Washington special: In an interview this evening, Gov. Hauser said he had th while in New York, consummated all ar- ti rangements for the prosecution of work on the contemplated branches of the North ern Pacific road which he is to build in ol Montana. The Boulder Valley road will o0 be pushed through to Butte; the Philips- C burg, Bitter Root Valley and Helena & al Northern branches will all be built during the year, and several others are under con templation, including one to Red Bluffs, s arrangements for which will probably be consummated before he returns to Mon ana. Starving Cattle. f( There is now snow all the way from S here to Kuna. On Reynolds creek it is b deeper than ever known before, being in o places as high as the tops of the fences. 0: Cattle are drived to the foothills and can- n yons and, in many instances, are so poor ji that it is with dilfficulty that they get out b of the way of stages. There being but a little feed, the losses to stockmen will be tl very heavy this winter, many of whom, it ti is feared, will be next to ruined financial- 7 ly. Should cold weather now come, nearly all the cattle will die. It is hoped, how ever, that we will now have mild weather and that the snow in the valleys will melt and vanish, as that is the only chance for stockmen to hold their own.--Idaho Aoalanch. The Inter-State Law. t Minneapolis Tribune: Commissioner t Albert Fink is out in a two column let- I ter explaining the long and short of the I Inter-State Commerce law. As was to be expected his letter is the outline of an in- I genious plan by which the railways can I avoid the operation of the clause. Mr. Fink says in substance, that if a railroad be in competition at a certain point 100 1 miles away, with a water route, it should not be forced to carry freight to a point 50 1 miles where there was no competition, as I cheaply for 100 miles where it encountered i the the competition of the water way. This is the same threadbare old story, I that a railroad shall take freight at losing rates to a competitive point, and squeeze I the difference out of local rates. One of t these fine days men of common sense will ask why the railroads try to compete for business which it ruins them to haul. A New Scheme. The ever active Marquis de Mores has a scheme to own and control all the re tail bntcher shops of New York city, and furnish them with frozen meat direct from the range. This is a big scheme and re quires capital and incessant work. The dressed beef men of Chicago are not alarmed over the announcement, as they characterize the Marquis as full of *'lig ideas," and argue that the failure of the Medora plant is a sample of his enterprise. The supply and control of the retail shops in the large cities without the intervention of middlemen is coming, and whether the present scheme of the Marquis succeeds 1 or not it is sure to come, and there is no inherent impossibility in the matter, as it now stands in the hands of the Marquis. Capital, energy and honest intention are only necessary. We believe in the honesty of the Marquis, and that he will succeed if he runs his own shops, whetjher he buys them or not.-Stoekgrowers Journal. Spanish Bravado. The other day the Spanish Minister at 'VWashington declared that unless negotia tions for carrying out a reciprocity treaty between Spain and the United States ashould reach a favorable result by March st, he would favor coercion and reprisals.

EF'Y M.A.N'S INTEREST Not.wishing to carry over until next season any wvintar goods, I will sell what I now have on hand at prices thit will pay every per son to buy for next winter, the goods I am of~ering, which are: Overcoats, l1oves, Blalnkets and Fur Caps. Harris, poe lthoier. Fur Caps Gloves thing to have that thing started by Spain. S It would possibly have the effect to wake the American people up to the fact that in the position they are in, they are perpet- to ually exposed to the bullying of either 1I of a dozen of petty powers. The si final ;esult might be a change in the map e: of the United States, which would include tl Cuba. We are paying Cuba annually a about $35,000,000 for sugar. A war that tl would take the island in would not cost C4 more than we pay every two years for it sweets. With that acco .plished. we would never need any mo- commerc;al treaties with spain. F,' en years Spain has had one set of . - Saws in for England and another for tne United a States, and this has been solely becau. hehe t believed we were not prepared to assert e our rights on the ocean, If she would 1 only begin the reprisal and coercio,, busi- p ness the matter would be very swiftly ad justed. But is it not pitable to see a once c brave nation so reduced that her people ti are not content to swallow the lees from I the cup of her former glory and to think i they are quaffing pure vinue?--Sa~t Loke Tribuise. The Trade is Extinct. c It was not more than five years ago that b buffalo robes by the hundreds of thous ands were shipped from these northwes- P tern territories to eastern firms. They ca ne from Montana, Wyoming, Dakota C and parts of Colorado. Buffalo meat was i the standard diet during the winter in this locality and the hump of a young a buff was pretty fair eating. Now the 5 buffalo is almost extinct in the United States. There are a few in the National - Park and Colorado has a bunch, but never more will the hotel waiter ding in your ears "buffalo steak." A Chicago firm which formerly did a big business in hand ling buffalo hides has not received a single n skin this season. Last year the firm hand- tJ led about 1,000 hides and the year be:ore a that 100,000. The skins are now worth v about $30 apiece, and the fortunate owner H of a fine buffalo coat will in a few years e be more envied than were it seal skin. G Since the trade in buffalo skins and robes a has died out out other materials have taken their places, especially in the line of carriage robes an:l the manufacture of - overcoats. It is said that the hides of young range cattle are now being tanned in a manner similar to that which the buf falo robes underwent and that coats and wraps made from a range animal of two e years and a solid color can scarcely be t distinguished from the glossy buffalo calf robe with which many of us are familiar. N The wholesale slaughter of the countless herds of buffalo which were wont to range in the northwest has rendered a living a specimen a natural curiosity.- Yellow stone Joarrnl. e Foreign Flashes.

Society in the Far Northwest Forty Years Ago. The Hudson Bay company had just es tablishedl a trading post at Fort Rupert in 1843, when there appeared ih the harbor sixteen war canoes, whose occupants were exceedingly happy. Victory had crowned their efforts against their enemies, and sweet content sat on every barbaric face there present. INot that the white new comers had ever heard of war, nor joined in the shout of victory, but the American way was a trifle different from the Euro pean way. That was all; but it was enough to shock the sensitiveness of those unac customed to sylvan slaughter. Ffor instance after landing and setting on each of six teen poles one human head, taken from each canoe as a specimen, the warrors first ti learned that their isle was honored by the t presence of a white woman (Mrs. Muir,) tt to whom it was their custom to show courtesy. There was nothing mean about them. Inviting Mrs. 'Muir to their ghast- - ly display, they begged of her to accept her choice of any two. Where could be found in~any primeval center of civiliz- E ation such delicate attention, such marked consideration toward a female visitor from savageism? Their latest, best, most high ly prized possessions-the trophy of their priceless success, they freely offered. Douhtless the simple hearted warriors, ac customed only to the restricted killing of t< their foes, would have been overwhelm- t ingly shocked on witnessing the slaugh tered thousands of a European battlefield as was Mrs. Muir on beholding the poor sixteen trophies of aboriginal powess. l;:nrjroft's Ilistory of British Col,,nbis. h ________________a: Notice of Final Entry. land Officee at HLtena Mont.
