TERRITORIAL NEWS.
From the Helena Herald.

Harry j. Norton has purchased in San
Francisco a p~ower-press and complete print
ing outfit, and shipped the same to Silver
City, Nevada, where he purposes to start a
daily and weekly paper in opposition to the
Lyon County Times.
The sale Of Lewis and Clark county bonds
yesterday was not a success, only $4,000
having been disposed Of. The commission
ers postponed the sale until some future
time. VIM. Kinselly was the purchaser, at
so cents:
Capt. Reese, Superintendent of the Jaw
with d handsome gold brick, the result of a
two-weeks' run. The brick was of the coin
value of$2, 900; and the Captain Turns one Of
them out every two weeks regularly. 4
The Commissioners think that the law
does not contemplate that the County poor
and insane should be cared for and medical
" treated by the same parties. This throws
out all the bids but Smiths, Aliens, and
the Sisters. Smith has,withdrew his on the
grounds of a misunderstanding about what
the County ouldfurnish. Allen's contem-
plates the County furnishing teams, farm
implements, etc., which it did not purpose
to do. This leaves only the Sisters bid,
which the Commissioner think too high, but
they have bargained with them privately on
better terms, viz: -Four of the insane at So
per week; the remainder to 90 in with
the poor at Sc. 80. Floyd keating, one of
the insane, is refused. as being from Gallatin
county, unless decided to belong to this
county by the Governor. n.

On Saturday night attended a meeting OF
the Bozeman Grange. This grange mas
within the past year experienced quite a ae-
cline in membership, but the healfhful con-
dition of the body and the zeal OF the re-
naming members is in nowise impaired. IL
has lost those who are good sailors only
,1non a smooth sea and under a fair wind,
but who desert the helm and flee the ship In
FRI verse winds and when the breakers roar.
The meeting was indeed a pleasant one.
Sunday we returned to McCormick's
ranch. mounted our horse and went up MID
die creek. This is also a tine sectloh OF
farming-land and is easily watered. There
are many good farms in this n~elghborlood,
and plenty of land not yet taken. we
stopped over night with our friends, Chanl-
bers & Weaver, and treated our horse to the
luxury of timothy hay, a crop OF Which IS
successfully raised here.
Monday we continued up the west GaIl;i-
tin and paid a visit to the Worthy Master OF
the Territorial Grange, Hon. Brigham Keed.
He has a good farm of 220 acres, located up
on the west side of the river, just beneath
the bluffs that run off in high, rolling pla-
teaus for twenty miles Westward, affording
ample and excellent range. About n e
half Of the farm consists OF meadoW-land,
the most of which produces q very superior
quality OF upland hay. He has also eight
acres Of timothy and one acre Of orchard
GRASS. The rest of the farm never fails to
produce xxx wheat. His residence is low,
comfortable, convenient and well-fErnished.
Mr.. r. has been for o number of years en-
gagged in a tirst-class dairy business but,
having. quit, intends giving his attention to
the breeding OF blooded stock. He intends
to dispose of his present stock OF common
native breeds, and replace them with thor
~oughbreds and high-grades as fast as practi-
cable.
Mr.. Reeds is but one of the many No. /
farms to be found OH the West Gallatin.
The soil is deep and black and produces
abundant crops. Much Of it does not re-
quire to be irrigated. Farmers here are
generally thrifty and Industrious and are
provided with good dwellings. We are glad
to say their social and educational interests
enjoy a fair attention. There are two
oranges and two school-llouses in this vicin-
ity. We predict tor this portion Of the Val
ley a prosperous future. r. N. S.

TRAVELLING among the farmers of Mon
tana, we hear a great deal of complaint O.
dull dimes, tile eaarn;+sr ~f money, etc. The
fact is, to men who have always been accus-
toned to have ready money, times appear
eat. Their tables are well supplied with
good, wholesome food. They are improy-
ing their farms, providing neat and comfort
able dwellings and building barns and
grainaries. In fact, everything goes to show
that they are in a very prosperous condi-
ton. We admit that money is scarcer than
it has been for several years. Our farmers
have been scourged with g~rasshoppers for
two successive years and many feel discour-
aged, yet the indications are that they are
struggling on and receiving as great a re-
ward for their labor as are any of their class
i'll any part of the States. They are begin
ming to see the advantage of progression,
and are turning their attention to- the best
breeds of stock, procuring the most I'M
proved labor-saving machinery, providing
themselves with good teams, and are gener-
ally on IL tirmer financial basis than the
farmers in any State in the Union. And
taken as a mass, we believe they live as
well, work as little, and make as much as
any agricultural people, and for hospitality
they cannot be excelled. The wayfaring
man is never turned from theirdoor hungry
or thirsty. All are glad to do a Kindness
and share their rations with their fellow
man.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1876-03-16

The first immigrants to Montana were a
class of rowing, gold-hungry fortune-hunt-
ers, who came here with the expectation OF
picking up a suficiency in a few days and
returning whence they came. Men of this
class rushed hurriedly over the Territory
stayed only a few years, saw some of the
richest and most convenient mines worked
out, pronounced the country a failure, and
passed on upon their search after easily ac-
quired wealth. A few of the more sober
minded have remained and have been joined
by a less-excitable class. They find it good
to be here. There are a smaller number of
able-bodied men in the Territory than for
merly, yet the annual yield of gold has for
several years been steadily increasing.
Wages are somewhat reduced, but mining.
has settled into a business-like shape, and
there are more men makinga good living
a good support for Notwithstanding home
stakes and amassing wealth than did when
wages were from six to TEN dollars per day,
and money was plenty.
The miner of to-day has settled here with
q view to making this his home. He has
given up the old idea of getting rich in a
day and rushing off tc some other place in
this big world to spend it. They have be-
come permanent citizens who look to the
welfare of the country. After years OF pa
tent toll, they are at last reaping the re-
ward due-a harvest which the adventurer,
gone before, never waits to enjoy.
The miserable shacks and shanties of early
days are giving way to neat, comfortable
dwellings,. Churches begin to show their
spires in the little towns, the hum Of bust
ness which once marked the Sabbath above
all other days is gradually giving way to
the church and Sabbath-school, and in the
largest Of our towns and cities the deep
toned Sabbath bell ummon the urchin
from the street,
Road agents and vigilantes departed with
the adventurer and are numbered with the
things that were. Society, enjoyment, pros
perity, peace, quiet happiness, and content
ment, the general influences of civilization,
are gathering about us.
