The Holiday River Press.

The Holiday RIVER PREss-only re-
ceived a few days ago-is an excellent
and truly meritorious paper. 1t not
only ably represents and illustrates the
business interests and established houses
of the river metropolis, but it contains a
great fund of information regarding the
grazing, agricultural and mineral re-
sources of the vast territory adjoining,
known as the Indian reservation-a
tract of country large enough for an or
binary state, which by the general gov
ernment has been set apart, under some
sort of sentimental policy, ostensibly for
the use of few thousand Indians, who
make no use of it whatever, excep5 to
roam over it occasionally in quest of
struggling buffalo, antelope and jack
rabbits.
Fort Benton is, perhaps, the most en-
terprising and progressive town in Mon
tana, as is evidenced by the substantial
support it permanently extends to IT'S
newspapers, which, by the way, have
done more towards its growth and COM
mercial prosperity than all other in
f1uences combined. In this regard the
business men and citizens of Benton
generally have manifested q sagacity
which residents of other towns would
do well to emulate.-BoZeman Courier.

Advice to Reservation Raiders By One who
Has Been There.

1
If, as 1t is understood, Major Maginnis
| favors throwing open the Blackfeei
country from a point west of the Sweet
| Grass hills eastward to the 10Sfh meri
dian, it will give for settlement the most
| valuable agricultural and pastoral lands
| in northern Montana The time is past
| when it can be of value to the Indians
for any purpose. Along the valley OF
in the territory, while the country north
is one of the best cattle ranges in the
world. The bottom lands on Milk river
and on the numberless little streams
which empty into it are all of surprising
fertility Other lands on the south OF
the Little Rockies and Bars Paw
mountains are equally valuable.
To those who will no doubt seek this
new paradise a few pointers might be
given as to good locations. 1t is only a
few years ago that the section Of country
north and east of Fort Benton was
thought by nen-agricultural people to be
little less than a desert and the fitting
home of buffalo, Indians and sage brush.
Little or no attempts had been made to
produce crops, except at Fort Belknap,
where few potatoes were planted in
the spring of 1874. AS an experiment
the crop was a success, as far as the
growth was concerned, but the Indians
at that time were much interested in
agriculture, and as soon as the potatoes
had attained any siz the savages used
to dig them and replace the vines in the
hills. A few, however, were allowed to
mature ana proved beyond a doubt that
they could be raised successfully. Maj.
Lincoln has since repeated the expert
ment, and vegetables and grain are
grown abundantly.
AS hay country, the bottom lands on
Milk river cannot be beaten. Even as
far down as the big bend grass grows
luxuriantly. It is beyond question good
land for raising crops. In view OF the
fact that such a large tract Of country is
good, arabic land, the eye of the would
be settler is cast longingly towards it,
1t will be almost impossible not to Sc
cure good location the great danger
will be the crowding in particular To-
calities. From all that can be learned
there will not be land enough on Sandy,
Birch and Eagle creeks for all who are
contemplating going to those favored
places. There are other locations equal
ly as good but not so we'll known, SO the
great rush will be to these fertile valleys.
1t would be well for the prospective set
tier, when the rush comes, to go quietly
and secure good land in some other sec
ton, thereby avoiding endless litigation
and rest happier in the territory which
God and an ali-wise government pro-
yideS.

Failures in 1888.

| From the yearly review Of R. G. Dun
& Co.'S commercial agency it appears
that the number Of failures in the United
States during the year past was 8, 1874
which is an increase of 36 per cent. over
the previous year. The firms failing
had an Indebtedness of $173, 900, 600
Commenting on this the review says
That over 5000 traders have failed dur
| ing the year is a circumstance of mark ed
| Significance The number is greater
than in any year since 1878, which was
the eliminating point Of five years de-
preston and liquidation succeeding the
panic of 1878. AS compared with 1878
the circumstances of 1883 widely differ.
1t would have been impossible to ex-
pect anything else but disasters in 1878,
as the result of many years of loss, de
probation Of assets, and exhaustion
with restricted trade, a universal want
of confidence, and above all, the impen-
ding repeal OF the national bankrupt
law, which fact caused hundreds to fail
because of their anxiety to avail them
selves of a clearance from Indebtedness
which previous years Of misfortune had
rendered them unable to discharge.
In 1883 a vastly different condition Of
things is found. The country is in the
ulSIcSC ueSIee pIoopCiouS, 81 ldI dts pro-
ductive forces are concerned. The de-
velopment of large portions of the con
tinent has gone forward with great
rapidity in the west and northwest,
while in the south steady growth Of
material prosperity is everywhere visi-
bic. There are no disturbing political
elements, and the financial problems
which formerly threatened the country
seem TO he working themselves ont
without agitation or loss.
Succeeding several years Of unwonted
prosperity, large immigration and great
growth, the startling fact presents itself
that, in the midst of all this, 10000 fail
ures occur in twelve months. 1t indi-
Gates that entire safety in business is not
always coincident with largely increas-
ed trade, augmented productive forces,
and the presence of all the conditions of
a generally widespread prosperity.
The review then points to the fact
that in 1878 there were about $4,000
firms reported, while now the number
of active traders amounted to 100000,
and that with the growth of business a
comparative increase in the number of
failures is to be expected. That failures
should have been Sc numerous, while
the country as whole was prosperous,
is attributed to the ruinous competition
and to outside speculation. This outside
speculation is defined as board of trade
deals in lard, grain, oil, and other oscil-
lating property. The encouraging fact
is added that the business men who
have been toying with the bucket shop
tiger have either failed or lost heavily,
so as to induce them to reform in either
case.

Northern Gold Discoveries.

A letter has beem received by gen.
tleman in town stating that there is all
probability of a stampede in the spring
to Quartz creek, which lies forty miles
north of Kicking Horse river, in British
Columbia. This is on the west side OF
the main range and about sixty-fiye
miles west of the Healy mines. Quite
a number of men are waiting for the
snow to go off in order to get irso the
new mines, which are claimed to pay
from $40 to $12 day. These mines can
hardly be called new, as they were first
discovered some twenty years ago but
were soon abandoned on account of
costly transportation and short seasons.
The approach of the Canadian Pacific
will make freighting cheaper, and the
miners hope to make it stick this time,
and no doubt the railroad will boom the
camp for all it is worth.
