To the BLENDERS Of the City Coun,I:
Gentlemen-Acting az Superin
tendent of construction for the
city, I submit this my final report.
All of the work that have super.
vised, have endeavored to fulfill
the contract. The electric wires
and poles were up aud in position
when took charge and were coll
siderel up to contract, and we're
received as such by my predeces-
sor. To this | have had 10 make
extensions III the commercial line

give service l had to extend the
commercial circuit from the corner
Of Elliot and 7lh street to Scott,
out Scott to 9th street, out 9th to

BISHOP M'QUAlD ERRED,

ROME, Jan. 24--The trouble growing
out of the attack upon Archbishop Ire
land of st. Paul by Bishop McQuaid OF
Rochester has been made the subject OF
an inquiry by the Vatican, it having been
held by the supporters of the archbishop
that the sermon preached by Bishop Nc
Quaid in the Rochester cathedral was sub,
versive of church discipline. The con-
illusions of the court are that Bishop Nc.
Quad committed grave error alike In
his sermon and in the reasons he assigned
for the necessity Of its delivery. Arch
bishop Ireland is fully justified in all the
positions he has taken in the matter.

lost none of its patriotism through the
manfully fought battles IL has made
for good government. Its character Is
not shrouded in mystery. Its readers
feel thankful for the courage IL has
shown on every trial Of public moment
to them during the past year. Ere an
other issue reaches you, gentle reader
'96 will have taken his place of duty
on historic pages. The ''old man"
hopes to be able, as in the past. TO
feed you on the best oysters the mar
ket affords at the old price. IL is quite
true some few have quit paying for
them with a pretense that they were
not good and did not agree with them.
Yet scarcely a week passes but some
of these parties sneakingly steal a few
from their neighbor's plate and pro-
nounce them good. but never pay for
them. Gentle reader. the 'old man"
hopes you will pay for what you get.

RAISE HENS.
why Don't Our Farmers Realize Their
Opportunities?

Rocky Mountain Husbandman: There
is certainly no reason why Montana
farmers should not give especial at
tention to the raising of chickens and
the production of eggs. In nearly ev-
cry part of the state farmers tell us
that the great problem for the Mon
tana farmer is an inadequate market.
This being true of nearly every valley
in Montana we do not see why IL
would not be profitable TO convert at
least a portion of the product of the
farm into eggs, chickens, turkeys,
geese and ducks. These commodities
are ready sale at remunerative prices
in every village, hamlet and city in the
state and promise to remain perman-
emily so. There was a period of prob
ably Is months setting In soon after
the panic when the products OF the
poultry yard were very low. but for
the past six months they have been
advancing and the people of the state
who have to buy are paying as high
for Christmas turkeys. Christmas hens,
eggs, etc, as they did before the panic,
and the fact that the advance of the
price for the products of this branch
of farming set in. i'm the middle of the
past summer is evidence that anti
panic prices have returned to stay, and
invite the Montana farmer to greater
exertion in poultry growing. If grain
and chickens. and hogs or pork as in
the bushel. we can see no reason why
attention should not be given 10 these
products Let the farmer build a good
warm hen house. or better still two or
three warm hen houses and get good
fowls and give them attention as he
does his horned stock. and he will not
grumble about not being able to mar
ket his product at a remunerative
price. AS long as Montana must de-
pend upon Utah. the Dakotas and
Minnesota for at least one-half of her
poultry and egg supply there is no
reason why her farmers should not
make IL pay to produce these commod-
tiles in abundance. There is no dan
ger of overstocking the market There
are those who have been looking to see
the price of eggs and fowls come per-
manently down TO basis of prices for
these products in the Mississippi val
ley for 20 years and will be found look
ing for 20 years more for the dawn of
an era of any considerable length I'm
which poultry and eggs Will not be
the most remunerative product of the
| Montana farm.
