it was understood when thisit
matter tas.. agitated some weeks ago, that
there is a right and a wrong way to go i
about uell matters, and that in all cases
a that it was wiser and better policy not to 0
trample upon the laws of the United d1
States, cnder any circumstances. Under
Sno consideration do I uphold Chinese Ia
l ot, neither do the people of this town
who have, in a manner, "staid with" this y
A. Chinainan utnder existing circumstances;
1, but I do think that they are a necessary evil i
and in their piace must and will be toler
ated so long as the United States allows 11
them suffrage, and so long as they con
(-form 1 'ith the laws of the country, are 0
entitled to their protection, and it is well e
d that this should be understood. Such af- g
fairs this can only have the effect of n
_ , (reat Fills a hard name abroadn,
and will 'lo it untold injury. People will
i net care to to a town where they are ob. i
lited to curry favor with a certain faction
in order to make their residence here safe
atnd pleasant. If the parties who were
so bitterly opposed to this Chinaman hasd
waited upon the few who seen fit to pat
11
Id ronize lims, and requested theta to with
hold their support, there is no questiont
but that every one would have done so,
td and as a consequence be would have been
obliged to leave, and would have done so
Id in a manner which would not have left
af such a telling blow upon the town. This
should have been considered, and acted
upon before such vandalic acts were re
-k sorted to. It is foolishtess for a few or a
in faction tsi undertake to run (Treat Falls, t
te and say who shall and who shall not re
tr, main I ere. Property holders have somets
:h say in this matter, and it is right that they
t. should. Personally, I amt glad the China
re man is gone, and hope that peace and 0
,' quiettudl will now reign supreme, but am
l sorry that circuitstance-a of this character
lV siios:hd attend his departure. It is just
is possible that a certain few in this towns
e. might follow the example of the China
s- man and vamose, with good effect. li

Ip manym of the westerts towns arid cities. 0
te Thec recent minti-Chinese oittbreak in Wvo
ft tmintg seems to itave been the starter. Tile
a0 Atn.coodai Review says, "There seemss to
as have beets stirred up a feeling against the
e Celestials all over the west. A gentle
in man wiho was down froms Butte ti few
is. dasys ago, said that there was already some
so talk ttp there about getting rid of them

af the Kntiglits of Labor in Ainacottia held a li
mieetitig its the Methsodist chsurchs for thse a
psutrpose of diseussintg the mtatter. The
i1 principal outcome of thse mseeting was
ig the passage of a restolution to withdraw
at their patronage froms all hotels and board. r
'7itg houses that employ Chitnese labor. So
in I fr as we can learn those hotels whso dot
ens mplsy Celestials, do so only on account
re of the scarcity of white kitchen mechan
iti ics, and wousld be very glad to employ i
iii white cooks arid domsestics if they could
n' be obtaitned. The action of the Knightst
of of Labor will probably stimulate the pro

a still further efforts to obtain white labor- t

I on
At the meeting of the Montana Pio- liii
neers held at Helena August 28, 1885, it
r was unanimously voted that each one who co
had signed the roll of Pioneers, and every th
one entitled soto do, should be requested th
to furnish the corresponuing secretary, lia
f during the coming year, a brief s!etcih of lil
his life for the purpose of making up a
"Pioneers' Record," similar to that of ti
California, and that all the newspapers of be
t Montana be requested to publish this no- of
s tice for three months and aid in the ac
complishment of this enterprise.
The sketch should contain at least the
date and place of birth, the date, route
and means of conveyance in coming to
z Montana, place of residence since coming, th
t occupation and most important events of
during such residence, with any addition- th
I al matters the writer may wish to make.
Many of the pioneers are dead, and it ri'
is earnestly desired that some friend may ri
supply the record for such ones. th

