OKLAHOMA CATTLEMEN.

The Stockmen Being Informed of the
Advance Of the Troops Move Their
Ranches over on the Kiowae Reserva-
tion.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, March 28.-Gen-
eral Hatch, who has been absent from the
seat of the Oklahoma war for three days,
returned Thursday forenoon, and at once
called consultation with Major Benteen,
who had come up from the main camp on
ChilicOo Creek A courier came in later
with the information that when the COM
pany of cavalry which was sent from Camp
Russell to destroy the ranches of Burke and
Martin, reached the Cimarron River
1t was found that the stockmen
had been forewarned of what was
coming, and had taken down both their
houses and carried them to the south side Of
the river, and had also driven their stock
across and were on the Kiowa Indian reser-
walton. This reservation has been leased by
the Kiowa Indians TO some cattlemen, with
whom Burke and Martin had made arrange
ments permitting them to hold their cattle
thereon for few days at least. This reser-
walton is outside of the Oklahoma lands. but
is so close to them, with only small stream
intervening, that the move of the Burke and
Martin people, while thus getting outside Of
military interference allows them to use the
Oklahoma lands for grazing purposes
The boomers say General Hatch and the
enemies of the Oklahoma movement have
claimed all along that there were no cattle
in Oklahoma, and yet In the face Of this,
General Hatch now sends troops into Okla
homa with orders to drive out certain men
who have been holding ranches there for
years, and of whose presence General Hatch
should have known, but only half does 1t,
as there are at least dozen more cattle firms
still there, among them the Wyeth Cattle
Company, the Mcclellan Cattle Company,
Howard & Titus, II. b. Campbell, Ben
Keith and Others.
These men claim to hold their cattle on
the Cherokee Strip, where they have large
leases, but there are no fences between this
strip and Oklahoma, and the cattle roam at
will. The owners claim that their stock may
drift into Oklahoma during the winter. but
this could not be prevented. One large
owner says some of his cattle have
drifted as far south as the Red River.
General Weaver, of Iowa, who is in
Washington, telegraphed to Captain
Couch, IN command of the boomers now
here, that he had called upon the Secretary
of the Interior and President Cleveland, and
II was believed he would appoint the Okla
homa Commission In pursuance to the re-
cent act of Congress. II is thought here
that this commission has already been de-
cided upon and that II will consist of Sena-
tors Dawes, of Mississippi; Morgan, Of Ala
bama, and Ingalls,, of Kansas.

The Considerations.

In the selection of carpets and wall paper
variety and elegance of styles and low

mand the attention of intelligent buyers

less its extent Of business enables 1t to pur'
chase in quantities large enough to secure
them. We have received our new stock,

which vou will not find elsewhere in the

GLENDALE GATHERINGS.

The cashier Of the Hecla Co. paid off on
the o5th inst. 100000 for the month Of
June.
Charcoal is now coming in at the rate of
1000 bushels daily, and the surplus stock
is consequently increasing.
Mrs. E. w. Nash and two daughters, of
Omaha, are visiting Mrs. Knippenberg.
Mr.. Nash is expected in Glendale next
week.
Chas. r. kappes, assistant general man.
ager Of the Hecla Co., resigned on the 10th

ty.six in number, held grand picnic on
Canyon Creek last Sunday. 1t was time
long to be remembered
The Hecla saw.mill will be put in oper-
alton in few days up Trapper Gulch.
Some 100000 feet of lumber is needed for
sundry improvements about Lion City.
McLain Il Mccoy have now eighteen
charcoal kilns up and fired. They expect

large majority Of the leading men of
both parties in Trapper Gulch.
The Hecla furnaces are turning out
about six tons OF bullion daily, and not two
car loads, as some foolish correspondent of
the Helena independent has stated. The
company is struggling hard to make ex-
penses, and, unless the grade of ore inn
proves soon, may consider the matter Of
closing down the works.

THE HECLA COMPANY.

II is the object of the TRIBUNE to COR
rectly report the standing of every legiti.
mate mining enterprise in Beaverhead
County and throughout Southern Mon.
tana and Eastern Idaho We have fire..
quently alluded to and reported the work
ing operations Of the Hecla Consolidated
Mining Co. Of Glendale. The Hecla cor.
poration sustains considerable proportion
Of the population Of this county, directly
and indirectly, and there are few Of our
citizens who fully realize or appreciate the
value Of this large mining enterprise to
this county. Its disbursements are large.
During the past fifty-one months Mr..
knippenberg, General Manager Of the
Hecla Co., has paid out in Glendale to EN-.
ployees the enormous sum- Of $2,5so,ooo
making nearly $4,000 in cash every day.
This amount does not include what has
been paid to the Union Pacific Railway
Co. ior freight on bullion. This large out
lay benefits the ranchmen and producers OF
the county. The company has been no
burden on the county for in searching the
court records we find that it has in no
way been an expense to the county, as the
company has during the present manage.

the largest taxpayer in Beaverhead Coun.

Of collecting the county poor and road tax
from its employees, and also in maintain.
ing the Hecla hospital at cost Of over
$4,000 year, which, if given up would be
heavy expense to the county. With this
showing we think the time has come when
the citizens Of the county should cease to
manifest all sectional hostility toward the
company. 1t would be blessing to Bea.
verhead County if we had dozen more
such mining enterprises in constant opera.

would be largely augmented and all kinds
Of property enhanced in value.

THE LOCAL PAPER.

The New York World truthfully says:
The local paper is the best read paper in
the world. All the city papers can not
supply the place Of the home paper. No
other contains the marriages, births and
deaths; no other relates the things happen
ing before the doors Of the town people
no other paper gives the time of the next
ball, picnic, or political meeting; no other
publishes town school matters; no other
discusses the affairs Of the town or county,
or gives in detail the local news which can
not be obtained from any other source.
Everybody reads it and that is why it Is
the best paper in the world.
