his testimony was that Immediately
after 0rville Grant got the leadership
ut Standing Rock, which was in the

was extended across the Missouri

monopoly of the trade, and the value
of the post was greatly increased.

letter from General Grierson at Fort

to Belknap; also RoOcrson's letter
telling Be!knap Of the charges then
made that traders were paying money
to him. General Townsend rcpled
that he knew this last letter WAS

ESSEX COUNTY,
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1876-10-05

WE are pleased to note that both OF our
political parties in this county, have embod-
led our suggestions in regard to the reduc-
ton of interest On the county Indebtedness
in their respective platforms. This plainly
indicates the sentiment, though divided in
to two great political parties, is a unit upon
the affairs Of local government. The peo-
pie are correct in their views of great gov
eminent, when they begin to lay the foun-
dalton of reform at home. II we would
have the world grow weather., wiser and
better, let everyone begin at home "sweep
before his own door," When this is Gone,
the most difficult task is performed. Let
our political parties learn this truth. Let
them their reformation from
the very foundation, and chen and not until
then may we expect a healthy change in
American politics. When the principles Of
justice and economy become the cardinal
points Of the parties that rule the destinies
of our nation; when none but honest and
true men-men of character and understand
ing are the nominees of both parties, may
we look for any radical improvement or adj
ministration in public affairs.
The people Of Meagher county are wax
ening up to the Importance OF q commence
ment of this great work. They feel the bur
den Of taxation resting upon their shoulders,
aud have incorporated in their platforms the
section referring to il county indebted
ness, anxious that means be employed to
reduce it, and we trust that they may sue
coed, and that other counties profiting by
their example may do likewise.

Thursday we again repaired to the Fair
grounds. The attendance was less than
one-haH what it was the previous day. A
glance at the crowd at once told why this
was so. The visitors from abroad wer,,
more numerous than or Wednesday, but
the people Of the metropolis, who have ever
been so loud for a hearty support to this in
s~titution were not on hand. Their patriot
ism had waned. Perhaps, they failed to see
a dollar in the horse-race; consequently.
after one days attendance, left the Fair 70
those from abroad.
We regret we have not space in this con-
nection to mention some Of the reasons for
the manifest indifference of the people at
large to the Fair. The management will
learn that the fault lies with itself, and soon
er, or later, they will be made to realize that
some of the suggestions of the Rocky
MOUNTAIN HUsBANDMAN in regard to what
should constitute the chief attractions were
true.

THE FAIR.


EDITOR HUsBANDMAN: AT your request
I herewith send you a few notes from our
Missoula fair, held last week:
The weather was delightful, cool and
clear, finer than expected in such a rainy
season.
The grounds are three miles south Of Mis-
soula, and the hard, smooth, level road runs
straight as a line from the bridge to the
main entrance.
The mile race-traok and all the buildings
are surrounded by a high, well-built board
fence. Inside we found ample sheds and
stables for stock, two or three restaurant
buildings, judges stand, and the main build
the display of farm products and imple-
ments. Above, is Floral and Art halls.
The trials of speed occupied an undue
prominence, both i'll the programme and
upon the grounds, for a purely agricultural
and mechanical association; but it was no
worse in this respect than most of Others OF
its kind, and it is asserted, and I presume 1t
is t~rue-hoWeyer humiliating-that if ra-
cling was left out, the fair would not be self
supporting. The races were conducted qui-
city and fairly, and resulted satisfactorily,
no doubt to the winners.
/ have not space to go into details fully,
but will notice a few of the exhibits.
In Agricultural Hall We're to be seen fine
cabbages, cauliflowers, and several kinds Of
onions very large and well ripened. Pota-
toes, eight or ten varieties, some of them tho
finest I ever saw cucumbers, two varieties;
beets, turnips, kohlrabies, two varieties;
celery, satisfy, pumpkins, squasles, toma-
toes, fine watermelons, six varieties musk
melons, three varieties; several lots, OF
plums, large, lucious blackberries. crabap-
pies, both Siberian and Hyslop. -Four ex-
hibits of apples Of several varieties such az
Rambo, Red Astrachan, Rhode Island
Greening, ETC., well ripencd and tempting
grapes, etc. Corn and all other kinds OF
grain were fully represented.
Among manufactured articles were nne
rolls of butter, several cheeses, and q colleo-
ton Of preserves, pickles, %jellies, etc, from
native and cultivated fruits and berries OF
Missoula county, that would make Cutting
& Co., of San Francisco, tear out their haH
in despair of ever rivaling them.
In Floral Hall, was a large and fine snow
Of cut flowers and pot plants, gilmore Kih0'
and varieties than I would care to enunlef-
ate. The walls and lines overhead "eIe
hung with the tasteful and beautiful wofA

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR.

