It is curious fact that James Fergus,
of Meagher county. president of the 60
ciety of Montana Pioneers, and one Of
the most highly respected men in Mon
tana. gave his name to the town of Fer
gus Falls, Minnesota. He owned the
townsite and fine water power there in
the fifties, but failed in business and
came to Montana in 1862. Fergus Falls
is now next to Duluth, the largest and
most promising town in Northern Mime
sofa. Its inhabitants claim for it popu-
lation of 10000, and its magnificent
water power, fine agricultural surround
ings and railroad importance will yet
make it one of the largest cities in the
State-Enterprise.

The Little Rockies.

Tom McDevitt and Mike Lynch have
returned from the mines and will take
new outfit and return in a day or two.
Tom is very enthusiastic. He had de-
termined never to go on another stsm-
pedc (haying just returned from the
C.err IL Alcnes). but Little Rockies were
so convenient he could not resist the
temptation. He says he believes there
has been more money taken out since
the discovery Of the mines than was ever
taken out Of the Cnur d'iAlenes.
Main & Smith are taking ont from $40
to SO day. Tom is of the opinion that
Develin will make a harvest of Sc! 600
before winter. Many Of the Benton
stampeders have located claims on Peo-
pies creek, among them them Edmund
'Ingersoll; Dave Mcdaniel, John Evans,
and himself. The camp, in This opinion
promises to be the hest discovered in
many years. Good prospects ere found
almost everywhese, and the feeling
among all the miners is one of content.
Everyone is satisfied with the work they
have done, and are hopeful of still bet.
ter things.
Mike Lynch chimes in with all the
others in pronouncine the mines good
and the prospects ofa rich ard extensive
district flattering. He says that it Is be-
lieved that in due time the deepest dig
gings will prove the richest and the best.
The miners meeting In the Little
Rocky creek district, on the 2lst. I'M
doubtedly resulted in opening the dis
trict for work. Parties owning claims
will be given reasonable length of time
to get on their ground, failing to do
which i will be jumped.
In regard to taking goods into the Lit
tie Rockies for sale we would soy that
any person doing so will be arrested and
brought before a United States Com
missioner and his goods confiscated for
violation of the intercourse laws. These
laws will be enforced and the parties
guilty of its violation punished. People
should bear this in mind and until the
reservation is thrown open avoid any
thing of the kind, as it will only compli-
cate matters.
A gentleman who arrived from the
lover country to-day, who has visited
the Rockies and whose judgment is
worth considerable, says the mines are
good. Gold is being panned out in con-
siderable quantities high as $4.6O to
the pan he has known to be taken out.
In Little Rocky gulch from two to four
men are taking out hunred dollars per
day. Main & Smith are doing equally as
well Nolan is reported to be taken out

The smuggling Of Chinese ofboth sexes
across from British Columbia to Ameri-
can soil continues, notwithstanding the
vigilance of the custom officials. A few
day ago forty Cinnamon arrived at ult-
salady from British Columbia. There is
an organization running Cinnamon across
the line regularly near Wn4tcom and
Semiahmoo. The captain Of one of the
steamers says he has been secretly offer
ed by Cinnamon $50 each for women and
$50 each for men for bringing them over
surreptitinusly to the American side. A
few days ago thirty more, principally
women, were struggled over to Port
Gamble. High prices are offered for
women as they are imported for I'M
moral posposes. Very few have been
captured by the authorities. They have
managed to elude the officers and escape
into the country. It seems that this con-
slant violation of the restriction law can
not be prevented.

The c., B. H. & M. Railroad.

