WARNED BY A SPECTER

General Banks, having relieved
Butler at New Orleans, found him
self in command of about 1900 men,
composing the Nineteenth Army
Corps. The new aspirant for mill
tary honOrs did not find the situa-
tion in so hopeful a condition as he
had been led to suppose before lcav-
ing the North. Grant had met with
reverses on his way to Vicksburg
and had fallen back. Sherman was
barely holding his own at Chickasaw
bayou and Banks felt rather blue as
he looked over the ground.
Such was the situation OF affairs
when the United States steamer Blue
B'dzeS' Joined the Gulf squadron.
Commander Renshaw was in charge
Of Uncle SANS interests at Calves
ton. He had forwarded a request to
General Banks for troops to garrison
the place and Colonel Burrill Of the
Forty-second Massachusetts, was i'm
medlatelY dispatched with eco rank
and file. They landed and encamped
on the 2sth Of December, with the
gunboats Westfeld, CLIFTON, Harriet
Lane, OUasco, CorypheUS and Sdchem
at anchor before the city. General
Magruder, who had distinguished
himself in the peninsular by his skill
full resistance Of Mcclellan, was in
command Of the department, with a
hardy, active corps Of veterans under
him.
1t was the thirty-first day Of De-
cember, 1862, the last day of the old
and dying year. On board the Har-
riet Lane all was hurry and hustle,
preparing the vessel for an entertain
ment given by the bold, generous
and chivalrous young commander,
wainwright, to his brother officers in
the little feet. In due time the
guests repaired on board, including
Colonel Burrill and his staff, and the
cabin Of the Harriet Lane was filled
with officers representing both
branches Of the service. In the midst
Of the festivities the officer Of the
deck ushered into the presence Of
the gentlemen stranger, whose un-
lSempt appearance-clOthes torn and
stained by mud and swamp-water, a
long rifle carried In the hollow Of his
arm-was in strange contrast to the
well-fitting and brilliant uniforms
worn by the naval officers. Remov-
ing his apology Of a cap, the scout
and Union spy bowed awkwardly,

COUNTY ASSESSMENT.


PRINCIPAL TOWNS
Surrounding the commercial metrOp-
olis-Spokane Falls-and contribute
50 much to its rapid growth, pros
perity and permanent stability, are
Cheney, Sprague, Davenport, Deep
Greek Falls, Rockford, Rathdrum,
Huntington, Medical Lake, Colville
and some of minor Importance. As
they are all surrounded by a good
agricultural country of great extent,
their development will materially
assist in the maintenance Of our city,
commercially and otherwise, and
will each in turn receive special men
tiOn at an early date.
THE CLIMATE.
"What a plague a cough is, sir?"
For nearly a year preceding my ar
rival here, such caustic remarks as
"He's bOoked,y "That's nearly the
end Of him" etc. should now like
to match against the best Of them in
a "six day go-as-you-please," and
feel that 1 would come out an easy
victor. Spring begins in February
with warm, pleasant weather, and
lasts till the middle Of May and a
part Of June, rain falls in sufficient
quantity to give vegetation a start,
harvest begins about the 10th Of July
and the skies are clear generally on
into September. Winter usually sets
, 1883-07-14

in about January lst Some seasons
snow may lay a month or six weeks,
but this is rare; it usually disappears
within few days. The suddenness
of its disappearance is due to the
phenomenon called a "ChinOOk," Il
periodical warm south wind, before
which the snow mclts more rapidly
than under the heat Of sun. The
past winter was here as elsewhere,
one of unusual severity. The ther-
mometer Is said to have twice regis
tered as low as 2S0, but horses and
cattle looked in excellent condition
in the spring, after roaming at large
for the winter months. During the
month Of March last past, fire was
entirely unnecessary, other than for
cooking purposes. From about the
goth of February until April 10th, the
days were clear- and warm. During
prevailing April showers, fire became
necessary to remove dampness. The
average temperature for 1882 was

