The note will also request satisfac.

tion OF what has been done bears out
the statement cabled yesterday to
the Associated Press regarding the
intention OF the French government
Admiral CaiIlard is expected to
reach his destination tomorrow. The
foreign Office has received no news
from him since his division left the
other divisions OF the Mediterranean
squadron en- route for Turkish waters
four days ago.
1t is pointed out that the absence
OF news is not surprising, as instruc.
tions to Admiral Caillard were to
steer due south and avoid passing
in sight of Boniiacio, Corsicana OF
traversing the strait OF Messina In
order to prevent his movements be.
Ing signalled. Vessels of the division
carried only normal supplies Of coal
but this would be much more than
sufficient to enable them to steam

they must cover before reaching their
destination.

will be Joined en- route Dy the torpedo

further reported that several other

Dispatches from Rome assert that

announced yesterday, left for Turkish
waters with the supposed object o
counter-balancing the French nava

MANY FARMERS COMING.
sippi Valley Over the Great North
ern In the New Few Months.

H.,A. Cherricr, general agent of the
passenger department of the Great
Northern, with headquarters at Chi
cage, and his wife were in the city
yesterday, returning to their home af-
ter visit to Spokane Seattle and
other cities to the west, says the
Great Falls Tribune. They were ac
companied on their trip by w. w.
Romine, district passenger agent,
with headquarters at Des MOines,
Iowa. The gentlemen are preparing
to induce many farmers from Iowa,
Illinois and other states to take adj
vantage of the homeseekers excur
sions over the Great Northern. These
excursions will be resumed the 18th
of next month and will be run twice
a week until the middle of June. 1t
is believed that the immigration from
the states of the Mississippi valley
will be very heavy and Messrs. Cher
rier and Romine came west in order
that they might get view of the
states in which the farmers will be
asked to locate. They have been sing
ing the praises of the west at second
hand and now can speak from per-
sonal observation. They have been
on the trip for three weeks and are
enthusiastic concerning the north
west and it's vast resources and won
derful possibilities.
They expect scores of well-to-do
farmers with their families, to seek
homes in this part of the continent
early this year. Many came west last
year and have been SO well pleased
that many of their former neighbors
will follow them this year. In one
neighborhood in Mr.. Rom1ne's district
there are seven families who have al.
ready contracted to come west over
the Great Northern.

Syndicate Of Mississippi Valley Lun.
bermen After Flathead Pine.
A well known Montana lumber man
is authority for the statement that
a syndicate of Minnesota and Mis-
issippi valley lumbermen are securing
options on all the standing pine avail
able in Flathead county.
"The large timber areas of Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Minnesota are
fast being denuded of their pine, and
as result the men who have made
fortunes in those localities, are trans
fering their interests to the west"
said the Herald's authority today.
THE pine in this state has not in
the past attracted the lumbermen of
the east for the reason that much of
it has been inaccessible, and the tim
Der on the Pacific coast affords bet
ter condition for marketing, and man.
ufacturing than the timber of this
state. For that reason several large
syndicates have in the past passed
over this state and purchased a large
area of land on the coast. The Wey-
erhauser syndicate put up in the
neighborhood of $6,OOO,O0O for 1,0O0,-
900 acres of cedar land.
president Hill, of the Great North
ern. is practically the first large own
err to come to this state. The cree
ton of the saw mill at the head of
Flathead lake and the construction Of
a railway from Kalispell to the mill
has given employment to a large num-
Der of men, and given new impetus
to the lumber industry of that local
ity, in fact the whole state.

John O'Brien Lumber company and
purchased large area of the best
timber land in the country, syndi-

A RICH COPPER BELT.
w. A. Clark Will Open Up Swift Cur.
rent Mines, Says H. J. Clarke.

Horace j. Clarke, of Alton, Mont,
is visiting relatives in this city, and
interesting local capitalists in the de-
velopment of the new copper mines
in the Swift Current region, says the
Minneapolis Journal. Mr.. Clarke
is nephew of Mrs. c. o. Van
Cleve of this city, but has spent most
OF his life in the Indian country, and
is member of the Blackfoot tribe.
The mines are in the "BlackfOOt
strip which was thrown open to set
tlement April Is, 1898. Speaking of
the new mining region this morning.
Mr.. Clarke said:
The discovery of the immense cop
per leads in the Swift Current coun-
try was not by luck or accident, but
was the result of cool calculation. The
region was part of the Blackfoot res
eryation, and the discoveries were
made by Stark, Brown and Clarke In
the fall of 1892. Realizing the wealth
of this strip negotiations were begun
with the tribe and a treaty concluded.
1t was signed Sept. 26, 1896, by Will
liam Pollock, George Grinnell and
William Clements, commissioners TO
the United States, and A-vis-tai-,o-
kah chief of the Piegans, and Others,
on behalf of the Indians. The gov
eminent paid $150,00O for titp to a
strip ia by 60 miles in exte,t.
The coded strip is principally
mountainous, and the peals reach an
altitude of 5000 to 1900 feet above
sea level, the elevation OF the level
land and the lakes beng about 5000
feet. Many mines have already been
located.
Nature has been lavish in her at
tentions to this section of country.
The scenery is picturesque and grand.
in the mountain recesses there are
lakes from ont of whose depths great
iceburgs rear their heads lakes
whose bounds are set by a perpen-
dicular granite wall hundreds of feet
high. The whole country is rich in
game Here are the haunts of the
grizzly big horn elk, deer and moose,
and the best trout fishing is every
where. In the midst of all this gran
deur nature has buried her choicest
treasures, and here in these massive
mountains is the little mining camp
of Allyn. w. A. Clark is going to
open some of the copper mines. Then
we expect the Great Falls and Can
ada railroad to be an established fact
before long, and it will open up vast
extent of this country for profitable
operations.

They do say that those who saw
Governor Toole absolutely decline
the nomination for governor and then
accept it, do not place much stock in
his announcement that he will not
accept the nomination for the short
term senatOrship. In fact it seems
to be generally understood that the
governor is decidedly in the short
term race, and that at the proper time
he may be prevailed upon to accept
the senatorial nomination. 1t is
quite possible that the matter of ac-
cepting public Office the governor be-
lieves in the use of language to con-
ceal his thoughts.

provision of the constitution that APP

his basis 1850 population shown by
the last census or major fraction. His
former bill was based upon the vot-
ing population.

1t is mighty poor year that does

A dispatch from st. Paul that is of
interest to number of men in this
city is as follows:
1t is learned from an apparently
reliable source that J. J. Hill conten-
plates reduction in salaries of en-
ployes. Before Mr.. Hill went to New
York last week he sent notice to the
heads of every department that he de-
sired detailed statement of the ex-
penses incurred in conducting. He
also requested their opinions as to
what reductions in salaries could be
made.
This information it is understood,
has been furnished, and Mr.. Hill will
look into it Immediately, after his
return from New York. An official
stated this morning that Mr.. Hills
economic measure would not stop at
the general offices, but would extend
all along the line.
