TIMBER VS..

The arrest Of Messrs. Grant and Ross,
although a mere Formally, has caused
much indignation among the people of
this city. The indictment was a malic-
ious act, unworthy of a United States
grand jury. 1t is surmised that the com.
plant was made by some person here.
If 81 he will find the place hot for him
as soon as he becomes known. The act
was clearly one of petty malice, intended
to annoy-for it cannot %injure-the CON
tractors, who are we'll knownand esteem
ed in this region, where they have dis
burssd many thousand dollars among
workmen and teamsters, always fulfilling
their promises to the letter and dealing
fairly with everyone.
Any men who have supplied ties for
the Great Falls & Canada railroad have
done right to cut them in the crags and
crevices where the trees are going to
waste. The trees used for such purpose
are the small white pine which never
grow any larger and soon rot or burn
when they are not cut down. The wood
men have simply exercised a right which
has been enjoyed by every Montana rail.
road company as well as by every COM
pany that has built track through this
territory or state. 1t it the hest use to
which such timber can he put and both
the general government and Montana
ought to be glad that the timber grows
on our soil.
1t should be borne in mind that the
Great Falls T. Canada railroad is Il Mon
tana enterprise which will confer great
benefits on northern counties. 1t has
been built with the energy for which
Grant & Ross are renowned and is open
ing up to settlement, districts
which were practically closed to :the
immigrant. 1t Is adding to the taxable
property Of this and Choteau county
and providing us with access to the Can
adian market. In view of such benefits /
is outrageous that the contractors should
be made the objects of petty malice
which has no justification.
Very different has been the conduct o.
grand juries In regard to the Northern
Pacific. That company has been &C
corded facilities for building its track ant
has been allowed to take freely all thu
timber it needed.

The James q. Blame who tried to alb
rogate the Bulwer treaty and Secretary
Blaine appear very unlike. There art
indications that Secretary Blaine is pre-.
pairing the country for submission to
british demands although "the British
premier is advancing some most absurd
contentious" and a "'certain quality of
menace has been impaired to his later
tones" We are further told in the New
York Tribune which speaks for Mr..
Blaine that "no one supposes that her
government or ours. her people or ours,
would do anything which would justify
a war. We are of one flesh and blood"
This is not the soft talk that people ex-
pected of Mr.. blaine. The two countries
were "of one blood" in ITO and 1912 as
we'll as in 1863 when British cruisers des-
troyed American shipping. So long as
that stubborn old tory Lord Salisbury is
premier, our country must present a
firm, defiant attitude in order to maintain
her rights.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 10. 1880.
THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The state Of trade has bright and dark
aspects. The extreme heat has curtailed
the volume of business which had been
much greater than last years at the cor
responding :period. In New York, the
bank clearings were % per cent less last
week than those Of the corresponding
week in 1889. In so other cities, the de-
crease is 2.3 per cent. The price Of iron
shows no improvement. There is drouth
in Missouri and Nebraska. Raw wool
continues dull, But cotton is recovering
from the recent depression.
The dark side of things is more than
Offset by the increase of railroad earnings
for June, which show an increase of 6.65
per cent on those in the corresponding
month last year. This increase falls
short of that in May, which showed a
gain of over ID per cent. The gain for
the six months was 11.s per cent. on a
mileage increase OF 2.6 per cent. These
statistics are from 1888 railroads, repre-
senting nearly all the traffic Of the coun-
try.
In Montana staples, wool excepted, the
outlook is fair. The passing of the silver
bill has removed all doubt ON that score.
The Chicago cattle market continues
steady despite large receipts. Sheep
fetch a fair price. Mining exchanges
have been opened in Helena and Butte.
Mining in general continues active In the
leading camps. Barker and Neihart are
receiving more attention from the best
class of mining men, while Castle Is en-
joying unexpected prosperity.
In northern Montana the Great Falls &
Canada railroad is making steady prog
ress toward Lethbridge and has already
hauled a good deal of wool. The prepar-
ations for the building of the Great
Norshern's Pacific extension have reached
an advanced stage and give an assurance
that much work will be done this year.
This important work and the improve
ments at Great Falls afford promise of II
busy summer and fall IN this progressive
region, 1t is hoped that large crops will
swell the volume of prosperity which
o seems within reach.

