Benton, May 16.
A TRIP TO THE GALLATTN.

Starting out Of Diamond early in the
morning, we rolled along over the dry, hard
road toward Centerville, passing farm
houses of every description, from the neat
and home-like cottage, surrounded by trees,
with a handsome bluegrass yard in front,
to the old tumble-down log hut, with the
ground plowed up clear to the door and
only a narrow trail left for egress.
We reached Bedford Just in time to con-
meet with the Bozeman stage. Although
this (Bozeman & Helena) line does much
more business than the Helena 81 Sulphur
Springs line their coaches, (if it is proper to
call them such), and stock do not begin to
compare with those on the latter route.
This company still cling to the '.jerk-'emr'
anu tWo-horse teams. AS soon as we en-
tered the vehicle we recognized it as one
winch an insane man, going from Raiders
Durg to Helena about w years ago, had
stripped of its lining. leaving it nothing but
a skeleton. We reached R%adersburg by
noon, and changed to another coach, which
was a slight Improvement on the first, but
there was still plenty OF room for improve
ment. One of the curtains looked as though
1t had at one time done service as a seam
less sack, and had upon it, Nick Kessler,
care Ed. K. & Co., Corinne, Utah" In
the front part of the coach was nailed a
boardupon which was the following legend:
Use G. E. Andrews & Co.'s Pearl Baking
PoWder. Absolutely pure" Whether the
stage company are acting Us agents for An
drews d Co., or just doing this for the pub
lie good, we are unable to say.

lofty mountains and in sight Of our beauti-
tul valleys who does not.enioy the grand

might as we'll be for all the good his eyes do
him. 1t is a constant feast to the eye, but
continually reminds lis, by the striking con-
trast, of our own littleness, and causes us,
almost involuntarily, to exclaim with the
Psalmist, =" What is mar that Thou consid-
crest him, or the son of man, that Thou art
mindful Of him ~ and yet we call ourselves
'the lords of CREATION"
We found everybody busy on the Gala
tin, putting in their crops. The acreage
sown will be fully as large as in any former
year, but 1T is doubtful it the yield will be
SO large as In some former years, on account
of the very dry, cold spring. The Wire
worms have lone considerable damage: We
noticed one field in particular where they
had destroyed fully half of the crop, but
this was on Sod land, and they may not have
been SO destructive elsewhere. Fall wheat
looks fine and bids fair to yield heavily.
The Presbyterian church, on the West
Gallatin, half way between Central Park
and Hamilton, is an ornament to the valley,
and Rev. L.. b. Crittenden deserves great
credit for his energy and perseverance in
pushing it to completion, as also do the peo-
pie of that section for their aid in erecting
such a c~ommodious and substantial church
building in the valley. 1t is built of con-
crete, and is a large building tor a country
church in Montana. The furniture was pur-
chased in the states, and is both comfortable
and handsome.
Y. A. Cockirell has put in a new bridge
across one branch of the West Gallatin, and
has his other bridges in good condition.
Barton & Nixon have their bridges, at the
old Nixon ford on West Gallatin, completed,
and they are said to be as substantial as any
in the territory. They have also graded a
road up the, east side of the East Gallatin.
which will be dry and passable at all times
Of the year.
Stock cattle are selling in this valley at
about $l4 per head. Some calves are still
dying in the valley, it is thought from black
leg. Some are also dying Oh the Yellow
stone, as low down as Shields river.
Nelson Story has just received a lot of
fine jacks and jennys from Missouri. and,
we understand, intends to devote a good
deal OF attention to raising mules, he having
had tor a number of years, a large band of
mares.
we found Bozeman quite lively. Prepa-
rations are making for the erection of two
business houses on Main street, and
we were told that as soon as lumber and
brick could be procured considerable build
ing would be done. s.

the quick winds which came that night.
We had to swap for the coy camping

We had to swap for the coy camping
place, and had we not done so it would
have been a rough night for us. The swap
was with some half dozen blacktail deer,
who reluctantly gave US their hiding place
for a 1000 acre grass field down on the
plain. california" my travelling compan-
ion, thought we should have about one deer
"to boot" on the swap, but finally the ant
Tered monarchs of the hills scampered off,
giving us possession. The second night
was spent at Ming's ranch, a lovely spot On
the bank of Smith river, where we were
kindly cared for by the 'boss" herder, Mr..
Leeper. The third night found us at our
old-time-triend, +. Hackshaw's, who lives
by the banks of the beautiful Belt river.
Here we rested a day, spending the time so
pleasantly that we regretted to see the part
ing hour. While there we paid a visit to
Smith & Kartner's coal bank, some seven
miles up the river. It is the largest coal
mine yet discovered In the mountains. The
vein is seven feet wide and runs nearly level
into the hill. A strata of coal 20 inches
thick at the bottom Of the vein is most ex-
cellent for blacksmith use, equal, [ believe,
to any found in North America, The other
part of the vein, except a few inches, of
slate, is excellent for fuel. The main tunnel
in this mine is 300 feet into the earth. The
proprietors haul to Benton, where they find
a good market for their coal at $l2 per ton.
The settlement on Belt river is limited. and

