The foregoing statistics show conclusively
that the people of Montana are a live and
thoroughgoing people in farming, manutac-
turing anu mining, as well as stock raising.
Progress is the order Of the day.
The patiently awaited chinook has come at
last, and the white robe of winter is fast dis
appearing before the warm southern breeze.
But then We will have more snow, more cold
weather, and more chitoOks before the gentle
smiles of spring time.
The desperadoes confined in the Lewis and
Clarke county Jail tried their hand at escape
the other day, but the plot was discovered in
time to prevent wholesale exit from the
iron cage. There is only one way in which
these desperate fellows can be securely kept
from the outside world; that Is to confine
each man in clay cell 3x6 feet, with wooden
covering aud earth thrown on top.
The new reservation set aside recently in
Eastern Montana for the Cheyenne Indians,
is about thirty miles long by twenty wide
and contains little over 600 square miles,
or about 3S5, 900 acres Of land. There are
exactly 6l0 of these Indians to pro-
vide for, which will give just one
square mile of land 10 each
buck, squaw and pappoose. This is pretty
good allowance of land for each of these
worthless Indians in addition to the full sup
ply OF ratIons, and clothing that the 'best
government on earth" furnishes them, while
the poor white trash have to be content with
100 acres to the male head of each family. II
pays best to be an Indian, and the next best
thing is an Indian agent.

Guy Y. Piatt, the live local OF the Butte
Inter hoUltdiH, who was on the train, gives
the following thrilling account Of the recent
runaway" that occurred on the Northern
Pacific road on the steep, crooked grade on
he east side OF the range at Mullan tunnel:
''The passenger train, delayed one from
the east, did not reach the tunnel until late
IN the night. A great snow storm was
blowing, aud one could not see a dozen feet
from the CIR windows on account Of the wild
storm and drifting snow. Tue snow was
also heavy on the track aud in the cuts it
vas so deep that il was only With great
difficulty that the train could be pulled
through at all. Some conception Of the
situation NAV be formed from the fact that
three MOgul locomotives bad to be attached
10 draw the train up the grade. When about
The top Of the grade and near the mouth Of
tue tunnel. the strain upon the connection
between the baggage car aud the bindmost
locomotive became so great that a
break occurred. and the long line Of
passenger. mail and baggage cars started
back down the Crsde-at first slowly, but
With such rapidly increasing speed that be
fore Rfty rods were covered the unrrs;rained
tain was rushing down the mountain like
Tie wind, rapidly rounding sharp curves,
iashing across trestles over deep gorges, aud
still Increasing in speed at the imminent risk
Of dviuC the track snd rolling down some
steep dccli vity. As soon as could be the
conductor aud his assistants sprang 10 the
hand brakes isir brakes are used when the
locomotive is aitschedl aud piled them as
suddenly a. vas consistent with safety, but
t6e runaway train vas not brought TO stand
SIN until It bad run mile down the noun
tain. No damage vas done, hot the fright
Of tie passengers almost amounted To 4
panic, aud some OF them we're with difficulty
restrained from leaPing from the train"
