FEATURES OF THE NATIONAL
PARK.
The Two Great Cataraots-The
Grand Canyon-Tower Falls and
the Mammoth Hot Springs.

The two great falls of the Yellow
stone-the upper 140 feet, and the
lower 397 feet high-a little less
than half a mile apart, and at the
head of the Grand Canyon, whose
brilliantly-colored portion begins
near the picturesque Crystal Cas-
cades of Cascade Creek, which,
about midway between the two
falls, leaps over the west wall of
the canyon in beautiful cascades
129 feet high. These cataracts and
cascades would justly rank among
the great wonder of the world, if
they poured into the most common
place of gorges, but they plunge
into an abyss more than twenty
miles long, with walls from 1000 to
1000 feet high (and perhaps more,
for the lower part of the canyon has
never been explored.)
This stupendous channel through
the Elephants Back mountains is
all the way cut through soft volcan-
ic rock, which has eroded into in
Vulnerable quaint forms, SO that
even unimaginative persons see ev-
erywhere the most striking resent
blances to forms of men and beasts,
sometimes singularly accurate, and
sometimet wildly grotesque, inter-

domes and other architectural ef-
fects. But wonderful as these walls
are for their height and the curious
forms into which they have wealth
cred, they are vastly more wonder
full because, from the water's edge
to the top, nature has dyed them
with an endless variety Of the most
vivid colors.
Surely nothing like it was ever

Our New Jail.

AS will be seen by the proceed
ings of the county commissioners
in another column, the new Jail and
cells were accepted last night, and
warrant issued in payment there
for. This was deemed advisable,
by reason of the bad condition of
the present old log Jail being in
such bad repair, that it was no
longer safe, ann that an expense of
about 5000 per month, was requir-
ed for the purpose of guarding the
prisoners. Attorney Garlock, of
the firm of Strevell & Garlock, rep
senting Messrs. Pauly & Sons, the
contractors and builders, promptly
delivered the various keys to the
commissioners last night, and thus
the transfer to Custer county of the
finest Jail and steel cells in tho ter
ritory was made. AS soon as the
necessary cook house and jailor's
residence can be built, which will
be in about two weeks, the prison
ers will be moved from the old Jail
to their new quarters, and then the
heavy expense of $500 per month
will be saved to Custer county for
guarding it's prisoners. A descrip-
ton of the new Jail and cells will
not be amiss at present.

INCREASE OF POPULATION.

cast for Delegate at the last three
elections shows the remarkable in
crease of population in this Terri
tory since 1878. At the election
held in that year the total vote was
9,242. In 1880 it was increased tc
IA, ,1S4, and at the late election il
reached 23,324. These figures show
the increase between 1873 and 1880
was over 80 per cent, and that be,
tween the latter year to the present
time is nearly 7Oper cent, or an .av-
erage yearly increase of 80 per cent
during the past four years.
The counties which show the
greater increase in population dur
ing the past four years are Silver
Bow-organized year and halt
ago-Gallatin, Custer and Missoula
the increase in the last three
named being partially due to the
presence of laborers on the line of
the Northern Pacific Railroad. Sill
Yer Bow county contains the largest
number of voters followed by Gal
latin, Custer, Lewis and Clarke,
Missoula, Meagher, Deer Lodge,
Jefferson, Madison, Beaverhead,
Choteau and Dawson in the order
named. For several years Lewis
and Clarke county led in number
of votes polled but was outvoted
by Deer Lodge county in 1873, and
now ranks fourth in the list. One
does not have to look beyond the
two lines of railroads now being
built through the Territory to find
the cause Of this increase in our
population. They have stimulated
an immigration which will flow into
the territory for years to come, and
which, in the near future, will build
up one of the most wealthy and pro-
ductive states in the northwest.
Another interesting fact which
the late vote brought to light is that
the counties containing rich, devel-
oped mines, and those possessing
large areas of fine farming lands are
absorbing the larger portion of the
present immigration. Silver Bow,
Custer, Gallatin, Meagher and Mis-
soula counties are instances of this
fact. In this race for population
the east side counties have decided
ly the best of it. In 1878, Missoula,
Deer Lodge, Beaverhead and Madi-
son counties had a voting popula-
ton of 4,62S, out of a total for the
territory of 9,242, or over one-half.
The late vote shows the same coun-
ties have but 9,7SS out Of a total of
23,324. The fine farming and graz
ing lands of Meagher, Gallatin and
Custer counties have caught a large
share Of the eastern immigration
which, when the Northern Pacific
shall be completed, will flock to the
finer lands of Missoula and lower
Deer Lodge counties. Basing a cal
culation upon the figures above
given, the voting population Of the
territory at the expiration of two
years may be estimated at nearly
10000, which number, under the
prevailing rule, would indicate a
population of about 10000 souls
in 1884, fully enough to entitle
Montana to statehood.-[Miner.

est criminal, if once incarcerated
must languish until trial. The stee
cells are made of a combination bal
of iron and steel, and is of such fine
quality that no files have any effect
upon it. 1t will be seen by this
that if the prisoners get tools they
cannot make their escape by filing
or saving out, as is often done
where cells are made Of plain iron.
The cells are four in number, each
one accommodating four prisoners.
The prisoners are slept in ham,
mocks. By the use of hammocks
prisoners are deprived of any
weapons, and at the same time are
furnished with bed that they like
much better. At one side of the
cells is a corridor of steel lattice
work, extending the full length of
the cells. This corridor is used for
the exercising room for the pris-
oners, who during the day are let
out of their cells to enjoy partial
freedom in this well lighted and
perfectly ventilated corridor. At
the rear end Of this corridor, or ex-
ercising room, are all the sanitary
arrangements for cleanliness. Here,
if the prisoner wants q drink of
water, he has but to turn a brass
cock, and water flows from the iron
reservoir which rests on the top of
thg cells. Washing water is OBJ
tained in the same way. Here is
also located the water closet, con-
nected with perfect system of
sewerage. 1t will be seen that with
all the advantages these arrange
ments furnish, that the officer in
charge will have none of the disa-
greeable and dirty tasks to perform.
1t is complete Jail in all its ap-
pointments, and more than COM
plete in its locking arrangements.
By means of this system of locks g
woman can handle a jail full of
prisoners as easily as man. The
prisoners are locked up in their
cells by means of a lever from the
outside, by means of which the jail
er can handle his prisoners without
coming in contact with them.
This is an important feature and
gives the jailor a sure protection
against surprises and assaults. We
will not enlarge upon this descrip-
ton, but will leave it to those who
desire for this knowledge to investi-
gate for themselves. We believe
our county commissioners have act
ed wisely in purchasing these cells,
and we believe Custer County can
boast of the best Jail and cells in
the territory.1[Journal, 29th.
