Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-06-02
MEMORIAL D1 Y.

Wherever comrades decorate today the
graves of the heroic dead, the people OF
Great Falls will be with them in spirit.
Here we all hold in reverence the mem
DRY of the brave men who rallied round
the flag and by their heroic sacrifices,
preserved unimpaired the glorious union
| which Washington and his compatriots
| founded. In a special manner sympathy
will be expressed today for one of the
greatest of these warriors who resolutely
awaits the final summons to that
bright heritage for those who nobly live
or bravely die. The union owes much to
Philip II. Sheridan, who, inheriting the
martial valor Of his race, rendered SER
vices which will link his name imperisha-
bly, with those Of Grant and Sherman. 1t
was that modest, unassuming soldier who
neither sought public applause nor politi-
cal preferment, that hurled back Early
from the Shenandoah valley and thus left
Grant at liberty to hem in the forces of
Lee and compel him to surrender. Hay
ing thus protected the national capital
Sheridan marched his forces to the aid of
Grant, and by the energy which he dis
played rendered it impracticable for Lees
shattered army to retreat and prolong the
war in the mountain detles, remote from
the northern base Of operations His
valor thus rendered signal service to the
union cause at a critical moment and
saved the south from an infatuation which
might have led her to engage IN inferno
cine war. Sheridan was loved by the
troops. After the close of hostilities he
desired no higher rank than that which
placed him at the head of the army |
among brave comrades who had followed |
him resolutely amid the storm and the
smoke of battle. On this day, which is
sacred to the memory of the illustrious
dead, many hopes will be expressed that
he may be able to repel the cold hand Of
death with energy like that which turned
the tide of battle at Cedar creek, where,
amid the din Of the combat, his rallying
cry was. heard-'Turn, boys, turn; we're
going back"

OUR MINERAL WEALTH,

The Butte Inter Mountain refers in
gratifying terms to the mineral wealth of
Montana. 1t says: montana will make
one of the mightiest states in the union.
The wealth of all the territories com
blned is not much greater than that of
Montana. In precious metals, in copper,
iron, lead and coal, this territory is des-
tined permanently to occupy the first
place. Ten years ago the annual precious
metal product did not exceed $4,OOO,OOO,
but the miners and prospectors about that
time got ''move" on them, and since
then the territory has been rolling for
ward grandly until it now leads all the
mlneral-producing divisions in the union.
OF silver and gold alone last year the
yield alone was $1S000000, market value,
while the copper and lead ran it up to
$2S,OOO,O0O, and still it can scarcely be
said that the territory has got a fair start.
While the production of Utah, Arizona,
Nevada, California and Colorado is either
at standstill or on the wane, that of
Montana is increasing with rapidity and
steadlness that are the marvel of all OBJ
servers. But as we have said, only the
beginning has been seen. In Missoula
county, which is not yet producing dol
lar, are mines of vast proportions of sill
YER. copper and lead cropping out of the
ground, which some day will yield i'm
mense returns. To the east of us the
camp of Cooke bids fair to rival Butte in
the extent and richness of its ore bodies,
Harry Gassert, pioneer miner, who once
owned the Bluebird mine of Butte, saws
llere are a dozen Bluebirds in Cooke Citv.
and all that is needed there is railroad
Between Cooke City and the undeveloped
mines of Missoua county is the richest
and most extensive mineral field on earth !"
Our esteemed contemporary, however,
loses sight of the immense mineral depo-
sits OF the Belt mountain region, and of
the promising camp at Castle. Nature,
has dealt generously with northern Mon
tana where she has added coal to smelt
the ores and water-power to aid in
handling them.

low as they should have been until the
Manitoba entered the field, they were not
outrageously unjust. But Helena and
Billings and other competing points re-
ceived Just as much benefit as Fort
Benton.
The wool rates from Great Falls to
Boston, Philadelphia and other points are
exactly the same as from Fort Benton to
these cities. The Manitoba management
properly considers Great Falls and Fort
Benton common points with reference to
the outlying sheep sections, giving the
i, wool growers the benefit Of making choice
according to distance, etc, and these rates
will continue the same as in justice they
should.
But suppose for a moment that the few
boats on the river should conclude to
carry out wool at less rate than that
named by the railroad, would not the
Manitoba Immediately meet or cut that
rate? And would not Great Falls shippers
enjoy just the same benefit as those Of
Fort Benton? The same exactly. Whether
they go up or whether they go down the
wool rates will be precisely alike from
Great Falls and Fort Benton, and ship
pers can take their choice with this as
surance. The same will be true with
regard to Billings and Big Timber, com
mon points on the Northern Pacific
These are the exact facts in the case, and
the specious arguments of the secretary
of the association in the Benton boom
pamphlet will not deceive any one.

