SMITH RIVER ITEMS.

EDITOR H~UsBANDMAN The miners Of
Thompson and other gulches on this side
are busy getting ready for the Aummer's
work.
The farmers on this side have nearly all
got through putting in their crops and gar
dens.
j. w. Walters received four bushels Of
onion sets last week, and has sown half an
acre of onion seed.
If the g~rasshoppers do notcomethis sum-
mer our farmers will reap a gool crop.
There has been a good deal said about
this valley being too high and frosty to raise
anything, but if you will come over to }.
w. WIS ranch on Camas creek, about the
Fourth of July, he will show you the finest
garden you have seen in a long time. He
has a fine patch of English strawberries,
and almost anything you could think of in
the vegetable line.
There was a blackbird wintered at Mr.,
Walters place the past winter. IL would
come regularly every morning and get its
breakfast with the chickens. The weather
was pretty cold, but the little fellow stood
it like a ''brick." READER.

COUNTY SEAT.

EDITOR HUsBANDMAN: ! want to say a
few words about removing the county seat
in reply to sTax-payer." Idon't think he,
has taken a fair view of the situation of
things. He says it would be better to let it
remain it Diamond Tor w years, and by
that Time the soldiers would be moved from
Camp Baker, and that we could buy the
buildings there cheaper than we could build
new ones. There is nothing certain about
Baker being abandoned, or if abandoned
that the buildings will not be pulled down
and moved to the new location. The coun-
ty is getting poorer every year in point OF
trade, and will continue to do so as long as
the county seat remains in Diamond City.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1879-04-24

If it is moved at the coming election to
White Sulphur Springs the increase of tax
able property in two years will amount to
more than the cost of a half dozen county
seats.s We all know Diamond has made all
that it ever will make, then let us move it
to some other poin. of the country that will
grow up and make times lively. The
Springs is the most appropriate place for
the county seat, and l can't see that the
move can injure anyone in particular. 1t
will bring immigration into the county.
The White Sulphur Springs are undoubt-
edlv the best mineral springs in the terrific
ry, equal if not superior to the famous Ar
kansas springs or the Hathorn springs at
Saratoga, and is destined 10 become the
greatest resort in the country. The Mus
selshell will settle up this summer and there
will be the largest population about the
Springs of any place in the comfy before
next fall. And nov as the old adage goes,
''never put off for tomorrow what may be
done today
Some are afraid that it will make taxes
higher. This is impossible under the pres
ent law, and should the people conclude in
the future to erect buildings l will bear my
portion like a man, although / have quite >
herd of stock and my taxes are very high,
for l want the county to build up, which it
will if the move is made, and taxes eventu-
ally become very low. If the county seat
remains in Diamond the interest of the
county will drag along as usual and every.
thing 60 down hill, and our taxes in the
end get higher.
Remove the county seat to White Sui
phur Springs, and Smith river and Mnssel-
shell will become thickly settled with fami-
lies. There are thousands of acres OF the
best faI inning land on these valleys that ever
lay out doors.

whose taxes are increasing will prosper is
certainly laboring under a delusion. We
believe the prosperity of our people and the
development of the resources of the county
depends upon the county retaining its pres
ent limits, and to do this, and place division
out of all question, we believe it necessary
to move the county seat and build up a.
county town in which all will feel an inter-
est. At present the county has no place in
which the people nave any pride. The Mis-
souri, valley takes no interest in Diamond {;
many of the farmers there do not visit the
place once in two years. Their business is
usually transacted by letter. The Springs
would accommodate them fully as well, as
it could be reached in from thirty to forty
miles, which is not greater than IS often
travelled by people OF thickly settled dis
tricts in the states. These people do not
pretend to claim that the county seat should
be moved to their valley, but admit that it
must go to the Springs soon If the county
remains as it is. Then since Diamond is of
no Importance and can never be, why not
remove the county seat to some place that
does give promise of becoming a town.
The Independents correspondent, Up. w."
cites US to Jefferson county. The case is
not at all parallel. We do not build our
hopes in regard to the new county seat on
the tickle fortunes of mines, but upon the
agricultural and pastoral resources Of the
entire county, Of which the Springs is the
natural center besides there is a vast differ
ence between the, expanding of $1,000 and
$50, 900. And if we talk of what may be
done. under the provisions of other laws,
there is as much danger of costly buildings
being put up at Diamond as at the Springs,
for we might in turn cite Beaverhead coun-
tvs costly buildings which were erected al
Bannack, a played-out mining town like
Diamond, simply in the interests of a few
property holders who had houses there, anc
what assurance have we that a similar effor
may not be made to save Diamond by those
who cling to the desperate fortunes Of thu
place. 1t is certainly more favorably locat
ed, and such a move would be as plausibl
as in the case Of Beaverhead. The Spring
is the best business point IN the county tc
day, and promises to improve rapidly. Re
move the county seat there and the $l,OC
to be spent in the removal will never be fl
and if at the end of five years, a better poii
is developed, it may again be moved befor
a permanent location is made and cost
buildings erected.

Ivy 40 WIZ PAoPSA 'eO
IT IS our painful duty to record the death
of one of the old residents of Meagher
county, Mrs. Carrie E. Stone, which occur
red at Diamond, Tuesday, April 22d. She
and had been residing in Helena, but failing
to find relief among the medical faculty
there, determined to go to the White Sui
phur Springs for treatment. Upon arriving
| at this place Friday last, she was unable to
proceed further, and on Monday. growing
much worse, DR.. j. B. Newman, Post Sur
geon at Fort Logan, was summoned, but
found her beyond human aid. Her suffer-
ings were intense Monday night, but as
morning approached the pain subsidized and
she talked freely, being perfectly resigned
to the Great Masters will, and enjoying a
high hope of a better world to come. She
was about 40 years of age. Mrs, Stone was
born in Michigan, but spent her early life
in Galesburg, Ills. She moved to Oregon in
1852, from where she came to Montana in
1865, and has since resided in Meagher
county. She has five sisters living in the
states, and her mother and two brothers
live in Oregon. Mrs. s. was Of q literary
family. Her mother, Mrs. Eunice Goodell,
is a writer of considerable note, having con-
tributed ONE excellent gems to American
literature. Deceased also whiled away some
of the weary hours of solitude of Montana
pioneer life writing for the press. She was
a very entertaining writer, aud her produc-
tons were full Of sentiment. The readers
of the HUsBANDMAN will remember Mrs. S.
as "Carrie, of Sunny Hill Side" Lies
trials are now over, and she has gone to her
reward, on the sunny side of Jordan.

AS TIL election draws nigh the opposi-
ton to removing the county seat seems to
abate. Many who bitterly opposed it in the
beginning have, after a sober second thought
come to view it quite favorably. The prin-
cipal arguments produced by those opposed
to it are that it will Inconvenience the peo-
pie of the Missouri valley. and that it should
not be moved until the county is divided.
and even argue that the county could be
divided now to advantage. How any tax
payer who desires the prosperity of his sec
ton and a decrease Of taxes, can entertain
such ideas is more than we can see. 1t was
to prevent division, insure a decrease of
taxation and the prosperity of the people,
that we %espoused the cause. The man who
thinks that two counties can be run at less
expense than one, and that any section
