Echo saws the song that Beavefneaasrs
wiIl soon be singing will be musical. Inc
song will be entitled" The County Seat
ON Wheels" Music By the Glendale brass
hand. with the inhabitants OF the wno'e
County joining In In one TREMENDOUS enc
ru, that will shake the adamanttne oed'rock
of the Bannack Range from the ripping
rivu,ets Of the Red Rock to the roaring
cataracts OF swift.running Big Hole. Inc
same authority SAYS that committee OF
gentlemen at Glendale have manufactured
a ponderous petition, directed to the boaro
Of County Commissioners, praying tnat an
order may BE- promulgated by the Board
submitting the question Of the removal OF
the county seat from Dillon to Glendale to
the qualified voters at the general election
to be held in November next. OF the points
of the re,noval-petition we are unadviseo'
but presume it is slick document, careful
" wordcd in the most elegant dtcuon
known to our Yankee tongue, and as the
humblest man in Glendale is conceded to
lie Christian and a scholar the presump'
tion is that the petition now In circulation
in the Northern part Of the county does
not contain single misrepresentation or
one sentence that would bring the blush OF
shame to the cheek Of the most modest
person on earth. We take this for granted,
and would regret, exceedingly, to he dtsap'
pointed. The programme ot the commit
tee If gentlemen having this removal btu
siness in charge Is, we are informed, to CIR.
culate the paper in those voting precincts
where comparatively solid list Of sigma
lures can be obtained, and then skirmish
over the county with document, hoping to
swell the list OF petitioners into an apparent
majority If the voters Of Beaverhead Coun-
tv-and thus armed, tackle the Board Of
Commissioners with formidable array o(
names. How the programme will work
remains to be seen. The petition has not
reached the Valley. We will wait un.
til the document comes down from the
high mountains, when we hope to be able
to get q whack at it.

A ol5O,OOO Cattle Sale.

The sales Of cattle in Beaverhead County
this sFring have been large, and the aver
age price obtained has been much better
than that paid for many years past by the
cattle bu, ers who have annually visited
this portion of the Territory. Cattle sharps
who are posted in the business say that
fully $3ooooo worth Of cattle have been
sold in this county this spring, and that es.
innate is, probably under the real amount
The largest sale Of cattle in the county was
that recently made by Messrs. Poindexter
Y Orr, the stock kings Of Southwet tern
Montana. These gentlemen sold to Major
Walker, Superintendent OF the Ccchrane
Cattle Company, Coco head Of cattle. The
price realized was SIS per head for the en-.
tire band, amounting to $Isoooo. 1t Is the
largest sale ever made in this section of the
Territory, and, We believe, the largest cat.
tie sale ever made in Montana. The cattle
are to b. driven to the Cochrane Gonna.
nys range, on Bow River, 100 miles north
OF Fort Macleod in the British Posse ssions.

A SHELTER AT DILLON.
The Enterprise Receiving Favorable
Consideration.

The question ot erecting "A smelter at Dill

refractory ores of the surrounding mining
camps meets with Endorsement and favora.

Many of our citizens, able to invest In stock

ton works for Dillon could be erected in
our midst under such auspices that would
insure their successful working after the
works were built and put in operation.
Dillon is situated in central position to
receive the ores from many surrounding
camps. The ores Of the Argenta, Bald
Mountain, Elkhorn, Bannack, Blue Wing,
and Birch Geek Districts in this county
are within easv reach Of Dillon. while the
ores of the Mccarthy, Rochester, Tidal
Wave and Sheridan Districts, in Madison
County, with the ores found in the two un-
organized dist, lets Of the Ruby range Of
mountains, might certainly be counted on
to furnish a never.faiing supply to keep u
smelter in constant operation. It would
seem that the site Of Dillon for a smelter-
taking every thing into consideration--is
all that could he desired. With an abund.
:lnce of smelling ores in the camps close
by, and with railway facilities for receiving
coal, coke and other supplies, and for ship

How to Get q Squint at the Comet.

fit Of our readers: Late in the evening,
say about II O'Clock, you will see pretty
welt up in the northeastern heavens the
bright star Vega, in the Harp. 1t may BE-
certainly recognized by means Of two faint
stars close by it, with which 1t makes a
beautiful little triangle. The comet is al
most ON line drawn from Vega to the
Polar Star, and you can find it's place by
noting that It IL below and little to the
left Of the Head Of the Dragon, xhich is
marked by ozenge-si,aped figure lying a
few degrees northwest Of Vega.
