Harrison's friends are all very indig.
nant at the manner in which he has been
treated and claim a mere pretense was
made of giving him hearty support, and
that from the first it was not intended by
Elkins and his colleagues to permit the
Hoosier's nomination. They are in an
ugly mood tonight, and while coDfessing
their favorite's defeat, have no plans for
tho future. Probably they will swallow
their disappointment with as good grace
as possible and play for
SECOND PLACE ON PHE TICKET.
Elkins' programme of beating the reg
ular candidates one after another, thus
preparing the way for Blaine as a finality,
which has previously been described in
these dispatches. is being successfully car
ried out. Sherman fell by the wayside on
Friday and Harrison was beaten to-day.
Senator John Sherman telegraphed the
Ohio delegates at large Friday evening
that they could exercise their Judgment
concerning their future operations. To-day
he telegraphed a more explicit relief OF
ALL PLEDGES TO HIM.
Fixing claims a large majority of the
convention for Blaine and says that
Blaine can be nominated the momen he
gives the word. Other figures are not

forwarded hence by wagons. In like
manner the cattle, sheep and wool which
found their way to the Northern Pacific
at Bismarck or Helena now come here
for shipment. In both cases the
ordinary laws of trade and traffic
settle the matter. The wool traffic alone
of that region was nearly 100000 pounds
last season. The river traffic which was
largely for the service of this region also
employed a fleet of steamers throughout
the ummer. Hence we conclude it can
not be regarded as livery little"
We do not see how the Missouri river
can serve as a " barrier to the Manitoba's
invasion of the IN. P.'s cattle country in
northern Montana The Manitoba agents
went right into the Judith Basin last fall
and secured all the cattle business despite
that barrier" The two bridges at Great
Falls will also serve to break down the
s'barrier." No cattlemen will drive their
herds to the Northern Pacific when they
ldi oiIip tItCIIis Go ehS aooFS
show, more readily at Great Falls. Nor
will they any longer drive cattle to Maple
Creek on the Canadian Pacific when they
can ship them at Great Falls or Big San
DIV. The cattle traffic of northern Mon
tana belongs to the Manitoba because that
road can render the best service. The
n. P. might as well regard the field as
lost. The Manitoba line has only been
open since October last. 1t has already
compelled the N. ?. to reduce heavily its
rates for cattle and merchandise to all
points in Montana. 1t has acquired o N
troll of all the trade of northern Montana
and with the Montana Central will effect
the deliverance of Butte next summer. 1t
Helena by a better route than the
Northern Pacific and next spring will
make better time to that city. These are
stubborn facts which the Noathern Pacif-
ic must acknowledge to its cost. Ithas, as
Mr.. Hill said at Helena, rendered some
service but it must not claim the earth.

E FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, JANUARY IL, 1855.
Semi Weekly,
BENCH LAND FARMING.

Nothing is more certain than that with
people will come to northern Montana
prospecting for free homes and good
business opportunities, and that a large
per cent of them will remain to become
permanent residents OF the mountain ter
ritory. The fact that there is room enough
and opportunities enough for all, and that
this section has for the first time been adj
vertised to some extent, is an assurance
that there will be an influx of population.
The Manitoba railroad company has been
doing a part toward directing immigra-
ton this way, and in a special way to Sc
cure a class of colonists best adapted for
the climate and other conditions pre-
sented. This is just what is required to
promote rapidly the agricultural interests
of northern Montana. The valleys are in
the main already occupied, and the COM
ing settler must push out upon the bench
lands and make another section of the
"Great American Desert " blossom as the
rose. In Indiana, Illinois and other west
ern states, the pioneers settled lie the val
leys and in the timber, looking upon the
prairies with dread and regarding them
as wastes of nature. After some years
the settler was forced to go upon the
prairie, as a matter OF necessity, when
the fact was quickly demonstrated that
the "treeless tracts were garden spots
compared with the heavily-timbered re-
gions. So it will be in northern Mon
tana. The valleys being occupied, the
settlers must go upon the uplands, and
the experiment will prove that, under a
mistaken idea, the strongest and best
lands have heretofore been neglected.
We look to see hundreds of farms es-
tablished upon the bench lands of Cascade
county the coming season, and that in
general they will prove successful we
have not the least doubt. The Montana
farmer must not depend wholly upon
growing grain and vegetables, but must
combine that with stockraising on a small
scale-and nowhere in the country are
the conditions for :" mixed " farming more
favorable thar in northern Montana,
where free farms under the liberal pro-
visions of the land laws and free range
are open to the world.

TIE MANITOBA ROUTE.

"We are surprised to read in SO we'll
informed a paper as ssthe Portland Ore
gonian, a statement that this road (the
Manitobal parallels the Northern Pacific
all the way from Saint Paul to Helena,
and will draw most of its business from
the Northern Pacific" Thus says the
Northwest Magazine for January, which
proceeds to give a statement of the dis
lance Of the Manitoba track at various
points in a straight line from the nearest
point south on the Northern Pacific.
This statement shows that the distance
apart at Devils Lake is 100 miles; at Fort
Buford 80 miles; at Fort A%ssinaboine
216 miles. and at Great Falls 145 miles.
In a geometrical sense the lines are not
of the word, the Manitoba aud Montana
Central may compete with the Northern
Pacific for the Helena trade on the same
basis as if the lines entered that city side
by side. Great Falls, by the way, is only
81 miles from Helena, the nearest point
on the Northern Pacific, and not 145, as
the Northwest says.
The same magazine says: East of
Great Falls there is very little traffic
which the Manitoba can divert from the
Northern Pacific. It will take a few cat
tie, but the Missouri river is a barrier to
its invasionof the Northern Pacifie's cattle
country in northern Montana This calls
for correction. East Of Great Falls is the
rich grazing and farming country Of the
Judith basin. This populous region de-
rived its supplies either by way of Bis
marck and Benton or Billings and Helena.
In either case the Northern Pacific had
the long haul. Now the goods for the
Judith, the Shonkin and other districts
least of Great Falls come here and are

