HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

A couple of old citizens have called
our attention to some of the reasons that
have led up to the existing fight between
the so-called Billings, Clarke Fork and
Cooke City railroad and the Rocky Fork
people. You see," said one of our in
formants, several OF us located the coal
lands on Rocky Fork in 1888 and bonded
them TO the projectors of the Rocky Fork
road. These parties run line the win
ter of 1884 from near Laurel to where
the post-office now stands at Red Lodge.
Just before we got our money for our
lands lot of Billings fellows went up
there and jumped part of the claims.
They had a bill in Congress for right
ot-way up Clarke's Fork and branch up
Rocky Fork. Claim jumpers are about
as much respected in mining camps as
horse. thieves, and get about as much
sympathy. Well, they jumped the claims
and at once proposed compromise ; but
the Rocky Fork fellows amt built that
way. Instead, they went to Washington
and had bill of their own introduced,
got it through and have been to work
this winter grading the road. The last
heard of the Billings crowl they were
holding the bag and hadn't got a snipe.
Now they have the old bill in Congress
again and the other day it run up against
something, consequently the howl of the
injured innocense(0 Why they are
worse than lot of bull calves on round.
up. Do think the Rocky Fork men
are fighting the Billings bill? Oh, no
of course not. You would not fight the
crowd that tried to rob you would you?
Oh, no! Ifa man hit you in the right
eve wheel the left into line also. No, l
shouldn't think that the Rocky Fork
men would do anything mean but it is
my candid opinion that if the Billings
crowd ever get their right of-way bill
through, it will be after everyone of the
Rocky Fork fellows are dead. Pretty
good stayers these Rocky Fork boys.
This is where the fight began, where it
will end only time will tell. Claim
jumpers don't generally get much en-
couragement in Montana except from
pilgrims aud those who want to steal
something themselves"

The Great Yearly Act.

A mortgage on the franchise of the
Billings, Glark's Fork 4 Cooke City rail-
road company, in favor of the Farmers
Loan and Trust company, of New York,
has been filed for record with County
Clerk and Recorder Van Horne. The
mortgage is for 50 600 900, and indicates
a route from Billings, along the Yellow
stone and Clark's Fork river, through
Fremont county, Wyoming, to Cooke
City, in Gallatin county, Montana. The
instrument bears date of January l +, 1887,
AMI is no doubt the same mortgage that
was twice filed for record in Yellowstone
county, and will continue TO be filed
yearly, or as occasion may require. No
right of way has yet been secured for the
proposed road through the Crow reserva-
tion, and it is improbable that congress
will grant one so nearly paralleling that
of the Rocky Fork company.--Enter'
prise.

NEW GOODS.
CAR LOAD LOTS.

Last Thursday we received a car load
of new goods. We should have been
glad to have held for the ladies what
might be termed, an Eastern Opening"
But freights are SO uncertain, that they
come on us unexpectedly, and we have
to forego the pleasure of opening days.
We have placed this large lot of early
spring goods on our shelves, and shall
take great Ileasure in showing them.
The new goods comprise portion of
nearly every department in our store,
and we are sure that they have been
selected with such care and good judg-
ment that they cannot fail to p'ease the
most careful and fastidious buyer, and
although manufacturers prices have ad-
yanced on nearly everything, We are
marking our goods, by reason of the
STRICTLY CASH system lower than
ever before. Everything is coming
forward with dispatch and in a very
short time we shall be able to show as
complete stock-and of the best makes
and fabrics-as can be found west of St
Paul. Almost every day we shall be
opening something new, and We respect.
fully invite careful inspection of both
goods and prices, whether ready to buy
or not.

You cannot afford to waste time in ex-
perimenting when your lungs are in
danger. Consumption always seems, at
first only cold. Do not permit any
dealer to impose upon you with some
cheap imitation of DR.. Kings New Dis

Because he can make more profit he
may tell you he has something just as
good or just the same. Don't be deceived

mcLEARY's SUCCESSOR.

On the 9th, the President sent to the
senate the nomination of Moses j. Lid
dell, of Louisiana, to be associate justice
of the Supreme Court of the Territory of
Montana, in place of Judge McLeary re-
signed. The CHRONICLE cannot enlighten
its readers further in this matter as the
man has never before been heard of in
this section. Bozeman people feel some-
what disappointed because a man from
this district was not appointed.

George Spring of this valley who
went east last December with John and
Hank Borders, arrived home on Monday
last accompanied by two eastern friends
who will remain in this valley. Mr..
Spring says that in Minnesota and Da-
kota the weather was severely cold on
his return and he was happily surprised
to find the people here walking about in
their shirt sleeves. He says that he has
been to the Atlantic ocean and has seen
no country that would compare favorably
with this. All the property he owns
has increased two-fold in value in his
estimation, since his trip. He says that
the CHRONICLE saved him from the in
sane asylum while he was at his old
home in Virginia. The people, on h 8
arrival naturally asked him about crops
and he truthfully gave them the facts n
the case. The people of course, took
him to be out of his head and had it not
been for the timely arrival ofthe CHRoN-
IcLR with Its tabulated statement Of the
crops raised last year, he says that he
would never reached the mountain S
again. He says that the CHRONICLE went
the rounds of the neighborhood until il
became 80 weak that person could not
lift it from the floor. George says that
the Borders boys were to come back witt
him but John Borders has become 81
facinated with an Tndiania young ladj
that he presumes the delay has beel
occasioned by his marriage.

WHY HE DID IT,

We have it straight that Judge Nc
Leary made out an order designating
Bozeman as the seat of the U, s. Court /;
and that the order was returned with
the name of Miles City substituted in
the handwriting of Judge DeWolfe. We
also learn that DeWolfe, who is single
man, was impelled to select Miles by
reason of the splendid hotel facilities
offered there, in comparison to those Of
Bozeman. Under these circumstances
we congratulate Miles on her wise fore.
thought in providing attractions that in.
crease her popularity.
