Progress of Construction of the New
| Creamery-Postofic for the HoIianders.
Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Big Timber. Mont, April 21.-The con-
struction of the building for the Sweet
Grass creamery is proceeding apace and
the structure win be completed in a few
days. The machinery is on the road and
! a competent creamery man from Wiscon-
sin has been engaged to put Ii in place
and manage the whole concern when Ii is
in running order, which will be about
May 10. The capacity of the creamery
will be about 500 pounds of butter per
day. and the arrangement of the build
Ing and machinery will be such that 1000
pounds per day can easily be turned out
provided the necessary cream is forth
coming. Judging by the interest that is
being taken in the matter by the farmers
the prospects for an abundance of cream
is very favorable, and as a single COM
mission firm of Butte has expressed it's
willingness to handle 1900 pounds per
week OF thesproduct, there is no question
about the market.
Petitions are in circulation here to-day

sired offices can be established with very
little expense, and as the prayer of the
petitioners is very reasonable 1t will no
doubt be granted.

REFORMS FOR CUBA.
IL Is Possible That the island win Bene-
fit by the Change,


Washington, April 2O.-The Spanish
government within a few weeks will put
into execution a comprehensive system
OF home rule or autonomy for Cuba.
There is good reason to believe that the
state department has received from Ma
drid information to this effect The law
which Will be put into effect was signed
by the queen regent March Is, 1895. and
will be followed up by the rules and reg
ulations developing the present scheme
OF reforms. By the time the queen regent
makes her address to the Spanish cortes
which assemblies in one month. the law
VIII be promulgated throughout Cuba
ana the long-expected home rule be real
lzed. The element of home rule is secured
by the establishment of two local bodies
drawn largely, If not entirely, from the
residents of Cuba. One of these is to be
known as the provincial chamber of dep
uties, the other as the council of admins
tration. The latter has appellate jurisdc-
ton over the former Large powers are
granted the council of administration I'm
the Internal management of public af-
Iairs, but the governor will continue as
the supreme representative of Spain and
have direct charge of military, naval and
international questions.

Speaking of weather, the report of

fall was inches; one inch more than

half inch above the normal amount
for that month. November was also
characterized by warmth and cloudi-
ness. There were eighteen cloudy days
and only eight clear days. The aver
age temperature was four degrees high
