GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.

TO THIE PUBLIC.
Until further notice Will Hanks will I
have entire control of the Daily and Semi
Weekly Tribune.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
After this issue the management of
the Great Falls Daily and Semi
Weekly TRIBUNE is assumed by Mr.
Jerry Collins, the present editor of
the Fort Benton River Press.
Since the establishment of the TRI
BUsr, a little over two years ago, as
an unpretentious weekly, it has ad- I
vanced steadily with the development a
of northern Montana and the rapid t
growth of the rising young city of
which it is the recognized champion.
It has become a strong, prosperous
enterprise, with a large steady circu- c
lation and a liberal amount of adver- L
tising patronage. a
I thank the many friends and pat
rons who have contributed so liberal
ly to the support of the enterprise.
To them is due, in a great measure,
the ample success attained by the
TRIBUNE financially as well as in in
fluence.
Mr. Collins has had long, success
ful experience in journalism, and will
be thoroughly identified with the 1
growth and prosperity of the city. I
trust, therefore, that the new manage
ment will receive the liberal support
and hearty co-operation which has i
been accorded in the past.
Again, I thank you all.
WILL HANKS.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
The outlook.for the mining indus
try is bright. The feverish excite
ment which followed the Leadville
discoveries has long since subsided
and given place to ordinary business
methods. The speculative stocks are
few and the number of shares on the
market is small compared with those
held by people who are in a position to a
retain them so long as they yield fair
dividends. The promoters of bogus c
enterprises, find their occupation gone
because the public look with distrust
on any enterprise whose shares can
not be placed without such danger
ous assistance. In general, gold and
silver mines are being developed like
those of coal and iron which are not t]
made the foot-ball of rival interests ti
in the stock exchanges.
While the relations of the mining
industry with the sources of capital s
are thus satisfactory, the outlook for d
fair returns is good. No strikes dis- Z
turb the great industrial army en
gaged in the developmentof the Mon- r
tana or other mines. The price of
maclnnery and raw material is still n
reasonable and railroad frieghts are d
more likely to decline than to advance. t
Congress will not be likely to disturb
the silver law on the eve of a presi- A
dential election so that miners will
enjoy a full year's security in that h
respect. These circumstances joined be
with the general growth of the coun
try and the extension of the railroads
render the outlook for the silver and
gold mining industry, very promising.
EXHIBIT.
to
In nearly all the great western cities at
there Will be this year state fairs or cc
exhibitions. Minnesota will make a M
grand' iiaplay of her own, and other g(
i ml . . -----.-· i ,. ill I
pr®ducttat -6e+ state fair, which is I
( held near St. P al. Minneapolis will I
re-open her exhibition, which will ex- I
eel in splendor, diversity and generil r
attractivenes , the display made last t
year. In Chicago, St. Louis and
Louisville, as well as in Boston and
0 New York there will also be indus
trial collections, which will be open
practically to all comers. Each of t
these fairs or exhibitions will be visit
ed by thousands of people, and the r
Lt press will contain long descriptions of p
r the varied products on view. More 1
r convincing than statistical tables will u
be the products themselves, for they c
will tell at a glance the merits of the
soil and climate which has produced
them. S
Montana should avail herself of t
these industrial displays to make ti
known the greatness of her mineral
wealth, the productiveness of her soil
e and the excellence of her sheep, horses rn
and other live stock. By so doing
this territory will attract public atten
tion and reap a rich harvest in the
large and small investors who will be
induced to come here.
Each city and county could provide i
exhibits that would make, unitedly, a d
grand display. Great Falls is prepar- d
ed to do her part. This city will con
tribute coal, iron ore and limestone ,
from Sand Coulee; sandstone from c(
dl the banks of the Missouri; wheat W
grown on the bench lands; brick made m
in our own yards and wool from sheep W
that range the neighboring hills. p
These articles with mineral specimens pt
from Neihart and Barker will con- of
s81
vince the public that northern Mon- bE
tana is the true field for the man of aF
enterprise.
THE NEW WHEAT BELT.
