THE COLUNIII.IN ackrowledges re- ceipt of a number of congratulatory letters, and we desire to return thanks to the writers through these (salami's until some future occasion. From tul I sides come predietions that Titc a.a..4 MAN is a winner. w administration of Helena has , 0;ut1enced a system of re - t renchinent, the first step of which is to feed city prisona.rs at thirteen cents a meal. In this case thirteen is indeed an unlucky number for the prisoners. The St. Paul telegram to the Fargo Awns, regarding the Great Northern town in the Kootenai, to be culled Griggsville, has been copied far and near. Information of Griggsville be- came public before some parties were ready, and, to use a common express- ion, \stirred up the animals. • The recent test of limestone found within a few miles of Columbia Falls' completes the list of building mater- ials at our very doors. Lumber, building stone, the finest brick clay and the best of lime combine to give encouragement to the builder. The best feature is that all those materials can be manufactured right here at home. The initial number of the Flathead Valky News, published at Ashley, is at hand. It is put dished by the Flat- head Publishing Co., and edited by O'Connor Brothers. It is devoted to the interests of butt' Kalispell and Ashley. It is a creditable paper, and shows evidence of substantial sup- port. The realty market shows increasing activity day by duty, in Columbia Falls. The feature of it a pleasing feature, too -is the fact that substan- tial men are buying property for homes as well as business lots. It is evident that the prediction made by the founders of Columbia Falls, that this would be a city of 1,000 people by July, will be verified. Still the growth is steady, and the absence of \boomerang\ excitement is noticable. That the Flathead region can add the mining of precious metals to its now unequalled list of resottrees is fully established by the discovery of silver, lead and copper veins of unus- ual dimensions. THE COUMBIAN'S in- formation is necessarily meagre for the reason that the discovers would jeopardized their interests by giving the public a detailed statement. How- ever our readers will be given accur- ate details within the next two weeks. One mail arrived at Columbia Falls ill four days. That tells the story and is a reastmable excuse for the exas- peration now exhibited by the citi- zens. There are some things in this life which puzzle the wisest men, butt the reason for such a measly mil ser- vice as the pasple of this country are now getting would befuddle Solo- mon. Mr. John Wannamaker \will hear something to his interest\ by ealling at Columbia Falls. RECI Pli0CITY RESULTS. Mr. Blaine will have opportunity to show the prat.( ical working of tin' rec- iprocity doctrine. The United States and the Spanish government 'have practically settled upon a reciprocity treaty between this government and the Spanish possessions in the West Indies, notably the island of Cuba. Under the pro\ isioes of this treaty sugar, coffee and I. will be a d- mitted to this couw 73 - t ' of duty. In exchange for lid S:411 ii mIntit to its posse.ision,; ast 1 d., maim - fact tired articles of tI v. and thaw and cereals will be toln. teal on the same basis as Spuds.. flour. 1\ hen it is considered that the light- houses in the hurl or of Havana can be sighted from Key \Vest. and that the distance and cost of transporta- tion from Amerieun ports will not be one-fourth tvhat they are from Spain it will be e‘ ideal that ,henceforth the United States, and not Europe, will furnish the flour and gratin for con- sumption in the West belies. This treaty means more to the Northwest than to any other section, while its importance to the American manu- facturer must not be underestimated. Under the old tariff rule Spain has practically excluded the entrance of American food products, and less than one -sixth of the flour used in Cuba in past years was imported from the United States. Under the new treaty the order of things will be reversed. A new market will Ix+ opened for the wheat and flour product of the north- west, and renewed commercial activ- ity directly to the soul It, mind immense shipments through Galveston, Ne Orleans and other ports to the West Indies. It is a practical illustration of the medium between tariff as it has beet' and absolute free. trade. It is apparently the sort of tariff reform that benefits the ninny rather than the few.

Pouyer-Quertier, the French political economist, who died a fort- night ago, was subjected to a curious test by Bismarck in 1871. when at Frankfort with Jules Fevre arranging a Franco-Prussiau treaty. The stur- dy Teuton gave him at dinner a drink compounded of English porter, schnapps and champagne, and the pulp of roasted apple beaten up in it. M. Fevre could not touch it, but M. Pouyer-Quertier quaffed as many bumpers of the horrible brew as the prince and kept his head.