REAL ESTATE.
The advance in prices Of real estate
since March LIST has been much in
keeping with the demand. The rise
has not exceeded 10 per cent. Much
eastern capital is coming in and sales
continue very active, Messrs. Hart
son & Townsend are now engaged in
plating additions of 10 and 40 acres
on the north and south side of the
river respectively, the former lying
accessible to the new bridge; the lat
ter they are plating in acre tracts,
so as 10 enable the purchasers to have
good gardens, etc. The Spokane
Land and Improvement Co., under
the management of Banker McCar-
thcr, late of Fargo, ID. r., and Mr..
Claiming, secretary of that COM
pany, has just completed their new
buildings for the transaction of a
general real estate business, and
have been purchasing very eXten-
sively in town and surrounding
country. Morgan & Co., associated
with the First National Bank, report
heavy sales during the past week, as
also f, T. Clark, complete the list.
ROADS.
The roads are at all seasons Of the
year good and well maintained.
Daily stages run to principal towns
not accessible by rail.
RAILROADS (PRoJECTED).
On completion Of the main line it
is expected that the n. p. r. II. will
begin operations of one, at least, of
their projected lines radiating from
this point. The Hangman branch
will traverse a rich agricultural coun-
try, to connect with the Snake river
system, south. The Colville branch
to Kettle Falls, on the Columbia
river, $50 miles,, the charter Of which
has been recently granted, will con-
meet with a direct system of naviga-
bic waters, affOrdiug uninterrupted
navigation for 800 miles, and tapping
the trade of the c. p. II. r. at Kick
ing Horse Pass, in the British Pos
sessions. A direct line to Seattle, on
the Sound, is also under advisement,
to pass through the Big Bend coun-
try and tap the Yakima branch, in
the Yakima valley. This road is
now being constructed and will be
known as the continuation of the
main line of the n. p. r. II. to the
Sound. Respectful yours,

know the years have rolled across thy grave
TIL It has grown a plot OF level grass
All summer does Its green luxurlance wave
In silken simmer on thy breast, alas!
And all the winter It is lost to sight
Beneath windlng-sheet Of chilly white.
know the precious pane loved so much
Is heard no more the haunts OF men among;
The tree thou plantedst has outgrown thy
touch,
And sings to alien ears its murmuTing song;
The lattice-rose forgets thy tendance sweet,
The air thy laughter, and the sod thy feet
Through the dear wood where grew thy vIo-
lets
Lies the worn track OF travel, toll and trade;
The steam's imprisoned demon fumes and
frets,
with shrleks that scare the wild bird from
the shade.
Mills vex the lazy stream, and on It's shore
The timid harebell swings its chimes no more.

The Dillon tribune., 1883-07-07

Wool is beginning to arrive at the Dillon
depot. AT present there are no buyers or
commission people operating in this sec.
ton. 1t is estimated that the wool clip OF
Southwestern Montana will reach six hun.
bred thousand pounds this season, and of
course the condition of the wool market is
a matter OF interest to holders. BrMist,cct,
for last week, a reliable authority, says:
"The situation and outlook have not mate
RALLY changed during the past week. Con.
sumers have been operating with caution
in all the markets, and there has been little
or no tcndenc, to speculation. AS regards
values, the position favors buyers and the
general feeling continues weak. Occasion.
al concessions have been made to increase
sales, but the market as a rule, is not quo.
tably lower. There is good deal of un.
certainty as to the future of the market,
and all classes Of operators are disposed to
move cautiously pending the developments
of the next thirty days, as during that time
the new tariff on wool and its manufactures
will have gone into effect, and great part
OF the new clip will be concentrated in the
scaboard markets. Manufacturers are buy
ing sparingly in the belief that lower prices
will prevail later in the season."

THE COMING DENVER EXPOSITION

Il is expected that the mine. owners Of
the Territory will not forget the great ad-
vantages that will accrue to Montana BY
having the Northern mines Of the Rocky
Mountains thoroughly represented at the
Second Denver Exposition. From the best
sources of information obtainable we learn
that the Exposition Of this year will be far
better in every respect than that of last
year. This being fact, it would seem to
be sufficient incentive to mine.owners to
do all in their power to aid in contributing
specimens Of ore to aid in swelling Mon
tana's exhibit. The trouble and expense of
procuring and forwarding specimens is
trihing, and there is no reason why every
mine of prominence in Montana Terri
tory should not be represented by satn.
pie of ore. Hundreds Of mines in Mon
tana to-day are awaiting capital for their
development and to erect reduction works
to treat the ores. The Denver Exposition
will be the place to display mineral speci-
mems, for at the Exposition there will be
assembled thousands OF mining men, ex.
perts, and capitalists, looking for fields for
investment. The chance Of putting Mon.
tana foremos: in the great exhibit should
not be neglected. We have the ores in the
Territory to make grand showing and
the approaching opportunity should not be
ignored.

A CHANGE VIA SHERIDAN.

