Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-05-23

If, following military custom, we were
to issue an ''order of the day" relative to
the departure of the Sd infantry from
Fort Shaw, we would say something to
this effect: Great Falls rejoices at the
promotion of General Brooke, whose war
record and services in the regular army
have been so properly recognized. As
commander of Il neighboring post his re-
relations with this city have been mutu-
ally agreeable. Great Falls will also re-
member gratefully the other officers of
the gallant Sd infantry, who have all
manifested kindly feelings toward this
city, and made many friends here. Their
demeanor and the conduct of the men
under their command do credit to the
army Of the United States, on whose rolls
are the names of so many heroes. Spe-
cial mention is hereby made of the band,
which aided us so much in celebrating
the 4th of July last year. May Great
Falls and Fort Shaw always continue on
such good terms.

EXCURSIONS.

The success of the excursion last week
demonstrates practically how well adap-
ted this city is for conventions, political
or otherwise. AS regards location, it is
the most convenient place for the large
region north of Helena, and especially
those places in the Judith basin on the
one side and the Sun river country on the
other. These regions are increasing in
population and already hold the balance
of power in elections where the voting is
as close as it has been for many years
back In regard to the Northern Pacific
towns, our location is such as to promote
the convenience of those east or west of
Helena. When conventions have been held
in some of these towns and Butte, many
OF the delegates have had to pass Helena in
going to their destination, whether such
is Butte, Miles City or Missoula. 1t will
shorten the journey to turn the corner at
Helena and come to Great Falls, which is
only three and a half hours journey from
the capital, by excursion trains. Next
month when we will be in direct COM
munication with Butte, the advantages
will be still more in our favor. Passen-
gers from Butte and the tributary coun-
try will be able to join the throng at Hell
ena and come without change Of cars to
this city.
The Montana Press association, which
represents the combined Journalistic opin.
ion of the territory, has discerned the
merits of Great Falls as place
OF meeting, and will assemble here
this summer. The territorial com
mlttees which represent the political par
ties might wisely come to the same de-
cision. Instead of oscillating from one
place to another on the Northern Pacific
they should seek the inspiration which a
new city imparts and profit by our
picturesque surroundings in order to
combine pleasure with business.

WOODEN FACTORIES.

/ For the information of all concerned
in the wool industry we reprint from the
Montana statutes the chief provisions OF
m act to encourage the establishment OF
factories in this territory. The first sec
ton is as follows:
The first wooden factory that shall be
erected and operated in the territory OF
Montana Of proper construction and suf-
tcient capacity for the production Of
tlannels and blankets, shall be exempt
from all taxation for the term of six years
from the date Of the completion of such
factory; the said factory shall be deemed
completed at the time of manufacturing
the first fabric.
The act extends this privilege in y
broad, generous spirit as may be seen by
the second section, which gives this
broad definition to factories:
The term 'swoolen factories" used in
this chapter is hereby defined to include
and embrace the building or buildings
and land connected Herewith, together
with all machinery used in or about the
same, or in any wise necessarily connected
Herewith, and all water rights, bitches,
fumes, reservoirs. and all stock on hand
unsold, whether the same be raw or man
ufactured.
1t is further provided that the first
conner shall be given the preference: that |
six months shall be allowed "to complete
arrangements and obtain the necessary
for the erection Of said fac
tory Two years are allowed for
its completion. The spirit as we'll as the
letter of this act should encourage manu-.
to avail themselves of it. The
conditions are highly favorable for the
Of factory at Great Fails.
Water power, cheap fuel, abundance Of
WOOL, good home demand, with ample IA
illties for supplying other markets are
one of the strong inducements which
his city offers in addition to the act above
uoted. The manufacturer will have the
cid to himself long enough to become
ell established. He will not encounter
lie close competition which exists in the
ast and 1t will be in his power to make I
lie Great Falls brand popular through T
ut the northwest.

editors to smoke the calumet before they

4 WOOL MARKET.

With every desired facility for hand
ling and shipping, with as low freight
rates as any town in Montana, with com
mercial advantages unexceled in the ter
ritory, with good avenues of travel lead
ing in every direction, with no expense
or annoyance in the matter OF transfer or
ferriage, with a central location as regards
the sheep districts of northern and east
ern Northumberland Falls claims decid-
ed advantages this season as a wool mar
ket and shipping point.
The distance is favorable to Great Falls
over any other town from all the wool
districts of this region. Choteau is 81
miles nearer to Great Falls than to Ben
ton, making this city the natural market
Tor the wool of that great sheep district.
The same is true in greater of less de-
gree of the Judith and the other wool
growing districts, with the further advan-
tage that the roads leading to Great Falls
are all easy natural ones, devoid of hills
or other obstacles.
The iron wagon bridge at Great Falls is
now receiving the finishing touches and
will be completed within a week, The
immense wool warehouse, ample in size
to store the product of northern Mon
tana, will be finished June TO- The wool
buyers and commission men have nl-
ready served notice that they will be here
in numbers. Everything, in fact, points

The leading democratic state conven-
tions have been held without any notable
incident except in New York, where on
test questions the administration
"downed" Gov. Hill and his supporters.
In the democratic platforms the tariff
question is kept more or less in the back
ground and the administration meets
with strong approval. The leading re
ublican conventions have not changed
the situation as regards candidates. Ores
ham, who has no avowed supporters in
the Indiana delegation. has developed
strength in Illinois and Minnesota. Sher-
man has not gained support among the
politicians or people, while Depew en-
joys favor in New York. Blaine is not
as strong among the delegates as he was
in 1884, but the chaotic condition of
things must help him considerably while
it tells against the other aspirants AS re-
CARDS platforms the republicans are very
emphatic on protection and place that ques-
ton in the front. The republican con
vention which meets today at Livingston
is likely to give no instructions to its del
agates although if it were to "name the
winner" in advance of the Chicago con
7ention it would give Montana political |

st. Paul the young republicans had like
success in their convention. Minnesota
appears to be breaking loose from the old

Great Falls.
All possible will be done to make the
soiourn of the woolgrowers pleasant. We
have the best hotel accommodations in

the Tribune thinks it is, an association
will be organized to forward the interests
of the woolgrowers of northern Montana.

