down upon the vale-can now be seen prog

great change in the agricultural sections of
the hills, almost as remarkable as in the

What the developments a year hence will
be can be easily guessed.

IT was our good fortune to spend a merry
Christmas with the good people of Prickly
Pear valley. The tree at the Grange Hall
on the 22d gave good satisfaction, all the
little folks present receiving some token Of
love or friendship to make them happy.
Nor was this all, for many who had passed
the thoughtless age Of childhood were the
recipients of nice presents. The bountiful
supply of eatables on hand gave sufficient
evidence that the grangers of that locality
were in a fiourishing condition. One of the
novelties of the occasion was a grab box of
choice cake, etc., for bachelors-they being
invited to grab with both hands. After
Santa Claus had distributed his stores and
gone away, the hall was cleared, and those
who say fit engaged in the. n1azes of the
dance until eleven. On Christmas Eve we
attended a Christmas tree at the Prickly
Pear House. On this occasion, as on Satur-
day evening, the young felix's were highly
delighted. The tree was well filled with
presents, and the supper, which was prepar-
ed by the ladies of the neighborhood, most
excellent, and in quantity sufficient to have
fed double the number present. Here. too.
after the supper was over, and the tree strip
ped of its valuables, music commenced. and
young and old, with happy hearts and flying
feet. tripped a merry Christmas until 'thc
wee, sma' hours" of morning.

WE find by examination of the advertise.
ment OF postal routes lately issued by the
Post Office Department that the Meagher
county mail service is better than we were
aware OF last week. Under the summer
schedule the mails are to leave Helena at 5
a. n. and arrive at the White SULPHUR
Springs at Up. m. the same day. Under
the winter schedule they are to leave Hele-
ma at s a. m. and arrive at the Springs at II
m. on the following day. This will be a
great improvement on our present facilities,
but it is not yet what the interests Of our
county demands. We need a mail at least
six times per week, instead of three. The
business OF the county is rapidly increasing.
The regions beyond the mountains is fast
coming into notice, capitalists are seeking
our valley to invest in stock, and the de-
mand for a daily service is quite as urgenta as
any other part of the Territory. Yet we
must concede that our delegate has acted
wisely in not asking for more than he felt
able to secure, and our thanks are especial
ly due for his efforts in our behalf, and we
feel that after the service is commenced that
a petition setting forth the facts to the De-
partment would have his hearty support,
and we believe secure the additional SER
vice.