The Cheyenne Sun gives the following
programme: One hundred miles of the
Cheyenne, Black Hills & Montana rail-
road will be built within a year. The
Wyoming & Yellowstone Park railroad.
or Wyoming Central Company, is part
ofthe Cheyenne, Black Hills & Montana
railroad company, and the two roads are
one in purpose. The Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy, or Burlington & Missouri
railroad is a joint partner in the enter
prise. and will strike for Cheyenne as
the dirt begins to fly on the Cheyenne,
Black Hills & Montana. The name I'M
der which the Burlington & Missouri,
will appear in this enterprise is under
stood to be the Wyoming Southern.
That the last named railroad is already
among the corporate bodies of the Terri
tory is well-known. There are four sur
veying parties in the field for the yell
lowstone Park, etc, railroads. One is on
Chugwater, with the expectation of
reaching Laramie river by October LIST.
Another is in the vicinity of the southern
part of johnson county, surveying both
ways. The other two have been at
work in the park, almost entirely, and
running lines enthusiastically from that
national resort.

conscience and a nobler purpose than
that which actuates the merely selfish
and appropriative man.
Ifwomen should be called to public
work of this kind, would they justify
this trust? Would they fulfill these high
expectations? But whether they are or
are not, there is noble, indeed . nob!er,
because less personal, work for them to
perform, which is dropping little by lit
tie into their hands, and requires the
possession and exercise Of fully as high
and as well-trained faculties. This is the
educational, philanthropic, and disciplin-
airy work; and the successful performance
of unpaid and poorly paid labor in these
fields is the strongest argument in the
minds of manv in favor Of giving them
positions and work that pay, and pay

:As Ye Would
By NAY LESTER.

Instead Of adding one harsh word
To what the world may say
When one we love in days gone by
From right has turned away,
Might we not better ask if We,
Tempted and tried the same,
Would sln and err the same as he,
And tsrnish soul and name?
And even though we may feel sure
That we can safely stand
Where he has fallen, even then
The ready helpful hand,
That proves that friendships holy vows
Have not been made in vain
Nay aid our wandering brother much
The lost road to regain.
Ifnot-we need not add one drop
Totide which bears him down,
Lest we perchance may some time know
What It's to stand alone
To meet averted, ecornful looks
From those we deemed most true:-
Christ babe the sinless Gust stone;
Are we not sinners. too?

Scarcity of Horses.

A man from Oregon informs the Chron-
icle that horses are very scarce in that
state. He says that where man could
pick up 500 in day or SO three years
ago, he cannot find that many in two
counties; in fact, they are the scarcest
thing there is. The reason is, there is
big local as well as a foreign demand.
The Chinese government is buying
good many; sixty went over on the steam
er from Portland last week. Some are
going to the Sandwich Islands and Japan.
The prices promise to be very high for
good work horses, as there are not many
raising horses. He says if man has
good SIX or seyen-year-olds, well broken,
he can take them to San Francisco and
get 5000 or $500 span for them.

The National Park hotel will close
October LIST. After that time only one
train on the branch will run but once
or twice week. Large numbers have
visited the park during the season, but
the hotel has been only partially sue
cessiul. Owing to the long transports
ton the cost of food has been great and
everything else correspondingly high.
the prospects for another year are,
however, fattering, and it is thought
that the hotel will become a prosper
GUS institution. Another season will
doubtless witness double the number OF
visitors to the park.

VIRGINIA TRAGEDY.-Three miles below
Hicksford, station on the Petersburg and
Weldon Railroad, in Greenville county, is a
little village known as Gainesville, near
which place there was committed Tuesday
night brutal murder. While passing
through the woods near the village that
day, Littleton Stewart discovered concealed
in cluster of underground a quantity OF
merchandise, supposed to have been stolen
from one of the neighboring stores. Stew
art. in company with party of other men,
laid in ambush that night, expecting that
the thief would come after the stolen booty,
and then they would catch him. In short
time James Moore was seen approaching.
AS soon as he was confronted By those on
the watch he inquired for Littleton Stewart,
who was concealed. When the latter heard
his name called he came from his hiding
place, and no sooner did he appear than he
was shot through the heart with load OF
birdshot from gun in the hands of Moore.
The killing of Stewart so frightened the
others who witnessed the murder that they
ran off, for fear that Moore would continue
bis bloody work. Moore ran through the
woods and made his escape, and, at last
accounts, was still at large.
