Fall Weather..

We would Change Montana skies and

for that OF any other cline? Where else
can sach cloudless skies and bracing air as
we are being favored with day after day
be had? The poet claims for the month
Of June that then, if ever, thu perfect
days come" But what epithe5 could he
find to do justice to tie days Of October in
Montana: Could q painter fairly repre-
sent the view across the valley from our
city when The afternoon sun casts long
shadows Oh the plains, while the noun
tains THAT seem but Il half hours walk
from us) stand boldly ont with their sum
mits gilded with the long rays Of sunlights?
Could an artist faithfully transfer to can
vas such a scene, | say, Is we are blessed
| with each afternoon during these glorious
fail days, his fame and fortune would be
assured. But what an impossible task he
would be essaying We're he to attempt it.
How could the long shadows dying on the
plains with the occasional flashes Of light
interspersed, be reproduced on dead can
vas: How could the purple light resting
Oh the slopes of the hills, breaking into a
golden radiance at their SUBMITS, be
copied in mere oil coiors? After one at
tempt the brush would be dashed down in
despair. And yet this isthe place that the
East, with its fogs and rains, maligns and
accuses of being responsible for every de-
scription of bad weather that reaches them
from outside.-Heyatd.

Russia's Front Door.

There ar three points upon the southern
boundary Of the Russian empire whore
pressure is periodically exerted to secure 3
front door upon southern seas. Z brief
inspection of 4 good map will show the
procuring cause o. Russian unrest. Idle
dreams Of useless conquest have not led
W. cars since Peter the Greats time TO

is a stroar practical and business reason in
the movement. Oh the west The Baltic
offers slender facilities for Ru'sian trade