IHE immigration will in no wise effect
the production of field or dairy this season.
and as our population is being greatly aug
mented and new industries spring into ex-
%1stence, our farmers may safely calculate
upon good prices. Dairy products will
probably be much lighter this year than
usual and the prices will, doubtless be firm.
Grain may rule a shade lower, but we do
not look for any great decline. In fact, the
signs of the times indicate that the price of
farm products will not descend to the beg
carly level OF the states for a number of
years. Those now tilling the soil, and who
are contemplating it, may go ahead with
good cheer.

The refreshing showers Of late have en-
livened vegetation, and mountain and plat
are carpeted with green, yet the indication
are that the grass crop will be light com
pared with that of other years, and shoult
our predictions prove true our stock-mel
IN thickly settled valleys will find it emf
nently to their advantage to use some econ
omy with their pasturage. Upon oul
mountain slopes are thousands of acres o
the finest grass land in the world-a wilder
ness of stock feed that is never cropped
This vast extent of country is buried deer
beneath the n in winter, andi if rendered
of any service must be pastured in summer.
Stock-men, by driving their flocks and herds
to these ranges in summer will preserve
their low land pasturage for winter. On
the frontier, where there is unlimited space,
this is a matter of no concern, but some of
our valleys are closely grazed and of a short
grass season every care should be taken to
preserve the range for winter. Ordinarily
there has been an abundance of feed both
summer and winter, but if the usual June
teAAAo Ad1l no III oCdcOu, WIIiCII SGCLlS very
probable, the grass will be short, and if
continually grazed during summer there
will be suffering among the stock OF some
sections before grass comes again.
10 effect anything by a move to the high
mountain ranges during summer it will be
necessary to have concert of action, as the
removal of a few herds will make but little
difference. In neighborhoods where stock
associations have been formed a general
movement may be effected. Other sections
should meet and come to an understanding
in regard to the matter, as they do about
.round-ups. A movement of this kind will
prevent the necessity Of moving stock to
the frontier this fall, should our fears in re-
gard to short grass be realized.
Flock-maste can adopt this rule with
ease. Every flock should be driven to the
snowy region as soon as shearing is over.
and kept there until the winter SHOWS drive
them down. Cattle men think since. cattle
are left to roam at large, that driving to the
hills is useless. This is a mistake. During
the roundup every hoof of stock is driven
to the valleys and left there, andsit is a no
ticeable fact that they remain, where there
is no round up, most generally among the
hills. Cattle naturally seek the high pla-
teaus in spring and many will remain there
II left to themselves. The flies, herd them
together In ravines and small valleys, but
they are not much inclined to seek the man
valleys. 1t is therefore very unwise to herd
them together in a roundup on the winter
range and leave them there, as fly time sets
in soon after the roundup is over, which
will prevent their scattering among the hills.
Cattle owners, as well as sheep owners.
drive to the hills and high mountains
for summer.

HE rumors afoat in regard to an extra
session Of the legislature at an early day
are, we think, groundless. An appropria-
ton from Congress to defray the expenses
OF such q session is hardly possible. Be-
sides, an exemption, the alleged purpose of
the session, would not pass unless largely
petitioned for by the people.

The House Committee on Appropriations
authorized its chairman TO frame a bill and
report it to tho House with the favorable
recommendation OF the committee. The
provisions Of the bill are, that 10 cities Of
10000 inhabitants and over there shall be
two classes OF etter-carriers-the first class
shall receive 5000, the second class $500 !;
and all carriers in cities under $4,000 popu-
lation shall receive $500 per annum. The
Postmaster-General is empowered to desis-
nate in any city or cities auxiliary carriers
at $500 per year, and provisions are made
for the appointment of substitute carriers
at the nominal rate OF 81 per year, who
shall receive the pro rata pay of regular
carriers for the duties performed. This
service may be extended to any city of not
less than 10000 population, providing it
shall not interfere with the Tree delivery in
any city where it now exists. The measure
anpropriates an additional sum of $4,000
to pay the increase of pay for the next fis-
cal year. 1t also recommends the appro-
priation OF $4,000 in round numbers 10
pay the deficiency for carriers in second
class cities during the present fiscal year.
