The Gun Club of Arizona Wishes 70 Stock that Territory With Them. Morning Oresonianl Mir. Herbert Brown, manager of the Arizona CITIZEN, Tues ID, writes to the Oregonisn on behalf of the Gun Club of
 that place as follows:
 I've have been told that Chinese or
 Japanese phessants have been success fully introduced into your state. We are anxious to try the experiment. here and are willing to pay well for the birds. Can you put us in the way of getting
 them? An early answer will oblise us much"
 (The Oregonisn is happy to inform the Tucson Gun Club that Mongolian phes- sants have been introduced into this state successfully, and that under cover Of . law passed by the legislature for
 their protection they have increased and
 multiplied SO extensively that in some parts of the Willamette valley they have
 become to be considered 6 nuisance. ID

Analyses Of the Sand Coulee steam coal

guarantees that the coal will not crumbIe

"Mr. Wernecke, what has been your *

MI. Wernecke.
"In California" he replied, sin 1874 it
was thought that crops could not be raised
on the uplands, far out on the prairie or
sandy desert, as it was called, without
irrigation. Messrs. Ship, Sanders and
Prof. Isen, who were good authorities,
concluded that in the dry regions wheat
crops would fail n year in three and
that garden stuff could not be raised at
all. The professor, however, knew tina
fine earth is a non-condnctor. So he
began early in the spring to till the
ground in his garden, rendering the clay

THE HOTTER LUMBER COMPANY.
While they did not have their mill here,
the firm of A. NJ. Hotter & Bro (Which
was succeeded by the lumber company
is the pioneer numbering concern Of this
section. In 1881. long before Great Falls
was ever thought of, Hotter & Bro. estab-
lished a lumber yard at the mouth of
Sun river, directly opposite the present
city of Great Falls. From this plant they
supplied Fort Benton and the entire
north portion of tho territory. There was
then Il vast amount ii ~freighting between
Benton and Helena, and the large teams
returning empty from above would load
with lumber for Benton, it being but ii
few miles out of the way to go by the
lumber yards. Soon afterwards they also
established yards at Sun River, Jlidia
and Tim anJ did 4 large business through
this northern country. Mr.. Charles Veg
nef. of this city, was then as he is now,
general manager of the firms business,
and to his energy and good management
is due much Of the success achieved.
In 1885 the firm moved into Great Falls
and established yards and a planning mill
here. On March /, 1887, the Hotter Lum-
Der company was organized with a CAPT
tai of 100000, of which A. NJ. Hotter is

OUR COAL INDUSTRY.
The Daily Shipments will be 1900 Tons
Within a Year.

As the iron is being rapidly laid on the
Sand Coulee branch of the Montana Cen
trail railway, we are reminded that the
coal industry of Great Falls and vicinity
will soon assume Importance. and ere we
aware Of it almost, grow into vast magni-
tude, adding greatly to the fame and pros
perity Of the cataract city.

and with such Il voucher it is safe TO say
the announcements made were no wild

other interesting facts set forth by Mr..
Hill are these:

On the completion Of the Sand Coulee

the daily movement is estimated at 1000
tons.
From another source, and the highest
direct authority We learn that these fig
ures are under rather than over the actual
estimates. Gu. informant considers that
there is no doubt whatever that in less
than II months the output of the Sand

THE LUMBER BUSINESS.
Two Enterprising and Important Estab-
lishmeIlts.

Although apparently remote from tim
Der, the lumber business at Great Falls
has been an important one since the estab-
lishment of the town, the mighty Mis-
souri, furnishing direct and easy cosnmu-
n~ication between the timber districts and
this point, where there has beer a large
and constant demand for lumber. The
r. FALLS LTMBER COMPANY,
composed Of Ira Myers, of this city, and
E. G. Maclay, Of Benton, 0he former
being the manager), was the first in the
field with their mill and nave built up a
large and i%ourishing business. Mr..
Myers located here in 1884, when there
time had a temporary mill in operation TO
furnish lumber for the young but grow
ing town. His faith in Great Falls from
the very beginning was almost withous
limit, and in the spring of 1885 he put in
the extensive plant that has lone service
since, having a capacity Of 10000 feet a
day. The timber was secured in the Belt
mountains, either along the banks of the
Missouri or Smith river, and thence was
driven down the streams to the mill. The
cutting was done during the winter
months and the drives made early in the
spring. Recognizing the fact that tn
demand for lumber at Great Falls the
present and succeeding seasons will be
greater than ever, Mr.. Myers has put in
extra power, having now an S0-horse
power boiler and engine which gives his
mill a daily capacity of $4,000 TO $4,000
feet. In connection with the mill is a
complete planning mill and they also make
shingles, lath, %mouldings and all kinds
and dimensions of finishing lumber. 1t
is the most extensive plant of the kind in
Montana, east of the main range. Besides
furnishing lumber for others to build,
Mr.. Myers has erected a number Of tene-
ment houses at Great Falls and will
build from ten to fifteen more this sea.

result that the earth retained the moisture

everything he planted, even watermelons,
grew there without rain or water, from
April to August
"How was it elsewhere on the Pacific
coast?"
I'm 1878, | wandered into the Walla
Walla valley. AT that time 500 wagon
loads of grain was delivered there daily
on the average. There was no transpor-
tation except DR.. Bakers railroad
and the Columber river, costing SO cents
per bushel 20 Portland, The raiser got
from % to 10 cents per bushel."
"In 1878 and 1919" continued Mr.. Wer-
necke, 'the tide of wagon migration was
directed to that section, eastern Oregon
and Washington territory. 1t was believed
up to that time that no crops could be
raised beyond the foothills of the Blue
mountains. a belt 10 miles wide and 400
miles long. These lands were supposed
to be the only ones that would grow
grain proftably, but experiments on the
bench lands far out from the foothills
proved successful, and now from the
foothills clearto the Columbia it is nearly
one vast field Of grain. The flood Of
migration to Washington territory has
been directed to these bench-lands for
the last tsn years"
"How does that country compare with
this, Mr.. Wernecka"
'In no way except that the climate
is a little milder does that country surpass
the superior bench lands of the upper
Missouri and its tributaries, especially of
that portion Of the upper Missouri coun-
try of which Great Falls is the center "a
region which includes a large area of
bench. lands and creek bottoms, and is alto
