4 STEtNuE SPECTACLE.
Eighteen Steers Frozen In the Ice in
the Snake River.

The passengers bound in on the
kelton coach were treated to a novel
sight at the crossing of Snake River,
a couple of days ago. Under the ice,
which was as transparent as crystal,
could be plainly seen Is huge long
horned steers, and as they appeared
to be magni6ed under the ice they
presented weird spectacle. Two of
them had their heads frozen i'm the ice.
and their long horns protruded full
length above the ice, while two others
were back downward and their feet
above the surface.
This is band that was being driv-
en- over the river at Starrh's ferry
and, the ice breaking, 10 head went
througi-oniy seven of the humble,
having escaped.
A similar accident occurred last
winter at the same place.

SMITHS SPRINGS.
The improvements Projected there for
Next Summer.

J. l.. G. Smith is arranging a plan
for his grand dancing pavilion to be
erected shortly at theHot Springs, and
will have music engaged regularly
during the season. The tub baths are
enjoyed at present by numbers of
visitors, but during the summer the
swimming bath will be housed in and
in winter will be heated. There will
be croquet grounds, base ball field,
and other attractions, beside the dane
ing pavilion, in summer. When the
Narrow Gauge trains run between
Haley and Bullion the springs can be
reached in five minutes from town at
a cost of ten cents, and will doubtless
be the fashionable resort. The waters
have as effective curative properties
as the celebrated Las Vegas springs
of New Mexico.

NcCONKEY,s SUICIDE.
White Pine COunty's Defaulting
Treasurer.

There seems to be no longer any
doubt, says the Reno Gazette of JAN
uary s, that McConkey, the late
Treasurer of White Pine county, COM
mitted suicide. Detective Hume came
in from Hamilton on last nights train,
not thinking it necessary to longer re-
main. Mr.. Hume says he arrived at
Hamilton in the evening and was
satisfied in very short time that he
could do no good by remaining. 1t
seems Mr.. McConkey had been doing
quite business in the stock broker
line, buying stocks for other people.
Such business had all been transacted
in his own name, and the stocks found,
and figured in his assets, belong to
others. The county funds are about
81 900 short, instead of $4,000, as at
first reported. McConkey was also
treasurer for several benevolent socie.
ties, among others the Masons, and it
is said the latter's funds are about
$4,000 short. Experts are now en-
gagged in overhauling the books of the
county, and the amount Of the defal-
cation will be definitely settled in a
few days. The McConkey bondsmen
are anx Gus to make the case murder
but from present appearances they
! vii! nos be ale to make it stick.

Tilden is accused is based upon verify, it
demonstrates as much as anything mis- en-
inent fitness for the place to which he
aspires. man endowed with such abili-
ties, with power to control men, to mclify
their hatreds, negative the effects of their
passions, change enemies into friends and
warm supporters, must be qualified to adj
minister the affairs of government with
rare ability and success. Mr.. Tilden has
demonstrated his capacity in this direc-
ton in an eminent degree, and
succeeded during his incumbency of
the gubernatorial Office of New York,
in saving the state millions of dollars
a year, smashed the corrupt rings that had
for years robbed the people of their sub
stance, inaugurated an era of reform
W hose good effects are yet visible in every
department of the state government.
We need such a man as Mr.. Tilden in
the executive department of the nation-a
N an who is fearless, independent of all
rings or corrupt combinations, and having
the courage of his convictions will cleanse
the rotten departments of the government
Of the barnacles and tax devourers who
have for so long fattened at tic public
crib. His election would be the signal for
a general house cleaning such as has not
been seen since The foundation of the gov
ern ment, and would result in a great and
permanent public benefit

Grand Forks Meas.

