DIVIDED INTO SEASONS.
uDS are divided into seasons D

Tramps are divided into seasons There is
the tramp Of the summer. He may work in
the winter or the reverse He is happiest in
the summer, when deserted alleys, news,
gates and doorways, above all the bridges,
afford him rest and shelter. He is most mis-
cradle in the winter, when he, like the
woman vagrant, is driven to the casual
wards. In the long, cold, wet nights of
autumn he procures practical umbrella I'M
der some friendly portico, and thus may keep
little dry. which is better than to be soak
ing wet La spring time he haunts the mar

Before these the tramp stands in the very
| early morning With his hands thrust in

| tesque object.
he rambles in the dawn past the penny
and ha 'penny cocoa shops, occasionally paus-
ing at one From the grating fronting the
establishment issue the fumes Of boiling
cocoa, tea coffee and light breakfast vands
This Is sometimes his sole breakfast. He
feasts On the appetizing steam in long inhala-
tons Often passer by bestows on him
penny or two which he quickly invests in this
shop, fortifying himself thus for his long,
monotonous day. He does not necessarily
beg. His attitude is in itself mute petition
for aims. If he does beg it is with proud
depreciation: 'Sir, bestow on me the price of
a cup Of cocoa; ha'penny, if you please"
Seldom is such an appeal uttered in vain, and
so universal is politeness here that the poor
tramp bows and thanks the giver grandilo-
quentlv. He even thanks him if the coin be
refused.
Before the windows Of the pawnbroker's
shop the tramp may next be seen, gazing in
tently at the pledged loot. Poor fellowl
Who knows but that he may be casting
furtive chances at some unredeemed trinket,
once his, now put on sale. 1t fascinates him
TO keep thus to a thread even of personal

pearance, very gone to seedn in condition,
and he is very smelly person withaL His

Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-07-18

At the meeting of the corporaPs guard
of wool-growers at Benton the other day,
"the secretary Of the association read a
paper in which he tried to boom the III
dicrlous warehouse scheme into which
lie has led few Of the growers of Nor
thern Montana. He seeks to show that all
the railroads in the Northwest are stand
ing in holy dread Of the secretary and his
ware house and insists that the fight ~
must be kept up if every flockmaster in
the territory is sacrificed until the Mani
toba railroad runs it's line down into the
Benton bottom! This is the rub. Next
to this great consideration is that Of
massing all the wool in the Northwest at
Benton, even though it must be hauled
100 miles past equally good or better
markets on the line of the railroad. To
promote these great ends the secretary
pleads with tears in his eyes and asks
every grower to take block Of stock IN
the boom project. He concludes by
warning the wool-growers to take no adj
vice from commission men, wool buyers
or anybody else that is not directly inter-
ested, as the secretary is, in Benton town
lots. A vein Of richness permeates the
entire production, and it must be read to
be appreciated.

GOOD IMPRESSIONS,

Hon. Will Fl. Sutherlin's account of the
Montana Press associations meeting
abounds in good things about Great
Falls and its environs. He gives good
hint to seekers OF the picturesque in these
words: "We can not call to mind place
in all this mountainous country where
the pleasure-seekel or person in search
of recreation could spend day more
pleasantly. For the convenience of sight
seers a stairway has been erected with
side rails and resting places so that the
descent of something more than two hun
dred feet to the very waters edge at tile
foot of the great waterfall is made with
ease and safety. The perpendicular drop
Of the water, which extends nearly a
thousand feet from bank to bank of the
river, is thirty eight feet high. Standing
at the bottom and looking uE through
the never ending spray which, with the
presence of the sun, is transformed into a
rainbow Of huge proportions and mapni-
cent splendor, magnifed by the sound of
falling water equal to a thousand wooden
mills in motion, one becomes so en-
chanted that hours crowd themselves
into as many minutes and he is reluctant
to leave the spot"
Regarding the broad scope of Mr. Glib.
sons speech at the banquet Mr.. Buther-
lin says: "Paris Gibson, the founder of
Great Falls, in responding to the toast
"The Town of Great Falls" entirely for,
got his section, wandering away from his
subject, and took in the whole territory its
magnificent and unlimited resources

We trust that the proposed fair and
racing association will be organized at
once and steps taken that will warrant
the holding Of meeting this year and
next fall the best fair in the northwest.
This can be readily done if prompt action
is taken. The races here should be timed
to follow those Of Helena, Butte and
Deer Lodge. If liberal purses are offered
the horses that participate in the other
races would come here and the meeting
could be thus made grand success. We
hope that our horsemen will not let the
for the organization of the association
will be taken at once.