OUR intelligent wool-growers are
thoroughly disguised with the campaign
tariff buncombe Of the republicans of this
state. For two years past they were told
to vote for Carter and high prices fol
wool would surely follow. Last year the
menace of the Mills bill" kept the wool
men from getting only % cents a pound
for their ~t1eeces, and now with an abso.
lutte assurance that the tariff bill will pass,
with a republican in the wbite-house
and with a republican majority in each
house OF congress, the wool market is
stagnant throughout the country and
Montana flockmasters are offered from
10 to IL cents a pound for their product.
What a wonderful thing this tariff is, and
especially for the Montana wool growers!

In Minnesota the republicans evince
signs of distrust, The state auditor,
treasurer and lieutenant governor are
each reluctant to run again on the Mer-
ram ticket, although it is customary To
give state officials a second term. The
party managers FIND it hard to make out
a state ticket in which due regard will
be paid to the locality cry. Strong men
are unwilling TO incur the risk of defeat
in this time of unrest, when the whole
STATE ticket is likely to sink or swim to.

for "boodle." Those who sold their votes
last time are just MS ready to sell them

THE Anaconda Standard remarks that
Power and Sanders were absent wher
the vote was taken to take up the tariff
bill in preference to the conference re-
port on the silver bill. 1t adds: ISLANDERS
and Power do not appear in this count.
Silver is in pretty hard lines when, at a
critical moment, Montana is silent and
the metal has to be carried by South
Carolina, Arkansas and other distant
states. Sanders and Power dare not
stand up against the republican who
dare tolerate them in the senate. They
are creatures Of the majority, not honest
members of that body. They lodged
last Monday, just as Carter lodged when
silver was in a perilous situation at the
opening ofthe debate in the house. Their
title is held is such contempt that no
self. respecting senator deems it an even
deal, man for man, when asked to pair
with them"

Returned to Great Falls.

DR.. H. G.. Pinney, lately in charge OF
the city practice at indianapolis, came in
from the east Sunday and will take
charge Of the practice at Sand Coulee.
DR.. Pinney came to Great Falls with the
construction force three years ago and at
that time had great faith in the future of
the town. During his absence he has
tried to imagine what the city would be
with the recent Improvements, but he
was greatly surprised at the s.gns of
growth which he saw. He was lately at
Sault st. Marie and in comparing the two
places he remarked that the $780,
which was founded in 1861, is now only
IA little larger than Great Falls, which is
about three years old.

SEA.

All at ono the claims of England relat-
ing to Behring sea have assumed a threat
ening character. The waters hnown as
Behring sea were regarded by the Rus
SLAMS as a mare clausum or closed sen,
something like our Lake Michigan or the
Black sea, which is closed at the Darda-
nelles 20 war vessels. When we bought
Alaska We acquired the Russian rights in
Behring sea, and have maintained them
chiefly to protect the seal fisheries. The
English have regarded IL claims with
disfavor and seem now resolved to put
them to the test. They are concentrating
war vessels al Esquimault on the Van
couve island coast with the purpose
of protecting the British sealers.
England has also strengthened her de-
fenses at Halifax and increased her naval
forces there and at the Bermudas. fThese
movements have created suspicion at
Washington and conveyed the impression
that England is engaged in Il game of
bluff. The New York Tribune which
has close relations with Secretary Blaine,
cells England IN effect that this will not
do. 1t says: "If England desired this
display to be interpreted by the United
States as "a menace. she is engaged in a
foolish and regretable business. 1t Is not
agreeable to a spirited people to feel that
an effort j. being made to them into

lT appears from the Boston tel. graphic
report of the wool market which we pub
fish today that the demand tor wool is
still dull. Manufacturers are buying
only in small lots. There is nothing of
consequence doing in Montana woods, al
though there must be a good deal in the
market now. As neither manufacturers
nor dealers are disposed to engage liz
speculation, Il quiet market Is looked for
during the current month.

