The extraordinary order Of the new
commissioner Of the general land Of
flee, s~uspending all entries depending
upon settlement or improvement, says
the Bozeman correspondent Of the n.
Y. Tribune, will prove a serious dam
age to the West. This sweeping or
der attaches to all forms Of entry
sought by the general settler-in Of
feet, and actually refusing patent to
every claimant under the homestead,
presumption and desert land laws, no
matter how perfect his final proof OF
compliance with law may be, until a
special agent or detective may have
examined into the case. But this or
der does not touch the character OF
entries sought by Spectators, namely,
those which allow purchase with cash
or script. This script gets a boom in
price, and the settler is left to the
tender mercies of the detective!
That Eastern readers may fully IN
derstand this matter, the course re
CURED to secure a United States pat
may be briefly explained. The home
stead IL presumption settler, when
ready to prove up" must advertise

type, variations that mig ht be allowed
in the finest machinery would render
type useless. It is very rarely that
type furnished by two separate found
RES a be used together without a
great deal Of trouble, even though
they should try to make it after the
standard. We read once in a while Of
a wonderful piece of cabinet or mosaic
work containing ten, twenty or fifty
thousand pieces, the maker of which
has spent months, OF even years, of
labor in producing it; and people go
to see it as a curiosity. But the most
elaborate and careful piece of work of
this kind ever made does not compare
for minuteness OF detail or accuracy
of fitting with what the printer does
every day. The man who does the
first is looked upon as a marvel of
skill, and if one hundred Of his pieces
are put in wrong side up or turned
around, it is not noticed in the gener-
al effect; but If the printer in fitting
ten times as many pieces together in
q single day, puts M in the wrong
way, everybody sees it, and is amazed
at the stupid ~carelessness of the
nrinters.:

ing the tract as to section and town
ship, naming the witnesses by whom
he expects to prove his compliance
with law, the officers before whom,
and the time and place selected. This
done, he appears upon the day set,
makes his proof and payment, and, if
no n appears against him, and the
officers accept his proof as good, a fl
nal certificate is issued to him. It is
not doubted that an occasional fraud
ulent proof is made; but it is a sub
ieet of proof that in the vast majority
of cases the letter and spirit of the
law are fully complied with; and ex-
p~erience shows that in most of even
the so-called fraudulent cases, the
spirit if not the letter has been lived
up to. But witness the effect upon
such settlers of this order. Often
they are obliged to borrow the money
with which to make the final proof;
often they, to continue their improve
ments, are again forced to borrow,
and before this vicious order appear
ed d settler able to make a good
final proof, experienced but little, If
any difficulty. But now, who will
loan upon land prior to actual patent
when such an order is operative?
Who can borrow a dollar with which
to make homestead or presumption or
desert land improvement? Who can
borrow for final proof? No more in
furious order was ever issued. It will
prevent and not secure compliance
with the terms Of the various land
laws; and must unavoidably cause
many entries.t to lapse because of set
tiers inability to raise the money re-
CURED by the date their time may ex-
pire. To the West will march an
army of land office detectives, not
during the tendency Of a claim, but
after It may have been proved; while
the patent may lag fol- months and
years, preventing the passing Of titles,
depressing the value Of lands and
~subjecting the settler to the mercy Of
hordes of so-called Examiners"
Again it is noticeable that this order
is not to be applied to any except the
Western states and territories.

WILL HANKS, PUBLISHER.

A VERY unsatisfactory change has
been made IN running the mail from
Sun River here, and n which de-
mands immediate attention from the
department. Heretofore the mails
have arrived here twice each week
Tuesday and Friday-from Sun river
crossing, but the new contract, which
went into effect the first of the pres
ent month, calls for the mail to be
delivered here on Monday and Friday.
For what reason the change was made
is hard to conjecture, unless it was a
piece of low cussedness. It practic-
ally gives us no mail facilities at all.
The bulk of the mail arrives in the
crossing Tuesday morning, and by the
Old schedule, arrived here the same
Cay, but by the new arrangement will
consequently lay in the postoffice at
the crossing until the next Friday,
The mail which arrives here Monday
hereafter will have only Saturday and
Sundays eastern mail, while Fridays
mail will have Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Fridays mail, a por-
ton of which is nearly one week old.
Inasmuch as no mail arrives at the
crossing at all from Saturday night
until the following Monday afternoon,
there is no sense OF justice in having
the mail leave Monday morning, de
priving Us of the privilege Of three
hter Aails, which by the old schedule
we received The change in the days
Of delivering the mail here is a mat
ter of 40 more convenience to any one
connected with it, but is to the public
an outrage and injustice which the
Department IS duty bound to right
Immediately. II the change was the
outgrowth of a scheme, we trust that
the schemers may enjoy the privilege
of a-once-a-weekcayuse mail route
before the moon changes more than a
dozen times more, with the meanest
man IN the world to carry it.

