Cheap Ice for Paterson.

Mr.. q. B. Daniels, who is building the
artificial ce-making machine in the old
Cooke Works, says, instead of using city
water he will use water from the old
artesian well on the grounds. 1t is 300
feet deep with capacity of eighty gal
Ions a minute. The well supplies the
purest drinking water in Paterson, and
was sunk to supply the shop hands. This
will be used in making the ice, giving it
a purity impossible to obtain otherwise.

WELCOME no GREA1' FALLSi

The people of Great Falls extend a
hearty welcome to the visitors from st.
Paul and Minneapolis. We are all graft
fed that they have come to see for them
selves the marked progress which has
been made here within the last three
years.
The visitors whose names are familiar
to US all, find themselves here among
western people, many of whom are proud
that their early years we're cast among the
founders of the Twin Cities-men whose
dauntless enterprise and irrepressible an
ergy gave the first impulse to that pro-
gressive movement which now embraces
the Dakotas, Montana and Washington,
as we'll as the North Star state which
shines in theAmerican constellation with
undimmed ~brillancy.
For the benefit Of our visitors we print
today much general Information relative
to Great Falls and the country which is
commercially tributary to her. We ex.
press the sentiment of the people of
Great Falls when we say to u guests
Gentlemen, you are heartily welcome.
We trust that you will enjoy your visit
and that it may result in close business
relations between Great Falls and the
merchants of the twin cities who are
commercially and financially our friends
aud natural allies in the advancement of
Montana"

ORGANIZE! organize! Such should be
the watchword. The Butte Miner says
"The forthcoming political contest in
Montana will be n of the most impor-
tant in the history of the state. 1t is a
question of the honor, the intelligence
and the independence of the people of
the state, and the democratic
party is looked to for the
defense and maintenance of each.
As has been stated in these columns
heretofore, the democrats can win a glo.
rious victory and the people a splendid
vindication by proper and early organiza.
ton. This point has been we'll put by 4
leading democrat, who calls upon the
party to begin the skirmishing for the fight
at once. Do not walt for the final plunge
expecting to win by the force of a brilliant
dash, but work now; see that the truth
is spread among the people; allow no re-
publican soothsayer to mislead them;
undo the cunning work of the "protec-
ton" confidence men who are going
about the country making love to the
laboring men through the carefully Sc
lected catchwords of the campaign; edu-
cate the masses as to the robbery now
being perpetrated upon them through
the Mckinley tariff bill; show them the
utter falsity of every claim that the re-
publican party has been or is the friend
of silver and remind them hat upon the
result of the election depends the politi-
cal honor of the state.'

The Inter Mountain, which is sane on
everything but party politics, says: "Jim
Hill, ofthe Great Northern, is not rushing
all over Montana for nothing. He is
building up business, looking for a west
ern outlet and keeping a sharp eye on his
competitors. We believe he will build
to Anaconda before snow flies and thence
to the Mlssoula forests and mines and
farms. Missoula is destined to be one of
the richest counties In the state, and its
business with Butte will always be
great. The Northern Pacific pen.
etrates its most productive part
and what is now wanted is a road
connecting Butte directly with the
Bitter Root valley. Jim Hill is the man
for the occasion. We do not expect that
lie will entirely desert Helena or abolish
the Helena station, but it is evident thath he
must depend on the west side for traffic"
We hope Mr.. Hill will make the propos-
ed extensions. They will form with the
Pacific extension from Great Falls, profit
able additions to the Great Northern sys-
tenn.

