first located. Musselsheil cattle growers,
though the prior settlers by ten years. do
not offer resistance to sheep, but look upon
their coming as an inevitable consequence
of progress. Many of them say that they
had as SOON be crowded by sheep as cattle,
and we very much regret that the same feel
ing does not prevail in Gallatin.
Our country must fill up with people, and
our vast pastoral lands be utilized. We
cannot prevent this il we would, and would
motif we could, and our people must make up
their minds to abide the consequences.
Let local differences be settled by mutual
agreement, and every citizen labor to pro-
mote the public good.

The series of articles, ''Moving a Regi-
ment,' by our esteemed friend Captain Cliff
ford, are concluded in this issue. These ar
ticles are very finely written, being filled
with life and merriment, and our readers
have followed them with unusual interest,
and will regret that they have drawn to a
close. They will be pleased to learn, how
ever. that the captain has in course of prep
aration for our columns the Champaign of
1876" This narrative will contain the SUBJ
ject matter of the proposed book of Lieut..
Bradley. as it was to have been prepared
from Clifford's journal. Written in the
Captains entertaining style it will be worth
many times the price of our paper. Let all
who would like to learn of the adventures
of this memorable campaign and the par
ticulars of the fall OF the Inflated Custer
send in their orders at once. @.

+ RUSSIAN ladies' are often inveterate smok-

and other points of transit, scratch their

frequently ask men for a light from their c-

Mutual interests demand that these sec

the trade of Meagher county, she cannot
get it by trying to injure her. It must be
done by holding out substantial inducements.

The Governors message is an able docu-
naent. The different interests of the terri.
tory are pretty thoroughly reviewed, and
many important recommendations calculat.
ed to insure a more economical administers
ton of our county affairs, and thereby re-
duce the burden Of taxation materially, are
made. These recommendations are mainly
well founded, and we'll worth the considera-
ton of our Lawmakers. His recommends
tons in regard to requiring assessors to list
every man, whether a property owner or
not, call for prompt action, as at least one-
third of the voters in the territory are not
upon the tax book. A law requiring liti-
giants to pay the costs in civil suits is also
very important. Such is required at pres
ent in all cases under the Jurisdiction of jus
tees and probate courts, but the taxing of
costs Of large suits to the community is an
unjust discrimination in favor of capital.
The reduction of the fees of county officers
should be carefully looked into. Many are
at present not receiving more than is justly
due for their labors, but in the more popu-
lous counties there are those who receive
much more than good, Industrious men can
command at any other business, which cam
not but be considered exhorbitant. In fact,
it wonld be well il tile major portion of the
recommendations were drafted into bills,
with slight notifications, and passed.
1t was our intention to have furnished our
readers with the message in the form of a
supplement, but the Independent, who had
it in type, were unable to 10 the press-work
owing to a rush OF business, and it is too
lengthy to publish In our regular issue. Our
columns being crowded with correspond
ence or legislative matters even precludes
a further review.

EDITO RIAL NOTES AND J0TTINGs FROM
THE CAPITAL.

Thus tar the House members have been
more active in introducing bills. A strong
desire is manifested to do something i'm the
way OF law making that will promote the
several branches Of stock-growing, but as
yet nothing definite has been agreed upon.
There are a number of cattle and sheep
owners in both House and Council, and as
yet all appear to work in harmony with
each other, and we confidently expect good
results from their deliberations.
For the first two or three days the mo-
mentous question with this body was that
of determining whether or not it should adj
iourn sine die. The adjournment was ar
gued on the grounds that the appropriation
was insufficient for printing. At first there
was a majority in favor of the resolution,
but, after the letting off of a considerable
amount OF gas, it was lost. This was fol-
lowed by a debate OH the question of ac-
cepting the proposition to print bills, etc.
by Kerley, McQuaid & LaCroix. The
proposition to give one-half to the Fisk
Bros. was finally voted down, and the indie
pendent came off victorious. The vote was
almost partisan, Mr.. Thorpe, Of Meagher,
voting with the Republicans, not, however,
as he stated for political reasons, but upon
ssconscientious'' grounds, he believing that
the legislature had no legal right to pass
the act. This subject brought out a con-
siderable amour Of speech-making, in
which the records and claims of the L,dc-
pendent and Herald on partisan grounds
We're ably ventilated by their respective
friends.
CUSTER COUNTY.
House joint resolution No. / has passed
both houses. 1t legalizes the acts of the
Governor in appointing county commits
sioners and organizing Custer county.
Council bill No. 8 concerning estray
horses, and in relation to schools provides
that school boards shall advertise all estray
horses found in their respective districts at
least once a year, and it imposes q penalty
for each failure to enforce this law, or the
Montana school law, of $50. The law is
wise in the provision Of penalties, as it is
impossible to make 4 law effectual without
imposing a penalty. There should, howev-
er. be a penalty imposed on all persons who
fail to report estrays in their possession, or
on their premises 10 said boards of school
directors.
REGARDING BUTCHERS.
House bill No. 3, introduced by E. @.
Brook, of Jefferson county, provides that
butchers shall be required to record the

