Our attention is called TO the subject of
the matrimonial market in the far west by
the article entitled, $50 West, Young Wo-
a go West" which we publish in an
other place. There is no ignoring the fact
that there is a great scarcity of marriagable
young ladies in the west. while there are
thousands of bachelors, the majority of
whom would marry if they coulddind good,
honest-hearted women possessed. of the
necessary requisites to make home. happy.
OF the thousands of gold-seekers who left
home and friends and braved the dangers of
a border life in the early days of Montana,
many were young men just stepping upon
the threshold of manhood. Some soon real
lied their hopes and returned, but many
were doomed to a different fate. Not find
ing the desired ".home-stake'' in the first
few years, they were compelled. to stay
longer, and finding as years passedso on that
Montana was a.country of great possibilities,
set about to develop its resources. Our
mining gulches and our valleys are dotted
with the homes of these men. Ten, and to
some, fourteen, years of toll has, wrought a
wonderful change. The beardless boy who
crossed the, plains is now a stalwart, mus
cnlar man, sun-browned and bearded. but
generous and hospitable. The latch-string
hangs out from a thousand such, homes in
Montana, where the wayfaring man is always
welcome. Some OF these bachelor abodes
are furnished in good style, others are very
rude, but none are lacking in the one essen
tial TO make life's current run smoothly,
that is plenty to eat. Some of their owners

WE HEAR a great deal of complaint of
late years about inferior butter. This is not
wholly the fault of farmers. 1t is true that
there are a great many who make butter
who do not understand it and who will not
try to learn, but the best quality of butter
will become rancid in warm weather unless
properly packed. The plan of putting it
down in rolls covered with cloth, and pack
ing it in casks of brine is the most success
full method of keeping it fresh and sweet,
but suitable vessels are difficult to get. Our
merchants could materially assist in this
matter if they would ship salt in good bar
rels that could be used for this purpose.
Merchants who deal in fresh butter during
the summer season should be provided with
good zink-lined retrigerators in which to
keep it, as it soon becomes worthless from
absorbing foreign odors if kept as usual in
pine safes. If we would have our markets
supplied with good butter, dealers must en-
courage its manufacture in every possible
way, and when once made must provide
every necessary convenience for preserving
its good flavor, otherwise there is but little
inducement for the farmer to exert his skill
in making a first-class article unless he sells
direct to the consumer.

The last issue of the Philadelphia New
North Vest, a monthly journal published in
the interest Of the Northern Pacific railroad,
is trimming full Of news respecting the OPP
e~rations of the company. Two hundred
and five miles, the distance between Bis
marck and the Yellowstone, are to be con-
structed forthwith. The company seems to
be on a good financial basis. Its preferred
stock is selling rapidly to land purchasers.
Stock which was dull two years ago at $40
now goes off readi " at $685.. and land a
$3.50 per acre paid for in stock is much
cheaper than government land at $l.25 per
acre. This forward movement of the North
ern Pacific will be ha lied with great joy by
the people of eastern Montana. The North
ern Pacific through to the Yellowstone will
be more convenient to them than the Utah
& Northern at Red Rock. The most extern
sive and finest agricultural region of
Meagher county lies along the eastern base
Of the Little Snowy mountains, which is
within sixty or eighty miles of Miles City,
and the railroad will not probably strike the
Yellowstone more than one hundred miles
east of this place, so that immigrants will
come in a perfect stream up the Yellow
stone and Musselshell valleys within another
year.
