The Benton people should muZZle the
Boomer. 1t is doing their town untold
injury, and giving them nothing in re-
turn.
There is no question but that the Mon
tana Central railroad will be built down
the Missouri river from the mouth of the
mouth of the canyon. Enough is already
in the possession of Il select few to estab-
lish this feet beyond the shadow of doubt.
the river will be crossed at a point near
the head of Chestnut valley, and then fol-
low down the east side to this place.
This will not be done however, unless alb
s~olutely necessary. Should the road fol-
low down the west side, the river will be
crossed either at a point near Dexter's
Both sites We're examined by Col. Dodge,
and | understand he expressed himself as
being satisfied with either.
A grand rush will be made to Great
Falls the present and coming
year from every quarter of the United
States. 10 new town in the Northwest
is more widely advertised, and nom more
favorably regarded by people everywhere
/ predict Great Falls will have 1000 in
habitants November 1, 1886. This pre-
diction will be backed by a new hat.
Many improvements will be made at
Great Falls the present year, which will
call for the expenditure of a large sum of
money, and give employment to a large
number of laborers.
1t is only a wonder that there is not
more lawlessness in Great Falls than
there is. Without any peace officer other
than a justice, there is every opportunity
for any wild and wolly terror to turn
| himself loose and run the town.

Arthur Y. Abbott, in Frank Leslie's
monthly, (for March, gives at some
length the progress of the Panama
canal under the indefatigable Nj. de
Lesseps. Notwithstanding the many
acknowledgements before him he
pushes matters with a vim that shows
great faith in the project. He has
lately persuaded a number of capt.
alists from Europe and America to
Panama in order to satisfy the world
of its completion in 1888. With plen-
ty OF money and laborers this great
work will be accomplished within e few
years at most. 1t Is hoped the pro-
ject of this great undertaking maylive
to sail through this canal from ocean
to ocean. The name of NJ. de Lesseps
should last as long as a page of histo
ry remains, and be as familiar to
every student as the names of the il
lustrious George Washington or Hen
ry w. L%ongfellow.
The most formidable rivals and adj
versaries of the de Lesseps canal are
the very suspicious undertakings Of
the ~ship-railway across the isthmus
by Capt. Eads, and the American
| plan of q 9 canal through the neck
by way of Nicaragua lake. The ques-
ton of the day seems to be, will they
all prove a failure? or all sink into
obliv1on7 We could much easier be-
lieve the former than the latter. The
names of Eads. famous for opening
the mouth of the Mississippi river,
and de Lesseps of Suez fame are not
to. be sneered at,

the immediate construction of a rail

Alaska is now claiming the atten-

once spoken of as the far west. But
Alaska is the only country left that
can rightly claim this title to-day.

to be purchased from Russia by our

was much said against such a pur-

to find its worth. Its seal fisheries
alone will soon, if not already, pay for
what it cost rs. Besides the wealth
obtained in the fisheries Of salmon,
herring. coal, etc, there is the Yukon
river, 5000 miles long and discharg-
ing more water than the Mississippi
gold and silver mines all of which
tell of its great worth to Us already to
say nothing of the future develop
ments of the country.

RIPRAP.

There is experimentation of another
rebellion in the Northwest Territory
at the approach of spring. What few
settlers there are in this portion OF
Canada seem to be greatly dissatisf-
ed from some cause. Whether their
motives are altogether pure or not one
cannot satisfactorily determine. But
one thing Is certain, that, if there is
another break make by settlers. and
Indians combined. it will in eyery-way
exceed the one of last season. Riel
has been hung, but the end is not yet.
It is limited that the Priests III this sec
ton are lending their influence to-
ward this end. The red man, too, is
quite anxious to have his knife and
tomahawk frightened, and his lost
reputation revived. Could there be
such a thing as a general cooperation
among all the Indian tribes in this
uprising? and, if SO, would it not be
felt by all, far and near? Dumout,
Riel's right hand man last year, lives
near Billings, M. T., and has recently
been visited by six Cree Indians.
What for? Wait and see.

DISASTER IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Four Men Killed and Five Injured, Two
of Whom are Likely to Join the List of
the Dead.
A sad disaster occurred at Minneapolis
Wednesday the 9TH inst. In pursuance Ola
determination recently formed, George A.
Bracket was engaged in the enlargement OF
the main block by building an addition on
Second street, which was to nearly
double the width Of the block. In
pursuance Of the plan, a twO-stOry brick
adjoining had been taken down. The eX
cavatiOn for the addition on the south
e~asterly side had been nearly completed,
and a portion OF the sonth wall OF the
main building had been removed while a
considerable portion OF the brick and
other material was piled on the
several floors OF the main block, so
as TO be convenient foruse. The floors were
supported by retaining walls II two
parallel rows Of wooden posts resting upon
large square timbers, running from the
front to the e Of the building. f.. Ander-
son, who had the contract for the excaVa-
ton or grading, had eleven men in his en-
ploy, and twenty-one were employed by
w. j. Larkin, who was taking down the
wall. Shortly after 2 o'clock some OF
the men heard an omlnOus cracking
OF timbers in the main building,
anu MI AuuGISOH - TIC" ouONSCNCN III lAt'h
ing their escape. They had barely left the
excavation when the whole interior OF the
large block, with the exception OF a com
paratively narrow strip OF thefoors Onthe
First avenue side, fell outward into the ex-
cavation with a tremendous crash, a blind
ing cloud OF dust arising from the mass OF
broken timbers, floors and briCkwOrk pre-
cipitated into the excavation. Those in
the vicinity at the time were appalled, by
the unexpected catastrophe, but the cries
OF wounded men from the depths OF
the wreck recalled them to the necessity
of immediate action. Fire alarms were
sounded and in q few minutes several
companies OF ffremen and the patrol wag-
ons had reached the scene prepared to
render every assistance.
A large crew Of men, mainly tiremen, i'm
mediately commenced the painful work OF
removing the wood, stone and brick which
covered the spot where it was supposed the
workmen had met t~heirdeath. The extent
of the undertaking was such as to necessi-
tate the most heroic efforts. and after
working several hours the following was
found to be the victims:
The dead: John Vanish, James Council,
W. Mason, Hans Peterson. The injured:
J. Simmons, John Carlson, Robert Aver
son, B. Swanson, Patrick Dufure.

Judge Pardee, of the United States
Circuit Court for the Northern Dis
trict of Texas, in the Matter of Hig-
gins and Others, persons charged with
unlawful interference with the officers
and property of the Texas & Pacific
Railway Company, says: Labor or
CARNATIONS are lawful and generally
laudable associations, but they have
no legal status or authority and stand
before men and the law on no better
footing than other social organiza-
tions, and it is preposterous that
they should attempt to issue orders
that free men are bound to obey; and
no man car stand in acourt of justice
and shelter himself behind any such
organization from the consequence OF
his own unlawful acts"

1t is a crying shame that an extra

made to prevent the harboring OF
thieves from this country in Canada.
In the case of the New York Aldermen
who are under Indictment for selling
themselves to Jacob Sharp the Do
minion is likely to save many of them
from punishment, and some are al

probably represents only a fraction OF
the average amount received from

pay it for their liberty.
