A Good Remington Story.

Frederic icRemington whose accurate
pictures OF the West and Of western
life are known the world round, has
been spending several weeks in
Yellowstone Park sketching the
glorious scenery there. While in the
national pleasure ground he thought
he would paint in culors picture of
the Grand Canon OF the Yellowstone.
So he told his man to pack up his
paints and brushes and drive over to
Artists Point, where Thomas Moran
eighteen years ago, painted the
celebrated picture now hangingi In he
national capitol. After theeasel had
been adjusted, the canvas stretched.
and all the tools and colors made
ready. Remington sat down and for
a half hour or more silently gazed at
that awful abyss of splen-
dors. Then he shook his head and
slowly arose, reluctantly abandon
ing the task of reproducing those
miles upon miles of delicately varie
gated cOloring. The surprised helper
exclaimed "Why, aren't you going to
paint picture, Mr.. RemingtOn?"
"No, replied the big artist, "a mans
a d-D fool who would try to paint
that picture. 1t would look like an
exploded paint shop"
Those who have viewed the
resplendent beauty Of the Grand Can
yon OF the Yellowstone will not be
surprised at this story; rather Will
they think the more of the renowned
artist for his candid admission. Its
worthy Of note that more Americans
are each season coming to appreciate
the wonderful scenery and the natural
curiosities Of the vast playground set
aside by congress for their enjoyment.
Travel To Yellowstone Park this
season exceeds that Of any previous
year.

CROW INDIANS AGRfE.


Mr. G. c. Hoyte, Col. Jas. III. Me-
Neeley and Maj. Edwards have been
engaged for some time past in treat
ing with the Crow Indians, finally
gaining the consent Of n majority oi
the adult men of the tribe to the crs.
sion Of . large part OF theiI reserva-
ton and the treaty was signed lnst
week, tho it will not become effective
until ratified by congress and the
necessary appropriation made tu
carry out it's provisions.
The general terms Of the treaty are
that the government agrees to pay
81 $50, 900 for 100. 900 acres oi land.
About $500, 900 Of this sum goes into
irrigation on the reservation, to finish
the bitches now In course of cOnstruc-
tion and provide for their mainten-
ance. About $50. 900 will bc used for
fencing various parts OF the reserva
tion to protect the Indian cattle herd,
while $3.50, 900 goes for the purchase
Of more cattle and $50, 900 will be used
for the purchase of sheep. About
S25 900 Of the purchase price will GO
into new school buildings, while
500, 900 Will be used for sundry pur-
poses To- improve the condition of
the Indians. The balance OF the
money will be plnced in the treasury
Of the United States to the credit OF
the tribe, drawing 4 per cent interest.
and a $40 anual cash per capita pay
ment will be mnde the Indians, IN ad-
dition to the Sl2 annual per capita
that they nov receive. Thus 10 will
be seen that the treaty IL anexcellent
one for the Indians. They will he paid
for their lands and the wise vision
Is made that a pOrtion-of the proceeds
Of the sale will 20 to bettJr their con
dition. They will still have some
2,000, 900 acres OF land left on the res
ervatipn, or about 1000 acres for
every buck, squaw and child In the
tribe. Provision has been made In the
treaty for all Indians holding .allot-
ments or residing on the ceded strip,
whereby they can remain in posses
sion Of their land, or can sell the i'm
pIovements at their option and re-
move to the reservatio proper, which
il the course that will no doubt be
generally followed.
The land ceded by the treaty, M
stated above, comprises about l.l00,.
900 acres. The boundary line starts
at the northeast corner Of the military
reservation. which Is three miles
north of Fort Custer, and runs east
TO the eastern boundary OF the reser
vation, or the CustercOunty line; then
starting from the southwest corner
of the military reservation. or three
miles south Of Fort Custer, the line
runs west nearly To Pryor creek
thence north to Huntly, thenortherr
boundary being th" base line that
passes through Billings. This

CATILE IN GREAT DEMAND.
Prices Steasily Advance and Consumers
Must Pay More for Meat.

Chicago, Aug l7.-Invrstigation at
the stock yards ia regard to the r.
cent advances In the price Of beef
brought out the statement that never
before in the history Of the American
cattle market has there been such y
demand for all kinds Of meats as at
the present time. The demand for
export cattle IL enormous.
The statemenS IL made that the
prices of all cattle will be higher nexf
year than they are now, but in three
years, when all the thousands of
feeders find their way into the mar
ket, there il likely To he n slump VI
from two To three cents. This year
Kansas has 100000 head OF cattse.
which Is u record-breaker for thai
state. The big ranches in Montana.
Wyoming, North and South Dakota
are sending cattle at present.
Most benefited by the increase IN
prices IL the stock-raiser At present
everything costs more alive than fur
mcrly, making IL necessary for the
packers TO advance the prices ON all
dressed meats. The prices quoted
yesterday to local butchers was .
cents a pound for best straight beef
in the whole carcass and l4k cents .
pound for loins aud ribs, when to-
gether in even sets. OnelotU 60baS-
rels of the latter was sold at l5k
cents a pound. All other meats hare
been more or less affected. Prices
have gone up in pork, mutton, veal
and all dried and smoked meats.

