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

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.

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

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

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.
