az well. PRACTICAL experiments nave pro-
. this. Such being the case it is a mere
mere waste of time to cultivate the poor,
miserable soft wheat, which must prove
equally as unsatisfactory to the producer
as to the manufacturer and consumer.
Let 8 good quality of wheat be produced,
and Montana -four will rank second to

We understand ali the details of the
bank for Great Falls have been settled,
and that in a few weeks the institution
will be ready for business. This enter
prise will be appreciated by all the bust
ness men here is we'll as by the commu-
nifty ut large@ III this country the bank
check is the universal money. All debts
are paid by check, and likewise every
business transaction requiring an ex-
change of money. 1t is oftimes impossi-
BILE to get these checks cashed without
golnS~ either to Helena or Benton. Last
fall when the ranchmen marketed their
wheat here, they received checks for the
same, and as they could not get them
cashed, it caused great Inconvenience,
and occasioned numerous harsh remarks.
This bank will do away with this incon
venience altogether, and when a ranch
man receives 3 check for his grain next
fall he a exchange the same for money
before returning home. 1t will also in a
measure do away with this check nui-
sauce, and besides will keep what money
there is here at home.
Pat. Sweeney returned from the upper
Missouri where lie has been cutting logs
for Ira Myers & Co, the past winter. He
says q corps of Montana Central railroad
engineers, numbering twenty men, are at
| work in the Missouri river canyon. They
| were within six miles of the mouth OF the
canyon last Monday, and were working
this way rapidly. He says they did not
allow neither the storm nor Sunday to in
| ~terfere with their work. It is quite like
ly they will arrive here some time during
| the coming week. This would seem to
definitely settle the route which the road
will take from the mouth of Prickly Pear
| canyon to this place.
One of the most needed enterprises in
Great Falls just at tnis time is a good
| sized hotel. The hotels We have are first
class, but they are altogether too small,
and are. unable to accommodate more
than a1in.ted number of persons. A great
many people will visit Great Falls the
coming season, and they must have &C.
commodAtipns somehow.
A gentleman just down from Nelhart,
says the camp is pretty dull at present,
owing to the closing down of the smelter,
but that every body is satisfied with the
outlook for the camp the coming season
He says the Broadwater syndicate will
put q force Of men to work in their mines
in the spring.
Ira Myers while returning from Deel
creek Wednesday, had the misfortune te
miss the road just at dark and when about
ten miles from town. He wisely conclud

ed for such an emergency, it is fair tt
presume he had very unpleasant time
