had never visited Fort Sill, the proposed
future home of the Apache Indians, and

Missouri Man.


ST. LOUIS, Feb. l9.-Charles Vail was ar
rested this afternoon ON n warrant sworn
out at 81. Charles charging him with the
murder of his wife, Fanny Vail. This is the

visit. and. when about TO return, she was
fatally wounded by the discharge of his TO-

FACTS!
-DY-
Z. V. SMALLEY,
-OF--
ST. PAUL, MINI.

Mlssoula has now at least a.
500 people, and is growing at a
rate that will bring it up to Io,-
900 by the end of 1891. New
and important developments have
taken place in the railway situa-
ton in Western Montana. They
are making of Missoula a great
transportation center, and are
going soon to give it the control
of the trade of large regions of
country which have heretofore
been cut off from it by formidable
mountain barriers.
AT Missoula the Hell Gate
river is formed by the Bitter
Root, which forms one of the
most beautiful and fertile of all
the valleys in the Rocky Noun
tains-a valley 100 miles long,
with a width of from two to seven
miles, and with large resources
in its irrigated farms, its silver
mines and its forests of pine and
spruce.
The Bitter Root is the only
fruit-growing valley in all Mon
tana.
Missoula is the county seat of a
county that embraces the whole
of Northwestern Montana, with
an area of $1,000 square miles.
1t is larger than the state of
Massachusetts.
Missoula occupies one of the
most beautiful sites ever prepared
by nature for the uses of a large
town. 1t is called the Garden
City from its gardens, orchards
and towns.
Missoula is becoming one OF
the most important points on the
Northern Pacific system.
The Bitter Root Valley branch
diverges here and runs up the
valley fifty miles to Grantsdale.
1t will soon be extended about
forty miles further, to the head of
the valley. The new cutoff line
to the Ceur d'Alene mining
towns, also leaves the main line
at Missoula. This road already
partly finished will effect a saving
of sixty-five miles in distance over
the present route, and will as a
consequence become the route of
the through trains to the Pacific
coast. The Northern Pacific has
projected a line through the Flat
head valley to the fine agricul-
tural region and the coal fields
north of Flathead Lake. This
road will be about $50 miles long,
and there is no question as to
its early construction. The Wash
ington and Idaho line, already
completed as far east as Mullan,
has been located to Missoula.
The Great Northern has deter
mined to start this year for the
Pacific Coast. One survey, and
the easiest for crossing the Rock
les, takes the roadup to the Dear
born river, through Cadets Pass,
and down the Big Blackfoot to
Missoula. Should a northern
route be selected the development
of farms and mines and lumber
industries in the northern part OF
Missoula county that would fol.
low, could not fail to be of great
benefit TO the city.
During the past year the out
put of lumber from the Missoula
district amount I'd TO oo,ooo,oOo
feet, and the industry employed
nearly 1000 men.
The best coal yet discovered
in western Montana is found in
the upper valley of the Flathead
river, north Of Missoula.
Petroleum has been discovered
north of Flathead Lake.

portation and prohibiting the importation
of adulterated articles for food or drink;

luton respecting the allegation that by
reason of the excessive freight rates ON lines
of railroads the great section of country ly-
ing between the Rocky mountains and the
principal food distributing centers in the
east, is unable 10 market its food products
and obtain for them the actual cost of the
productions; and directing the commission
ers to investigate such allegations and TO re-
port TO the senate whether such rates are
reasonable or unreasonable: whether the re-
duction of such rates is prevented or him
dered by reason of any provision of the in
terRtate commerce act: whether more
stringent enforcement of the act is prac-
ticable and would remedy the evil complain
ed of. The resolution was agreed TO.
The resolution heretofore offered. calling
on the attorney general for information ar
to the assassination of w. b. Saunders,
deputy United States marshal in the north
ern district Of Florida wns taken up. Pas
co proceeded to address the senate in ex-
plRnaiion of the facts and circumstances of
the case. Pasco had not concluded his
statement when the educational bill came
up as unfinished business. Blair, however,
yielded the floor temporarily.
Plumb inquired of Morrill,, chairman of
the committee on finance, as to the bill
concerning the lease of the seal islands of
Alaska. Morrill, replied that since the bill
was reported on Feb. 4 there had been no
| time when hearing on the subject could
be had. The committee had learned IL
would he injurious 10 the government and
perhaps unfair to any new competitors 10
postpone the time for making the lease, the
resolution having been adopted that the
secretary of the treasury should postpone
the lease until Feb. 20. The advertise
ment had been till the 2lst. That was
stated 10 be the last day for allowing new
bidders fair opportunity with the present
company, and he was instructed by tho
committee on finance not TO press the bill
Plumb-l suppose the committee has not

but also that the secretary of the treasury
will. on the 2lst of the present month, pro
ceed TO make new lease for twenty years.

gress does not take action ON tine subject.
Blair resumed his argument in favor pf

Without concluding his speech Blair
yielded for an executive session after which
