heard from they were demolishing some OF
their neighbors' hay-stacks.

barley and White Australian wheat were. Sc
lected by J. p. Woolman, the Centennial

the Territory. One busfef each of this bar
ley and wheat was, we believe, the only
grain of the kind sent by Mr.. Woolman to

Gro. w. WAKEFIELD and w. III. Meadow
of Gallatin Valley, passed through town
Tuesday, on their way to Camp Baker, OIL
business connected with the Grange con-
tracts. The Changers of Gallatin succeeded
in filling all their contracts with the eXcep-
ton Of that for Fort Shaw, and their failure
in that was not so much due to any fault of
theirs as to the Impotence and want of con-
fidence on the part of the Q~uartermaster at
that post. A large amount of the grain had
been delivered, and at the time he bought
10000 pounds in open market, the Grang-
ers had about 100,0 900 on the road, and We're
working their way through the storms which
came upon them in November. Their ON
tract did not require the delivery of all the
grain before the first of December. The
Benton Record has seen fit to make this a
pretext for the wholesale abuse Of the Or
ganization, which shows either their igno-
rance of the facts or Il wilful disregard of
them.
