THE BACHELORS ENTERTAIN.

Bright Faces, Happy Hearts ana Light
Feet at the Reception.
The social dance given by the gentle
men living at the Hotel Brink Wednesday
was attended by just enough to avoid a
crush. ~
At $3.50 the majority Of the invited
guests had arrived and many had ex-
changed social courtesies. The inspir-
ing strains of a beautiful waltz opened
the programme and oon the dancers were
floating away to its enticing measures
Following this other dances came in rapid
succession and all too soon the hour for
refreshments was announced. The bach
elors, with the help of some friends, here
scored a point with the young ladies, es-
pecially any who might be looking for
some one skilled in those delicate atten-
tions which are so pleasant. Messrs.
Goss, Burns, Coleman, Verge and Kuehn
certainly deserve praise for the admirable
manner in which the arrangements were
carried out. Soon the music was resum-
ed and dancing continued until / o'clock,
when "Home, Sweet Home" was reluct-
aLtly greeted as the last waltz.
Among those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Robb, Mr.. and Mr.. Mcfarland, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hotchkiss, Mr.. and Mrs. Tracy, Mr..
and Mrs. White, MI. and Mrs. Reming-
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. Hooker, Mr.. and Mrs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The joint reso-
luton reported yesterday by Senator
Hawley to issue arms to the states OF
North and South Dakota and Nebraska
was taken up in the senate today. Haw-
ley said that if anything was to be done
in the matter 1t should he done quickly.
He hoped, if possible, any elaborate dis
cussion of the Indian question would be
postponed.
Voorhees, said he did not want to delay
the passage of the joint resolution, but
after what had TRANSFERRED yesterday he
thought it not only due to himself, but to
Gen. Miles as well as the country, to sub
nit the matter which had since come to
his hands. That was an interview with
Ex-Governor Foster of Ohio, published in
the Cincinnati Enquirer. All the sena-
tors were acquainted with Foster, who
had recently served on an important In
dian commission. and his views ought to
have, and doubtless would have, great
weight. Foster said in that interview :
an my opinion the difficulties might be
easily avoided"
"The whole matter had been brought
about by a combination OF bad policy and
of incompetency Of some of the officials.
The Sioux are starving. Give the Sioux
plenty to eat and there will be no fur
Their trouble"
After a long discussion the JOINT reso-
luton was amended so as to apply to
the states of North and South Dakota,
Wyoming and Nebraska and was passed.
Senator Morgan introduced a joint res
o%lution, which sent over until tomorrow,

The scheme to send out an agent to
advertise Great Falls is a good one and
should be carried through. 1t is already
late to mmen operations, but still
much good may be accomplished. The
agent should have with him a large
amour of printed matter In regard to
the city and county, and IN order to get
this done some lively hustling will be
necessary. Committees should at once
be set to work to prepare statements and
statistics and the printing houses of
Great Falls should set their presses to
turning out circulars, folders and other
matter. The Board of Trade should not
hesitate in this matter but proceed at
once to business.

THE RI Y

The committee of the board Of trade of
this city recently appointed to take action
in regard to the improvement of the Mis-
souri, river above the falls, has prepared
the following memorial which has been
forwarded to the wal department.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, Nov. 2S.-To the
Honorable Secretary of War, Washington,
d. C.,-Dear Sir: We, the undersigned,
members Of a committee appointed by
the board of trade of Great Falls, Montana,
beg leave to call the attention of your
department to the fact that 1t is the opin-
ion of the board that the Missouri river,
with the exception of slight obstacles At
two different points, is navigable' from
Great Falls to the mouth of the Gallatin
river. The country through which it
flows between these points, is an import
ant agricultural and mineral district, with
"A large amount of timber tributary to it.
The most e~Npedient and economical way
to handle the products of this region for a
distance of about three hundred miles, is
by water transportation. Great Falls and
intermediate points affords a natural and
sufficient market for those products of
this thickly settled country along the
upper Missouri river valley, and in many
places they have no other convenient out
let. For the past IL rec seasons two small
steamers have successfully Piled these
waters and have demonstrated that CON
tinuous navigation of the upper Missouri
is practicable, provided the removal OF
obstacles at Bear Tooth Ford and Half
Breed rapids is effected. Aside from this
and combining the waters in one channel
at numerous places, there is very little
to be done in the way of improvement.
Material for the work is convenient along
this entire distance. The formation Of
the river bed is of rock and gravel. I'm
provements once made in this channel
would be OF a permanent nature, and, I'M
like those of the lower Missouri, would not
demand annual repairs. The river be-
tween Great Falls and the Gallatin is
open about nine months OF the year and
during this period has an ample stage of
water. We believe the removal Of the
obstacles referred to, thereby making
this part of the river navigable, and
which can be done at II small expenditure
of money, is as important as the construc-
ton of a railroad i'll any part of the
United States. The railroad at Great
Falls provides a portage around a series
of falls below. Great Falls, so that the
Missouri can be made a practical ele-
ment in transportation from Its source to
the Gulf of Mckee. Great Falls is an
important manufacturing point and its
mills and smelters will depend largely
upon this water transportation for ores,
grain, wood and lumber. From official
reports on file in your department the
statements above can he verified.
This communication will be supple
mented by others, placing the matter be-
fore you in detail. Respectfully sub
mitted, (Signed)

