they have some twenty acres in, be-
sides having several acres rented to
other parties.
Potatoes are good; corn promises
well, but is needing rain.
Farmers were alarmed about the

but little damage in this neighbor-
hood.

oak post that had been nailed to the
tree years before and had been COM
plctely hidden by the growth. We
do not approve of the destruction of
these old historic trees, it looks to
us like vandalism. They should be
protected and preserved, even if
they are sometimes an inconve-
nience to the public.

..PANsY'' PAarr.-One of de most

"PANsY" PAsTY.4One of the most
enjoyable society events occurring
in this city for many years was the
"Pansy Party given in honor of
Miss Willard, the accomplished guest
of Miss Rebecca BarBee, at the res
idence of Dr. a. r.. BaFbee, ON last
Thursday evening.
The residence, lawn and summer
house was beautifully decorated and
illuminated, and looked so pretty
and inviting, that we could not help
gazing with profound admiration
upon the whole surroundings
The guests assembled about $50,
and we give list of their names in
the order of their arrivals.
Sam Couch-Florence Gilmore.
Jas. -SaIlie Armstrong.
Will strfbling-Maggie NeaIe-
= Nat Bryan-Georgia Tippett.
John Armstrong-Kate StribIing.
Lew Coueh-Mary Capehart.
Goo. Easthara-Lizzie Eastman.
John stortz-Blanche Tomlinson.
Lou. Pomeroy-Carrie Gilmore.
The gentlemen present without
ladies were Bern. Tippett, Lew.
Guthrie and Griff Smith, this city,
and Will. Giddings, of GallipoIis.
After paying their respects to the
hostess, the entire party retired to
the dancing apartments where they
amused themselves until 1885,
After again returning to the ele-
giant parlors, the card baskets were
passed, and each guest present made
their selections. As the numbers
were called, the ono's holding cor
responding numbers responded and
the couples were then one by one
conducted by Mrs. ]. S. Spencer to
the spacious dining hall, where re-
freshments were served.
In the miscellaneous card draw
ing just mentioned, the numbers
were ingeniously arranged SO as to
leave two gentlemen without es-
corts for supper
We would not think of giving
them away, but Sam Couch and
Lou Pomeroy can probably tell you
who were distinguished in this way.
Supper over, the joyful couples
returned to the parlors where they
were entertained with vocal and in
strumental music and solos by Miss
Florence GiImere and Miss Blanche
TomIinson. The guests departed
at P. NJ, all expressing their de
light for the manner in which they
were entertained, and again compli-
menting Miss Barbee and her guest,
said: Good night!

present we are lead to believe that
there must have been excursion

country. Mr. Long is born enter
tainer and those who attended from

kind hospitality they received at
the hands of Mr. Mrs. Long and
hope that many more such events

( TheD Drum Lummon mine now ranks

The Drum Lummon mine now ranks
among the greatest in the world. Ac'
cording to the annual report the total
outputfor the year 1887 was $2,O40,674.24
and the total expenses, including $780,
s55.23 on revenue account and SEQ, 766.3O
for permanent improvements, were 1885,
621.53. On December 31st, 1887, 1t was
estimated that there were in sight $751;
255 tons of ore reserves, including 73,467
tons of high grade and 1ae,7SS tons oflow
grade ore. Since the formation Of the
company in January, 1888, dividends have
been paid aggregating e413,s07, or over
$2,0OO,OOO. The amount paid during the
last six months of 1887 was e82,50O, or
$412,5OO. In concluding his report upon
the condition of the mine, Mr. r. T. Bay
liss says: II am in no way discouraged
by the low grade developments Of the
past SIX months, nor with the present re-
duced rate Of production. 1regard both
merely as incidents common to all mining
enterprises-unpleasant ones, certainly
but to me they act only as an incentive to
greater efforts"

OUR STOCK INTERESTS.