FATE OF ANH-WAR PARTIES.
The Democracy Sure to Meet the Fate of
Its Predecessors.
Inter Ocean.l

Peace parties have opposed every
war which this country has waged.
They have sought to weaken the
United States government by their
open antagonism during the war and
to blacken it with tales of horror after
the declaration of peace. Yet they
have all tailed To stop orshorten any
conflict in this nations history, newt r
have won even the passing approval
OF the people at large, and have sue
ceeded only in accomplishing their
own destruction.
The revolutionary war was OPP
posed 10y the Tories. They were too
cowardly to brave the perils of the
field; they skulked In the rear and
wagged their tongues. When peace
came between the United States and
England they were still unpacified,
but those who did not change their
coats fled to Canada and all werelpst
to view i'm the poIicital life of the time.
The war of 1872 was opposed by a
noisy group I'm the Federal party.
This group harrassed the government.
In few states Ii demOraliZed the
militia. 1t formally voiced its pro-
test i'm n convention at Hartford.
But when peace came 1t had succeed
edonly in Obliterating the old Federal
party without leaving a single poll
tician even to bear the cupperhead
standard. Not one OF them ever re-
appeared on the surface Of American
politics.
The Mexican war was opposed by
many Whig politicians. Other Whig
politicians declined to regard the war
as q political issue and z I've the ad-
ministration hearty support. Most
of the anti.whigs retired from public
life and the party saved itself from
extinction in lS4S only by making a
war campaign with war hero for a
presidential candidate.
The war Of the rebellion was OPP
posed in 1861 by a large party OF the
democracy. In 1864 the peace demo-
Gratis secured control of the party ma
chinery and declared the war a failure.
The result was that the party was
obliged to do twenty years penance
and then was able TO win presiden-
tial election only by changing it's lead
ers, it's platform, and its principles
In fact, everything except its name.
Yet to-day the Bryans and the Cor
mans expect to win popular favor and
federal office for the democratic party
by taking their stand against the gov
erment on anti-war issues.

lAB0RERS IN DEMAND.
Helena Independent Reporter Tells of the
Condition Of the Wage-Earners.
Helena lndependent.l

Perhaps never before in the history of
the state was there so much work to
be done, with sOfew laborers to doit.
The employment agencies report a
greater demand for men than they
have known for years. From every
part OF the state come inquiries for
workingmen. Nc able bodied man
who wants to work needs to look
around long for a job.
"rhe demand Is principally from
farmers and from railroad COM
panies. said w. b. Cook yesterday.
sit IL not confined by any means to
those, for there il inquiry for men in
every industry represented in the state
but, az said. the principal shortage
il for farm laborers and section men.
During July ! sent 107 men to the
Montana Railway company alone,
and | have now orders for l73
for railroad and other work. The
wages are, speaking generally, better
than at any time since 1892, and the
demand IL better than I'm the last ten
years. Ii is one-third greater than
at this season last year.
Farm labOrers are In particular
demand. The hay crop Is being cut
Just now, and the farmers In many
sections of the state reshort handed.
The demand for men Of this class
comes principally from the Gaflatin
valley, the Prickly Pear valley, and
from the district about WhiteSulphur
Springs. There il no standard of
wages-the farmers are paying just
what they have to. Farm laborers
who work by the month receive from
$50 to $40, while those that work by
the day receiver $l.50 to $2. The
latter figure is being paid at White
Sulphur Springs and by some Of the
farmers of the Prickly Pear valley.
OF course, you understand that board
is included with the wages OF farm
laborers. Az soon as haying IL over,
there will not be so great demand
for men, for 1t will then be some time
before harvesting begins. The wages
paid will not be raised during the
grain harvesting operations In this
state, in my opinion. Farmers are In
some measure to blame for the scare
ity of farm laborers, for they dismiss
the men the moment they cannot
work them full time in the fields. II
it rains, the farmer tells his newly
hirded men that they are no longer
IN the pay roll, and the men are
forced into town. 1t Is this uncer-
tainty about the duration of employ
ment that makes many men avoid
the farms, preferring work on the rail-
roads. where the hours are shorter
and where the pay Is about the same"

NATURAL INK OF GEORGIA.

jug of 1t Sent to Lord Rosebery as .
Memento of Alex. H. stephens,
Crawfordville, Ca, Letter: One of
the intimate friends of Alexander H.
Stephens, the vice president of tho
confederacy. has just shipped to Eng
land a gallon of natural ink, a product
of Georgia soil, to the address OF Lord
Roseberry, the distinguished politician
who once held the reins of the British
government. The little incident cul
inmates a peculiar and interesting
story. Some twenty years ago, when
Stephens was In his prime, Lord Rose
berry visited the United States. The
two men met, and in few weeks were
on an intimate footing. Mr. Stephens
had a genial manner, splendid intel
lect, and brilliant conversational abil-
tiles. Lord Rosebery was much at
tached to him, and they spent much
time together. Toward the end Of the
Englishmans stay he accepted the in
vitation of Mr.. Stephens and came for
a Iew weeks to the patriarchal home
stead near this town. Crawfordville
was then in its swaddling clothes, and
fine specimen of the quiet American
country town. Lord Rosebery was
charmed with the hospitality OF the
people and the many quaint charac-
ters he found here, and declared he
had spent one of the pleasantest times
in the history of his life. Among 9TH
er interesting things which Stephens
showed him was some natural ink,
which flows from a peculiar spring at
the base of Kennesaw mountain, near
Marietta, Ca, and which he used for
all purposes of record and correspond
ence The liquid was a little heavier
than the manufactured article, but left
a permanent stain, which made 1t a
valuable agent where documents were
to be preserved. Lord Rosebery finally
returned home, and kept up a con-
stant correspondence with Mr.. Steph-
ems until the iatter's death. A few
days since the heirs Of the former vice
president received letter from the
ex-premier asking that some of the
ink be bottled and sent to him, as he
wished to exhibit it to his friends and
adopt it for his personal use, If prac-
ticable. His request was complied
with. and in few days the ink will
arrive in England and be shown
around as a natural freak from the
United States.
