HAZEN AGAIN.

Gen. IIazen, who is well acquainted
with that country, say brought IS the
4 primal condition OF laL beyond the
ninety eighth. meridian. ~. he suggeD {
that the State Governments = Nebraskx
and Kansas ought to issue proclamattoni
warning settlers not 10 80 beyond that
Iine.-[ Exchange.
Gen. Hazen has on several occasions
taken upon himself the gratuitous job Of
misrepresentinx the Western Territories,
and his printed articles on the subject
have been the means OF bringing forth
incontrovcrtible evidence to stamp him u
a public talsifier, and we trust the State
Governments OF Nebraska and Kansas
will not place themselves In the same cat
egory BY publishing the proclamation
recommended. Speaking Tor Montana,
and tile same may be said Of the Other
Territories, vegetation has never suffer-
81 rom drought. The rainfall here last
year. according to official reports. wat
almost equal to that In Nebraska, and
the amount is Increasing every year. So
far this season, the amount Eas doubled
that Of last year up to the same time.
Our valleys are well supplied with run
ming streams, and In case OF dry weather,
farmers have only to turn the water into
their irr,gating bitches. and they can
give their crops . better watering
than Is Afforded by an ordinary rainfall.
These irrigating bitches, IS . general
thing. are not expensive. and the amount
Of labor required In irrigating Is compar.
atively small. And it is quite . satisisc-
ton to farmers to know that they are not
entirely dependent upon the caPrices Of
the weather for the success Of til. ir crops.
The fact that We raise more to the acre
than either Kansas or Nebraska. and our
productions being vastly superior to those
raised In the States named, should b.
sufficient evidence to convict Gen. Hazen
OF falschOOd in this matter.

Reception to Sec'y Belknap ut

A considerable number of ladies ana
gentlemen left town about 4 O'Clock yes.
terday afternoon to meet Secretary Belk
nap who, It was known was coming to
Helena from Bozeman. The B0zeman
coach in which Gen. Belknap was, follow
ed by long string of carriages and bug
gies, arrived at the International Hotel
about 8'clock, whereupon the Silver Cor.
net Band struck up an cir which soon
brought together large concourse Of ci!l.
zens. when Delegate Msginnis came upon
the balcony of the Hotel and addressed
the crowd, acknowledging the great ser
vice which the Secretary has been to him
many times in his efforts to procure Con.
grcssional Legislation for the benefit of
Montana and concluded by introducing
the Secretary, who came forward, acknowl-
edged the compliment of the reception to
himself and his companions, alluded in
complimentary teims to the wonders of
the Yellowstone, our fertile soil and grand
mountain scenery. He had observed OUT
isolated and unprotected situation and in
emphatic terms promised that he would
use his personal cndeavors and the infu
ence of his position to obtain for US the
military protection which he saw was SO
urgently needed here.
The Secretary is q handsome man, Of fine
presence, and spoke with great ease and
huency, and his short address elicled fire
quent applause. It is evident that he has
created decidedly favorable effect upon
our people. The hope which was enter
tanned, heretofore, 40 to the good results
which might enure to our people from the
|Secretary's visit, appear to be extremely
well founded. It is understood that BIZ
and his party will depart tomorrow foI

THAT LETTER.

There has been considerable talk In
town during the past ten days, occasioned
by the appearance OF an article In the New
York Herald from correspondent 10 re-
ference to alleged frauds committed .,
the Fort Peck Indian Agency. In which
tire names OF our townsmen, Major W.
w. Anderson, At present agent at that
place, and Mr.. Nelson Story contractor,
are made 10 fgsse quite prominently.
We have not had an opportunity to see
the number of the Herald containing the
letter, bat understand that six columns
are scvoted to the subject. We have
read the major and We presume the mos'
important part OF the letter, which We
find copied in the II. lena Newsletter.
It is quite evident that the correspond.
ence was conceived In malice and bears
upon ito face unm,stakle evidences
OF having been written at the IN
stance, and for the money, OF a set ol
scallawsgs on the Missouri river, who
enjoyed rich pickings from the Fort Peck
Agency before The installmenr Of Major
Anderson Is agent there. His Incorrupt-
ible integrity they do not understand nor
like, snd are endeavoring to sully his fair
name by spiecies Of talsehood that will
certainly fail to crafty then in the end.
The correspondents deals mainly in
such as have frequently been
published In the San, and the specifics
tons are vague and indefinite. The only
direct charges made are upon Information
furnished the correspondent by men dis.
charged from the Agency. probably on
account Of their worthiessness. He mis-
the former standing and dnan-
ciol circumstances Of Major Anderson,
and presents him now In the light Of q
bully. who draws his revolver
on every occasion. Mr.. Story he repre-
sents as merchant Of Bozemsn. Some
VI this correspondents assertions In re-
gard to the management of the Agency
are based upon Information said to have
been furnished by the Indians. but which
be did not receive until after 1t had passed
sround among the wooi-choppers and
finally reached him through discharged
employe OF the Agency.
The Commission appointed to invcsti-
gate affairs at the Red Cloud Agency has
been empowered to extend its invesxtiga.
ons to other Agencies. including Fort
Peck, and II any irregularities have been
going on there the Comm sioners are
pretty certain to discover them, but we
IRE Of opinion that they will find things
there as they should lie.
This Herald letter is but one Of the
many underhand attempts that H. 70 been
made to weaken or Lis!odge Major Alder.
son since be has been Agent. He had
hardly received his commission before
certain parties commenced scheming for
his removal, the base Of their opers tons
beng In Washington. The fact Is, he
was too honest . man for the cormorants

pounce upon aud plumber the Govern
ment and Indians Of their goods.
