ton and Helena railroad would have
been a doubtful enterprise, so far as its
immediate future would have been con-
cerned; nov it is an assured success,
and its construction in the near future
is a certainty. If the company referred
to does not build it some other one will.
OF this there is no doubt. 1t will be a
lucky day for Helena if some company
not under the influence of the Northern
Pacific management takes the project in
hand and puts it through. That city
would then have connection with the
Missouri river, with the Canadian Paci-
ic, and in a very short time with the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba, and
could command the very best rates of
transportation. If, however, the line is
put through by the Northern Pacific
and W. half suspect it is a scheme in
the interest of that company-Helena
will be in just the same box she is to-
day, if, III fact, the screws are not turned
on Just a little more. Further develop
ments in the proposed enterprise will be
watched with interest in this quarter.

A Successful Flying Machine.

MI. H. c. Linfeld, the inventor of a
flying machine, conducted an expert
ment with his enyention yesterday be-
tween Colnbrook and West Drayton.
The apparatus, which is described as a
steam sailing machine, is constructed of
light wood, and is shaped like the frame
of a four-Wheeled carriage, with two
large wheels in front and two small ones
behind. Motive power is to be obtained
by steam, which will work a nine
bladed screw, and the inventors idea is
to propel the machine by steam on land
until it obtains a speed of thirty or
t~hirty-five miles, a velocity which he
calculates will be sufficient to lift the
machine into the air, when it will be
navigated by mean Of the sails with
which it is fitted. From the result of
his experiment yesterday he is confident
that it is possible to fly in the air at the
height Of a mile.
BY the permission of the Great West
ern railway company, the experiment
was made on the newly finished portion
of the railway to Staines, between Coin
brook and West Drayton, and the in
ventor was accompanied by MI. Trey
thick, the locomotive superintendent
of the company at Paddingten. The
machine was placed on a truck and CON
nected with al engine, from whence
the steam was derived, and the gearing
was manipulated from another truck.
The operator succeeded in getting the
machine lifted from the truck into the
air, and expressed himself fully satisfied
with the result of the trial.-From the
London Standard.

Northern Pacific Coal.

Ex-Congressman N. G.. Deering and
w. L. Eaton of Usage, Iowa, represent
ing a syndicate of Iowa capitalists, on
Monday completed the purchase of TWEEN
ty-five acres of valuable coal lands. of
General Land Agent Wemyss of the
Northern Pacific. The lands are located
IN the east side of the Missouri river,
sixty miles northwest Of Bismarck, and
contain a nine-foot vein ~outcropping on
the bank of the river, $50 feet below the
surface. This is the first coal develop
ment east of the Missouri and the coal
is in quality much superior to the lig-
mite found west of the stream. The
field seems to be quite extensive and it
is understood that the syndicate will
probably increase their purchase. The
gentlemen composing the party are near
~ all capitalists of large means and
wide business experience, and it is their
intention to prepare their planta and COM
mence working the vein in the neal fu-
ture, having bought the land for the
purpose of developing its and
not for speculation. The articles of in
corporation of the organization will be
filed in a few DAYS.

A Train Load of Salmon.

Yesterday afternoon the train load of
salmon from the Pacific coast came in
from the west. It consisted of twenty
five box cars, each of which was loaded
with cases of salmon taken from the
Columbia river and canned at various
points in Oregon and Washington
Brookfeld, Fisherton, Astori, Portland
and other cities and towns of the Pacific
coast. The bulk Of this great shipment
was consigned to New York firms,
though we noticed Pittsburgh, Pa,
marked as the destination of one car
load.
The cars were gaily decorated with
the advertisement of their cargoes. In
a few instances their broad sides were
covered with a mammoth fac-simile of
the Wrappers that cover the salmon cans,
while others presented gaudily painted
canvas bearing the names Of the fisher
man, Gamer, shipper, c%onsignee, and
various other particulars in the adver-
Using way.-Pioneer Press, 23d.

