Sun BRICK OMPANY.
One of the Important Institutions of Great
Falls-Capacity SO, 0 a Day.

Falls-Capacity $4,000 a Day.
One of the most important industrial
companies which has recently been in
corporated by our citizens is the Sun
Brick company. 1t is we'll known that
large deposits Of excellent clay are found
in this immediate neighborhood and the
making of brick has given employment
to many men since the existence of this
town. 1t remains with the Sun Brick
company to be the first to erect a large
steam plant for making brick at the rate
of about $4,000 per day.
This company was recently incorpor-
ated by Il. E. Collins, Frank Coombs,
VIM. Roberts, H. o. Chowen, j. Il. Arm
ington and j. Stewart Tod. These gen
tlemen brought to this town Mr.. r. A.
Masberson who is well recommended to
them as having great experience in brick
machines, and 1t is a matter of interest
and instruction to visit their yard and
see their powerful and complete machin-
cry turning OF large quantities of bricks
without apparent effort. Owing to the
recent unfavorable weather the opera
tions of this company have been %curtail-
ed. Arrangements are now being made
to overcome this disadvantage and t.
make this company so far as possible in
dependent of the elements.
In olden times it was impossible to
make bricks without straw. And even
in modern times it is equally impossible
to build up a town without bricks.
We welcome this company in our
midst and regard it as an assurance of
the continuous growth of the city.
Extensive operations of the company
contemplate the manufacture of all ar
ticles produced from clay, from the cheap
est to the most expensive grades. Stuff
cient work is now on hand and under
contract to employ from twenty-five to
thirty men in making the common va
riety of building bricks, and machinery
is on the way for the disintergation of
clay and the manufacture of pressed
bricks and the more expensive varieties
of clay products.

The Helena Independent says it "pro-
poses to issue a supplement shortly in
which will be published the names of
citizens worth $4,000 and upward who
have never contributed a dollar to any
enterprise to promote the advancement
of Helena" This means that the indie
pendent will require a whole supplement
to advertise to the world the names of
men who are too meal and too stingy to
live in any progressive city. The list
promises to be an interesting n and
a t~ell-tale one, taking into account the
many failures that city has experienced
in inaugurating commendable enterpri-
SEES. Now, here in Great Falls the situa-
ton is different. There are not a half
dozen men in it worth $1,000 and upward
who have not contributed and do not
stand ready to contribute to enterprises
to promote the interests Of the city. OF
such men Great Falls is composed.

velopment, thus %insuring more than an
abundance for fuxing purposes. Indeed
the quantity and quality of the iron ore
justify the erection of iron and steel
works at this city. Such plants are
among the assured enterprises of the
future. Recurring to the gold and silver
mines of Neihart and Barker it may be
added that present workings prove the
mines to be among the most valuable in
the west. There is no question in re-
gard to this. Higher assays from sam
pies have been obtained than from ;any
other mining district in the state, and in
sufficient numbers to warrant the belief
that those camps will eventually rank
first among the rich productive ore-bear-
ing localities in Montana.
The immense water power of Great
Falls is known far and near. At Black
Eagle Falls, one of the many falls in the
vicinity of the city, a dam has been con-
structed at cost of a quarter of a million
dollars which can furnish a horse powerfor
every dollar expended in its building. A
small portion of the power will be util-
lied by the great smelling plant of the
Boston e. Montana Co., now in course of
completion, and another fraction by an
electric light and motive power plant.
But immense as is the power which
these falls can furnish it is only the
strength of a ripple compared to what
could be produced if the great volume of
waters which precipitate themselves
over the high rocky barriers in the river
at this place were harnessed by man.
The mind cannot conceive, much less
the pen portray it. In a word the power
would be infinite.
Thus far we have simply touched up
on a few of the resources of Great Falls.
We have briefly noted its coal measures,
it's sandstone and limestone quarries, it's
mines of gold and silver and copper of
fabulous wealth, and it's infinite water
power, but it has still another resource
as inexhaustible as the light of the sun,
and as free as the air we breathe. While
by ages of labor its mines may become
barren of profit, its building material
turned to use. and the Great falls them
selves worn to the level of the river, its
stock and agricultural resources will
still come yearly to the front. They will
never decay or refuse to yield their fruits
to the hand of toll until the trump of
Gabriel shall sound the millennium.
Over 22.0O0,OOO acres of grazing and agri-
cultural lands lie tributary to Great
Falls. Over 100000 pounds of wool
were shipped from this great area last
season, while several hundred thousand
dollars worth of cattle, horses and NUT
ton were sent to eastern markets from it.
The number of stock and value of their
products will be increased each year
thus annually adding to the wealth of
the city as well as to the surrounding
country. With all these facts in view,
with the multiplied and rich sources of
wealth at the command of Great Falls,
can anyone doubt the promise of it's
future? Truly the Almighty has i'm
pressed the seal of His greatness upon
this favored, phenomenal city.

