The Sands Land ds Cattle company have had excellent success with their sheep, of which they have four large ,ands along the Teton just below town. Go far t b s j have lost but nine bead this -winter. Day-befors yesterday a daily rn til ser vice was to have been begun oyer the Great Palls & Canada railway, leaving Great Falls at 11 p. m., but owing to the blockade on that line it didn't go as advertised. The chinook which has pre vailed for the past 48 hours has prob ably released the snowbound traius so that tragic may now be resumed. August Kropp, who has a very con- •iderabl number of stock cattle on the range In this section, was in town yes terday and in an interview on the cattle question stated that after riding the range during the past sto^m he was con fident that the losses among range stock in this section wofdd not lie over .6 or 8 per cent, at the veFry highest. His stock range near the foot of the mountains and so far have almost entirely escaped loss. He reports the same condition among his neighbor’s herds. Mr. Kropp had .heard of no serious losses among rtockmen in hie neighborhood. A party of six persons went to Steel! on Tuesday to take the train for Creat Falls. They wore advised by tehgiaph before starting that a t?-ain would pass south Tuesday evening, and on the strength of of it they went to SieMI, but found on arrival there that the train had become snow bound and could not possibly get through for some days. The stage driver offered to take the party through to the Falls for $20 but the party was afraid of a blizz ird and tele graphed to Great Falls for a special which came on their assurance of a §30 fare—$5 apeice for the nix passengers. Yesterday was Chinese New Year and it was celebrated by the tlhine.se in their own characteristic way. Holding open house to their friends and patrons and the making of presents seemed to be the main proceeding outside of firing off a lot of firecrackers and sundry in incan tations to scare away evil spirits. Thursday, February the 16th, 1893 of our calendar, was the 19th year of the reign of Kong Suen and it was this anni versary which wan being celebrated as the Chinese New Year, that being the event from which the com mo i calendar is made up. J. W Patrick, of Augusta, one of the oldest old timers of the west, is at the Choteau House this week taking orders for a flue list of book-i. He is met* um with such marked success that he has associated with himself F. W. Chisholm, who will assist the old gentleman iu the work of canvassing. Majors Patrick’s first experiences in this section date back to 1836, fifty-seven years ago, when he was at the mouth of the Marias river delivering goods to the fur com panics. A detailed account of the major’s early experiences iu the west would form one of the most interesting books of pioneer life and would be a valuable ad dition to the early history of Montana. THE BANQUET. CHOTEAU CELEBRAT S THE CREA- TION OF TETON. The Eventful Day Properly Observed, The citizens of Choteau and vicinity held a banquet in the Teton Exchange building last M »nday evening in honor j of the Teton county committee, whoso labors in securing the creatiou of the new county were so signally crowned with success at this session p f the legis lature. The seating capacity of the hall was tax--d to the utmost which had but for the ¡inclemency of the weather, been altogether too small for the accomoda tion of the cuests. Tim tables were well supplied with the choicest of ail the markets afford and with wines of the best vintage. The banquet was presided over by Dr 8. H. Drake who opened the ex»ricise by a request that ail rise and join in singing “ My Country.” Rev. R. H.

Suddenly, «bout 2 o ’clock, the wind shifted to thi- north and the thermome ter run down below zj ro so quickly, says Miulhatton, that the bottom of the bulb of bis two-foot thermometer was knocked out. A boy who was crossing the street at the time chasing a blue bottle fly hud his ears mppod be fore he could get inside and the damp atmosphere was frozen like sea foam and stood stiff, through the open pores of which the arctic wind whistled and howled mournfully while Judulbatton drove in the milch eows.
