Montana Letter.
BY REV. H. CLAY FLEENOR.

Ed. Register-I will now write few
lines, according to promise.
Well, I have not been scalped by the
Indians yet. I saw plenty of them,
however, as passed through the Paca-
tello Vallty in southern Wyoming.
They still dot the country with wig
vans and paint and dress their person
in the wonted style of a real savage.
Civilization, wrought out by higher
and more progressive race, seems to be
rapidly encroaching upon them. The
last echo of the war.whoop is dying
away among the mountain cliffs. The
dance is one of their chief delights.
Some of the tribes dance at funerals.
Sometimes they will sing and dance
all day and all night until they think
that the spirit Of the deceased has safe
ly arrived in the far of land. But with
the vast white population here the
Indians are becoming insignificant.
Soon the proud wave of Christian pro-
gress and civilizatio will Dissolve their
uncouth customs and institutions and
they will take rank and file with the
more elevated race of men or else will
take up their abode in the mountains
and there die martyrs to their customs
and mode of life.
/ will now give partial description
of the country and some of its natural
resources. The Gallatin Valley in
Montana is % by 80 miles. Last year
there were four million bushels of
wheat threshed within it's bounds.
This may seem incredible to some of
our Southeast Missouri farmers, but if
you do not beIieye it just get ON Jay
Goald's iron horse and come and see
The finest vegetables / ever saw grow
luxuriant in this valley. Bozeman is
the chief city of the valley. It has
population of 5000 or over. The busi-
ness houses are built mostly of brick.
There are two large and eommodious
public school buildings; also, q high
school, which seems to be doing
thorough and efficient work. There
are seven chnrches-two of them are
