MANUFACTURES.

Among the many industries which we
think would prove profitable in Montana
We cannot think of any which would pay
better for the capital invested than pa
per mill. There are many locations in
Gallatin valley where good water power
can be had. Straw in any quantity could
be procured at trifling expense for the
manufacture of the coarser kinds of wrap
ping paper, an for finer grades, plenty of
rags, which are now burnt up to get them
out of the way, could be procured at only
the cost of gathering them up. Now is
the time to make the start in these mat
tiers when the locations can be easily Sc
cured. Gallatin valley. for every reason,
offers fine field for many manufactur-
ing industries. A foundry would be a
good paying investment; wooden mill
would be good; a tannery would no doubt
make money, the old objection of oak
and hemlock not existing is entirely OBJ
waited now, as extracts in concentrated
form are now manufactured, answering
all the requirements of the crude mater
ial Hides are plenty and are shipped to
the States and the product in tanned
leather shipped back. Would it not be
cheaper to ship tanned leather? Would
it not reduce the cost of the article con-
sumed here These things will of course
come in time, but now is good time to
start them,

The Montana Indian Show.

The Montana Indians, fifty or eighty
in number, who are on their way east by
way of st. Paul on starring tour, reach
ed Fargo on the 7th and spent three days
exhibiting their native practices and
sports to the delight of the small boy,
and his father was not entirely uninter-
ested. An evening entertainment was
given at the opera house and more ex-
citing ones on the fair ground, IN which
their battle and hunting methods were
exhibited. They have one buffalo, nu-
merous ponies, squaws, papooses and all
the incidents of Indian life. 1t would
not be surprising should Barnum gobble
them up. They would add to the attrac-
tons of the greatest show on earth"
The show is in charge of some enterpris-
ing Englishman.

To any one who travels over the roads
in this county, which ought to be good
and are not, the very natural query sug-
gests ITSELF What has become of the
vast sum of money collected by tax for
road purposes? That the money is spent
we do not doubt, but If it spent to the
best advantage? Is it put where it will
do the most good? We are aware that
the commissioners have no more vexed
questions before them than that of roads,
and that they are not able to personally
know where the money should be appli-
ed. They meet and apportion the road
money to the different districts, as rom
their best judgment, and information it
is needed, and in ameasure their respon-
sibility ends, until the road supervisors
make their report. At that time they
should see to it that they have discharg-
ed their duty fully and have accounted
for all money that they have been en-
trusted with, but as We intimate it would
be hard for any one in travelling through
the county to find out Where any impor-
portant improvement has been made.
There is no county in the territory
which from itstypographicaI nature, bet
ter roads can be constructed. One great
drawback to good roads in the valley are
the great number of irrigating bitches
which cross the roads in every direction,
many of them not bridged at all, and
many more very poorly bridged. This
is matter of more interests to farmers
than any one else, as they have to come
to town frequently to bring their pro-
duce and buy groceries ETC., and they
should see to it, that the bitches are bet
ter provided with crossings, and that
they are not overtaxed in carryiny capa-
city, which causes them to overflow. A
judicious expenditure of the money pro-
vided by taxation, ought and should give
us good roads.

The promised Anaconda Review reach
ed our Office this morning. 1t is a neat,
four page, eight column folio, and under
the leadership Of John S. Mills will soon
take rank as one of the best of Montana
newspapers. Anaconda is new, thriv-

cordial support. Deer Lodge is now mo-
nopolized by the Mills Bros, but we

We give place to communication from
Hon. Caldwell Edwards, because he says
that some comments made by the CHRoS-
Icr.E did him injustice. The CHRONICLE
but voiced what to it seemed to be the
opinion of that p,rtion of the republican
party of Gallatin county which, by an
unprecedented majority, carried the pri-
maries and controlled the county conven-
ton. That convention expressed in de-
clded terms its choice for Col. Eaton and
they felt agyreived that those who had
been defeated in Gallatin should be the
ones to defeat the will Of the people as
expressed in that convention. So far as
Mr.. Edwards is concerned we have more
than once expressed satisfaction at his
course in public affairs. Our comments
were the natural conclusions of one who
could look dispassionatelv at the warfare
going on, and so far as their application
is concerned subsequent events have sat-
isfied US that the conclusions drawn are
endorsed by the delegates from this
county to that convention. We are not
prepared to say that Mr.. Edwards was
lone of those who were beaten here" or
that he had Land IN exercising infu-
ence with delegates elsewhere. In fact,
We had no thought of putting such re-
sponibility On him.

= THE CRIMINAL CLASSES.

