ssStill in the Ring"

While walking up Main Street last
Monday, the reporters attention was
directed to the large number of boxes
being unloaded in front of Humbert &
Kennetts. Upon stepping inside we
found Manager Francis in his shirt
sleeves, looking at the bottom OF large
box, and in answer to our inquiry he re-
piled that the firm were getting in an
immense stock of clothing, gents fur
nishing goods, ETC., for the fall trade. tie
also wished us to say that the goods
would bs sold at close margin, and con-
sisted of the latest styles. "Tell EN-
he said, 'that kid can, for $3.50, get q
suit of clothes good enough to appear
among the great headlights at Washing
ton" This firm is one of the most en-
terprising in the west, and as result to
an enormous business. There are few
firms in Montana that spend as much
money in judicions advertising. They
make it pay.

TWO Men Drowned.

Nelse Catlin returned from the Park on
Saturday and informs us of the recovery
of the dead bodies of Parker and Fogerty
who were drowned while crossing the
Yellowstone three miles from the lake.
Thos. P. Parker and J. F. Fogerty are the
names of the dead men. Parker's body
being found by Catlin and Fogertv by
Parker's uncle and party. Accompanying
the unfortunates were two young men
who rode large horses, while Parker and
Fogerty were riding small ponies. The
party got lost while going around the
lake and as soon as they arrived at the
Yellowstone attempted to cross over in
very deep water. When about half way
across the horeses and riders went down
and the men were never seen alive again.
Their companions went at once to Liv-
ingston and were confined in jail on
suspicion, but upon the recovery and
examination of the bodies they were
released. Mr.. Catlin upon Parker's per
son found $3.50, also some checks of de-
post. He buried the body and few
days afterwards met the party who were
seaching for the missing men.

The rivalry between st. Paul and Min
neapolis keeps the arithmetic men of the
two cities in state of constant agitation.
The Minneapolis figure fiend has recently
counted every name in the directories of
the two towns and finds that wicked St.
Paul. in order to maintain its prestige,
has made an error in footing of JIG. 1t
has also enumerated all it's servant girls,
which is a gross offence against good
taste. The Minneapolis man takes his
revenge by showing that men have a
poor chance in st. Paul. as there are 1910
widows there. The final result of his
searching review of untrustworthy ma
terial is the assertion that Minneapolis
has population of at least 5000, while
st. Paul has at most only 1900. The
counting of the names in two directories
shows that in St. Paul the letter S is the
predominating initial, while B, H and NJ
follow in order. In Minneapolis the
sequence is B, S, H, C and NJ. In each
U has the smallest number @, and q

with suggestions for tree planting and
acclimation; it will give the specific data
to forage plants, the very basis Of the
whole grasing business, and ascertain
what useful plants are adapted to cult
walton in the different climatic areas. by

ical reproduction. the country is being
mapped at the rate of from 5000 to TO-
600 square miles every season. Its nat

lands, the extent and conformation of
the uplands, the soils and subsoils, the
high and low-water marks, the sites for
the farmer and the grazier; in short, not
only the acres bought and owned, but
the potentialities Of untold wealth for all
future time and generations.

Mr.. Garlic, managing editor Of the
Pioneer Press has the following to say in
a recent issue of that widely circulated
sheet about the valley of the Gallatin.
descending the Belt range, the road
plunges into the happy valley of the
Gallatin, surrounded by mountains on
almost every side, made paradise of
productiveness by industry and irriga-
ton. The Northern Pacific road here
like the Union Pacific in Utah, finds an
old settled region, with farms and cities
waiting for its pathway of commerce.
The Gallatin valley, some thirty miles by
fifty, has been under cultivation for
twenty years, and agriculture under Tri-
CATION has passed beyond the experiment
tai stage to complete and astonishing
success. Specimens of grain were exhib-
tied at Bozeman which we were assured
represented yield of from forty-five to
sixty bushels per acre for wheat, and
upward of 100 for oats. Large Touring
mills already exist there, and the sue
cessful growth of barley has the compile
ment of breweries in vigorous and pro-
ductive operation. Our dinner table was
graced with numerous bottles of Boze-
man beer few hours after we reached
that prosperous city. As at Livingston,
the agricultural interest at Bozenan
threatens to be localized and obscured
by the growth of the mining and stock
interest. Besides a multitude Of rich
ores from the mines in the mountains
about Bozeman, we were shown an enor-
nous block of the first real bituminous
coal seen on the line, from a vein in the
mountain above the Bozeman tunnel.
Through all the Gallatin valley the road
runs constantly in sight of cultivated
farms, ruled in parallel lines with irri-
eating bitches and yellow with ripe
harvest or dotted with shocks of the gar
nered grain.
