UNDER the heading, " An Emigration Scheme
to Copy After" the San Francisco Examiner
thus speaks of Hawaii nei. But it is in error
about the immigrants coming from England, as
they are from Madeira, though brought in Eng
lish vessels
The King of the Hawaiian Islands has matured
a plan for worthy emigration to his kingdom which
Christian and more enlightened nations might prof.
tably copy from. A few years ago coolies were
imported there. Already the King has learned that
they are q curse instead of q blessing. Consequently
he now wishes to rid the land of them. He has
looked abroad for immigrants of suitable character,
end from England they will be supplied. He has
arranged with the well-known English house of
Janion & Co., which has branches in Portland, o.,
and in Honolulu, to bring out these immigrants.
There will be about 1000 in all. Two ships, the
Preeiiia and the RaUenseon, are now on the voyage
out with the advance portion-the first with $50 and
the last with 400 immigrants, men, women and
children. They will be landed at Honolulu, and
from there sent to the various islands of the group on
which they will be provided with homes and given
employment. some on the plantations and in other
industries and enterprises. The wisdom of the
Hawaiian King should serve as a lesson to the fanat-
les and false philanthropists at the East who advo-
cate the unlimited immigration of coolies"

From the Yellowstone.

Mr.. w. T. Mcfarland, back from the last
seasons survey in the Lower Yellowstone
country, confirms the many reports of the ad-
vantages of that section of the Territory for
grazing and agricultural purposes. Wild
fruits, including plums and grapes, abound
in the Tongue river and other regions about,
and hard wood particularly ash-grows
there to a very considerable extent.
The soil in the Yellowstone valley above
and below Miles City is very fertile, as well
as on tributary streams of the chef river.
Mr.. Mcfarland brought with him specimens
of three varieties of corn-dent, ,eight-row and
squaw-grown to full maturity in the Yellow
stone valley, above, at Pease Bottom and
near Miles City, the past year, without irriga-
tion. The samples exhibited are very:fne.
Vegetable and grain crops have been grown
there with equal success, and matured with
out irrigation. Mr. Mcfarland contemplates
returning to Miles City next March, there to
engage in his profession of surveying and
civil engineering

Ore From Bear Paw.

In our cabinet may be seen ten pound
specimen of galena ore from the Black Dia-
mond lode, Bear Paw mountains, recently
discovered by w. W. Lloyd. An assay of
top ore from this lode shows it carries 80
ounces in silver, and 704 per cent in lead,
with traces of gold. The shaft, 40 feet deep,
shows vein feet wide. This is the first
defined lode found in these mountains. A
number of persons are prospecting there this
winter, and we are now quite confident that
a good quartz camp will spring up in North
ern Montana.

Neat Arrest,

Last Saturday one William Merritt, asias

neatly arrested at the Butte post Office. Sher-
iff Chas. M. Jefferis, accompanied by Deputy

come over on the prisoners trail, but finding
no trace of him there, he made out q warrant
authorizing Mr.. Wesley w. Jones to take in
custody any one who, inquiring for mail,
should give either alias of the looked for
man. Sure enough, Saturday afternoon, a
letter for VIM. Merit was called for. With
his usual suavity, ewes" invited the stranger
to enter the inner precincts of Uncle Sans
den and take seat while the clerk in waiting
overhauled the lists of advertised letters
Nothing suspicious, Merit walked in, but
had scarcely taken the proffered chair when
the billet dour of warrant was thrust into
his hands. He very gracefully acknowledged
the corn, only rcmarking something about
''the most gentlemanly arrest he had ever
heard off," which shows that the ''child-like
and bland" courtesy of our assistant P NJ.
was properly appreciated. .-MS,aer.

To the Editor of the Herald
Are there advantages to be gained by the
organizations of companies with stock not
assessible under our Incorporation Act?
Is it not fact that the mines of Nevada

successfully without an assessible stock?
Will not section in our Incorporation

Perhaps word or two from our thriving
little town of Bedford would not be unaccept-
able to the majority of your readers. We
have two hotels and two butcher shops in full
blast here. Also blacksmith shop. Touring
mill, and store, the proprietor of which, Mr..
Gavin Johnston, is very enterprising and
energetic man.
Improvements are noticeable upon every
side, in new dwelling houses, livery stables,

aquisitions is a school house, which is ably
presided over by Miss Kelsey. We have also
very competent Justice of the Peace in the
person of Mr.. D. ]. Bailey, whose genial,

spires one with the assurance of being justly
dealt with both as regards the law and the
purchasing of the good things which are in
dispensable to our we'll being.
There is not more orderly or we'll be-
haved community in Montana than there is in
Bedford at the present time. Drunkenness is
at low discount; calling one another pet
names, and ornamenting one anothers physi-
ogomy, are things of the past. The reason
is evident We have most efficient Consta-
BILE, and he is one of the sons of Vulcan,
whose progeny have in all ages been noted for

The g BOss,' Mountain Lion Slain.

A correspondent in the Hus6andnsaz, writ
ing from White Sulphur Springs, says:
On last Wednesday Mr.. Wesley Curnutt
took his gun and started to hunt the horses.
About three or four miles from the Springs,
he discovered band of Mountain sheep, and
as soon as he gained proper locationh he fired
upon the game. At the crack of the gun one
of the largest montain lions we have ever
seen (you can immagine how large he ap-
peared to the bold hunter,) sprang from a
cliff of rocks and landed not over thirty feet
from Curnutt, in an altitude looking anything
but friendly and ready to contest titles
to the game in question. Mr.. G. being an
old mountaineer and an experienced hunter,
took in the situation at glance, and saw there
was no time to lose, as his antagonist meant
business, so he Immediately drew bead on
the gentleman and let him have bullet be-
fore he concluded to give way, and as he ran
received a number of shots which he carried
but short distance. MIR. Curnutt, after
dressing his sheep, which was very large
one, the head and horns weighing 374 pounds,
returned to the battle ground and found his
antagonist dead. Mr., Z. having procured the
assistance of Col. Kent, brought the lion to
camp where they weighed and measured him,
finding him to weigh $50 pounds, and meas
ure feet inches from the tip of the nose to
the tip of the tail, which the Colonel, (though
q bear hunter in the Rockies for many a
year, acknowledges to be the "boss" of the
mountains. Mr.. G. intends shipping the lion
by next Mondays coach to DR.. Parberry at
Helena, who will have the skin stuffed and
preserved in proper manner.

Some in rags and some in tags
And some in velvet gowns"
Yesterday was probably the first time in
the history of Helena when it was known
that an able bodied man was on the street
asking for bread. And as there is work of
some kind always to be found whereby an in
dustrious person may always attain a good
living in Montana, it is not unreasonable or
uncharitable to suppose that this first individ-
ual who has appeared at our doors to be fed,
is regular tramp, and no doubt the pioneer
of that persuasion who has come to Montana
to view out the land for an anxious horde on
our borders who only wait the first railroad
to precipitate themselves upon our towns and
farming communities.
What shall be done to keep them away
Upon the principle that AN ounce of pre-
ventive is better than pound of cure. is it
not we'll to devise some means to keep off the
threatened evil? Shall that be by some strin-
gent law which will place in the chain-gang
to work upon our streets and country roads
any man who may be proven to be a pro-
fessional tramp, or shall it be by public no.
tice to the world that Montana is an unhealthy
place for beggars? The question is pro-
pounded at this time to the people for pub
lie expression of their opinion as well as to
our Legislators, who can no doubt provide by
law for this class of vagabonds. Unless some
public action is taken they will be here in
herds before the next meeting of the Legis-
lature.
