THAT ROAD.

The question of e2tahlishing lie
road from Great Falls to Tort Ben
Ton via Bulisheal station, which has
been hanging ire al summer, and for
purely sectional strife has been stub
bornly opposed, and carried over
from Il meeting to another on some
trivial pretext, until the last meeting,
when the fairness and justice Of the
petition was acknowledged by two Of
the commissioners who voted YES"
and the measure was carried, as it
should have been when first present
ed. lIr. Wetzel, chairman Of the
board, flied the following plausible
reasons why the road should be estab-
lizhed:
1st. For the reason that during
two and q half terms Of service as
county commissioner | have never
e a petition signed by SO many
good citizens and tax payers.
"a. Because the road as now view
ed and reported is the shortest, best
watered and more easily Travelled in
all seasons Of the year than any other
road Leading from Fort Benton to
Great Falls. With an expenditure
of $3.50 it viii be much easier for
freight teams or light wagons than
any u Of five roads Of the same
length leading out Of this place.
81. Because it VIII benefit a great
CT number Of people than many other
roads, viz: Che people living on the
upper Missouri above the falls, Sand
Coulee, Great Falls and vicinity.
18th. Having carefully examined
the proposed road, [ am Of the opin-
ion it cannot be shortened advantage
eously,
Lastly. That it is my duty to those
who elected me to serve them consci-
e%ntiously and justly, as [ believe I
am doing in this case.

TEERE is said to be some founda-
uoa to the ruGlor that the Canadian
Pacific company are seriously consid-
ering The ACCESSIBILITY Of constructing
a branch road to tap this portion of
Montana. That the road would pay
handsomely there is 10 doubt, and We
believe the company is cognizant Of
the fact, and but for the general de-
preston, would ere this, have made a
move in this direction. The late John
herler, Of Sun River, q man who had
travelled extensively over northern
Montana, and who was a practical
engineer and & close observer, told
the writer Of this, that a road by fol
lowing the Muddy, would find a nat
ural road-bed from the boundary to
the Sun river valley, traversing the
best portion Of the country i~nterven-
ing. When the company decide to
build, it might be advisable for them
to instruct their engineers to look
over this route.

The mysterious disappearance last
spring Of Fl. NJ. Horton, assignee of
Martin Emigh, has never been clear
ed UP, and his whereabouts from that
time is involved in mystery. It has
been rulnored for some time that
Horton was probably murdered here
and his body thrown into the Missou-
la river. There is some evidence to
back up this theory, but it is not our
purpose to direct the least suspicion
toward anyone, and the sitting of the
mo must be made by others, if at
all. The report that Horton fled to
Miles City, thence to the Canadian
Pacific and afterwards to Farwell, is
believed to be entirely mythical

IT is not out of place to republish
the Herald's brief report Of Professor
Newbury's examination Of the coun-
try around Great Falls, nearly one
year ago. Coming from SO emminent
a source, the report has attracted
much attention, especially in the
East:
prof. J. S. Newbury, Of the Col
umbia School Of Mines, Now York,
has arrived in the city from a trip
through the northern part Of Mon
tana. His special object was to make
an examination Of the coal fields near
the falls of the Missouri and the min
ing districts Of the Belt range. He
speaks in the highest terms Of the
beauty, fertility and mineral resources,
OF the country about the Falls, and
after spending many years exploring
Western America. in which he has
traversed by different routes all the
states and territories west of the Mis-
sippi, he says he has e e no country
which, IN grandeur, variety Of surface
and agricultural aud mineral O
ces, surpasses Montana, and particu-
larly that portion be has recently Wis
tied. The falls Of the Missouri sur
passes his expectations in beauty,
and economically are still more at
tractive, for they furnish an amount
Of accessible and conveniently dis
tributed water power greater than
can be found in any other part Of the
continent, and perhaps the world.
"The adjacent coal fields are extern
slve, the coal of good quality, some Of
it making good coke, the beds regular
and very convenient for mining, and
from five to eighteen feet in thick
ness. When opened up and reached
by railroads this and the coal field
lying further north on the Milk river
cannot fail to contribute vastly to the
prosperity Of the splendid agricultur-
al and generally timberless country
which surrounds them"