{ HIGILWOOI) AD) SHIOVKiN.
The Beautiful and Fertile Valleys of
Highwood and Shonkin anti the
People wlt+) Reside There.
It has never been my pleasure to visit
a more fertile section of country than
that of the Ilighwood and Shonkin val
leys. The bench-lands of this country
are especially productive and should for- -
ever set at nought the cry of stock men,
that "Montana is fit for nothing but stock
raising," and that agriculture can not be
carried on here without a very expensive
0
I system of irrigation. A gentleman on t]
t Highwood, who is a practical farmer and
r has two hundred acres on the bench, told p
- me that lie expected to realize 45 to 50
- bushels per acre, without irrigation, and
will probably do so, for I have never seen -
wheat shocks so thick on any field in any
s country.
i While this country is pre-eminently a
i stock region, there are portions of it that
are second to none as a cereal-producing
country; and to the farmer who comes
here and carries on general farming there
is bound to be a bright future before him.
It is a noticeable fact that the farmer
whostarts with some stock on his farm
and looks after them and saves the in
1 crease, are the ones who make a success
of the business. There is no better coun
try in the world for this class of farming.
There are a number of families settled P
on llighwood and Shonkin creeks, all of
whom have placed very substantial im
provements on their ranches, and in fact
their places look as if their owners had
"come to stay," and were operating them
on the eastern plan as though they had
thiorou-hly learned their business.
On the way up to llighwood I passed -
in succession the ranches of Shepherd,
Peck & Lacey and James Arnoux, on all
of which the crops have yielded abun
dantly.
I then came to the ranch of R W. I
huc land, who I found very busy stick
i in- his wheat, which lie assured me would j
Syield him at least 40 bushels to the acre.
Mr. Duckland has a very fine ranch and
I has built himself a large barn, on the
New Engl-mnd plan, and it certainly does
lhim great credit.
Above dir. Buckland ranches alternate
on either side of the creek and the ranch
ers are mostly enciged in vt:oi cing their
gramn. They all have more or less wheat
which the, say is g'ong to be brought to
Great Falls to be ground into four by the
new mill there.
About eight miles up the creek is the
ranch of Mr. (X i. IHoyle, who has one of
e the finest randhes in this section, and all
e of his ima promements are of a good and
ýtsubsta ntial kind.
Above MIr. Ih le's place the bottom land
broadcus and the rahch es are pretty well
taken up. It is a most beautiful sight up
the valley from this point,for the scenery
of the mountains present a very pretty
place to build a home. Particularly no
ticeable aumonzc the ranches are those of
J. C. MeCord, Jos. Streit, T. A. MleCor- C
mick, C. G. Fish, E. J. Price, and Allen
Woods.
Mr. Price has demonstrated the fact
that small fruits can be successfully
grown in this part of Montana. Hle has -
for this past three years been experiment
ing in the nursery- tuciness and is now
able to show sonue very fine specimens
of small fruit.
Leaving lHighwood by the way of the
"gap," I cane to the place of Harris & E
Rowe, who have a very fine horse ranch
on the bench. They also do a little farm
ing, and Mr. Howe informed me that he
had found irrigation entirely unneces
sary to the successful raising of his crops. tl
'TheI unfortunately lost most of their h
grain this vear by a severe hail storm,
On the bench land in the neiehbiorbcdo
of Messrs. Harris & Rowe quite a aum
ber of farmers itve taken up their ti
ranches and have from the start raised C1
very lirge crops. S
It is a fact worthy of mention that here a
so near the mountains they Tc not have T
frosts as early as in the country rear the w
Missouri river.
Mr. Parrolt has a fine ranch on the foot n'
hills of the Ilighwood mountains and a`
has an abundant harvest this year. He w
has made quite a start in growing trees a'
and small fruit. al
Leaving the bench at Mr. Parsons' I w
went into what is called the Big Sag. C
This is apparently the former bed of a ti
river that at sometime flowed down to- B
ward the Missouri. Shonkin creek runs b
through a portion of this sag. The Sag h
is also well sipplied with springs, and a It
good many ranchers have taken up their v
homes here. t
The first place I came to on leaving p
the bench was that of Richard Smith,who n
has raised a very fine crop this year. b
After leaving Mr. Smith's place I found c'
the Shonkin to be well settled, and no- n
ticed particularly the ranches of Joe n
Cobell, D. 0. Reily and the Messrs. Con
leys, all of whose places well paid their F
owners for the labor they have expended
on theim in the amount of produce they
have raised.
The ranchers of the Milner Live Stock
company and George Patterson are wor c
thy of special mention, for they show i
that these gentlemen are energetic and S
have their places fixed up in a very home- P
like manner.
The people of these places I have men- c
tioned are worthy the benefits nature has s
bestowed upon them in the fruitful land ti
of Montana. h

NAVIGATING THE UPPER MISSOU- g

We reproduce from the Helena Herald
the following concerning the importance F
of navigating the upper Missouri from
this point to Helena:
The navigation by steamboats of the q
river above the Great Falls of the Misson- 0
ri, means cheap fuel for Helena and all c
the possibilities that may result to our en- c
terprising citizens from the conveniences a
of that commodity utilized in the arts,
trades and manufactures. A steamboat, c
towing two barges,can make the trip from d
the Sand Coulee coal mines to a point on 1
DELAINE RAMS.
I have for sale One Hundred and Forty Thoroughbred Dalaine Merino
Rams of the well-known Campbell stock. They were shipped from Vermont
one year ago, and are all two years old. For quality and length of wool,
these sheep cannot be excelled. I will sell them at prices to suit the times.
This flock of thoroughbred sheep can be seen at Great Falls during the
