Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1878-01-24

We are glad to note the interest manifest
ed by the people of Bitter Root and Nilsson
III, i the wagon road towards .Bannack.
The MissoulSan of the 18th contains the sub
scription list to the road, which. is, indeed
very creditable. The amount subscribed,
we believe, is sufficient to construct The
road, and the committee who have the work
in the charge are progressive energetic gen
rlemen and we feel confident that it will be
carried forward to completion at an early
day. This road will be,of great advantage
10 Bannack. and Missouia, and of incalcttla-
Die value to the Bitter Root valley. THIS is
alrendv one of the foremost sections in the
Territory. Its farmers have good comfort
allie. homes and are prospecting. With the

new thoroughfare to the south, the com
merce of the valley will be greatly e%nliven-
ed and the business redoubled. Immigra-
ton will soon gather in and fill up the va
cant leagues of rich agricultural lands.
Schools will be established. and churches
erected until it possesses all the social adj
yantages of the States.

SMITH R1vER-1Ts FLocKs AND HERDS.
NUMBER SEVEN.

The White Sulphur Springs are located
upon the south bank of the east branch of
Smith river, at the altitude of 5,155 feet
above the sea, near'the south east corner of
township No. 8, range 6 east, close to the
foot of the. Belt mountains and upon the di-
rect road leading from. Camp Baker to the
Muscleshell, Judith, Carroll, Colson and
Tongue river. Originally they were called
Big Medicine Springs, a name. substitute. in
place of the various crooked names by which
they were called by the Indian tribes who, it
is said, use. to come hundreds of miles with
their families and camp for months upon the
surrounding plain, to enjoy their healing
virtues. So widely were they known, and
so famous was the surrounding country as a
hunting ground, that Smith River valley
and the adjacent country was never recog-
nized as the lands of any particular Indian
tribe. By the southern and western Indians
it was termed a /" free land" to which they
Travelled from their far off countries over the
well marked trails that lead out across the

directions, and spent their idle days in hold.
ing "pow-wows' and mingling together
fishing and hunting. With the northern
and eastern. Indians they were termed "
kind of disputed +possessions,'' and often
this much priced resort and hunting
grounds were made the scene of hard fought
battles. dim traces of which3are still visible.
My first visit here was when returning
from an Indian expedition in '6S. Then the
pool was small, but the bathroom was
leagues in extent, had a high ceiling, and,
though the refreshing March winds gushed
through the open window, the bath was
pleasant. Their discovery, however, dates,
further back than this, for I believe rs early
as 1865 it was the custom of miners, pros
pectors and hunters passing in the vicinity
to call by and indulge in a luscious swim.

OUR Helena contemporaries, we see. are
still agitating the question of a direct wagon
road to Butte. This matter has been under
consideration Ivy the people of the metropo-
lis and the great silver city for, the past, Is
months, but thus far there l,as-been but lit
tie accomplished. We are a little surprised
to see such enterprising cities outstripped
10y the handful of grangers ON the Bitter

a road they put their mites together and set
about the work.

WE publish elsewhere the proceedings of
aemass meeting in Custer county, protesting
against their, separation from Montana.
Such a disposition would certainly place
them in as inconvenient a situation as is now
experienced by the people of the Black
Hills. Besides, in a mountainous country
rivers do not form the proper boundaries for
States and Territories ;:they should be reg
ulated by mountain ranges. The people of
the same valley haveidentical interests, and
it is much easier for them to cross rivers
than ranges of mountains. TO make a divi-
sion of, the Yellowstone valley would GER
tainly be unWise, If it becomes necessary
to reduce the limits of our Territory, the
water shed between the tributaries Of the
Yellowstone, and the Platte orthe Cheyenne
would form the natural boundary. Much
Inconvenience would have been avoided in
our county affairs had this rule been adopt
ed in the locating of their boundaries.

Jerome Park Races.

The spring races which begin at Jerome
Park tomorrow promise to be among the
best and most interesting events of the
kind that have been held on this famous
course Many well known horses are an
nounced to compete, the prizes are large.
the track is in superb condition, while all
the arrangements for the convenience and
comfort OF the thousands Of persons who
will attend are as perfect as long expert
ence and sincere desire to please could
possibly make them. There are few race
tracks in the country which possess more
natural advantages and beauties than
Jerome Park, and ut this season Of the year,
when the woods and fields have put on the
garniture Of summer, the drive to and from
il through Central Park is one of the mos
charming to be found anywhere. Attractive
MS it is at all times it will be doubly so
tomorrow and Saturday. The spring meet
ing is always the occasion Of the last grand
reunion Of the world Of fashion aud beauty
previous to its summer flight to Newport
and Saratoga and q hundred other seaside
and mountain resorts. During the two
days Of this week and the three of next
when the races are held it will be the mag
net of the metropolis, drawing TO it the
beauty, fashion and wealth Of the city in
addition to the generous patrons and sup
portors OF the turf AS in France and Eng
land the race course has become one of the
best and most popular of our sources of
amusement, and is every year, under its
present excellent management, growing
more and more in public favor. jerome
Park is Justly famous as one OF the best
conducted tracks in tho world, and the
coming meeting will, we have no doubt,
give il an additional claim to popular favor,
and add to the dcservedly high reputation
OF its managers.

there had been any danger Of this result
they would have found some pretence for
protesting against and disqualifying the
ATLANTA as well as the Nautilus crew.
The most comical feature OF this make-be-
lieve amateur regatta is, however, to be
found in tho fact that while. those who con-
troll it are assuming to disqualify rs ''ama-
tours" such oarsmen as they have reason to
fear, they are engaged in a contest which in
reality makes them all professionals, and
would be positive bar against their recep-
ton in England as amateurs They are
rowing one and all for money prizes, which
is prohibited strictly by all amateur rules
in every country. A wealthy gentleman
who is at the head of the Watkins Glen
Rowing Club offers as prizes enough money
to pay the expenses Of the winning crews to
Europe; in other words, these famous and ex-
elusive amateurs are rowing for their passage
money and their board and lodging bills
The prizes are SO many dollars with which
to pay their expenses when they so over to
Henley to represent themselves ''ama-
teur" oarsmen Of the United States. OF
course the fact that they have rowed for
money will absolutely dis4ualify them as
amateurs in Europe, no amateur being al
lowed to row directly or indirectly for
money or gain of any kind other than hon
orable medals, colors or cups. 1t makes no
difference whether the money that is now
being rowed for at Seneca Lake goes directly
into the pockets Of these sensitive 'ama-
tours OF is used to pay their lodging, board
and washing bills. 1t is money prize all
the same, and the act Of entering into such
who pulls an oar in them.
