The rush to Dakota, Montana, and
the territories beyond is greater than
last year. 1t is probable that Dakota
will receive an accession Of 100000 to
her population this year. She has now
about 100000 inhabitants. A year
hence it will exceed half a million.
The democrats refuse to admit this
vast territory as a state in the union
because she will vote the republican
ticket. A writer, speaking OF the rush,
says:
Observers stand amazed, and can only
ask where all the people come from.
The bulk of the newcomers are from
Norway, Sweden, and other Scandina-
Wan countries, but many are from the
northern states Of this republic. The
Northern Pacific railroad company has
been compelled to add third daily pas
senger train, only two trains per day
having been run hitherto. Sleeping:
cars for the ennigrants 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, at cheap
rates for food furnished, are now run
through to Portland, Oregon, so that
the emigrants may travel in compare
luxury. As the stream OF travel sets
wholly westward, transportation COM
panies are embarrassed by the difficult
ty of getting their rolling stock back
again without some loss of motive
power. According to ill reports, the
business Of the professional 'boomer'
in the northwest is taken out of his
hands. The country booms ITSELF

Washington Times:-A meek disciple

impaired to us the startling informa-
ton that he came to this country toget
money, but he said he would not live
on a claim, as it took too long to get
the land. Poor, deluded victim, he did
not say that he expected. to pick up ten
dollar gold pieces from the prairies, but
from his conversation, we came to the
conclusion that that was his SUPPOSE
ton. A great many people come to
this country exrectingtof find everybody
dupes, upon whom they can work al
most any scheme. But they have not
long to wait to see their Illusions an

that the peosle of this country ore the

any where. There is no country that
can show a more intelligent and shrewd
class Of business men, farmers, and in
fact every vocation, than in this ccun-
try. And 10 their live, active work.,
owe the rapid growth and progress of

FROM MULDUON.
The Mines Showing Large Quantities Of
Ore, aud the Smelling Furnaces IL be
Started Up Soon.

Colonel Ballantine, Superintendent
of the Little Wood River Mining and
Smelling Company, came into Haley
to-day, for the first time this winter.
He reports Muldoon pretty badly
showed in, and provisions and sup
plies on hand for only so days longer.
A force of about Is men has been
kept at work all winter on the COM
pany's mines, doing development
work. In running drifts, ETC., be-
tween 400 and 500 tons of ore have
been extracted, which are now in the
yard at the furnaces. There is large
quantity of ore in sight in the com
pany's mines, and the supply is ample
to keep the two 4O-ton furnaces going
uninterruptedly. These will be blown
in as soon as the weather and roads
permit-which, from present appear.
ances, will not be before the middle
of May.
The road between Bellevue and
via Slaughterhouse gulcb,
is expected to be impracticable until
the first of June. In the meantime
all travel to and fro must be by way
Of Tiku's, as the only bridge over
Little Wood River is on the old stage
road to Blackfoot, and the river will
not be fordable until July, at least.

ty are in favor of Mitchell, and that
many voters will call upon them before

This gentleman is an original b3ltsr.
he boltsd in 1872, and assisted in try
ing to rs-elect Corbett to the Senate.
In 1874 he again bolted and assisted in
the election of the Independent ticket
in Douglas county. In 1875. 1878,
1880 and 1882 he was on a bolt con-
stantly. The "1S" cast one vote for
him for senator. and be forthwith tele-
grsPhed to them, "Stand firm, boys, I
come on the nezt train" During all
these years it was not "Bingen on the
Rhine," but "Binger on the Whine"

member his political crookedness and
who may not feel disposed to reward

Democrats throughout the state
should remember that the legislature
to be elected next month will be called
upon to elect United States Senator
in place of Senator Slater. 1t seems to
have been arranged at the late ReLub-
lican State Convention that Portland
shall have the senator 10 case the Re-
publicans elect majority. of the legis-
lature. The choice Of Portland will be
Mitchell first, then George or Hirsch.
No more unfortunate thing could hap
pen to the state than the election OF
either one of these men. It goes with
out saying that Democrats in all parts
OF the state should put forth herculeau
efforts to secure the election Of Dem
ocratis legislature to prevent the elec.
ton of either Of the above trio.
