President Cleveland is said to be
the possessor of a modest $4,000.

The highly colored, sensational
stories which circulate in the east,
concerning The toughness Of Montana
society, are well calculated to make
the average would be eastern emigrant
a little vary about selecting Mon
tana as an abideing place These
stories are all bosh, and have for their
foundation very little if any truth.
The Northwest says: "The condition
Of society in the far West must not be
judged from the anecdotes and sensa-
tional paragraphs which get into the
Eastern journals. It is the e1cep-
tional event which is chronicled in the
newspapers, not the ordinary course
Of life. To people who do not spend
their leisure time in whisky shops, or
flourish revolvers as an evidence of
courage life is about as quiet and or
derby in Montana as in Ohio; indeed,
it is much safer than in some of the

Helena is just now enjoying a series
Of .booms.n The projected railroad
to the Red Mountain mines has stir
red up the mining excitement to a
boiling point-fguratively speaking,
The Helena correspondent of the In
ter Mountain has the following to
say Of the latest scheme: "It Is diff
cult to make an over estimate of the
extent of the schemes now in progress
for the development Of the mines in
the Red Mountain, or Ten Mile dis
trict. Accompany has been organized
with a capital Of SIS ,000,O 600, the incor-
porators beng Marian Maginnis, D.
A. G. Flowerree, c. A. Broadwater,
W. A. Chessman and J. B. Wilson.
The combination embraces a good
deal of capital, when you include the
savings from Major Maginnis's salary
as congressman for ten or twelve
years. The Rimini railroad is a part
of this enterprise, and its progress is
as favorable as could be desired. 1t
is remarked that the depot of this road
is established SIX Or eight miles east
of Helena, near some property ownec
by ex-governor Potts and others whc
are parties to the enterprise. Thi.
suggests the possibility of a gresi
smelling establishment about the
point indicated-another Anaconda.

Stockgrowers' Journal.


To say that the winter has had no
effect on stock and that they are still
wallowing in fat would not be to
state the real facts concerning the
present situation. and would serve no
useful ends. Stock owners abroad
and others interested indirectly in
range stock desire reliable informa-
ton as to how it is with animals run
ming at large on the range.
Careful inquiry from reliable men
who have visited different sections Of
the range country develops the lnfor-
nation that stock in Montana-gener-
ally speaking are in better condition
now than ever before at this time of
year-far better than at this time last
year. But they have suffered in flesh
since the cold weather set in about
the first Of January and are not pre-
pared to stand the amount Of severe
weather that they were then. The
winter, however, has been favorable
in that we have had no long protract-
ed spells of severe weather. The
cold weather would cause the
cattle to travel and suffer for a week,
and then a weeks spring like weather
would take the kinks out of their
backs and put them to feeding in the
sheltered hills and they would have
time to recuperate from n severe
week before more hard weather set in.
There have been no losses yet, and
should the present balmy weather
continue, as many predict it will I'M
til spring sets IN in earnest, the loss
Of cattle in Montana and adjoining
ranges will not be worth considering.
II, on the contrary, we should have
very severe weather throughout the
rest Of this month and March, there
can be no doubt but many Of the
weaker cattle and old COWS especially
would die.
On some ranges, where the feed is
bad on account of the ravages of
grasshoppers last summer, the loss
might be quite serious.
1t is, however, quite improbable
that we will have any long con
tinued severe weather, if indeed
winter is not now coming to a close.
In u nutshell, SO far. matters on the
range are more favorable than ever
before at this season. The future de-
ponds greatly on the weather with
chances that it will be favorable.
Glendive Independent.
Reports from the ranges speak ia
yorable Oh the condition of the cattle.
Although some untimely calves are
suffering and will no doubt continue
to suffer until death or spring comes
to their relief, yet the range cattle are
IN good heart and flesh, in fact many
are in good prime beef condition We
hear of quite a bunch of cattle that
have crossed the divide and come
down on the river, but a force of rid
ers are now engaged driving them
back TO their ranges on the Big
Dry and the Red water. The sudden
mild spell is quite welcome to both
cattle and cattle owners and If con.
tinues no danger can result, but mos
cattle me prefer no chinook to a shori
one and then a hard freeze-up. Al
present the weather is growing mild
er instead of colder and the snow ha.
almost entirely disappeared.

New NORTHWEST.
Not only does the Helena and Red
Mountain railway, and the Helena
and Marysville railway, seem assured
facts, but circumstances point to the
fact that q survey is now being made
for a railway from Helena down the
Missouri, at least to Great Falls. This
is a proper direction for Helena en-
terprise and capital. It is anecessity
of the situation and q promising field
for direct and indirect benefits.

lack. the Giant Killer.

A mill took place at the Dyckman House,
last Thursday evening between Frank Pierce
alias Baldwin, the Irish giant. and Jack
Wood, the giant killer alias Reddy, the
feather weight, in which the giant was
knocked out in the second round. The
cause of the affray was that Baldwin vigor-
ously insisted that Reddy was a son of a
bachelor, and persisted in following him
up and in as plain language as possible, kept
repeating the offensive epithet. Reddy
tried. with fire shovel, to impress into
Baldwin's head that he was making an I'M
warranted assertion. Baldwin finally
"tumbled' to Reddy's forcible argument and
dished up the claret, or. in other words
Pierce was felIed to the floor by coming in
to too close proximity with a fourteen pound
fire shovel in the hands of Jack Wood while
it was descending at 1:i5 gait. Result,
