WE would suggest to the stockmen
and others that they invite the De Mo
res company or enlist other capitalists
in the scheme of erecting meat refriger-
atlng works in this city, as soon as we
hall have railroad connection with the
Northern Pacific. 1t would insure a
market for the beeves at all seasons of
the year as they mature, and as all the
cattle would be sold by live weight, the
breeders Of improved stock would re-
ceive their reward. The Fort Worth
Meat company, recently started, slaugh-
tered 1000 head last February, and are
shipping to New York and Philadel-
phia. California and Oregon, once pro-
ducers, are now purchasing beef from
abroad. The runty little steers of New
ada sell upon the range for S75 to $50
for the California markets. With a re-
frigerating establishment at this point
we could undertake to supply Portland,
San Francisco and Sacramento, and
show the people Of the Pacific coast gen.
orally what really good beef is.

THE cases against the Custer county
robbers (the old gang of Cox, Garland,
Garrish, Hubbell & Co.. have come to
naught, as in the case against Garland
the motion to quash the indictment on
some technical point was sustained by
the court, and this is the end Of it. The
other cases fall on the same account.
Conger was there to help defend the
gang, who would never have gotten into
trouble if he had not been bounced from
the bench he disgraced. Several petty
criminals have been "sent up" during
the session of the court at Miles City,
but the ring that robbed and plundered
Custer county, stealing thousands of
dollars from the treasury, go scott free :!
Its such things as this that bring courts
and Juries into disrepute and make the
law seem a very mockery.

The prospects are that Indian Terri
tory will, in the next few years, be coy
cred with a network of railroads. There
are six bills now pending before con.
gress permitting wealthy corporations
to run tracks across the territory to con.
meet Texas with the states Of the north
west and Colorado. Three of the bills
have already been reported favorably
from committees, and are now pending
on the calendars of both the mouse and
senate. If reached they will doubtless
pass before the adjournment of congress,
and the three bills still before the COM
mittees will in all probability be favor
ably reported and passed. Each com
pany agrees to literally compensate the
Indians for the right Of way, but in
spite Of this there is general distrust
among the tribes. They feel that rail
roads building through their country
means their determination. and besides
sending their great chiefs to intercede,
numerous protests have been forwarded
to Washington. The feeling in CON
gress, however, is that the interests of
millions Of white people should net be
sacrificed to crafty a few savage tribes,
and there is a disposition to annul any
treaty that may stand in the way.

ONE Of the most singular features in
the scenery of Idaho is the occurrence
of dark rocky chasms into which large
stream and creeks suddenly disappear
and are never more seen. These ifs
sures are old lava channels, produced by
the outside Of the molten mass cooling
and forming a tube, which, on the fiery
stream becoming exhausted, has been
left empty, while the roof Of the lava
duet having at some point fallen in, pre-
sents there the opening into which the
river plunges and is lost.

Saturday says: For several days the

on Randall and Carlisle to procure a day
on which to consider territorial bust
ness not reported from the committee on

half of the committee on rules to allow
May 18th to be set apart for that pur-

The New York Sun has engaged
Gen. j.. S. Brisbin to write a series OF
articles on Montana and her varied re-
sources. The first letter, on the stock
industry, has already appeared, and it
deals ~eloquently with the subject. 1t is
rather unfortunate for Montana that the
exchange of the First and Second regi-
ments of cavalry will take Gen. Brisbin
to the Pacific coast, and beyond the con
fines Of the territory that he has done SO
much to boom.

Develop. He also says the most liberal
allowance for the wheat output neces-
sary to the worlds consumption shows
that the United States should be drawn
upon the present year for 178,O00,O 600
bushels, in round numbers, against 1885,
900 1000 bushels from all other wheat
growing countries. It thus appears that
the United States, instead of being con-
trolled, should be able to control foreign
markets.,

Gen SHERMAN says that the terrible
rifles used ia modern warfare should not
be used against mobs, at least until a
milder form of ammunition is tried.
Buckshot are recommended by the
General as better than the heavy conical
balls which make such frightful ravages.
lii such cases small shot, that scatter
widely and do no great damage, have
been recommended by the coolest and
most experienced men, as frightening
more than they hurt by distributing
themselves over a large area.

preliminary steps for celebrating the

as Delegate to Congress. The order
of exercises will include music, pa

before awakened the echoes in these
parts. The cause is sufficient to in
duce every Democrat to contribute
literally to its success. Every body
is invited to participate. Ample time
has been given to the preparation, so
that people from two hundred thous-
and miles around can all be here, and
eat and drink and be merry over an
event that has not heretofore occur
red for the last quarter of century.

Something Rare and Beautiful for
New Orleans Exposition
Ketchnm Keystone.

Ketchnm Keystone.
Mrs. Brodhead, wife of Col. w I'll.
Brodhead, has, during the past sum-
mer, taken the pains to collect, press
and preserve in their natural color
and shape specimens of the different
varieties Of flowers indigenous of this
altitude and climate. In all she has
1913 varieties arranged on 70 sheets
Of paper 8x10. She commenced In
May, as the flowers and blooming
plants put forth, and followed up her
work to the summit Of the Sawtooth,
commencing at an altitude Of 6,OOO
feet and closing at $500 to 10000
For all, or nearly all, she has applied
the botanical name. Being a student
of botany herself, has given her an
advantage in this respect possessed
by few. The collection is not only
rare, but beautiful; every flower, leaf
and stem retaining it's natural color
to wonderful degree. The collec-
ton is intended for the New Orleans
Exposition and will be taken, or sent
there by Mr.. Rupert or Col. Shoup
The contrast with the tropical and
semi tropical flowers and blooms will
be both interesting and instructive
and will no doubt attract great deal
of attention. The labor expended
and the artistic genius displayed in
collecting and arranging the different
varieties, makes the collection one Of
value, and a study to botanists ane
} horticulturists. 1t is hardly possible
that it will ever return and those O.
our citizens who appreciate sucl
things should not fail to see this rare
collection of wild flowers before i
leaves here, which will probably be-
in the course of week or ten days.