The past week has been unusually Gniets
tho death-llke monotony being relieved
only by one event, which was as totally
unworthy of the city as it was atrocious.
Perhaps at no season of the year is bus
mess so dull, or the wheel of social pleas
ure so completely at a standstill as at
present. This is the farmers season, and
he Is the happy man in Grand Forks to-
day.
The work on the syndicate block, which
is to be the finest building in north Dakota,
is being rapidly pushed to completion, and
all day long above the quiet of the town
can be heard the hammer of the carpenter,
and the shrill voice of the mason calling
for mortar.
The game law for the protection of
prairie chickens expired on the fifteenth
inst, and by the break of the following
day full hundred men armed with guns
and dogs were out along the ripelng wheat
fields waging savage war upon the
featEered tribe.
There have been numerous sales of
property during the past week, many
strangers prospecting through the country
| have been convinced of the superiorities
of the Red river valley. The wide ex-
| panse of fertile land covered by No. hard
is quite enough to impress any thoughtful
man, and naturally enough Grand Forks
| has been selected as the future abode of
number of families.
The project of holding an agricultural
fair here in September is being considered
and efforts to that end are being made.
| Mr.. J. S. Eshelman and Capt. Alex.
Griggs returned to-day from st. Paul,
where they had been spending several days
obtaining information regarding the list
of prizes usually offered, and many other
| points essential to the successful fulfil
ment of such undertaking.
The time for picnios has passed and
gone. The dancing season is in the near
rospective, and just at this time driving
holds full sway in the social world. Each
evening finds the race course we'll patron

manufacturing poizo might be of irssoresS,
This place, which is destined to &c the
Minneapolis of northern Minnesota and
Dakota, has just begun 30 come into no-
tice. One year ago, it was almost an
heard of. To-day it is growing town
of some six or eight hundred people, capt
talists from every part of the country are
coming in seeking investments, new build
ings are going up in every direction, g.
ten thousand dollar hotel has just been
completed and opened, and several great
mill enterprises are projected.
The town of Red Lake Falls is at the
junction of the Clearwater and Red Lake
rivers. For two miles above the town
both rivers plunge down in constant
succession of cascades and rapids, and for
a mile below the junction of the two the
main river goes tumbling down in the
same fashion. Engineers estimate that
the aggregate water power thus furnished
is fully as great as that of st. Anthony's
Falls at Minneapolis. 1t is really beyond
computation, few feet of cutting any
where affording thousand horse power.
There is enough to run all the saw mills and
-four mills necessary to supply the whole
northwest with.lumber and breaGstaffs.
The Clearwater and Red Lake rivers
drain the whole vast Red Lake reservation
of 100000 acres, containing over 1900
900 acres of the finest pine timber left
in the United States. Il is estimated that
the pine on this reservation is worth from
$150,000,000 to $500, 100000, and every
stick of it must come down these two
| rivers, and pass through the hands Of tho
fortunate citizens of the falls.
The country for hUpGredS of miles.
north, south and west OF the town, is rich
and beautiful, embracing as fine grain
| growing land as ever the sun shone on. It
will furnish wheat for q score of great
mills like the Piilsbury and Washburn A'5.
The old town was situated in low,
rough fat, between the two rivers, but
since the railroad surveys have shown that
| it will be impossible for the roads TO get
into that locality a new and Furnishing
town has sprang up south of the Clear
water, and extending down below
| the junction of the rivers.
Two railroads are being pushed
| into the place, one from Brainerd and the
other from Duluth. Both companies have
bought land adjoining the new town, and
| their survey for a crossing and bridge is
just below the main falls of the united
| river, about mile below the junction of
the Red lake and Clearwater The elegant
new hotel is, III this new town. and in the
| hands of pushing men, there will soon be
a big and prosperous city on the south side
of the Clearwater and along the main
falls. Set 1t down that new Minneapolis
is springing up in this great region, and
its name is Red Lake Falls. Rev. Father
Champagne, j. B. Dow, A. G. Sheldon, Col.
P. Donan, and other we'll known gentlemen,
control the town site and the water power,
and are going to boom it for all it is worth.
Come up and see it. Yours, very truly, =