Since the discontinuance of the postoffice
at Salisbury the citizens Of the Lower Ru-

Sheridan made the connecting and distrib-
uting point for the Virginia City stages
and the Dillon and Helena coaches. A
gentleman from Sheridan informs us that
that the project is in fair OF being accom-
plished, as new bridge is 10 he put across
the Ruby river and a new piece of road
opened in Madison county, making i, near

Gil,ner, Salisbury & Co. have secured the
ground and buildings at Sheridan, and ap-
plication has been made to the Postotfice
Department tor permission to make the
necessary change in the route from Dillon
to Helena. The last A/mii.oWian says:
"The papers authorizing the change are
expected daily, as, it being SO manitestly
beneficial t. the public at large, it is thought
there can he no opposition thereto"

rHE EuUEsrR1ENNE CONTEST.

The ladies' riding contest at the race
course late OIL the afternoon Of the Fourth
was witnessed BY large crowd contrary
to expectations the number Of contestants
was limited. 1t was expected that quite a
number of ladies from Bannack, the val
lev, and Dillon, would participate, but only
three appeared at the Judges stand at the
send. of. Several young ladies were on
their way from Dillon to the course when
the contest was called, but they were BE-
hind time, and in consequence were lett
out. Mrs. Joe c. keppler, Of Glendale
Mrs. Carrie Mccall Graham, and Miss
Beck with. Of Spring Hin, were the con-
testing rgaestriewncs y turn around the
track, and repeat, gave the contestants a
fair chance to display their skill in horse
manship and gracefuIness in riding. The
riding was graceful and elected complt'
mentary comments from all present. The
Judges awarded the first prize Of a nice side
saddle to Mrs. keppler, and the second
prize Of fine pair Of gold bracelets to Mrs.
McC Graham. Next time It IL hoped
Dillon girls will put on little more steam,
so to speak, in getting into their riding
dresses and be on the ground on time.

THE RACES.

The races at the half.mile circle track on
,,,s Fourth were attended by large crowd.
The track was in poor condition TOT max
inc fast time. as the dust was nearly hoot
deep. In the acknowledgment free to al!
race considerable delay was experienced
In starting. The horses entered were Ohm
Estes Treasure Box colt, Ed KeadicKers
Baby, Emerick's unknown" Joe Mes''ns
Cricket, Charley Blunt's pinto, Nat wo t.s, =
horse. and one more-seven In all. Inc
first heat was declared no race, as the start
er. Sheriff Reinhardt, did not give the word
"eo.' but the horses went through, with
lively struggle to win. The Estes colt did
fine running, but in passing the Lemonade
stand, leading the Others, he became un'
manageable and left the track, dashing un'
der the judges stand at tremendou" speed
The colt struck his nose against heavy
beam Of the stand, and horse and rider
were violently thrown to the ground, but
luckily both escaped serious injury. The
Readicker mare kept the track and passed
the score first, but It was declared no race
on account of false start. In the second
trial tn. Estes colt and Readicker mare
were withdrawn. The five others got fair
send of, with Cricket taking the lead, but
in making quick turn to get the inside
Dan Gallagher, the rider, was dumped
and Cricket was out Of the race. The 9th.
er horses went through and Woods horse
won. The observation-disclosures race be.
tween Bliven's Keno and Blunt's Coon was
very close. 1t was nose and nose-and
Keno was beaten by head. In the scrub
dash Boddy's Butcher Boy" pony Of In
dian pedigree, won easily. There was nc
trotting races. Murray's trotter was on the
ground and other horses, but the dust was
too deep for trotting. Charley Miller had
the "Glendale Skeleton" on the track, but
everyone was afraid Of the aged animal, and
no race was got for the Skeleton, although
he had been fed on dried hay, dried apples
and Milwaukee beer for whole week t.
swell him up and put him in Maud S. trim

INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR.

The appointment Of Col. HOLSTER, OF
Salt Lake, as Internal Revenue Collector
for the consolidated dis:ric, Of Utah, Idaho
and Montana WAS reconsidered by the Pres
ident, and Gen. Tom P. Fuller, our present
popular Collector was appointed instead Of
Col. Hollister. The report for 1881 Of the
internal revenue receipts Of the three Ter
ritories was as follows: Idaho, $31,oso;
Utah, $4,000; Montana, $6Sooo-Mon.
tana exceeding Utah $4,000. This is Civ.
en- as the reason for the change. The head
quarters of the Collector will be at Helena
instead Of Salt Lake. Score one more for
Helena. But, as this was case wherein
the Hub of Montana got away with the
Center stake Of Mormomdom there will be
no mourning in the outside precincts Of
this Territory. The Mor'nons are no great
shakes anyway, and sub-collector is good
enough to collect the revenues on vile
"valley tan" WHISTLES and carrot wines.