The forthcoming term of court for Gal
latin county will as usual have large
criminal docket, and as matter of course
will entail great burden of costs on the
tax payers of the county-that our juries
will meet out the regulation doses of
punishment prescribed by the statutes.
No one will doubt but will their labor in
any way mitigate this ever recurring
calender of crime. The majority of our
people we fear never take the pains or
trouble to think of this matter. To them
the criminal class exist like the Canada
thistle or yellow mustard, they are the
weeds of social life. The easiest and
most popular way of disposing of them
is the annual or semi-annual moving
down with the scythe of county court
trial their roots are never touched, and
next year and the year following, and
the year following that, will this same
harvest of depravity have to be gone
through with, and if, as is often the case,
laundering movement of judge or jury,
prevents one of these weeds of human
life to escape the knife of conviction,
then will it not be reasonable to expect
from this bad seed an increase rather
than decrease in the annual yield?
The way to cleanse soil of noisome
weeds is to completely uproot them, and
the only hope Of thinning the ranks Of
crime is to aim our blows at the very
root of the evil.
Experience teaches us that ignorance
is the hot bed of vice, and that intern
perance is the conservatory Of crime.
Emigration is TRANSFORMING process. If
of the 100000 foreigners who are annual
ly coming to our shores for new homes.
Three hundred thousand are from the
ignorant and debased population of the
efete monarchies of Europe imen and
women whose very surroundings must of
a necessity have tainted them with
crime) is it not reasonable to expect that
they will carry with them this contagion
and under the brl, ht skies and free air
of our new world life, the dwarfed plants
of god or evil will become the giant
oak OF purity and nobleEess, Or the dead
ly Upas of crime and depravity. A high
er education of our masses, careful
legislative control of the causes leading
to intemperance. and rigid scrutiny OF
the character credentials of the old
world, emigrants who are knocking at our
doors for an admission to share in the
comforts of free soil and free government
appear t, lis few of the methods which
might be employed with profit in rednc-
ing our enormous expenses of criminal
courts.
As county it becomes us to speedily
rid ourselves of the class from whence
comes these criminal recruits. There
are men here in Bozeman who are only
waiting opportunity to join the red hand
ed brigade. Let lis rid ourselves of this
class before the opportunity to inflict evil
arrives.

The number of young cattle shipped
into Montana so far has reached the
number of about $1,000 and indications
are that that number will be doubled.
Enormous as the cattle industry is and
the adaptability of Montana as q cattle
producing country, there is danger that
the ranges now accessible will be over
crowded. Room is the great secret of
success in that business. A given area
may be able to sustain herd proftably
but double the herd, and ruin will follow
all. The Northwestern Live Stock Jour
nal has some valuable hints on this
point It says: "Confine your herds to
a small area and on short feed. and ruin
will be the result Our cold winters de-
mand fat cattle to go into the season, and
whenever the time comes that fat is not
laid on to meet this demand, the bust
meas of cattle raising will prove an utter
failure, hence the one thing to guard
against is the overstocking or the crowd
ing of the range. 1t Is easy to crowd a
range and practical men are apt to push
in too many cattle, and those who have
no experience are sure to think that
those in possession of the renge are only
making bluffs to keep others out To
over-crowd a range is even worse than
over-prodrction in manufactures, that
only paralyzes the market for time. the
other destroys the product entirely.
Hence it would be well to 60 slow. and
not overstock the ranges. Time will o
course settle all things. and they will be
adapted to the conditions, but seriuos
loss may follow before the lesson is
taught.

Mr.. D. E. Fogarty, cashier of the First
National Bank, of Livingston, If We may
credit the report in the st. Paul Daily
Globe of the 9th inst, has been giving
the reporter of that paper some "taffy"
in regard to reported gold discoveries
near Livingston. That there may be
gold there and possibly enough to pay
small wages we do not doubt. but such
r ,se colored views of rich mines are cal
culated to do a great deal more harm
than good. 1t is well enough to wait
until developments have established the
value Of mining district before circul-
a!ing reports of their richness. We give
below the substance Of the interview:
"Mr. D. E. Fogarty, cashier of the First
National Bank o: Livingston, who reach
I'd St. Paul yesterday from that prosper
GUS town, was seen last night by Globe
reporter, and impaired the following in
formation: In reply to the inquiry Of
what is there regarding the recent dis
coveries of gold placer mines at Living
stcn, said the thing started last Thursday
night by Major Pease's ranchman awak-
ening the major at midnight, who lives
in Livingston, to inform him that there
were men at work stalking off placer
claims ON his ranch. This ranch is with
in two miles of town in the canyon of the
Yellowstone river. The news of the
discovery 81 read rapidly, and by noon
over fifty men were on the ground stalk
ing off claims. Mr. F. washed ut pan
full of dirt, from which he got twelve cts.
worth of gold. The major and miners
are holding down their claims with shot
guns. The placers SO far show from eight
to twenty-five cents to the pan. The
character of the gold is fine. The largest
piece so far found is worth about twenty
five cents. 1t is not in nuggets, but fine
dust. The following day prospectors re-
turned from Shields river, about five
miles from Livingston, and report very
rich diggings just fonnd there, the gold
being much ccarser, and the nuggets
found run much larger and are more
valuable than the first discovered on the
Yellowstone. There is no question but
the whole river beds are rich in gold.
The excitement is running SO high that
many merchants left their busine IS and
started for the mines, while teams are
seen on all sides labelle,. "Ho for the
placer Mines" the wagons doing a land
Office business in carrying people out"

The secret reason for the sturdy advo.
cation Of the ballot by the Lewis & clark
delegation has not been made known,
but there few who do know it. The
adoption Of it was in violation Of all pre-
cedent and custom, but it WAS needed be-
cause there were men in the convention
who would vote one way by ballot and
another way viva voce. Delegates to a
territorial convention always come from
their county conventions with either an
express or implied obligation to cast
their vote thus and 80, and the principal
reason why an individual ballot should
not be used, is that the county they re-
present has right to know how they

Office of Wells & Fargo's express and be-
gan solemnly doing up in a package a
battered looking silver dollar. Having

ure over to the clerk and said: Il found
this dollar On Market street last night,
