We learn from the Enterprise
that the Democratic Executive
Committee of st. Mary Parish, has
called mass meeting of the mem
beers OF that party, to take place at
Franklin, on the 14th inst, lyester-
day. for the purpose of choosing
delegates to q Senatorial District
Convention, to elect the two cantti-
dates for district delegates.
st. Mary looks to the district
delegates, as the representatives OF
the voice of the democrats of that
parish, and the Enterprise urges
that able and sound men be sent to
the district convention.

Unless in some way relieved, there will be
great distress in Ireland during the coming
Winter. The potato crop has failed and peat,
which is the dependence of the country for
fuel, is scarce. England could send food to
Ireland at less cost than sending troops, but
England will send troops and America will
send food to relieve the famine. IN

70 THE wooL-GRowERssoF MONTANA.

The eastern wool markets are dull as they
generally are at this time. Holders are
anxious to reduce stocks before new woods
begin to arrive, and prices, therefore, are in
buyers favor. Flocks are supposed to be
small. Prices Tor new woods are expected
to be lower than last year.
The California clip is the first large clip TO
come on the eastern markets, and prices paid
here will give an idea as to the probable
range of price for new woods generally
This year the clip is late arriving, as rain has
delayed shearing. Too little wool has ar
rived to make any market. When prices
are fairly established we will give you quo
tations for this year and in 1878. Samples
of these prices will give you some idea of
what you may expect to getfor your woods.
We hope you will give us this year. the
chance to buy or ship your wool for you.
We will pay a fair price, but we do not care
to buy unless we can make a reasonable
profit. We think wool-growing in Montana
is in its infancy. we intend TODD business
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1879-04-10

in such a way that our business will increase
as the clip does. If you prefer shipping
your wool and taking the chances OF the
market, we can ship it to the same house to
which we send our California and Montana
wool. They will sell it as if the wool'was
our own. We find in shipping California
wool that it pays us best not to send woods
to two houses in the same market as we suf-
fer from the, competition in selling. BY
confirming shipments of Montana woods to as
few houses as possible, you and we will be
the gamers.

A MALADY dangerous to the lite of the
harvest king has made it's appearance dur
ing the mild summer days Of the past week.
Fortunately, however, for Montana, owing
to her altitude, her dry crisp air, and her
gentle western zephyrs which fan the sweat
from the brow Of labor. this disease appears
here only in a mild form. 1t is noticeable
the. Instant it lays hold pom its victim. The
step at once loses its elasticity; the express
sion becomes languid the patient is prone
to seek street corners and sunny spots is
~listless, shiftless, and if attacked by an
aggravated type, soon.becomes shirtless. The
malady is commonly known as Spring fever.
Let lis rejoice that the miller forms only
prevail in our climate.

BUT a few weeks more and our Missouri
river steamers will begin to arrive at the
head of navigation, bringing people seeking
homes. Give them a cordial welcome.
There is room for thousands, and fertile soil
for them to till, and miles of pastoral land
ungrazed. Give them any information they
may need. Cheerfnlly assist them in their
undertaking; they are to become our friends
and neighbors. Remember, we were once
strangers in a strange land, and how I'M
comfortable it was to find none save the
%treacherous savage to greet us, and who did
it in a way not likely to be forgotten. There
is, at present, abundant demand tor labor.
and industries in which all who come may
engage and receive remuneration.

LETTERS from Jay Gould and others, in

LETTERS from Jay Gould and others, in
dictate that the progress of the Utah d
Northern railroad will be made Montana
ward slowly, and that it will not probably
get farther thar Pleasant valley this season.
If this be true, the company have, perhaps,
determined to build only to the southern
boundary Of our territory, and there await
territorial aid, as predicted by us some
months since. But they have sinned away
their day of grace. With the Northern Pa
ciic on a good financial basis, and pushing
up the Yellowstone towards the base of the
Rockies, our people are not likely to lend
much aid to the Union Pacific company.

WE believe some of our enterprising mill
ers would find it profitable to put up ma
chinery for the manufacture Of oatmeal.
Once introduced, it would soon become one
of our common articles of food. 1t is very
wholesome diet, and quite palatable. The
hardy Highlanders Of Scotland make oat-
meal one Of the principal articles of their
diet, and they are as rugged and stalwart a
people as car be found anywhere, which
is an evidence of it's great nutritive quail
ties. 1t would, besides, increase our variety
of breadstuffs, which is most, desirable. A
variety OF diet is most conducive to health.

MONTANA.

EASTERN MONTANA.
The following extract from a letter writ
ten by a gentleman who was with Towards
cammand in his campaign against the Nez-
perces in 1877, will give our readers an idea
of the value an6 extent of that part of east
ern Montana and Meagher county lying
against the eastern slope of the Little Snowy
mountains:
1T was an easy days ride from the Vel
lowstone by the trail over to the banks of
the Musselshe1l, the country along~the way
being rolling, and the highest summit be-
ing near the south bank of that stream.
The table lands that overlook this stream
are high, but the bottoms along the banks
are broad and tertile-from one-fourth Of a
mile to one mile and a half wide. Numer-
Gus streams put in from the north side, and
at their confluence the valleys are wide and
very beautiful. The soil is excellent, tim
Der is plentiful and the grass superb. Itray-
eled for a day down the river and through
it, en%deavoring to keep a close watch for
Indians. My mind was often carried away
by the charming country that met my view.
The finest view witnessed upon this men,
orable trip was what is known as the Flat
Willow country. A long bench land ridge
lies between the Musselshell and the south
fork Of Flat Willow, but it is not chad
land,' like that on the south side Of the
Musselshell, nor is it covered with stones.
Some of the ridges coming down are skirted
with scrubby pines, and occasionally some
hard wood, and about the heads OF the
coolies and creeks plum bushes are plentis
full. Further up, near the Snowy noun
tains, there appears to be a dense forest
skirting the ridges. Between the south and
north Flat Willows the country is level and
even as a barn floor for many miles. and at
the time | passed over it, the blue.joint grass
stood two feet high, green and beautiful,
over thousands or acres. The soil is deep
and rich, and we'll watered, and the country,
the most beautiful | have ever looked upon.
The altitude cannot be much greater than
at Miles City, which is about 1000 feet above
the sea level. From Flat Willow to Crook
ed creek, it is a splendid upland, matted
with buffalo and bunch grass. North OF
Crooked creek, it is an alkaline, bad land
country as far north asI went; but the
country I have just mentioned is large
enough for n thousand'or more homes
nearly big enough tor a respectable county,
and when settled will be chief"
This is the garden of Montana. just
think of such a magnificent country-a land
of hard wood and wild fruit trees, with its
natural meadows unsurpassed and unsur-
passable; sparkling streams bubbling down
from a chain of forest-lined and snow-clad
mountains its bunch and buffalo grass
bleaching upon a thousand hills, and moth
ing but wild game, that fatten and flourish
the year round, to luxuriate upon it, while
there. are thousands Of industrious homeless
people in the crowded states and tell us if
you will, that Montana is not the home
seekers Paradise.