Why Indians do Not Farm.

1t seems that no amount of explaining will
ever suppress that inevitable question of "why
do the Indians not farm?' says Mr.. F. Reming-
ton in Harper's Weekly. But to treat the thing
seriously, will explain that part Of the Indian
territory is q fine farming country and is inhab-
tied by the remnants Of the eastern tribes, who
do farm to some extent. The Cheyenncs,
Comanches, Kiowas and Arapahoes live west Of
tie rain belt, and it is exceptional when corn
crop can be raised once in four years. That
seems to be reason enough to deter white men
from farming there. and it ought to at least
account for the Indians Lack of success. Those
parts of Kansas and Texas lying north and
south OF these reservations are not regarded
farming countries. On certain parts of
the Sioux reserve crops might be raised, but
on the greater area of it no results can be
attained without irrigation. The northern
Cheyennes could not farm for the same rea-
son, though the Crows more fortunately
situated. as the broad bottoms Of the Little
Big Horn can be irrigated at n trifling expense.
A curious fact might be mentioned in con-
less white people en- the high plains of the
and there will probably be less in ten years
more than there are now, unless the country, is
reclaimed b. irrigation. which could only" be
done by system of water storage made posi-
bic after a vast outlay of labor and capitsl
knowing these facts it is serious ignorance
when one hears this talk about farming on
the old buffalo range. ANY stockman will tell
you that Ii il II question, and mos: of them will
decide in the negative when you ask if the
high plains of the northwest are q cattle couu-
try, to say nothing of agriculture.

A HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
But all the Thieves Got Was q Ten-Cent
Piece.

Piece.
Saturday night two highwaymen operated on
9TH street southwest between Z street north
and b street south, bu. they only secured 10
cents as the result OF an act that renders them
liable to penitentiary sentence in case of
capture.
Mr.. Robert P. Luckett, plate printer, who
resides at No. 620 Virginia avenue southwest
left the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and It'll
street a few minutes before midnight and
started to walk home. The street cars were
still running, but there were not many persons
on the street after tine corner of u street north
was passed.
Passing along down It'll street between the
Armory grounds and the Smithsonian Park Mr.
Luckett met no one until he reached point
several hundred feet from the corner.
Then he was taken by surprise by receiving
a stunning blow on the head, which was dealt
with such force that he was knocked to the
ground. Two men, one of whom was coloreti,
stopped over him and when he made an outcry
one of them threatened To kill him if he re-
peated it. Luckett thought the men might
Kill him and he asked them if it was money
that they wanted.
One of them replied in the affirmative, and,
remembering where he had 10-cent piece,
he directed them TO that pocket. The negro
put his hand into the pocket and got the 10
cents.
lis that all you've got?" the robber then
asked, and Mr.. Luckctt assuring them that he
had no more money they released him. They
took some papers from mis- pocket, but they
only wanted money they did not take the papers
away.
Mr.. Luckett was then released and the men
disappeared. While he picking up his hat
and papers young man came along and
Luckett spoke to him, but the man did not
stop.
The two highwaymen were not seen before
they assaulted Mr.. Luckett and were no doubt
hiding behind the large trees in the park.
The police were mortified of the case yester-
day. but the culprits have not yet been appre-
hended.

THE LIBERALS PLATFORM.
MIR. Gladstone Writes . Letter for the 0uid-
ance of His Follower.

Mr.. Gladstone has written q letter to
Mr. Furness, the liberal candidate for Har-
tepool. Mr.. Gladstone says: "The Iriah
parliamentary party has vindicated itself by
putting an end to the leadership Of Mr.. Par
nell and has left us prepared to pursue, rs
heretofore. our duty in denouncing unequal
laws and the odious system of coercion adopted
by the government as n permanent law.
''The liberal gains of seats in the house Of
commons constantly repeated during the last
four years meant much more than mere sue
cess. They meant that the party has declared
that a union has for the first time been effected
between the British and the Irish and
shows the people aim to close the con-
troversy our opponents seek to in
definitely proaong at the cost Of the national
reputation and of imperial treasure and amid
inextinguishable discord. The people Of Ire
land have put their trust in the people Of Great
Britain to deliver them from bad laws made
worse by harsh. insulting administration.
1t rests on each constituency the occasion
offers for us to show our sister nation that her
confidence is not reposed in vain.
THE views Of the liberals on general legisla
ton were expressed at % recent meeting Of the
federation. They show that the party long for
the time when the Irish question will be settled
and when fuller opportunity will be afforded
TO other questions. still the time will come

cal intentions by bill clearing away obstacles
