WI WOULD offer a few words in behalf of
our advertising patrons. They are few in
number, but this is owing, in a great meas
ure to the fact that we admit no advertise
ments within our columns of firms which
are Of a doubtful character. In devoting a
small portion Of our space to advertising,
we accommodate Jul readers as well as those
who advertise ; for it is an accommodation
to our readers to know where he can pur-
chase such articles Of merchandise, nipple
ments, etc., as he may need, at the lowest
prices. 1t is also a satifaction to the con-
sumner to know that the publisher is on the
alert, and that doubtful and irresponsible
firms, lottery humbugs and catch-penny
swindles are not found in our columns. The
appearance of an advertisement in our paper
is simply a recommendation. 1t is a guar
anty that such a firm really exists and de-
serves the consideration Of the public. We
therefore recommend to our friends through
out the Territory that they consider well
the claims of these firms upon their patron
age. To the h~usbandman who has the care
of rearinga family, we would say that he
can place u paper before his household
without reserve. 1t contains no cunningly
devised advertisement to entrap the young
and lead to the dissemination of obscene
literature. Our rule results ad~vantageously
to those who do a legitimate business, and
can give references, as it places them beyond
the competition of those who cannot. In
the future, as in the past, we shall endeavor
to guard our advertising columns. admitting
nothing that is unworthy.
First upon our list, at present, is Mr.. T.
E. Collins, attorney and counselor at law
a capable and efficient gentleman, who at
tends promptly to all business entrusted to
his care.
Our next advertisement is that of w. F.
Massachusetts of this place-who is a
polite and obliging grocery merchant, and
has a large and rapidly increasing business.

%lHEl last weeks snow storm proved more
1atal to the flocks than we supposed. L. d.
Burt lost seven sheep and about fifteen lambs.
Fafoerry u Stephens lost fifteen or twenty
lambs. G. L. RAIDER lost thirty or forty
lambs and seven old sheep. Other tlocks
nave not yet been heard from. The lambs
which were lost dropped on the night of the
storm. The grown sheep that died were
severely afflicted with scab.
LATER.-1 1t is reported that Crittenden &
Smith lost six lambs; Smith Bros, ten or
twelve; Cook Bros, eleven Parberrv &
stephens, forty; G. L. RAIDER, from fifty to
seventy-tive, and Burt, of the California
ranch, lost twenty-five head of grown sheep
which had been recently sheared.
On WEDNESDAY last it began to snow.
and continued until Friday afternoon. On
Saturday morning it lay in our streets and
on our house tops fully thirty inches deep.
The weight was so great that the roof of
the stable belonging to the Diamond and
Helena stage line gave way and tumbled in.
The residence of Mr.. Jonas Higgins was
also seriously injured, and was only saved
by timely attention. Many of our roofs
groaned under the great weight, and would,
very probably, have given way had not u
citizens turned out en- naasse and relieved
them of their burdens.
Our sheep men have no doubt experience
ed considerable inconvenience, but the
weather has been too warm to cause much
loss.
The value of this snowfall to our mining
and farming interests is incalculable. It will
the water to such an extent as to
make mining very brisk, and will be a great
of labor to the farmer, as it will thor
oughly s%aturate the ground. 1t will also
destroy innumerable g%rasshoppers. We do
not claim that the snow will kill them. but
believe that countless myriads will be swept
by the flood that must follow.
