Canning Factories.

Yellowstone Journal: The discussion
that is being had in the columns of
this paper in regard to the canning
industry is timely and of interest
Year after year this matter has been
suggested and talked over. but though
everybody would admit that il was
both desirable and practical, IL has
never come to a head. One reason.
and proboablv the main one, why ac-
tion was deferred. was because no one
was sure that there would be a sufii-
cient croD Dut in of corn, tomatoes
and other canning products. Our mar
ket gardeners have thus far fought shy
of raising a surplus, and without II
canning would of course be impossible.
as Gamers can not pay huckster's
prices for their supply. Now IL the
farmers hereabouts will say what. they
will do I'm the way of furnishing prod
ucts for canning we believe IL will not
be long before the canning plant will
be provided.

MISSION AT DALLES
Father Mesplis's Death Revives a Bit
Of Early History.

Notes OF the North

Apropos OF Father Mesplie's death.
an interesting bit of early history was
told by c. w. Denton, says the Dalles
Chronicle. In 1851 or '52. just which
year Mr.. Denton could not determine.
Father Mesplie came to The Dalles. In
1852 he began the erection OF mission
buildings. which were completed with
the aid of c. w. Denton and Edward
Crate. These two men did the greater
part of the labor. and the work was
done in rapid time, considering the
crude materials at hand. The matter
or steeple was easily settled. for
close to one corner stood a large tree.
high in the branches of which the
church bell was placed. Here its sound
was frequently heard through the
many years the mission buildings were
used. Father Mesplie was an indefat-
igable worker and soon his labors made
deep impress upon the savages
who came under his influence. The
site of this early mission is a familiar
one to residents of The Dalles. The
buildings were located about a mile
west from town. a short distance from
where the Catholic cemetery now is
The number of Indians baptized there
runs up into the thousands, The Dalles
being the headquarters of work for
many years. After the mission was
abandoned, the church building re-
NAMED standing many years till at last
time and weather wrought its destruc-
tion.
OF the three men whose names are
mentioned In connection with this rem
iniscence, two are dead, Edward Crate
having Joined the dead pioneers a
year or so ago. With the death of MIR.
Crate there passed away one of the
very first white men who made n per-
manent settlement in oregon. He was
a member of the Hudson Bay company,
and when the company retired from
business here. Mr.. Crate remained and
for many years lived on a farm at
Crates point, several miles below The
Dalles. Mr.. Denton is one of the old
est surviving pioneers of this region.

OF 10000 men in the field and with them
invade and capture all the states on

hand, 1t can be said that if war should
come, Montana would round up the

Lewistown to Bliisn~s.

Lewistown Democrat: The new road
TO Billings Is assured and work will
commence early In the spring. The
new road will be via Alger and High
field. and intersect the Billings road at
Halbert. making the distance from
Lewistown to Billings 35 miles shorter
than the route new travelled. Bob"

from Billings to Lavina. says a petit
tion can be circulated for a mail route

tablished. the contract let and in ope-
ration in one month. j. w. Weldon,
who lives on East Fork. hauled 5000
pounds so miles over the worst part of
this road with four horses a few weeks
ago with perfect ease, and when the
necessary work has been done on the
bad places IL will be the best freight
road in the country. The establish
ment of a mail route will also accom-
modate vast number of settlers who
arc now compelled to go a long dis
tance for their mail or wait until some
neighbor brings IL to him. The people
OF Willow creek get nearly a sack of
mail every week and by the establish
ment of this route they can get their
mail two or three times a week. The
postoffices in this section of Montana
are entirely too few and too far apart
The country is settling up rapidly and
some change in the mail service is
needed.

Raising Hogs In Montana.

Virginia City Madisonian: There is
not half enough attention given to the
raising of hogs in this state. There is,
on rough estimate. 10 times more
pork and bacon consumed in the state
than there is produced. and just why
our farmers do not raise more pork is
a mystery which we do not under
stand. Horses and sheep are eating the
grass off the hills without returning
one dollar of profit, and while cattle
are now yielding some cash to the
ranchmen, yet hogs turned into pork,
bacon and hams would give larger re-
turns than all the rest of the stock
combined. Hogs are subject to no dis
eases In this state; they can grow on
alfalfa and other grass and fattened
on wheat, peas and potatoes, all of
which are prolific producers on our
soil Pork made from wheat and peas
Is the best, sweetest and whitest meat
In the world and brings the highest
price in al eastern markets. There
is home demand for all the pork that
can be raised in the state and there is
no need to send II abroad, the price
here being as IL is in st. Paul or Chi
cago. We will refer to this matter
again in a future issue, giving details
which will convince the ranchmen that
this is profitable and remunerative
business