Gardening In the Evening of Life.

Gardening In the Evening of Life.
I would recommend to every man
especially in the autom of his life
to take to gardening If he has not al
ready experienced its pleasures. Of
all occupations in the world, it is the
one which best combines repose and
activity. 1t is rest in work, and work
in rest. It is not idleness; it is not
stagnation; and yet it is perfect quie-
tude. Like all things mortal, it has
its failures and its disappointments,
and there are some things hard to un-
derstand. But it is never without its
rewards, and, perhaps, if there were
nothing but successful cultivation, the
aggregate enjoyment would be less.
It is better for the occasional shadows
that come over the scene. The disci-
pline, too, is most salutary. 1t tries
our patience and tries our faith. But
even In the worst Of seasons there is
far more to reward and encourage,
than to dishearten and disappoint.
There is no day in the year without
something to afford tranquil pleasure
to the cultivator of flowers, something
on which the mind may rest-rest
with profitand delight.-Corahan Mag

Fretting and Working.

"Ah," cried he, show unfortunate We

But you seem to have a fine, healthy
crop coming up already; what are
these?"
"These," cried the other gardener
-"why. these are what I sowed imme'
diately after my loss."
"What! coming up already?" cried

Meph's Discovery.

In that beautiful suburb of Phila-
delphia known as Germantown lived q
beautiful little gray Syke terrier with
a very long name-Mephistopheles.
He was called Meph, for short, and a
remarkably intelligent dog he was.
At one time Meph's master, who is
we'll known physician of German
town, was i'll. In the middle of the
night the dog bounded to the side of
the bed, and, laying his paw upon his
master, endeavored to awaken him.
Having succeeded, he tried In various
ways to attract his attention to the op-
posite side of the room, repeatedly
leaving the bed and returning. Un-
willing to be disturbed, the invalid re-
NAMED some time without noticing
his little pet but the animal became
so importunate that the doctor could
no longer remain impassive. He
arose, and, following the dog to the
bay window on the other side of the
room, he found, to his astonishment,
that goldfish had leaped out of the
aquarium, and was painting, almost
lifefess, on the carpet.
Meph evinced much joy when bis
master restored the fish to its watery
home, and the doctor fondly caressed
Meph, who quietly returned to his
cushion-bed, seemingly perfectly salts.
fled with having performed his mission
and saved the life of the fish. He
must have evolved the idea that all
was not right-that the fish was "out
of its sphere" ."-,S. Nicholas.

Chinese New Year.

The Coatrier-Jouraaal gives very in
teresting account Of the celebration OF
the Chinese New Year in Louisville,
from which we take the following, and
specially commend the sentiment to our
Christian readers. Think of heath
en- not being allowed to participate in
the celebration of a national holiday
until all his debts are paid. But read
the article:
"Yesteaday was 'Yuetan,' the Chi
nese New Year, and it was duly cele'
brated with perfumed wood and fast
ing at the residence of Chang Kee in
the Law Building basement on Green
street, near Center. Si Done, who is
we'll known as the best educated Chi
naman in the city, being always en-
gagged as interpreter when one is need
ed, had charge of the ceremonies.
Among those present were Hop Sing,
Pang Sam, Sam Wah, Sam Chi, 81
Ching, Wah King, Woh Sing and
Wing Lee, the latter the oldest China
man in Louisville and the only one
who is not member of the Broadway
Baptist Chinese Sunday-school; he
declines to attend, declaring that he is
too old to learn. There was no session
of the school yesterday, as all the
scholars wanted to enjoy the New
Years holiday.
"Prcisely at the beginning OF the
New Years Day the Cinnamon bathed
in perfumed water, dressed in their
incest clothes and remained at home
all day, rejoicing in 'chuntsen, the
wine of spring.
"'Your new year, said he, dates
from Jesus Christ and is numbered
1887. The Chinese new year dates
from the reign of the Emperor of Chi
ma, Teeh-tze, Son of Heaven and is
numbered 13. We have good govern
ment, the laws are printed cheaply
and given to the people, and the Code
is 1900 years old. New Year is our
greatest festival; in China it is cele-
brated for whole month, with fun OF
all kinds, all day long. Here we have
only one holiday. Preparatory to our
New Year festival, every Chianman
pays all his debts or or he can not cele.
brate."

The Obedient Boy.

read a very pretty story the other
day about little boy who was sailing
= boat with playmate good deal lar
ger than he was.
The boat had sailed a good way out
in the pond, and the big boy said, "Go
in Jim, and get her. Itisn't over your
ankles, and I've been in after her every
time"
-""r daren't," said Jim. I'll carry
her all the way home for you, but /
can'tg III there she told me not to.
"Who's she?'
my MOTHER" said Jim, softly.
"Your mother Why I thought she
Wss dead" said the big boy.
.sThat was before she died. Eddie
and used to come here and sail boats,
and she never let us come unless we
had string enough to haul in with. I
amt afraid you know Pm not; only
she did't want me to, and 1t can't do
1t,
Wasn't that beautiful spirit that
made little Jim obedient to his mothe
even after she was dead.
