Sufiice to say no great amount of blood pr
was lost. The witnesses to the aray say lit
it resembled a cat fight. st<
The Eclipsa stables in this place will i wI

we heartily recommend the `'Eclipse" as
worthy of the patronage of the public.
Mr. Spear tinished sinking a well on 11. co
P. liolfe's ranch, east of town, last week.
He found an abun lance of water of a al,
good quality at a depth of sixty feet, till- W
ing the well to within 23 feet of the sur- N

It is thought that the ruling price for ri
coal this winter will be from $6 to .17 per

Doc Spurgeon has rented iemp &
it
Keoghts building on Second avenue south,
and will move his popular resort therein
the first of the coming month. I)oc has
purchased a billiard and pool table, and
proposes keeping no with the times.
Mr. Spear has received a complete new
drilling attachinent for his well borer, and
hereafter will not be inconvenienced by
that important part of his machinery cot
ting out of repair, as has frequently been I
the case the piat summer. Ile is now
sinkine a well for Wmi. Wamer.
Brethren, is there a man with soul so I
dead, who never to himself has said-"I
will my local paper take, both for my
own and family's sake?' If such there
be, let him repent, and have the paper to
him sent; for if he'd pass a happy winter
he in advance should pay the, printer.
The weather sharks in this section say
that at present the indications favor a
mild, open winter. We would not advise
anyone to lay in any less fuel for winter
use on the strength of this prophecy. as
these weather sharks are usually not to
be depended upon to any great extent.
A gentleman who has just returned
from a trip to White Sulphur Springs and
the upper Smith river valley, says that
the wheat crop is excellent, and that many
of the ranchers residing within from tive
to ten miles of White Sulphur will bring
their wheat here to be made into flour.
Heretofore it has been more convenient
when visiting the Great fall, to go on the
opposite side of the river, owing to the
precipitous approach from this side, but
lately a road has been made on this side
which is comparatively easy, and the view
is said to be better than from the opposite
side.
P. H. Hughes started Tuesday for the
Yogo mining district, where lie has a
number of valuable claims. Mr. Hughes
says Yogo will be the best camp in the
world within the next ten years. He is
an old and practical miner, and ought to
know what he is talking about, and we
believe he does.
We were shown a stalk of oat grown
.on Robert Vaughn's ranch in the Sun riv
er valley which measures seven feet and
two inches long, the head being twenty
inches in length. Mr. Vaughn expects to
get an average of 75 bushels per acre
from the field from which this stalk was
selected. Ths stalk can be seen in Mr.
Gibson's office.
We understand Great Falls is to have a
drug store shortly, it being the intention
of a firm now doing business in Fort
Worth, Texas, to remove their stock here
yet this fall. It would seem that this
would be a good location for this particu
lar line of trade, as there would be no
competition between Helena and Benton,
a distance of over 140 miles.
J. T. Lee, of Sand Coulee, has made the
best catch of fish at the Great falls yet
reported. He hooked 150 pounds in
well, we will not say in what length of
time, recently. Friday, of last week, he
made a catch of 50 pounds in half an
hour. This is a fish story, to be sure, but
nevertheless it is authentic, and we do
not want to see any of our exchanges
poking fun at It, or hinting that the scales
were out of whack.
Will Hanks, the editor of the Great
Falls TRIBUNE, is contemplating a bear
hunt, so we are informed. We rather sus
pect that when his bearship makes an
appearance brother Hanks will make a
strong eudeavor to view Montana scenery
frtga-t cosivenient tree top.-Press.
Toe abmweis strictly our views on the
sub jee *f bear-hunting, and if on tae
proposed hunt, we should accidentally
run up against bruin, we shall put in prac
tice exactly what the Pressso kindly hints
we are likely to do. "Honest confession nai
is good for the soul." ma
Wim. Glassman, of Beuton, was in town thi
one day this week, having just returned ant
from an extended trip to Neihart, the ad- mo
jacent districts, and White Sulphur
a Springs. Mr. Glassman, who is pretty
well informed upon mines and mining as
t matters, went to the camp for the pur- gla
pose of collecting information and sam- ins
ples of ore from the different mines to tio
send to Salt Lake City, where he is in- ins
terested in a smelter. He found his task
a herculean one, and after collecting sev- ins
eral hundred pounds of samples, gave up sal
the task. lie says that Neihart will as- de
tonish the world, as soon as the mines are of
developed. The formation is similar to po
that of Leadville, and he predicts that
Neihart will outrival that famous camp
in every point within the next few years. wl
e Judge E. E. Bywater, of Sand Coulee, on
one of the pioneer farmers of Montana, pil
whoimade farming a business from '65 to in
a SO, says there is no question but that tat
Montana will eventually rank as one of
the grain-particularly wheat-producing
States of the northwest. Hle says in '65 ink
it was necessary to irrigate three times ha
o during the season, and the rainfall gradu- nit
ally increased until in 1880 it was only he
Ii necessary to irrigate once, and since that Sol
date, has found the rainfall sufficient to in(
d produce the finest of vegetables, and what lV,
y little grain lie required for his fowls and plc
stock. Hle is contident that irrigation ci.
will shortly, if not at present, be found the
11 wholly unnecessary. Mr. Bywater is also be
a firm believer that eventually the bench wl
1nlands will prove to be the best grain pro ne
us ducers, and we are willing to back his wI
opinion against all the theorists in the Ye
I. country. oi
'lThe following from an exchange is as gr
applicable here as elsewhere, and applies Sa
1- with equal force to mining investments. Sa
r- I thing promotes prosperity like harm- be
ony: "Show me a town that is eternally m'
. torn up with 'lissensions, spites and jeal- er
if
m ousies and we will show you a town on
1, the verge of decay. No town can or will th
e awtmont to anything where these things
-exst. Unity is prosperity and growth; at
dissension and division demoralizes and Il
w ruins. When a stranger comes to town
at
n-and find the community pulling in oppo th
3. site directions the next day generally sees 1)1
him t beyond its reach. Nothing is made
tv by dividing a town, but everything is lost.
There are thousands of examples of this
re
tiroughout the west. The way for every
bi town to do that desires growth and pros
perity is for every property holder to in
vite capital to town irrespective of its
l particular locality. A good residence, a cr
block of buildings or other improvement, ki
is a benetit to the whole town, no matter 1
a where it is put." C

