The Great Judith Country.

Messrs Brooks and Hilger, who have
a large number of cattle and sheep in
the vicinity of Maiden, were recently
interviewed by a representative of the
Helena Independent, and speak in the
following glowing terms of this wonder
full region:
Two years ago that region was
almost a wilderness. Now almost every
valuable location has been taken up.
1t is not sufficiently watered for general
farming and the few springs and hay
patches scattered over that belt of coun-
try are being rapidly utilized by sheed
men. la fact, it seems that there, as
elsewhere in Montana, sheep are fast
crowding out the large bands of cattle.
Within the past two years thirty thou
sand sheep have been brought into that
section. There are also about $4,000
head of cattle there, but already cattle
men are looking to other sections to
maintain their large herds. The trou-
BILE is that the water supply is limited
and sheep men take up all the valuable
! locations where water and hay can be
obtained. Cattle ranging over u vast
eXpanse of country must have supplies
of water, but as these are being gener-
ally appropriated and fenced up by
sheep men, cattle are being cut off
from the necessary supply. 1t is the
opinion Of both Mr.. Brooks and Hilger
that in a very short time cattle owners
will be forced to remove their herds to
other sections, and they regard it rs only
matter of time when sheep will mo-
Enopolize the ranges to the exclusion of
all large bands Of cattle. All sheep
men are now making permanent loca-
tions. They erect shed, fencing, and
other improvement, cut hay, and thus
provide both food and shelter for their
tlocks. A country settled up by sheep
men, who erect fences and appropriate
the water, hay, ETC., etc, Is about as
bad for cattle owners as If settled by
ranchmen. The large and scattered
bands of cattle flourish best in those
sections where the country is open to
all. Only in this way can they obtain
water Gradually the appropriation
of the choice locations by sheep men
will make cattle raising on the pres
ent system so precarious, and entail
such heavy losses that soon the large
herds of cattle will be broken up as a
measure of safety. Messrs. Brooks
and Hilger say that stock men are
looking anxiously for the government
opening to settlement the splendid In
dian reservation on the north, and that
as soon as it is opened there will be n
general rush to take possession Of the
fine grazing lands on the other side Of
the Missouri.

Suffering Of Two Young Ladies Struggling for
Existence at the Capital.

Suffering Of Two Young Ladies Struggling for
Existence at the Capital.
The following is Washington special
to an Eastern paper. 1t seems improb-
able that such a story of wanton neglect
and destitution could come from any
city, save Washington, where the great
American dudes and "dudines' congre-
gate every winter in their snobbish
eclat. Only short time since the
papers teemed with items rs follows
'The First Lady of the Land" 1.-The
Question Finally Settled" "Her Grand
Entry as the Leader of Society" When
one connects these two incidents to-
gether, the contrast is so great that one
is forced to conclude that there is
something rotten" in Washington
society, and the time is rapidly ap-
preaching when nothing but wealth
will receive recognition at the seat of
national government. As writer once
said, it will be the "reign of the ignorant
rich" Here is how the sisters of a
gallant soldier, who lost his life on
Montana soil, are treated in Wash
ington:
The amount of suffering among the
poor of Washington is unprecedented
A large meeting of citizens was held at
Masonic hall, tonight, and 81 800 raised,
and committees appointed to raise
more funds. Many sad cases are re-
ported. Two young ladies, sisters of
Lieut.. Charles B. Hayes, who was
killed with Custer at the Big Horn
massacre, we're found in the loft of a
stable, on East Capital street, in utter
destitution. They are aged twenty-four
and twenty-five, and have been earn
ing q living as emhroiderers ON silk, at
which they both are accomplished.
Some weeks ago the younger sister was
taken down with typhoid fever, and
they were elected from the room they
occupied, finding temporary refuge in
stable loft. When found they were
both clad in thin calico dresses, al
had neither fire nor food. A number
of newspaper men are raising q fund
for than tonight.

From a communication to the St
Paul Pioneer Press, appearing in the
issue of 18th inst, written by a party
in Helena, regarding the constitutional
convention and the claims Montana
has for admission to statehood we
publish the following extract:
That Montana is ready to receive the
hOnOrs of Statehood there can be no
doubt The territory is entirely out of
debt, and now has a population of
100000 growth of over 10000 during
the last four years, and every prospect
indicates flood of immigration during
the next few years. There is no other
State or Territory which contains such
vast and diversified interests. The
territory contains 93,000,000 acres of
land, of which 20,000000 can be cult
waited, "a, 900, 600 are grazing lands, H.
100000 timber, 5,000,00 acres contain
gold, silver, copper, iron and lead, and
22,OOO,OOO are mountains and timber.
The annual products of Montana, when
fully developed, ought to yield Gold
and silver, $25,000,0OO; grazing lands,
So, 100000; agricultural lands, $25, ,0OO,-
600; timber. coal, iron, lead, zinc, salt,
fish and furs, So, 100000; horses, sheep
and wool, $15,00O,0OO The yield Of
gold and silver for 1888 was about $15,-
100000, and since 1868 Montana has
produced over 100000, 900 in precious
metals. Of the resources of Montana,
her mines would rank first; next would
come the live stock interests, and then
agriculture, none of which have more
than begun to be developed.

A Big Strike In the Bears Paw.

A letter received last evening by one
of our citizens from Jim Moran, of Fort
Assinaboine, master of transportation
for Broadwater, McCulloh & Co.,
brings the important news that big
gold fnd-supposed to be gold quartz
has been made In the Bears Paw, at
the head of Eagle creek, by Ben Yost,
familiarly known as ''Tange-foot Benz
Just what he has got is not known, or
at least not stated in the letter, but
Moran expresses the belief that Ben
has, without doubt, "struck some
thing rich" A discharged soldier who
arrived from the post yesterday con
firms the foregoing and says there is a
good deal of talk at the post about
Ben,s big strike. The latter is expect
ed in Benton in a few days, when
something more definite on the sub
