THE idea is beginning 10 dawn in many
eastern people that there is something ain

rnined to have the pure thing, and bought
"creamery butter" Oleomargarine was SO
delusve a counterfeit that table experts
could not detect it. Hence the only protec-
ton was TO buy only from manufacturers of
creamery" butter. We have had some of
this creamery" butter in Montana. 1t
was good because 1t was branded SCREAM
cry" butter aud sold at high price. But
these eastern people have raised a suspicion.
They have found that the creameries are
supplied with the oleomargaIine oil. They
have found also that creamery cows are
producing as high as forty pounds OF butter
each per week. With lack Of faith that
discounts Ingersoll, they claim there Is
swindie, aud that the " creamery men are
supplied with oleomargarine oil, which they
mix with the cream and thus have so much
creamery" butter for sale. NoIe Than
this, they have gone through the statistics
of manufacture, export and creamery pro-
duct, and are disposed to prove it.. Oleo-
margarine is said TO be pure and heaithful,
and hence the expert cannot tell the differ
enee. II does not seem there is much cause
for complaint. But by the tine this scream

of dairy aud packed butter can be had from
our ranchmen, why should Montana import

THE UTAH PROBLEM.

For many years The Executive, In his an
Dual MESSAGE 10 Congress, has i2ed the ne
cessity of stringent legislation FOR the sop
preston of polygamy in The Territories, es-
peciaIly Utah. The existing statute for the
punishment of this odious crime, 50 revolving
to the moral and religious sense of the CON-
munity, has been contemporary violated
ever since lis enactment. Indeed, I'm spite Of
commepdablc efforts on the part or the au-
tLorities who represent the UniIed States In
that Territory, the law has in very rare in-
stances been enforced, and, for cause TO
which reference win presently be made, Is
practically dead letter. The fact that ad
helents Of The Mormon Church, which rests
upon polygamy Is It's cornerstone, have re-
Gently been peopling In large numbers Idaho,
Arizona, and other Of our Western Tcrdlor-
les, Is well calculated to excite the liveIiest
interest and apprehension. II imposes upon
Congress and the Executive the duty Of ex-
ercislny against This barbarous system allthe
power which, under the Constitution and the
law, they can WELD for its dcstructIOn.

THESE wonderful wooden tunnels (the

of the Central Pacific railroad. They were
first sug ed, says the Reno Gazette, by It's
practical vice president, Charles Crocker. but
his companions hesitated through fear OF
impracticabilIty and expense. They are OF
two kinds, one with very steep roofs and the
other with fat roofs. They cost per mile
from $1,000 to Sl2,0 900, and in some places,
where heavy masonry was needed, the cost
reached $4,000 a mile. They ale firmly
constructed to support the heavy weight OF
snow and resist the rush of avalanches. Fire
precautions are also very thorough. Corfu
gated plates of iron sepa, ate the buildings
into sections, and In the great tenmiie shed
there are automatic electric fire alalms. AT
the Summit is an engine and tank always
ready TO food the ignited spot. These sheds

Among the NaturalIsts.

Capt. Charles +. Bendire, of the
First cavalry, a scientist of wide
repute, is on a visit to Vancouver.
In about three weeks he will take
his company from the Walla-walla
barracks on a general tour of dis
covery, measuring streams east of
the Cascade mountains, resurrect-
ing fossils from the vast beds in
the John Day country, in the in
terest Of the Smithsonian institute.
Capt. Bendire has been twice
offered the command of the
government arctic expedition, but
having refused will probably be
selected to take charge of the eX-
pedition up the great Yukon river
in Alaska. The captain is now
giving the trout and salmon of our
country his especial attention, and
in his opinion, the famous red fish
of the Wallowa lakes is identical
with our blue-back silver-sided
salmon. Last Monday the Captain
visited DIR. RafTety in East Port
land and was surprised at the
excellence of his collection. DIR.
II. has two Albino grouse, killed
in Washington county, and which
arc very rare. His snakes, birds,
fish, Indian relics, fossils, minerals
and other curiosities, were all eX-
amined with great interest, many
OF which were declared to be quite
valuable. Reference TO Captain
Bendire as a naturalist would not
be complete, says the Standard
without mentioning the fact that
his collection of birds eggs
is the largest and finest in
the country, and is valued al

day to present to Harvard college

A Yankee Trick.


