A Long Felt Want.

Great Falls, Sept. AT last IT seems
that the board of county commissioners
are about to take the preliminary steps
in an effort to build a new bridge across
Belt creek for the benefit of the High
wood settlers, as Commissioner McNair
intends viewing the proposed site.
which 1t is understood will be near the
Hackshaw ranch. The building of this
bridge will fill long felt want when
completed, and will prove great ben
eft both to settlers in the Highwood
country and to the people of Great
Falls. The only trouble is that by the
time the prelminaries are completed
and the board ready to build the bridge
the season will be so far advanced that
nothing will be able to be done until
next summer, and Great Falls will, as
usual, lose the trade of that county
during the high water in the spring.

self, the Teton Chronicle states that the
shortage amounts to $1,000. For sever

postmark which passed through Cho-
teau and Dupuyer, and compared the
result with the sworn returns sent in
by Postmaster Fry, and found that the
Bynum cancellations were padded 500
or 600 per cent.

was too weak to have walked to Belt in

off somewhere and persisted from ex-
posture, especially as, If he had kept to
the road, he would have been apt to
have called somewhere for food or lodg-
ing. The search is still being kept up,
and it is possible that the unfortunate
man may yet be found.

BUYING GOODS HERE.
Are Building Up Home Industries by Aid
of Chicnen Machinerx-


of Chicago Machinery.
Chicago is building up by no means
insignificant trade with Japan. The
Yankees of the Orient" are quick to
discern whatever is Of utility to them
in the mechanic arts, and as a con-
sequence they are supplying them
selves with machinery for the devel
opment of their industries direct from
the factories on the shores of Lake
Michigan
In the history Of the entire world no
other nation has experienced such a
remarkable growth in it's commerce
with Japan as has the United States.
JAPANESE official figures give the inn
portations from the United States in
1898 at 6,090,40S yen and in 1898 at 49,
001, 097 yen. Meantime her importations
from England increased from $685.
62S yen to 62.707,572 yen; those from
Germany from I, 31s,134 yen to 25,610,961
yen; those from France from 3,305,277
yen to 6,9799s2 yen, and those from
China from 17095,975 yen to 30,523, $50
yen, while the only part of the world
which has experienced an increase at
all to be compared with that of the
United States is the British East In
dies, whose increase has been from
S,679,O29 yen in 1898 to 40,764,244 yen in
1898.
Japan's importations have grown
enormously in the last five years. In
1898 they amounted to SS,257,172 yen
and in 1898 to 277 500, 166 yen. Mean
time her exports have grown from So
712.S64 yen in 1898 to 165, 1875 yen in
1898. Thus the exports have doubled
and the imports have trebled in the
period under consideration. The dis
position of Japan is to look to the
United States for a constantly increas-
ing proportion of its supplies. In 1898
the United States furnished less than
I per cent of the imports into Japan
and in 1898 l4.4 per cent. while Eng
land. the principal competitor in the
markets of the east, which in 1898 fur
nished so per cent of Japan's impor-
tations. in 1898 furnished 22.6 per cent.

porters of the United States developed

The Late Bishop o'Hara.

The death of Bishop O'Hara, the
venerable patriarch of the diocese of
Scranton, removed from the Catholic
church in this country one of its Oldest
prclatrs and one bf the most esteemed
members cf its hierarchy DIR. o'Hara
reached a rite old age His life work
had been of untiriug assiduitS i'm the
cause of the rcligIou which he pro-
fesscd. He was m1n of great piety
ana unassuminp dignity. When he
came here to take charge Of the epis-
c0ual soc Of Scranton thirty-onc years
ago. the place was almost, spiritually
and naturall!, wilderness. Bishop
O'Hara had only twenty five priests
under his charge to 60 operate with
him in his work. There was scarcely
Catholic school in the diocese; the
churches were few and scattered, con-
vents had not yet arisen, and those
homes Of refuge for the orphan and the
outcast which ere such a conspicuous
mark of the benevolent and practical
philanthropy of the Catholic church
had not been thought Cf
To fill this void i'm the diocese was the
work of the new bishop His flock was
poor and scattered. For the most part
ii consisted OF Irish cmiErants or their
descendants who brought with them the
precious inheritance Of their faith, and
who clunG to this with the tenacity OF
their Celtic natures. 1t was under such
circumstances as this that DR.. O'Hara
began his work. 1t contained much to
dishearten, but more to encourage and
stimulate. To organize a diocese out
Of the raw materials of a recently
opened country was no small concern
1t was the work which bishop OHara
had to undertake. Then with the in
fuX of foreigners came a Ecw and no
less OnerOus care. There came to these
parts a congeries of Poles, Hungar-
ians, Lithuanians, Germans and Itali-
ans, the larger number of them Roman
Catholics. These had to be harmon
lied and provided for, materially as
we'll as spiritually. The most tangible
evidence of Bishop O'Hara's success is
supplied by the churches, schools, con-
vents and similar institutions tor the
efficient and practical work of the dio-
cese which have arisen during the
period of his epscopatc.
Bisnop OHara's life is an example of
what can be accomplished in a quiet
way by patience. piety and persever-
ance He leaves behind him not,
perhaps, the name of a great man
as the worldly estimate goes, but that
of good man, faithful pastor and q
bishop untring in his efforts in behalf
of the charge committed to his episco-
pal care.
