poets Of the market. But it could
not be supposed that Gen. Gibbon
would allow this method Of CON
tracing to continue, which IS injuri-
Gus to the interests Of the Govern
ment, for the purpose Of aiding the
monopoly Of the farmers. No, and
il this state Of affairs exists much
longer it is no more than likely to
suppose that the supply depart
ment will be notified Of the impos-
sibility Of supplying the military
posts in Montana through home
contracts. The result Of this Motif
cation would be the shipment Of the
supplies needed from the Eastern
markets. Can the farmers stand
that? We think not. And the soon
er they look upon the matter in its
proper light the better It will be
for themselves.

! short time ago we had an ink
ling, through one Of the parties
concerned, Of the existence Of a
scheme to control the -four market
Of Helena. We refrained from
publishing anything il regard to
the matter, as we supposed that
The Helena journals, who are gen
orally 50 watchful of the peoples
interests, would at the proper mo-
ment expose the plot or at least
give some hint Of its probable ex-
lstence. But for some reason best
known to themselves, no intima-
ton has been given regarding q
plot the success Of which must
prove a source Of oppression to
persons Of limited means on the
contrary, these journals publish fig
ures which are calculated to de-
cejve the inexperienced by creating
an impression that prices are low
and in the absence of any informa-
tion 60 the contrary, that these
prices are likely to remain good
until next season. AS the matter
remotely touches the interests Of the
residents Of this vicinity, we desire
for their benefit, and at the same
time for the benefit Of adjacent
communities, to expose a scheme
which we regret to say has now
reached perfected stage. 4 few
capitalists Of Helena are in concert

JUDGE WADE7S DECISION.

Judge Wade, IN charging the
jury in the case Of the United States
vs.. the property Of Power & Bro,
defined the term Indian country, !"
as used II the statutes, as follows:
The region Of country included
within the boundaries Of the Ste
vens and Cummings treaty, gener-
ally known as the Blackfoot treaty,
is Indian country, within the mean
ing and for the purposes Of the In
dian intercourse act, and If the
place where the goods we're seized
was within such boundaries, and
therefore within Indian country,
they were subject to seizure, provi-
ding the goods were at the place
for the purposes Of trade with the
Indians, and providing the goods
were offered for sale to Indians at a
place and in q region OF country
habitualIy occupied by Indians,
and not occupied BY white persons,
and remote from white settlements,
and providing that the claimants
had no valid license from the Gov
ernment authorizing such trade y
The Herald says that:
In accordance with the forego-
ing opinion, y. S. Marshal Wheeler
has sent notification to a number
OF parties trading or preparing to
trade with Indians between the
Teton and Mafias, and in the count
ry contiguous, that their goods will
become subject to seizure and for
feiture unless they first procure a
license from the Interior Depart
ment." "
This definition Of the term IN
dian country which is advanced
as q true and correct interpreta-
tion Of the Intercourse Act, SO far
as it applies to the country lying
the Marias and Teton
rivers conveys to the unbiased
mind tne impression that it is the
production Of an unseen influence.
We care not from what court or
chambers the decision may have
or whether it IS original
with Judge Wade, It is n direct
to the provisions Of the
Act Of Congress, which established
the present line Of the Blackfoot
Reservation It's unreasonableness
appears on its face. Indian eoun-

is generally acknowledged to be,
beneficial to the general public. IN
the Eastern and Western States the
farmers or Changers have succeeded
in removing theintermediate agency

acted to the best interests Of the
public and their own welfare. #

exorbitant rates the dealers may
desire to ask.
The Helena papers quote the
wholesale price Of -four at from
four to four and a half dollars, and
a scarcity Of the article is not even
hinted at This speaks for itself.
Now let any person desirous Of
purchasing in quantity, say twenty
sacks, which is rather a small order,
proceed to Helena to fill his bill,
and the flour merchants will inform
him that they are unable to fillany
such demand. In fact, only q few
hundred pounds can be purchased
from any one merchant. The drift
Of this is easily discerned It is
the primary move in the develop
ment Of the scheme. 1t creates an
impression that -four IS scarce, and
consequently affords ali excuse for
an increase Of price. This increase
is gradual, because a sudden ad-
vance just now might spoil the
whole maneuvre. Flour can not
be bought now for less than five
dollars, wholesale, and only very
small orders will be filled by any
single dealer Why is itso !? There
is no general scarcity Of flour
There is more flour in the Terri
tory this year than last. Judging,
therefore, from the refusal to sell
at wholesale, and willingness to sell
in small quantities at an advance
Of the quoted rates, we must incline
to the belief that the intention Of
the schemers IS to hold the market
for some time longer, and thus cause
the impression to become general
that there is a scarcely Of -four
This no doubt IS the course of the
game which is now being played at
the expense Of those who are de-
pendent upon the Helena market,
by a few unscrupulous spectators,
the result of which will be an i'm
mediate increase in the price Of
flour the moment we are hemmed in
by the SHOWS Of the coming winter.
All is well that ends well, and the
plot Of the Helena -four merchants
may yet be checked, ere its worst
effects are felt By the general pub
lie.

try it confines to a region not occu-
pied by white persons, remote from
white settlements, and in the habit
ual occupation Of Indians. Now
the country on this side of the pres
ent line Of the Blackfoot Indian
reservation, and between the Teton
and the Marias, is open for settle-
ment and IS at present occupied by
white settlers, and according to
Judge Wade's own words does not
come within the meaning of the
term Indian country. Consequently
any traderin IN that country having
license from the United States and
this Territory no more comes with
IN the jurisdiction of the Interior
Department than does any merchant
Of Helena; nor has he any more
need of a license from the Commits
sioner Of Indian affairs to trade IN
that country than any Helena mer-
chant has to trade with Indians in
the town Of Helena. And for the
same reason the United States Mar
shals have no more right to seize
the goods Of any trader in that
country, who is without a license
from the Interior Department, than
they have to seize and confscate
the. property Of any merchant who
may without a license from the
same Department trade with IN
dians ID the town of Helena, or in
any other town Of the Territory. The
tract Of country included within
the boundaries Of the Blackfoot res
ervation is Indian country within
the meaning and for the purposes
Of the Intercourse Act. This is
the real meaning to be derived from
reading the late decision Of Judge
Wade, with which to that extent
the general public will agree.
The Act Of Congress approved
April 18th, 1874, which established
a reservation for the Blackfoot In
dians in this Territory, clearly de-
fines the boundaries Of the same.
For the benefit of our readers and
those concerned in Indian trade on
the Teton We publish this Act.

country, IN the Territory Of Mon
tana, be, and the same is hereby,

\ well krown LAWYER of our
town called on us one day during
the present week, aud asked us to
interpret a certain act Of the last
General Assembly Of the State, re
marking IN tone OF confidence,
that his science aud experience was
utterly al fault IN the particular in
stance. Well pleased 10 find our
private opinion of our mental gift
confirmed ia such Il fattering man.
ner, we at once put our whole mind
upon the legal problem, and at
leGgth reached a conclusion as to
what was the intention Of our law
makers, provided we added,
".that they really intended any
thing" We were thus cautious be-
cause we then seriously doubted
whether the legislature had any
definite intention when it passed
the act, and we did not want to en-
danger oar reputation as an cXpoun-
dor of the law by being 90 positive,
The lawyer thanked us very wuim-
ly for our assistance, and concluded
by saying, 81 can interpret law,
but when it comes to constituting
nonsense, always 90 tot al editor"
Now we would like to know wheth-
cr that last observation was Il fling
at the Legislature and compliment
to US, or compliment 10 US and a
