Yesterday Evenings Races


The final heat of the races by the Great
Falls Boat club was contested yesterday
evening over the course In Broadwater
bay. The water was perfectly calm and
air delightful. The way in which every
thing passed off showed how splendid
our beautiful bay is for such sports. On
w the victors in the three races held on
Thursday were allowed to compete. Mr..
Tracy got start Of 10 seconds over Dr.
Gordon. who In turn had 10 seconds
start over Mr.. Bulge. The race was a
hot one all through. Mr.. Tracy made
the best use of his start and adroitly gave
the other competitors the full benefit OF
the wash from his boat. He held the
lead all the way. Although the DR.. man
aged to lessen the distance hctween him
self and Mr.. Tracy, the latter shot across
the goal line, splendid first, foil owed
bv Gordon second and Badge third.
| The banks and surface of the rivcl
were alive with spectators who took
keen interest in the progress OF the race
1t is to be hoped that the club will have
more of such enjoyable contests before
the season ends. Probably crews from
Butte, Helena and Fort Benton may b'
induced to try conclusions with tho Graa
Falls club, but il so we can assure then
they will have work before them.
Judge Dyas was on the ground ant
made a lively tilt i'll pool-sclling.

PLA1NF1ELD, N. Y, Aug. 2.--Last night
was an anxious one for the citizens in the
hills. At Bellville there is dam high
above this place and the continuous rains
have filled the space back of it with wa
ter. There have been brakes in it and
there is imminent danger that it will
give way, in which case this city will be
flooded as was .Johnstown. Railroad men
are at work trying to strengthen the dam
with little prospects Of success.
The wires are down and horsemen
were on guard all night ready to fly down
the valley and spread the alarm. A sys-
TEN of signal rockets is arranged.

We have heretofore drawn the atten
ton Of the readers Of the LEADER to the
call for bids by Chairman Bird ges of the
municipal fire department committee, for
the erection Of a hose or engine house.
Seeing that there seems to exist misun-
derstanding with some of our citizens in
regard to the matter, we refer to it again.
within very brief period there will
ha srrivin:; here Some $4,000 or $3,000
worth of tire-suppressing appliances, con-
sistiny of two hose carts, 1900 feet of
hose and complete outfit to render the
carts, hose and hooks and ladders availa-
bic in case of fire. The city has no suitable
place for this expensive and indispensa
BILE apparatus when it shall arrive. TO
supply this urgent need the fire depart
ment committee, as in duty bound, set
about preparing for the reception of the
material by the construction Of an engine
house; and all at once the howl goes up
from certain quarters against ''city
hall!' Now Of course not much is to he
expected of II person who don't know an
enginc-house from a city hall. The fel-
low who didn't know beans when the bag
was united, would be Il savan beside such
novice; aud that he should presume to
speak for the public is beyond endur-
ance. ..
We are authorized, for the satisfaction
of the good and intelligent people of
Great Falls to state that an eligible lot
for the proposed cnginehouse has been
| secured; that the plans and specifications
for comfortable building to store the
| public property of the fire department
have been drawn; and that the highest
and best interests of the city approve the
action of the committee to erect ut once
an engine or hose house -nota a city hall
htat the fire apparatus may be
kept in order; that our splendid system
of water-works may be available in case
of fire; that our volunteer hose and hook
and ladder companies may have place
for rendezvous and thai cur citizens may
have the assurance of their aid In cast
the tirc-fiend should threaten the devas
tation of their business houses or thei
homes.
/ Opaque bipcds and ohstructionists g
hand in hand. One is but the tool of tn
other. Intelligent action is not expected
Of them. Fixed business principle ha
established the fact that the existence o
well-appointed fire department reduce
insurance rates more than sufficient t
compensate for the cost Of its equiv
ment: and it is apparent to every intcll
gent citizen that the small amount c
means required for the construction {
the proposed engine-house cannot lie @,
pended to better purpose.

