THE BANNER TERRITORY.

From the noble old Salt Lake Tribune,
which regards with pride the growth OF
all the territories, there comes THIS nearly
acknowledgment Of the proud posltloh
which Montana has attained as goiu'
silver,and copper producer. This aole
journal says: "Montana shows up the
banner mining territory for 1883. Her
nroauct exceeds $4O,ooo,o0o. 1t is enough

THAT FALSE REPORT.

The false report of disturbances IN
Mexico, which has received such Wloe
circulation, turns out as might be expect
ed = entirely groundless. Hence
forth the press will have to exercise
nearly as much vigilance in detecting
false reports as in collecting fresh news.
There was not the slightest ground Tor
supposing that Mexico was prey to dis
order. Since General Diaz established
in 1876 an era of peace, order and pro
press, Mexico has enjoyed perfect repose
and has made rapid strides in materla
wealth. Since that year three trunf
railroad lines have been constructed, twf
of which connect the Mexican capita
with the United States. The public lin
auces have been put in good order ant
the national credit has been re-establlshe'
abroad and at home. Rapid progress ha
been made in commerce, in mining an
in agriculture. The relations OF the re
public with hiscountry have been render
ed very friendly, owing, in large part, t
the craftsmanship of Hon. lgnacio Ma
jscal, the minister for foreign affairs an
the diplomatic ability Of Hon. Matl'
Romero, who represents the Mexican I
: public at Washington. Our commerci
relations are now growing so close tn

THE party given in compliment to Mrs.
Matt Dunn last evening was well mer-
tied compliment to that amiable lady and
her esteemed husband. Mr. Dunn has
earned the warm regard of his fellow
citizens here by his public spirit and
enterprise. He invested large sum in a
building OF metropolitan proportions, in
which Sand Coulee sandstone was used
with signal success. The Dunn block
seemed at one time to be somewhat in
advance of the city's growth, but it was
no sooner finished than the stores and Of
fees were all readily leased. The city
council established there the city hall
Doctors and lawyers eagerly acquired its
steam-heated rooms, which are provided
with electric light and are practically fire
proof. As a result of his enterprise he
has from this source alone an income
which would require an investment OF
about $13O, 900 in the eastern states. We
all hope that Mr.. and Mrs. Dunn will en-
joy their trip to California and return il
the enjoyment of good health.

A surprise party was given in the Dunn

about to 90 to California for the winter.
The music was played by Messrs. Race

happy thought Of giving this party
originated with Miss Mabel Martin

and one of the pleasantest parties OF the
season was the result. Mrs. Dunn was
taken completely by surprise, but she ap-
preciated the compliment very much, ana
greatly enjoyed the reunion OF her
friends, Dancing was maintained until
after midnight. The Dunn hall proved
to be adapted admirably for the festive
occasion. Toward the close some appr,o

4sO5, ,939 pounds. Of course allowance
must he made for the 12,973,S0S pounds
of foreign wool in bond at Boston ana
the increased quantity at the mills, but
these facts are offset by the improved
condition of the woolen trade and the
cartainty that the tariff on both wool ana
woolens will not be materially reduceo
by the pending senate bill whlch
is likely to make some provisions OF 1ne
tariff SO stringent as to be of more service
to the trade than a nominal advance
Free traders and protectionists alike agree
noting better prices and stimulating
home competition which in the end vii
benefit both producer and consumer.
With few exceptions each class O
wool at Boston has decreased compared
with the stock year ago. Oregon woo
is the only notable exception. The stool
of that wool is now 2,733, 1854 pounds
while year ago it was 10000 pounds
In Montana and other territorial wool
the decrease is marked. Boston had D.
197,39S pounds Of these wools on hanc
January /, 1888, while now there ar
only 3,569,927 pounds, which in the fac
of the larger production speaks we'll fo

OUR esteemed contemporary

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
American Wool Reporter, dlsapproves
of the wool-growers' convention which is
called to meet in Washington on Thurs
day. While such a grave matter as new
tariff is pending, we think that no harm
can result from the free discussion of the
wool-growers' interests. The New Eng
land manufacturers should profit by the
teachings of the late John L. Hayes, who
was so enthusiastic in promoting the
welfare of all branches of the wool in
dustry.

Gnnd Times Predicted.

