The Yellowstone country has been for
many years the main battle ground, in
the United States, between civilization
and barbarism, and now when the former
has triumphed; when old battle fields
are .flourishine farms; when school
houses have taken the place of stockades,
the time has come to record it's early
history, for the deeds of its pioneers, the
tales of their toll, privations and acts of
heroism are fast being buried by the grave
digger time. To rescue some of these
from oblivion and to show the coming
people what kind of stuff the early set
tiers were made of is the wish of the
writer.

LOOK OUT FOR 1T.

In this issue of our paper will be found
the opening chapter of the history Of this
and the Yellowstone country, containing
record of the many daring and thrilling
exploits of the bold pioneers who by
their efforts have wrested that country
from the hands of the Sioux. Ever
since this paper was started we have
entertained the idea of collecting the
data and history of the early pioneers,
thinking that their deeds and heroic
struggles were being lost and that they
deserved chronicling, a few more years
and the survivors will have passed from
earth's scenes and struggles and their
"reminiscences will die with them. In
order to do this we have secured the CO.
operation and assistance of gentleman
well qualified by his knowledge of many
Of those exciting scenes and familiar
acquaintance with the actors in many
more. He has been for some time dill
gently at work and at considerable cost
of time and money in getting hold Of
facts and details. Each issue of the paper
will contain one or more chapters of the
results of his labors until his work is
completed, and then it is his intention
to put it in book form.
The aim of these chroniclings will be
to give a truthful account. Gathered
from 80 many sources and from so many
different persons it will call forth some
criticisms as to their absolute correctness.
Criticisms which will lead the author to
doubt the authenticity of what he has re-
corded will be thankfully received and
needed, as it is his desire that it shall
strictly conform to the true history of
those times. Valuable suggestions may
bs given him at any time by many of the
"old timers" In fact all the actors in q
particular struggle cannot see things
alike, therefore the aim will be to take
that which seems most plausible and
reasonable on its face and eliminating as
much as possible, the chat. We bespeak
for these articles a careful and critical
reading of all those interested in seeing
that they are such as should go down in
history as truthful and correct.

The new town at the southern term
linus of the Park branch of the Northern
Pacific railroad promises to be live and
PROSPEROUS place at no late day. Situated
as it is so near the mines of Bear Crevice
and other gold and silver bearing quartz
and placer gold mines, and also the near
est to the celebrated Clarke's Fork mines
is sufficient to insure good place to say
nothing of its being an out-fitting point
for tourists to the National Park. The
progress made in the development of the
mines around it has been necessarily
slow, as they were located on an Indian
reservation but now that those lands
have been ceded to the government and
a railroad will ere long be at their very
door, it is expected that the development
ofthem will soon be rapid as well as pro-
ductive. Altogether the outlook for a
good town is very encouraging.
