THE STAGE DRIVER.

While we lavish our sympathy upon
those who suffer in person and purse
from the pitiless attacks of the wind,
the wave and the rain, we think the
stage driver should come in for a
share. He must start at the time, re-
gardless Of the weather and must not
cease his endeavor to get the mail and
passengers through on time if posi-
bic, although to do SO he must encoun-
ter pitchy darkness, deep mud, pelt-
ing rain, sweeping blasts Of wind and
dangerous washouts. To him day
and night are the same-lt is only go
ahead till he reaches the end of his
drive and then turn around and 60
back. We fret If the mail be delayed
but the one who has real cause to fret
Is the driver, who is himself delayed
by the almost insurmountably diff
culties through which he is obliged to
force his way. Give the stage driver
friendly greeting.-Ex.

4 DESERTED VILLAGE.

A strange story is told Of the dis
covery in British Columbia, 500 miles
north Of the Little Dalles, of a desert
ed town There are twenty-six stores,
some of them containing goods, two
saloons, one of which contained two
billiard tables, and postoffice CON
tanning letters dated 1856. But there
was no human being in the neighbor-
hood. Old miners say that the story
has foundation, though probably ex-
aggerated. About 1856 gold diggings
were discovered in that locality, land a
considerable town sprang up, only to
be abandoned when the placers play
ed out and a new Eldorado was found
and caused stampede.

A FOREST RESERVE.
Senator Fdmunds Has Presented a
BIZ to Set Aside a Forest
Reserve in Montana.

Senator Edmunds has before the
senate bill to sebsapart forest re-
serve in the northwestern Montana
which, says the Pioneer Press, is SO
wise and necessary that it is almost
too much to hope it will succeed in
getting through both houses of con-
gress It adds:
mo thoughtful man who has watch
ed the steady disappearance of our
forests and studied the effect of their
destruction upon soil, upon climate,
and upon the character of water
cources and the prospects Of agricul-
tnre, can for a moment doubt that
these wasteful generations are prepar-
ing the way for a painful and tedious
period in the future, when it will be-
come necessary to build up by the
processes of nature what has been
recklessly and uselessly torn down.
Not much can be done to stay the
course of destruction, but can be done
should not be emitted. Millions could
not now purchase from the nation
the great Yellowstone Park, whose
wonders would to-day be partly ruin
ed and partly the prey of private
showmen were it not for the act which
set it apart for public purposes forev-
er An act as trifing may now secure
a forest reserve and establish a pre-
cedent for like in the future. The
district included in Montana is emf
nently adapted for this purpose. It
is mountainous, and therefore unfit
for the ordinary operations Of agricul-
ture. It is now practically uninhab-
tied, and no rights will be disturbed.
It lies near the source Of several great
rivers, and may help to keep constant
their water supply. IF, as provided
by the act, no one is permitted under
heavy penalties to live, hunt or lum-
Der there, nature would have one lit
tie tract in all our portion of the con-
tinent to call her own. A similar rule
might be followed pToitably III many
instances where Indian reservations
are opened to settlement. If, when
these embrace suitable tracts, por-
ton were kept as forest reserve
something could be done in practical
aid Of the cause of forestry We earn
estly hope that this may prove to be
somebody's business, that the bill Of
Senator Edmunds may become law,
and that it may be but the prototype
of many to follow, which shall secure
to all time for forestry purposes some
small part of the public domain yet
remaining unappropriated, and
adapted more perfectly to this admir-
able use than to any other.

A PIONEER.

Dr. Hunter, the discoverer Of Hun
ter's Hot springs in Montana, says
the Pioneer Press, who during his
early residence on the frontier had
many encounters with the Indians,
said, while in st. Paul recently, refer
ring to these encounters. that he would
not mind fighting the Indians if they
would only keep quiet. They scared
a white man half to death, he said, by
uttering the most unearthly yells all
the while they were engaged in the
attack. There bullets were generally
harmless, as they were not provided
with the best of rifles for long range,
but their shouts unneryed the white
forces so that their shots were not as
effective as would be the case under
ordinary circumstances. He said you
could always tell when the Indians
had enough fighting, as they would
give their lungs and voice a recess.
When the Indians become quiet an
experienced frontiersman knew that
the attack was over and that the In
dians were preparing to retreat.

THE BIG HOLE PLACERS.

Town Talk: NJ. L. Pratt, one of
the Big Hole placer claimants, has
been in town during a few days past,
He speaks very confidently about the
mines, and says that over 81 per pan
is no unusual result Of prospecting.
His claim is on sGibbon's battle field,
and the placer area is quite large. He
says that no one should come there
this winter, as they can do no work
whatever, and those who might expect
to depend on the camp for a living
through the cold weather would inev-
itably suffer. -
