it will be only a short time until it will all
be taken up and farmed.

About one year since, Mr. Kennedy,
father of Will Kennedy of this place,
visited Montana, and brought with him
two hives of bees which were the first
ever brought into northern Montana, and
at the time considerable interest was taken
in their arrival and the probable outcome
of the experiment. That it was success
full, and highly so, no n will doubt af-
ter hearing from Charley Roth, Of Nine
Mile c%oulee, into whose possession the
bees finally came. Charley says one hive
he lost completely during the winter
and of the other he saved but the
queen. What to do for a queen
was a puzzler which he could not solve.
He had plenty of common, everyday
bees, but the head of the family was only
wanted to prove the success Of bee cul-
ture in northern Montana, and this most
important fact, prompted Charley to try
an experiment, which, happily proved
successful. He captured a mammoth
sized horse-fy and introduced it into the
hive as a queen-bird, and the common,
everyday bees did not tumble to the i'm
position, but wen faithfully to work, and
under the horsefy have stored up an i'm
mense amount of sweetness. 1t is to be
hoped that this experiment will be fol
lowed by others, which will utilize the
house-hies and mosquitoes. This is truly
a progressive age.

SUCCESSFUL WE'LL BORING.

Several parties are watching anxiously
the result of the artesian we'll boring at
M. Rolfe's place at Great Falls. Should
NJ. Speer succeed in getting water at a
distance of from 100 to 400 feet it will
work a revolution in agriculture in north
ern Montana and there will be no ques-
ton as to the fitness of tne bench lands
for any and all kinds of grain.-Press.
The Press is in error regarding the ar
tesian part Of the above, as all that was
desired was water, which was found in
such quantity at the depth Of sixty-iye
feet as to fill the we'll within twenty-five
feet Of the suface. The evident existence
of a strong vein of water on the high
bench lands at the depth of sixty-ive
feet practically solves the problem of IL
rigation. if, indeed, it is found necessary
to irrigatc at all in order to grow grain
upon them.

HELENA AND GREAT FALLS.

The communication by railroad and
steamboat between Helena and Great
Falls Will be proportionally like that be-
tween Reading, Berks county, Pennsyl-
vania, and Philadelphia; the one the ship
ping point for nearly al! the coal in the
anthracite region and the other the great
depot and market from which the article
is r%eshipped by water and rail to every
part of the world. Taking it for granted
that the Sand Coulee coal deposit is prac-
tically inexhaustible, and that communi-
cation between Helena and Great Falls
can be made in n day by only twelve
miles of railroad and a free river, the
comparison between our two Montana
towns and those Of Pennsylvania may be
readily recogized. Helena will be a great
market for the Sand Coulee coal and the
distributing point. like Philadelphia, for
the vast quantities of this excellent fuel
to all parts of Montana. 1t will be read
lily seen whata city will be made of Great
Falls when the project of making that
place the Lackawana Of Montana and con-
meeting it by rail and steamboat with
Helena is carried out. This subject can
not be agitated too much, nor can too
great consequence be attached to the sub
ject Of supplying Helena with cheap fuel.

On Saturday last a detachment Of U. s..

at the Flathead agency. The detachment
was under charge of Lieut.. Hill, of the

ing party traversed the mountain regions

after resting over Sunday at the Flathead

great, owing to ourlong winters, and this,
in itself, would soon denude our noun
tain forests. Montanians must learn to
use coal for fuel purposes entirely, and
tary should, and probably will be modi-
ged somewhat, but [ think he will enforce
that part regarding the cutting of timber
for fuel purposes. Should he do this, the
famous Sand Coules coal field will come
into prominence and will supply the Ter
ritory with fuel. This matter is worthy
of consideration, and before the time ar
riyes when it will be found absolutely
necessary, it might be wise to make d
move looking toward connecting by rail
this coal fed with other sections of the
Territory where coal is not found.
At the recent annual meeting of the
National Tanners association notice that
they estimate the annual loss on cattle
hides from the range countries at about
$4,000, O00, which is caused by the brands,
which are some times S large as to rem
der the hide worthless. They appointed
a committee to confer with stock a~ssocia-
tons, and to suggest the adyisability of
using a smaller brand for the marking of
their stock. | hopescattle men will act
upon the suggestion of the tanners. 1t is
not only money in their pockets, but it
would be an act of humanity.
1t is noticeable that every stranger that
has visited Great Falls this summer has
been agreeably surprised at the marked
advantages it possesses and the varied re-
sources which surround it, which can and
will be developed, and which are bound
to be important factors in its growth and
will contribute materially to its future
wealth and importance. Great Falls has
suficientresource surrounding it to-day to
make it one of the most important cen
ters in the Territory, but with the energy,
enterprise and unlimited wealth which
is behind all this will eventually make it
the foremost city of the great northwest.
This is not idle and visionary bosh, but is
the truth, all wool and a yard wide, as |
am satisfied the future will verify.

The Overflow In the Lower nrazos

CALVERT, May 3l.-LCorrespondence.l-
The high water reported from Waco
and north of that city has reached this
section of country, and the destruction
Of crops is terrible. Capt. Dalton's
plantation, eight miles northwest of this
place is two-thirds submerged, and
some cotton on his place is
ID feet under water, and all
plantations between the Brazos river
are more or less inundated.
The Little BrazOs river has reached
the top Of the railing of the bridge west
OF this place, AVID still rising at the rate
OF an inch per hour. The cause of Little
Brazos being so high is from water run
ming from Big Brazos across tho planta-
ton OF Or. Hammond. Information
from the bottom near Hearne Is that the
crops and plantations are In worse
condition than near this place, and also
that all renters have moved their cattle
and household goods to a dryer quarter,
as all the bottom lands in that section
are una0r water ranging IRON the
depth o. inches to fifteen feet A late
dispatch from Waco that the river is
railing rapidly has caused some to feel
that toe worst is over, aud some hopes
are entertained that some Of tho crops