4 L;katy's Opinion,

'SThat a lovely bay" exclaimed a gen
tleman yesterday afternoon, addressing
himself to a bevy of delighted ladies who
stood gazing at the boat races "Yes,''
replied one Of the young ladies'; "and you
omitted to mention the jungle Of water
lilies and other aquatic plants that
adorn its surface!' Just about that mo-
ment light breeze from the bay waited
the olors from the tangled mass of de-
caying vegetation along the shore, min
yleu with the aromatic etiluvia from the
sewer-moutl.- and the spell was broken
the enchantment ceased the gay fret
work Ct bliss WAS sl!a.s,lved-the mer-
n.ai,l- Disappeared and all suddenly
sca'lparv,l IS though the fetid fumes OF
Ghci,r!.li;! were there, about to- take theil
breath away!

Selling Whisky Illegally

BuTAE, Aug. 2.--Under Sheriff, Alex
Gibson of Jefferson county, was over
from Boulder yesterday in quest of gen.
tleman whom he was anxious to meet To
q reporter he stated that no little difficult
ty was experienced in the attempt to
suppress the illegal traffic of whisky
which has sprung up along the grade of
the Northern Pacific and Montana rail
road. The moonshiners confine their or
erations principally to that section of the
grade in Jefferson county and are deter
mined to continue their business not
withstanding the continuous warfare
waged upon them by the officers.
Three of the illegal whisky sellers
have been captured and are in Jail al
Boulder, but this fact does not deter 9TH
ers from engaging in the risky business

Sheep Gusbantlry would at once be destrOyed-blot
ted out! No possible way could be found Of ad-
justing the wages OF hertlers to the scale that
would he necessary Ii the business were pursued
il, competition with the wool growers of Australia
and South America. Herders In Montana were
intelligent Americans earning from $50 to $40 a
month and their board. Hertiers in South Ameri
ca were either slaves or semi-barbarians, for
whose labor so Il month was high price. In
Australia the price of that labor did not go above
$40, while in both countries 1t went as low as $3.50
and averaged less than 81 Moreover, in both Of
those favored lands grazing obtained the year
round while III Montana 1t was necessary to store
hay for the winter season, and to corral the sheep
when the weather became severe. The question
with the Montana wool growers then, was whether
the? should vote in favor Of MIR. Clark and help to
ruin an industry wherein they had $4O,0O,0O0 in
vested, in favor Of MIR. Carter and in aid Of their
business interests They had seen their business
suffering since the Mills bill was proposed. WOOL
ell goods manufacturers were waiting the out
come Of the election before purchasing supplies.
Every ranchman In Montana felt tina: democratic
| success meant personal disaster
| The miners, too, were equally alarmed Not
only those engaged in producing lead, but all 9th
ers as we'll. saw that the democratic plans struck
dircctlyat their incomes Their principal con,peti-
tors in mineral production were the miners Of
Spain and Mexico, where labor was worth only
| from 30 to GO cents a day. The Montana miner
commanded $3.50 a day, His earnings enabled
him to possess his own home. to dress his family
neatly and well, to supply his table with good
things and plenty of them and to send his chill
dren to school. As one walks about the streets OF
Butte city he is quickly impressed with the re.
spectacle appearance of the thousands Of miners
he meets. They look like men, men Of intelli'
gence and independence, who know where theil
next meal Is to come from and where they will
find a bed to sleep In. They understood the situ
alton perfectly. Whether they mined In gold al
MarysvilIe or in copper at Butte they knew that
the lead men could not suffer without they suffer
ed tco. They saw that II the lead men were
thrown out Of employment, the thousands Of lead
miners would at once be drawn into competition
with the gold, silver and copper miners, and that
the Inevitable effect would be reduction Of wages
all around. There could not be Il surplus in labO1
without Il fall III the price Of labor. These tarif
considerations changed many votes. The demo
cratic leaders had enough perception to see tha
such Il result was sure to befall them, but wlla
could they do? They cursed the administration
and poor Mr.. Mills, but curses could not MAKE
votes. They could only run AWAY from the fight
or stand up and justify free trade. Some of then
did run away, but for the most part they put on
bold face and footed the free-trade bugle.

A KIND WORD FOR THE ORGAN.

