SHEEP SHEARS.

The common saying in the west, Il
am not outhere for my health contains
a thousand times more truth than poet
~. It seems, in plain, unadulterated
English, that 999 out of every thousand
who come to Montana from the east
come with the avowed purpose Of max
ing a ''home stake,p as the miner terseiy
puts it. This sentimental racket about
young men coming west to strengthen
weak lungs, view the majesticmountains
and other fine scenery we all know is a
mere Pigment of the imagination con
ceived by some neWs1nonger when he
had run short of other topics. What
we are after is money, and any person
who can put us on to making some, in a
square, legitimate business is a public
benefactor and his appearance will be
hailed with delight. 1t may be set
down as a general rule that men come
west, not because they have money to
invest, but because they feel that they
have got a whole lot of money to get.
What is needed then is advise to men of
small means, and the pilgrim who steps
from the gang plank of a steamboat
with only four bits in his pocket but
with a million dollars worth of muscle,
pluck and endurance.
Every new country has special adap-
tations to particular lines of business,
and the man who goes at them with a
vim Is bound to succeed, and in time, be
"Well ixed.u Pre-eminent among these
lucky ventures stands the wool busi-
ness, in our estimation.
In the stock country tributary to Fort
Benton We can cite uumersus instances
Of energetic young men who have risen
from common sheep herders three
years age to wner Of fine sheep ranch
es and own from two to five thousand
sheep. The different steps in their
worldly prosperity ara easily told. AS
sheep herders they learned the business,
and saved UP q few hundred dollars
with which to improve y ranch-that
can be had for the taking in this part of
Montana. Some sheep man then gave
them o band on shares-the person who

takes care of the flock to have half the
increase and halt of the wool for his
labor and expenses. AS the share of the
wool crop will pay all expenses of shear
ing and grub it leaves half of the natural
increase a. clear gain. AS the eve ban
| will increase from Is to 100 per cent. in
ordinary seasons it can easily be seen IN
three years the sheep herder would have
a nice band of his own. For an instance
of this we will cite the case of the
Hay brothers, Of upper Arrow creek.
Three years ago last summer they were
nerding sheep for Henry Mcdonald;
now they have wei 5000 sheep of
their own with good ranches, buildings,
machinery, and stock Of all kinds. This
is only a fair sample OF what men OF In
dustry can do for themselves at the sheep
business in this country, with muscle
and good management as their only
available assets to start with. MI. Lacy,
OF the we'll knewn firm of Peck & Lacy,
on Belt creek, informed us last summer
that no fewer than five young men were
now the prosperous owners OF bands OF
sheep who commenced the business as
herders for that firm.
There are now, according to the best
judges, about three quarters of a million
of sheep in the territory, and the bust
ness may be said to be yet but in its
infancy, as it is only in the last four
years that any attention has been given
to it. Paris Gibson, the pioneer Gloom
err of the wool industry in northern
Montana, estimates that there will be
5000, 900 sheep in the territory before
1890. AS the feeces in the last five
years have averaged $3.50 each, that
would put the value of Montana's wool
crop at SIS, 300, 900 a year, in the near
future. Fort BENTON has proved to be
the best wool market in the territory,
the average price paid for wool here in.
the last five years being 259 cents. The
river steamboats, take down freight at
low rates, SO as to secure a load both
ways. This is an advantage as a wool
market which our city will always pos
sess over the railroad towns. The open
ing Of the Blackfeet country another
summer to settlement will give wool
growing an immense impetus in this
section of country, as the country north
of the river is known to be especially
adapted to the business. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that in one season it
would double the number Of sheep in
the country tributary to Fort Benton
Large 1ocks of sheep are being driven
III every year from California, Oregon
and Washington territory, as the SUI
periority of cur ranges and climate for
the business has been demonstrated by
experience. The owners of these new
herds would naturally seek a fresh pas
ture, and in consequence the Indian
reservation would get d large proportion
of the pilgrim sheep.

The government is making a sensible
move toward establishing Indian train
ing schools in the west. They should
not forget Montana, as they seem to
have done SO far in their appointment Of
school facilities. The following from the
Pioneer Press tells what they are to do
farther east: Zone Of the first industrial
schools for Indians that the government
proposes to build will be at Devils lake.
Theplans are for a three-story, T-shaped
building, ia feet in n length and 12o
in the other, with a width On each part
of IS feet. This makes i large building,
and if it is devoted to industrial teaching
as effectuaily as the Hampton and Car
Isle schools it will be q strong argument
in favor of the educational remedy for
the Indian question. Schools of this
kind right among the tribes can do much
more for them than those at q distance

INVASION OF THE RESERVATION.

