THE PosToFF1CE.

A Speedy Removal on Saturday Evening.
"Where is the postoff1ce?" was the con
slant inquiry which Mr.. Matkin answered
yesterday morning. A large notice on
the Second street door announced that
the postoff1ce had been removed the
Boardman- Milner block, but after reading
it people would still ask Mr. Matkin
where is the postotfice?
The transfer was effected in good order
on Saturday evening. All the mail mat
ter was carefully collected from the lock
and other boxes. The mail bags were
.heaped together. Then William Roberts
superintended the removal of the boxes
and Of the platform on which they rested
All these were quickly replaced in pos
ition by Mr.. Taylor and his assistants at
the Boardman Milner block where the
postotfice now occupies good quarters.
Business went on with perfect regularity
yesterday. Letters and newspapers filled
the boxes as usual and the general deliv-
cry went on as If the postoffice had
been unchanged for long time. Post
master Taylor intends to make this the
model postoffice Of Montana. He will
keep pace with the growth Of the city and
hopes before long Great Falls will have
the 10000 people which are needed to Sc
cure free delivery. m.

HILL ON WILLARD.
PRESIDENT HILL MAKES A FORCJ-
~ -. BILE REPLY
He Shows that the Manitoba Railroad
Holds Strong Position-Easy
d. Grades and Light Fixed
.#."M.- Charges.

ST. PAUL, May 23.-President James j.
Hill has some puugent comments concern
ing statement by Mr.. Willard that the
Manitoba was trying to appear as the
champion Of the Northern Pacific stock
holders:
Mr.. Hill said last evening: "The Man
ltoba has not built It's road on close bust
ness principles at an expense Of several
millions Of dollars for the purpose Of ab-
sorblng Or controlling any other road a
good deal weaker than its own. The
Manitoba Is capitalized for about $4,000
per mile. The Northern Pacific for
something ovor $4,000 per mile. The
Manitoba's grades as far west as the
Rocky mountaiks do not average quite 80
feet to the mile; those of the Northern
Pacific exceed 100 feet to the mile. The
Manitoba is now constructed to point
within $50 miles of the Pacific coast or
Puget sound, and when it becomes nee
essary or expedient for it to build to an
ultimate point westward it will have a
through line from the Mississippi valley
to the coast neaaly 400 miles shorter than
that Of the Northern Pacific and any or
all OF its connecting lines. 1t is pity
that Mr.. Willard should express himself
as he is reported in the New York Trib
une interview, for it places him in weak
position, involving further explanation"

The Late General Harney.

| After Cherubusco, Gen. Scott ordered
Harney to execute some soldiers who had
| been tried and condemned todeath. They
had deserted from the Northern army
and joined tile Mexicans and at Cherubu-
SEQ were out on a reconnaissance. When
turning bend in the road, the bodies of
the executed men were seen dangling
from the rude gallows on which thay had
died. General Scott drew up his horse
suddenly, and in a shocked voice, said !:
General Harney, had you not charge Of
the execution Of these unfortunate men?"
"Yes, sir,' was the terse reply. "Then
why" said Scott "were they not buried?"
q had no orders to bury them, sir,' he
replied; "my orders were to hang them;
they are hung, sir" -
Probably Harney's greatest achieve
ment in this field was at Ash Hollow.
Some months before, the Sioux had
wiped out Company g. of the Sixth In
fantry and Harney was to avenge the
deed. The savages we're in heavy force
at Ash Hollow in what in now Wyoming.
Nearly the full fighting force Of the
Sioux was there, and besides there were
detachments from three other tribes
After the massacre Of company G. the In
diaIss were very saucy and looked with
contempt upon United States soldiers
They sent an insulting message to Har-
ney to "tell old Red Bear to bring on his
squaws." Old "Red Bear" proceeded at
once to oblige them, and the massacre
was terrible. 1t broke the power Of the
Sioux nation for fifteen years. There is
an old soldier-Captain Britton-now in
this city who was with there. When Har-
ney brought his command within
charging distance Of the waiting savages
he said: :"There are the dogs that killed
your comrades, go in and avenge them"
That was the first fight in which the
mimic gun was used, and the savages
were paralyzed at guns that killed at 1000
yards.-Salt Lake Tribune.

SIDE canal stretches out on the high bench
land toward Benton. Fifty teams and 80
men were employed on the work last sea-
son and over 90 miles of the canals were
completed. Work has been pushed this
spring, men being employed at places
night and day. The entire plan embraces
~ miles Of main canals, which will serve
as feeders for over go miles of lateral
bitches. All along the line of these can
ais are numberless natural basins into
which it is proposed to turn the water
when not in use, thus providing a reserve
for the irrigating season.
The completion Of this great piece Of
work demonstrates the utility of the res
ervoir system and opens up lands to set
tlement. Now that the railroad facilities
afford ready market for produce, this
vast area Of agricultural land will soon be
converted into the site Of happy home
steads for many thousand people.

HIGHER PRICES EXPECTED.

New YORK, May 23.-It is clearly evi-

have great confidence in the strength of
the wool market and are expecting to see
values increased in the seaboard markets.
The sales made the past week, not only
here but in the interior, can be accepted
as demonstrating the fact that there is
sufficient demand to sustain prices, and
there are good reasons for believing that
the demand will be continued, that it is
not mere squirt.
