Seeding Conditions Favorable in Illinois,
Mis- souci and Kansas.
The national weather crop bulletin for
the week ending Saturday, March 16, 1889,
says:
The conditions in Dakota and Minnesota have
been about the average for blowing and seeding
but work was interrupted in Dakota by buster
ing weather from the 18th to the 10th. The
weather has been favorable in Illinois, Missouri,
and Kansas Seeding conditions are favorable
in Nebraska. Wheat is reported as doing well
in Kansas, and the favorable effects of fair
weather have been felt i'll Missouri
and Indiana. High day temperature
and freezing nights and deficiency in rainfall
should be injurious to wheat in Michigan in
the southern portion of which State snow has
disappeared. The crop prospects continue ex-
cellent in Kentucky Arkansas and Tennessee,
where the spring planting is we'll under way.
The winter wheat is reported as looking very
we'll throughout New York and Pennsylvania:
the frost is out of the ground in South
ern Massachusetts, and planting is in
progress i'll New Jersey. Favorable re-
ports have been received from the South
Atlantic and Gulf States where the spring
planting has made excellent progress the cane
planting being nearly completed in Louisiana.
There have been three light frosts in this State
during the week, but they have resulted in no
damage. No adverse reports have been received
from any section and the week has, in general,
been favorable for farm work in most districts.

.HELENA'S PLOT.

We expect to hear a prolonged howl
from Fort Benton when the following eX-
tract from the Independents report of
Helena Board Of Trades meeting on Sat-
urday, is read there: -u..~.
Mr.. Meyendorff said he recently wrote
to Delegate Toole inquiring if an office
creating and assistant collector Of Gus
toms, that local merchants might import
goods direct and do away with the nee
essity Of having merchandise first shipped
to Fort Benton, the present port. Dele
gate Toole said he heartily endorsed the
plan, but thought it too late in the session
to have anything done on the subject.
The speaker thought the port should be
changed to this city, as Helena is proper
ly adapted by reason of its central loca-
ton to the largest commercial districts
for such port, and he knew the trans
fer was desired If it could be accom-
plished Postmaster Curtis knew by
actual experience that great hardship
was being forced on the people by having
Fort Benton The only port of entry in
the territory and cited several instances
that came under his observation in the
postotlice, where many packages OF for
eign goods were received. Upon mention
of Mr. Meycndorff the secretary was in
structed to correspond with Delegate
Toole, requesting him to memerialize
congress to effect the desired change.
This looks like a declaration Of war, for
Benton is not going to surrender her time
honored privilege and rank, without
struggle. She will remind Helenn of
the time when her merchants rejoiced
at the facilities which Benton
afforded them for cheap transit of goods
from the heart of Missouri to the busy
camp of Last Chance gulch. She will
refer to the fratricidal or parricidal
hands Of the Missourians, who, having
received u hearty welcome when they
first landed at Benton, would now de-
prive that venerable city of the rank
which she holds as port of entry. What
part MI Toole has taken in the matter is
not clear from the above report We
hope that he favors some measure by
which Helena may be made port Of en-
try, as we'll as Benton, for otherwise he
will catch it from the Bentonites, whose
love will as suddenly turn to anger.
We hope some compromise may be
possible. We are willing to have Helena
enjoy the fullest facilities for trade, but
we consider that it would be unfair to de-
prive Benton of port of entry which will
be ofservice to all northern Montana when
this region, now on the threshold of
great development, becomes more popu-
lous and wealthy. 1t is easy to see that
the removal of the customs officer would
be followed by the abandonment of i'm
provements on the upper Missouri and
by,a general loss of prestige on the part
of Benton and of all Northern Montana