exhibition of Yankee enterprise
has come to light through the pub
lication of the revision of the New
Testament. With infinite care the
commission of revision kept the
result Of their labors secret. They
knew that they had American pub
fishers TO deal with and American
daring and energy to encounter.
With great show Of desire for
absolute fairness all round they
arranged it so that the proof-sheets
OF their labors should be given cut
in England simultaneously to all
publishers, both British and Ameri-
can, ignoring the fact that by this
arrangement, if it had been adopt
ed exactly according to their old
fogy notions. the English printers
would have had eight or nine days
start on their American brethren.
A publishing house in New York
knew a trick or two, and pro-
ceeded to put them in practice.
Weeks before hand they selected
a perfect outfit of type and
cases, likewise perfect force
of skilled compositors. They could
tell from the character of the work
the quality and quantity Of type
that was needed, and the force
that was required to set up the
matter In week. All this
knowledge was brought to bear,
and both men and material were
shipped 10 England by variou:
steamers, so that suspicion should
not be excited. Then necessary
space Oh a fast running steamer
was engaged without explanation
as to the use it should be put TO
and the typos were shipped a.
ordinary passengers. As soon a
the coast of England was los
sight Of, and no chance OF tele
graphic communication to cithe
end of the journey was possible
the hired space was occupied, th,
cases were set up, and the familia
call of "copy" was heard issu
ing from the foremans lips
When the steamer arrived in New
York from Liverpool she was me
by a horde of representatives o
other publishing houses eager 70
their "copy." The forms belong
ing to one Live Yankee firm har
been stereotyped on board an.
the type returned 10 IFS boxe:
The plates went zap 10 the publish
ing house, and within lwenty-fou
hours the perfected books wer
being issued 10 the newsdealers b
the hundred thousand at time
1t no doubt cost a heap of none
and much brains TO conduct thi
skillful operation; but it will pay
and pay largely. "And why" sa
the adroit spectators, ''should nc
the word of God, according TO tn
latest revision, be profitable in
temporal as well as a spiritua
sense?" 1t is very likely tina
copies of the American cditio
will be sold in England before th
sleepy British printers get thei
editions bound. And we are offer

The Rich Mines Just Discovered In
Alaska.

The ALASKA mines are creating some
attention from those interested in all
coming bOnanZas. A number of rich
mines have been found, and develop
ments have proved that they are of
immense value. Doubtless ere year
has passed that region will be one of
the most fiourishing mining countries
in the United States. The main dis
covery is located near the head of
Douglas Island, on Stevens Passage,
about 1870 miles from Sitka. This is
called Harris District, where there
are five veins or lodges, well defined,
and lying parallel to each other with
walls of slate rock between. These
lie some six or seven miles inland and
only eight or nine hundred feet above
the level of the surrounding country.
There are three other districts, the
Berry, west by south and west, the
Sundum and ShOnck, south. In this
latter there are some placer diggings,
but which are not supposed to be very
extensive or rich. The only means of
communication between Sitka and
the new mines at present is with ca
noes or open boats, but it is supposed
that steamer will be put on the route
this spriffg. The discovery of these
quartz mines are considered the most
wonderful ever made on this coast.
All the assays made from specimens
coming from Alaska furnishes album
nant that the mines are we'll filled
with gold and silver. The gold ia
very free and can be seen by the
naked eye. The silver is mixed with
galena Invariably. Though it is prob
able the mines will prove profitable,
yet it is not prudent for young men
without capital or experience to rush
Unfortunately to that section imag-
lining that they can get rich. Mining
is the hardest kind Of work and re-
quires years of practical experience
before a man can become genuine
prospectOr. Old miners are OF course
attracted and fascinated by every new
mining camp and generally push their
way onwards until they have arrived
at the supposed mecca. Those kind
of men need no advice -v4st there are
hundreds of young men who are daz-
zled with the idea of becoming rich
without working very hard. These
deluded youths will leave shady po-
sition and good home to embark in
the unknown dangers of a. mining
camp. AS sufficient time has not
been had to thoroughly prospect the
country they are advised to stay at
home for a while.

