Water Power and Fuel Supply.


Dupuyer has a splendid water-power which an be utilized with
very little cost to run Touring mills, electric plants, saw mills,
and other machinery. Dupuyer has g. roLroad connection with
Great Falls on the south by the Great Falls & Canada r. r.
from which it is distant twenty-eight miles. 1t is situated thir-
ty miles from Blackfoot on the Great Northern Ra lroad and has
a daily mail service to the east and west.
Next to the great natural resources of Dupuyer is the unlimited
coal supply contiguous to it. The coal field adjacent to Dupu-
yer and within twelve. miles, cover an immense area, and re of
the finest quality; exceling that of Lethbrdge and Sand Cou-
lee. They are very accessible for transportation and easily
mined. Wood in abundance is to be found in the foothills Of the
Rocky Mountains ten miles distant and is important for building
purposes.
Wool.
We point with pride to the fact, that there is n o vicinity in Mon
tana, of the area of the Dupuyer valley, that ships the same
quantity of wool. There being in the neighborhood of one mil
lion pounds shipped out of this immediate vicinity in 1892, be-
sides thousands of fat mutton for the eastern markets.
The ranges in the vicinity of Dupuyer are especially adapted to
sheep raising or stock raising, lying close enough to the foot
hills to insure splendid feed the entire season.
Business Inducements.
J. W. MCKNIGHT, President of the Dupuyer TOWNSHIP, offers
to lease for a term of ninety nine years, two blocks in the town
site of Dupuyer to any that will build and operate aseventyfive
barrel Touring mill. The site above mentioned has a available
water power sufficient to run a mill of that capacity and could be
utilized with very little expense.

Deadwood dispatch, 8: The famous
Newly pension fraud case has a parallel
in many particulars in a case which will
occupy the attention OF the United
States court now In session here. Andy
Nelson was in the service OF the United
States during the Mexican war and died
in May, ds48. He had d brother, named
John A., who is well known in the Black
Hills country as california Jack" John
Nelson is now under arrest, charged
with lmpersonating his dead brother and
securing a pension illegally by reason OF
this deceit. Some OF the shrewdest de-
tectIves in the service OF the government
have been working on the case for some
time, and now consider that they have a
sure case against the illegal imposter.
1t is alleged that california jack"
after a run OF hard luck, being in dis.
tressed circumstances, assumed the
name and military honors of his dead
brother, and applied for the pension
which was granted. Witnesses have
been brought from Cherokee county,
Texas, to testify against Nelson. One
states that he remembered preparing
the body Of Andy Nelson for burial,
some 40 years ago and recalls the circum-
stances 81 his last sickness. It is said
that the wife OF John Nelson gave the
facts away a few years ago, while she
and her husband were ON a visit to old
frien o in Texas. by asking why every
body called her husband John, when his
name was Andy. A detective heard the
question, and to him it was a clew which
has since been followed.

II. A. Foster Of Winona, Mimi, and
Chicago operator in eggs, Is the happiest
mortal under the sun just now. The
cold weather gave him a corner on the
hens and now he has a corner on eggs
which he bought cheap last spring and
now expects to get from 30 to 40 cents a
dozen in Chicago, Boston and New
York. Two years ago Foster engineered
a corner on eggs and nearly went bust
ed" The lowering OF the tariff knocked
him ont. This year the Canadians have
got rid of their eggs earlier in the year
and now the cold weather has placed an
embargo on the supply from the hens.
Speaking Of his experience, Foster gives
the following very interesting items OF
tariff news in connection with the egg
business:
THE year before the Mckinley bill be.
came Law tbs Canadians sent 100000
dozen OF eggs to the United States mar.
ket. The tax of 8 cents "a dozen impos-
ed by the Mckinley tariff acted as a pro-
hibition and the Canadians we're forced
to keep their eggs at home. When the
democrats began To tinker with the tar
i'll they proposed to put eggs on the free
list. This met with a bitter opposition.
As q compromise measure IA tax OF 2
cents has been substituted. Only for
this tax United States dealers could not
compete with the Canadians in the
Eastern market. The freight on eggs
per car load from Canada TO New York is
only 800. From Chicago to New York ii
is SI3O. and from Minnesota to New
York about $3.50. 1t can be seen q,
what IN immense disadvantage the ma,
tive dealers are placed by the freights
Ouly for the protective tariff We would
be driven out of trade. The Scent Ia,
per dozen amounts TO about $500 on
every car load from Canada. 1t will b.
seen that we have nothing to fear iron
that quarter. Only in emergencies lik,
the present are the Canadians heart
from, and then with stale eggs tina
would not be tolerated TON the marks
under ordinary circumstances"