The stockmen who assembled at Miles
City on Tuesday were all able to report
favorably on the condition Of their stock
The association itself has about 300 mem
bers and is in good financial condition
The secretary states that Wyoming, fol-
lowing Montanas lead, has created a
board of stock commissioners; that our
borders are we'll provided against the in
PRODUCTION Of diseased cattle and that the
Canadian customs officials have made no
! seizures this year. Mr.. Harrison was
also able to state that the competing
railroads had made voluntary reduc-
ton" of one third the former tariff rates.
The reduction was really entirely due to
the Manitoba, which took the lead in the
matter and thus compelled the Northern
Pacific to follow suit. The Northern Pa
cifc is not in the habit OF making "vol-
untary reductions" The excellent cars
and prompt transportation which the
Manitoba provided also merited special
mention.
Asregards transportation this year, no
promise of lower rates was held out by
any of the railroad agents, but Colonel
Malone of the Milwaukee said they
would be no higher. The Manitoba
showed its progressive spirit by offering
to use any cars which the convention
adopted. Mr.. Power made plea for the
improvement Of the waterways, holding
that without such Improvement the steam
boats could not compete with the rail
roads.
Better prices are only needed now to
make the stock industry flourish. At
Chicago the receipts are still large and
the prices low, but this cannot last. In |
the opinion of experienced cottlemen the |
beef industry will be prosperous before
long.

COMING CONVENTIONS,
The Work Which is Mapped out for the
Political PARTIES


Political Parties.
In less than seven weeks the demo-
cratic convention will meet in St. Louis
and the campaign will be fairly open.
This month and the early part Of the next
will be devoted to the choice of delegates.
In this territory the democratic commit
tee will meet in Helena on Monday next
to name two delegates and two alternates
to the national convention at St, Louis.
There will then be rest in democratic
politics until the election of delegates for
the territorial convention. The conven-
lions to nominate county officers will also
occupy attention late in the summer. The
committee has taken no action as vet in
regard to the date, but it will probably be
held in September. The country pre-
cincts are not likely to name their repre-
sentatives on the county committee for
some time, as the farmers are busy, but it
is expected that there will be full rep
resentation by the end of next month.
h The, Republican County Convention
will be called by Judge Rolfe probably
early next month, as the Territorial Con-
vention meets at Livingston Nav 10. The
convention here will elect three delegates
to the Territorial convention, which will
be composed of 90amembers, represents
non being partly based on the Republi-
can votes. The Territorial convention
VIII be held later. 1t is believed that
Great Falls will have a strong claim for
that convention, as Livingston has been
selected for the other.

There is quite a rush from San Diego
to Lower California, which has hitherto
been regarded as an arid region that was
good for nothing. Richard Day, an ex-
pert, says that theveins average from to
80 feet wide and are principally compos-
ed of free gold in white quartz, which as
says from $500 to $4,000 per ton in gold
and on account Of being free gold is cas-
lily worked. He also says that the placer
grounds cover thousands of acres and ar e
composed of gold quartz rich in gold
dust and nuggets. The chief camp is
back of Ensenada and has moderate
supply of water. The California miner
who has been waiting for something to
turn up will doubtless visit this new
found land.

SUBURBAN. PROPERTY.

1t will be seen by the real estate adver
tisements that there is fair amount OF
acre property in the market which can be
had on reasonable terms. Such land has
increased in value and is bound to in
crease still more so as the town advances
in population and wealth. In larger
cities suburban property Of this kind has
| become a favorite investment and has
paid liberal profits. Streets and a venues
in st. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago,
which are now III the hearts Of these cities,
were once suburban and subject to entry
as public land Railroads and street cars
render such property valuable, because
| when people can go there readily from
the business centres they find it desirable
to live away from the turmoil of the town.
In Great Falls suburban property must
appreciate rapidly in value The town is
laid out on broad scale which distributes
the population over wide area. The
plated districts which the Townsite Com
pany is about to place on the market will
extend the residence districts almost to
the limits Of land which is now offered in
acre lots. This proximity to plated dis
tricts always makes the suburban districts
more valuable either for residences or
for business houses and factories.
While the city does its part toward en-
HANGING the value of suburban property,
it should stipulate that all additions shall
conform to the streets and avenues al
ready plated. In some towns this has
been neglected, and as the result there is
lack of uniformity which is injurious to
all concerned. When it becomes the set
tied policy of the city to incorporate only
such districts as are in accordance with
theigeneral plan, no property is likely to
be plated otherwise, for the advantages
Of water mains, light and police supervis-
ion are too great to be despised.
