Cil €n 1 mni,sf. MONTANA LIVINGSTON. WEIGH: & HEBDJY, - Publishers. SATURDAY. JANUARY ö. 1885. Entered at the poctofllce in Livingston, M. T. as gDCoud-class in ail matter. Secretary Teller asks congress to ap propriate $40,000 for the improvement and protection of the National Park. Volume 1, No. 2 of tli<* Montana \\ bol Grower, published by L. V. Peck, I ort lienton, is on our table, well filled with information regarding sheep husbandry. The West Shore enters its eleventh volume with the January number, 18t>0. Its history has been one ol steady pro gress, and it is destined to occupy a high rank in journalism for years to come. We have just received the initial lium ber of the San Jose (Cal.) Times-Mer cury. If the standard of that journal is maintained to correspond with the copy which we have received, it will certainly do credit to that city, which is situated in one of the loveliest valleys of the Pacific coast. Alderson this week endeavors, in his weak and disjointed manner, to con vince his readers that he is a careful student of the bible. If he would show by hjs political actions that he has ever profited by the perusal of the precepts contained in that book it would be much more to the purpose, and would doubt less have obviated the necessity of so much w hining on his part over the re sult of the special election. Tue Spanish authorities arc so anxious l'or the adoption of the Spanish Treaty by congress that they have signified a willingness to modify the treaty as it is now' proposed, but the concessions agreed to are of so trilling a nature that they will not satisfy the demands of those interested in opposing its adop tion. It is hardly probable that the treaty will be consummated at this ses sion of congress. The house committee on coinage, weights and measures, will consider Buckner's bill to stop the coinage of siver dollars shortly after the re-assem bling of congress. Bland, the chairman of the committee, who was detained at home by illness, has returned to the city. He says lie will oppose the Buckner bill, and favor a measure providing for the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold The London Times, in commenting on the proposed Nicaragua treaty, admits that the treaty should be judged in America w ithout reference to English interests, but England, it says, holds a position of almost impregnable strength, and will protest against a policy which violates the rights covered by the Clay* ton-Bul wer treaty. It believes the bet ter class of Americans will not favor the scheme, but thinks it rash to predict the result in Congress. It is England's duty, the Times declares, to preserve the freedom of international trade. Members of the senate committee on public lands express the opinion that the house bill to prohibit the fencing of public lands will be reported back favor ably to the senate with amendments, soon after congress reconvenes. The house bill makes it lawful for any citi zen or settler to remove such fences at will, This, in the opinion of memoers of the senate committee, does not go far enough, since few settlers would be willing to incur the powerful enmity of cattle men and. cowboys. It has been proposed to amend the lull by re-enact ing an old law on the subject requiring the removal of fences to be done by the United States marshal and military when their services are required. During the past year Vanderbilt has lost $41,000,000 by the shrinkage of stock, while Jay Gould has lost $41, 000,000 in the same way. The value of the Central Pacific, has gone down $21. 000,000; the Erie railroad depreciated $10,200,000 in value; the Northern Pa cific is worth $17,500,000 loss than year ago, while the West Shore has depreciated S15,500,000. The number of failures is greatly in excess of former years, involving the loss of more capital and more laborers and mechanics are out of employment than ever before This is not a pleasing record for repub licans to contemplate, especially as it marks the last year of republican ad ministration as most disasterous to the interests of the country. Senator Pendleton has favorably re ported from the Foreign Affairs com mittee a bill introduced by him to repay China the remainder of the Chinese in demnity fund now in possession of the state department. In its report the committee said the amount paid by China was largely in excess of all just demands against that country, and every administration since this fact was ascer tained has earnestly recommended the repayment of that excess. The commit tee concurs in this view, and says it be lieves the wisest policy on the part of this government is to deal w'ith Irans parent justice and even liberality in its intercourse with all nations, especially those of another race and civilization. A Blow at the Britons. The House Committee on Public Lanns is framing a bill désignai to pre vent the continuance of the monopoly of the Western cattle ranges by British landlords. The bill will provide that if foreigners want to own big tracts of land in this country they must renounce allegiance to their own country and be come American subjects. The report to lie made on the subject of foreign land holding in this country will give inter esting statistic*. There