immense amount of trade to Chicago, and
st. Paul wishes to intercept it. But the
reasoning of the article has no force. The
fact that st. Paul is three days nearer to
Montana is nothing to a Montana mer
chant. What he wants is cheap goods. 1t
is true that the st. Paul house may have a
slight advantage in respect of freights
between here and st. Paul over the Chica-
go house, but that bears no comparison
with the advantage the Chicago house has
through the large amount of bust
ness done here. There is not more
than 100000 worth of dry goods
sold in st. Paul in year, while either
our house or Marshall Fields sells three
times as much. The result is that you can
buy staple dry goods as cheap in st. Paul
as you can here, but regular goods and no.
tions are cheaper here. If it were not so
We would not be selling large amounts of
dry goods to the st. Paul merchants them
selves, as We are. The Montana merchants
cannot find the assortment they want in
st. Paul"
Mr.. A. A. Sprague, of the firm of
Sprague, Warner & Co., said: "The fact
that the Chicago grocery houses sell large
amounts of groceries in st. Paul Is proof
of itself that Chicago is the cheaper
market. It's true the st. Paul grocers get
special rates from the railroad companies
on freight between here and st. Paul, but
the Montana dealer can get
special rates also without any
trouble. Then the Chicago grocer
buys so much more largely than the st.
Paul grocer in the first markets that he
buys cheaper, and this is especially true of
staples. Moreover, there is sort of agree
ment at the east that the goods shall be
sold cheaper to the Chicago merchants
than to any others. 1t is called at the
east ''the dumping ground" There is
here also an immense amount of consign-
ed goods and surplus goods which drag
down prices, and which are never found in
small place like st. Paul. So that I can
see no force in the article at all. / am
sure no Chicago grocer ever thought of st
Paul as a rival applicant for the western
trade"
Mr.. L. B. Bane, of the firm of Clement
Bane & Co., said: ''What the article says
| about ready-made clothing in particular
has DO weight. Labor is just as CHEAP
and just as good in Chicago as 1t is in st
Paul. Even if what it says about freight
rates between here and st. Paul were trus
which 1 do not admit, that advantage ii
more than counterbalanced by the vol
ume of business done here. do not sup
pose there is a house in St. Paul that man
| ufactures more than 100000 worth o.
clothing year, while we manufacture 81,
| 100000 year, and we are only one of the
| thirty houses in Chicago that are engaged
| in that business. You can readily see
therefore, what an advantage we have il
all the expenses of manufacturing. If i
were not so we could not sell so man.
| goods to st Paul itself but our house is jus
shipping $4,000 worth to day to one mar
| in st. Paul.

THE OLD TICKET.

The opposition to the denomination of
Mr.. Tilden for the presidency in 1884
seems to have subsidized as far as New York
is concerned. At Saratoga, which is at
this season the center Of political activity,
there is great deal OF gossip about "the
old ticket" and it is universally conceded
that if Mr.. Tilden wants the nomination
he can have it unopposed, and furthermore
that there is no power on earth that can
prevent his election if nominated. A strong
and apparently successful effort is being
made to secure harmony between the sew
eral factions of the party, and even Mr..
Kelly and the Tammany hall sachems are
actively at work in the effort to bring
about the desired result.
The Republican journals, of course, take
note of all this, and attribute the apparent
activity of the Democracy of the Empire
state to the Vaccinations of Mr..
Tilden and his aides. His
hand is seen, they assert, only
inferentially, but the feeling manifested is
nevertheless the result of his schemes to
further his own presidential aspirations
They accuse him of having offered accept
able terms to Tammnay hall-of bartering
promises for support, and silencing oppo
sition by threats. This is to very great
extent mere superstition, and is not based
on more than grain or two of fact. Buf
if it was all true-if all the astuteness IL
political management with which Mr.