Emigration from Manitoba.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-A Montreal
correspondent of the New York Bulletin
says that grave rumors are in circulation
there respecting the success of the Cana
dian Pacific railway. The exodus from
Manitoba this season has reached alarm
ing proportions, and it is not denied by
the railroad authorities that the emigra-
ton from the province exceeds the I'M
migrations into it for the season Of 1883.
The heavy freight charges imposed by
the railroad and the severity of the win
tiers are said to have made living SO ex-
pensive that many people have decided
to leave the country. It might also be
said the speculative boom in Manitoba
is about hattened out.

ACORREsPONDENT of the Indianapolis

with the heat. The burning area is
from ten to fifteen rods square, and has
been on fire since the first visit by white
men, and no one knows how many cen
turtles before. 1t is only one of a num-
Der of fires that are known on the Bad
Lands" The writer goes on to say
that the Bad Lands are probably the ash
es OF extinct coal fires.

How an Indian Catches Trout.

A young buck was asked to show us
how he caught fish. He proceeded to
unbraid a plat of hair which hung
about two feet over his shoulders. He
carefully plucked 8. long hair, and tax
ing a small hook from the depth Of his
pocket began to make a fly. He wound
it back and forth with great dexterity
until he had gathered a cluster of little
loops which concealed the point of the
hook in a puff of jetty floss. He tied it
to a line twelve feetin length, and for a
rod used a stick about the same length.
He was ready forsbusiness. He APP
preached the creek and got down on his
hands and knees, whipping the hook
into the water and taking it out at once.
Then he craWled a little further, to a
spot where there was a small pool in a
bend, and, dropping in his fly, kept it
dancing up and down on the surface OF
the stream. Inamoment q trout weigh
ing nearly a pound took. The Indian
went through nc fancy performance
with his fish, ~butjerked him out at once,
and in half a minute landed a second.
Thea he moved on to another bend, and
by similar tactics took out five, ranging
from a half pound to a pound in
weight.
There were three of us white men,
and it took us all an hour to catch two
in the same stream. It was alleged that
they did not bite well that day. At any
rate they manifested a preference for
Flathead hair, than the most toothsome
grasshoppers which we offered them.

Letting candidates for delegates to the

select the candidates according to the
apportionment made (Choteau county
has two delegates and at the same time
to appoint delegates to the judicial dis
trict conventions which will select the
candidates for delegates at large, Of
which there are two from each judicial
district. The convention for this dis
trict will be held at Helena on the 18th
of October, at which Choteau county
will be entitled to two delegates. While
there are two delegates a5 large to be
elected in each judicial district, no elect
or will be entitled to vote for more than
one, the evident intention Of this plan
being to divide the six judicial delegates

THE article which we reprint from
the Independent this morning in regard
to a proposed railroad from Helena to
this city will be read with interest. This
is not the first time a company has been
formed to construct a railroad from the
eapital to the head of navigation, but
until now the time has not been ripe for
the accomplishment of the work, and
no one ever expected that anything
would be done towards it. Now the
case is different. The main line of the
Northern Pacific is completed, and a
railway between Fort Benton and Hell
ena would be something more than an
artery connecting these two cities; it
would be a link in the great railroad
chain connecting nor ,hern Montana

Handson,eln Remembered .

The fight in the board of education over
the question of teaching German in the
public schools is matter of the past.
Members of the board differed as to the
advisability of continuing such study,
but the friends of the measure finally tri-
umphed. The result was especially graft
flying to German residents of the city, and
as a testimonial Of appreciation of the
course of those members who steadily and
consistently advocated the retention of the
study, they contributed to the presenta-
ton to each of set of Schiller's works in
four volumes, and of Goethe's
in eight volumes. Each
set was enclosed in a morocco case. in
scribed: TO Hon. giving name) by his

mission was as follows:
Your fellow citizens of German birth desire US
to express to you their qualification at the course
you pursued in regard to the teaching OF Ger
