We wish to refer you to our report OF

A great deal of sickness during the last

be in position to attack fire with some

of the principal objections raised by the

the possibility that the enormous rate of

The adoption Of the Cooper water

vote on Monday is another evidence that
the citizens of Bozeman have awakened
to a thorough realization of the fact that
the utmost harmony is necessary, if our
city is to keep pace with other towns of
the territory. 1t is also an evidence that
the people of Bozeman are determined
to stand by and assist those other citizens
who have the courage and energy to in.

the entire community. We consider the
most important step that our citizens
have taken for many years. It insures
the early building of a commodious
hotel, with proper and healthful sewer

eral health of the city. and provide us
with an pie fire protection. With the

A LAME EXCUSE.

The Courier says that the county COM
missioners should not have prosecuted
Probate Judge Carson. In other words
they should have allowed him to walk off
with $4,000 which the law said was not
his. Is this what our people expect of
the county commissioners? The Courier
evidently forgets that Mr.. Carson offered
special inducements for squirrel hunters
to bring skins to him and by this means
turned the trade to himself,
There may he those in the county who
believe that Mr.. Carson, has been wrong.

bank until the matter was decided, but
preferred TO haEdle it himself, with the
results not absolutely necessary for us to

MIR. Carson's nomination from a Demo

against the repeated efforts OF the

For the first time in many years wheat
brought 81 per bushel at Minneapolis
last week. All the whea. markets of the
United States felt the impetus and a cor
responding rate was made, ever as far
east as New York. 1t is now assured
that this is to be a season of high prices
for the eastern farmer but whether the
farmer of the Gallatin valley is to feel
the great improvement in prices remains
to be seen, certainly he has not as vet
done sn. The reason for the rise in
prices can easily be seen. The old
wheat has been all marketed and the
new crop is everywhere short. Not alone
in America has the crop of wheat been
short, but IN every other country with
the single exception of Russia. The lead
ing millers and wheat dealers Of Mime
sofa do not hesitate 10 say tina America
will need almost every pound of wheat it
has raised this year, and that the surplus
will not be of sufficient quantity to ex-
port. Under these undeniable conditions
then it seems that our farmers who have
any amount ofwheat to dispose of, should
hold to until spring at least, no matter
how fiattering the prices may be in the
meantime. The profit that will accrue
to the farmer will most assuredly discount
the money he will have to pay as inter
est, aud we earnestly trust that those who
have made up their minds to store their
grain will stick to ,heir good intentions.
In Dakota and Minnesota the best Of feel
ing exists among the farmers who are
obtaining the best of prices for their
grain product. The same feeling ought
to exist here, as il is nonsensical to pre-
sumo that n man or d few can keep the
price down, when such a condition exists
in the eastern market.

number Of acres with more than graft
flying results. Every year has demon
strated beyond the shadow of a doubt
that the grain can be successfully grown
with a slight additional care. The price
has been good and the grain bought,
often, before the crop WAS tlircshed. We
hope that this condition %! affairs will
be taken advantage of and almost every
farmer next year devote his energies to
barley raising. The present price of oats
which at best has only II limited market,
confined within the boundaries of this
territory, ought to carry Il lesson to the
farmers and directly to the barley crop
as the means of assuring them a profit
on their product, with Il lively market.

THE RED BLUFF DISTRICT.

Ne again take pleasure in ealing at
tention to the series Of mining articles
on the Red Bluff Mining District, c"ntig.
Gus to Bozeman. We believe that these
letters are the hest descriptive articles
on mines and mining ever written in this
both by experience and study but coupled
with this is II ripe scholar in everything
else. The graphic descriptions of the
Red Bluff mines. their past and present
history has been, A. we believe. faithfully
and Faithfully portrayed. Good, sound
reasons have been given as to why SO
many mines arr idle and the means for
making this one of the best camps in
the mountains has been advanced. We
trust that the miners of Red Bluff have
appreciated our efforts to get at the bot
tom facts and present them to the public
in readable and interesting form and
while we confess that this matter was
not i%naugurated by US with a purely un
selfish view, it mist be conceded that
the mine Of Red Bluff will obtain
more benefits from it than are derived
by is. The only souroe of revenue from

abundant evidence at our command as
to their entire reliability. We now feel
justified In stating that it has been con-
clusively proven that an ore carrying ten
dollars a ton in gold can be handled at a
profit.
Every rejecting nan must see that
VI are on the v of a great change that
will bring Montana a long ways ahead Of
all the mining states and territories and
it now seems as though Red Bluff will
pioneer in this as she did IN the early
days of quartz mining. All it needs is
for its advantages to be shown apanl the
CHRONICLE is engaged IN that laudable
enterprise with success, as can be attested
by the number of letters received from
prominent eastern mining men whose
attention have been called to the series
of most excellent and trustworthy letters
which have appeared in these columns for
the past two months.
