How MONTANA MOUNTAIN WAS TorPrER
NER.-Nearly every resident of Montana has
either seen or heard Of the famous Bear Tooth
mountain, the most prominent landmark in
Northern Montana. IL is visible from differ
ent points at distance ranging from forty
10 sixty miles and II in full view from He
lena and the surrounding country. The
mountain Is distant about thirty miles
from Helena. and stands like grim and
mighty sentinel at the end of the canyon
known as the Gate of the Mountains, through
which flows the Missouri river The Bear
Tooth was described as a wonderful land
mark OF the early explorers, Lewis aud
Clark. In all photographs of the northern
country the two tuskS, rising black and grim
hundreds of feet above the mountain, are the
prominent objects. The main tuSk remains
looking lonely and isolated in it's grandeur.
We are indebted 10 Judge IIilger, who met
The hunters referred 10 below, for the follow
ing particulars i'm reference 10 the fan of the
smallest of the two prongS:
Last Monday party of hunters who were
chaSing game several miles north of the Bear
Tooth, observing a rumbing sound aud a
quaking OF the earth, and SuppoSing il was
an earthquake. and not Noticing a repeti-
ton OF II, they soon forgot the occurrence,
and continued their chase until they
reached the Bears Tooth. Here they we're
ast0nlshed by the appearance of the eastern
tuSk ms was perpendicular mass of rock
and arih, fully 500 feet high, 800 feet i'm cir
conference at its base, and about $50 feet at
the top. This immense mass had become dis
logged, and coming down with the speed OF an
avalanche, had swept through forest of large
timber for a quarter OF a mile, entirely level
ing IL. The country around is now covered
with great mass of broken trees and tons
upon tons of rocks, many of them as large as
an ordinary house, Helena independent.
AN ILLUSTRATION of the spirit of the times
was the following little family scene when a
bright four; year-o little lady was initiating
her elders by playing make calls" Now,
mamma, you be Mitheth bones, and I'll he

THE TENS P4CIFIC.

In the interest of the South, the
most important question to come
before congress this winter is that OF
promoting the early construction OF
the Texas and Pacific railway, OF
some railway upon the line for
which that company holds the right
of way. The zeal in behalf of this
enterprise WILDE greatly sharpened
by the news which comes by the
way of Washington that the Cen
tral,Southern Pacific ring, in the
apparent confidence of controlling
congress, have belied all their
promises to the Southern people,
and have made an alliance with the
Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe
railroad company, by which the SO.
called Southern Pacific road OF
California is to be turned north to
connect with the other road at
Sante Fe, and TINS cheat the South.
ern States of the tranScontinental
line it has been so long promised
by Huntington & Co. The new
combination is simply another
northern line, controlled by the
Huutington's and Jay Gould's who
now control the defiant Pacific rail
road lines. For years the Hunting.
ton party has been busy in the
South working up sentiment in
behalf of their so-called Southern
Pacific road which was to be built
through on the 32d parallel. BY this
means they have delayed the pro.
posed government aid to the Texas
and Pacific road until the Central
Pacific ring could get control Of
the California end of the line.
Having got that control they now
deliberately repudiate their promi-
ses, and propose to rob the people
of the South of their right to an
independent tramscontinental road,
as they have robbed the United
States government and the buSi- !
ness of the country, 10 build up |
and perpetuate their bloated mo
For bng time this com.
bination of the Southern Pacific |
and the Sante Fe companies has /
been kept secret. Probably it
was made long before the Southern
Pacific road reached the Arizona
border. But isince it has ceased to
be of so great consequence to quiet |
the nerves Of Southern congress
men who were supposed to have too |
great an interest in the question OF |
developing the transcOntinental
trade of Southern ports, the Hunt

their newly developed ''enterprise'

The result should be a unanimous
demand by the Southern members

Ben Butter has been defeated by
over sixteen thousand majority.
Butler is acknoN lodged to be one
OF the shrewdest politicians i'll the
country, has tor many years con

carried them as it were in his pock-

calculations and has sustained an
inglorious defeat.
He first captured the labor
greenback convention and was
placed in nomination for governor
by that party. Atterward he and
his friends manipulated the So
called democratic convention, thus
securing his nomination by that
party, aud with one foot upon the
shoulders of the democratic party,
so-callcd, aud the other upon the
shoulders of the greenbackers, he
thought sure to ride safely into the