are over 7,000,* to in of by an um a this wall will this iron stock all area acres! whole T. 000 of acres owned by Englishmen in Texas, nearly as much in New Mexico and Colorado, and a million acres in Kansas. Complaints come from Colo ap bol ort with 18t>0. pro high lium the will is his con show ever much doubt so re a it is that of adop the ses of at city. for both rado of the high-handed conduct on the part of the English ranchmen. They are said to have ordered their cowboys to shoot any Indian seen off the reserva tions for the reason that some Indians are cattle-thieves. The senate committee on Indian af fairs will begin the investigation into Indian leases January 7th. The gener ally expressed opinion is that it will re sult in the whitewashing of the whole subject. It seems to be a very difficult thing to prove that congressmen and senators are interested in these leases, although there are strongly suspected cases. Mr. Dyer, agent for the Arrapa hoes and Cheyennes of the Indian Ter ritory, who was before the senate com mittee on Indian affairs recently, made a statement in regard to the leases of In dlan lands for grazing purposes—a sub ject now under investigation by that committee. Mr. Dyer upheld the secre tary of the interior and the Indian com missioner in their policy of approving these leases. He maintained that the leases were m^de in a proper and legiti mate manner, and said though the price paid was only two cents an acre, it was more than the Indians would get in any other way, and that they have more land left than thev need outside of the leases. TUE WORLD'S EXPOSITION. on in a bet the on the of The citi at go be of the of of of A RAPID JOU l'.NEY—TIIE CRESCENT CITY —THE EXPOSITION—ITS BUILDINGS AND TIIEIR VASTNESS—TIIE EXHIBITS —OPENING DAY—A M ORD TO VISIT ORS. (From our own Correspondent.) New Orleans, Dec. 20,1884. Night at the great St. Louis depot; a score of trains making ready for their long journeys; trucks rumbling, bells clanging, children screaming and be wildered passengers plying patient offi cers with countless inquiries. In the midst of the babel your correspondent boarded No. 8, Cairo Short Line, which backed through the dismal tunnel, un der the great city, over the big bridge, and, heading southward, over the low lands of Illinois, drew up at Cairo in the midst of rain and darkness, and was trestled and ferried over the turbulent Ohio. Hurrying on across western Kentucky and Tennessee, Memphis to the right and historic Corinth to the left of us; down through the naked cotton fields of Mississippi, picturesque with negro cabins and cottage homes, and into Lou isiana, the sugar-bowl state, in the gray dawn of the third day of a total journey of thirteen hundred miles, we neared the Queen City of the South. Through misty lowlands, studded with cypress and pine, and great live oaks, bearded and festooned with clinging moss, standing like priestly sentinels guarding the gateways of our Mecca, and over trestled waterways, we land at last, welcomed by the golden smiles of the orange peeping out from the green foli age of a thousand city homes. New Orleans! Founded by Bienville, named for the Regent of France, in 1718; five years later described by the traveler Charlevioux as a place of one hundred cabins; now teeming with a busy throng of 250,000 people; a thou sand sail from every clime crowding her levee; a polyglot city, speaking all civil ized tongues; located within a great curve of the greatest of rivers, and spread over a plain of forty square miles—the "Crescent City." In the far off years the Mecca of the happy flat boatman, slowly bearing his rude gifts to her doors; to-day the Union and the nations, in palatial steamer and car, are sending the choicest products of art, of pencil and brush, of factory, mine and held, to the vast temples of the World's Exposition, built to receive them in the beautiful metropolis. But, leaving mention of her many objects of interest to future letters, her streets, statues, markets, commerce, etc., let us hasten to the Exposition grounds, to see and relate the situation of tv hat the whole world is talking about. The World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, originated by the National Cotton Planters' Association in 1882, and sustained by a financial fund of over two millions of dollars, is located in the Park, about five miles west-southwest of the business centre of the city, near the river, the grounds embracing about 250 acres, ornamented with liveoak and shrubbery, traversed by broad shell and gravel walks. The Main Building, chiefly of wood, covers an area of 33 acres; is about one-third larger than that of the Centennial at Philadelphia, aud encloses an area more than double that of the ancient Collise um at Rome; it is a quarter of a milej long and about one-fifth of a mile in width, all under one continuous roof supported by many hundreds of pillars. Running entirely around the interior is a broad gallery twenty-three feet high, reached by elevators and grand stair ways. Music llall, with a seating ca pacity of 11,000, occupies the center of this building, with a raised platform to accommodate 600 people. Put yourself then, in the center of a field of 33 acres, wall it