Cultivating Dry Uplands.

Some Of our granger friends are disposed
to consider the suggestion that uplands close
TO the mountains can be successfully cultiva-
ted without irrigation rs pleasantly. Frank
j. Stephens asked us the other day when we
proposed to start in on high ranching. In
this connection we have to say that Col. j.
d. jerks is this season raising crop Of pc.
tatoes on a north hill side q mile west of
town which has not had particle Of water
except from rain, of which there has been
this season much less than the usual quantity,
and the crop is not only good but the pota-
toes, of the Early Goodrich or Snow Flake
variety, are about the best we ever saw.
Four, taken from one hill and left in this
Office yesterday, weighed two and o half
pounds, and they had not yet got their
growth. When you are disposed to laugh at
the idea of cultivating uplands without irri.
CATION, just bear in mind that 1t Is only few
years since wheat or barley was grown in
this valley, only few years since flowers
were grown out doors in Deer Lodge, and
that the practicability of growing these
things was very seriously doubted. We con.
fess skepticism ourself as to the upland grain
growing without irrigation. But don't DO too
hasty in conclusions. We think however
that the Northern Pacific Il. r. Co., owner
of half the lands, would find il to Its interest
to have this matter demonstrated and might
afford to encourage the experiment.

ton of his farm which adjoins the town site,
and now offers for sale his entire stud of

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
To BE Called tho Helena and Jefferson Coun-
ty Railroad.

The Independent some days since announced
be Of immense service in developing the
mines Of Jefferson county near Helena. Il Is
stated Mr.. 8. T. Hauser, on his recent visit
east, enlisted the Northern Pacific company
In the scheme Of building standard gauge
railroad from their main line to wickes, vta
Clancy and Jefferson City, and that II right
Of way can be had 1t win be completed with.
in the next ninety days. We very much
suspect this scheme was determined upon in
Deer Lodge the night Messrs. Hauser and D..
@. Corbin drove over here and set up with
Vice President Cakes for the erysipelas, and
that the present report is the announcement
made since the details were perfected. 1t IL
. good scheme, however, although II we un-
derstand It the intersection will be some seven
miles east of, instead Of at, Helena.
1t Is also stated that Mr.. Hsuser succeeded
in organizing new company with three
million dollars capital. which has bought out
the Alta Montana mines and works and that
the Gregory company has increased Its stock
and will greatly enlarge its facilities. The
Northern Pacific gives very low rates and 10
materially encouraging industry on tho line
Of its road. As We do not recollect Of ever
having said good word for Mr.. 8. T. Hauser
before, We wish now to congratulate Helena
on having such citizen. He has the intel.
ligence, alertness, indomitable will, and ire.
pressible energy that make circumstances
and command results. Helena has other live
citizens, but Sam Hauser Is chief He Is one
who thinks, originates, and accomplishes, or
being once downed goes at 1t again, and
when no dies, If Helena don't set up his
statue in imperishable marble and treat it
with the respect due a patron saint, she ought
to havo her city charter revoked and be
admit that this Ii true.

The Road Agent Capture.

In the account of the capture Of the road
agents, the Helena papers, in giving the en-
tire credit of the trailing and capture, do an
injustice, doubtless unintsntionally, TO Under
Sheriff McTague and Mr.. Riddle, of this
county. When McTague left here with his
posse on Sunday evening, he notified Sheriff
Fitzpatrick, of Helena, and asked him TO
send posse. Deputy Sheriff Steele Joined
the Deer Lodge party at Keene's that night.
But the next morning McTague, Riddle,
Written, and Hauschild were the only ones
trailed the wagon half mile before meeting
any others of the pursuers. The party then
consolidated and followed the wagon trail,
missing IL on the Priest Pass road Riddle,
Steele, and McTague went into Helena Mon
day night, came back on the Priest Pass road,
got on the trail again, and run itinto Helena.
They were acting in harmony and were all
satisfied. On reaching Helena Riddle and
McTague reft Steele ut Payne's Hotel 70 get
a description OF the robbers from the Priest
Pass toll keeper, while they went TO the sew
eral stables and corrals and thence to the de-
pot to see IL they could find their men or
wagon, thinking the robbers might dispose OF
their outfit and board the train. While they
were thus employed Sheriff Fitzpatrick got
tiding> of the robbers and sent Deputies
Steele and Roberts in pursuit, but did not
notify Riddle or McTague Of the facts. The
latter think they were not well treated In the
matter BY Sheriff Fitzpatrick, and expressed
their indignation quite forcibly. Any one
who knows the two men will admit that they
would have been first-class men in case Of .
fight. and having started the game and staid
with IL In good faith, the ''shake" they got
when the game was within reach was not
such treatment an they should have received.

