The chances are that Choteau has kent

The Population of the CITY Increasing
steadily.

The Population of the CITY Increasing
steadily.
The growing faith in the future of
Great Falls is clearly shown by the num-
Der Of people from other sections of
Montana as well as from the east who
are settling in this city. TO mention all
the individual cases would require more
space than can be devoted to the subject
at this writing, but one case may be cited
of a well known Helena citizen who will
remove his family consisting of his wife
and eleven children to this city i'm a few
days. Another family Of ten is about to
remove here from the temporary capital.
The transfer of the division headquarters
Of the Montana Central railway from
Helena to this city brings twenty-one
families and about twenty unmarried
men here. At this rate poor old Helena
will soon be almost ~depopulated of all
but her millionaire bankers and specula-
tors of which she is constrained to boast
of so freely. But while those who have
all along had faith in the rrospcTi y of
this, the future metropolis of Montana,
feel sorry for their neighbors in Helena,
who are straining every nerve to keep
the town alive, they nevertheless feel
proud of the growth of this city and will
continue to extend a hearty welcome to
all who desire to locate in the town
whose future is so bright as not to admit
of a doubt in the minds of all thought
full men who are at all acquainted with
her immense and inexhaustible re
sources.

Protection by Smoke from Frost

Agricultural society. Masses of resin.

of Il similar kind have been tried with
more success, III the Gironde vineyards.
The proceedings in the Jardin d'Accli-

officers, who wished to see if the new
invention could be utilized for military
purposes, such as the masking of ex.

exposing shapely arms that are brown
and strong looking, but not sinewy, and
a big leather apron protects her apparel
from the danger Of flying SPARKS. The
only portion Of her attire which seems
out of place in a blacksmith shop is her
footwear, which she insists upon wear
ing of the daintiest pattern. No matter
how sloppy may be the ground in the
vicinity of her anvil, she sticks to her
pretty shoes. Miss Beveridge is not go
ing at her trade in a hit-or-miss fashion.
She is making a study of it, and she uu-
derstands welding and forging as well
in theory as in practice. When the
proposition to go to the Worlds fair to
give daily exhibitions Of her skill as
Il representative of California was
preached, she at first dcmurred, but
upon being reminded that her exam
pie might afford encouragement to
some other member of her sex she con-
sented.
Who is there in the United States who
has not heard one or more stories Of the
famous old whaling bark Progress,
which will be another of the queer, in
teresting and historic objects on exhibi-
ton at the Worlds fair? The Progress
has had a remarkable career, and her
trip to the great Columbian exposition
for the purpose Of illustrating the past
and present of an important industry,
which is fast dying ont, will fittingly
end the active work of this old time
whaler.
The Progress was launched at West
erly, r. l., in 1S43. She was then known
as the Charles Phelps. She was 101 feet
long, 81 feet beam, 10 feet depth of hold
and registered 359 tons. She was con-
sidered n monster whaling vessel in
those days, and while the worlmcn wer"
fitting her out for her first whaling voy-
age thousands Of persons from the sur
rounding country visited the vessel.
She made several trips to the south Pa
ciic ocean and did so well there that
She was sent north into the arctic wa
tiers. She was one of the four vessels
which in 1871 got safely ont of the ice
jam which crushed thirty-three fine
ships as if they were eggshells. The
lives OF 1900 men, three women and
five children We're saved on this occa
sion, principally by the clearheadedne .
and cool judgment of Captain Dowdou.
of the Progress, who sailed for HON.
lulu with 226 of the un%fortunates.
The others were carried to the same
place by the three remaining ships. The
masters received from the United States
government thirty-five dollars for each
passenger rescued, and in addition Cap
tain Dowden got Il gold medal and Il
handsome watch for his courageous CON
duct. The old Progress has earned
enough money in her time to make sew
eral very respectable fortunes. On one
trip alone she cleared $500 300 on whalc-
bone. She has been lying idle at a New
Bedford dock for ten years until re-
spared and fitted up some time ago for
her voyage to Chicago.

1t is reported from Grantsdale, in the
Bitter Root valley, that Alex. Allen shot
and killed Joe Pangborn near that place.
The coroner and an embalmer have been
sent for. The trouble is supposed to
have been over the ownership to a plat
of land a few miles from that town. Some
who are acquainted with the circum-
that Allen was molested and the shoot

amounts are as follows: Mutuals, $780,

handled $4,000, and there was $4,000
in pools refunded on cases in which bets

handled was therefore SJ1G,J4l. In the

about 10000 feet of flooring consigned by
the st. Paul a. Tacoma Lumber com

found. There was every Indication that
the man had not died instantly, but had

is thought the man got into his fatal
position at st. Paul.