Shanghai correspondence Of the
London Times furnishes q sketch Of
events in China duril & the year 1880,
from which it would appear that very
little growth has been made in any di-
rection. The system of drill in the
army remains as of old, and, "eXcept
in the camps of defense, the old drill
antics, cOntOrtiOns, and sOmersets, to
frighten the enemy, is daily gone
through in every barrack in China"
The dispatches between the capital
and the provinces are still carried on
donkeys. The canals are all choked
up, and the public works are crumb-
ling into ruin. There has been no
progress at all in the development Of
the country by modern scientific ap-
pliances. The surveys made of coal
and iron fields, which are known to
exist i'm the Yangtsze valley, have
come to nothing. The cotton mill
which was to have been built has been
abandoned, and the wooden mills
which were built some time ago at
LanchOwfoo are not yet in operation.
There is promise of telegraphs, but no
performance. Explorers for petrol
cum in Formosa came back with
broken heads. The only advance
made is in the management of their
steam navigation company, and of
this the correspondent says: "For
the first time in its history proper
amount has been written offthe value
of the company's fleet for depreciation
and an honest and praiseworthy at
tempt made to cut down all useless
expenditure and put the company on
a sound commercial basis. Its opera
tiOns are to be extended to all foreign
countries where Chinese merchants
are established, and with this view
two of its thirty steamers have begun
to ply between China, the Sandwich
Islands and California"

NUMBER 32.


The changes in level of the earth's
surface, which must have been rapid
and vast in early geological ages, are
yet in progress. Aside from paroxys-
NAL changes, such as the volcanic up
heaval of an island now and then,
great areas of land in different parts
of the globe are undergoing slow
process of elevation or subsistence. In
Greenland subsistence is taking
place. For 600 miles, from Disco Bay
to the Firth of Igaliko, the coast has
been sinking for four centuries past.
Old buildings and islands have been
submerged, and the Moravian settlers
have had to put down new poles for
their boats, the old ones standing,
Lyell observes, "as silent witnesses of
the change" On the North Ameri-
can coast, south of Greenland, from
Labrador to New Jersey, it is sup
posed that similar changes are going
on. G. II. Cook concludes that slow
subsistence is progressing along the
coasts of New Jersey, Long Island
and Martha's Vineyard, and, accord
ing to A. Gesner, the land is rising at
st. John, in New Brunswick; sinking
at the Island of Grand Menan; rising
on the coast opposite, at Bathurst;
sinking about the Bay of Fundy,
where there are regions of stumps
submerged 80 feet at high tide, and
rising at Prince Edwards Island. 1t
is believed that, in the Pacific Ocean,
the coral islands have, in some por-
tions, sunk not less than 5000 feet
during comparatively recent geologi-
cal times. Surveys made in Northern
Sweden have shown, according TO
Lyell, that the coast at that point is
rising at the rate of about four feet in
a century.

Fifty thousand people were driven
out of their houses at New Orleans by
the late overflow of the Mississippi
river, which is attributed in some
measure to the jetties at the mouth.
The Picdyunc says: ''There has been
great strain upon the levees of the
lower delta since the construction of
the jetties at the mouth of the Missis-
sippi river. Last year demonstrated
that the parishes south of New Or
leans have had the hazards of inunda-
tiOn largely increased by the great
work which has made New Orleans
the deepest port on the American con-
tinent." The river above was damned
in various places with view of con-
tining the water within the banks,
and thereby deepening the channel at
the jetties. If the surplus water had
been allowed to run off as usual, New
Orleans would probably have escaped
the overflow of about five square miles
of territory.