A GENTLEMAN, recently from Mime
| apolis, after viewing the advantages
possessed by Great Falls, unburdened
his enthusiasm thusly: "Great Falls
is the most magnificently situated
town on the continent. It has not a
single feature but which strongly
marks its future greatness. Its water
| power is practically unlimited, while
it's accessibility and easy utilizationi is
truly marvellous. The famous water
power at Minneapolis, which has made
hat city what it is to-day, is simply
nothing compared toit. I was wholly
unprepared for the sight which it pre-
sented- The St. Anthony Falls had
heretofore been my ideal of a natural
power, bat they melted into insignif-
canoe when placedin comparison with
the Falls of the Missouri. The coun-
try surrounding Great Falls surprised
me equally as much. was prepared
to see a boundless waste Of %unproduc-
tive land, which is SO often seen in the
west, and, instead, saw a scope Of
country which completely did away
with my previous expectations. It is
a perfect garden. I never saw such
wheat as it produces. It is perfectly
astonishing. With the surrounding
mineral wealth, together with the
many other varied resources, Great
Falls is destined to equal if not sur
pass Minneapolis. There is no com
bination Of adverse circumstances
which could be brought to bear
against it that could possibly deter
its prosperity. A natural location for
a city, backed by such a variety of re-
sources as that possessed by Great
Falls, has no cause to worry about the
future. The moneyed men Of the east
see in Great Falls the future inland
manufacturing and commercial city
OF the northwest, and many are al
ready taking the stepsto secure a foot
hold. I shall go home with an entirely
different idea Of northern Montana
than 7 possessed before my visit. My
trip has been a continual surprise, and
it is needless to say, an agreeable
omar

A REPORT is currents we are in
formed, that the TRIBUNE will shortly
leave Great Falls. We are forced to
admit that it has caused us some little
surprise, because il the TRIBUNE
should leave this place we want to
know it, SO as to be prepared to go
along, as we have no desire to part
company with it. It is probably I'M
necessary to refute the lie, for its par
entage is sodoubtful. But it certain
ly originated in the enfeebled brain
Of an idiot and then voiced around

IT is safe to say that the acreage OF
wheat soWn next year will exceed that
Of the whole amount sown the past
three years, aud probably more. The
simple fact that wheat can be success
fully grown on the bench lands with
out irrigation, (which the crop this
year will prove to the satisfaction of
the credulous) will justify this. Then
another great drawback to the cult
walton of this cereal has been the
lack Of milling facilities, without
which made its production decidedly
improbable, and has to a great OK
tent deferred its development. But
the establishment Of a tirst-class mill
at Great Falls viii have the effect Of
doing away with this great disadvan-
tage, and will insure a ready market
for the surplus grain produced.

