Pegg's Point is prominent point OF
tocks along the. line of the West Shore
railroad, projecting nearly to the watcr's
edge cf the Hudson river, about half 4
mile north of Marlborough. When the
West Shore road was beirig built many
meu were employed drilling and bfasting
at Pegg's Point, as il was one OF the worst
'scuts" on the line. One of the laborers
was known as "Yank." He was French
man who had a fondness for dogs. whcH
he went away from the Point cne tiav in
1881, he left two full -blooded St. BernardS
in charge of a Mrs. Horarf. who ran the
big boarding-house shanty there. When
that part of the West Shore road was coms
, pleted, nearly four years ago, the st. Ber-
nards md other dogs. for reasons unex-
planned, were left behind on the promon-
tory. The dogs multiplied, and, in SONG
instances, paired with foxes. At various
places along the Central Hudson the ami.

LEFT IN THE LURCH.

There are many who believe that
throwing open to settlement the Fort
Ellis reservation, two miles from Booze
man, will be of immediate benefit to
Bozeman. We do not 50 regard it.
This area of agricultural, timber and
mineral land, composing nearly $4,000
acres, is one of the best in the famed
Galla;in valley. The agricultural land Is
well watered. the timber easy of access.
and large amount of splendid building
stone and brick clay lies within easy
reach. Coal is also conveniently close at
hand. Notwithstanding these facts. az
ric1llture is Bozeman's main dependence
at present, and any move calculated to
stimulate and encourage this enterprise
should be met with the hearty co opera
ton of our citizens. But will the selling
of such valuable tract of land, so close
at hand, be of immediate advantage to
MS? Win not this land fall into the
hands of greedy spectators and remain
dormant until times are better in this
portion of the territory-when Helena
shall cease to draw like magnet all
capitalists and settlers to her doors
when the period of reviviication sets
n? Tina, of course, will ses this
vast area thickly dotted with farm houses,
but Bozeman will not at present re-
ceive any perceptible benefit from it.
The time for moving the troops, as far as
we are concerned, is unpropitious.
We had hoped that the military pow
ers would see tie advantage of making
Fl. Ellis large post, where large nun
Der Of troops could be centralized and
convenient for Indian outbreaks, should
any occur in or near Montana. Horses
and men can be fed cheaper at Fl. Ellis
than at any post in the west Our fail
ure to do this seems to be attributable
TO the fact that Bozeman. lacked friends
in military circles, and that TT. Ellis
was destitute of that kind of friends who
manage to keep well supplied with pat
rons of the suffers store and saloon.

Heated Boxes.

The heating of the boxes of thu reaper
or mower frequently occasions vexatlous
DELAY, and occurs without any apparent
cause. 1t is noticeable that box ono"
heated is more prone to heat again, and
ifthe box holding the shalt to which, the
sickle driver is at ached is ever thorough
Feated future trouble can be avoided
only by the greatest care. If tie box
fits too closely around the shaft it Is apt
TO heat. So, too, lift fit too loosely.
The shaft must have enough play. but
no more. Too much play is more ire
'ouently the cause than too little play
AS the machine comes from the man
ufactory the boxes are properly adjusted,
but use wears them larger at the same
time that the ats are worn smaller.
Each season part Of the packing should
be removed and the box frightened.
fit then heats the chances are that 1t
has been made too tight, and some OF
the packing may be restored.
Lack of proper oiling will, OF course
cause the boxes to heat. Very few are
so careless as not apply oil often
enou III, bit the oil my be inferior
It is we'll to buy oil of only a reliable
dealer. remembering that good oil may
be sold at a low price, bnt poor oil can
not. The rule FOX oiling a mower or
reaoer should be "little and otter" "
The boxes in which the sickle driver
works should be oiled every few moment
If too mucn oil is applied not only Is the
excess wasted but dust is gathered, and
this is a frequent cause of the boxes
heating. Ifs box heats, the first thing
to do is to remove oil dirt, iftheir be any
IN if: and this is the first measure CT
prevention as we'll twill also reduce
the wearing of the parts. 1.-THE grounds
is quite dry the dust will soon find its way
into the box and make trouble unless
removed. Sometimes grass or straw VIII
get wound around the shaft in the box.
He who would never have hot box
must have sharp eye and be of a care