Great Falls is greatly interested in the
proposed navigation of the Missouri from
this point to Helena, and the latter place,
usually so wide awake, can not fail to ap
preciate the great benefit such an enter
prise would prove to her. It would in
fuse new life, of the most substantial na
ture, into both places. It would give
Helena what she is now practically with
out-cheap fuel. To Great Falls and the t
surrounding country it would prove of in
estimable value. It would be the means
of giving employment to hundreds of la
horers in the mines, and would bring liun
dreds of families to occupy and till the
surrounding large area of arable and pro
ductive land. It would be of a value
only secondary to a railroad for all north
ern Montana. It would place nearly all
the best agricultural sections in easy com
municatioi with the commercial center
of the territory, and would furnish cheap
transportation for all products thereto.
It would enhance three-fold every acre of
arable land along the Missouri river. Be
sides giving Helena access to the best
part of Montana, it settles forever her fuel
supply, which at the present is troubling
her not a little. We shall look to Helena
to move in this matter, and hope she will
give it early consideration, and not allow 1
the plum she now has within her reach 1
to be plucked by others less deserving.

nd placed no dependence in whatever,, be- wi

ch wheat best suited to this climate, for see'. wi
ro- aid tie.-eafter to exchange seed wheat in
iis w1ti sistaut neikhbors every two or three lei
he years so as not to allow the wheat to "run flo

as growers in Manitoba and Minnesota with so
the best results. It is probable that the Bi
its Saskatchewan Fife will prove to be the ra
best variety of wheat to grow in this cli- it
mate. It will be necessary for our farm- wi
al- ers to look after this matter immediately
on if they wish to gain the best results from be