The fax plant grows wild all over the
p%rairles and hills of Montana anu the
above question has often been suggested
on this subject. A st. Paul special of
June Sd gives the following facts: "The
increase in the acreage of flax in the
northwest has been the glaatest this sea-
son since the farmers began to raise it.
The Dakotas and Minnesota, on a little
under 100000 acres, raised, in round num-
hers, 100000 bushels of flaxseed. This
year careful inquiry shows the acreage
to be nearly twice as much as last year.
Allowing the production to equal 10
bushels an acre, the result will be $780,.
900 bushels Of tlaxseed. When 1t is re.
membered that the production of the
country has averaged emily about 5000,
600 bushels, the nOrthwest's increase IN
acreage and probable production is an
important matter. 1t is usually the
last crop to be planted, and it is
not too late for it now. Attention was
first called to the heavy increase in acre
age by the great quantity OF seed called
for. In all localities where 1t was grown
before the acreage Is reported TO be very
much larger. But the greatest increase
in flax culture this year is 10 sections
that did not raise flax before. The fax
area has been limited mostly to southern
Minnesota and southern Dakota. Farm
ers went into flax when the wheat failed
for a few seasons. Last year there was a
practical wheat failure in central and
North Dakota and flax has gone into the
ground there as it did a few years ago in
the southern sections. Fax was above
81 a bushel last fall when wheat sold for
half that OF the farm. The cost to raise
either was about the same, as there was
but little difference in the yield per acre.
It IS to be hoped that the heavy increase
in production will not affect prices un-
favorably, though an increase of 45 per
cent on last years production in the
whole country will naturally have that
tendency.
Linseed oil, the oil of flax seed, is used
for all kinds of painting, for making oil
cloths, oil silks, etc., its manufacture be-
ing among our most important industries
and the parent of many others.
E. R. Clingan of Belt has had practical
experience in the culture of the flax
plant and is able to give much valuable
advice on this subject.
Last year South Dakota produced over
100000 bushels of flax seed. After the
oil is separated from the seed the residue
called oil cake is valuable for ~fattening
stock. The fiber Of the plant is manufac-
tured into rope, binder Irvine, paper and
fine linen cloths. Cascade county is suit
ed by nature for the growth of the plant,
and Great Falls has the power and CAPT.
tai to start mills. Now if the right par
ties could be found to agltate tie subject
there is no doubt that a profitable bust
ness could he established

THE INDIAN
SATURDAY, JUNE a, 1880.

Except the proposed appropriation to
rid Montana of the C%heyennes nothing
final has been done this season to clear
out the Indians and open up all the Mon
tana reservations. Yet the time has
come when men of all parties in Montana
might unite in demanding that the Grow
and the Flataead reservations be thrown
open or reduced to reasonable limits.
What is left of the northern reservation
is also too large. Let the American peo-
pie compare the northern reservation as
it was with the progressive districts that
have taken its place. The Milk river
valley and other places that formed part
of the reservation are now the home OF
fruitful herds and tlocks. The ranges
provide abundance of good grass for
stock, which had eaten bare the Sun riv-
er and other plains. Towns and
hamlets have sprung up. The railroad time
tables show u long list of stations
where none were allowed until the fiat
went forth that the reservation must be
abolished. Prospectors are busy in quest
of coal and other minerals. They are
free to record their mines when they
find them. The Great Falls & Canada
railroad is being built without any de-
lay such as the Manitoba encountered at
the hands of congress and the president.
The school-master and the tax-collector
are abroad, and are doing their part in
promoting the public welfare. All this
progress is the result of less than three
years. freedom. 1t teaches an eloquent
lesson to the country at large for it shows
hat the time has come to put the white
man on an equal footing with the Indian
as regards the public domain.

HEAVILY INCREASED RAILWAY
EARNINGS.

B~RADsTREET's says: "lf gross railroad
earnings returns are any index to the
condition of general trade, the returns for
May are indicative of great activity. Ger
tainly the ratio of gain shown in May
over Il year ago has, considering the nun.
Der of roads reported, rarely been exceed
ed of late years, and has not been equaled
at all this year. Even the favorable show
ing made in April has been eclipsed by
the month just closed, and the same is
true of January's heavy gain. The returns
show that freight and passenger rate
troubles in the sections affected have
been largely lost sight Of in the heavy
volume of traffic handled by all roads,
"At the south the cotton crop move
ment, as is usual at this period, is light,
but the remarkable activity in industrial!
lines, and the subsistence of the floods in
most sections, Is reflected in very heavy
gains, both individually and collectively,
IN the southern states. The situation in
the southwest continues as before, the
strongest feature in the exhibit rejecting
a heavy tarftic and little or 10 effect from
rate troubles west of the Mississippi. The
Pacific road closely approach the southern
group in percentage of gain. The low
rates ruling west have evidently not fa-
vored water transportation, at least the
reports from most of the companies con
tiguous to the lakes and canals show lit
tie effect from water competition. Con
trasting sharply with the general pros
perity of railroads in this country are the
three Mexican companies reported, each
of which show a decrease"

