Great Falls boasts Of q steam saw
mill, a steam planning mill and a steam
Touring mill. Verify, the great water
power of that great city appears to be
left out in the cold and unavailable
Townsend Tranchant.
Evidently the Tranchant people
do not understand the situation. As
to the the saw and planning mills, they
are steam mills, and we feel proud of
them. But the simple fact that they
are steam mills, does not necessarially
reflect any discredit upon our water
power. Steam was used merely for
tbs sake of convenience in handling
RATED material. To have located
these mills below tho rapids where
they could have utilized the water
power, would have made the rafting

AS to the Touring mill, at the last mo-

run the mill to its full capacity, would
require few more horse power than
the water would furnish, without e2-

Governor Hauser has telegraphed
to Secretary Lamar that Father Bron-

ports that the Indians in that country
are suffering for the want of food
The report is discredited at the de-

and supplies furnished If necessary.

Few people appreciate the useful
ness of the country newspaper. 1t
is common TO speak of it with con-
tempt, to compare it with the great
city weeklies and say it is not worth
the money it cost. But there is no
surer indication of the character,
sentiment, and life of town than
the tone and make up of its weekly
paper. If you take it up and find a
bright newsy sheet, clear of debase-
ing lottery and medical advertise
ments, you may be sure it is read in
respectable families and that its
weekly advent is welcomed by them.
If you find its columns taken up
with editorial quarrels, and idle i'll
natured gossip, you may be sure
that while it may be looked for by a
certain class, it has but little power
with the moral portion of the CON-
munity. If its advertising columns
are well filled it shows that it is pub
lished in a live community, whose
business men appreciate the impOr-
lance of having a medium Of COM
municatiOn with the people, a me-
dunn that can only be kept up by
liberal encouragement on their part,
for anyone who will give the matter
a moments thought will see that the
majority of local papers are pub
lished at a loss as far as the subscri-
bers are concerned, and if they are
to pay it must be through their adj
vertisers' patronage. 1t is in CON-
munities where this is appreciated
that they are best sustained.
One other point, they are read by
hundreds who see no other paper,
they beget taste for reading that
the community would never have
without them. If their columns are
clean they raise the moral and intel
lectual standard, and are stepping
stones that lead to the taking of
other papers of a higher class.
In conclusion, if you have a pa
per in your town that fills these re-
quirements sustain it by subscrib-
ing and by liberal advertising.

The September cotton report of the De

lence of hot and dry weather during August,
except in Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida,
Shedding of bolls and decrease Of vitality

The prospect is still favorable for crop
slightly above an average.
The silver men say that there is not the
least hope the repeal Of the Bland Silver
Bill, and that it is doubtful if any legislation
modifying the act can be got through Con
gress, but it is hard to prophecy what may be
done It is Of the highest importance that
the speaker of the House, whoever he may
be, should be in favor of a change, and should
show himself to be in favor Of it by appoint
ing favorable Committee on Coinage. If he
wishes to act in harmony with the President
and the Secretary of the Treasury, he will
appoint committee, the majority of whose
members will be pronounced in favor of a
change. The people must understand that
unless at least majority of that committee
Is favorable to a change no action can be had
at all. But if you can accomplish these two
things-the impression upon the minds of
Congressman that the people want something
done, and the right constitution Of the Com
nittee on Coinage, in my Judgment proper
bill can be passed by the next Congress.
1t is generally conceded that the Admins
tratiou has accomplished a great deal during
the short time it has been in power. One
thing is certain, it has acquired strong hold
upon the people. The question of who holds
the few Offices or who does not is of some
importance, but not of the importance greet
many people claim. The honest intent of
an honest administration cannot be denied
to Mr.. Cleveland, and the business commu-
nifty are perfectly satisfied.
Ex-senator Hamilton, of MARYLAND, made
a speech at a farmers exhibition in West
Virginia short time ago that cas- made
stir in the Patent Office. He charged that
there were more frauds committed against
the farmers in the ISSUANCE of patents for ag-
ricultural machinery than there were in any
other department of the government. It is
understood that Senator Hamilton intended
his remarks to relate to ploughs, threshers,
wire fences and driven wells. It has been
contended for long time that the Patent
Office has been too liberal in granting pat
ents for everything that the farmer must use,
and than there is a combination between GER
tain manufacturers of agricultural implement
and employees of the Patent Office which op-
crates directly against the farmer. The pol
icy of the Patent Office has been in tile past
it is claimed, to increase the receipts of the
office as much as possible by issuing as many
patents as they can regardless of the ques-
ton as to whether they are of value or CON
tain new ideas This policy has operated
directly against the farmer probably more
than against any other class of users of pat
ent machinery, Senator Hamilton when in
Congress was a member ofthe Committee on
Patents, and agitated unsuccessfully for sew
eral years a reform of the Patent Office and
its practices.

GREENBACKs are actually at a pre-
MUM over silver, and are being
traded in as if they were merchan-
disc. Since the order of treasurer
Jordan prohibiting sub-treasuries
from paying out any more one and
twO-dollar bills, those denominations
have been very scarce. The object
of the order was to force into circu-
latiOn the standard silver dollars,
which nobody likes to carry, and
which the government has been
obliged to pile away in it's big vaults,
while its gold surplus has been de-
creasing to an alarming extent.
New one and two-dollar bills no
longer being issued by the govern
ment, those in circulation are sought
for by the banks. The consequence
is they are worth small premium
above par. This is said to be the
first time in the history of the coun-
try that paper currency has sold at
a premium.
