Free Delivery Cannot He Established
Unti..After July 1.
A representative of THE TRIBENE
called upon Postmaster Wegnsr yeeter-
day to ascertain a few facts in regard to
the receipts OF the Office and the pros
poets for the establishment CT free oe-
Livery for Great Falls.
Mr.. Wegner said that tbs receipts for
the six months ena.ed Dec. 81. 1893, were
81, ISL and that the office Melted
Uncle Sam about $4,000 per annum.
Great Falls is the distributing Office
for a radius of about $50 miles north
west, and east and also the Canada mail
for L~ethbridge and Alberta.
In reference to the establishment of
tbs free delivery service In this city Mr..
Wegner referred the reporter to the re-
port of Postmaster General Bissell
which he thought would give a satisfac-
tory answer to all questions on that
point. The report says that on July /.
1894, there we're tifty-six offices entitled
to free delivery, and at the time Of his
report, Nov. -, 1893, there were ninety
three. Of this number thirty-two have
made application and complied with all
the requirements of the regulations,
Great Falls is included in the list of ap-
plicants. But the lack Of appropriation
from which to make the expenditures
that the extension of this service would
entail renders the department powerless
to grant free delivery to cover n of
these ninety-three offices, He says he
regrets that the establishment of the
service in these ninety three offices must
be deferred until after July |, 1894.

BACK FROM THE EAST.
Hon. Paris Gibson Talks to a 'Trib-
une' Representative About
His Trip.
Great Falls Stands at the Head Of
the List as u Prosper
Ous City.

Hon. Paris Gibson returned to ths
city Friday evening after an absence of
over two weeks in the east. The founder
Of Great Falls appeared in excellent
health and upon being waited on by a
representative of The TRIBUNE kindly
gave the following information:
Upon being asked, slow is business
in the east compared with the present
status in Great Falls?" the senator re.
piled:
"In my opinion there is no city in the
country, east or west, where business is
in a healthier condition than in Great
Falls. I do not believe there is another
city of twice the population that has as
big a pay roll or as large a freight ton
mage as our city
"What do you think OF the future?''
Mr.. Gibson answered: II consider, it
very promising. Fortunately for US the
development of the water power at the
upper falls is 80 far completed that al
most any amount of power is ready for
use and the same can be, transmitted to
all parts of the city by electricity, or
otherwise. This, there is no doubt, will
lead to the establishment here of many
industrial plants, large and small, in the
near future.
"During the recent panic our city suf-
fered very much from, croakers in u
midst and from n reports sent
out by our own people. Now. however,
the tide is rapidly turning in ou-, favor,
and during my absence hundreds of peo-
pie congratulated me upon the healthy
condition OF our city and it's great indus
trial activity. Our city. being young,
too much attention cannot be pad to the
advertisement throughout the cast of ite
great natural resources. In mr. opinion
there will be a large immigration to
Montana during the present year. and
Great Falls is likely to receive more of it
than any other western city. People
east were surprised to learn of the re-
newed activity of the mining business in
Neihart. The steady Improvement
of business in that remarkable mining
camp will contribute much the present
year to the activity of cur smclters.
You can depend upon it that our great
water power, our coal fields, and
the copper and silver ores tributary will
soon make this place the largest center
Of industries liz the northwest"
"Do you think the Burlington VIA be
extended to Great Falls?'
81 certainly do" replied Mr.. Gibson,
sand my reason for so thinking is~-that
the road is already extended to a place
called Sheridan, in Wyoming, zeal the
Montana boundary. Now as it really
terminates on the prairie, where there is
practically no business at all, it must
necessarily be pushed forward to some
section of country that will contribute
business to- it. AS thu country tributary
to Great Falls yields more freight ton
mage than any other section OF Montana,
the Burlington road, as a business prop
osition must be extended to this place
Seeing that Mr.. Gibson was of nsces-
sity very busy, tho reporter thanking
him for his courtesy, withdrew.

the grievance Of thu union against the

STANLEY WENT TO JAIL.
The Quasi-Outiaw Could Not he Obtained

Stanley Williams. the young white man
who bears the reputation around these
parts OF being something OF a desperate.
was before Justice Crutchfeld in the
Police Court yesterday morning on three
charges lie was charged with assault
Ing and attempt to cut Dllly May with
a knife; with being an escaped prisoner
from the Second Police Station. and with
being "A suspicious character.
The principal offence for which he was
arrested Wednesday night by Sergeant
Hall and Officer Werner was committed
In February last. When he was taken to
the station at that time he made his
escape by jumping from the window
while the sergeant at the desk was en-
tering the charge against him.
Stanleys reputation has been unsavory
for some time. and he is said 10 be
wanted by the Henrico county authorities
on several accusations lie has always
had an aversion 10 being arrested and
has manifested a very hostile disposi-
ton toward the officers who attempted
10 approhend him. His arrest on Wednes-
day night was an exception to this rule
as he then went peacefully along To the
statiOn-hOuse.
The two more serious cases against VIII
liams were dismissed. but the prisoner
was jailed I'm default OF surety for his
good behavior for six months.
COnstables Ness and Branch. OF Henrico,
were on hand. and the former served
warrants on the prisoner while he was
I'm the pen waiting TO toe removed 10 the
Jail. The constables asked the Justice 10
deliver the outlaw t. them. but his Honor
refused. as the most serious charge they
could produce against him was unlawful
trespass.
James Woodbridge was fined s. and costs
for being drunk and diSOrdery In Jack

Joe Granger alias Harris. a small coll
orcd boy, went into u. WeInstein's pawn

There was no claimant for the gar
