A Scamp and Rascal.

A fellow named Alexander N. Burcz-
ynski, who has resided in this vicinity for
several years past, and followed the voca-
ton of sheep herder and freighter,
skipped over into Canada last week, leav-
ing humber of disconsolate creditors to
mourn the loss Of several hundreds of dol
lars, which they had trusted him to in or
der to help him along. Burczynski is as
cold blooded as snake and possesses the
principle ofan alligator, he would beat
his mother or the best friend he had. He
is by birth Polander, butts naturalized
citizen, thief, liar, scoundrel, scamp and
reprobate of America. In appearance he
looks like horse thief, and would pass
for one in any civilized country. He is
about feet inches in height, dark CON-
plexioned, black eyes, hair and moustache
very white teeth, which he shows to ad-
vantage when he grins, which is almost
continually. Is an inveterate cigarette
sucker, and viii play l5-ball pool all day
if he can find as big fool as himself to
play with him.

Bench Land Vegetables.

'Take look at these vegetables" were
the words a TRIBUNE representative was
accosted with one day this week, by Joe.
Peeper and Jim. Walker, who had just
came in from the formers bench land
ranch, situated FIVE miles due east from
Great Falls
Of course the request was complied
with, and the reporters hungry gaze
rested avariciously upon as fine a lot of
vegetables, including potatoes, beats,
squash, radishes, carrots, cucumbers &c,
as was ever produced in any country
You must have plenty of water on
your ranch, . suggested the reporter, 'sand
used it copiously to produce such vegeta-
bles as these" Nary DROP was the re-
ply, sthey grew on the bench under
adverse circumstances, and without any
water other than the natural rainfall y
The reporter was not visibly affected
as he is firm believer in the productive
qualities of the bench lands OF Northern
Montana, but for skeptics, the load of
vegetables would have proved a paraIyzer.

They were understood to he willing to
make rates for the Montana Central and
ship out their rails for them provided they
could effect an arrangement to use the
formers track to Rimini. The decision
of the court as to their right up the can
yon had bothered them not little, and
they would be glad now to effect a COM
promise to bring about the above state OF
affairs. The Montana Central, however,
would listen to no such proposition, The
Manitoba would reach Montana in short
their rails.

GREAT FALLS PATRON.
Something Regarding James j. HILL,
The Patron of Our Growing
Young City.
His Wonderful Energy and Great
Generalship-O Other Matters OF
General Interest.
The Patron of Great Falls.

MANY readers of the TRIBUNE would
doubtless like to know something more
of ]. j Hill, whose name is already be-
coming familiar to the people of Montana,
in connection with our railroad develop
ment.
Mr.. Hill was born in Ontaria, Canada
il 1887, and is therefore 4S years old. He
came to St Paul, Minn., in 1888, and has
ever since, resided there. He was always
a careful, thrifty business man and would
have amassed handsome fortune even
if he had not embarked in the business
for which he has proved himself so en-
inently fitted He is a strong, we'll built
man and from appearance, should live to
q good old age. Mentally, he possesses
those qualities for railroad generalship,
which place him at once, IN the very
front rank of the railroad giants of the
country. 1t is doubtful, all things con-
sidered, if there is today, as able rail
road man in America as Mr.. Hill 10 be,
at this age, q great man in such affalrs,
one must possess even to a greater degree,
those rare qualities which make the sue
cessful military general and It may be
set down as fact, that able railroad
leaders are more difficult to find than
abba leaders in time Of war. The his
tory of railroad building does not record
the name of another man who has &C
complished as much as Mr. Hill in eight
years. Standing today, at the head OF
the great Manitoba Railway System, he
has done more to settle and develop the
Northwest, than any living man. He has
not only pushed his lines of railway into
the unsettled, but fertile prairies Of Min
nesota and Northern Dakota; but through
him the Manitoba company has done its
rork Of frontier developm on broader
pian tnau any other railway corporation.
Unlike most other men who build and
shape the policy of railroads, he has
treated settlers on the Live and let live"
plan. and he has constantly, and in many
ways. outside of his railroads, contribut-
ed to the prosperity Of the regions trayers-
ed by his roads. Mr.. Hill possesses
enormous wealth, but those who know
him will say, that he is entirely worthy of
il, and that his great wealth is being
constantly handled for the advancement
Of his fellow men and for developing the
resources of the western country. In the
midst of great business problems he finds
time for the study of books and for men
tai cultivation. He has given much
tboug ght to economic subjects and it is
safe to state that no other man in the
country possesses as accurate knowledge
of the great Northwest and knows as
we'll, how its people can be best employ
ed to advance their interests. He delights
in rare works Of art, and his keen per
ception and cultivated tastes have enabled
him to gather one of the choicest and
most valuable collections in the land
These are some of the characteristics of
the man who is to-day attracting more
attention than any other man from lake
Superior to the Pacific ocean.

An Editors Opinion.

