A Threatened Danger.

The losses suffered by the cattle
men of Montana, added to all those which
can reasonably be attributed to the depth of
the snow, or to the severity of the cold, do
not comprise a full list of The losses yet to be
redited to the abnormal winter from whose icy
clutch We are scarcely yet free. To avoid ar.
gument we are willing to admit that winter
itself is over. With a child-like confidence
we accept the assurances of the almanac when
it informs lis that the present is the season of
balmy spring, but for all that, effects of the
late winter, effect whose disastrous tenden-
ces threaten to be proportionate to the winter
itself, are still to be looked forward to, and
against these such of our readers as are likely
to come within their influence will do we'll
to guard themselves in advance. In the
mountains the SHOWS of winter are still heap
ed in great drifts and plateau us as yet almost
untouched by the vernal SUM-. With their
melting will come the season of high water
and this year there is every reason to expect
a greater food than has yet been observed
since the settlement of Montana by the
whites. Not only was the snowfall of last
winter at least double that of the average
winter: but what is still worse, it see ms like
ly to so off all in one thaw. Usually we have
two or three spells of warm weather before
summer fairly sets in in June-two or three
stages of high water, before the final and
greatest takes place in the "June RISE" But
thus far there have been no such preliminary
rises; the mountain streams at date are scarcely
above low water mark, so we have every rea-
SON to expect a veritable deluge, with the
setting in of the warm rains next month.
Such a flood will not fail to cause immense
damage, in the destruction of bridges, etc.
unless protective measures are adopted in ad-
vance. Those who know their property to be
menaccd should bestir the according
ly, tor there is not much time to lose.

WalkerVille Survey.

T. L. Baker and assistants yesterday began
the survey of the ground comprised in the
Lexington patent. A town site will be laid
made to conform to the lines ofsurvey. Sur
face rights will be disposed of by Judge
Davis to those who desire to retain possession
of the lots they now occupy, and are willing
to pay for them. No exorbitant prices will
arise as the owner of the property has given
repeated notice to occupants OF his intention
to claim and sell surface rights. Walkerville
is growing rapidly and there is no doubt of
the wisdom and benefit of having a town site
properly established.
