A Good Scare. When the ladies'
meeting at the Methodist Church ad-
journed on Monday, a portion of them
came down into the business part of
the city, Rev. Mr.. Cole accompanying
them. The saloon men thought they
were to be prayed for and "made
haste" beautifully behind their defen-
ces, and out came the innocent men
who support such institutions and hied
them to their homes. o it was anus

ladies will tell you when they are COM

Late announcement Of Mining.

Contrary to Interpretations and indications
the mining season is opening up very late
! throughout the entire Territory. In some
camps the miners are fully month behind
the usual time. In many localities, where
the bitches are cleaned out and in running
order by the middle of April, they are I'M.
touched as yet. Very little has been done
anywhere, and in Alder, Bivins, and this inn
mediate locality. operations can hardly be
said to have commenced.

FINAL LOCATION OF THE N.
p. r. Il.

We are in receipt of advices which
contain the assurance that the North
ern Pacific Railroad has been perma-
nently located up the Yellowstone,
through the Bozeman Pass, and as far
as the Three Forks of the Missouri.
This may be regarded as final settle
nent of the vexed question, and will
be gladly received by our ranchmen
and citizens generally, for the uncer-
tainty which has existed regarding the
gnal location Of the route has operated
to the great detriment of the Territory
by retarding the permanent improve
ment Of farms and the settling up Of
the country. This uncertainty being
removed, we anticipate very decided
change in the tone of the public mind,
and in place Of the lethargy which has
characterized our communities, and
particularly the agricultural districts,
shall look for marked feeling of en-
terprise; and where heretofore only
&o.n pvaary improvements hovn been
made in the settlements we shall doubt

homes built up, with all the surround

and our fowls and villages will rapidly

THE Sioux City Journal tells of a
young man giving his name as Joe
Bolton, who lately arrived at that
Place from the Black Hills Country of
this Territory. He had spent the last
two years in the vicinity Of the Black
Hills with roaming bands Of Indians,
in hopes of getting an opportunity to
sole the question OF gold in those fam
Gus regions. He tells the Journal
man that during these two years he
has fequently been at the base of those
unexplored hills, but was never allow
ed to enter them. The Indians told
him that no paleface could ever enter
there, as it was the dwelling place Of
the departed spirits of the red man,
preparatory to the final journey to the
happy hunting grounds beyond the
sun. They, however, make frequent
visits into the hills to commune with
the spirits of the departed, but the
foot of u white man can never pollute
that sacred soil, and they guard it
with the greatest vigilance and .jeal-
ousy. Young Bolton says that he has
even gone SO far as to marry Red
Clouds daughter, and renounce the
customs Of civilization and swear cter-
nal allegiance to the great chiefs pow
er, but still he was not allowed to 90
into the sacred land. The Indians do
not deny the existence of gold in the
Black Hills, but they say it belongs to
the spirits that inhabit them, and it
cannot be removed. Bolton announces
his intention Of returning again to his
husky bride in a few weeks, and pros
ecute his undertakings to the last ex-
tremity.

NORTHERN PACIFIC Il. Il.

We publish elsewhere an article
which appeared in last weeks Mon
tanian, announcing the FINAL LOCA-
TON Of the Northern Pacific Railroad
by way Of the Yellowstone and through
BOHEMIAN PASS to the Three Forks or
Gallatin City. This is very gratifying
news to our people, and will inspire
confidence in all of Eastern Montana.
Now, if the Company can commence
work this season west Of the Missouri
river from Bismarck to Yellowstone
Crossing, we shall all be able to take
the cars at Bozeman Gallatin City
and 90 to the Centennial celebration
on the 18th of July, 1876. There is
nothing impossible in this. The Union
Pacific built over 500 hundred miles
of their road in one year, completing
the connec:.. ion to Ogden in 1868. The

the final completion of the road. Tines
are improving every day. The pro-
ducts Of the country arc advancing
rapidly. There is q general revival of
business everywhere, and we look for
a bouyancy in all departments Of bust
ness.
The final location of the road through
Gallatin county will have tendency
to attract population to our rich lands,
and, we say to all who want desirable
farms and homes, that there is plenty
of good land not yet entered, and
those coming among us will meet with
hospitality and kindness. For pro

Yellowstone valley is in this county,
and open to settlement, and so soon
as the Crow Indians remove to the
Judith Basin the rich reservation here
tofore occupied by them can be taken
up and filed ON. Land of the best
quality is abundant, and now is the
time to secure fine ranches along the

both on the Yellowstone and Gallatin
valleys. The location of the road gives
confidence to our people, and they will

Report Of the Senate Transportation
Committee.
WASHING TON, April A.-Windom. in pre-
senting the report Of the Transportion Com
mittee, said tie committee had come to the
~~acIusion that no substantial reduction In
the cost OF transportation IS to be anticipated
from the regulator OF competition between
existing railroads, nor is competition to be
induced by authorizing the construction OF
additional lines. If they be under private con-
troll. The comusttec decide that Congress
has the constitutional power to regulate In
ter-State commerce OF every description; that
it may appropriate money for the construc-
ton Of railways OF canals where necessary
for the regulation OF commerce; that it may
incorporate company to construct them
and exercise the right of eminent domain
within State, and in order to provide for
such right, to take for public use by paying
a jast compensation therefor, any existing
railway or canal owned by private persons
or corporations. These propositions were
discussed at length and fortified by various
decisions of the courts. With reference to
routes, tire committee conclude that the most
feasible and advantageous for public improve
ment are, 1st, the Mississippi river; I'd,
continued water line Of adequate capacity

CHANGERS MOVING.

The Changers of Indiana at q re-
cent convention in Indianapolis, de-
terlnined to initiate movement for
the organizations Of an independent
political party, and have issued call
inviting the farmers and industrial
classes generally to meet in mass con-
yention in indianapolis on the 10th of
June to devise ways and means to
emancipatc the State from the evils
brout abbught by the misrule of
party politics: In the address issued
by the farmers they say that The old
political organizations are corrupt;
that there is no faith to be placed in
their promises; and that there are no
questions at issue which ought to d.
vide the citizens Of Indiana while the
people demand publication OF local,
State and national politics. In a cir
cular which they are distributiong
through the counties they exhort the
people, irrespective Of party, to meet
in townships, counties and districts
to select delegates to the indianapolis
convention, and in the selection of
such delegates to guard vigilantly
against the intrusion Of any one not
known to be in coadial sympathy with
the object Of the movement, and to
exercise especial care to exclude all
party managers and sclfseeking dem
agogues. The practical work Of the
convention, according to the terms Of
the call, will be the preparation of a
platform and declaration Of principles
upon which all honest men may join
in hearty cooperation; but it is not to
be supposed that the prompters of
Of this movement will be satisfied with
mere manifesto Of opinions. The
State conventions Of the Republicans
and Democrats are called for July 10th
and 18th, and it will be seen that the
date set for the Independent conven-
ton is more than a month earlier
The Independents will doubtless make
nominations for all the important Of.
fees to be filed; and if they exercise
wisdom in their proceedings it is not
improbable that they may sweep the
State, as this is not designed as q
farmers movement merely. but is in
tended to enlist the support Of all
classes who believe that political re-
form is necessary. ~
