Where IS the Gunnison Countrya

It is in the heart Of Colorado, west Of
the continental watershed Of the Rocky
Mountains, and midway the State north
and south. Out there they speak OF it
merely as a valley but within its bounds
you might lay the whole State of Massa-
chusetts. This is an estimate Of area.
On the other hand, you might put the
whole population and available wealth
of this big valley into the Bay State
without anybody knowing it. Wait a
century. however and then try it.

THE shipping bill as it passed the SEN
ate provides that all officers of United
States vessels shall be American citizens.
Tonnage dues are abolished as to Amer
lean vessels the same as to vessels of
other nations which do not impose the
tonnage known as Light money" or
otherwise on American vessels, but this
provision Is not to impair any treaty
obligations. The marine hospital tax is
abolished, and the expense of maintain
ing such hospitals devolves upon the
United States. When a vessel is built
in the United States for foreign account,
wholly or partly of foreign materials on
which import duties have been paid a
per cent. is allowed as a drawback when
the vessel is imported. The bill also re-
duces from $25 to $40 a year the fee to be
paid by steam vessels of 100 tons or I'M
der for inspection, the fee to be in addi-
ton to the amount allowed by law for
issuing the enrolment.

The failure Of the firm of Grant. &
Ward sinks the private fortune Of Gen.
Grant, who was a member of the firm.
The liabilities are estimated at ten mil
lion dollars. with very little to show in
the way Of assets, making it a most re-
markable failure. Fortunately the fund
created by the wealthy friends of the
General upon his retirement from the
presidency is not involved, as will be
seen by the following statement by Geo.
Jones, of the New York Times, who is
one Of the ~custodians of the fund:
"Gen. Grants fund of $4,000 is abso-
Iutely safe. Hitherto we have paid the
interest annually. On the LIST of May of
each year the General has in his poses
sion SIS, $40, the interest in full on the
investment. Hereafter we shall pay it
quarterly, not only because he needs the
money, but because we do not mean
that any one else should lay hands on
it. I was with Gen. Grant last Sunday
and he was III complete ignorance Of
the impending disaster. Other than
this fund he does not possess a dollar,
and more than that he is deeply and
almost irretreivably in debt. What he
did IN Wall street he did for his sons,
and it seems too sad that this man, who
has done SO much for his country,
should be left in his old age dependent
upon the nation for help.

AS will be seen by the following from
the senate proceedings, the cowboy
Indian episode on the Rosebud, in
Montana, is considered Of sufficient inn
portance to draw from Senator Dawes a
resolution of inquiry:
Dawes offered a resolution, which
was agreed to, calling Oh the secretary
Of the interior for information whether
any steps had been taken to prosecute
one Holferino for shooting an Indian
named Black Wolf. Holferino, he said,
was the cowboy who made a bet that
he could put a rifle ball through the
Indians hat without touching his head.
However, he made a slight mistake in
the matter, and put the bullet right
through his head. The Indians felt
outraged by this act. and in the excite
ment growing out of the incident burn
ed house belonging to the cowboys.
The house burners were tried and SEN
fenced to five years Imprisonment, but
the mar who shot the Indian was still
untried and UNPUBLISHED. The Indians,
Dawes added, naturally felt that justice
had not been done, and his resolution
was intended to bring out the facts as to
what effort had been made to prosecute
the first offender.

The Booming Northwest.

Letters from the northwest say that
the immigration to Montana, Dakota
and the territories beyond is this year
already of vast proportions. Observers
stand amazed, and can only ask where
all the people come from. The bulk of
the newcomers are from Norway, SWe-
den and other Scandinavian countries,
but many are from the northern states
of this republic. The Northern Pacific
railroad company has been compelled to
add a third daily passenger train, only
only two trains per day having been
run hitherto. Sleeping cars for the inn
migrants are now in use, the passengers
furnishing their own bedding, as a rule,
but being able to hire suitable supplies
on the train. These cars, with a dining
car Cat cheap rates for food furnished,
are now run through to Portland, Ore
gon, SO that the immigrants may travel
in comparative luxury. AS the stream
Of travel sets wholly westward, trans
p~ortation companies are embarrassed by
the difficulty of getting their rolling
stock back again without some loss Ct
motive power. According to all reports
the business of the professional s'boom-
err in the northwest is taken out OF his
hands. The country booms itself.-NeW

We can refer with pride to the fact, as
setforth in our local columns, that Cho-
team county can boast Of the most ex-
tensive herd of cattle in Montana, that
is, owned by one firm Or company. In
Guiding their late purchases and the
increase for this year, the Benton & St.
Louis cattle company are the of
about 25, 900 head of cattle, which repre-
sents in cash, with their Improvements,
range rights, ETC., not less than a round
million dollars. We do not be-
lieve that there is another firm
or company IN the whole territory
that has as much money in cattle.
Their cattle range on the Marias, al
most a virgin range, and came through
the past severe winter with only d
nominal loss. The Marias range is
similar in character to the great reser-
walton that is one or later to be
opened to settlement-an event that
will give the stock industry of ChO-
teau county an immense boom. With
such a range open to them We have
no doubt the herds of the Benton &
st. Louis Cattle company will receive
such additions as will make Alex.
Swan look to his laurels if he wants to
maintain his position as chief Of the
cattle kings of the west.