The article which we print to-day
in regard to bench lands and crops
will he read with interest by all* who
are concerned in the advancement of
Montana. It shows that the success
ful experiment which Mr. Paris Gib
son made when he planted
trees on the bench land has been
followed quickly by experiments on a
larger scale, which have demon
strated that wheat will grow luxuri
antly on those vast tracts, which be
cause of their formation are called
bench lands. The plants have now
attained such growth that a large
product may be expected. The stalks
are over three feet high and the ears
are large and well-formed.
The importance of this successful
experiment can hardly be over-esti
mated. It demonstrates the capacity
of the bench lands to produce abun
dant crops without irrigation and in
ordinary weather. As these lands
represent millions of square miles,
Montana may, in due time, assume
high rank among the wheat produc
ing regions. The culture of the cerea
will receive a stong impulse from the
influx of population and the establish
ment of mills, such as the Cataract
in this city, which is well equipped
and produces flour equal to Pills
bury's "Best."
STEADY PROGRESS.
The first half of the year is closing
at Great Falls with many brick blocks
in course of erection and lots for
stores and residences in demand.
Trade is brisk. The saw mills and
brick-yards are busy. Prominent
people are daily visitors and Secretary -
Nichols is busy answering inquiries
from people who desire to buy lots
or engage in business here. Good
reports come from the ranges, the
crops and the mines. Every interest
will profit by the approach of the lo
comotive, whose shrill whistle will be
heard here two months hence.
THE EXTRA SESSION. F
The Independent would like to hear a
very general expression of opinion from
the territorial press and thinking public on
the question of an extra session of the leg
islature.-Helena Independent.
By all means let there be an extra
session. Northern Moatana strongly
desires it. Some laws passed last ses
sion require immediate amendment.
There is also enough new busines to
render another session advantageous
to the people. If due preparation is
made the legislature will be able to
do a large amount of work in a short
time. Great Falls votes "aye."
THE GRADERS ARE now near Fort
Assinaboine. preparing the Manitoba
road for the tracklayers. So far they R
have been, at most, only three days
behind the schedule time. Such
precision in railroad building has
never been known.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND will visit the f'
northwest at a good time of the year
to form a fair impression of its varied
attractions. It would, be better if he e
could see the great wheat fields of hi
Minnesota and Dakota in all their w
golden splendor and the hills and
plains of Montana before the grass
becomes brown. In October however
he will be able to visit Great Falls by
railroad. This will make amends for
the drawbacks of the autumn season.
The Montana Central Ahead.
BUTTE, June 80.-The Inter JMownrdtin
says: "We commend to the attention of
the Northern Pacific officials the fact that
the Montana Central seems to have a clear
lead in the race to Butte. The line from
Helena to Great Falls is practically com
pleted, and from the end of the track to
the Falls the gap will soon be closed.
Then all the energy will be concentrated
upon that portion of the road between the
capital and Butte, and if the Northern
Pacific people fail to do some lively hustl
ing the big engines of the Montana Central
will be first to awaken the echoes in the
Summit valley. Freight is the magnet
that is attracting Hill's road in this direc
tion at such a rattling pace. The road
that gets here first will have a call on
most of the business of the biggest city in
the northwest."
The Inter Mountain also says: "The new
road is coming here on the jump, and will
arrive none too soon for its own and the
public interest.
Jumping Denounced.
There have been a few vacant lots
"jumped" and fenced in Deer Lodge with
in the past ten days. In other cases the
old owners showed a shotgun title in ad
dition to the probate court title, which was
deemed satisfactory in all cases. It is
hardly necessary to jump, or attempt to
jump, vacant lots here. It is dishonest
where the title vests in another, and it will
cost more if the owner resists it than it
would to buy the lot, even if the jumper
could establish a claim, which is by no
means settled. Then there are lot owners
who will not wait for legal process to eject
a jumper. Let this lot-jumping stop.
People who have purchased these lots and
paid taxes on them should not be robbed
of them under any pretense. Ejectment
suits should be begun wherever a lot has
been jumped. Good public sentiment is
against jumping. We trust it has ceased.
-The New Northwest.
