Ed. D. Hogan, the aeronaut, made

Ed. D. Hogan, the aeronaut, made
his 156th ascension from Jackson the
other day, and in rather unique style.
Having recently completed II handsome
oil silk balloon with a capacity for 75,-
600 feet of gas, he hit upon the idea OF
attaching lumber wagon in place OF
the basket, and by the consent of L. A.
Webster, general manager of the Aus
tin-Tomlinson manufacturing company,
secured Jackson wagon. The end
boards, seats and tongue were removed
TO tighten the vehicle, and at 10 O'Clock
A. NJ. She went sailing through the air.
After going straight up for about one
mile the balloon with its "cargo" drift
ed southerly and was soon out OF sight.
AT O'Clock she was seen over Fayette,
Ohio, moving very rapidly. 1t was the
professors intention to make a voyage
of about three days; but late in the
afternoon of the same day he descend
ed in safety near Clayton, Lenawee
county.

There was a fash, wild halloo from Ro-

She Kept IL Out Of the Paper.

There is an old lady by the name of
Gushing residing in that portion of the
city bounded by Walnut, Hunter and
Wellington streets who is a living con-
tradiction to the assertion that wo-
man cannot hold her tongue.
The old lady in question is widow,
and supports herself and family by the
sale of the milk from four cows. She
is not ambitious TO shine in the social
world. Her chief Objects in life are to
live contentedly and keep her name
out of the papers, and this she has gen.
orally managed to do.
A few weeks ago, while attending TO
her duties in the stable, shewas attacked
| by one of her cattle, an angry bull,
knocked down and trampled upon.
Two of her ribs were broken, and she
| was severely bruised withal. Para
mount TO every other consideration,
however, at this time came the thought
| that if the accident became known the
sanctity of her home would be invaded
by newspaper providers, and her pri-
vate affairs paraded before the world.
She therefore resolved to keep the Sc
cret locked in her own breast. and not
even to her own daughter did she tell
the particulars OF the accident. To the
doctor who attended her she merely
stated briefly that she had slipped and
fallen.
None but those of her own sex can
appreciate the heroism of the old lady.
Friends visited her and inquired for
particulars of how it happened; not q
word. Her own children were solicit.
GUS, but their questions elected not a
word.
There is nothing hidden which shall
not be revealed" but of the manner In
which this story came to be known. de-

First Train Through the Tunnel.

The first train to pass through the
Bozeman tunnel made the trip on Sat
urday last about 4 o'clock in the after
noon. The tunnel is 3,61O feet long,
II feet wide, and 81 feet high in the
centre. The mountain rises 236 feet
above the roof Of the tunnel, and the
floor is elevated in the highest point
1856 feet above sea level, being II feet
higher than any other point on the line
Of the Northern Pacific. The grade
rises from the east end tWo-thirds Of the
way through the tunnel. The passage
through the tunnel is two miles shorter
than the overhead line, and reduces the
grade IS feet per mile, or. to 116 feet per
mile, heaviest grade. Work was begun
upon the approaches in the autumn of
1881, and upon the tunnel proper in the
spring Of 1882. The two headings met
on December 22nd, 1883, and the rock
was all removed by December 31st.
The first passenger train, under Con-
ductor Elliott, made the through trip

History Of the Chinook.

The following graphic explanation of
the old question, "Where does the wind
come from?" will be particularly inter
esting just now when we are experience
ing the delightful visitation of the balny
chinook. The Fargo Republican says:
Glowing up from the Philippine is
lands and hugging the east coast OF Asia
is a great, broad stream OF water which
is known as the Japan current. This
stream is nothing more nor less than a
river in the ocean. A small portion Of
it leaves the main stream. and running
through Behring strait enters the Arctic
ocean. The greater body, however,
flows on eastward, and striking the Pa
cific coast off Puget sound turns south
ward, and running down the coast of
Oregon and California to the twentieth
parallel of north latitude, it turns to the
westward, bearing to the right until it
again strikes the Philippine islands,
from whence it continues its never
ceasing, neyer-ending rounds, bearing
upon its broad, warm bosom the fra
GRANGE of the tropics, and imparting to
the climate Of the Pacific slope a most
delightful warmth and healthfulness.
"This great warm current brings with
it the soft zephyrs of the tropics, which,
gathering force as they approach our
shores, become the warm trade wind Of
the north Pacific and the chinook of
Oregon, Washington territory and Mon
tana, a warm, dry wind which melts
and laps up snow like a Whirlwind of
hot air. Under the most favorable cir
cumstances this wind generally loses its
warmth and spends its force by the time
it reaches the eastern boundary Of the
territory. During a portion Of the year
it bears to eur western neighbors clouds
laden with the vapors of the ocean,
which are deposited upon them with an
unsparing hand. But by the time those
clouds reach us they have been tapped
and exhausted by the mountain ranges
to the westward, and the chinook being
relieved of their weight and accompa-
MED only by the light, feecy or cirrus
clouds, enters upon its mission Of bear
ing frost and snow from the face of our
favored land. When all the conditions
are favorable the chinook is a frequent
visitor to Montana. but the cold wave
from the north and the upon the
mountain ranges to the westward lower
its temperature and it comes to us SIM
ply as a southWesterly wind, dry, brac-
| ing and coOl.D

WHITE HORSE RANCH, PLEASANT VALE,

WHITE HORSE RANCH, PLEASANT VALE,l
MI. LONE TREE, MT, January 70.
Editors of the River Press:
AT a meeting held at MI. McSarty's,
the ranchmen of this valley OF the loot
hills have decided to call this location
Pleasant Vale, on account Of a line
view of the Highwood and Belt noun
tains, and its "A !" adaptablllty for
raising grain and vegetables.
A better range for stock cannot pc
found. Its numerous springs on every
location make it a most desirable place
to live. and it's natural surrounding, adj
vantages will cause it ere long to be one
of the best markets in Montana.
In glancing over the RIVER PRESS
occasionally, and seeing projects and
probable and sure prosperity for Fort
Benton, and having lived in and pro-
spected around here, | naturally feel
inclined to speak some straight Ideas.
Knowing from experience and long re-
sidence in the northwest that its natural
situation near the head waters OF the
greatest water courses in the world, It's
large extent Of tributary country, It's
cattle, wool, and agricultural interests
of no mean extent, it's coal ana other
mineral prospects adjacent, and Its sure
railroad facilities, will enable her to out
strip all other towns in the territory.
AS Boston is considered the hub OF the
east, SO will Fort Benton be the hub OF
the northwest.
AS the farmers have decided to have
a flour mill in your vicinity, you may
conclude shortly to have q woollen mill,
three railway depots, machine shops,
the Missouri bridge q Mr.. Murphy's
ranch, and last but not least, the city OF
Fort Benton lighted by gas.
[ prospected some years ago close to
Fort Benton for coal, which good indi-
cations showed to be near at hand, and
declare Of my knowledge there
are two seams of coal, or n iron and
n coal, crossing the river above Fort
Benton, and running north, and IL Is
probably the same vein at Whoop Up.
