Prices may not reach dollar bushel
in Chicago this year, but there is gen
eral conviction that wheat will command
high figure at home and abroad. 1t
will be high enough to pay the farmer
and yet not be burdensome to the home
or foreign consumer. With this good news
comes statement that President Hill
will make through rate on wheat from
the Red River to Buffalo, N. Y, of Is
cents per hundred pounds. This rate
would give further impulse to grain
growing in the West and would hold all
competitors at home and abroad in check.

Alderman Todd is on the war path. He
finds traces of a deep, dark conspiracy to
keep back the River Press from its Hell
ena readers. He is cloth to believe that
there is a man on the whole line of the
Manitoba so lost to shame and so stepped
in vice as to commit such desperate
act" Despite this reluctance, he has
come to the conclusion that some one
does "the hiding act" Still he mingles
mercy with anger. He exclaims: "If he
is ever caught at it may God forgive him,
though it would exhaust the whole plan
OF salvation to save him from the punish
ment he deserves" We have vindicated
Great Falls. Now let Shergold look out.

A MLsREPORT CORRECTED.

The Tribune took little stock from the
first in the report set aflot by the St.
Paul Dispatch that James. J. Hill was
about to resign the presidency of the St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba railroad
1t will be seen by the telegram appended
that the report has no foundation at all
Mr.. Hill will remain at the head of the
Manitoba system which was never more
furnishing and powerful than at present.
While entitled to season Of rest he will
remain at his post and continue to dis
play mastery ability in. directing the of
fairs of the company whose system ex-
tends from Great Falls to Lake Superior
and from St. Panl to the Missouri
which it has crossed on its way through
south Dakota. .".
Mr.. Hill has his vast business so sys-
tematized and in such good hands that he
can resign or take vacation without
impairing the prosperity of the railroads,
the cities or the other enterprises in
which he is concerned. Nevertheless, it
will afford personal qualification here
that he is still at the helm and will re-
main there.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 81.

the report of Hills resignation.

It will be seen by Col. McCutcheon's
letter, that twas all a mistake. This vindi-
Gates the course of the Mckay wing who
came out squarely in defense
Of Cascades rights and were
not silent awaiting the Colonels
the return from conferences with Blaine
Harrison, and the great and lesser lights
of the republican party. Now there will
be general chorus that the position
which the Tribune took as to Cascades
rights and duties was right. Nothing
succeeds like success.

CHLNA'S ATTITUDE.

In dealing with China the United
States has shown much consideration for
that effete and repulsive nation. We
have endeavored to conduct our relations
with her on an amicable basis, despite her
reactionary policy and her general dispo-
sition to treat all foreigners as barbar-
ians. We are the only great power which
has not forced the Chinese to throw open
their ports to our commerce. We have
paid them annually immense sums for
tea and silk without attempting, like
England, to compel them to buy
opium or any other commodity in ex-
change. Our government. has made
prompt amends for the i'll treatment Of
Chinese subjects and has afforded ample
protection to thousands Of that race, de-
spite the manifest injury which they have
inflicted on San Francisco and other
places on the Pacific coast.
Despite all this courtesy, China has
seen fit to reject the treaty concluded
voluntarily with her own minister in this
country. That treaty simply sought to
regulate the restrictive measures which
the American people demand. 1t con-
tanned no provisions Of which China had
any right to complain. 1t simply as
serted rights which China herself exer-
ised until British and French cannon
compelled her to act with common court
esy to other nations. Under these cir
cumstances the rejection of the treaty is
an unfriendly act which should be met by
prompt call for an explanation. Mean
while the country will expect that the
laws against Chinese immigration shall
be rigldly enforced.

The Rocky Mountain Husbandman
takes this hopeful view of railroad pro-
gress toward Montana: "The watchword
of the far Rocky Mountain west is "prog-
ress." Increased development means in
creased trade, and increased facilities is
but the key to greater development.
Therefore, the end is not yet. Soon three
great transcontinental lines will not be
able to do the business of the territory,
anyhow they will not have the opportu-
nifty of doing it. The close alliance of
the Northern Pacific with the Wisconsin
Central and the sympathy existing be-
tween the Manitoba and Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy renders it necessary
for other trunk lines pointing westward
from Chicago to depend on their own re-
sources and quite a number have their
western terminus far out on the great
plains. The Chicago & Northwestern has
been hating for a year at Buffalo, Wyom-
ing, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
is almost on the banks of the mighty Mis-
souri,, while the Rock Island under the
name of the Minneapolis s. Pacific is
pushing across the Big Muddy. Several
lesser systems are also pointing Montana
wards though they are not quite so tar
advanced as those mentioned, into the
great Empire of Rockies. Next year we
are assured that two Of these great sys-
TENS of railway will start with lightning
strides for Montana and the Pacific coast"
These westward movements confirm the
observation made here by Major Magin-
mis- that all the great northwestern trunk
lines will seek the Pacific coast by way of
Montana.

