sT0cK PROSPECTS OF MONTANA

We are pleased to note the
strong confidence that is steadily
growing up among the residents
Of this and adjacent localities re-
garding the future Of Montana IN
general and particularly ofcur own
immediate section. 1t IS now no
longer d matter Of doubt that we
have the most unlimited agricultu-
raj resources, and further investiga
ton may prove that we have also
an inexhaastible store Of mineral
wealth. But if both Of these were
wanting, there are other and SUI
more reliable resources which re-
quire only perseverance and indus
try to develop There i a time
coming, and from present ipdica.
tions We believe that time is not
far distant, when Montana will be
regarded as the beef market OF the
United States. Texas and other
markets will soon be exhausted, or
10 nearly 50 as 10 be unable to sup
ply the demand to advantage. The
cost Of transportation has already
raised the price Of beef III Eastern
cities altogether outof proportion
to that Of other necessities, and II
few years this almost indlspensa-
bic article Of food will be entirely
beyond the reach Of the poorer clas-
ses. Montana is in no condition
at present to supply the Eastern
market. a single year would
sweep off every hoof that now
luxuriates upon her nutritious pas.
lures, and the golden future that
now looms up 50 brilliantly would
fade into darkness, and compel heT
to seek from her other resources
the reward she had reason to an
ticipate from this.
Our people are beginning t.
realize tits, and the grumblers ane
croakers are becoming beautifully
less every day, fol, il is now vel

known that there is not i man III
the Territory who cannot dispose
Of his cattle to good advantage the
moment lie desires 10 sell. The
old cattle men are corra]ling all
the stock they can get hold Of and
new buyers are coming upon the
field every day. Even our old
friend Judge Tattan-Whose artl-
cles upon the subject Of emigration
have contributed more to encour-
age the people Of this section than
all the agricultural books and peri
odicals that were ever Written
has become convinced by his own
arguments, and is now hard at
work on the Highwood, building
a comfortable stock ranch and pre-
pairing to become one OF the mer-
chant stockmen Of Montana.
Our Territory also promises to
become a noted horse-market.-
Several large bands Of horses
brought here within the last three
months have been sold at handsome
profits; not at handsome prices,
however, but they were originally Y
purchased by the herd, and sold
here one or two head at a time.
Ks they grew fat and hearty on
nothing but Montana grass, then
owners conld we'll afford to wait
for occasional or chance purchasers
and by SO doing they realized gooo
profits and sold the horses al
reasonable prices. It is therefore
believed that extensive horse-rals
ing would prove a profitable enter
prisein this locality, at least, where
there IS an abundance Of grass dur
ing the summer and hay can b1
bought cheap during the winter
That it would prove as profitable
as cattle raising, however, We d
not believe, at least not until Mr.
Lo is placed under proper restrain
and made to understand that h
has no mortgage upon the horse ID
terest in this section. At presen
4 he is liable to exact an extortlon
ate percentage upon all herds Q
single animals that may happen +
cross his numerous path, and g
perience has proved that the III
fortunate owners Of such animal
have little show to recover thel
property or obtain damages. NheI
the military obtain entire eontrc
Of the Indians, which will probabl.
happen under the next admlnlstrs
tion, people will have some securlt
for their property and will fee
justified ii investing their mean
ID this as we'll as n other prof
able enterprises. t IS then tia
we look for Montana to beeom
the great depot for supplying th
Eastern market with horses as We

IMPRISONMENT PREFERRED TO BANIsH-
MENT--So rarely does the political exile dis
play common sense and fail to avail himself
of an opportunity for martyrdom, that the
example of Lepine, "Adjutant General of
Manitoba " during the insurrectiJn of 1870,
deserves especial notice and commendation.
He was sentenced to death for participating
In the % Judicial " murder of au Orangeman
who opposed the rebellion but Earl Dufferin,
for political reasons, commuted his sentence
TO imprisonment for two years. At the re-
cent session the Dominion Parliament graut-
I'd an amnesty to It's Northwestern outlaws
conditioned on their exile, Lepine's term Of
banishment being set at five years And 10 !!
be prefers staying in Jail till his sentence of
two years has expired, when he will 90 free,
Justice having been satisfied. His line Of
reasoning Is rather more practical than ro-
mantle. \ good part of his sentence has
been served, so that by staying in prison he
gains three years and half. In Jail he gets
his meals regularly, can communicate freely
with his friends, has not 10 work-advan-
tages that would vanish were he banished.
Altogether he prefers 10 stay where he is
than TO make an exile and u martyr Of him
self. So notable a departure from the ordi-
nary course of things, especially as when a
French Canadian rebels, escapes the gsilows
and gees into exile, he Is pretty sure to be
made IL member of Parliament aud Minister
of the Crown as soon AS he gets home, merits
mention. If exiles generally, whether Of
Erin or France, had as much common sense,
the public wouldn't be bothered and bored by
them as badly as it now is--N. I. UCyid.