History Of Montana.

The History Of Montana which was being
prepared bY Mr.. Stewart and which has been
in suspense since his death, has been taken
hold of by the Territorial Historical Society
and placed in charge of Mr.. M. A. Lesson, q
gentleman who has had large experience in
historical writings and who has full power to
prepare, compile, arrange and publish it in
accordance with his own plans. Mr.. Lesson
has been in Deer Lodge and Missoula during
the past week and has obtained vast amount
of material for his work. He knows just
what he wants and is the most rapid indefa-
tigable worker we have seen. We doubt IL
the History would have beenso we'll prepared
by Mr.. Stewart as it will be by Mr.. Lesson.
1t will be complete from the earliest obtain
able facts until the present and a work, If
completed as contemplated, that will
be necessity to every intelligent citizen Of
the territory, embracing its military, polit-
ical, and Judicial history, with biographical
and statistical matter, and a full exhibit ofthe
resources and industries of the Territory.
The work will contain 1900 to 1900 pages u
by 10l inches in size, printed on good paper
and substantially bound. We wish Mr.. Leo
son success in his worthy enterprise and the
reward that IL due his labors.

Not the least Of the disadvantages Of many
Of our Montana towns Is the scarcity Of good
water-that Is, In sufficient quantity to irri-
gate lawns, ETC., and Of approvable quality
for domestic purposes. 1t Is becoming
very noticeable fact IN Deer Lodge that not
only Is the supply insufficient and unreliable
for irrigation, but the quality of well water,
consequent on the increased number Of build
ings and the population. is deteriorating very
materially. It II estimated 1t win cost S28,-
go to pipe water to the center Of town from
two miles up Cottonwood creek. That would
insure . constant adequate supply Of excel
lent water under pressure of ut least $50
feet. and would be an almost absolute guar
antee against destructive fire. It In what
should be done. 1t Is q project that win
eventually pay. 1t Is an enterprise, which,
were the town incorporated, 1t would be
wise to secure the speedy consum nation of
by aiding 1t, but rs that is not the case IL de-
ponds upon the public spirit Of citizens who
are able to do so to undertake and doit. We
have thought perhaps artesian wells might
In the near future to some extent mitigate
the evils we are laboring under, but they
would at best but partially meet the case.
One of the chief advantages viii be for pro-
lection against fires-an lnexhaustible sup
ply under great pressure. That Is not q
probability with an artesian well, as IL We
should 60 to the uplands necessary to secure
pressure the probability of success would be
diminished, the depth increased, and DIS
lance added until the possible advantages
would not compensate the chances. Our
town is peculiarly well situated for piping
from the pure waters of Cottonwood creek,
and the grade is so heavy and regular that all
the pressure necessary could be had in two
miles and the pipe laid below frost on an al
most natural grade line. or course it would
cost still more money to conduct water from
the mains to private property, and drainage
would also have to be provided. Weknowit
involves q large expenditure. Bat would 1t
not be amply compensated? 1t is the only
remedy for existing and increasing evils.
This matter has been talked of by a number
of our citizens. We believe II those who
have capital would take hold Of it large
proportion of the money could DO raised by
issuing stock redeemable in water, and that
the company would in two or three years find
itself with permanent franchise paying .
handsome interest on the capital stock.