The sheep raising industry is prosper
Gus for the reason that the demand for
wool and mutton is now but keeping pace
with the supply. The low prices which
prevailed for number of years past were
caused by an overproduction, and re-
suited in the same wild rush to get out of
the industry that is now witnessed in the
cattle business The effect is to be seen
to-day in the higher, steady prices and
active demand for sheep. Those who
have staid with the business through all
Its vicissstudes are now reapng rich
reward for their abiding faith. The same
story will be repeated two years hence
when referring to cattle. Many cattle
growers who have run their business with
a reckless disregard OF the laws of bust
ness have gone or will have to go to the
wall. but,those who hold on for year or
two will be able to figure profitable
result. The inevitable outcome of the
marvellous rush to market of the pro-
ducing cattle of the cou ntry is that the
supply viii soon not overbalance the
demand, and, as in the case of sheep,
higher and steady prices will rule

A Chicago stockman Charges the Low Price

A Chicago StOCkmap Charges the Low Price
of Cattle to Bad Legislation.
s. w. Allerton of Chicago, in a let
ter to the Drovers' Journal, charges
that the present Oppressive conditiOn'of
the cattle market is due TO the bad leg
isIation of congress. After paying his
resDects to the select senate committee
now in Kansas City, he says;
Now. the real question is, Why are cattle so
low? That is what the farmer wants to know.
with the best foreign demand ter cattle We
have ever had in the history OF shipments
abroad there must be some ST. bstantlal reasons
for the present great depreciation in prices.
First came the animal bureau bill and with II the

hjbted the sale of our cattle IN those countries,

moved by its investigation that OleOmargarine IS
GOOD and nutritious food for the human family,
and then proceeded to put tax OF s. per hun
drad ON oieo which amounted to direct tax Of
So cents per head on all the cattle in this coun-
fry To further condemn the home industry -
demanded n license of $3.50 from every one who
sells oleomargarine. This was done appaTsntly33
to drive all small dealers out OF the market :
and if possible, to destroy the entire lndustrys

duced s. per head.
Thirdly. the duty was taken off of green hides,
which allowed France, Germany and all other
foreign nations 10 flood this country with green

Cattle Cars Must be Cleaned.

Secretary Rusk recently went to New
York to investigate the manner of ship
ping cattle to that point from Chicago,
and he is ready to report that the cattle
ears coming from Chicago must be thor
oughly cleansed and kept in better con-
dition than heretofore The secretary
finds that the present filthy condition of
the cars is liable to carry SPLEEN
ic fever with the stock ship
ments, and once that disease
breaks out in a cargo of cattle the
American beef trade will be ruined.
Secretary Rusk viii recommend that no
more shipments be made from Chicago
or other Western points until the cars
have been put i'll proper condition.

Hog Raising,

The Iowa Farmer and Breeder gives
the following important points IN hog
raising: Start the hogs to fattening
early. It costs considerable more to put
a fall pig on the market than one far
rowed in the spring. a sow should never
be allowed to raise more pigs than she
has milk-giving teats. Good breed is es-
sential with hogs as with other stock, If
the best profit is realized. While grass
should be made the principal feed during
the summer, some grain can always be
added with profit. So far as possible
food should be supplied in such form
that the hogs will masticate thoroughly.
The spring pig gets to market earlier,
costs less to feed during growth, and
hence can be made more profitable. A
handful of linseed meal given to the
brood sows twice a week will be found
help in keeping them healthy.

To the Gazette.
Your story of the farmer at Sulphur
Springs who raised pumpkin measuring
three feet six inches in circumference is
pretty good, but Mitchell county canbeat
it. The Clipper office now has on ex
hibition two monster pumpkins raised by
b f. Mills OH sod ground three miles
from town. One Of them is thirty-two
inches long and forty-one inches around,
ana the other fifty-nine inches around.
Each of them weigh over seventy five
pounds.
The Clipper also has number of
stalks of sorghum cane fourteen feet
high raised here. Sorghum has yielded
enormously this year, ranging all the
way from three to seven tons per acre.
Several of our farmers have bough6
mills and are making up fSe'
article of syrup from the cane.
Johnson grass is another big crop,
here. One field near town has
been moved three times already this sea-
son. In fact, everything that our
farmers have planted has done as we'll as
could be wished, and all are greatly en-
couraged.
Actual settlers are coming into the
county in large numbers, and we hope
soon to have all the vacant school
sections in the county taken
up. Six applications went into the land
office last week. To-day seven wagon
loads Of prOspectors from Travis county
arrived and will take up land in the vi
entity There are still about one hum
dred vacant school sections in Mitchell
