THE LIE Sueur Sentinel seems to have
knowledge ON a matter that was rather
puzzling us:
The Mankato FREE PRESS, in its guIIess-
euss, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press is
giving much space to booming" Mon
tana, whereas it ought to aid in building
up Minnesota. The FREE Press ought to
know that the st. Paul paper has sucked
the orange dry, has taken nearly all the
No. l hard out of the Dakota soil, and is
feeding on fresh Montana pastures. The
Pioneer Press Is run for money.

The people of the United States are

Mr. Barney, of the Mankato Board of
Trade, estimates that S., 5O0, 900 worth of
products would be shipped on the river
annually and that freight rates would be
reduced 20 per cent. were the river
navigable.
Two bills have been introduced into
Congress, one to appropriate enough to
connect Big Stone Lake and Lake Ira
verse, and the other appropriating
$4,000 for improvements at Belle
Plaine.
At the present time all has been
done that was expected by the pro-
motors of the Minnesota river improve
ment. The next step is to obtain an APP
preparation to carry out the plan of inn
provement and the above bills, if passed,
will make beginning. The cost of the
total improvement will soon be made
up by saving in freight rates. Some
of the towns affected anticipate reduc-
ton of rates OF thirty per cent.
The idea of putting light draft steam
boat on the river has been frequently
urged and it would never do more good
than during the high water this spring.
1t would show what could be done and
would interest the people along the
river.

IMPROVING THE MINNESOTA.
Government Estimates on the Cost
of Making it Navigable.

Maj. Allen, United States engineer at
ST. Paul, recently made a valuable re-
port to his chiefon the practicabllity and
cost of making the Minnesota river
navigable from Mankato to its mouth.
The report has been transmitted to Con-
gress, which in its next river and harbor
bill may follow out the majors recon-
mendations. 1t has been found that
the navigation of the river by steam
boats drawing four feet Of water is en-
tlrely practicable and estimates of the
cost are submitted. The plan proposed
includes the removal of the snags and
the deepening of the water by lock
and movable dam at the mouth and by
other locks and movable dams farther
up the river. The dams are to be NOV
able so as to provide against danger from
foods which are common in the valley
of the Minnesota. This kind of dam has
long been successfully used in France.
The estimated cost is given as follows
for six locks and dams:

COwARDLY ASSAULT.
Baker City Democrat.

Baker City Democrat.
Yesterday forenoon Mart Flem-
ming brutally assaulted and beat Os-
car Johnson, the colored barber. Eye
witnesses to the affair say that Flem-
ming had no cause for assaulting
Johnson, and that Johnson was not
expecting or prepared for trouble at
the time. From what we can learn
it appears that Flemming knocked
johnson down, and with heavy
earthenware, iron-bottom spittoon, OF
at least twelve pound weight, struck
him on the head, cutting a deep scalp
wound and raising "goose egg OF
conspicuous proportions on his crani-
um. Not satisfied with the damage
already inflicted, he set about beat
ing johnson with his ponderous fists,
and attempted to kick him in the
face. Bystanders finally pulled Flem-
ming off and showed him out Of doors.
Here now was chance for Femming
to show his true nature, and he hur-
ried home as quickly as possible, got
his gun as he calls it, came down on
to Main street, met johnson, and was
doing his best to abuse him into
making some kind of an offensive
demonstration, SO that he would have
some kind of half way excuse for
shooting him, when officer Merritt
stepped up and arrested the coward
ly buffer.
The trouble occurred in L. Dur
KEGS saloon Mr.. Durkee says that
Flemming is man that he does not
want around his place; that he has
tried to get rid of his presence for a
long time, but without success. He
further says that Flemming is a big,
cowardly bully, and bad man gen.
orally. Yesterday when asked by
Flemmlng to go on his bond to keep
him out of Jail, Durkee replied: ~
wouldn't go on your bond to the
amount of a FIVE cent nickel, if il
would keep you out of the peniteu-
tiary." This shows plainly how Mart
Flemming is regarded by those who
would be his friends if he was not a
contemplate, low-down scrub.
The Democrat during the past
month has been making war on Mart
Flemming and his class. We have
told the people exactly what to ex-
pect if such characters are allowed tc
have their own way.