at A rather amusing occurrence happened w
th; at the ferry last Sunday evening. A gen
und ileman rode up, and after gazing long ra
wn and attentively across the river, for some- le
po- time, was finally accused by the gruff but ed
ees l)easant Ed, the ferry-man, with the query:
ide "Do you want to cross to-night!" tr
The stranger, after studying a moment, a
his replied: al
ery "Well, I don't know whether I do or
in- not. What town is that?" F1
n- "Great Falls," replied Ed. r
its "Te,," replied the stranger, "I want to C
a cross, if it is Great Falls, but I did not k
it' know but that I had missed my way, and C
,ter that the town across there was New York l
City. Whew, but don't she grow! ci
A NEW IiOhSE DISEASE.
A seriously fatal malady is affecting
large numbers of horses in the upper Yel
lowstone valley, particularly on the Cas
cadia side of the river. A large number
of ranchmen and stock growers are hav
ng their herds decimated by the disease.
Its symptoms as described to the Enter
pjrse are: stiffness of the limbs at first, t
only noticeable when the animal attempts
to step over an obstruction; this is fol
lowed by difficulty of breathing; then by
an apparent thickening or sluggishness
of the blood until death ensues. Mr. S.
L. Ilollidav believes it to be a sort of con
gestion mostly affecting the lungs, and
looks upon it as much the same disease
as affected horses in that vicinity last
year. If any of our readers or exchanges
can more definitely diagnose the affection
or prescribe any probable remedy they
will confer a favor by communicating
their knowledge-Enterprise.
The Tcinune's representative, who re
cently visited the Deep creek and Chest
nut countries, reports a fatal malady, sim
ilar in some respects to the above, except
ing that the animal enjoys a hearty appe
tite up to the time death ensues, often
times eating a hearty feed just before dy
ing. The disease, of whatever type it is,
baffles the skill of the best veternarians.
Quite a number of horses have died from
the disease in the valleys, above men
tioned, and the horse raisers are alarmed
at its ravages.
A SINGULAR PILENOMENON.
At the mouth of Cottonwood creek in
Gentile valley, and about ten miles east
of Oxford, says the Blackfoot (Idaho)
Register, there are some half dozen warm
l springs. One of these has been used for
bathing purposes for many years by those
living in the vicinity, and also by pleas
ure seekers. It was about one hundred
feet in diameter and circular in form and
very deep, and the temperature of the
water made it delightful for bathing pur
poses. On Wednesday night last the
people living near it were startled by a
loud roaring noise like the rushing of a
huge body of water over a cataract, and
in the morning it was found that the bot
tom had dropped out of their bath tub.
All that remained of the spring was a
hole in the shape of a gigantic basin about
fifty feet deep and containing about four
feet of boiling water at the bottom.
ANOTHER MONTANA INDUSTRY.
The Enterpaise is authority for the fol
lowing: Charlie Shipman, a man of all
work at Walter Grannis' ranch up Shields
river, has made an interesting experiment
in garden culture this year. Last spring
he got some tobacco seed and, when it
was two or three weeks later in the season
than it need have been, got about 200
plants growing in good shape. Mr. Gran
nis says they have attained a most luxuri
ant growth and he thinks that fully 150
pounds of tobacco leaves will be gathered
from them.
CHURCH IN THE COULEE.
Editor of the TRUSUNE:
The people of Saud Coulee met last
Sabbath at 11 o'clock to hold their Sun
day school and to hear their little pastor
preach. We met with quite a surprise.
The little minister had two big ministers
with him. The little cabin we met in is

SMITH RIVER AND CHESTNUT.
ri Who and What the Tribune Man Saw
it in these Beautiful and Prolific
Sections.
te
d' Not the least among the arable lands of -
a northern Monthna are those lying in the
Smith river and Chestnut valleys. In
ar both of these valley are thousands of
m acres of land that are only awaiting for -
vi the farmer to come here and plow the
land and raise crops that cannot be beat
th in any country. There seems to be a gen
eral impression among our farmers that
they do not have time to do any fall plow- 01
in- ing. This is all wrong. It will pay them
he to take the time to do it, for there is not
vi- sufficient time for plowing and harrow
us ing grain in the spring. An experi
,o_ enced farmer in the Chestnut valley, andt
one who has for years experimented in
farming in northern Montana, told me
ng that he was oaten ableto sow his grain in
tp- the month of February, but this can not
te be done if the plowing is leat until spring.
ue This same gentleman told me that he
he had been very successful in raising his
ci ops without ii rigation and he speaks of
a number of years' experience and he has
Id- also told me that he considered the bench
ill lands even better than the bottom lands. ti
er- On a trip up the Missouri river to the ft
ill Smith river and Chestnut valleys I took ft
re- occasion to go over the proposed road to
no and from Great Falls to the Smith river P
ar- bridge, and so far as I could see it will
ve make a very practicable road, and in fact t1
be- will need but very little work done on it n
tin to make it a good road. There are no
!ill steep grades, antI loaded teams can travel
of 1it w~ihout the least trouble. This road
e W. ill be of great value to the farmers liv
et ing in the Smith river and Chestnut val
ree leys who have grain to bring to the new
un flouring mill at Great Falls.
eat The first ranch I stopped at on the Mis
ith souli river was that of I). F. Wilson &
the Bro. They have one of the finest stock
the ranches that I have ever seen. They have
ll- it so divided that they have summer and
im- winter grazing for their cattle.
ely The next and last ranch on the Missouri
om below Smith river is that of Jones & Ev
ans, who have a sheep and horse ranch.
I found these gentlemen making bay, of -
led which they have an abundant crop.
en- Mr. Robert Vanghn has a fine horse
lug ranch at the mouth of Sun river, where
1e- he raises some very fine horses and blood
but ed cattle.
ry: Smith river valley isa very fertile coun
try, and is peopled by a good class of
mit, farmers, whose homes are surrounded by
all the comforts of civilization.
> or While the bottom is not a very eaten
sive one, there are a number of fine
ranches on the river, particularly those of
t to C. F. I; ewster, -- Jordan, Win. Hlop
not kils, WmIl. Boston and Geo. Colby Mr.
it[di Colby has a most pictui es-ue .piace and
ork le has taken pains to fit it up in first
class shape.
Leas ing Smith ,v.4 evy )by way of hound
creek I entered Chestnut valley at Messrs
Reid & Burmeister's piace. These gen
tlemen have sheep and have also done a
good deal of farming, in which they have
been very successful. T
The Chestnut valley is quite thickly
settled and will always be one of the best -
feeders for Great Fulls. There are two
postoflices in the valley, one at Dr. James'
and the other at llidia.
Ulidia boasts of a general store, a sa
loon, restaurant and blacksmith shop. The
store is kept by Messrs. Dyas and Gor- E
ham, both very agreeable gentleman.
They are enjoying a good trade, and keep
in store almost everything that is needed
by ranchers.
While at Clidia it was my pleasure to
attend meetings, held by Reverend J. L.
Phenix, who is holding a series of reviv
als in the valley, and sowing the seed of n
righteousness in a good lan:l. n
A meeting of stockimen was held at the is'