in, roof and pillar it, and you will get a clear idea of the vastness of this structure, the largest building ever erected, and is devoted to general ex hibits. Some distance from the Main is the Government Building, 885x565 feet; Horticultural Hall, 600x194 feet; Art Gallery, 250x100 feet, the latter built of iron and fire-proof. Then come the buildings for factories and mills, live stock stables, a great fountain, etc.; and all on a most gigantic scale, the total area under roof being seventy-five acres! Picture the scene when the whole is lighted by fifteen thousand electric lights, and when the exhibits, including every conceivablearticle^roml of in in of a and was ing the the trial in in a lady's hair pin to a six hundred horse power engine, are all in place and ready for exhibition! Hut what of the exhibits? While many are nearing completion, scarcely af re the a be the in of a nuafcmd. one is entirely ready for full inspection or intelligent study. The floors are yet littered with unopened packages, and hundreds, which have lieen for days at the docks and depots in the city, have not yet reached the grounds, partly be cause of unequal transportation facili ties, but largely owing to misdirection, and thousands of exhibits, on their M ay hither, have not yet arrived, hundreds of carloads having been reported in blockade at Cincinnati a few days ago. While many foreign exhibits have ar rival, the Great Eastern is yet on the ocean, loaded M ith thousands of pack ages from European countries. The Commissioners from Great Britain, France, Spain, Germany, Japan, China, Arabia, etc., are here and hastening for ward their respective departments. Mexico is completing a great iron build ing for the separate use of that Repub lic, while forty states and territories have their agents hard at M'ork putting their displays -in order. Those of the latter and of the younger states, includ ing Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Da kota, Montana, Colorado, Idaho. Nebras ka, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, etc., will fully sustain their reputations and at tract much attention from capitalists and others, while their elder sisters, Illi nois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Missis sippi. Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, the Carolinas, Massachusetts, Maine and Texas, the far off New England States, in short, the entire sisterhood will com pete in generous rivalry with rich and varied contributions, to all of which special attention will he given when fully ready for inspection. But because there is delay and apparently much con fusion at the opening, let no one sup pose for a moment that there is not an abundance to be seen already—enough to entertain all visitors. A thousand objects are open for Inspection in city and Exposition, which is really no fur ther behind at the opening than M as the great Centennial at Philadelphia, M'hich M as not in full running order for forty days after the first u'heel was started. Rome M as not built in a day, and a work of such vast magnitude as this almost baffles the best talent of the country to handle it, and where ten thousand exhibitors are to bo located and their wishes consulted, much delay and much grumbling must be inevita ble; but in less than thirty days the grandest exhibit ever made of human skill and modern civilization will be fully open here for the inspection of the wo/ld, The formal and official opening of the Exposition on the 16th inst. was inter esting, picturesque and highly credita ble to the management. The weather M as fine; all the public and thousands of private houses and business blocks were decorated M'ith the flags and ban ners of all nations, the star-spanglal banner being everywhere conspicuous. Sectional spirit and political differences M ere lost in one universal outburst of national and patriotic pride and rejoic ing. The shipping in the harbor vied with the factory, the mill and the citi zen on land in display of bunting, and grim M ar ships belched forth welcoming salutes to the great event of industry, peace and universal brotherhood. At an early hour, Gov. McEnery, at tendal by the Washington Artillery and other military escorts, including the Eighth Cavalry Mexican Band, M'ith Cabinet officers, Secretary Teller and Postmaster General Hatton, Gov. Golds worthy, of British Honduras, and scores of other dignitaries, local and foreign, left the St. Charles Hotel, and, proceed ing to the levee, boardal the steamer Blanks, w hich speedily landal them in front of the Exposition grounds, whence they marchai to Music Hall in the Main Building, where 10,000 people waited to receive them, the hall being gaily trimmed with flags, and M'here in the presence of State, National and for eign commissioners, exhibitors and vis itors, the Exposition was formally open ed, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and other eminent lady commissioners being also on the platform. Rev. Dr. Talmage, of Brooklyn, open al the exercises with a most eloquent and patriotic prayer, in which he be seechol the blessing of the Almighty upon the Exposition, praying that it might result in the world's having more complete apparel, better food, better shelter; in