VIM. NJ. Bum, ex- Governor of this
Territory, now residing in Philadel-
phia, writes as follows of Idaho and
her resources, in the Sunday Tran
script:
"The real fact" said my old friend,
John O'Farrell, of Boise City, who is
the closest of observers and an erst-
while partner of John w. Macksy in
the Comstock, sis that the Territory
of Idaho is boundless storehouse of
wealth, and marvellous and une-
qualed landscape of beauty, won
derful sanitarium of health, vast
reservoir of exhilarating elixir of the
forces, energies. and enjoyments of
youth"
1t is with feelings of lively pleasure
the writer hereof turns backward the
pages of years and recalls the emotions
he experienced when the glories and
riches and natural wonders of this
favored demesne of the Northwest
opened like a new revelation before
his wondering eyes, filled his mind
and soul with the spell of their in
fuence. The very air as it swept
from mountain top, hillside and level
laden with the aroma of field, orchard,
blossom and garden exotic, brought
with it the inspiration of energy and
devotion to duty; OF friendship, love,
confidence, and of lofty undertakings.
Times may dull the sight, distance
drown the sound, but memory, al
ways faithful to her trust, will hold
the scenes, the friendship, the loves,
the gratitudes of two years. sojourn
in beautiful, healthful Idaho, a sacred
thing aside from the rude jarrlng of
the warning world-a bright oasis In

stances.

BLAcKFooT REPORTER, Jan. Goth:
Last Sunday and Monday mornings
the mercury exceeded its lowest rec
ord last week by several degrees.
Two or three thermometers registered
90 degrees below zero on both morn
ings, while others froze up solidly.
If this isn't cold we pass. . This
burg was not the only one out of
coal or fuel during the late lamented
unpleasantness. Every station on
the U. & N. except Camas were wall
ing for coal. On the 0. S. L. things
were no better. At Mountain Home
the citizens arose in their might,
headed off Shoshone coal train, and
detained it long enough to fill five or
six wagons. Captain Guyer, who
owns valuable mining property on
Wood River, and who has lately re-
turned from South America, is now
visiting Butte, Montana. He tells a
reporter up there of a wonderful
property in Peru, which is solid
mass of free milling gold quartz four
feet wide and six miles long. 1t runs
s35 and upward per ton. 1t is a big
mine. Blackfoot escaped a fuel
famine only by the skin of its teeth.
No coal could be obtained and no
wood could be hauled. 1t was a pit
iful, and at the same time exhilarating
sight, to see strong and dignified
men in the prime of life, like ourself,
for instance, laboriously bending be-
meath a gunnysack full of frozen ced-
ar which had been cautiously culled
in the dead aud dreamlike midnight
hour from-no matter where-with
the mercury at so or 60 below Cecero;
a pltiful sight, indeed, but it had to
be seen.

MOUNTAIN HOME RANGE AND VAL
LEY: The always generous people of
iSocky Bar contributed 5000 in cash
ior the relief of the unfortunate At.
ianta miners, Goble and Bostwick
49,. The Alturas has sufficient ore
now In sight in the mine to keep 80
stamps in addition to the so now
running, busy crushing day and
night for years to come. And next
summer there will be at least 40
stamps dropping on the Wide West
property, 30 or more stamps in full
operation at Pine Grove on the ST.
Louis Company's mine, to say moth
ing OF numerous smaller works, all of
winch will cause the employment of
SUI or 1000 men in and around the
old Rocky Bar, and as has been pre-
d'cted by us, one of the greatest gold
producing mining camps in America.
This is not idle talk but based up-
on actual results, as has been shown
during the last summer. Wood Riv.
or will now have to acknowled, 20 that
the famous Rocky Bar is the gold
producer of the Territory; and FL
more county is now foregone con-
cluslon. God speed the day.. :. "A
few days ago the editor of the Range
and Valley received by mail small
paper box, lined with tin foil, one end
OF which was covered with stamps
but it bore no postoffice mark to in
dicate from whence it came. Having
recently read of the sending of Gin
fernal" machines to parties in the
East, and knowing himself the for
fortunate possessor of several bitter
enemies, he felt somewhat 10th to op-
en- it from the top. So an incision
was cautiously made through the
bottom of the box, which exposed to
view something resembling piece of
fruit cake-which it proved to be-.
Within the box was note from our
old-time friend Thos. D. Wells, now
OF Dougherty's Station, California, in
which he stated that it was a piece of
one of the cakes of which we partook
70 years ago at his wedding in Jack
son, and that he and Mrs. Wells had
carefully preserved it for exhibition
at their silver wedding. The cake
retains its excellent flavor notwith-
standing its great age and has been
pronounced "just splendid" by various
parties who tasted it.