The recent prompt action of the mill
tary authorities at Fort Assinaboine in
removing squatters and %prospectors from
the Indian reservation will set q good
many prospective stampeders guessing.
According to the United States laws
these ranch and mine hunters are all
trespassers and can be tried in the courts
and fined for this infringement on the
Indians country. "Oklahoma' Payne
has given the government much trouble
lately by his repeated invasions Of the
Indian territory. Teller, in his last re-
port, speaks ofthis continued encroach-
ment and advises that imprisonment be
added to the fine, with which the invad-
ers are now punished. This is not the
only part Of the west that is complaining

of the hardship of rich but useless tracts
of country. The settlements along the
Yellowstone want the land Of the Crows,
between the river and Wyoming. The
settlers in eastern Dakota are clanloring
for the opening ofsthe immense Sioux
reservation which cuts them Oft from
any direct communication with the
Black Hills. This clamor rom various
sections Of the western territories will
doubtless have its proper effect on CON
gress-or should AVE at least. As con-
gress is in session now it will not, in ali
probabilities, be more than q couple o.
months before we will all have a perfect
right to roam at will over the Land OF the
Blackteet; now, we are criminals, in
the eyes of the law for so doing. In view
Of all these facts it might be well for for
tune hunters and land grabbers to go q
little slow just at present. By so doing
they will save themselves much n
essary trouble and the military authori-
ties many a cold trip over the bleak
prairies. 1t is probable that the coming
two months will be cold and stormy
judging from the mildness of the past
two months. During the prevalence of
a Montana blizzard a seat by The side OF
a red-hot stove at home is more comfort
able and safer than scouting around
in an uninhabited section like the reser-
walton. When spring opens up a trip to
that beautiful country will be a pleasure,
when it will now be accompanied with
many pains and frost bites. Every one
understands that it is the duty Of the
military to keep settlers off of the In
dian country, and no doubt they will
use their authority in this case.
All this is upon the superstition that
congress will hear our cry and give re-
lief to thousands whoare wanting homes
in this new land. We have taken that
for granted without argument; but If
our worst fears are realized and the In
dams are still left next spring the nom
inal owners of what they have no more
use for than the dog had for the man
ger full of hay, in that old fable, then it
will be time for US to do some vigorous
''kicking". The general government
refused to listen, for a long time, to the
clamor of miners who wished to unearth
the hidden treasures of the Black Hills,
and even went so far as to escort several
large parties Of prospectors out of the
coveted region. All this was like trying
to stop a hurricane by blowing in the
face of the wind. While the soldiers
were marching ONE poor unlucky fellow
out over one trail q thousand were COM
ing in by another path. The military
authorities soon took in the situation
and gave up this unequal struggle for q
bad job. It was several years after the
undisputed possession Of the Black Hills
by the whites before the Indian title was
finally and legally extinguished.
Similar history of the Blackfeet country
will have to be written if congress does
not do us justice this session. Prospect
ors, stockmen and ranchers have had
their hearts set on that country for a
long time and we mistake their temper
if they take no for an answer much

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

A COOP FENCE.-When we consider the
cost OF all the fences in the country, the
time and la Dor it takes to make them and
Keep them in repair, the question Of how
the most substantial ones eau be made at
least cost is worth noting. We wish to
describe one which We know to be ga
good thing" though, possibly, others may
claim 10 have better. Posts should be set
at the usual distances, and light rails and
some common bale ware made ready. Two
persons can work to better advantage than
one in putting up the fence; drive sta
pie, into which one end Of tho wire is fas-
tened into posts just where the first rail
is to be put; lay in the end Of the rail and
carry the wire over it and drive another
staple over the wire just above this rail f,
first drawing the wire tight; proceed in
the same manner with the rail next above,
and so on, until as many are put up as
required; the upper end of the wire may
bc fastened about the post or another sta
pie driven into which the wire may be
made fast. The advantages of this style
of fence are, that il is not expensive; the
ends of the rails cannot split out rs when
spikes are driven into them; it takes but
little room, dOiag away with the hedge
rows.
