THE BORDER TROUBLES.

further news from the Mexican Dor.
der will be awaited with anxiety. The
alarm has been great. The appeals for
troops have been strong and urgent.
General Stanley appears to have received
full authority to send United States troops
to the aid Of the invaded city of Rio
Grande, and has doubtless sent some from
Fort Ringold. Governor Ross, of Texas,
has shown like readiness and has ordered
the whole force Of Texan rangers to the
scene of conflict. These rangers are dis
ciplined, daring men who will be of
much more service than the sheriffs, who
have been likewise ordered to repair to
Rio Grande city. The fight between Sc
bree and the Mexican editor, Garcia,
which has led to all this commotion,
could hardly have taken place under
worse circumstances for the peace of the
border. Rio Grande city, which the
Mexican mob invaded to revenge the
death of Garcia, is remote from railroads,
the nearest being at Laredo, which is
, about 100 miles from the town. The
Rio Grande, which is broad, shallow
river, has doubtless little depth at this
place, rendering it easy for the Mexicans
living in Camargo and that vicinity
to cross over. They outnumber the
American settlers at the Texan side,
which would tend to make them AFRO
giant and aggressive. The United States
troops are no nearer than Fort Ringold;
while the Mexican forces are likely to be
at Monterey, which is about 100 miles
away. Thus, the mob might have had
free play for some time unless troops hast
enedto the scene upon the first news Of the
outbreak, which they did not do accord
ing to present indications.
Grave consequences may result, if the
mob committed any excesses at Rio
Grande city. The Texan rangers would
be likely to pursue the Mexicans across
the river or to cross over to exact retalla-
ton if the invaders had already retreat
ed. The hostility which some Texans
feel toward the Mexicans is intense. 1t
will be difficult to restrain them from
hostile acts, if there be provocation.

Beerbohm, who is leading authority,
estimates, according to Bradstreet's, that
the worlds wheat crop is 164,0O0,00O
bushels below last years. He holds that
the countries which like our own, export
wheat, will be called on for 100000
bushels more than they supplied in 1887
49, But as these countries have short
crop themselves he calculates that their
exports will be 26,oOO,OOO bushels less
than last years. All this indicates plain
ly that prices will continue high. In
Duluth on Saturday, wheat for October
delivery closed at $1.0S4, which more
than realizes the farmers dream Of a dol
lar bushel ~

Prof. Anderson does good work in re-
futing as he did yesterday the sweeping
statement of the Northwest Magazine re-
lative to the need of irrigation in Monta-
ma. Mr. Anderson speaks from long ex-
perience and shows that the irrigation
notion which was never strong in nor
thern Montana, has died out because
ranchmen find natural moisture enough
to raise immense crops on our bench
lands as well as in our valleys. We are
pleased to gee that people go on tilling
the ground and "proving up" on new
homestead despite the statements re-
fered to.

THE FLOUR INDUSTRY.

The westward course of EN- pire is seen
in the production of cereals as we'll as in
the growth of population. The wheat
belt which formerly had its center in the
Gennessee valley and rendered Roches
ter, New York, noted for Its flour mills
has moved steadily westward, owing to
the economical changes which have re-
suited from completion; from the low
cost Of transportation and from combi
nation of causes. Mr.. Atkinson of Bos-
ton has shown the powerful influence
alone of cheap transportation which has
not only enabled the west to control the
eastern markets, but has also enabled it
hold in check the East Indian supply
which for a time seemed likely to sup
plant American wheat in the British mar
kets.
The interesting communication which
we print today from a practical miller
shows that like causes are at work in de-
termining the regions where wheat can
be raised with profit. Where can wheat
and flour be raised at the least cost? is
the problem whose solution will decide
where wheat shall be grown and where it
shall be reduced to flour. Sc far Minne-
sofa and Dakota have taken the lead in
production Of the best wheat and Mime
apolls has controlled the flour trade ow-
ing mainly to her comparative proxim-
ity to the northwestern wheat districts
and to the enterprise of her
merchants in turning the water power to
account. This combination of wheat and
flour interests is now threatened by the
development Of the region around Great
Falls. Since the completion last year of
the Manitoba, this vast region has been
provided with that railroad transporta-
ton to the eastern markets without
which, we could not compete with the
Fleur city. This railroad communication
has been accompanied by the production
of wheat on a scale sufficient to demon
strate that it can he raised here as cheap
~ as IN l)aKota or Minnesota, and that the
grain retains all the merits of that raised
east of here. When this production in
creases as it must from the movement
westward of the wheat belt, Great Falls
'WI.iSla"he in position to produce flour un-
der condiIfnaS, that will enable her to
compete with any rival. The water pow
Ell and cheap fuel will insure cheap pro-
ductlon; while our location in the centre
of wheat region, will save the heavy
cost entailed in hauling the cereal to
market, and re-distributing the otfal. As
for quality, the excellence of the flour
produced already at the Cataract mill, in
sures us that it can be made here by the
thousand barrels in like manner.

was very active again today, with another
material advance established in prices.
1t closed about 25sc higher than yester-
day. A large speculative business was
transacted, the bulk being on local and
northwestern accounts. The advance was
attributed to about the same influences as
noted Yesterday, of which the situation
in the northwest was the principal factor.

ing in corn was active and the feeling

Enron HERALD Your Central School
House correspondent was In error in stat
inc that the Republican flag raised on the
night of the 4th instant was the first ever
nufurled on Cedar Creek. Four years
AGO. in the Blame aud Logan campaign,
n dag exactly the same size as the one
raised on the night of the 4th, was seen
floating day and night at Van Buren,
Furnace, and quite number OF smaller
ones at various points on the creek, and
the same was true during the Garfield
campaign. The Republicans on Cedar
Creek are not in the majority but the few
have the courage Of their convictions,
and. knowing that they are right, never
hesitate to give utterance to their senti-
ments. Democrat" a correspondent OF
the Jirqinian and Neics, states that those
most conspicuous in raising the pole were
from other states. 1t is true that some
NAV have committed the objectionable
of1ense of not having been born In Nlr-
einia. but nevertheless they are here and
numbered among our best citizens. 1t is
equally true that during the last twenty
years nine tenths OF the money that has
been IN circulation on Cedar Creek, and
gwen her a prosperity never before ex-
perienced, has come from other states and
Republican sources.
This same democrat says "The Dem
ocrats wish to give the poor man free col
fee, free sugar, free rice and cheap cloth
ing. Now what are the facts The Re-
publican party removed the duty from
tea and coffee and permitted it to come
in free. The mills bill places the duty on
surar at nxty-eight per cent. The Re-
publicans under the lead Of Representa-
tive Boutele proposed TO reduce this duty
forty-one per cent, but the Democrats
voted il down, 70 that the responsibility
for high duty on sugar rests with the
Democrats.
The duty on rice is Just where the Dem
ocraic states of Georgia and South Caro-
lima have demanded that it should be,
and to this the Republicans have made No
serious obj ection for the reason that East
India rice was the produ ct of labor at the
rate Of twelve or thirteen dollars per an
mum, and part of this paid in rice
Clothing is less than on c fourth the price
it was when the Republican party came
into power at the close Of the buchanan