I am constantly receiving letters from
the brethren from every part of the State
seeking information that they could get
from The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, and mas
much as that paper is the adopt
ed organ of the Alliance of the
State, [ recommend it to the brethren as
a paper in every respect worthy of their
patronage, and as the only medium by
which Alliance men can keep themselves
posted in regard to the workings of our
order; and in this connection l will state
that only a few days ago | met with a
gentleman who does not belong to the
Alliance, but could tell me more about it
than any man I had seen. / enquired of
him how he knew so much about the
Alliance, and he replied that he took The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, and read it, and he
didn't see how any Alliance man could do
without it. / hope you will all follow
his example-take the paper and read it,
and it will say you a great deal of writ
ing, and impart to you much useful in
formation.

buildings, merchandise, machinery, &c,
will reach hundreds of thousands. A dis
patch, dated Reading, January 10th says:
There is mourning and sorrow in many
homes in Reading to-day. The pail of
death hangs over the city. Fathers and
mothers, brothers and sisters, relatives and
friends are grief-stricken over the work
of last night. The storm left the entire
city in darkness which was only relieved
by the huge bondfres which shed their
lurid glare on the scene of death" 1t
seems that the same storm extended into
the. States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinoise,
Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin, and was
every where attended with great distruc-
ton.
We notice that there is a movement on
foot in the State looking to the establish
-ment of a Presbyterian Orphanage. The
proposition is to establish it within the
bounds of the Presbytery that will offer
the greatest inducement. Charlotte is
anxious to have it and will doubtless bid
largely.
Bulletin No. 60, Of the North Caro-
lima Agricultural Experiment Station, is
to hand. This Bulletin contains the first
of a series by Mr.. Gerald Mccarthy,
Botanist to the Station, on "Some Use
full Forage Plants" that can be grown
advantageously on our soils. This new
departure by the Experiment Station in
bringing into notice other plants valuable
as a stock food will no doubt be appre-
ciated. The subject of this first sketch is
"Lucerne, it's value as a Forage Crop" A
botanical description Of the plant is given,
together with a good cut showing its ap-
pearance and growth. The root system
of the plant is we'll illustrated by cuts
taken from photographs of plants from
the Experiment Farm and the farm of DR..
r. II. Lewis near by. The extraordinary
yield of this crop, the frequency with
which cuttings can be made, its ability to
stand long continued droughts by reason
OE the extensive duu ueeP AOOIS, 0hu
finally it's relative value compared to other
foods would make this crop very valuable.
To US at this time Investigation of crops
is greatly needed. The continued growth
of one staple without a regard to the rails
ing of home supplies will be ruinous IN
the extreme, unless other crops at the
same time be grown to lessen the, cost of
home consumption. Lucerne, there is
every reason to believe, will be a valuable
aid in this direction. Those interested,in
the subject will do well to read this bulle-
tin (No. 60) of the Experiment Station.

Hand at Local OPP
tiOn.

The legislative junketing committee
which has spent the past week at st.
Louis attending the anti-beef trust con-
yentiOn, returned to st. Paul yesterday
much pleased with the result of its trip.
MeSSrS. Forbes, Diment and Sumner, of
the committee. state that against the
combined opposition of the Missouri,
Illinois and part of the Iowa delega-
tiens, bill was adopted by the conven-
ton very similar to the Forbes bill now
before the house. Aside from its labors
in the convention the Minnesota delega-
ton had a peculiarly pleasant time.
The remarkable discovery by MesSrS.
Forbes and Dimento of a whale in Shaw'S
gardens, aroused Mr.. Hanke'S curiosity
''How long was tips
Diment-Fifty-tive feet, three inches
and quarter.
Forbes-No, no! Only fifty-two feet,
one inch and siX-tenths.
Hanke-Did it spout?
Diment-SpoutS forty feet high, and
Sprinkles the lawn which surrounds its
tank for forty feet.
Hanke-But | did not know that
whales could live in fresh water.
Forbes-Oh, well; but whale can
live in Missouri water.
Mr.. Hanke was satisfied with this ex-
planation, and sincerely regretted that
he had not seen the whale. 1t is hardly
necessary to ailude to Mr.. Hompe's eX-
perience on Green street, nor his mad
dash through the streets for his lite.
Altogether the committee enjoyed
themselves, secured a favorable report
on good bill, and did not spend all of
the $1,000 given them by the state.
