Indian Raids.

Down about Billings and thence north
ward to the Missouri the air is thick with
horse-stealings and rumors of horse
stcalings. The Crows are stealing from
the Piegans and the Piegans from the
Crows, and as details of the two tribes
journey back and forth across country or
raids and counter raids, pursuits and re-
treats. they pick up few white mems
horses or white thieves take hand in the
game and throw the odium on the In
dians. Now the ENTERPRISE has a rem
edy to suggest. There is a squad of
soldiers at Fort Maginnis, the most OF
whom have never seen an Indian since
they have been at the post. Several
times this summer when Indians have
been reported in the vicinity a small de-
tachment of blue coats have been sent in
pursuit. The officer in command always
directed his men to take one biscuit in
their haversacks and when the biscuit
was eaten he always ordered return to
the fort for rations As consequence
no Indians were caught. Now if those
soldiers are not out here entirely for their
health why can they not be stationed dur
ing the horse stealing season in canton
ments stretched across the country IN
variably traversed by the Indians in their
raids? This would 60 long way toward
putting an end to the thieving. We re-
gard it as the duty of the military, rather
than the civil authorities, to look after
the Indians. If the soldiers scattered
over the territory are not for the purpose
of keeping the Indians in suojection and
on their reservations we have no concep-
ton of their duties. That Indians should
be constantly going back and forth on
these predatory raids almost in sight Of
the garrisons is disgrace to our alleged
army.

Babcock s. Miles party. which included
Congressman Payson, left their camp al
Firehole smoke shortly afterward arose
that was visible above the tops of the tim
Der among which it was situated. This
was certainly an unextinguished camp fire
that would warrant arrest under the laws
sought to be enforced. Whether it would
or would or would not warrant fine after
the evidence was heard we are not in po-
sition to say, but it was certainly very
foolish and unmagisterial for Justice Hall
to allow himself to lie cajoled into remit
ting the fine after he had once imposed it.
Judge Payson who was spokesman for the
arrested party is republican congress
man; Joseph Medill who was in his party
is editor of the Chicago Tribune, one Of
the big republican newspaper guns; Col.
Wear, superintendent of the Park, is a
democratic appointee. Perhaps this po-
litical chain may somewhat account for
the vehement criticisms that are being
made on the present condition of affairs in
the Park, all of which have grown out of
the alleged affront to the sacred person of
the Illinois statesman. In our opinion it
is we'll to vigorously protect the Park
against forest fires which, if they got,,rag-
ing among dead and fallen timber with
which the most verdant-looking woodland
in the Park is filled, would cut off CON-
munication for time and would destroy
a great element of the Parks attractive
ness for many years-until there was
new growth. The arrests already made
have had salutary effect To extinguish
his fire Is now the aim of the most care
less camper in the Park. The vigorous
enforcement of the game laws has had a
similar result with visitors and has done
much to protect game. During our re-
cent trip we had the frequent privilege of
seeing large flocks Of ducks and geese
remain fearlessly in the streams and ponds |
while their human enemies passed close
beside them. A litter OF offers exhibited |
the same carelessness at our approach and
did not cease their gambols. Fresh signs |
of elk and antelope were often seen. The
more no1ious animals, mountain lions and |
bears, to kill which is permitted, still
abound in the Park. Some of our party
saw specimen of each on the public
roads. It may be added that they did not
avail themselves of the privilege of des-
troying the beasts.
Another important reform in the new
of Park affairs is the sub
stitutlon of western mountaineers as as
'istant superintendent in place of the in
men who have heretofore
been sent out from the east to fill what
hey conceived to be sinecures. The new
men understand the nature Of their duties
md find them an accustomed pleasure
'ather than hardship. May the good
work continue.

Coal Mining At Trail Creek.

Active operations began this week in the
Hedges s. Byam coal mines at Trail creek
Several cars have been loaded at Noun
tain Side to fill urgent contracts at Hell
ena. But the work this week has been
mostly confined to erecting buildings for
the accommodation of men and teams
and to opening the mines so that they
can be rapidly worked. Mr.. Geo. V.
Morford, the contracting agent, says that
in day or two they expect to be in
position to take out from 100 to $50 tons
daily. To a question if he could market
it all Mr.. Morford laughed and said his
only fear was that he could not take out
coal fast enough to supply the demand.
He expects Helena alone to take 800 tons
every week at the lowest estimate, and
his market will extend to every railroad
town in the territory. Mr.. Morford
knows exactly what he is doing and uses
no idle expressions.

Job Printing From The East.

JOD Prtnt1ng from Ih0 East
Chronicle: A job printing firm of Ohio
has this week flooded Bozeman with its
circulars and samples Of job work. A.
mong the number we notice several from
Montana towns, one especially that attracts
our attention. 1t is for a firm doing bus
mess in small town, that attemps to
support daily paper with II good job at
tachment. For twenty cents, which rep
resents the difference in the price of work
done at home and the work and postage
of the Ohio outfit, this merchant sends his
money several thousand miles away from
the town to which he looks for support,
and whose citizens and their paper have
given him a very important and will pay
ing Office. This Ohio printing office
hires, probably, one or more job
printers at $40 per week to set the
type, the remainder of the work is
done by girls and boys at 81 and So per
week. At the first glance the merchant
IS made to believe that the work is much
cheaper than he can get it done for at
home. He forgets to add the postage or
express charges; he forgets that his home
Office needs every cents worth Of patron
age; he forgets that great deal of his
patronage is due to the home paper.
Truly the newspaper man is the worst
used Of any being in existence. He is
to sit up nights and write up the
advantages of his town, his compensation
is nominal, he never gets rich; he is kick
ed if he ens, and never praised when he
is in the right. His is not an enviable
life, even if he does occasionally obtain a |
free ticket to church festival after giving

KILLING POWER OF BULLETS.

bullets fired under various conditions. lie
says
