THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.

Mr.. Laine Higgs' interesting account
of the rise of the dressed beef is full Of
instruction for Montana. 1t shows what
small beginnings may lead to and how
young after all IS this immense industry.
From authentic figures we find that in
1870 Chicago received only 552,964 cattle.
In 1880 the receipts had risen to 1884,
AT. In 1887 they had increased to 1884,
0O8. The value of the stock received in
1870 was $62,O90,631. In 1850 the stock
were worth S143,O57,6s6. In 1887 the
value of the stock received had risen to
the immense sum Of $176,644,597 In
stock are included cattle, calves, hogs,
sheep and horses. This enormous bust
ness should not be largely in the hands
OF monopolists, against whom the stock
raisers are almost powerless. But there
Is good time coming.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
WEDNESDAY. APRIL II. 1889.
Sc MI-WEEKLY
THE WHEAT CROP.

In Minnesota and Dakota there has
been an average increase in the wheat
acreage of 10 to Is per cent. This is at
tributed to good prices, an increase in the
number of settlers and the early spring.
In South Dakota and Southern Mime
sofa the seeding is over, but in the north
ern wheat belt, including that great grain
ary-the Red River valley-only about
one-third of the seeding had been done
up to Friday last, except on the bonanza
farms, where the work has been complet-
ed As the conditions of climate around
Great Falls resemble those in North Da-
kota, so far as wheat growing is concern,
ed, it is evident that much seeding might
still be done with advantage throughout
our wheat belt. The warm weather will
cause the seed to sprout readily and il
heavy rains set in the ranchman may
count on nearly as good crop as if he
had seeded the land earlier
1t appears that throughout Minnesota
and Dakota the farmers all want rain
The rain and snow last fall were so light
that the ground is parched and too dry
to give the wheat plant good start, II
north Dakota some benefit was derived
from snow storms, but nearly 100 countle
in Minnesota, and the Dakotas complain
of lack of moisture. The farmers deslr'
steady down pour for four or five day
in orderto put the sprouting seed in goot
condition. They hope that the drontl
may soon be broken, but they should nc
despair if the rain is still withheld. Il
1881, there were no heavy rains until Jun
and yet the wheat crop was large.
1t may be seen by these reports tina
the drouth in Montana is not exceptional
We are on the whole better off than tn
Dakotas and Minnesota for the naturf
moisture in the soil is eonsideeable AM
the indications are goodFJll there wi
be abundance of rain by the end of mel
month.

Ex-GovERNoR CROSBY is rather late in
suing R. B. Harrison for an alleged libel
printed in 1887. If Mr.. Crosby was sat
isfied with simple retraction in the Buff
falo paper which first printed the article
why should he try to humiliate Mr.. Har'
rison and failing to do so demand 800,
900 damages? 1t is none Of our quarrel
but the press ought to make common
cause against all who would make the
libel law an instrument of oppression.

THE direct and indirect benefits of th

THE direct and indirect benefits of the
North Montana Fair Association will be
great. The fair and races will make our
city widely known. They will attract
here thousands of people and they will
give an impulse to raising fine horses and
dealing therein that will be felt as far as
the Bear Paw mountains, as well as in the
Judith Basin and the Sun river country
When Montana gives aid to state fairs
she will, of course, include this one, but
our people have very pluckily started it
on their own account and will make it q
great success without state aid.

THE Mormon, like the Chinese, must
go. Judge Goodwin notes the fact in the
Salt Lake Tribune. He says: "The SEN
timent of the nation is that the proper
cure for Utah, while enforcing the laws,
is to enlighten the people. That enlight.
eminent is coming. We can not note il
from day to day, but we can from year to
year. Things have changed within six
years, yes, within four years; yes, later
still. The Mormon people are in the
light, even while their chiefs are still ir
the shadow, and the time is not so very
far off now when the Mormon creed will
wheel within the laws, or crumble tt
pieces like rotten iceberg" Montana
and all the star west' will profit by tn,
overthrow of the twin relic Of barbarism

IT will be seen by the text Of Cover
nor Whites proclamation of which we
have received part by telegraph that he
accepts the apportionment made by Gov

governor sees that the apportionment was
fair and that he could not lawfully dis
turb it. Thus ends the expectation thai

THE Inflated steamer Denmark sailed
on March 20 and was seen water-logged
and abandoned in mid ocean April 8,
when she ought to have been at New
York. As no tidings have been received
of her passengers and crew, numbering
nearly 700 people, the likelihood is slight
that any sailing ship found them atioat
and rescued as many as it could. Another
great mystery is added to the stories of
the deep, blue ocean.

The selection would be an excellent one.
Mr.. Hogan is one of the best known men

lily him to take part in framing the con-
stitution of the great state of Montana.
