THE Minneapolis Journal finds that

THE Minneapolis Journal finds that
according to the correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune with the presidential
party the trip to the Yellowstone was
not solely for purposes of pleasure, but
to propose to the Indians the adoption
of a new policy, of which General Sher-
idan is the author, doing away with all
reservations and agencies, the lands now
held by the Indians to be purchased by
the government, in payment for which
bonds are to be issued, the interest pay
able semi-annually at certain convenient
forts. OF course the effect Of the adop-
ton Of this policy would be to transfer
control of Indian affairs from the inte-
rior to the war department. So far as
concerns that single purpose it would
meet with almost universal approval.
The people of the country, says the
Journal, are tired of a policy which has
made the frontier a battle line for fifty
years, and has cost thousands of lives
and many millions If treasure. Of the
details of the plan it will be time enough
to speak when they are better known,
and when the fact is established that
any such proposition has been made to
the Indians by authority of the presi-
dent or of Gen. Sheridan.

The Piegan and Blackfeet reservation
to the north Of the Missouri occupies a
vast expanse Of the choicest of lands,
the Milk river portion of it being SINH
lar in topography and in the richness Of
its soil to the famous Red river valley Of
the north. Its altitude is lower than
the valleys to the south, and it would
seem that its crop products would be
less subject to the blighting influences
of frosts. The warm breath of the Jap
an current penetrates to- certain extent
over this country, and as q result its
winters are many degrees milder than
those portions of Dakota and Minnesota
on the same Latitude. The bottoms on
this reservation are known to be very
rich. The same may be said of the Flat
head reservation, in the extreme north
west, with the addition that here the
genial influences of the Japan current
are more perceptibly felt, and apples,
pears, plums and other fruits can be
produced in greater abundance. ltWould

The Track Laid to C~algary-The Big Con
tract of Langdon, Shepard,
& Co.

WINNIPEG, Aug. 1.-THE construe-
ton of the Canadian Pacific was COM
pleted to Calgary to-day. This finishes
up Langdon, Shepard & Co. contract of
ga miles, which extended from Oak
Lake sixty-fiye miles west of here to
Calgary. The main track is now built
635 miles west of Winnipeg. The rap
idity with which the road was built is
acknowledged by railroad men to be
marvellous. Langdon, Shepard & CO.
receive for their work over $4,000, 900.
total cost to the Canadian Pacific of con-
structing the line to Calgary from Oak
Lake was over S~10,00O,OOO. M. Lang
don, in an interview this morning about
the work, said it had been done rapidly,
but with experience in construction the
firm now believe it could have been done
much faster. All the men employed by
the firm and all the outfits used in the
construction have been taken over by
the North American Railway Contrac-
ting company, which, under the super
intendence of James Ross, will carry on
the work to completion. Speaking Of
the constitution of the road west of Cal
gary through the Rocky mountains,
Mr.. Langdon said he would stake his
professional reputation that no ma eve
saw such a fine location for any railroad
through a mountain range. The grades
are not high and the road can be drilled
through the mountains with great facil-
ity. The line, he says, is located about
thirty miles beyond the summit OF the
mountains. When the work this year
is completed, there will only be 2So
miles of road to be built in order to make
connection with a line at Kamilope at
the Columbia river.

IT is currently rumored that the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul intend
running their line northwest from the
James river valley, crossing at or near
Cleveland, OAK, on the line of the
Northern Pacific, twenty miles west Of
Jamestown, and running to the Mouse
river country.-Pioneer Press.
1t would be safe to estimate that the
road will be in Benton in less than two
years from the time it strikes Mouse
river. So Q as the Blackfeet reserva-
ton is thrown open several railroads
will at once, and as rapidly as iron can
be laid, push into the land of promise
between the Missouri river and the
boundary line.

THE first number of the Mineral ar

THE first number of the Mineral dr.
gus, Maiden's new paper, was received
yesterday. It is a five column quarto,
with patent ."innards,o and is quite q
creditable sheet. It begins with a good
advertising patronage, and gives forth
abundant evidence of having come into
the mountains to stay. No. is bright
and newsy, and is pleasing in its me-
chanical appearance. The RIVER PRESS

THE article from the Minnesota 11i-
bane, with comments by the Livingston
Enterprise, published elsewhere, shows
that the project Of constructing an east
and west railroad through northern
Montana, between the Missouri river
and the northern boundary, is receiving
some attention from the press, and the
comment SO far as we have observed in
our exchanges is favorable. This is un-
doubtedly an inviting field for a rail-
road, and it is not going to be unoccu-
pied very long. Mr.. Hills road, the
Manitoba, is already extended to Devils
Lake, AND it is understood he will push
right on to the Mouse river country,
which is fully two-thirds of the way
from Grand Forks-where the branch
leaves the main track-to Fort Buford,
on the Missouri river. If the company
felt inclined to do SO they could easily
complete their line from the present ter
minus to Fort Buford in one season.
We do not believe construction will be
stopped until that point is reached, and
then with the opening of the reserva-
ton it will be extended or west to Fort
Benton and across the continent. The
opening of the reservation and the con-
sequent rapid settlement Of the country
now claimed by the red men will start
railroads at a lively rate into the coun-
try designated, and it's barely possible
that Benton's first road will come from
that direction.

seem that here are bodies of land that
should speedily be surrendered to the
use and occupation of the incoming
tide. It certainly will not be many
years before the popular demand to have
these enormous reservations reduced or
abolished will be heeded.-PbrHand

THE outlook in Ohio is becoming
more favorable to republican success in
the coming election with every day.
Judge Hoadly, the democratic nominee
for governor, is hurting his own candi-
dature by his speeches, and the republic
IAN are daily growing more hopeful.
Chief Justice Wade, of Montana, who
has been visiting relatives in Ohio some
time, was in Chicago last week, and a
special from that city to the st. Paul
Pioneer Press states that he represents
the Ohio republicans as in excellent
spirits, and vastly more confident than
they were a while ago of winning q vic
tory in that state. 1.-THE Scott law, = said
Judge Wade, lis proving more and
more popular every day. It is accepted
as a reasonable regulation of the traffic.
I think most of our former German
friends will be with us again this fall.
Taking it altogether, our republican
friends in Ohio are in pre- ty fair shape
this year. and confidently expect to win.
There is a feeling, too, that if Ohio goes
all right it viii tend to a quiet, peace
able settlement o. the presidential ques-
ton next year, and this serves as an
agent in producing republican unity and
melting republicans to work. Hoadly's
mouth has had q good deal TO Go with
the campaign of late, and the result has

THE visit Of Thomas Persse and w.
E. Belcher, Of Winnipeg, representa-
tives of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
is one of Importance to our citizens.
They are here to work up business for
their road, in the way of shipment of
cattle and sheep as we'll as merchandise.
The distance from this city to Maple
Greek, on the c.. P. is about 200 miles
less by 25 miles than the distance from
here to Billings-and if more favorable
rates can be secured our stock men and
merchants will certainly ship by the
Canadian Pacific. Tt is about as CON
venient to ship n way as another, and
the matter of rates will decide between
them. Messrs. Persse and Belcher can
secure for their road the business of this
-section-and it is no small item-by Of
fering the proper inducements. 1t de-
ponds entirely upon the spirit shown
by the G.. p. authorities as to whether Or
not. they are to control the large and
growing business of northern Montana.
Indeed, if they would take the proper
view of it they would see the necessity
Of extending a branch line to Benton in
advance of the Northern Pacific and
thus secure what would be from the
start an important feeder for their road.
