RESOLVED, That we will ride to- the
animals CT those who Feed, mount and pay
us, with an eye single to the safety Of the
herd.
That we>will not elbow in" the wages
paid u, but rather let them accumulate
that we may be able some day to hire
others instead Of being hired.
That We will begin the year of our
Lord, 1886, TO punish a very small
amount of 81 liquor, in order that the
preceding resolution may be properly
carried into eject.
That We will not drop our "wad'' on the
festive pony, and that our sbuckings''
against the tiger shall be seldom anu

That We do not expect to make angles
Of ourselves in Il snort year, but that We
do not aspire to BE bad men and that the
decorating Of small towns shall lot be in
our line Of business this year.
The above is offered BY the StockgroW-

In the golden circle Of near friends,

empire OF the north, which contains
the greatest mining dist let in t e
world, the greatest natural pastures
and all the elements to make unaidai
a perfect home for q great people.
We have no data t. give figures from

duet Of wealth and 8 greater Increase
in people than any other Territory.
It ought to be given statehood. It is
perfectly able TO support an econom-
zeal state government; its steady in
crease in wealth aud power is as
certain as the onward professions Of
the stars; its interests I so great
that it isuniust to keep the territory
a mere dependency Of congress. Il is
democratic, and It would be a happy
compromise TO extend statehood TO
both Montana and Dakota. The
completion OF the Canadian Pacific
railroad hat been the means Of open

in the great northwest profitable, and
the sentiment now seems to be crys-

the grass grows sweetest under the

choicest from any Of the natural

Condition Of Stock.

The remarkable fine condition Of cattle
and sheep between this point and the
boundary line, says tie Choteau Calumet,
is attracting universal attention. II. W.
krause, who recently passed over the
ranges Ell route to TIE Northern border,
writes t. a friend q glowing description
of the fat, sleek and risky condition Of
animals seen Oh the road. This is the
dead of winter says Mr.. krause, "but
from the appearance OF the tlocks and
herds, one would imagine that fall was
approaching. Among other items in the
letter We quote the following: Thirteen
miles from Choteau. at the crossing Of
the Muddy, is Ed. Byman's well-known
sheep ranch. Three miles from this point
the Byman Brothers have n OF the larg-
est and finest bands OF sheep in Northern
Montana. A finer flock | have never seen
at any time Of the year or in any part of
the Territory"

Poisoned Stock in December.

Town Talk: Il. c. Pond of Martins
dale in the Musselshell valley, wrote his
father in this city, that within the past
month he has suffered soma loss in his
band Of sheep from poison weed, which,
under the influence Of the remarkable
warm weather that has prevailed il that
region as we'll rs elsewhere in Montana,
sprang up in a second green growth 50
late il tie year as December.
Loss Of Montana stock from poison af-
ter early summer is so unusual as to call
for mention. That it has occurred 50 late
as December is another feature of the I'M
precedentedly mild winter that has pre-
vailed throughout Montana up to this
date

New Townsite Company.

A company composed of a number of
representative eastern and western gentle
men have incorporated under the name
Of the Great Falls Improvement compa-
ny, with a capital Of g. 100000. They
have acquired some land along the north
side of the Missouri river about ten miles
below the town Of Great Falls. In their
prospectus they state that they propose to
make extensive Improvements on the Wa
ter power at the Great falls, lay out a
townsite, erect q hotel and make such
other improvements as may be found
necessary. Judging from the positions
held by the incorporators, the company
is evidently 4 strong one.

Crow Roster.

In conversation "ith a representative
of the the Stockgrowers journal, Mr..
Armstrong, late agent Of the Grow lndi-
dams, says they now number about 5000,
divided into $50 families. They have 1G5
farms, each farm supposed to contain five
acres, hut do not in reality contain so
much generally. The Indian bucks, as
from time immemorial, are ayerse to
work, thinking it beneath the dignity OF
q warrior or hunter to engage in labor,
which, according to their ideas, is only
intended for squaws, The squaws them
selves are Of the opinion that it is their
duty to Go all the work, and that it is the
province OF the bucks to hunt, etc. 1t is
safe to say that the buck who is induced
By the agent TO work IS not at all popular
with the dark-eyed maidens Of the forest.
He is degraded in their sight.

