THE CHEYENNE, BLACK HILLS . MONTANA
- RAILROAD IN CONGRESS.


We are permitted to make the fol-
lowing extract from a letter received
yesterday by Hon. A. r. Converse from
Mr.. Corlett. The letter says:
"The bill for the grant Of the right
Of way, ETC., to the Cheyenne, Black
Hills & Montana railroad company,
reached me in due time. 1 at once in
troduced II In the house, and had 1t in
troduced in the senate ut the same
time. Yesterday, tFeb. 20) the senate
committee gave me u hearing upon the
matter, and thereupon agreed to report
1t favorably, and during the day did 30,
and 1t Is now on the senate calendar
for action, when reached. l am not SO
fortunate In the house; as l have not
yet been able to get the committee, to
whom the bill vas referred, together
for action. l hope, however, to get
them 10 act upon the bill soon."
From the foregoing our readers will
see that Delegate Corlett is doing his
best TO ecure early action on the, to US,
important bill; whether there is time
enough to reach the bill, or whether
unanimous consent can be obtained to
take it up for action out of its regular
order, in both houses Of congress, will
be a~scertained In a few days.

This is the first day of Lent. Most
Reverend Archbishop Wood has issued
the following rules for the observance
Of the season:
All the faithful who have completed
their twenty-irst year, are bound to OBJ
serve the Fast of Lent, unless dispensed
for legitimate reasons.
One meal a day only is allowed, ex-
cept IN Sundays.
This meal Is not to he taken until
about noon.
On those days on which permission
is granted to eat meal, both meat and
fish are not to be used at the same meal,
eve by way Of condiment.
A collation. or partial meal is allowed
In the evening. The general practice
Of piols Christians limits its quantity
to the fourth part of an ordinary meal.
Bread, butter, cheese, fruit of all
kinds, salads; vegetables and fish, are
permitted at the collation.. Milk and
eggs are prohibited.
Custom has made it lawful to drink
In the morning some warm liquid, such
as tea and coffee, or thin chocolate
made with water.
Necessity and custom have author
lied the use of lard instead of butter
in preparing fish, vegetables, etc.
The following persons are not bound
to observe the Fast, viz: All under
twenty-one years of age; the sick;
those who are obliged to do hard
work, and all who, through weak
ness, cannot fast without injury to
their health.
BY d~ispensation, the use of flesh
meat will be allowed at any time on
Sundays, and once a day on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,
with the exception of Holy Thursday
and the second and last Saturdays of
Lent.
Persons exempted from the obiiga-
tion Of fasting by age or laborious oc-
cupation, IN not restricted to the use
of meat at n meal, only on those days
on which its use is granted by dispen-
sation. Others dispensed from the
fast for other causes, as well as those
who are obliged to fast, are permitted
to use meat only ut one meal.

SALT LAKE CITY, I

Correspondence OF the Leador.1
SALT LAKE CITY,
Feb. %, 1879.
The Indian situation in Idaho opens
out as spring advances, about as follows:
Ten boy, who has been ordered by
the commissioner of Indian affairs to
move his people from Lemhi to Ross
Fork agency, say that he is well salts
fled where he is, and does not propose
to move. The agent ut Ross Fork was
ordered some time since to take teams
and go over to Lemhi and move the
whole outfit down, but as it was i'm
possible to cross the mountains at this
season of the year he had to postpone
the movement till there is less snow to
contend with. 1t is stated that Ten
Doy's opposition to the move has been
inspired by contractors near his present
agency, who find lucrative employment
in transporting and furnishing supplies.
However this may be, il looks now as
though force would be required to COM
pei Ten boy TO obey the commands of
the Indian bureau, and that force will,
Of course, have to he furnished by the
army. When Ten boy finds that this
is the programme he will in all proba-
bility Eight out'' and go on the war
path, and give the people of solomon
river a lively time of it,
The miners on lower Snake river
organized not long since into small
parties for defense, and declared that
they would kill on sight any Indian
coming near their camps not In the
company Of white man. Agent Dan
ielson, at Ross Fork, was furnished
with copies Of these resolutions, and he
Immediately reported the matter to
Washington. The authorities there,
however, were not disposed to protect
the Indians in rowing off their reserva-
tion, and notified Danielson that his
Indians must not be allowed to leave
their reservation on any account what
ever, and that II an Indian desired TO
leave his reservation, u letter giving all
the reasons must be sent to the COM
missioner, who alone aould issue q pass.
Agents have been in the habit Of issu-

CATTLE TRAHspoaTATion.

In connection with the discussion of
the cattle business on the plains, the
question Of transportation and feeding
in transitu naturally comes up for con-
sideration. Not that any deficiencies
therein have been responsible for the
recent epidemic among American cat.
tie, but that 1t is most important to
know II there are any defects in the
system, that may at any future time
occasion n similar disease.
1t is already known that our large
and growing trade in beef with Eng
land can be maintained only by sending
forth sound cattle. English jealousy
cannot calmly tolerate the importation
Of even the purest meat; and it is GER
tain, that the slightest ground for adj
verse action will be awaited of, which
disposition has been but too plainly
manifested In the recent past. Pure,
healthy cattle are therefore IN absolute
necessity to the maintenance of the
export beef trade.
On their feeding grounds IN the
broad west, the cattle are all healthy
and sound, SO that so far us the pro.
Queer is concerned, he cannot guard
against the ills that work the condemn
nation Of occasional beeves at the sea-
board. The fault, then, must neces-
sarily be i'm the system of %transporta-
ton, of which the stock yard is an i'm
portant feature. Hence the inquiry rs
to the probable influence of the system
upon the causation Of disease.
Cheapness is a prime requisite in
shipping cattle, and the most comfort
able methods for the money are perhaps
already in vogue. 1t is true that inn
provements may be readily introduced;
but it would probably be at sucl, cost
as to render the pursuit of profits per-
fectly hopeless. The business would
therefore be most inconsiderately killed.
The whole-souled national humane
society, main-springed by q company
with a monopoly, has besought con-
gress to pass a law ordering more COM
fort for travelling cattle. According to
the bill presented, at the request of the
society, each steer was to have a
through ticket In a Pullman p~alace-car
mo, not that exactly, but cattle pal.
ace-cars were to be used to tile exclus.
ion of all others, when the distance to
he traveled exceedad n certain nnml,ar
