TIE CASE OF CLETE MORSE.

With not sirgls exception the peo-
pie Of Caldwell have Tor the past week
been greatly Interested in the reports
of the condition of Cleve Morse, the
young man who was il jurcd by the fall
ing derrick at the biiige two weeks
ago. When DR.. Lee took charge on
Thursday, Of last week, the condition
of the young mans leg was shocking.
Modification had begun, and all hope
of saving his life was about given up.
The doctor, however, worked his best
and had the satisfaction early this week
of seeing indications ofsymptoms favor
able TO the operation necessary. After
consultation with DR.. Il. G. Ebert, Of
Fort Boise, he decided upon amputa-
ion. Accordingly, on Thursday after
noon, DR.. L,e, assisted by DR.. Ebert,
took the limb off at the lower third of
the thigh just above the knee. Some
difficulty was experienced with the ar
terry, but the operation was finally sue
cessful.
Mcs. Morse, his mother, arrived from
Colorado that afternoon ard is giving
the young man all the attention that q
mother can.

Exit Major Young.

Our dispatches bring the agreeable
intelligence that Reuben A. Allen, of
Ohio, has been nominated agent of the
Blackfeet Indians, to succeed Major
Young. While we know nothing of
Mr.. Aliens qualifications or fitness for
the position, yet we know that a change
will be hailed with delight by the stock
men of northern Montana. Major
Young has outlived his usefulness as an
agent. He is too old a man for the
position and lacked the control and
ex ~ecutiye ability to be a success in that
important station. His unnecessary
conflicts with stockmen and other set
tiers in the vicinity of the reservation
helped to make matters disagreeable for
him and render him the object of so
much abuse. 1t is to be hoped that his
successor will see the wisdom of taking
a different course, and that his admins
tration of the affairs of the agency will
be as much commended as Major
Young's has been disapproved.

FIGURING Mill for Highwood.


We are informed that part Of John
Harris business east this winter is to
see about establishing a Touring mill on
HighWood. Water power can be easily
obtained from the creek, SO that a mill
could be run at a comparatively small
expense, right in a good grain district,
| where enough wheat could be raised to
run a small mill. Mr.. Harris, while
| east, will try and interest some practical
mill man to take hold of the project.
TIE originator Of the enterprise shows
his faith in it's financial success by being
| willing to invest $4,000 in the scheme.
Our Highwood neighbors are to be con-
graduated if this proves a success,
for instead of being obliged to raise oats,
for which there seems now to be no
market, they can put in wheat next
spring. With a good Touring mill right
at their doors it will be 10 tronble to get
a good price for this grain they raise
another season. Flour, also, will be
much cheaper than that shipped from
Minnesota. A mill on Highwood would
be in the center of as good a grain grow
ing district as is to be found in this
country, and no doubt would make
plenty of money for the owners.

so rapidly as in Montana during the past
year; no other community of a like
number can boast Of such an increase
on assessment rolls. We can see moth
ing which is liable to check this pros
perity for years to come. The pasture
and agricultural lands of the territory
are not yet nearly all utilized; though
her mining fields are as yet only super
ficially exposed, many of them are pro-
ducing tremendously, and n camp
Butte-is the greatest mining camp on

Belt Crock Bridge to be Removed.

The commissioners have had under
consideration for some time the project
of removing the Belt creek bridge to a
point up the creek about two miles.
There are two reasons assigned for this
action: One is, that a saving of several
miles in distance will be effected; and
the other, that the bridge as it now
stands is in imminent danger of being
washed away when old Belt gets on his
annual boom. At the new location Sc
lected a single span will suffice, and all
danger from the freshets is avoided.
The commissioners will go out in a few
days to look over the field and consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of making the change.
The prospect is that it will be made.

Montana.

Montana's progress during the past
year has not been by a steady march
it has gone forward by bounds. Within
the year commerce has completed a main
thoroughfare across her entire area, and
has built new forts within her borders.
Within the year the model evangel-
the locomotive-has come and has so
driven distance away that now her cap
ital is only three days removed from the
centers of civilization in the east, but
two from where the gates of the west
swing back to admit the tired ships that
bring the spices Of the Orient. The
completion of this highway has electIi-
fed the territory and quickened every
artery Of business. Never has there
been such an advance made IN mining
as in this last year; never have SO many
acres been ploWed never such a wealth
of harvest and of herds. Already her
people are preparing to present to con-
gress a constitution and to ask that the
circle of states shall be opened to add
another that brings as her gift mex
haustible mines, ENDLESS herds, noun
tains whose slopes are emerald and
whose deep hearts are filled with jewels.
More than that, on mountain and in

where the people who ask that the SOW
ereignty Of statehood be given their re-
gion, are q brave, true, strong race, q
race that only asks for q fair fight in q
fair field, and a race, too, that can be
counted implicitly on whenever their
country calls. Nowhere else has the
