SATURDAY, JAN. 8, 1887.
THE house has passed a bill creating a
national department of agriculture and
labor.
JOHN ROACSH, the great ship builder has g
seiled away beyond the horizon into the
Great Unknown.
THE Mikado was successfully rendered n
by the Helena Encore Club at Helena, 3
last Tuosday evening. L
BEER drinkers in New York City alone a
pay about $77,(X0,000 annually for their a
indulgence i'n that beverage.
THE Butte Itder-Jfotetaiu has issued a
holiday edition which reflects credit upon tl
its publishers and the territory at large.
THE reunion of Pennsylvanians which el
took place at Helena last Monday night at
was largely attended and proved a great ce
success. a(
THE new mlillionlaire senator TV. M.
Stewart of Nevada is said to have come
menced life in the west driving mules. lHe
has been senator one term before and lost l
and regained immense fortunes since that
time. cc
THE building of the bridge and laying ac
the Montana Central rails early this spring er
will make Great Falls a scene of great ac
tivity. More than a dozen brick or stone
buildings have been contracted for and are
to be comlitleted by August 1st. to,
FROas all that can be learned the sheep (
in this section have done remarkably well i
during the late storms. To range them I
has required a liberal use of the snow t
plow. All of the sheepmen have been at f
work faithfully, and so far there have been c
no serious losses.-Ricer Press. s
I
THE Manitoba right of way bill has s
been reported back to the senate by sena
tor Dawes for amendment. The whole
matter will be reported batck to the house
f )r concurrence, thereby causing some de
lay in its final passage. It will become a tl
law just the same before long. h
THERE are three prisoners in the county b
jail at Benton, awaiting the action of the
grand jury. They will serve out long
terms before trial if they don't get a chance
to appear at the bar of justice pretty soon. is
One has been incarcerated since May.
another since June and a third was caged c
in September. e
GOVERo()R HAUSER's message was read f
in joint session of the legislature last Wed- T
nesday. He gives a resume of the great c
resources of the territory, criticizes the re- 9
striction ant and the timber laws, and la
shows the tereitory to have no bonded in ce
debtedness and a balance in the treasury
of $57,000. D
MRs. LoCAN's picture adorns the first
page of last week's Frank Leslie. The
picture, which seems to be an excellent
one, portrays a very strong, handsome, al
most masculine face and head. After
looking at this likeness of Mrs. Logan no ci
.one can wonder that she has attained such
sgreat fame. That face would look out of as
place in the humble walks of life. She
has every appearance of one born for ex
alted station. The devotion and sympa
thy which existed between General and
Mrs. Logan is the most beautiful feature bt
of their illustrious careers. Without seek- fe
ing personal notoriety she was yet a tow
er of strength to her husband. And will
not be lost sight of in the history of the
great man, whose success she was so in
strumental in accomplishing.

GLAD TIDINGS. w
The Chicogo Timesof a late date says
that the Northern.Pacificand the Union
Pacific, under their pooling arrangement,
have agreed to haul rails for the Manitobi~ la
antthe·MontanaOentralf~io ft, Paul-or
Omaha to counon points 9 n Montana at
S. pertoea. This is the rate asked by the f
3ki al I..t spring when the° Northern
. die ddemainnded $.3 per ton. If this te
prove true it is probable that track laying
on Montana Central divisions in the neigh- Icc
borhood of Helena will begin early in the fc
spring.
A telegram received by Mr. Gibson on at
Thursday, states that this arrangement has C:
been effected. The importance of this
event to Great Falls cannot be over esti- b
mated. The Montana Central will com
mence shipping rails at once and it is high
as. ly probable that this town will be connect
p._ ed with Helena by bands of steel before
the first of next August. This will make
Groat Falls the terminus of the Montana
Central for some time as the road will be w
.X built from here to Benton instead of from tL
Benton here as was contemplated in for
1) mer arrangements. Thus Great Falls will al
derive the benefits of being the base of all Li
pa these extensive operations which will be
carried on next year. It assures us lively Ii
times for next year. The Montana Central in
is all graded tunneled and nearly bridged
ready for the rails which will be laid as
soon as spring opens.
THE INDIAN COMMISSION.
nd The Indian Commission now at work in si
Northern Montana, is composed of three
as gentlemen, Messrs. Wright, Larabee and in
he Daniels.
J. V. Wright, the eldest member of the IR
commission is from Tennessee and was a
ed member of congress from that state when th
la. Minnesota and Oregon were admitted to F]
Union.
Major Larabee was in Montana as early
as 1870, when an otfficer of the 7th Infan
try, and marched with it from Corinne to
Northern 'Montana.
a Mr. Daniels is a Minnesota man and pc
n thoroughly conversant with Indian affairs. an
They are all well fitted for the import
ant mission in which they are now engag- me
h ed. The work which they have already ge
ht accomplished in Minnesota and Montana
at contemplates the restoration of 25,000,000
acres of land to the public domain, most
of which.is in Montana. The treaties, be
side the concession as to land provides
that the remaining reservations shall ad
mit railroad, telegraph and telephone ,t
lines, and all public highways, whenever pe
congress shall see fit to grant the right to 1
applicants. They also contemplate the ha
acceptance by the Indians, of land in sev- B
eralty. w
The Sheep Business.
Thomas Barry, the sheep man, is in h
town preparing to start for Oregon tomor- 2
row. He says the sheep in the panhandle -
of Gallatin are in good condition and do
I lug well. His own sheep are onthe range
1 but most sheep men are feeding to some
extent. Mr. Barry predicts a great future
t for the sheep industry in Yellowstone
county, and says he knows of over 100,000
sheep that will be brought in next spring.
He knows of no other business that pays
so well on the investment.-Billings Ga
zette. Ii
Rough on Settlers.
The following Washington special to
the Pioneer Pre.ss goes to show that Sparks
has not receded any from his determina
tion to keep the government lands from ho
being occupied as the government has C
provided:
Commissioner Sparks, of the general th
land effice, has issued a new order to reg- de
isters, in which he directs them to not re
ceive entries under the homestead, pr M
emption or timber culture acts from any a
person not personally known by him and of
fully identified by some responsible party.
The effect of this order will be to entirely t
close the public lands to entry by eilf~
grants who have no friends within the
land district in which they desire to lo
cate.
An amusing episode occurred in Judge
Didawick's courtthe other day. The case
that was being tried was a Timberline I
ejectment case. On the part of the de- bu
fense was one of Bozeman's brightest
young barristers, who, while addressing
the jury, somewhat plainly insinuated that ov
the opposing counsel,--a heavy-weight dis- Du
ciple of Blackstone--was a fulsome fabri- D
cator of fibs.. This, of course, could be He
answered effectually only in one way and p
that was "from the shoulder;" and so, Chi
without the least ceremony, the insulted Fi
party-landed his ten pound duke on the
mug of his antagonist-Marquis of Queens- L
bury rules and sent him sprawling at the Re
feet of the jury. The judge appeared to
be the least disconcerted, for it is reported
that he remarked hei would enteitain a
motion to adjourn in order to give the le- 'C
gHl luminaries an opportunity to fight t Na
out. But the parties seemed to be satisfied
with present results, and so contributed
five dollars each toward the schoOl fund cm
