Montana Stock i'm Good Shane.

FORT BENTON, Montana, Feb. 23.-
There have recently been much cold
weather and occasional light falls of
snow. Not having the usual Chinook
winds during that time, there is now
more snow on the ground than usual,
and it is too evenly distributed to suit
stockmen. Notwithstanding this, how
ever, cattle and sheep are in excellent
condition, and no loss worth mentioning
has occurred. The season is now so far
advanced that stock of all kinds will
winter well, as winter seldom fingers
longer than the middle of February or
the 1st of March. Sheep-owners who
since the winter of 1sS0-S1 have pre-
pared themselves with an abundance of
hay, have as vet fed little or none of it
to their flocks. The stock interests of
this territory is in highly prosperous
condition. Ii is doubtful ii any consid-
cradle quantity of stock cattle could be
bought for S35 per head, including all
branded calves. Sheep have not adj
vanced in price, but an unusual demand
for them has recently sprung up. 1t is
almost certain that the sheep interest of
Montana will increase rapidly, now that
it is becoming accessible by RAILROAD
During the last six years the wool pro-
duct of Texas grew from 100000 pounds
to $500, 900 pounds. The ratio of in
crease in Montana viii be larger than
this during the next five or six years.

The Woolen Faction.

This is the only extensive nanufactur-
ing interest of which Lancaster can
boast, but of this it can welibe proud,
if not of the quantity of goods turned
out, at least of the quality, which has
already placed this mill smong the
best in the state. The present factory
Is the outgrowth of much perseverance
and several failures; but pluck and
energy always wins and it has done
SO in this case. The factory was erected
back in the sixties, by stock company,
formed at the instigatiol of Mr.. Doug
lass Oliver, who had become somewhat
| interested in the manufacture of wooden
goods in the west part of the county.
The mill cost originally $4,000 and
WIS capable Of furnishing employ ment
for forty operatives and used about
100000 pounds of wool annually. The
venture, for various reasons, did not
prove y paying one, and The mill was
suffered to lie idle until 1880 when il
was purchased 10y the present proprie-
tors, who having first oYerhauled the
machinery and placed it on a footing
with the best mills in the state set the
looms in motion, sinas which time it
has been successfully operated, with a
growing popularity fd' its production,
each year. The factory is now what
is known as u 1.-TWO SCI factory run
ming two sets of cards and nine looms,
employing tllirty-iive hands. The pro-
duct of the factory is fine worsted fin
ished cassimers and line twilled hannels
and SO great is the reputation of the
factory on the latter article especially,
that two looms are kept constantly
running to keep ahead Of the demand.
Wherever the goods of the firm have
been introduced they have met, not
only with favor, but with demand for
more of the same kind. In fact the
demand is at times greater than the
supply and the firm have had to meet
this by manufacturing months in adj
vance. The time is not far distant
when extensive additions will have to be
made to the present buildings, in order
to keep pace with the demand for the
goods manufactured here.
1t must not be supposed however, that
this prosperity has just simply drifted
in upon the firm without any outside
assistance. The present flood tide re-
presents hard work, restless energy,
and obdurate pluck. Competition in
the lines of woolens was never greater
than at present, and when we say that
the products of the Lancaster Wooden
Mill ranks equal with the products of
the best mills III the country, it means
that an immense amount af work has
been done in order to place them there,
as well as careful attention to the
minutae of production Tho factory
has been under the immediate charge
of Mr.. John A. Street, who has shown
marked ability, and shrewd business
management of the delicate interests
which have been iiitasassestIo his charge.
AS the only manufacturing interest
of which the town can boast, and one
which is destined in time to grow to
much greater proportions, the factory
should command at once, the pride and
support of every live citizen. The
time ought not to be far distant when
it should be the only manufacturing in
terest in the city.

patch received here tonight from

MediH, a brother of Hon. Joseph Medill
and for many years managing editor OF
the Chicago Tribune, died there at 9
O'clock tonight. He was suffering from
consumption and his death was NOM

time ago he went to New Mexico and
Southern California, but taking cold
and becoming much worse, was brought
back to the house of his father-in-law,
Hon. j. b. Carson, Quincy, where he
died tonight
Samuel John Medill was born Nov.

Ohio. He lived on the farm and went
to the county school until April, 1850,
when he became connected with the
Coshocton Republican, of which paper
his brother Joseph was publisher. In
1852 he went 10 Cleveland, and in
1859 TO Chicago and went into the Office
of the Northwestern Prairie Farmer,
which was then published by his broth
er James. La 1860 he went into the
Tribune Job office. Soon after the war
broke out he made an effort to enlist,
but was rejected on account of his
youth; but in 1862 succeeded in passing
the required examination, and Joined
the Eighth Illinois cavalry. He serv-
ed in number of skirmishes in North
ern Virginia, but was attacked by in
flammatory rheumatism and discharg-
ed in November of that year. In 1868
he passed year in Beloit college,
and then returned to the Tribune In
the fall of 1868 he was put to work as
city reporter. subsequently he did
general work, and had it not been for
the transfer to executive duties would
have become an able .writer. In 1866
he accepted the place of assistant city
editor of the Republican, but the fol-
lowing year resigned and went to Can
ton, Ohio, where he remained until
january, 1868, when he returned to
Chicago as city editor of the Tribune.
In 1868 he went to Washington as
correspondent for the paper, remaining
there until 1874, when he was sent as
travelling special correspondent through
out the West. In the fall of that year,
Joseph Medill assuming control of the
Tribune made him Its managing editor,
place which he held until the day of
his death, and whose duties he perform
ed until failing health compelled him
to abandon them. In 1880 he was mar
ried to Miss Nellie NJ Carson of Quincy,
ILL.,, by whom he had one child, which
died a few days after birth. Last year
he became seriously i'll, since which
time he has been travelling in the South.
A few weeks ago he contracted ca
tarrhal affection of the stomach and was
brought to Mr. Carson's home at
Quincy. Last Sunday he was given up.
He performed honestly and well the
important duties which were entrusted
to him, and earned not only the trust
and respect of his employers, but also
the affection of those who worked I'M
der him.