Tuesday morning, September Goth, we
took a top-seat on 2. B. Clark's coach,
which was already crowded with passen-
gers for a weeks s%ojourn among our Met
ropolitan friends and a visit to the exhibition
ofthe Montana Agricultural, Mineral and
Mechanical Association. We ratified along
at a lively rate, arriving at Canyon Ferry at
10 O'CLOCK, we did not stop for dinner but
pushed ahead and got to Helena by Q: 30,
u. M, in due time to have attended Tues
days races, had not business detained us in
town.
We found Helena alive with visitors, and
until all the hotels and clearinghouse
in the city were filled to overlooking, yet
there did not appear to be the crowd we
shave noticed upon the grounds In former
years. Wednesday afternoon we visited
the Fairgrounds to see the display. When
4 person attends a mammouth exhibition, it
is generally difficult to tell where to begin a
narrative of what is to be seen, but upon
this occasion there seemed to be difficulty in
this regard.
The chief attraction were the sheep, as the
crowd of ladies and gentlemen which sur
rounded the pens where they were kept, at
once assured us. The collection represent
ed some of the best fiocks in Montana, and
numbered twenty six. Principal among
these were Messrs. C. w. Cook & Bros i'm
ported Gloucester Chief, and Messrs. Good
ale 81 Benefits imported British Prince.
These parties had, also, some choice two
year-old sheep, imported from the States
last spring. Messrs. Goodale & Bennett had
ten March lambs that were indeed hard to
beat. These lots were thoroughbred Cots
void and are remarkable for their large
frame and heavy coat of long, marketable
WOOL. In the next stall Cook s. Bro. had
two fine Spanish Merinos. In a corner, near
by the side of this stall, were a pair of COM
mon sheep, we did not learn by whom en-
tered. Their presence was valuable to the
thoroughbred exhibitors, as there was such
q marked contrast in favor of the pure
bloods.
In the corner pen, north of these We're
1--WE head of Spanish Merinos-three lambs,
a y~earling buck and a two-year-old eve
from the thoroughbred flock of j. III. Rourk,
of Beayerhead county. Owing to the fa-
tigne in consequence of being hauled SO Ear,
this lot was not in a good condition to show
TO advantage. They had very thick coats OF
wool. Mr.. Rourk had on exhibition a fleece
from the yearling, weighing fifteen pounds,
snd another from the two-vear4old we,

The City budget for 1877.

The Board of Apportionment yesterday
passed the final estimate for carrying on the
city government during the year 1877, and
Comptroller Kelly congratulated the tax
payers, in brief address, on the fact that
the total amount is considerably less than
the sum appropriated for the year about to
close The rate Of taxation on the present
assessed valuation will be reduced from
2.S3 per 500 to 2.65. At the same time,
owing mainly to the passage of laws by the
last Legislature lessening the rate Of inter
est exacted from those in arrears for taxes
or assessments, the revenues of the General
Fund applicable to the reduction of the
years taxation can only be estimated at
two millions and half for 1877 against
four millions in 1876.
Comptroller Kelly has only been in Office
during the last hours of the settlement of
the budget for next year, and Mayor Ely
has no responsibility for it whatever. 1t is
really chargeable to the old regime The
new Comptroller has, therefore, no occasion
to father it or to boast of it's economical
charac.er-a practice which prevailed under
When we compare the budgets OF 1876 and
1877 We find that there has not been that
saving in the running expenses Of the de-
partments that the people expect to find
next year under the new order Of things.
The total Of this years estimates was
$34, 90i. 395. and Of next years $50, 9S4. 2G9-
decrease of $500, l26. But the difference
is more than made up by the saving in items
wholly unconnected with the city govern
ment, as the following statement will
show
Decrease OF state tax in 1877. So 0.0, 306
Decrease in interest," and principal OF debt

wcstchester state tax In 1876 not lS75.... 4651S
Total saved IN 1877 1876. or 81,
From these figures it will be seen that no
good claim to peculiar economy can be made
for the budget finally adopted yesterday
We must wait another year before fully
realizing the advantages of the harmonious
and efficient administration which we hopo
to sec inaugurated in the over-taxed city of
New York tomorrow.

Silent Sufferers.

While the miseries of the poor are attract
ing the attention of the benevolent there is
danger that the worst sufferers will be over
looked. There is everywhere a class of un-
fortunates who never ask relief, never COM
plain, always keep their affairs to themselves,
wear brave faces, and yet undergo almost in
credible hardships. The higher orders of
artisans and mechanics, the clerks and pro-
fcssional men, and the penniless men and
women of high character and attain
ments are in many instances en-
during all the privations which nre
making life uncomfortable to the lowest, and
are suffering mental agonies which are
simply beyond description. The strangest,
most terrible fact in connection with them
is that, though their condition is generally
known to their well-to-do friends there is
not only no effort made to relieve them, but
they are regarded with that strange mingling
of admiration and Indifference which makes
the spectators of Roman gladiatorial shows
so incomprehensible to the modern mind.
There is scarcely family in comfort
able circumstances that cannot recall
SuCn hCQudlAtduCcS WIZ dIc pIhCliCdtiy as
friendless as if they were in the centre of
Africa In addition to the sacred plea of
charity these people have a special claim
upon their more fortunate neighbors, for of
general society they constitute an element
which can never be too prominent; they
furnish a large amount of the in
telligent effort and example without
which society and civilization cannot
exist. In every active department of
life mans bravery and woman's endur-
ance merit and receive the hearty recog-
milton of all mankind certainly in the
greatest of all struggles the sympathy of
their fellow beings should not fail them.
How to alleviate their torments is question
which any honest person can answer for
himself after few moments of thought, and
the answer is imperatively needed in hun
dreds Of thousands of cases and in every
city and town.
