sThe question is often asked by our friends
in the States, "What can q man do in Mon
tana ?" We will answer by example. In
1872 Capt. Cadge left Cave gulch for Lower
Smith river with two mares and II head OF
COWS, where he located a ranch, and has
since done but little, except tend and brand
their increase. Many of his friends lauged
at the idea of his commencing the stock
business with such a small beginning, bu'
the sequel proves that he did wisely ant
well. This summer he branded so head O
: calves, and will brand 80 or 40 more before
the first OF October; besides has over II
head of horses. Last spring lie was Offered
= 81 900 in cash for his herds and ranch, b.

the preponderance Of evidence against
him, and proceeded 10 make careful
examination Of bis prima iacic cadav-

The cbampion Fish Story Of the Season.

Living at Clear Lake is family
who have little girl who takes daily
rides on the lake in small skiff drawn
by two pickerel. They are regularly
harnessed and by means Of lines she
is enabled to guide them in any direc,
ton desired. The fish are about three
feet in length, weigh between seven
and eight pounds each and are very
powerful. The rapidity with which
they skim through water with the
boat and its precious cargo is said to
exceed in swiftness the fastest sail
boat that has been placed on the lake,
and it is proposed to send for Hanlan
and Ross, the champion scufers, and
match the fish against them in four
mile race. When the girl has tired OF
riding she drives the pickereI to a
boat-house, where they are unhar-
messed, taken into commodious glass
aquarium, made expressly for them,
and fed. When she visits the tank to
harness them for a ride, the pickerel
jump almost i4to her arms, 50 glad,
apparently, are they to see her. The
young Miss has been offered 81 00O
for her strange team, but no money
would induce her TO part with them.
