Failure at Livingston.

Early in the week rumor prevailed
here that the firm Of Merrill Bros, Of
Livingston, had gone under but As
the information wss not sufficiently
explicit we refrained from giving it
publicity. IL appears, however, that
the report was true, the details being
given in telegram from Livingston
as follows: 1.-The stock Of Merrill

caps, gents and ladies' furnishing
goods, is in the hands Of Dan l.. Will

Bad for the Ranchsr.

Owing to the dry weather that we
are experiencing this fall the farmer
will be unable to do anything toward
the cultivation Of his ground until
next spring. The ground is too hard
to plow in most instances, and even
where the soil is of that loose nature
which at no time will offer much re-
sistance to the efforts Of man, the to-
lack of moisture would render the
work perfectly useless. This will Of
necessity have the effect Of decreasing
the grain supply, and We all know
that the scarcity of an article will at
all times tend to raise its price. The
farmers stock will therefore be fed
Just what grain he is able to buy,
which in the case Of most farmers in
this country is decidedly small
quantity. When farmer cannot
raise enough feed to support the stock
that is required to attend to his land
would it not be well to try some other
business? This same land las rule
fenced I'M which is doing no one any
material good, would, IL thrown open,
be In most cases benefit TO the public
at large, even II il afforded uo other
advantage than a good opening to
water for stock.

An Able ard Business-Like Docume

An Able and Business-Like Document.
The Governors first report to the
secretary OF the interior is lengthy
document, and Us it is mainly statis-
teal the salient points of it are briefed
as follows: The property assessment
Of the territory is given as 1885,
0O7.9l, an increase of 5000 900 over
that pf 1854. As to the population Of
the territory, no census has been taken
since 1850, when ii was returned Us
80, 49,, but on Il basis of the vote of
1854 the Governor estimates it to be
from lOO, 900 to 10000 now.
In regard to agriculture 1t is ob.
served that where proper facilities for
irrigation exit, the valleys are fertile,
but the high price of labor and the
great distance from markets has oprr-
ated "a bar TO competition with the
grain fields to the east and west of us
and nothing more has been attempted
10y our formers than to supply the
home demand. The Indian question
Is handled in the right view, and the
attention Of the secretary called to the
depredaliOns of rowing reservation In
diaDs who have killed cattle in lieu
OF game where the latter did not exist,
and run off horses, to such an extent
that the cattle men are greatly and
justly eXasperated. The Governor re-
news the requests Of his predecessors
that some action be taken to confine
the Indians 10 their reservations
(which embrace an empire Of the
fairest and best portions of the terri
tory from which the whites are rigidly
excluded" The three reservations in
the territory embrace an area of A., 600
square miles or 80, 1000, 900 acres of the
fairest lands to be found on the CONT
nent. The Governor earnestly urges
the necessity Of cutting these down
to a size commensurate with the
needs of the Indians. He recon-
mends the opening of the reserva-
tions for settlement or sale, the
breaking up Of the tribal relations,
and the setting apart of portion of
the proceeds OF the lands for the bene-
fit of the Indians during the period
Of education aud civilization. such
policy would be charity to the In
dians and result in furnishing homes
to hundreds Of thousands of our own
race, beside furnishing the world with
over million cattle which would and
could be grazed on these lands"
Stock raising is treated as next to
mining, the largest industry Of the
territory. 1t is estimated that there
are now in the territory:

celebration on the frontier:
II was a holiday in the tGSn of
Prince when Mayor Steepuls came in
from a more eastern town with a young
and blushing bride. Business was sus-
pended save in the bar-room: the fire
engine was washed and the braS-es
frightened. Some American flags had
been extemporized and a band of the
village, consisting of two drums and
cornet, turned out to do honor 10 the
advent. Two chairs had been rugged
on the engine, one on each side OF the
air-chamber, for the bride and groom.

The fashion of bridesmaids has gone

The sister, or one bridesmaid. stands
near her ct the altar-rail. and kneels
with her and the bridegroom. As also

his bride from the hand of her father or