Will Sutherlin, of the Husbandman,
who recently visited Great Falls, has the
following to say of his visit:
Great Falls, the coming city of northern
Montana, was reached at three o'clock on
the same day out from Benton 1t is
situated on the south bank of the Missouri,
Just below the mouth of Sun river. The
town is beautifully located and there is
room enough for Il large city to be buil..
Already there are perhaps two hundred
houses including, probably dozen stores
representing the various branches of
trade, one banking house and a printing
office. There are several hotels, all, apps
renhy, doing a good business. A mann
moth three-story frame hotel is ii course
or erection, and nearly completed. Ithas
one large saw-mill owned by my old-time
friend Ira Myers, g pianing-mill, owned
by Hotter Bros. and a Touring mill. The
latter is run by water power, the water
being taken from the river at the first rap
lis only fourth Of mile above. The
buildings at Great Falls are Of wood ex-
cept few small bricks and the mammoth
store Of Murphy. Maclay & Co, which is
of store. There are, however, several
stone business houses in course Of erec-
ton. The Sand Coulee coal mines nine
miles distant, are expected to furnish
-f
when the Montana Central railroad, now
building, is completed. Some of the coal
veins are fourteen feet thick and very
easily worked. L is designed that Great
Falls shall be the great manufacturing
town of Montana, and the principal city
on the line of the Montana Central con-
nection with the Manitoba railroad. The
water power to be had is superior to any
other Montana. na;ut ~ exaaetea to
induce the erection of foundries, WOODEN
mills, paper mills and smelters, and it
doubtless will when the country reaches
that state OF development that will de-
mand them. The country lying back Of
the fallS has received araplQ incoming OF
settlers since the town was located. Much
of it is benches, and good grazing lands.
There are some fine farm locations upon
which good crops are being raised. AS
the soil is sandy and underlaid with a
bedrock, the surface water from the
mountaing furnishes sufficient moisture
in ordinary seasons to produce excellent
crops without irrigation. This season,
however, being unusually dry the crops
grown will be unusually short. Ny friend
0. C. Morrison, who has a ranch in Sand
Coulee had already harvested his grain
crop, making hay of it. E. E. Bywaters
and a number OF others, l learned, con-
template converting their crops in the
same manner, into hay.

Observation-Disclosures

tCitS-CuS6 S6t.tCii--i j Q u ooC.
Last Saturday evening, which was by
the way, favored with a beautiful moon
light, q large company of friends invaded
the premises OF Mr.. Il. I. Rolfe, armed
with tin. They had been quietly invited
by the hostess to come out and help eele-
brate their tenth anniversary. The party
started from town at about 80 and flew
over the smooth road in carriages and
upon horseback to the accompaniment Of
tin horns and tin cans, to Mr. Rolfe's
magnificent ranch two miles from town.
The grounds We're Illuminated with Chin
ese lanterns and spacious platform III

dancers A short musical programme
was rendered by Miss Carter, Miss White,
Mrs Rolfe and Messrs. Chowen, Dicker-

Of our readers for not saying numerous

item upon wedding is complete with
out that expression. But truth must pre-
vail even at the risk of losing our sub

the tin line which is useful in household
economy. The ornamental feature was
not neglected either. There was plug

of jewelry of solid" tin with egg settings.

The dial was marked with mile-stones

that Mr. and Mrs. Rolfe will live to see
that day
The dancing and merry making were
stopped at about II O'Clock by the an
nouncement that refreshments were to be
served. After this interesting discussion
Of the viands dancing was continued I'm

from the other six, was reached. Every

Killed by a Water Spout

About one year ago band of 900 head
of cattle were found dead in lake about
five miles from Great Falls. Conjectures
were rife as to the probable cause Of their
death, but no satisfactory or sensible con-
clusion was ever arrived at. In CONVEX
sation with a gentleman of wide and
varied experience in Montana, a TRIBUNE
reporter recalled this incident, and asked
for an opinion as to the probable cause Of
their death.
my opinion" he replied, sat the time,
was that they were feeding in one of the
many coulees, when a cloud burst, and
they were carried down to the lake in a
great wave of water. This is strengthen
ell by the fact that the water in the lake
was two or three feet higher, when the
dead cattle were discovered, than it usual
ly was. have had it in my mind to ex-
anime the country, thereabouts to see ii l
could find any traces of water spout,
and at my earliest convenience shall do
SO, and will let you know if / make any
discovery"
In our mind this is the most sensible
conjecture ever advanced as to the pro-
bable cause of the death of this band of
cattle. Lightning, was accepted at the
time, as the cause, but when one looks
closely into the matter or stops for mo-
nent to think, they will see that this is
one of the most improbable causes i'm
aginable, and that the water spout idea
about fills the bill.

THE OBSERVER.

sat on the piazza of the Park hotel
last Sunday and looked out upon the
beautiful Park Drive, lined on either
side with luxuriant trees. Into my mind
sprang thoughts Of the future. 1t took
little exercise of imagination to lay before
my eyes elegant turn-outs dashing up and
down the boulevard and crowds gathered
apon the porches, watching the multi
tudes pass. The view from the hotel is
perfectly grand. 1t embraces the widen
ing Missouri, the fertile Sun river valley
and four different spurs of the Rockies.
Great Falls in sure to be a great pleasure
resort and sporting place. | predict that
so many tourists will pour in here next
summer that the hotel will not be large
enough. 1t can easily be enlarged how
ever.

Prairie Dogs.

"Yes," causually remarked an oldtimer,
few days ago. "the prairie dogs are
multiplying very rapidly, and it is only a
matter of time until the problem of their
riddance will be matter Of legislation in
Montana, the same as it is in California.
The bounty paid for coyote and wolf
scalps, has been the means of decreasing
their numbers, and in consequence the
prairie dogs, upon whom they preyed to
a great extent, are becoming nuisance,
which to get rid of is perplexing pro-
blem''