WOOL RATES.

We notice that our esteemed contempt
rary at Fort Benton, the River Press, as
well as the boom pamphlet, known as the
Wool Grower, have great deal to say
about wool rates to the eastern markets,
and that they are endeavoring to create
the impression that Fort Benton will have
lower rates than any other town in Mon
tana on account Of the river. 1t is we'll
known to the woolgrowers of Montana
that we have had rail and river ''compe-
tition" for five years, and they will dis
tinctly remember that never for one MN
ute was the rate by river lower than that
by rail from common points; in fact, it
has been usually higher to the amount of
the insurance on the river. This fact will
not be all at once lost sight of by the
woolgrowers.
But the Tribune has no disposition to
belittle the influence of the Missouri
river. 1t is leveler of rates, or at least
stands as bar to eXorbitant tariffs on the
part of the railroads. Even though the
steamboat and railroad managers have
pooled in the past, the influence of the
river has nevertheless been felt through
out the whole Northern Pacific territory
in Montana. While rates were not as

The putfedup secretary of the associ-
ation," the same that wrote the official
letter, signed 81. W. Peck, secretary of
the Montana Woolgrowers' association"
in which he denounced every one who
did not agree with him us fool and
knave, says he has no interest in Montana
excepting in sheep. AS matter of fact,
he has large number of Benton town
lots on his hands, and with his usual and
natural seltishness is now and has been.
since he acquired this valuable realty, de-
voting the Wool Grower mainly to the
work of booming Benton. What was
once representative class journal has
developed into boom pamphlet, and for
wind and gall and NORWOOD and con-
centrated meanness it is overwhelmingly
entitled to the palm.

THE LEADING WOOL MARKET.

In bringing their wool to Great Fall
the woolgrowers will be guided by sount
business principles. They will bring i
here because this is for most of them the
nearest market and is provided with {
wool warehouse of large extent, a wagon
bridge and extensive railroad facilities
They will come here also because this is
the best place to buy hardware, groceries,
dry goods and drugs. They will likewise
be attracted here by the presence of lead
ing buyers and by the determination of
our people to encourage the woolgrow er
in every possible way, especially ensuring
that every item Of expense shall be re-
duced to the lowest and that none of
those incidental charges, which are com
mon elsewhere, shall be levied directly
Or indirectly upon the producer.
These are the considerations which will
govern the many wool growers who have
already announced their determination to
come here. They will not be led into
any controversies as to whether Benton or
Great Falls is the true friend Of the wool
grower They will leave that to the
malignant Peck, whose generosity in the
interest of the wool trade is well known.
But Great Falls will not shrink from
comparison on that score. Her founder,
Paris Gibson, has done more for the wool
industry of northern Montana than Peck
is likely to do if he lives IL thousand years.
Mr.. Gibson feels proud of the sheep in
dustry, which he helped to establish here
and has kept it's interests in view in all
matters concerning railroads, freights,
warehouse accommodation and banking
facilities.
Great Falls must always be associated
with the advancement of the wool inter
ests. The Manitoba and Montana Central
railroads, which have been the heralds of
low rates and quick transportation, for
wool as well as other merchandise, will
always be connected with the founding of
Great Falls, whose water power and other
resources were a powerful factor in in
ducing Mr.. Hill to extend the Mani
toba railway system to Montana.
Following in natural order the construc-
ton Of the railroad has been succeeded by
the rise of this wool market, the building
of large warehouse, adjacent to the
track, the establishment of extensive bus
mess houses and banks; the organization
of Board of Trade and the general all
vancement of this region, enhancing
greatly the value of the lands owned by
sheepmen.
All these gains for the wool industry
have been accompanied with strong pub
lie sentiment in favor of according it
ample protection. In common with KEEL
ley ard Randall and the leading wool
growers of the country irrespective of
their party ties, this joural has denounced
the ''free wool" scheme, while the Benton
River Press has been criminally silent on
the subject. These and other matters
must convince the north Montana wool
growers that this prosperous, progressive
city is the place for them to do business.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-06-02