FROM Smalley's biography Of Gov

FROM Smalley's biography Of Gov
ernor Hauser, we extract the follow
ing:
in 1864 Dir. Hauser helped to raise
money to pay the expenses Of a dele
cation to v ashington to urge upon
Congress the division Of idaho, and
the establishment Of a new territory
east Of the Bitter Root mountains.
He went as one Of the delegates in
company with Col. Sanders and
Judge Edgerton. They wer success
ful in their mission and the territory
Of Montana was established. While
in the east Mr.. Hauser raised a little
money to start a bank with in Tir-
ginia City, then the chief town Of The
territory. This was the beginning Of
his career as q banker. In 1865 be OF
gained the st. Louis and Montana
mining company, and erected the first
smelter in the territory, Oh Ial5lo-
snake creek, at the town OF Ar~ania.
In 1866 the same company erected
the first silver mill in Montana, al

NO.. 25.
In the Hands OF the Sheriff.
From the Grecnvillc News, March o.

For several days general attention has
been attracted to the Campcrdown Mills
by the action of the stockholders, and,
as usual in such cases, large number
and variety Of stories have been circu-
lated. 1t will be remembered that at
the meeting Of stockholders held in
January it was decided to order a sale Of
Mill No. l to pay off pressing debts Of
the company and the mill was duly adj
vcrtisrd to be sold at auction on the
] lth Of this month. On the 5th instant
u notice was published declaring the
sale to be indefinitely postponed, that
action having been taken, as was cx-
planned at the time, in consequence Of
the threat Of interested parties to apply
for an injunction against the sale and
ask for the appointment Of a receiver for
the property. Notwithstanding the
publication Of this notice, and on the
very day of its appearance, al order was
received from Judge PRESLEY. at Andcr-
son.! temporarily rcstaining the sale Of
the lower mill, application for it having
beqns made by certain stockholders Of
EthiS city and elsewhere. This order
was seryed on the officers Of the compa-
ny Fytsterday. AS soon as it became
known attachments wcac applied for by
| creditors here and were issued. The
claims representGaSby these attachments
are to ~lha alnonntofShout $37, 900, and
are for money atFSAnsSM, ST'fhc -,tttttaeh= -,ttttaeeh=-
mcnts cover all the Stockton. hand, ma
| chncry and other pr6FfflY o thc mill,
and were served by the sErsR$Sy
- 1t is understood that the &tfac chments
were obtained simply 'f6r the Purpose of
preventing, any action that might cause
loss to Stockholders and creditors, and
| especially to Mevcnt the shipment Of
| stock on-hand until some definite ad-
jmstnteaI df affairs has been made. The
fprescrtj stock Of yarns here is roughly
| estilnatc,l to be worth $4,000, and more
is in the hands Of agents Mt the North.
Before the attachments were obtained it
would have been in the power Of the
officers and agents of tho company Mt
the North to order the shipment of the
entire stock beyond the jurisdiction Of
| our Courts and leave creditors here de-
prived of much Of their security. No
| body knows what the next move will be.
The attachments will hold all the prop
erty mere until something is done one
way or the other. and it is likely that
some general and harmonious action will
| be taken by the resident and non.resi-
dent creditors and stockholders to ad-
Just the company's business and settle
the existing complications.
or Course the running or shutting
down of the mills is the subject Of first
interest and importance to the great
maj ority of people here. AS matters
stand at present, there is no way to OBJ
tain cotton. Mill No. l, the old mill,
was shut down last night. the supply of
the staple having been exhausted. The
mill will run, almost certainly, until
the present supply Of Gotten is run
through, period Of probably two
weeks. Whether it will be continued
after that depends on the action of the
creditors and stockholders at the North.