ERNEST CRuTCHER,

THAT alledged interview a New York
Sun reporter had with President Hill has
caused no end of talk and ill-feeling. In
the interview Mr.. Hill Is said to have re
marked that there were five traffic man
ayers in Chicago to whom, if he had his
way, he would give 100000 each to re
sign and quit the country. The Chicago
papers took up the matter and have said
many hard things about Mr.. Hill, his
road and Its officers. As a matter OF
fact it is a question if Mr.. Hill eve made
the remark credited to him. If he did
it is certain he referred to the traffic man
ayers of five of the six roads run0lng be.
tween Chicago and st. Paul. They say
Mr.. Hill meant that if the rate-makins
power of these roads was concentrated
in one man, rates could be restored tc
something like a paying basis, and main.

His friends did all they could for him but
to no avail as he seemed TO grow worse.
At one time he escaped and ran out into
the darkness and plunged into a water
tank with seven feet of water in il, after
having first cut himself in the neck with
a pocket knife. He was rescued from the
water but escaped from his keepers and
again plunged in. The closest watch was
kept upon him until Under Sheriff Craw-

when the sufferer was brought here and
placed in q cell for safekeeping, pending
an examination as to his mental condition.
Since his arrival he has apparently i'm
proved and strong hopes are entertained
that he will soon entirely recover. 1t is
not known or believed that he ever had

JUST at the time when the prospects for
home rule for Ireland seemed brightest,
the "Parnell incident" has utterly de-
feated that prospect. Looking at the sit
uation from this side of the water it
would seem that Parpell should have
been willing to surrender the leadership
to such IA man as Justin Mccarthy, for
instance, and thus avoid the split be-
tween the liberals and nationalist. 1t
looks very much at present as if the
leader of the nationalist had more re-
gard for his own future than for that Of
Ireland. 1t is certain that the acrimoni-
Gus division has postponed home rule for
many a day.

GREAT FALLS SHOULD ADVER-
TISE,

The plan for advertising Great Falls
and her seems to be about to
assume a tangible shape. Yesterday a
number of prominent citizens inaugu-
rated a scheme to send an agent through
the east to make known the advantages
of our town and surrounding country
This is q step in the proper direction
and, SO for as known, meets with the
hearty appreciation OF real estate ant
business men generally. The agen'
should have a mineral cabinet showing
specimens, with assays, of some Of the
principal mines in Neihart, Barker, VOL
Creek and other districts. He should be
able to talk intelligently on the subject OF
mines, mining and smelling.
He should be well informed on the
history and growth of Great Falls-the
values of real estate three years ago and
today. He should know something Of
the great dam, its size, power and pos
sibilities. He should know the size and
capacities of the various smelters, the
number of men each employs, the amount
of the pay rolls, and the districts from
which the ore reduced is brought. The
coal fields adjacent to Great Falls should
receive his careful attention. He should
know something of their extent, accessible
ity,ease of mining and amount of develop
ment done. Sand Coulee and Arlington
should receive his special attention.
A choice collection of agricultural
products should accompany the mineral
cabinet and the wonderful results of
farming should be familiar to him. The
vast areas of unoccupied lands suitable
for farming should receive his consider
alton.
Montana's great stock interests should
be familiar to the representative.
The movement started has been strong
ly encouraged by the business men and It
is probable that some definite action will
be taken this week.
Those most deeply interested IN the
scheme seem to be unanimous in the be-
lief that l.. W. Curtis, formerly agent of
the American Express company, is pecu-
liarly fitted to carry out this important
mission, and the TRIBUNE can think of
no man who is better qualified to fulfill
the important trust. Having been in
Great Falls three years and being a close
observer he is perhaps as we'll posted on
u varied resources as any man that
could be chosen. He has seen the towr
grow from a village to the third city il
importance in the state, and is thus wei
posted on real estate values. As a bust.
ness man, his history here and the evi.
dence of his neighbors is his best enco-
MUM. Exact in business, atfable and
courteous to those coming in contact
with him, of unquestioned integrity and
earnest conviction, he would be a repre-
sentative worthy of Great Falls, and one
who. while indulging in no wild stories,
would at all times faithfully and truth
fully represent u varied interests and
wonderful resources.

THE number OF petty rllnes that are

prompt our officials to redouble their ex-

cry instance "make it warm" for the evil

enough to contend with the criminals let