NEIHAIRT NEWS.
NETIHART, M. T., Sept. 21, 1885. A
The Hudson company's smelter expects tl
to start up on the first of the coining c(
month, and will give employment to near
ly one hundred and fifty men. d;
Everybody is hopeful about the camp ai
and are daily expecting some develop- 11
meets to be made from the purchase o+
made by the syndicate. d
The "Uncle George" lode, owned by al
Professor Burkhardt, is showing up splen
didly, and is improving as they go down. i
The shaft is now over 150 deep. si
The Whippoorwill lode, jumped by
Charles Crawford, is being worked, but
there is no show in the world for Craw
ford to hold the claim whenever the right
ful owner desires to claim it.
Wm. Glassman, of Benton, made the
camp a visit last week, presumably to col- t<
lect samples of ore, but inasmuch as he g
is interested in a Salt Lake smelter, it is e
predicted that he was looking to see if it h
would likely pay him to remove his smelt- s,
er here. s1
I heard that Frank Coombs, of Benton, b
was here last week, but did not get to see h
him. Frank has a large interest in a num- n
her of valuable claims in the Snow creek A
district, which are bound to come to the h
front. ti
Neihart is beyond a doubt the making v
of the best camp in the world. Indica- o
tions point that way. Butte is not to be o
compared with Neihart and Barker, as 4
will be proven before long.
Great Falls is likely to be the supply t
and outfitting point for this camp. Here- 14
tofore everything has been thrown over r
on the other side of the range to White t
Sulphur, but owing to the almost impass- V
able condition of the road nine months v
in the year, leading from that point into s
the camp, it will necessarily be abandon
ed and Great Falls will reap the reward;
The road down Belt and through Sand
Coulee is even now above the average I

sheaves of oats by him and had evidently thi
been to his field to get a feed and was on m
'e his way back to his house. Who com- ca
° witted the murder is at present unknown. ýs
A small band of Indians were camped by I
me his garden Wednesday evening and it is
thought that possibly he had some trouble u
g with them about their taking vegetables
a or other things and that they killed him
' out of revenge. There are also other
a theories in regard to the case which will
be developed hereafter. The Indians
ly thought to be implicated in the murder
e- left the place yesterday morning. Trout- to
er wein was a promising young man about an
t twenty-two years old. His father, who is
working at Bennett's ranch near Stevens- h<

to sad affair.-Missoulian.

We learn of a disastrous prairie fire on
Box Elder, near Peal's ranch, which de
stroyed about 1000 acres of range. The
whole neighborhood turned out to fight
the flames, and after 12 hours of incessant
work succeeded in coutroling the element.
T'he fire was the work of a fire-bug, who
should be jerked higher than Gilroy's 1
kite, if apprehended.
C. C. Ray, representing the Husband
man, made us a pleas'nt call one day this
week. Mr. Ray reports business good in
his line.
An entertainment was given here last
Thursday by Prof. Wyman, the Wizard.