WE learn that there IL q project on loot TO
Telnov the Crow nation from their resarva-
ton south Of the Yellowstone to the Judith
and Musselshel. 1t is said that the Crows,
who have always objected to the measure.
are now willing to 60. The projectors Of
the movement are iaboring under the hallu-
cination that the Bruno treaty Is still in
force, and that the transfer may be readily
made. The treaty was never legal, and no
move can be made under it, and a new
treaty will not be- made. For, however
careless the Government may be in regard
to its white subjects, it is hardly to be sup
posed that it will dispossess them Of the
lands to which they have already acquired
title to give them to the Indians. The Mus
selshell and Judith region is OF vastly
more importance to Montana than the Crow
reservation. however inviting it may be. Its.
agricultural and pastoral resources ; it's coal
and timber ii close proximity to the Mis-
souri, river. renderit of infinitely more value
than any section south Of the Yellowstone.
Somebody may have an axe to grind, but
the people Of Montana will not be likely to
sit still and see an Indian reservation remloy-
ed from the border to the very heart OF the
t~erritory--to Il district unsurpassed III fertil-
ity and beauty.
The sentiments promulgated by Charles
Ancely, III 4 late number OF the Avaat Couy-
ser, in regard to the pastnrage of cattle and
sheep are by no means calculated to pro-
mote harmony among stock interests, and
should be disconntenanced by every we'll
wished OF the country, and friend of peace
and prosperity. The less publicity is given
10 such sentiments, the more harmony
will be promoted among our stock and wool
growers. II, In the course of events. any
settler of any section concludes to change
his business and engage in wool-growing,
he has Il perfect right to do SO. These In
tefests may organize and form such agree
ments as may be deemed expedient, but one
has the same rights as the other, aud no evil
can be remedied or compromise effected by
harsh utterances or vagne i%nsinaations.
The sheep and cattle men OF Meagher
county get along tremendously. There arc
$4,000 head of sheep and 1900 cattle in,
Smith river valley, and yet We hear OF no
disturbance. Sheep do not destroy these
ranges. The Cook Bros. range, which has
been pastured since 1872, Is better to-day,
and produces more grass per acre than when

NEWSPAPERS, as well as public men,
should have one straightforward course to
pursue. A journal that is wishy-washy,
and turns to the dictates of this one and
that one, is not weighed in the scale with
much respect.
Since the commencement the HUSBAND
MAN, it has maintained one answering
course. Its efforts have been towards the
material advancement OF the territory in
every honorable way. 1t has made a record
Of which we are ~proud-that of boldness in
advocating what we thought to be right and
for the best interests of Montana.
On the subject of railroads, it has been
outspoken and straightforward, opposing
every measure that was calculated to bur-
den the people without a remuneration.
We opposed the granting of a subsidy for
the reasons that we stated at the time. In
doing so, we defined our position, which
we have but to repeat to give understand
ingly our position on the question Of ex-
emption now: At that time, when there
was a great pressure in favor of granting a
subsidy, we stated emphatically that we
could not support the measure, but we did
say: Had the proposition been presented
in the shape OF releasing the narrow-gauge
from taxation for a term OF years, we would
offer no resistance - believing. as we did,
that such a proposition was the only one
our territory could entertain, and that it
would be fortunate in getting off so light.
Whether or not the Utah and Northern
railroad will come to the heart of Montana
in tlse event Of a failure to grant the exemp-l
ton, we do not know. Looking at it in a
business way-and we suppose, of course,
Gould and his company do this-we would
consider it a somewhat risky business to
come here to the head of navigation and
compete with the free and deep waters of
the Missouri and Yellowstone. TO say the
least OF it, the project would be embarrass-
ing in the face of such a radical change of
feeling and strong opposition as now APP
pears to exist.
Our columns are open for the discussion
of this subject, and we will be glad to hear
from our friends. especially those who urged
the passagefof the subsidy acts u few years
ago.

"IT rs true,o says our narrow-minded con-
temporary, at Benton, ssthat while Carroll
and the Mussclshell were available as points
Of export Mcagher county had many excel
lent advantages for raising sheep and dis
posing Of wool but since the collapse Of
Carroll, there has been no outlet to the wool
markets of the east that can be used with
profit by the producers, except the head of
navigation md Benton.'
II also speaks Of large flocks of sheep
moving TO Chotean county, OF the superior
ityso the range, lower taxes, etc. We are
nor surprised at the bitter sectional spirit of
our contemporary-this has characterized
that journal since its first issue-but it Is
strange that it should be SO short-sighted as
to turn to abuse the facilities and interests
of Meagher county Just at a time when
Benton merchants are endeayoring to win
their favor and patronage.
Carroll and Musselshell are available

of our wool viii 60 that way.
If the Benton people We're sufficiently

ducts through their town and thereby catch

misstating the case. Taxes in Choteau are
