Montana Letter.

LITTLE PUMPKIN, CUSTER Co., M. T., }
September 9th, 1885.
EDITOR JOURNAL
The summer is over
and autumn has come in the person of
September. The day, the month, and
the season open auspiciOusly. In Mon
tana, at least, autumn is the fairest
and loveliest season of the year. If
the words of Bryant
''The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year, -
are anywhere true it must be of those
sections of the country where the
trees are all stripped of their foliage
and not where pine with its perennial
verdure constitutes the chief back
ground of scenery, and even through
out the East the words of the poet can
only be true of the later days of au-
tumn, for nothing is more bright and
charming than the eolorS of the foil
age when first touched by frosts.
Autumn is the season of in-gather-
ing, when the husbandman realizes
on the labors and hopes of the season.
The present year has been one of Sc
we're and destructive storms all over
the country, but Montana has escaped
wonderfully the most destructive Wis
itations. We have had no cyclones,
cloud-bursts, hail-storms, untimely
snow-storms or drought. The reap
pearance of the devastating grasshOp-
pers at one time filled us with dread
but that danger has passed away with
very little difficulty to the stock
raiSerS.
Our mines are not at the mercy of
the elements and always yield their
rich harvests. Our wool crop has been
immense, exceeding in quantity and
quality that of any former year, and
to those who have not already sold it
promises a better return than any one
dared to hope for in the early part of
the year.
The increase of our flocks and herds
has been splendid throughout the
whole Territory of Montana. Grass,
which is by far our most important
crop, has been better than an average.
Much of it has already been converted
into beef, mutton. and horse-tl5sh.
There will be more hay cut and stack
ed than usual, and there will be plen-
ty to feed the unsheltered stock
through the winter.
We have always noticed, too, that
autumn was not only the busiest sea-
son on the rancho. but in the cities and
towns as well. Building is more act
i've in Miles City than any place else in
Montana at the present time. In
| creasing confidence is manifested.
Money is more plenty and to be had
on easier terms. In anticipation OF
months when no building can be sue
cessfully done every one is trying to
anticipate the wants of the future.
The general feeling is that the
| country has reached the bottom OF
hard times and is at the dawn of a
new era of general prosperity. The
| census returns of the Northwestern
States show that the current of settle
ment is steadily advancing toward us,
and before the new era of prosperity
experiences another check this tide OF
settlement and development will be
upon us and all around us bearing US
on to wealth and Statehood.
Respectfully Yours,
ALBERT V. HUFEY
