In Honor of Rev. X. Mcclellan Ramsey
and His Bride.
Never did any community extend to a
stranger in its midst warmer welcome
than the people of Great Falls gave to
Mrs. Robert Mcclellan Ramsey, the
bride Of the popular pastor Of the Pres
byterian church, at the reception given
to Rev. and Mrs. Ramsey in the church
last night. The commodious edifice was
filed with people and in addition to the
citizens and ministers OF the city there
were present Rev. George McVey Fisher
OF Kalispell, Rev. Ellis, Sunday school
missionary for Montana, and Rev. Baird,
ID. d., synodical missionary, all joining
in the hearty welcome to the pastor and
bride.
The pulpit was hansomely decorated
with cut and potted plants and every
nook and corner of the room showed evil
dence of the tast and skill of the ladies
of the church.
J Many handsome presents were received
by Rev. and Mrs Ramsey from the
church as body, from individuals and
from business firms of the city.
Rev. Joseph Anderson welcomed Mrs.
Ramsey in felicitous terms and the vast
audience heartily seconded his remarks.

OF population. Ffty.four per cent of
the population of the state live nearer to
Anaconda than to Helena. On the prin-
ciple of the greatest good to the greatest

The speaker then compared the site OF
Anaconda to that of Helena spoke of its
natural adoption for a great city, its

MAJOR CAMPS SPEECH.
Major Camp was introduced to the
audience by Mayor Gelsthorpe as the
Bill Nye Of Montana, and he justified
the title by keeping the audience in a
roar Of laughter most of the time by his
humorous stories. He said that he had
been down at the big dam and admired
the great water power at the dam,
which was sufficient to run all the ma
chichinery in the northwest and the
Helena cracker factory thrown in. He
wanted t. say right there that he didn't
like Helena. 1t had abused the people
Of Butte too much, calling them city
of drunksrds, gamblers and prostitutes.
Now. however, she was making love to
the cities she had heretofore abused.
She was only flirting with them, how
ever, and could not marry without com
mittiDg bigamy as she was already mar
ried to her Cinnamon. Butte had
given her answer to Hell

who were organized and hourished
there. When the long shut down came
in Anaconda on account OF the low price
OF copper Marcus DAILY went around to
the merchants of Anaconda and told
them to supply his employees with the
necessaries of life until the smeters
opened again and he would see them
paid himself. This statement will be
backed up by any business man in Ana
conda. Now il Helena ever did any
thing for workingman here in Gods

VERY IMPORTANT DECISION
The ecretary Of the lnteriOr Makes
Il Ruling As to Reservoir
Sites.
All Locations Made Prior to Reser.
vOir Selections Are Still
Valid.

The secretary of the interior at Wash
ington has just rendered an important
decision relative to lands selected for
reservoir sites. and one which is Of great
interest to many settlers in Northern
Montana. The text OF tho decision has
been received at the land Office at Hell
ena and reverses a former ruling. 1t
was heretofore held that lands selected
for reservoir sites were not open to set
tlement and that filings made upon
them were invalid. The secretary now
holds that all filings and applications for
patents, made prior to the date of the
official selection of lands for reservoir
purposes and embrased within the reser-
voir tracts, are valid claims on the part
OF the settler and can only be acquired
for reservoir purposes by actual pur-
chase after condemnation and apprais-
ment.
The letter of the secretary is as fol-
lows:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. IS, 1894,
Commissioner Of the General Land
Office Sir: In the matter of the selec
ton of the following reservoir sites the
abstracts furnished by your office show
that large part of each is not subject
to reservation for the purpose intended
on account of previous dispositions, and
the attention of the director OF the geo.
logical survey has been called thereto
under date Of July 80, 1893, he reports,
however, that IN the near future all Of
these sites will be needed for the storage
of waters for public purposes, and that
while some of the lands covered by the
sites will have to be acquired by con-
demnation, or other means, before the
remaining lands can be used for reser
voir purposes, yet he thinks it would be
wise policy to reserve what is yet undis-
posed of, as their chief value ID for reser-
voir purposes, and the future necessities
m uet demand requirement in main.
taning a proper storage OF water, II
opened for entry under the general land
laws.
Under this view have to direct that
all lsnds covered by these sites which
are legally subject to reservation continue
to be Withdrawn from disposition to
await further action by congress in the
matter of these reservoir sites.
The sites referred to are as follows:
Nos. 5, 6, 7, 10, 10, 2s, 26, q, 2S, 20, 81, ~.

escorted Congressman Hartman to the
opera house, where, to about 500 people

and the candidates on the county ticket,
the central committee and the band

Mr.. Hartman paid deserved tribute
to his democratic opponent, Hon. Hal
S. Corbett, as a polished gentleman of
highest integrity and ability, who would
il elected, faithfully and well represent
the interests Of those to whom he would
owe bis election. The rest of his speech
was devoted to charges of democratic
irresponsibility and incompetency. He
discussed IN an able manner the tariff
question, the silver and Hawaiian policy
OF the administration, the "billion dol
lar" congress, and other topics to which
he has paid attention in his speeches
throughout the state.