Great Falls is now in the full bloom Of
publicity. Here is the gratifying testi-
mony Of R. W. Waugh, Of the Winnipeg
Nor West Farmer, an observant farmer,
who came here with the editors of agri-
cultural journals. He says:
"On the Indian reserve at Fort Buford
on the Farm at Fort Assinniboine, and on
the rolling country round Great Falls,
1,075 miles west from St. Paul, we saw
evidence of the availability Of the land
for profitable culture. have samples of
grain from the farms round Great Falls
quite as good as any in the Red River
Valley, and this season anyway they are
full fortnight ahead of us. Isaw grain,
vegetables and flowers at Helena, 1000
feet above sea level, further ahead than
at St. Paul and the Gallatin Valley, though
sometimes requiring irrigation, is certain
~ very fertile. There had been abund-
ant rains, but suspect that as the season
advances some OF tile higher lands in the
mountains will be very dry and barren"
Mr.. Waugh observes also that Montana
has ''great and we'll proven stores Of min
eral wealth." He adds:
sThere is abundance Of excellent coal
within few miles of Great Falls, the
beautiful hills that lie some 80 to 80 miles
out are rich in gold, silver, lead and cop

Professor Patch adds chapter to the
early history of Montana in the account
he gives of the first school. He opened
school in Virginia City in October, 1868,
when the country was in the midst Of
war and Alder Gulch was crowded with
gold seekers, many of whom were law
less or disorderly. Since that time edu-
cation has spread in Montana. In addi-
ton to the pnblic schools are the College
Of Montana at Deer Lodge, the business
colleges Of Helena and ST. Peters Mis-
sion in this county. In education Mon
tana now displays as much zeal as any
commonwealth.

THE GREAT FALLS FAIR.

The proposal to establish fair and
racing association here meets with public
approval. The people Of northern Mon
tana have the means, the ability and ia
cilities to carry the enterprise into effect.
No one can doubt that the combination
Of fair and racing would be productive
Of great benefit to this region. The fair,
which ought to be fair in reality, would
afford an opportunity for dealing in cattle
and horses and sometimes in sheep. 1t
would accommodate both buyer and
seller The ranch owner would bring
here such stock or horses as he desired to
sell and the person who needed them
would be at hand to buy them. The
meeting might be made an old-tine fair,
with modern Improvements. Instead Of
searching among herds or bands for the
stock or horses which they needed ranch
men would wait for the fair. In like
manner persons who had stock or horses
to sell would wait for the fair instead Of
sending them to town when buyers are
on their ranches. Owners might make
known in advance through the press what
stock they would offer and thus attract
the attention Of persons in need of such.
The fair should be accompanied by
large display Of dairy products and min
erals. Horses, cattle and sheep should
also be exhibited whether for sale or
otherwise. Moderate premiums should
be awarded to exhibitors in each class.
The production Of butter and cheese, of
fruit and vegetables should all be encour.
aged by premiums based on careful
awards which would carry with them the
stamp Of public approval. Good house
keeping should also meetwi recognition
just now when bread making is regarded
as one Of the lost arts and the papers are
full of jokes on the young housekeepers
who ask for canvass-back geese, or make
similar blunders.
The racing would bring together horses
Of superior merit, fresh from the meeting
in Helena, Deer Lodge and Butte The
owners would find here sportsmen who
would appreciate fine horses and good
horsemanship, as we'll as honest rivalry.
As for the public at large they would up
hold the turf with as much enthusiasm
as those who frequent Long Branch or
Saratoga.
We observe that the Montana Live
Stock Journal seconds our motion in the
following gratifying terms: "The Journal
is pleased to note that the Great Falls
Tribune is agitating the matter of organ
izing fair and racing association at that
city. It strikes us that such an enter
prise would be not only source of much
profit to that place, but of great value to
the stockmen and farmers Of the sur
rounding country. The natural attractions
of the city and vicinity alone would draw
large crowds Of visitors, but combined
with the inducement held out by we'll
conducted fair and racing they would be-
come irresistible. The citizens of Great
Falls would consult their interests by
needing the suggestions of the Tribune,',

GENERAL MANAGER DEVLIN.

The Spring Valley Gazette gives in its
special edition a sketch Of Charles J.
Devlin, who is interested IN the Sand
Coulee coal mines. Mr.. Devlin was born
in st. Louis, Mo-, and was educated by
Prot. M. B. Powell and the Christian
brothers in their college at La Sale. He
became secretary and superintendent Of
the Union Coal company of Peru, ILL.,,
and held that position some years. He
was deputy county engineer of La Sale
county. Subsequently Mr.. Dey]in be-
came vice president and general manager
Of the Spring Valley Coal company, "Ev-