Mexico is unfortunate with her sma

Mexico is unf ortunate with her small
currency. The government gave Major
DE Gress, who served in Sherman's army,
the contract for nickel coin, but he died
before it was carried out. Subsequently
the attempt to place such coin in circula-
ton failed. Now in the south the peo-
pie caused riot because the merchants
refused to receive coin which has been
rendered light by long wear. Neither
the government nor the banks care to lose
by redeeming it. In the end, the govern
ment will doubtless provide relief.

THE .NOMIN ATION.S.

We were glad to be able to speak SC
favorably of the entire county ticket
nominated on Saturday. In new counties
the best men do not always come to the
front. 1t is only when their merits be-
come known that they receive that en-
couragement which most men need be-
fore venturing on the stormy sea of poll
tics. Cascade county has, however, man
aged to attract to her service competent
men, who, if elected, will fill their re-
spective positions credtably and held to
render this county prosperous and pro-
eressivc.
Each of the nominations on Saturday
was made on the understanding that the
candidate named would undertake in
person the duties of his office. Each
candidate is in fact tacitly pledged to
make the public business his chief occu-
patton. In saying SO we speak generally.
MI. Wetzel will not be expected to devote
all his time to the arduous duties of pub
lie administrator, nor will Mr.. TAYLOR be
asked to forego his law practice. But
neither will be warranted in transferring
his duties to n deputy, however light or
heavy they may be. What we say here
Tor illustration sake, applies to the whole
ticket. OF course, where clerical aid is
needed no objection ought to be offered.
but that is very different from the total
neglect of public duties, which is com
mon in states as well as counties. Tn
speaking thus we do not blame either

MINING INTERESTS.

MINING INTERESTS
Lively Times Reported From the Neil,art
Camp. %
This camp is livlier than it has been
any time since the Hudson Mining com.
pany closed down over year ago. A
correspondent of the Castle News says
that quite number of interests have
changed hands in the last ten days. M
Kane sold one-third interest in the I. X.
l.. to Chowen s. Burghardt of Great
Falls, consideration, $4,000, John Lind a
one-third interest in the Ingersoll, to
Chas. Crawford for $3.50; also one-third
interest in the Vulture for $500. These
are all fine looking prospects and the
purchasers will easily double their money
when the railroad heads for this place.
Two sub-contractors from Sand Coulee
were looking over the supposed route
last week, as also were two business men
from the Falls looking after some desiTa.
BILE lots that are offered for sale. Chowen
& Burghardt resumed work on the l. x.
l.. recently. Two shifts are at work.
Pat Foley has been running cross cut in
the Butte & Silver Reef, and reports a
rich strike-two feet of galena and 10 in
ches Of carbonate ore. The strike was
anything but a surprise to Pat, who ex-
pected to find no ore when he started the
cross cut. Dick Brennan has just finish
ed assessment work on the Creedmoor,
and 1t looks so well in the shaft that Dick
concluded to build shaft house and con-
tinue operations. Il"
a- MINERAL HILL DOING WELL.
The Judge lead, situated on Mineral
hill, fifteen miles east of White Sulphur
Springs, is rapidly developing into one Of
the best mines in Meagher county. Ex-
perienced mining men who have exam
ined it pronounce the property simply
wonderful. The three men engaged in
sinking shaft on the ore shute are said
to be hosting $1,000 worth day. The
old shaft was down to depth Of about
forty feet and gave an assay Of thirty
ounces Of silver per ton, which was quite
satisfactory, but the working men who
CHANGED to be picking along the course
of the lead, about eighty feet from the
old shaft, struck galena and sunk to see
the extent Of it, and have found an i'm
mense body. At last accounts the new
shaft was down fourteen feet and showed
six feet of ore, with well-detined walls
and splendid showing of galena at each
end of the shaft as it goes down. This
ore will average slxty-tive onuces in sill
yer and so per cent in lead, which is
probably better than any other mine in
the camp. There is on the dump over
thirty tons Of high grade ore, which is
being added to daily. This splendid find
is near the Legal Tender, Felix-Crescent,
Anna Maud, Black Hawk and Alice-all
promising mines. Ore has already been
shipped from the Alice and Crescent and
the dump of the Legal Tender has been
sampled and proven rich. With such
mines as these in one group Mineral Hill
cannot fail to become the leading mining
district in Montana. The Judge mine
alone, should it hold out to depth of 100
feet, will insure thriving camp. Ander-
son Bros. and Sam Snyder, the lucky
owners Of this property, will push devel-
opment for the next two months with all
dispatch.
