and dusty, have had no rain OF any
amount since July l5, 1885, it is about
that season of the year now when we
begin TO have spring rains. This cli-
mate now answers to the description OF
May. Grass has just begun to shoot
forth and ere long the earth will be
clothed IN everlasting verdure. Every
one here are busy with their Spring
work. Gen. West is having the farming
pushed as rapidly as the weather will
permit. At this writing all sowing of
wheat and oats is complete at the Agency,
and school alone, having sown near 60
acres. Have over 20 acres broken for
corn, running from 2 to 8 plows every
day. The Agents plan is to push work
aud not let work push him.
Every one lie anxiously expecting Mrs.
West and party. Gen. West, while on
bis way to meet Mrs. West at Glendive,
missed bis way and last report had him
40 miles out of the way. We think be
will 6nd it long, lonesome drive if
persists on going through Miles City.
Ga yesterday Sunday noticed the
arrival of two gentlemen, one from Kar.
sas, the other from Chicago, who pre-.
pose opening store for the purpose OF
trading among the natives As we bave
three very large stores already, an ad-
ditional one will make things lively.
MONDAY EVENING Mrs. West and
party just arrived Met Mr. Read. the
new carpenter. Says, as every one does,
"Much nicer place than l expected -
When We get few more of Our Monrt Q
county friends here it will still be better.
Mr. Read complained OF the excessive
heat on crossing the plains, while doub !.
less many of his friends think him suf-
fering With cold. The female portion
OF the party seem almost overdone with
the trip Doubtless this climate will
speedily revive them. Mrs. Read will
assume the duties OF seamstress. They
will move at once into the school bull
ding. Don't know how the Indi,n

"kids" are generally Of more docile
disposition. They are very welcome
among US and We hope they will be as
we'll satisfied as We are.