Mr., Blaine's last letter is emphatic
enough to~set all the candidates in mo-
ton. The republican contest has become
| u free for-all race as we'll as go-as-you-
| please one. Each candidate will now
order his supporters to prepare for gen
eral advance on Chicago. The race seems
to lie between Depew, Gresham and Sher-
man. The number of dark horses is
large. but these are the favorites. Mr..
Blaine steadily refrains from expressing
any preference, but his immediate friends
want Depew nominated and are confident
that he would be the strongest candidate,
so far as the pivotal state of New York is
| concerned. Gresham has developed con-
siderable strength in Illinois and Mime
sofa. Col Ingersoll gives him terse
endorsement and so do others of less note.
He lacks the open support of his own
state, but the Indiana delegates are likely
to wheel into line when they find that
Harrison has few supporters. Sherman
can count on the Ohio vote and that OF
some southern delegates, but with Ores
ham, Allison, and Alger, more or less in
the field, from the west, his position is
not strong. This state of things favors
the Depew canvass and will be turned to
account by his agents who are strong and
active. Depew was one of the leaders of
the anti Conkling wing and was the shalt
breed' candidate in the memorable SEN
atorlal contest which ended in the over
throw of Conlsling. But the bitterness Of
that conflict has disappeared and Depew
now heads the united New York dele
cation which goes to Chicago to chant
the glories of the Empire state first, last
and all the time

One Of the most improbable and gull
llble schemes we know Of is that of the
secretary Of the association to induce
the wool men to erect warehouse at
Fort Benton for the storage of their
wool. This is something that should be
done by the railroad OF steamboat mana
gers, or more appropriately still by the
enterprise and public spirit of the town.
Nobody but the secretary, with his inetf-
able egotism and gall, would ask the wool
growers to do it. The only effect of stor-
ing wool at the levee at Benton that we
can see would be the payment of good
round transfer charges for carrying the
clips to the railroad two miles and a
quarter away

| The effort of the Benton boom pam
phlet, known as the Wool Grower, tc
create the impression that Great Falls is
in any way hostile to the wool industry OF
Montana is subterfuge worthy of the
"secretary of the association" 1t is a
part and parcel of his deceptive pro
gramme to attract wool shipments to Fort
Benton, not upon merit, but by creating a
feeling of hostility to Great Falls-a line
of policy he has seen fit to pursue at all
times that the opportunity presented.
Great Falls or her citizens have no more
to do with the desert land cases of the
Sage Creek sheep company, Mr.. Waite,
Mr.. Thomas, or any ore else in that sec
ton, than they had with the fierce contests
Of the same kind in the Sun river valley
before this city was heard of. Nobody
knows this better than the editor of the
boom pamphlet, but in the hope OF Great
ing a prejudice against Great Falls, he
perverts the facts and draws unwarranted
differences But the woolgrowers of
Montana, who are an intelligent, level
headed lot of men, will not be caught
with such chaff. Sentiment of this
kind will have no more effect than the
sentiment Of going from ten to thirty
seven miles farther to market on the
of and to please "the
secretary of the association y

Fort Benton and Great Falls have n
territory in common which will be So
cured by that place which makes the in
JUDGEMENTS more desirable Benton Wool

Exactly. But Great Falls has the adj
vantage of being more centrally located
with reference to the sheep districts of
Northern and Eastern Montana; of being
easily accessible from every point, and of
Offering better facilities for the handlinp
OF wool, the railroad and wool warehouse

from these advantages, Great Falls pro-
poses to make the inducements" to wool
growers equal to those of any town in
Montana.

The Benton boom pamphlet, deceptive
ly called the Wool Grower, says that
Choteau wool will be shipped from Ulm.
1t Is quite likely that woolgrowers
Will take their clips to station where
there are no facilities for handling it, and
where 1t would be necessary to paya local
rate over the Montana Central from that
point to Great Falls, to say nothing of
other numerous disadvantages! Yes, this
IS very likely, and still it is remarkably
good sense compared with some of the
visionary schemes Of the crank "secretary
of the association"

FROM THE WEST.

A letter received this week from David
Wilkerson, Elm Creek, Nebraska, shows
that the recent severe winter was a cause of
much discomfort in all sectors. After tes-
tifying his appreciation of the CHRONICLE in
kind words and CASH, he gives the following
insight into everyday life in that country.
He says that farmers are very busy getting
spring wheat and oats planted and that all
kinds Of farm work is nearly month behind
because Of the cold. Billiards are not now
feared but the gentle and frisky cyclone is
an element which is liable to amuse with
its zephyry presence.
The West exercises charm over farmers,
that binds them to her and where they once
become established they seldom return to
the East to stay. Iu expressing sympathy
with the sufferers in the recent Eastern biz
zard, Mr.. W. ends by saying, that to get a
good idea of genuine blizzard, it must be
experienced OH the treeless plains. He
says: we have had coal famine here this
winter, the railroads could not keep a sup
ply on hand and what was brought in was
mostly used in the towns. The farmers had
little chance to get any, those having plenty
Of corn did not suffer, for it is cheaper to
burn corn than coal. There were many FAM
lies however whose crops had been destroy