The capital question is still the lead
ing topic IN the state. The Helena pa
pers are the only ones which do not seem
to enjoy saying much about it and they
prefer a discussion of the czar's domestic
policy or of the Castle (paper) railroad.
There is not much doubt that the capital
will be somewhere else than at Helena
arter 1882. or the cities on the east side
Great Falls seems to have the strongest
support and, in the event of the capital
remaining on the other side of the range,
the Falls City would probably receive
the support of Anaconda and Butte with
some of the other cities on the west side.

A PARTY plot.

We regret that in Montana, the bad
example has been set of making the
federal ensus II party machine. In all
states, people of all parties have
united in promoting the success of the
census. None of them have tried to use
it for partisan purposes. Public senti-
ment would have resisted strongly any
such attempt. Even where towns pro-
posed to aid the enumerators so as to
make their work thorough and complete,
the superintendent of the census "sat
down" on the boomers and decided that
they must not interfere with the regular
work of the enumerators.
The following letter which the indie
pendent has brought to light shows how
badly Montana figures in this matter:
HELENA, Mont, 5-2s, 1890.
DEAR SIR: You have been appointed
as II of the census enumerat0rs, and In
that capacity you can be of important
service to the republican county commit
tee of Lewis and Clarke county In gain
ing the information while enumerating
the citizens as to their political com
plexion. Being a member of IL party,
we have the right to ask your kind and
hearty cooperation in furnishing lis,
privately and in confidence, the political
complexion of every voter in your district
in other words, when enumeratlng, ascer.
tain ii the party is democratic, indepen
dent or republican, and SO designate, and
ut an early date furnish me with such n
list for the use of the county committee.
Should, however, the work of listing the
complexion of all the voters be too much
of a task, we hope that you will at least
give US the republicans in your district.
Relying upon your loyalty to the party
and the object that we have in view, and
your kind and hearty CO. cooperation, am,
respectfully yours,
(Signed) r. II. KLEINscHMIDT,
Chairman.
The conduct of the chairman of the re-
publican county committee is %censurable
for many reasons. He assumed in the
first place that the party has "a right" to
ask enumerators to make a party census.
This amounts to imposing work on che
enumerator for which he will not be paid.
That is an odious abuse of the much
talked of civil service reform.
In the next place, Mr.. Kleinschmidt
would make the census an inquisitorial
agency. He would be a party to q scheme
by which people would be led to declare
their political principles on the assump-
ton that they were bound to do SO.
Nothing could be further from the spirit
and purpose of the federal census than
such needless curiosity. In these days of
political unrest, no man should be asked
by a federal official to put himself on rec
ord in the manner Mr.. Kleinschmidt pro
posed.
We do not wonder that there are grave
complaints In Helena at the way the CEN
sus was taken. When the enumeratora
found themselves treated as party hacks
is it any wonder that some of them slight
ed their works and failed to give Helena
the ample numbers for which she signs?

ACCORDING to our telegraphic market
reports, copper is 16 cents per pound at
New York. This means a paying price
for all grades. Yet congress will not
leave we'll enough alone, but at the bid
ding of Mckinley is reducing the duty
from three to two cents per pound.
While Pennsylvania and New England
are allowed the full Measure of protec-
ton Mckinley singles out one of Mon
tana's leading industries for attack, in
order that he may be able to point out
some reductions. Copper producers feel
secure, but n of the best authorities on
the subject informs us that the copper
industry would have been crushed if the
French syndicate had been able to ship
hack the copper which they procured
from this country. If there is to be pro-
it should be fairly distrlb uted.