Great Falls derives an important ad-
vantage from its location at the head OF
the Missouri falls, and the foot of the
Long Pool. The reef Of rocks which ex
tends across the Missouri, about half q
mile below the mouth of Sun river, forms
IA natural dam which slackeus or deadens
the flow Of water for fifty miles above the
head of the falls. This stretch Of fifty
mileg, extending to the Chestnut valley,
is called the Long Pool, and is one of the
finest pieces of navigable river in the
world. This portion Of the river flows
through a fertile valley capable OF pro-
ducing two million bushels Of wheat.
The Pool is SO deep and quiet IL its flow
that steamboats, of large tonnage can be
operated upon it for eight months IN the
year, thus affording cheap transportation
for grain to Great Falls. This is not all,
for as this navigable water extends up to
the Great canyon OF the Belt mountains,
cheap transportation can always b" al
forded for the ores of that range to the
smeltefs at Great Falls. Ii these mount
aims, and near to this navigable water, are
found the richest magnetic iron ores
which will form the proper mixture with
the iron ores OF Sand Coulee. As Great
Falls Increases in population and manu-
factories, the great value Of this navigable
water will become more apparent. 1t Will
forever insure cheap transportation to the
Missouri falls from one Of the most i'm
portant sections Of Montana.

the three Forks aud the mouth OF the
Dearborn. So far as the Missouri
river is concerned, this reservation
can only partially accomplish the
object sought for, namely the main
tainance Of the river as it now is.
The a~dyisability OF preserving the
forests il which ALL the tributaries of
this great river take their source,
cannot be questioned, and yet before
legislatlng upon the subject tie
whole. situation should be carefully
considered Is it necessary that the
great mineral resources CT the Rocky
mountains should remain forever IN
developed in order that the SHOWS may
yield their supply to the rivers grada-
ally Cannot mines aopened aud ores
be shipped out Of the mountains and
be reduced at convenient points in
the Territory where supplies Of coal
are found, without destroying the
forests?
1Iy experience satisfies matlat fires
create much greater destruction
Of mountain forests, than tie axe Of
the miner CT settler. any one passing
over the ranges Of Montana viii see
that this Obstruction is continually
going on. He will also see that new
forests are constantly spsinsing up.
Forest fire in the mountains general

sufficient evidence that such fires will
continue to devastate the forests CT

In the past. To prevent the mining

extent Of mineral country, should not
BE- done except after the most careful.
and searching examination Of the

Again, the eastern boundary lineof
the proposed reserV alton il adopted,
will entail great hafdships upon the
numerous settlers who have e5tab-
lished theirhomes along the skirts Of
the foothills from the Dearborn to the
Blaclfoot Reservation on the north.
At the head OF the valleys Of the Sun
and Teton rivers, are some ofthe most
thriving towns in Montana.
Should Congress PISS the bill as 1t
now reads, it woula result in great
depreciation Of property in that most
fertile and thrift, county, by com
pletely depriving s%ottlcrs OF a supply
Of timber essential to the maint&ia-
ance Of their homes. II a bill s~ia1ilar
to the one reported must be passed,

A gentleman who rarely INDUCES in
stimulants informs US that there is now
on Dry Fork, near the mouth of Dupuyer
creek a natural curiosity such as is not
often seen even in this land of natural
wonders. 1t consists Of a huge rock in
which q fine family of petrified rattle
snakes are SO firmly and deeply imbedded
that they appear to have been carved
from the stone itself. They retain their
full size and shape and almost their nat
ural colors, the skin having a smooth
transparent surface, through which the
v%ariegated body Of the snake is plainly
visible. One very singular and attractive
feature of this curiosity is, the snakes APP
pear to have been in motion up to the
moment life became extinct. Some are in
= fighting attitude, with coiled bodies,
heads drawn back and mouths open ready
for attack or defense; others appear to be
fleeing from danger, their bodies forming
waves or arches as If in the act of moving
swiftly over the stone, while still others
are so closely interviewer or twisted TO
gether that they resemble small coils of
barbed wire. tleir heads and tails pro-
truding at intervals between the bodies

of the rock have, unfortunately, been

remains to make a valuable curiosity for
