MONTANA.

Salt Lake Tribune is an admirable
number, and in it Montana is not
forgotten. Of this great state it
says:
"Nothiug has %transpired during
the past year to disprove the be-
lief which the Tribune has always
held, that, in a few years more, OF
all the states of this interior, Mon
tana is to be the richest and the
strongest. Her mineral wealth is
something marvellous. She has
more agricultural land than can be
brought under cultivation, and
more water to supply that land
than any other intermountain
state. Her mineral and a%gricultu-
raj progress will go baud in hand,
and with silver once more restored,
her mineral wealth will yield proba-
bly, as much every year as that OF
any other three intermountain
states. Then there is something
massive and majestic about her. In
every field she is prepared to com
pete with the rest of the world.
Pushed out into the ocean, she
would be an empire complete in
herself, Of course there has been
depression there during the year.

FISH PONDS FOR THE PARK.
To BE Stocked by the Fish Commis-
siCn at Small Expense.

To BE Stocked by the Fish COmmis-
siCn at Small Expense.
The Zooogical Park is to be further
adorned by the addition of two fish ponds.
Together they will cover rearly half an
acre of ground. One of them will contain
carniverous fishes, while only vegetarian
species will be permitted to occupy the
other. This is measure absolutely neces-
sary for the safety of the latter.
Congress is not very generous to the
park, and there is not much money to
spend on the ponds. Fortunately. no great
sum is required; it is reckoned that $50
will suffice for both. An effort will be
made to give an appearance as much like
natural ponds as may be practicable.
Around the borders will be clumps of
shrubs and bushes, while lotus and various
species of water lilies, not emitting the gil
gantic Wet )ria Regia, will lend beauty to
the artificial lakes.
Details of the plan have not been per-
fected as yet, but the intention is to use a
small stream-Some convenient tributary
OF Rock creek-to furnish the needed wa
ter. Many cart loads of pebbles viii be
used to make a good and hard bottom for
the ponds. Application will be made to the
United States fish commission for the fish
required. Some OF the latter will doubt
less be brought from down the Potomac.
The species to be selected have not been
determined as yet. Advice on that subject
will be solicited from Dr. Bean and other
experts of the fish commission.
Among the carnivorous fishes will be
black bass and gar pike, while perch and
carp will be included among the vegetable
feeders. 1t is desired to have as many odd
and unusual kinds of fishes as may be pro-
durable, in order to please the curiosity
loving public.
Recently a very interesting animal, called
the "tayra," from the mountains of Gull
ana has been added to the park collection.
1t belongs to the weasel family, has long
hair and Is very intelligent and pretty. In
its native wilds it devours many parrots,
which 1t catches by climbing trees after
them.
Befo re long DIR. Baker expects to receive
from the Yellowstone Park some rare
birds; also from Colorado are expected
few timber wolves. Before long several
arctic foxes, too will be added to the col
lection.