spreading out the foldal sails of our paralyzed commerce, in enliven ing all the marts of industry, in the des truction of sectional discord; that it solve the agonizing question of supply and demand, till there be none hungry in a land of so much wheat, none cold in a land of so much cotton, wool and flax, and that "the clock may strike one to-day upon a neM' day of prosperity and righteousness and plenty." Major E. A. Burke, Director General, then proceeded, through repeated storms of applause, in a brief and oloquent ad dress, to hand over the great w'ork of himself and compeers to President Richardson, of the association, who read a brief address, turning over the Expo tion to President Arthur. This was im mediately telegraphed to Washington, and the President's congratulatory reply was instantly received, read and ap plauded, when touching a button clos ing the electric circle connecting with the lever of the great Corlyss engine, the President set the vast machinery in motion, and declared the World's Indus trial and Cotton Centennial Exposition open. Mayor Guillotte followed in an address of welcome to visitors and ex hibitors. Gov. McEnery read a lengthy address, giving a detailed history of the Exposition, portraying its results to come, eulogizing President Arthur, and fervid with words of good will to all A poem by Hw. Mary Ash or will Fine ley Townsend, celebrating the event, was read, aud congratulatory telegrams from Governors, Congress and Boards of Trade, at home and abroad. The proceedings throughout were enlivened by delicious music, patriotic and other airs, by Currier's great Military Baud of Cincinnati, and by the Eighth Caval ry Mexican Band, over fifty instruments in each, and the vast audience dispersal in the best of humor, pleased, proud and happy, that the grand affair had an opening so auspicious and imposing. Although this is but a preliminary letter, and chiefly intended for those who may be unable to attend the Expo sition, permit me to say to intending visitors that, all reports to the contrary, they can spend a month as economically here as in any other great city in the country. Y T ou can live "high" at the great hotels at $150 per month, or eco nomically and plainly from $5 to $10 per week in private apartments. Ex travagant prices are often askal, but you neal not pay them unless you can afford it. Go at once on your arrival to the office of the Exposition, 169 Gravier street, where you can learn, free of cost, all about accommodations. Having been located, go to the buildings, where Government, State and other exhibits will afford you abundance of entertain ment. To those w ho cannot come, I promise you in succeeding letters, as clear and complete reports of the Exposition and city as pen can make. We have had a norther here (luring the past week, the mercury falling to the freezing point Thursday night, ice forming a quarter of an inch thick, making overcoats, blankets and fires a necessity, but usually the weather is mild and bracing, and the health of the city is excellent, (From our Special Correspondent.) Visitors to the Exposition are some what surprised at the delay in putting in place the various exhibits. But this seems to have been unavoidable. For some time past freight cars have beeq coming into New' Orleans, and it has been impossible to take care of all of all of them, and foreign ezhibits have been delayed in the custom house. An order has just been issued from the department to bond and land them un der the same rules regulating foreign exhibits at the Centennial, and Jhesp ex hibits are now being rapid!} put In place. Freight loads of exhibits arrive hourly, and an army of men are em ployai in unloading and conveying them to their respective quarters. In the building all are busy in preparations, and the large scale upon which every thing is being done it must take no little time. But few state exhibits are thor oughly complétai and government ex hibits are even more backward. People in the north who contemplate visiting the Exposition, we would say, wait un til the first of February. You will no doubt be as much interestal in the w'eather as anything. Spring commenc es about the first of February. The winter is pow one series of raina and produces a damp, chilly atmosphere. While the temperature is not at freezing point the damp air penetrates a person and is even more disagreeable than actu al freezing weather. One great incon venience at present is getting from the grounds to the city at home-going time. Every street car is crowded,. Three lines of cars run from the grounds to the city, one car leaving the grounds on each line every three minutes, making an average of one every minute. Tw'o boats leave the grounds every hour, but they land so far from the center of the city it is inconvenient for many to go by them. The facilities are ample should each car take a load after one or tw'o o'clock; but the rush commences about five o'clock and continues until all are gone, which is sometimes eight or nine o'clock at night. The Great Eastern steamer will be here about the 17th of January, and will be used for hotel purposes. About 30,QQ0 people it of is ly up W holesale and Retail Dealer in Pure Kentucky Whiskies!
