MCKINLEY has backed down and
placed hides again on the free list. So
much for the deep concern which he
protested for the stock-owners. Blaine
intended that this proposed duty on hides
should aid his reciprocity scheme, but the
shoe manufacturers would not hnmor
the secretary of state to that extent.
They could not afford to have their busl-
ness disturbed for the sake of diplomatic
experiments. 1t is reported that McKin-
ley has also thrown the sugar duties
overheard, with the exception of those or
refined sugars. He has done this to make
people believe that he is reducing the
revenue considerably. There are other
duties which the country could spare
better than those on sugar which are not
felt by consumers.

AN elaborate scheme has been develop
on paper in Helena for stock-yards,

hope it will realize, but we have mis-
givlngs. 1t is at Great Falls amid the
great ranges that such an establishment
ought to be founded. By doing so need
less expense would be saved and the
dressed meat dealers might be able to
send that product to the east, In compe-
tition with the meat which Chicago sends
to St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. We
have here water and cattle. We will
soon have a very large home market.

GREAT FALLS should have lawns in
large number. The residence lots ad-
init Of ample space for them. The Pho
neer Press gives this useful advice for
putting lawns in good order: "Lawns
that have become worm out, and where 1t
is not convenient or desirable to renew
them by blowing up, may be greatly bene-
flied by running a light harrow over, If
the surface is large, or by a sharp steel
rake for smaller areas, after stirring the
surface by such means judiciously, so as
not to severely hurt the roots. Lawn
grass should then be sown, after harrow
ing or raking, using about half the
quantity required for new lawns. After
sowing, the surface should be narrowed
or raked over and finally rolled or beaten
down."

MTSSOULA'S NEW MAYOR.

Great Falls feels personal interest in
the election of William J. Kennedy as
mayor of Missoula. Mayor Kennedy is
uncle of our esteemed tellow-citizen, W.
J.. Kennedy, who takes a turn at politics
himself. Appended is a sketch from the
Missoula Gazette, which shows how
closely connected Mayor Kennedy has
been with this region.
William j.. Kennedy was born in Ohio
on August IS, 1885, and raised on a farm
there, but quilted that life at an early age
to enlist in the army, joining the Tenth
U. s. infantry, and serving his country
for five years. In 1860 he went to Cali
fornla and mined along the banks and
bars of the old Feather river. In 1851
he proceeded to the Orc Fine mines In
W. T., and in 1868 came through by the
Elk City and Florence trail to Fort Ben
ton. From that point he paid a visit to
old friends in the eastern states via the
Missouri. The following year he return
ed to Fort Benton and started out on a
prospecting expedition, taking only a few
days provisions with him, as he expected
to return oon However, he did not get
back as quickly as he l~ntended-in fact,
did not get back until the spring of 1866,
having lived some five months on buffalo
meat straight, and had been nearly frozen
to death. He went to Silver City, pros.
pecting, and then to Virginia City, from
which point he went to Omaha for his
family. Returning with them to Helena,
he took up a ranch on the Prickly Pear,
which is still called Kennedy's ranch.
In 1865 MI. Kennedy sold out his ranch
and went to Benton, where he kept a no.
tel. Not getting paid for his ranch &C.
cording to promise he determined to re-
occupy it in 1867. On his return to his
ranch with his wife and one child they were
surprised and captured by the Indians on
a hill near the Dearborn, who took a vote
whether they should kill them or not.
The result of the vote was a tie. Through
the vote and the influence of a half breed
who knew the Kennedys they were al
lowed to go free. A maj was murdered
at the very same place the following day
by the same band of Indians. In 1871 he
came to Missoula, where he has been en-
gagged in ranching and in the hotel bust
ness. Mr.. Kennedy was married to Miss
Lizzie Swaney in Richland county, Ohio,
Dec. IA, 1862. His brave, excellent wife
Upper Missouri in a macklnaw, which
adventurous feat she fearlessly performed
in the summer of 1865.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. APRIL 10. 1890
TILLARD'S VISIT.

