GREAT FALLS is located at the Falls of the Missouri which furnish the greatest available water power on the Con
tinent. Is within 7 miles of the most extensive Coal and Iron district in the West, immediately beyond which are
rich Silver and Copper districts. It lays tributary the best agricultural and grazing part of the Territory, and the
pineries of the Upper Missouri and tributaries. It has made more progress in the past 8 months in proportion to its size
than any other place in Montana, and is especially adapted by its natural resources and geographical position to become
the leading manufacturing center between Minneapolis and the Pacific.
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 picturesque scenery.
To those wishing to improve property, lots will be sold at very reasonable prices. Fcr pariicu!ars address, H. O. CHOWEN, AGENT.

TALL ABOUT SHORT-HAND.
N. Y. Telegraph: Phono raphy is
by far the best and most used of any c
other forms of stenography. Isaac
Pitman of England, is its real found- r
or, and all modern methods of pho
nography owe their existence to him,. f
the leading principles all being copi- ,
ed from him. Some of the so-called I
independent systems that have arisen n
since Mr. Pitman's inventions are im- i
provements in matters of detail over bh
their original. There is, of course,
great rivalry between them, and much
'"mine is superior to yours" talk.
Nearly all of them are worthy pro
ductions, and it is difiicult to choose I
between them. Any one of them n
learned thoroughly will will a hand- fi
some income, which is the main de- 0
siratum. i!
Salaries range from $10 per week, n
received by beginners and third-rate t
stenogralphers, all the way up to $25.
000 a year, which is the suna earned \
by Dennis F. Murphy, oflicial stenog- tl
rapher of the United States senate, tI
which is probably as much as any h
short-hander in this country can well t
make. James E. Mun.on, oflicial sten si
ographer of the New York Superior I
.Co:urt. is paid a salnry of '7.000 per ti
year, and he unquestionably receives t:
as much from the revenues derived
from the sale of his publications and b
from his work outside the court room. h
Twenty-five dollars a week is good ci
pay for the young amanuenses in rail- v
road, insurance and other offices, many ti
earning much more. b
A first-class law reporter employed i
by lawyers wishing special reports of I
cases can make as high as $7,000 and j
.S8,000 per annum. The usual amount
paid a short-hand reporter for a ser- a
mon, lecture or other public meeting
ranges between $10 and $20. An ofli
cial stenographer is assigned to each
of the various courts of the city, and
are paid $2,500, and they make twice I
that at least by furnishing the reports v
to lawyers and other routine work. c
Men stenographers receive much
higher pay than women, though some
women are to be found who earn as a
high as $5,000 and $6,000 a year, and
one or two in New York City perhaps (
more.
As to the speed possible to be at
tained in short-hand, it of course de- a
pends wholly upon the writer's skill. I
Dennis F. Murphy can roll of two C
hundred werds and more per minute, n
and Thomas Reed of London, who
enjoyed the exciting diversion of re
porting Dr. Phillips Brooks during
the latter's recent visit to England,
"got there" to the tune of 213 words a
a minute, and never lost a word. A
speed of 180 words per minute, sus
tained throughout a whole evening,
perhaps is not unusual, and a stenog
rapher who aspires to a leading place
in his profession must be able to run
up as that and think nothing of it,
though the average rate of gpublic
speaking seldom exceeds 150 words
always excepting Dr. Brooks, of Bos
ton, who is a terror to the verbatim
reporters.
COMSTOCK JOURNALISM.
Carson Appeal: A fierce war has
broken out between the Enterprise
and Chronicle. It runs something
like this:
Last evening a small boy was run
over at the corner of B and Union
streets, and sriously injured on the
left ankle.--Chonicle.
To this the Enterprise of the next
morning responds:
The item in last evening's Chronicle
relative to a boy being run over, is the
baldest tissue of falsehood ever in
vented. The boy was not run over at
the corner at all, as alleged, but two
doors below near Banduzel's bakery.
It was the knee, and not the ankle
which was hutrt, and instead of being
a small he is almost big enough to
work in the mines.
The Chronicle comes back as fol
lows:
The assertion that a boy was run
over near Banduzel's bakery is refuted
by a card of the baker in another col
umn. The ankle was hurt, as shown
to the reporter last evening. The as
sertion that the boy is big enough to
work in the mines is quite significant.
Anybody knows that the Enterprise
has always been in favor of filling the
mines with kids, to the exclusion of
miners with families. The Miners'
Union had better interview the paper
at once.
The Enterprise comes back at once
as follows:
The drunken lunatics who misman
age the Chror :cle in the absence of
the regular editor, are trying to drag
the Enterprise into a war with the
bake shops of this State. The dirty
loafers know that we always have
been their friend, etc.
The Chronicle staff then hold a
cabinet meeting and reply:
The Enterprise, this morning, in
reference to the industrious and hon
est bakers of this city, says: "The
dirty loafers know we have been their
friend." Alluding to the bakers as
"dirty loafers" is what might be ex
pected from a sheet whose only hu
morist had resigned in disgust long
ago to make room for a man who es
caped from. the lunatic asylum and
has never been recaptured.
FEASR OF AN NDI)IA WAR.
A Montreal telegram says: Father
Lacombe. the Roman Catholic mis
sionary to the Blackfeet, arrived here
from the Northwest yesterday. The
object of his visit is to impress upon
the government the necessity of im
mediately dispatching a strong mili
tary force to the Blood Indian reserve.
These brav(s. h, says, when he left
were very turbulent, and might take
the war path at any moment. Should
they rise they would undoubtely
have the hearty support of powerful
tribes in the United States. Were
such an alliance made and an Indian
jwar begun. the Blackfeet and other
tribes to o the North would certainly
takes part. and a war in comparison
with which the recent troubles would
be but a drop in the bucket would
have to be waged before the Indians I
could be subdued. All the tribes are
vowing vengence for the hanging of
the Indian murderers of the Rid1 re
bellion, and say they are prepared to
fight the whites to the bitter end.
Being asked if the half-breeds would -
join in such a war, Father Lacombe
said he believed Gabriel Dumont was
at this moment plotting another re
bellion, and endeavoring to incite the
half-breeds of Montana to assist their
Canadian compatriots.
The council of the Northwest
Territories propose to tax lawyers
who come from other portions of the
country $250
