AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CAPITAL.

1t has doubtless occurred omany that
Great Falls offers more Inducements
for the erection Of a wool-scouring plant
and a wooden mill than any other point
in the west. If the Almighty had plan
ned a place and surroundings especially
for the erection of the works named He
could have made no improvement upon
those presented right here.
In the first place the vast plateaus ex-
tending in every direction from this city
are peculiarly adopted to wool growing.
Their altitude, climate and natural
grasses make this portion of the state
the home of the sheep. In the second
place Great Falls is the railroad center
of this vast sheep raising section. The
Great Northern and the Great Falls &
Canada roads tap all the large ranges in
northern Montana. And in the third
place 1t has the prime essential for wool
securing and WOODEN manufacturing
plants an abundance of the purest
water in the world. Added to these
natural and artificial advantages, is cheap
fuel.
There is not IA wool securing and wool
manufacturing establishment in the
United States which possesses all these
prime essentials. They are here and
inevitably will attract and bring invest
ing capital in their presence. The men

RECIPROCAL rICKLING.

The new political organization, known
as the knights of reciprocity, is wise be
yond its day and generation. 1t was
originally formed for the purpose of
booming Blaine for the presidency,
but since its idol became it's W icono-
clast and now lies broken in the dust,
the u-feathcrcd party is seeking the
alliance Of IT'S parent organization the
republican party. With this object in
view it subsidies the wires to warn re
publicans that the wicked democrats
have formed a compact with the alliance
under which the former is to have the
presidential electors and members OF
congress, and the latter the legislatures
and state officers Of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota. Wisconsin and South Dakota.
In the ia e of this threatening danger
the knights Of reciprocity may %reasona-
bly, look for overtures from the republi
can party for a fusion advantageous TO
the leaders of both organizations. There
are some old heads and long heads in the
iledgeling secret organization. Their
idea Of reciprocity practically applied is:
You tickle me and I'll tickle you"

TIM st. Louis Republic has this to
say concerning the non-allotment of
lands Ia half breed Indians: I'm the old
slave days the courts held that the chill
dren Of the negro women were negroes
and should be classed as slaves. The
land department of the government
naturally followed the same rule in de-
timing the status of half breed Indians,
and this was always considered good
law until the act was passed for the al
lotment of lands in. severalty to the In
dians. The boot seems to pinch the
other foot now, and under a recent
opinion Of the assistant encouragement
of the United States the half breed is
told that he is not an Indian, but that
he ranks as a poor white, and that the
land is not for him or the likes of him.

AGENT CROwLEY's MISSION.

Special Agent J. j. Crowley, who was
sent to Montana by the United States
treasury department to investigate the
charges concerning the smuggling OF
Cinnamon and c~ontraband goods across
the northern boundary line into this
state, is heard from. What he had to
say appeared in yesterday mornings
tribune, clipped from the Helena indie
pendant. About the first thing Mr.
Crowley did was to see Governor TOole,
and the next to get interviewed. In the
interview Mr.. Crowley said the depart
ment had only three men to keep an eye
on the long boundary line and that he
didn't know of any cases where China
men had becn struggled across the line
into Montana. He admitted. however,
that the extreme length Of the line
offered superior advantages for SNUG
Cling the heather into the state.
But it is not Of these very natural and
very unsatisfactory statements The
TRIBUNE cares to speak. OF course Mr..
Crowley can learn Of no cases OF snug
Cling with only three men here TO "kecp
an eye" upon 700 miles of territory.
Those three pairs of eyes may as well be
looking at celestial bodies above through
the bottom of a tumblcr as to be looking
in the direction of the north star for in
habitants of the celestial kingdom the
other side of the Pacific. 1t is of Mr..
Crowlcy's plea the JRlUuNE has a word
to say. He states that the department
is greatly hampcred in its work 10y lack
of appropriations. This statement is
made to relieve the treasury department
of any responsibility which may at
tach to il for the smuggling whicbSis
going IN.
Right here if is in order 10 inform Mr.,
Crowley that this smuggling is not an
infant industry which has sprung up on
our northsrn line. 1t has been going on
for a long time and was quite as well
known in all its length, depth, and thick
ness during the existence Of the billion
dollar congress as it is today. But it
appears. for some reason, its existence
was ignored and that Mr.. Carter. who
was then Montana's representative in
congress, did not see proper TO urge upon
that body the necessity of making al
appropriation TO meet the eXigency OF
the situation. Just why this matter Of
appropriation was not made last winter
the tribune is not prepared to say. The
explanation may properly be left to those
who may possibly have been profitably
studying the problem Of addition. di-
vision, and silver during the last two
or three years.
If the department be hampercd for
lack Of an appropriation to meet the eS-
pense of watching u northern boundary
let the blame rest where it should rest -
upon the administration. The present
congress may make an appropriation for
the purpose named. If it do, care should
he taken that a Gordon Of northern
boundary detectives shall not be tnrned
into "blocks of five" for the purpose Of
carrying the state in the interests OF the
present administration. Cinnamon and
opium and their attendant evils should
be barred from the state, If possible. and
so should an army of strikers for any
political organization.

The following from the Rocky Mount
ain News explains itself:
1t is not too early to begin preliminary
arrangements for a proper representative
train to the Chicago convention. As
Colorado is the leading silver state it
should have a delegation 1000 strong.
1t requires time to arrange such an eX-
c%ursion, and now is h time to begin
the work of organization.
Since when has Colorado been the
leading silver state? Not last year, nor
the year before, nor will it be the leading
silver state this year. The News should
know if it does not already know that
Montana leads the Centennial state in
the production of the white metal and
that the value of its gold, silver and cop,
per output far exceed that Of any other
state in the union. Colorado. however,
proposes to act upon the assumption
that she is the leading silver producing
state and will appear at Chicago III a
