evening" and night at the pleasant home OF

the valley, and a well-to-do farmer, TOOK
the road leading up the south slde OF warm
snrinr creek. calling on the farmers along
the way, and leaving those on the nof'h
side OF that stream and further down the
valley until my return. Above MIR. Ihohias
and out to the mountains which stanu pach
some distance, are some scattering 1aFaas
and large tracts of fine land yet unclaimed.
The home OF Hon. c. s. Bagg is near
where the creek energies from the NOUN
tains. Notwithstanding his hair gray with
the are and care of a long lite, he seemed
active. in fine health, and good for many
more wears of valuable service. He has en-
larged and improved his tarm and home;
has an excellent crop of oats, wheat, ana
golden millet. This is the first mllIet have
seen growing in Montana. From his place
the valley is only wide enough for one tier
of farms, and these are, indeed, very, very
good.
First above Mr.. Dagg is Alex. Glover,
who has only served a year or w at farm
ing, but has been very fortunate, as his
fields of ripening grain show.
Above him are the homes OF j.. Stuckey
C. V. Jones. These gentleman have tine
farms and excellent crops. Mr. Stuckey's
place has been much improved since last
year. He has a cozy home and q fine grain
field. The last named gentleman was ab-
sent from home, but things looked we'll
thereabouts, except that lonely bachelor
hood seemed to still reign. WILL.

The Helena party accommodating down
the Missouri, returned to-day by the north
ern coaches, after an absence OF nine days.
They report Il pleasant trip and the entire
feasibility Of steamer navigation above and
below the Falls. Slight Improvements, at
small cost, at one or two points only, will
readily admit the running Of boats from the
portage to Stubb's ferry, opposite Helena.
The gentlemen are enthusiastic over the
practical success of upper river steam trans
portation as demonstrated by careful inyes-
tigation. The scenery. is pronounced the
grandest anywhere on the Missouri.

direction we will there IRE steams without
bridges, grades that are siding, too narrow,
or too steep. aud districts where the boul-
ders need removing. We are also in need
of + great number of new roads. Montana
is sadly dependent upon wagon frailsporta-
ton in matters of freight, and upon coaches
for public conveyance. In nearly every com
odity we buy or sell, amp everywhere we go
we feel the influence of bad roads to q great
er or less degree. 1t is a matter that con-
Germs not only those who are shipping large
" too and fro, and whose business calls
them frequently from place to place, but it
effects every citizen and all should become
Interested. We want roads wide enough
for loaded teans to pass, roads with easy
Grade and smooth, so that We can freight
or drive over them light without breaking
down our wagons or other vehicles or wear
inc out our teams. Our rivers, creeks rlyu-
lets and rills, should be bridged with good
substantial bridges that will stand high Wa
ter. Our road law is incomplete or wrong.

should be under the immediate supervision
of the county commissioners. Let this body
employ supervisors and direct the work, OF
lee the work by contract as seems best.
Roads should be properly located and sur
yeyed so as 10 avoid heavy hills, and when
the work is done it will be a permanent
benefit. We have been content with tenn
porary things long enough. and it is time
we were casting about to make permanent

THE advantages which Carroll possesses
over Benton as a shipping point, has long
been understood by those fully acquainted
with both routes, as may be readily seen
from the following table furnished us by the
Coulson steamboat line:

NUMBER OF DAYS.

NUMBER OF MILES.
Bismarck to
Carroll to
The distance from Carroll to Eastern
Montana is less than to Benton, and the
road is equally as good, and a great portion
of the season is much better. The distance
from Carroll to Helena is greater than from
Benton to Helena, but the superiority of the
roads coupled with difference in cost Of
navigation will always command for Carroll
4 large share of Helena freight after mid
summer Wool, hides, ores etc, can be
shipped from Carroll any season as late as
October 1st, with a certainty. Last season
Carroll had a boat as late as October 25th,
late and perhaps later this fall.

IN THE MESHES.
A Linguistic sw ndlsr in the Toils-NOvel
kind Of Larceny-His Arrest in ssers-
mento.

On the 2Sth or Goth of December
a man who has been for some time
past known about Los Angeles
under the names of a. Nowy,
alias Edgar, alias Roman, went to
Mr.. E. German and requested the
loan of his spring wagon. He de-
sired, he said, to go to Pasadena.
He obtained Mr.. Germain's wagon,
hitched mis- own horse to it but, in
stead of hieing him to Pasadena,
be hauled the vehicle to the
Southern Pacific depot and shipped
1T to sacramento. He next applied
to Mr.. GuilIory and borrowed his
wagon, shipping it also to Sacra-
mento. Both wagons were ell
route to Sacramento on the 30th
uit. Nowy next proceeded to make
himself scarce. 1t is supposed that
he ingrstiated himself with these
gentlemen, and others who trusted
him, by his linguistic attachments,
he speaking English, French, Ger
man and Russian fuently.
Chief of Police Harris at once
applied himself to working up the
case. He ascertained the fact of
the shipment of the wagons to
sacramento by Nowy, and at once
telegraphed to Chief of Police Ste
vens, of that place, to be on the
lookout for the swln,ler. Day be-
fore yesterday Harris received
telegram from Chief Stevens in
forming him that the wagons had
arrived and would be held s inject
to Los Angeles order. Last night u
second dispatch arrived informing
Mr.. Harris that Nowy Was ia GUS

will thus shortly have an 0pporIu.

The Los Angeles Workingmen.

AT the request Of the Working
mems Club No. l., of Los Angeles,
we cheerfully give place TO the fol-
lowing:
To the People Of Los angeles city
and County, the Workingmen'S
Club No l, Of Los angeles, res
pecJully submit the following
facts:
Flrst--Ihat hundreds of our own
people, white and colored citizens
nfthis country, male aud female,are
suffering for the need OF abor, to
earn all honest livelihood; some
from necessity becoming tramps,
aud others from the same cause,
consigned to our jails; and all this
as consequence of the substitution
of the labor Of the Chinaman (who
is invariably non settler) and
takes all that is paid to him, and
sends it out of the country, and out
vi lOIeNeT.
Second--If this Chinese popula-
ton had been replaced from the
beginning by citizen workmeu, our
population might have been to day
two millions instead of half q mil
non; thereby developing the I'M
equaled resources of our State, in
creasing it's trade in every depart
mont beyond all computation, ami
adding to the individual wealth and
welfare of our citizens.
In view of the above brief and I'M
deniable statements, we respect
fully but earnestly request our cti-
zens to substitute as soon as posi-
ble american citizen labor. in
every department., Instead of Chi
nese labor; thus showing them
selves to be the friends of the work.
ingmen, on whom their own trade
and welfare depend.
We know, those who have al
ready done this, and will know and
patronze them as our friends, and
we trust, that all persons of good
sense, and havir g at heart the well
fare of our people, and the material
advancement Of our country at
large, will give us no cause of com.
plant, in refusing to comply with
this reasonable and humane re-
quest.
In this way, We, the working
men of Los Angeles, hope to settle
this exciting and all important La
Dor Question: a mode that will, or
may be peaceable, honorable and
rational, and worthy of the capital
list and the working man of our
free and progressive country.
DO this, men and women of our
beautiful city and county, and you
shall never regret your generosity
and Justice to your brothers and SIS
tiers, the working men and women
of America
BY unanimous vote of said Club
you are requested to publish the
above, as being friendly to the
working man.
