GENERAL JOHN GIBBoN, while sta
toned at Fort Shaw, was a persistent
advocate OF the great agricultural re-
sources of Montana. By his writings
and public u%tterances he forced the
opinion, and demonstrated it, that the
bench lands of northern Montana could
be made the grain producing section of
the territory. The post garden at Fort
Shaw was made under his direction ON
the second bench. A ditch several
miles in length was built, water brought
on, the garden proved a great success,
and has been in use for many years,
producing crops which it would be hard
to beat. The experiment made by Gen.
Gibbon was followed by others in the
Sun river valley and elsewhere with
great success. Since her climatic
changes have taken place and good
crops lave been raised on the bench
lands without irrigation. Although IL
crop cannot be depended on without
water, still enough has been done to
verify the prediction of Gen. Gibbon,
who was one of the most enthusiastic
advocates of agriculture ever in Mon
tana.

THE officials of the general land office
say that the practice of fencing without
warrant large tracts of public land and
making fraudulent entries has been in
dulged in more the past year that ever
before. In Colorado, Nevada and Ne
braska the land fencers have been par
ticularly active, but Montana seems not
to have offended seriously in this direc-
ton. The number Of fraudulent entries
reported for this territory is only twenty
four, while in Colorado it reaches $50,
New Mexico 827, Dakota 460, and other
states and territories in decreasing num-
her.

If the building boom at White Sui
phur should continue with the activity
of the past season, it will not be many
years until the Springs will be, not only
the most popular watering place and
hea,t.l resort, but II of the important
ci,lv, of the territory. There is m
thing upon which to base hopes Of such
growth. The springs alone are a great
attraction and will continue to be All IN
creasing source of revenue and wealth.
The mountains surrounding, and near
at hand, are proving to be rich in the
precious minerals, and ere long the
town will be fairly environed with min
ing camps, tributary to it and adding in
no small way to its general prosperity.
The outlook is certainly bright, and her
citizens are confident Of the future.
The most imposing structure in the
town is the three-story brick hotel in
course of erection by Jonas Higgins.
The brick work is done and it is expect
ed that the building will be completed
by the 1st of October. The style Of
architecture is somewhat like the Grand
Union hotel Of this city, and it presents
a very fine appearance. The house will
contain forty rooms, and good ones, SO
hat it is clearly a pretty big "tepee,o
one that would be creditabIe to a town
many times larger than White Sulphur
Springs. Among other Improvements
of the year we noticed, in addition to
those made by the association, are DIR.
Parberry's double brick block, two sto-
ries high, occupied by the Bank Of
Meagher County, DR.. Kumpe's drug
store, the Masonic hall, a saloon, and
offices up stairs; a two-story brick bust
ness house. in curse of erection, by
James Mcdonald, the saddler; a large
store building by Anderson Bros. s. Co.;
a mammoth building used as a skating
rink, a planning mill, two store rooms
and three or four residences-all built
by R. S. Price; a large addition and
warehouse by Spencer, Mayne & Heit-
man; the IXL saloon building, and
numerous smaller structures and resi-
dences. This is but a partial catalogue
from memory Of the buildings, but
it ought to be sufficient to convince any
one that the boom has been rather q
substantial one.

TO-DAY we are able to lay before the people of the valley few aus ,hentic points, which we promised some time ego, regarding the rais- ing of sorghum and the manufac- lure of sorghum products. h the first place, sorghum can be eraised wherev- CT corn will grow, and with about the same amount of cultivation, except that the cane stands thicker uI on the ground, and where hood by ihc old hand process, of course requires more hoeing.
 In the states north of the Ohio the average estina ale, carefully made is 106 gallons of syrup per acre, By what is called the Stewart pro> cess Of manufacturing sorghum sugar, each gallon of syrup will on first granulation yield four pounds of fine, dry sugar, or about 425 pounds of sugar to the acre, beside the drips from the sugar, which amount 10 about 70 gallons. These drips find ready wholesale at 30 cents per gallon. Counting the sugar worth 10 cents per pound, for which price 1t finds ready mark ct the result Tn saccharlne product per acre is about gro, and this in the northern section of country indI- csted in the beginning of this arti- cle. Aside from the:sugar ard syrup product, the leaves are valuable as fodder, even more valuable than corn fodder, and the seed, if prop erly saved ard threshed like wheat yields as much grain food for stock as the average acre of corn-and sor. gbum seed is as valuable as a feed for stock as corn.
 Sorghum, therefore, cannot fail 10 be most valuable crop wherever grown, and especially 80 in the fer tile valleys of Arizona. Here in the Salt river valley sorghum grows

RAINS east and west during

RAINS east and west during the past week or ten days have been very heavy. The pluvial bounty which we have been enjoying In Arizona has not been poured cut np0l the righteous alone, but from all parts of the continent, from the Pacific to the Atlantic there has been an excessive fall of liquid or congealed H2O. The dwellers upon the banks of the fitful Ohio are again rocsting on their chimney tops, and running ferry boats from door to door, and the same is true along many of the feeders of that romantic stream. West of the Mis- siesippi, especially in the Rocky mountains. and the great platea u between them and the Sierra Ne vsdas and in the latter mountains the fall has been principally snow The general character of the storm
 however, is the remarkable thing about it as it is-exceedingly rare that a stolm extends over more than a few thousand square Dliles.