The Dist of March and the 2lst Of
September are days known by the spec
ial appellatioE of the Equinoxes. This
is because the relative position OF the
earth and sun are such that the great
luminary on those days crosses the
celestial equator, which is a great circle
in the heavens (of course imaginary cor
responding to the equator upon the
earth. At the vernal equinox (March)
the sun passes from south to north, and
at the autumnal equinox in the opposite
direction. 1t is widely spread popular
notion that at these periods the most
severe storms occur. The fact is that
during period of fourteen years obser-
walton in England, but OF forty-fv
severe storms in March, not one occurred
on the 2lst, and out of eighteen storms
in September only one occurred on the
Dist. Popular opinion, however, on
many subjects is more reliable than in
this case, and especially do people know
whereof they affirm when they speak of
the railroads on which they prefer to
travel. The continued popular favor
long extended to The Burlington Route,
particularly during the past year, when
it took five million people to the Worlds
Fair, is not based on fancy, but on the
solid facts of extensive mileage, superb
equipment, safety of operation, and
courtesy to travellers. For tickets, maps,
time tables, ETC., call ON any ticket agent

THE MONTANA tLU B'
| desire not to follow the example of
the Helena orators and deal out abuse
for argument and ] will briefly give you
few reasons why, in my opinion, the
capital should not be located at Helena
but at Anaconda. First, the location of
Helena is not good one. 1t stands on
an old worked out mining claim. Its
main street is in ravine and it's streets
run up hills so steep than when they are
covered with ice and snow in the winter
it is positively unsafe to walk on them.
Nature never designed it for city or a
state capital.
Second. it has no adequate water sup
ply. Already I have heard projects

The train arrived from the east this
morning in time for the passengers to
take the boat. In consequence the
Regulator had large passenger list, as
yesterdays train was late.
The city marshal has had a dozen of
his best men at work on Second street
today, as we suggest elsewhere, and the
improvement is wonderful. The city
ought to set up the beer and get the
boys full again.
The Huntington Herald is of the

A heading crew in the Goodnoe mills,
Klickitat county, struck last Saturday
for an increase in wages. They had
been getting 81 day and demanded
$3.50. AS there was no chance to re-
place them, the farmers had to stand
the raise.
A meeting was held this morning for
the purpose OF taking steps to organize
company, and starting a q cannery, to

Quite a lot of piling has been sent

that three weeks at the utmost will see

This morning two wagons containing
eight people passed through town bound
for Hood River. The primary object is
to have few days rest and recreation

FRIDAY, July 27th.-The week past
has been one of marked activity in bust
ness circles, and everybody wears a
smile. Prices of merchandise continue
steady, with lively movement.
In the produce market there is a
healthy condition: Eggs are firm and
scarce; dealers are paying from IL to IA
cents per dozen, and complain that they
can't get what they want; poultry is
slow sale, owing to the fact that offer
ings are in excess of demand. Vegeta-
bles and green fruits are in abundance
and the market is weak.
There is more activity in the wool
market this week than there has been
anytime this season. Buyers are numer-
GUS and are purchasing direct from the
sheep owners every day. A better feel
ing prevails, and disposition to sell is
prevalent among them. During the
week we heard of 91S cents as being
paid for two lots of nice wool, although
an advance OF this figure was refused for
a choice lot of lambs wool the other
day. 1t is reported that one lot of fine
staple was sold on private terms, yesteI-
day, and knowing ones say 10 cents,
which we consider as doubtful figure.
The present condition of the Wilson
tariff bill in congress bordering on defeat
has stimulated buyers and the market
generally. Today ten cents per pound
was paid for several lots of extra good.
The wheat market is in a state of ex-
treme quietness. There is no improv-
ment in foreign advices. The opinion
prevails that the United States will sur
prise itself in the large wheat crop that
is being harvested.
Grain bags have advanced to 71a cents
each, aud reports are given out that
thereywill be supply short of demand,
and quotations may reach to 81 cents
a piece before the season is over.
