Its Sottd.

The Husbandman says that the recent
merging OF the TRIBUNE into a stock
company mems for it a new lease of
life which could reasonably be constru-
ed into meaning that its lease Of life was
limited heretofore; this is not the case
for the paper has always enjoyed a liber-
al patronage. The only reason why the
change was made was because Il larger
and better paper was demanded. In Or
der to effect this desidcratum and place
the paper on a solid foundation, required
the expenditure of a largersum of money
than the present proprietor could COM
mand, and for this reason only. was the
change made. The new company is
composed of q number of the leading
men in Northern Montana, and within
the neS sixty days the TRIBUNE viii
take a long stride ahead.

Between fifty and sixty miles OF grading

the Montana Central company.-fIeraid.
Speaking of the Montana Central, the

to say Of our railroad; "The moving

Col. Chss. \. Broadwater, of Helena, a
man of wealth and of much more infiu-

hackers are A. III. Wilder of st. Paul, long
BroadWater's business partner in various
northwestern enterprises; Dennis Ryan, ii
st. Paul millionaire, who made his for
tune out of the Horn Silver mine in Utah;
J.J. Hill of St. Paul, president of the St.
Paul, Minneapolis d Manitoba railway,
the best railway property in the west;
Marshall Field, the Chicago dry goods
man; a New York capitalists whose name
is not given. Each of these men has
subscribed one million dollars for Col.
Broadwater's railway enterprises in Mon
tana and each of them is abundantly able
to pay his subscription in ready cash.
Besides the mere building of the Mon
tana Central the syndicate have other i'm
portant enterprises in hand or in view.
The Falls of the Missouri river, the finest
water power IN the Northwest, was long
ago acquired by ]. j, Hill, by means of
covering the land on each side with

The Mccormick Reaper works OF
Chicago, which has employed l,5oO
hands has closed down on account of
an organized strike being foreseen by
the proprietor. Mr.. Mccormick claims,
and justly too, that he has the right
to employ white or black, male or fe-
male, union u n%on-unlon as he thinks
best. Let us here mediate upon the
wise wise words of q recent writer
upon this live subject Here they
are: In the struggle between labor
and capital our sympathies are always
with labor until it turns upon labor
itself. When it %proscribes the en-
ployment of laborers who have not
surrenderered their liberty of action
to an arbitrary control, it then be-
comes a despotic monopoly"

route for the Gait railroad. 1t suggests
that the road tap the G. F.. ut Calgary, and
then build to Macleod, and then into this
Territory. 1t says: The extension of
the Gait line to Macleod would fern ar
outlet for the coal of that company and
open up a much more extensive market
than the other one possibly can. The
rout, we speak of would touch all the
markets along the line from Dunmore

country. From Calgary to the interna-
tional boundary line, the road would run
through one of the most thickly settled
portions Of the Northwest Passing