In Texas, where at Galveston alone
100000 pounds of wool are marketed,
the w~oolgrowers are up in arms against
the proposed abolition of the duty. They
demand protection against the Woolgrow-
ers Of South America and Australia,
where millions Of sheep are pastured on
public lands, or land worth only 25 cents
an acre, while the poorest sheepwalk in
Texas is worth So an acre. In New York
James Lynch, an old and experienced
merchant, says the duties should be levied
on the actual value of the wool.

We observe that the Manitoba railroad
is circulating letters from farmers in
northern Minnesota in order to make
known the merits of that region. The
Manitoba thus sets a good example to all
railroad companies. They should all
promote the development of the re-
gions which their lines traverse.

company asserts that it is entitled to 49,
100000 acres in Montana, it is obvious
that in the mountain region it would IN
terfere greatly with that freedom of ac-
ton which is essential to prospecting and
mining. Should a miner find gold or sill
yer on the company's agricultural land
he would not have to deal with Uncle
Sam, but with a corporation which would
demand its pound of flesh in like manner
as it imposed hare terms ON the buyers of
farm lands. Helena should take the
stronger and higher ground that the Nor

THE NEW ROUTE.

The 500 route is now open for bust
ness. Flour intended for Boston, New
York and England has been sent from
Minneapolis over this new road to Can
ada, New England and the seaboard.
This route passes from Minneapolis
through the center Of Wisconsin, touch
ing at the new town of Gladstone on Lake
Michigan. Thence it traverses part Of
Michigan and crosses into Canada at the
Sault Ste. Marie over a bridge which has
been built this year at considerable ex-
pense. In Canada the trains proceed
over the Canadian Pacific and allied lines
to Boston or New York. The distance
from Minneapolis to either place is
shorter than by way Of Chicago, which
has hitherto been the gateway through
which northwestern products found their
way to the seaboard when navigation
closed in the great lakes.
The opening of this new route has
caused much rejoicing in Minneapolis,
where it is expected to overthrow the
control which Chicago interests exercised
over those of the northwest. Minneap-
oils millers feel that they have an
independent route to the east which no
Chicago combinations can affect.
The completion of this route concerns
Montana ima broader sense, because it will
impel the promoters of the Duluth, South
Shore 81 Atlantic to hasten the work on
the lines which are to connect Duluth
with the Canadian Pacific at the Sault
Ste. Marie. The Duluth line will have
advantages over the other because it will
start from a point which lies directly on
the commercial route from Great Falls to
the Atlantic. In seeking the seaboard,
the products of Montana will naturally
flow toward Duluth, where in summer
they will find water transportation, and
in the winter a railroad route to the
Atlantic. Neither Dakota or Montana
will send their products to Minneapolis
for shipment when the more direct route
lies open. The Manitoba system is being
extended in accordance with this assump-
While it cultivates business with
the twin cities and Chicago,it is every day
becoming the only system which is essen
northwestern in its methods, aims
and interests.

DuLI.-In Damascus township, Henry
county, O., May 4th, 1888, of tumor, Delilah'
Dull, aged 70 years, 13 days. wife of John
Dull. And now, Mr.. Editor, your kindness
and indulgence in the past in granting space
in your worthy paper to speak of the life and
character of the departed, gives us courage to
ask again for space to chronicle a few items,
relating to the death of one so widely known,
so highly esteemed. Early in the history of
this county, with her companion they entered
tered land, away from the river, and at that
early day were low and wet and seemingly
possessing but few commendable features;
but by industry and energy they changed the
forest and apparently low grounds to one of
the finest farms in the township. The de-
ceased was daughter of Rev. H. Kimber-
lin, of Wood county, o., deceased, and ear
ly in life embraced religion and united
with the q. B. Church, of which for many
years she was worthy member. 1t was the
privilege of the writer to often visit this
home and share their hospitality; am not
saying too much to assert that Damascus
township has lost one of its best citizens,
the home kind and tender mother, the hus-
band a loving wife. She will live in the
hearts of many.
The funeral services were held on Sabbath,
May 9Th, in the old Beaver Greek Chapel. It
was one of the largest gatherings ever con-
vened at the Chapel; after which she was ia
ken to the Beaver Greek cemetery to await
the resurrection of the just. ]. W. NJ.

How to Improve Your Property.

1t is easy enough to spend money for i'm
provements, but to spend it in such a Tay as
to get the largest possible remuneration, is
quite another thing. Money invested right
in paints and oils at Saur q Balsley's drug
and book store, will perhaps bring the largest
returns, when you wish to put it on the market.
Buildings nicley painted on farm. will al
ways add from to 10 dollars per acre. Not
only the farmer, but the condition of the
farm, the quality of the sale, &C., is nearly
always judged by the condition of the build
ings and fences. II you have a house or barn
that you think needs painting, 60 to Saur d
Balsley's paint depot and have them make an
estimate as to the probable cost of the paint,
and we know that you will be surprised TO
learn how very cheap you can get it. This
house carries a large stock of all kinds of
paints, and is always ready to fill your orders
for anything and everything in their line at
manufacturers lowest rates.
