Crowfoot's Relations.

CroWfoot, the chief of the Blackfeet In
dians, is a man cursed with poor relations,
compared with whom, SO far as numbers
go, Admiral Sir Joseph Porter's relatives
were but mite. They are numbered by
hundreds and they all live on the old man,
who has a deuce of q time among them all.
The latest to get on his trail is his son-in-
law, Poundmaker, lately released from the
Stony Mountain penitentiary, where he
was confined for participating in the rebell-
ion last spring, He sent a messenger to
CroWfoot, who was then at Gleichen, that
he would visit him with the intention of
obtaining some tangible assistance from his
pa-in-laW to enable him to start life anew.
He also stated that he had been baptized a
Christian and intended to limit his halem
to one wife, and OF course II Papa Crow
foot would come dove handsomely, Mrs.
Poundmaker, nee CroWfoot, would be the
happy lady he would retain. Whether old
man Crowfoot has had enough of his som
in-laW. or whether he wants his daughter
back home, is not known, but when Pound
maker arrived at Gleichen with his train Of
hungry braves and brayesses, the wise old
chief had utilized the free pass granted
him by the G. 2. r. and fled to Calgary,
where he purposes to remain for the pres
ent.-Manitoba Sun.

a drouth, and only for the exceptionally
mild winter stock interests would have
suffered terribly. In the territory stock
growers cannot any longer depend on the
range grass as ample feed for stock the
year round. The high grade of stock
they are putting on the ranges now is not
so easy taken care of as the native stock.
1t requires something more substantial
during the winter to feed on than the linn
tied quantity Of short grass they can pick
from underneath q bed of snow. Rain
does not fall heavy enough to insure a
good crop of grass for the winter months,
and on the short dry grass the blooded
stock cannot exist. Large stock owners
acknowledge that they must erect feeding
houses on the ranges before many seasons

Canadian Pac1flc's Through Line.

WINNIPEG, June .5.-Thomas Thomp-
kins, who has the contract for erecting all
water tanks, round houses and stations be-
tween Donald and the Pacific terminus of
the Canadian Pacific, passed through the
city to-day for the east, to engage an adj
ditional number of men. He reports the
greatest activity along the line through
the Rockies. Over two thousand men are
engaged in ballasting, building water
tanks, stations and erecting land and snow
sheds. The effect of the snow sides are
not nearly so great as had been anticipate
ed, and the damage done during last win
ter was slight. He reports the road in
first-class condition. All the contractors
have been notified to have their work suf-
fciently advanced by June Is, to allow
the running of trains.

Frank Gauthier, who arrived from Nei

Gently visited Neihart to see what could

one of the contractors on the 700 foot tun-

They will shortly let contract for the

tap the lead at a depth Of 900 feet.
The erection of concentrators will make
it possible to ship low grade ores a long

short time before Neihart will come to the

The Pursuit OF the Apaches.
Special to the River Press.

Special to the River Press. s
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The war de-
partment has received the following from
Gen. Miles, dated June 7th: For thirty
six days the hostile Apaches have been
pursued by the troops in scattered bands
over 800 miles Of the most mountainous
region of the country. After an engage
ment with our troops and two with the
Mexicans the hostiles endeayored to reach
the reservation. Lieut.. Col. Wade, Of
Fort Apache, and Capt. Pierce, Of San
Carlos, held the Indians on the reserya-
ton under close control. Instead Of get
ting assistance, what horses they had were
captured and the band escaped On foot to
the mountains. Last night Lieut.. Walsh,
Of the fourth cavalry, with thirty nine
soldiers and Indian scouts, Intercepted
this band in the mountains and captured
three horses, saddles and supplies. Since
entering the United States they have killed
thirteen persons. They will be given no
rest until driven into Sonora, Mexico.

The Sun River Bridge.

For some time past the people Of the Sun
River valley and adjacent country have
been hoping and praying that the bridge
at this place might be made free to the
public. The people who use the bridge are
about equally resident of Choteau and
Lewis e Clarke counties. Both counties
derive large revenues annually from the
taxpayers Of this section, and it certainly
looks as If the time had arrived when our
people should be relieved Of this bridge
toll burden. The bridge can now be bought
at a low figure and divided between the
two counties, the cost to each would be
small. The risedent commissioners have
presented petitions to their respective
boards, prayingIfor relief from the toll-tax,
our citizens have raised several hundred
dollars as an encouraging wedge, and we
hope both countysboards will see the jus
tice of our claim and come to our assistance

consul at Guaymas, Mexico, that the band
of renegade Apaehes under their chief,
Geronimo, well mounted and armed, con-
tinue their murderous raids through the

engagements with Mexican troops have
occurred IN Magdalena district in which
the troops were defeated. The American
troops, by orders of Gen. Miles, are on the

measures have been adopted to inspire
confidence among the people of Sonora.

Will Sparks be Bounced.

Washington special: 1t is rumored
tbat when the president returns Secretary
lamar will call his attention to Sparks.
THE secretary is the gentlest and most
natient man in the cabinet. # eny one
a,ce were in his place, Sparks would have
,otired from public life long ago; but he
shifted the burden upon Assistant Secre-
torv jerks and tried to make himself be-
1ieve there was no such thing as Sparks in
4bo departmedt. Now that jerks is gone,
,bpre is no fortification behind which the
.ocretary can retire when Sparks becomes
rambunctious, and he is having his pa
tience tested to the utmost. The other
day. in reversing one of the decisions of
the land office Mr.. Lamar practically told
Sharks to mind his own business, and it
was supposed that the commissioner would
take the hint; bat he Immediately did
tbe worst thing he has done yet in sns-
rending the operation Of the pre- emption
y md timber culture acts. From some in
Hsions it is inferred that Mr.. Lamar will
nrto get rid of Sparks as soon as the
resident returns fron his honeymoon.
Although Sparks not long ago announced
ID an interview that the president had the
utmost confidence In him, testimony from
! the white house goes to show that if he
could be dropped without a scandal he
would soon be done for; but the president
Is afraid Of howl that will naturally be
raised by the papers that have been sup
porting the land commissioner in his ''re-
forms.'' I am told that Elihu B. Wash
burn saved Sparks once by writing Mr..
Cleveland a letter commending him, but
il will take some influence more powerful
. than Mr.. Washburn to save him now.
I The president has been much annoyed by
Sparks recent eccentricities, but was
afraid to dismiss him for fear of having
( his motives misunderstood. There is said
I 10 be six thousand unanswered letters in
4 1.-The office of the commissioner, and several
Thousand awaiting his signature. These
letters are written by clerks in the several
divisions that have jurisdiction over the
I subject to which they refer, and are sent
H for the signature of the commissioner.
Hewill not tsign letter that he does not
fully understand. AS several hundred
Mmyritten every day, the majority are
n@ide for the commissioners personal
ezanaation, and he never gets time to
msit. AS a consequence, the business
dhe office, which is almost entirely con-
lucted by correspondence, is in a snarl
htis becoming very embarrassing.

ON the great Rainbow vein, east of the

The Moulton previously owned nine six

all but one-sixteenth. This purchase gives
the Moulton company about 5000 feet on

GUS military companies in the east, it was
