the bill, but if is is as reported, it makes an
unjust discrimination in favor of those who
are in the business and against those who
may wish to engage in it, and We fear will
have the effect of retarding rather than fos-
tering and encouraging the industry. We
trust it will not pass. We would regret to
see an industry of such promise retarded by
unwise and short-sighted legislation. We
concede the right Of the Legislature to in
some manner protect f1ock-masters from
drovers who may desire to flood the country
with diseased sheep, but no man should be
granted the exclusive right to twelve miles
of the public domain, and the importation
of sheep should by no means be restricted.
Give the drover one free highway at least,

mountains-to the boundless, %unoccupied

SonH Of onr people arc getting a little TN
easy lest the. present winter should cause
great loss anaong our herds and locks, but
we feel that the danger has passed: When
snow falls to the depth it now is on most of
our valleys, in November, and becomes as
compact as it now, as has been the case here
tofore, there is some cause for nneasines, but
when the winter holds off until late and
there is no snow of consequence until Feb
ruary, there is little to fear. The sun is
now is so high that it has a visible effect at
MONDAY, and stock of all kinds go forth
from the willows and sheltered places once
q day at leastto feed. Insteadof grnmbling,
we should congratulate ourselves that it is
o worse. Stock-growers In nearly all parts
of the world have lost heavily this. winter,
and should Montana get off with nothing
worse than has been encountered up to date,
which seems very probable, our losses will
not exceed these of the old states where
the most Improved modes of ~husbandry are

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1879.
The outlook for Montana next season is
good. The past season has been a prosper
oas one. The production greatly exceeded
that OF the year previous, yet There has been
nj tumble in prices as was anticipated. This
proves III oft repeated assertion in regard
to the increase of consumption. Next
spring we look for a much larger acreage to
be sown than previously. This will neces-
state a large supply of farm labor, which
will have to be supplied by immigration. II
crops are good, and it is fair to presume they
will be reasonably so-the next harvest will
be the greatest Montana has ever known.
And it is necessary that it should be, for as
this years consumption exceeds that OF last,
so will the amount consumed next year ex.
coed that of this year, in the natural course
of events, and if we have the large immi-
grafton expected, the increase Of consump-
ton will more than double that of this year
over last. ~
The great havoc in the flocks Of many of
the w~ool-growing countries Of the world
this winter must sooner or later be felt in
our wool markets, and though prices may
make no material advance for a year or
more, it will have a strengthening tendency
On the market, and cause prices to remain
firmer.
Our beef markets are not SO flattering as
might be wished, yet there is a fair outlook
for this commodity also. Prices of fat cat
tie have declined somewhat in the East, ow-
ing In a measure to tn" large production OF
pork, and as an unusually large quantity Of
bacon will be thrown upon the market III
the spring at a very low figure, we can
scarcely hope for any advance in beet, yet
the manifest anxiety of transportation COM
panies gives evidence thas sllippres can Sc
cure better rates than have ever before been
obtained, which will in. ~ opinion, fully
make UP for tho decline in prices, hence we
feel assured of obtaining figures at least up
TO those OF last year. aid choice steers are
likely to be a shade higher. The shipments
however, will be more strictly confined to
f~Our.year-old steers. The animal is not
done growing until this age. and is not
sought by experienced buyers, and as capi-
tai is getting more plentiful, it is not prob
able that any will be hurried off to market
so long. as there is money in keeping it on
the range.
The territory is thronged with commercial
travellers, and farm and family supplies will
probably be purchased by small dealers ut
less rates than usual, which will have the
effect of lessening the cost of living,
We may also look out for a great many
persons with, small capital prospecting for
business locations, ONE of whom will re
main in our midst and increase competition
which will also have the effect Of lightning
the cost of living.
So it will be seen that a reasonable review
Of prospects promises well, and we
should not be surprised if our brightest an
ticipations. were more than realized.

| EDITORIAL NOTES FROM TILE CAPITAL.
The Legislature has been full Of interest
the past week. A number Of bills which
were, thought to have a good show, have.
eonae to grief, while some that were less
hopeful have made good progress. The ex-
emption bill, which at the beginning of the,
week was postponed to within a day of the
close of the session, has been resurected,
amended, and will come up again to-mor-
row for consideration. It's conditions now
are much more favorable to the territory
than the first bill, but without being tur-
ther. amended it can hardly pass either
house. After working on it in committee
of the whole the other day until its friends
thought it eelite perfect, Robinson moved
that It be reported back with the recon-
mendation that it do not pass, and to the
astonishment of many that motion was
adopted. We learn, however, that Word is
preparing at amendment which it Is be-
lieved will still further relieve the bill of OBJ
~iectionable features, and cause it to pass the
House, but it could never pass the Council
except that it be amended so as to only
give five or six years. AS the bill is now
amended it exempts 200 miles of road for -
years, and requires the same to be complet-
ed in two years.
The bullion bill, which it was thought
had a. favorable show to pass the House a
week ago, has made no progress. On the
vote Thursday it was lost, the farmers and
stockmen of the>country, except Combs and
Marion, voting solid against it. McCor--
mick changed his vote to no, and has since
/ got it reconsidered. In last weeks HUs-
BANDMAN, by misprint, WI were made to
say that the attorneys in the House were
feedtto-Work in the interest of the mines,
which, was putting it harder on the legal
| fraternity than we intended, though we
must say that the actions of some indicate
it. It is-justice. however, to Mr.. Sanders to
state that he has thus far worked and voted
with the farmers and taxpayers, and still
seems inclinedsto stand In with them. We
have taken down the remarks of a number
Of gentlemen, on this taxation question, and
may give Them to the public next week.
The members representing the taxpayers
would be willing,to pass the bill with some
slight amendments, but as the bill now
stands they consider it . complete exemp-
ton of the mines and mine products, and
that it would especially be favorable to the
large corporations in whose interests, it APP
pears to have been drawn. The friends OF
the bullion bill are exerting every effort to
force the railroad men to aid them. The
members representing the farmers and. TAX
PAYERS on the bullion question have drawn
a substitute which is in strict accordance
with the Nevada laws, andit is hoped that
it may pass, It taxes the mines at govern
mens.price, and one-tenth of the gross pro-
ceeds. IT. is drawn in a manner such as
will cause some revenue from the mines,
though it gives the miners a. large adyan-
tage over other. business.

The Helena Independent wonders that an
Indian agent can, on a salary of $500 a
year, lay by $4,000 to $4,000 a year, and
suspects that there is something wrong.
You don't understand 1t Mr.. Independent.
They do it by close economy, sir, by the
most rigid system of economy. They are
all christian gentlemen, and we are surpris-
ed that you should ever inslnnate that there
is anything .s~crooked' in their official acts.

the richest California bankers has left

base of operations 10 the New York
Stock Exchange, all the shrewd finan-
ciers watched his course with keen
interest to see how he would succeed.
The result has emphatically proved the
wealthy bankers sagacity. Besides
having much wider and more promis-
ing field to operate in, he is known
to have been i'm several stock combina-
tons that paid immense profits. BY