WHEN the Beiir.ng sea CORRESPONDENCE
Is published we will all know what Eng
land wants and what position Mr.. Blaine
holds. England has done wrong in try
Ing to bluff this country. If we desired
to play the same game we could concen-
trate $4,000 troops on the Canadian bor-
der in a few days. John Bull should
keep cool. With Ireland still disaffected
and continental Europe little better than
an armed camp, England cannot afford to
be spelling for a fight.

the last we shall hear of the conflict.

SOME senators, especially new ones, are
becoming more radical than the radicals.
Senator Pettigrew, for instance, insisted
that the senate should establish practical.

has enforced in the house. Even Ingalls,
could not stand it. but he was overcome
by others who in caucus passed a resolu-
ton to limit debate en- the national cleo

will ruin the republican party.

MONTANA WOODS.

There is nothing of consequence doing
in Montana woods, ind prices in the in
terror are held too high to admit of oper-
atoms to any extent by eastern dealers.
On a secured basis the sales have been
principally at so cents for fine, which is
as high as manufacturers wish to pay for
the best woods; and fine medium sells at
SO to SO cents. For medium the secured
cost Is about SO to IS cents per pound.
In spring Texas wool there has been a
very good business done, and sales of
24s,O0O pounds principally fine, at 30 to
20 cents per pound, while 25 cents is an
outside price for the choicest long staple
wool on the market. The demand for
western unwashed and understandable
tleeces has been fair, and sales are re
ported of $1,000 pounds not unwashed
Ohio at 2S cents, $4,000 pounds New
York fine unwashed at 10 to 20 cents,
$4,000 pounds unwashed and unmerchant-
able at 10 to % cents, 10000 pounds n
washed and understandable at 10 to 90
cents, and 10000 pounds fine unwashed
at 1S to 10 cents per pounds. The mar
ket is very quiet for pulled wool, and the
sales of the past week have been small,
amounting to only 1900 pounds. In
prices there is no material change, and
the principal sales of super have been at
30 to 40 cents and of extra at 20 to ~
cents per pound.

The General situation,

BOSTON, Mass, July 10.--There Is a
dull movement to report in wool on this
market the past week. Manufacturers
have not been present in large numbers,
and those that have been here have been
buying only in small lots, as needed for
their immediate wants. The business of
the week has been curtailed as we'll by
the holidays that have occurred, and the
market has not since fully recovered
from this interference, although at the
close there was more inquiry reported
and Il disposition on the part of manu-
facturers to buy freely. The largest sale
of domestic wool reported is one of
about 10000 pounds of spring Texas,
and aside from this no large lots have
beer moved. There is no desire on the
part of manufacturers or dealers to spec
ulate in wool, and the market has been
freer than usual from this element. 1t
is generally believed that buyers Will
pursue u cautious policy for some time to
come, and that the present month will
witness u comparatively quiet trade
There have been larger receipts OF wash
ed ~t1eeces, and rather more business do.
ing in them. but many dealers are only
just opening up their woods, and hence
the trade has not got fully started.
OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA.
In Ohio and Pennsylvania ieeces there
have been sales of 10000 pounds, mostly
new wool, and the prices obtained show
no material change from those quoted fol
some time past, extra selling at 81 to 81
cents, and double extra and above at 81
to "a cents, hut such were not confirmed
and manufacturers have not shown much
interest even at the inside prices. There
IS a moderate demand for cOmbing and
delaine fleeces but not much doing ~
yet. No. / Ohio combing has been sole
in a small way at 40 cents, and this price
is generally quoted, while Michigan II
held ut 80 to 80 cents. In regard to fin.
delaine selections and their value there i.
some hesitancy among dealers abou'
naming a public price. The sales of the
week, amounting to 10000 pounds Michi
gan and $1,000 pounds Ohio, are all re
ported on private terms. The quotations
are placed at So to Sc cents for Ohio ant
"a to 35 cents for Michigan, but it is safe
to say that the inside prices are about a.
high as manufacturers wish to pay, anC
with larger offerings dealers will be
barely able to sustain the market on tina
basis. In unwashed combing wool there
has been nothing of consequence doing
and only small sales of three-eighths