plenty Of good horses to steal, broad
prairies to range on, mountains to
hide in, and last, but not least, the
red British marauders just across the
line to bear the blame for il all. II
the Piegans, Gros fentres, and tie
rest Of the northern Montana reds do
not feel that they have struck the
Happy Hunting Grounds at last. then
they don't appreciate a good thing
when they have it.
While the writer Of the above may
know whereof he speaks, concerning
the depretations of the Indians in
eastern and western Montana, but as
for Northern Montana, he evidently
has been m~isinforned, OF is laboring
under a severe mental Naturalization,
as the northern Indians have so far
as known stolen but a few cayuses,
and as for them butchering cattle for
the mere pleasure of seeing them die,
it is a mistake, as our cattlemen are
not in the habit Of standing quietly
by and soc their property thus ma
iicioUsly destroyed, and no n knows
it any better than the Indians them-
selves. The Indian has been d cloak
| under which the white fustler has
| carried on his nefarious business and
escaped punishment. 1t is safe to say
that not one-tenth of the crimes
charged to the Indians are committed
by them, but are committed by the
whites, and then for convenience sake
are laid at the door Of the poor In
dian. Such articles as the above have
no business in print, unless they are
substantiated by facts, and even then
they may be suppressed, Their pub
LEGATION has only the effect Of retard-
ing the development Of the Territory.
People throughout the east have a
horror Of anything savoring Of In
dams, and are easily prejudiced
against any section where the Indians
are wont to commit such crimes as
the Inter-NIountain charges them
with. Northern Montana, except, per
haps, that portion which borders di-
rectly on the frontier, is as free from
Indian deyiltry as the country in the
immediate vicinity of New York City.
The Inter-Mountain is not doing
justly by the Territory which gave it
birth and has sustained it, by pub
fishing long boog-a-boo stories, which
have no reliable foundation, and can
but reflect against the security Of life
and property within its boundaries.

The Inter-Mountain in speaking Of
the late Indian wars V

IHE Ihtef-Aiountaln III speaking OF
the late Indian wars says:
SO far as our Montana Indians are
concerned, they seem to have aban-
doned murder and accepted the next
best thing, to live GA the white mans
bounty through the winter and steal
literally from him during the warmer
season. Thus it is that every mail
brings fresh news OF the earnest in
dustFy with which the red men of
eastern, western and northern Mon
tana are carrying on the seasons pro-
gramme. In northern Montana they
seem to be particularly active. So far
this spring there have been some
twenty cases Of Indian horse theft re-
ported from that section, sometimes
forty or fifty animals being taken at
once. Many cattle have been butch
cred, often for no other purpose than
that wanton one Whlchin the past ac-
tuated the majority Of the whites in
killing buffalo-just for the fun Of
seeing them die. Northern Montana
is a good country for them in all re-
speets-plenty of fat cattle to live on,

Senator Fair, of Nevada, has not usual
ly been regarded as a great orator, but
on tho occasion Of his return to Carson,
the other day, he made a speech to a
large crowd of feIlow-citizens, assembled
in front of the hotel to give him well
come, that has seldom been equaled for
its pleasing and instantaneous effect up
on the hearers. The senator first ex-
pressed deep joy at being among his
friends again, and thanked them for
their fervid greeting. He then allu ed
feeIingly to the many times during his
absence at Washington that his thoughts
had gone back to "the old Comstock and
her people" and the scenes amid which
he had passed the happiest days of his
life. He then assured his constituents
that no one had ever tried harder to do
his duty than he, and concluded in these
stirring words: 'tellow citizens, thank
YOU for this homelike welcome, and cor
daily invite YOU al to come up stairs
and join in taking some refreshments"
The effect of this elegant peroration was
instant, and probably the records of
American oratory might be sought in
vain for a passage whose unstudIed
beauty and pleasing significance appeal
ed SO directly and powerfully to the
human heart.

Our attention has been called to the
cultivation of Alfalfa in California, Scot
land and in the mountainous regions of
South America, and the lack of any OBJ
ioction to it's being produced IN Montana.
1t is cultivated at height of Ii 900 feet
and upward above the sea level, conse-
quently the danger of frost, when
first planted Is passed, the plant will en-
dure considerable degree Of cold and
ought to be introduced into Gallatin
Valley, where irrigation will aid it's
growth. 1t can be raised where no water
is available for irrigation, but in such
cases not over three or four cuttings can
be made in one season. Eight crops are
not uncommon in California in one sea-
son of this productive plant, and it will
yield fifteen years without replanting.
If the crop gets thin by reason of winter
pasturage, a light sprinking of seed is
sown followed by light narrowing. In
preparing field for alfalfa 1t should of
course be easily irrigated The land
should be thoroughly and deeply plowed
and repeatedly narrowed. The seed should
not be sown until the danger of frost is
passed, as the young plant is extremely
tender. Twenty to twenty-five pounds
of seed to the acre is sufficient, and the
broadcast method Of sowing is recon-
mended. Three crops come to maturity
the first year, the second produces five
cuttings, which is reaped directly after
after the flower appears on the stalk. In
curing it should not be allowed to be-
come dry. After cutting irrigate again,
