Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1879-07-26

THE Meridian, Miss. Mercury says "the
SANDER that JEFF. Davis was captufed in
female attire by the United States sold
iers in pursuit of him is again refuted."
The southerners generally make desper-
ate efforts to falsify history on that point,
but the statement in reference to the
capture can never be successfully refut-
ed. Several of the officers and men who
made the capture are now living in
Michigan and their assertions that Davis
was in female attire are explicit and
unanswerable.

JUST as the alarm in Memphis about
the yellow fever had in measure sub
sided, fresh outbreak of the disease
created greater dismay than ever. The
cities along the rivers are establishing
quarantine and some of them entirely
prohibiting the fleeing citizens of Mem
phis from even passing through them,
or the landing of pound of freight. The
river towns are reported healthy but
thoroughly demoralized, and the people
are getting away from them as fast as
possible.

1T is settled that Ex-Governor Ram
sey, of Minnesota, is to be McCrary's sue
cessor as Secretary of War. The Presi-
dent has officially notified him, and re-
ceived an answer that he accepts. Al
most the entire Northwestern delegation
In Congress united in asking Ramsey's
appointment. The President at no time
deyiated from his purpose to give the
position to a Northwestern man, and
had Ramsey in his mind from the first.
General Sherman is greatly pleased with
the selection. The appointment is not
received with favor among Pennsylva-
mans. They desire the place for Har-
tranft, and claim that the President at
one time thought of appointing him.

had they succeeded in their ainputation OF

MONTANA GRAIN.
Wonderful SRMpIss From n Region
OF Country which Minneapolis
Hopes Soon to Reach.

Mr.. f. B. Andrews, general agent of the
Minneapolis Millers' association, is in re-
ceipt of some magnificent samples OF Mon
tana grain. which he delights in exhibiting
to those who call at his office. They were
sent him by the secretary of the Helena
board of trade. were all taken from grains
(thc product of the present season. ex-
hibited at the late Territorial fair held at
Helena. and include the following varie-
ties: Siberian white spring wheat; white
spring wheat: white louise spring wheat !:
Montana oats, tifty-five pounds to the
bushel; Montana oats, forty-scve1 pounds
to the BUSH; hull-less oats; white brewers
.two-rowcd barley. The wheat all weighed
over siXty-siX. pounds to the bushel, and
the OATS and barley were also Of magnifi-
cent growth and much finer quality than
we are accustomed TO see in Minnesota.
The hull-less oats would delight the eyes of
an oatmeal manufacturer, while the plump,
bright barley would make a brewer dance
for joy.
The letter accompanying these samples
states that their production is restricted
only 10y the lack of a market. or facilities
for transportation. Wheat is selling in
the Gallatin valley at fifty cents per BUSH
cl, and there will he a large surplus which
can't be disposed of even at that low fig
ure. and probably not at all. With the
Northern Pacific extended through that
region, as it soon will be. the products Of
Montana promise to be almost limitless,
and our milers will be enabled TO draw
upon that Territory to aid in supplying
their great flour establishments.

SOME OF OUR NEEDS,

st. Paul's future is certainty. The city
is bound to be great. Its location at the
head of navigation gives it the command of
an immense freightage which will supply
the needs of the whole Northwest. The
terminus of dozen railroad lines, it con-
centrates vast amount of business, which
is taken up and distributed to all quarters of
the new Northwest, and furnishes occupation
here for many hundreds of men. Nothwith-
standing its advantages, however, there is
much that is lacking to render the future of
the city what nature fitted it for, and prin-
cipal among these things is a lack of enter
prise and cohesion among our citizens.
Individually the citizens of st. Paul are as
enterprising as any in the country. They
expend money freely in rendering their
places of business attractive to the eye, and
lack nothing in advertising the advantages
they can offer to trade. But where it comes
to concerted action for the common good
they appear to be lacking. They apparently
fear that they may expend too much for the
benefit of others, and therefore withhold
that which would be for the common good.
A reform is needed in this direction. There
is no occasion to argue the question in a-y
of its bearings. Every citizen Understands
