A DEERHouND's sAaAcITY.
The Life of a Rattlesnake River Hunter
Saved by His Dog.
Helena tMont.) Independent

Helena tMont.) Independentl
Herman Hutter and Charles Whitman, oil
Ahssoulia. armed with rifles and accom-
panied by deerhound, the other day went
up the RattleSnale River in quest of game.
They climbed the mountains to the left OF
the stream and separated, taking opposite
sides of the ridge, IN the hopes of bagging a
deer. Whitman came down the Rattlesnake
side, and'soon after separating from his COM
panion he slipped and fell, sliding some
200 feet down the mountain side. He yainly
endeavored to stop himself by digging
into the snow with his hands and feet, and
clutching at brush and saplings till Just as
he was about to be precipitated over the
cliff into the Rattlesnake, some forty feet
below, he fortunately clasped strong sap
ling with one hand, and was left dangling in
the air over the precipice. BY a strong eff
fort he managed to clasp. the sapling with
his arm in the elbow, and grasping his wrist
with the disengaged hand, awaited his iney-
liable fall with desperation. The hound,
seeing his master fall, followed him 10 the
edge of the cliff and whined piteously at
the predicament of his human friend,
Suddenly he dashed off over
the hill like deer and disappeared When
nearly exhausted, Whitman heard his com
panion, Iutter, above him, coming to his
assistance. He gathered renewed courage,
and held on desperately till Hutter came
down with rope and rescued him from his
perilous position. Hutter SAYS he had gone
but short distance when the dog came
upon him and seized hold of his clothing,
whining He turned upon him and the dog
ran of. Repeating the strange maneuver,
Hutter suspected something wrong, and fol-
lowed the dog to Whitmans rescue.

Mr. PreSlGe2t ana Gentlemen
The economies Of public veal
and welfare are subjects of practi'
ca! interest at all times, and should
be approached in spirit free from
all local and individual preconcep'
tions, and considered with the
broad and liberal purpose of dis
covering that which is for the
greatest good to the many.
And with the hope, Mr.. Presi-
dent, that we may now take up
the subject of I'm migration in that
spirit. | shall offer the following
suggestions and remarks, expect
ing from the discussion to follow
there will result u better under-
standing and Il fuller appreciation
of the Importance OF this sntJect
of Immigration. For whether we
view i, in it's social, its Industrial,
It's financial, or its political aspects,
it presents under each one of
these heads problems worthy of
serious and thoughtful considera-
ton, and opens to our View what
are destined TO be the most i'm
portaut factors in the future wei.
fare and development of the State
We can at present consider but
few OF these heads. And | pro-
pose to corine my remarks to the
subject Of immigration: the room
for it, how to induce it, and the
benefits resulting therefrom. What
immigration has done, what it
has achieved for this country, is
an accomplished fact: and from
what has been done in the past,
we can safely draw conclusions as
10 the future.
If any one opposes immigration
upon the grounds Of it's doubtful
good results, l would ask him who
has developed this country His
answer could be naught else than
the immigrant and his descend
ants.
Now if the immigrant who came
hither two hundred years ago
and settled this country and had
their numbers constantly aug
,ucnted by new arrivals have
developed a country and people
second TO none, and made this
development from an incongruous
gathering, shall we with our
social and legal restraints well
defined not be enabled to receive
new comers now. And just as
the body asSimilates the different
kinds Of food into good and proper
nourishment, assimiiate into the
body polite these immigrants
| from different lands, and make
them good citizens, accommo'
dating themselves to our laws and
modes Of life. We certainly have
!: a faircr prospect Of success than
our fathers had. 1t has been 8
success in the past, and If taken
| hold Of properly now, will be
success in the future.

conducive to this success let u;