THE Twin Cities are uniting. In 1888
they sent rival deputations to meet Mr..
Willard, but this time they mel him uni
teddy. Mr.. Willard said to them: ave
are constructing and have constructed
during the past twelve months a CT off
line of the Northern Pacific, which will
reduce the distance to the great mining
camp of Butte City to the extent of 1928
miles, and will give St. Paul and Mime
apolis the shortest railroad line to that
important centre. We are building what
might be called a cutoff line from near
Missoula on the main line to the Ceur
d'Alene silver regions, which line will, l
am sure, open new avenues Of trade for
the Twin Cities. President Cakes, who
has, as most of you are aware, been to the
Pacific coast recently, has brought back
with him d very large construction pro-
gramme. have been going over it with
him during the last few days, and l am
quite sure that the entire programme will
be carried out. The programme means
the construction of an entire new system
of tributary lines in southeastern, south
ern and southwestern Washington. We
have spent some twelve millions of dol
lars within two years in constructing
branches, and | do not hesitate to say that
in the next five years we shall spend from
fifty to sixty millions more. This is as
much as was spent under my admlnistra-
ton of the Northern Pacific during my
palmlest days, and as previous expendi-
lures have proved, if l may SO express it,
great Fertilizers, great producers of
wealth not only for the people along the
lines but for those of the two cities, l an
sure the same effect will be felt again.
So much for the doings of the railsoad
enterprise"
Mr.Nillard had doubtless in mind some
Montana branches when he made these
remarks.
Mr.. Willard added that the Meeker
island scheme did not TURF out as he ex-
pected. Instead of $4,000 horsepower
only t,000 Of 1000 could be derived from
that place. But he promised that cen
trail power stations to difuse electricity
shall be founded in each OF the Twins.

The Northwest Magazine for April,
comes f%reighted with much information
from the pen of Col. Smalley and his
staff. The article on Eastern Washing
ton and Northeln Idaho, by Col. Smalley
is a model Of descriptive writing and con.
tains just the facts which the great home
less public seek. Spokane Falls is illus
trated splendidly. There is no "Bird's
Eye View" among the pictures to make
people suppose that the city was COM
posed of a few rows of shacks.
Some extracts are given from the re-
port of j. Y. Tanning, "who is one OF the
foremost authorities on water powers IN
the United States" He estimates tine
the water-power at 20,3O7 gross horse
powers.
Mr.. Tanning says that 100000 horse
power has the possibility of becoming a
splendid property. That portion of tn.
water power already developed at Min
neapolis is not greater than this, yet the
Sy 6utdCiCu dDOub ~, LAS uuEluB t1t
last decade doubled itself at the rate of
once in four years and now aggregates
100000 population. Holyoke, with its
great paper and machine manufacturing
industries, uses 1900 horsepower. Man
chester, Lowell and Lawrence, the great
cotton manufacturing cities of New
England, use each their maximum of
10000 horsepower and are rapidly sup
piementing them with steam-power and
their respective mills and mill yards
cover more than a hundred acres in each
city"
Mr.. Tanning considers that "cheap
power is the potent influence that will
stimulate immigration into and produc-
ton in all this great area and make its
railway lines busy bringing in the
raw materials and distributing it,
manufactured goods" He observes shat
It's nearest rivals, Great Falls and Helena,
are 400 miles easterly across the Rockies,
and the Pacific coast cities are 400 miles
westerly" The inference is plain from
this that Great Falls, with her enormous
available water power, will far Guido Spo-
Kane Falls, with '20,307 horse power.
Niagara Falls, and all other falls.

In Chicago the strike goes on with in
dications that over a hundred Thousand
people will be thrown out OF employment.
The carpenters and j~oiners ask 40 cents
per hour for eight bours work instead of
So cents per hour as heretofore. The
carpenters union is composed of 561
branches with a membership of $4,000.
In Chicago where the carpenters began
the eight hour labor strike, the union has
1000 members. 1t is to be hoped for the
benefit of all concerned that a satisfactory
settlement will soon be made.

BLAINE's reciprocity scheme seems to
be knocked higher than a kite by the
new hide and sugar deal. He has now
nothing to offer the American states by
way of reciprocity except free wool.
But as the Argentine republic is the only
great, wool producer, free wool would
not concern Mexico or the other repub-
lies. The Harrison faction will not al
low Blaine to become too prominent I'M
til after 1899; then he may expand as
much as he likes.

NEIHART AND BARKER.

IT does credit to the Neihart miners
that they welcomed the railroad surveyors
md gave them every facility in their
power for locating the road right into the
heart of the camp. The track may be
open for traffic by the 18th Of July. We
hope that the claims of Barker will like
wise receive speedy attention. Both
camps will be great ore producers and
will provide abundant traffic for the two
branches that will diverge at Monarch.
