LOOKING FOR AN ALDERMAN.

An adjournd meeting of the city coun-
Gil will be held next Monday evening.
September IS, but as yet nothing definite
can be heard as TO who will be the sue
cessor to Alderman T. A. Mcguire of the
Fifth ward, who has resigned. After in
quiry it was learned that the names of
three democrats ave been suggested. but
neither of the men spoken of will accept.
an aldermanic position being nothing
more or less than a thankless Job forced
upon the members of the council who
represent democracy in the Upper. City.
Alderman Joe Stadish, the remaining
alderman in the Fifth ward, has made a
canvass for some one to succeed Mcguire.
and hopes to find the object of his search
in the persons of either Thomas Devine
j. NJ. Harrington or John Coffey. Either
OF the three are representative men of the
democratic party. which is one of the
necessary qualifications to get into the
council through appointment during
Mayor Madden's reign, but neither of
them want it, and probably cannot be
compelled to take it. The natter of APP
pointing a republican is out of the cues
ton, and not a single populist can be
found in the ward.

Great Falls, Dec. morris Folsom.
ern railway, has returned to headuuar-
tiers in st. Paul from an extended trip
throughout Montana, and speaking in
the Dispatch of the possibilities of this
region and particularly of Northern
Montana, says:
Montana is about as large as the
original 10 states of the union, and con-
talns a great variety Of natural re-
sources than can be found in the orig
inal union, and for that matter in any
state east of the Mississippi. New and
comparatively unknown, except to
those who have kept pace with North
western growth, il may be a surprise
to the general public when l say that
Montana leads the union in average per
capita wealth, in the number of sheep
owned and in the number Of pounds of
wool and in pounds of copper annually
produced
There is room there for millions of
people in all sorts of gainful pccupa-
tons. Along the Milk river, which the
Great Northern follows for 1870 miles,
hundreds of farms can be taken up in
sight and hearing of daily trains. In
time farms there will be as valuable as
those in the Mississippi valley.
singular to say, the valley lands
east of the Rockies need irrigating,
while the benches or mountain slopes
will produce large crops of grain with
out irrigation. Canals or bitches for ir-
rigating are made in the Milk river val
ley at cost of about 81 an acre, most
ly labor. There are now or 10 bitches
in operation. l never saw finer crops
of clover timothy, grain and potatoes
than in the vicinity of Chinook"
