Where is John James Ingalls, of Kansas? Has he joined the Alliance, or is he campaigning in Ohio? - - --- Jerry Simpson says \the farmers of Kansas are in a better condition than the farmers of any other state that he has seeu.\ This assertion is proof that Jerry hasn't traveled much. One of Kalispell's real estate men remarked on Thursday last: \Col- umbia Falls is making mom solid progress and putting up greater per- manent improvements, with less noise, than any place I ever saw.\ THE COLUMBIAN acknowledges re- ceipt of an invitation to attend the North Montana Fair, to be held Au- gust 17-19 inclusive, at Great Falls. It will no doubt be a successful event, as those Great Falls fellows have a habit of \getting there with both feet.\ Helena is beginning to show the \ces power that has been dor- mant for lo these many years. That city will be the meeting place of the r o) National Teachers' Association, and the Supreme Lodge of the A. 0. U. W. order in 1892. Now if Helena • uld bring about the building of the Avon route and get a firm hold I)\ he 7!'lathead trade, she would • - •ir Fee world that the moss crop .1 giehered for the last time. Court business opened up bright and early Monday morning, and the mills of justice had a grist. With a court at home the people of this vi- cinity can settle their differences in the proper manner without the an- noyances experienced a month ago. Before the establishment of Columbia township citizens of the upper Flat- head valley had to travel from twenty to forty miles, and then take chances on getting a fair deal. The members of the Farmers' Alli- ance had a jollification meeting at At- r illiailli tere Gee. Weater, Colonel Polk, nta last treek, and the end men Sam Small and Sodden Jerry Simp- son. They created much enthusiasm and the two old parties were flayed most unmercifully. Weaver fur- nished the tariff jokes, Polk rattled the bones of the half-hearted gran- gers, Sam Small did a specialty act in which he emitted flames from the cavity in his face, and Jerry—well he changed socks and broke up the meeting. Prof. Everatan, who is visiting Mon- tana with a view to establishing a fish hatchery, should not fail to see Whitefish and Terry lakes. They are as fine bodies of water as can be found anywhere in the United States, and possess advantages for fish cul- ture that are preeminent. There can be no doubt that the waters of the Flathead are suitable for Mr. Ever - man's scheme. Unlimitee. in volume, and as pure as running water can be, it seems certain that the professor will not leave this region without se - 'Ming a site. The water mains reached the cen- ter of Columbia Falls Monday, work on the new bridge across the Flathead river was resumed, grading the streets is going ahead, the machinery for the electric light plant has ar- rived, the boilers for the largest com- bined lumber, shingle, lath and planing mill in Montana is on the ground, excavation was commenced on another solid brick block, while the dozens of private enterprises and building plans are being carried out. That shows the progress Columbia Falls is making. And the people are not blowing any trumpets about it either. The governor of Tennessee has or- dered the entire state militia to Brice - vile to protect the convict miners who were put at work in place of strikers. A few days since the miners captured the troops, put them on trains and sent them to Knoxville, and nobody was hurt. The miners then took the convicts to jail and fed them. Not a blow was struck or shot fired. From all we can learn the miners should win. Convicts should not be put in the places of free laborers, and Gov- ernor Buchanan will not get much sympathy from this region if he 6111Saild1616 at -Na- to Sippstt.aLs. A well known workman on the line of the Great Northern writes to this paper to know if there is \any way under God's sun to get mail up the line of the road?\ That is a question. Shepard & Siems have a mail carrier who is paid by a deduction of one cent a day from the wages of every laborer on the line. His compensa- tion is high enough to give the men a good mail service. From all that can be gathered we surmise that the col- lection of the compensation of the mail carrier is about the only portion of the transaction that receives stu- dious care. If the men along the line do not re .iee what they pay for they should appeal to the proper con- tractors in person, and if Shepard & Sims moan to be fair the mail diffi- culty will soon be remedied. - - A writer signing himself \Rancher\ writes to THE COLUMBIAN that, while much credit is due General Eaton for the prompt manner in which the sur- vey passed through the formality of his office, there are others who de- serve especial commendation. \Rancher\ is quite right. There are many persons to whom much credit is due in working for the acceptance of the Rakovitz survey, among them Ramsdell Brae., C. Y. Reeder, Frank Langford, G. H. Wheeler and many others who not only gave time but also money for the work. Now that a great move has been made there is much to be grateful for, and the workers are all entitled to the thanks of settlers generally. -------- - TIMBER CUTTING. As upon every question, the press of this state is divided upon the tim- ber cutting question. The recent de- cisions of the Interior department have brought the matter into new prominence. Under new rules per- sons and corporations may cut timber from public lands xereepermission has been received from the department. There is in this ruling no apparont disposition to permit the denuding of public lands, but on the contrary, an evident desire to permit the cut- ting of timber to aid the development of the country. Those who criticise the rulings have evidently failed to consider two points, viz: (I) that tim- ber cutting rights do not extend to agricultural lands, and consequently work no hardship upon the fanner; (2) that the claims of squatters and settlers are exempt from the general timber cutting permit. Further than this mineral land is not included in the territory over which a permit ex- tends. Thus it appears that the ruling is in favor of development and civiliza- tion. It is surely in the line of pro- gress. Montana miners, millers, and even renchmen can recollect the time when they ran the gauntlet of prose- cution when they cut enough timber to carry on their improvements. Dur- ing the time that those restrictions were in f-ee Montana did not pro- gress—it practically stood still until the government became more liberal with its public domain. It was a glad day for Montana when that policy was changed. Timber is necessary to the development of Montana's re- sources, and its manufacture is one of the state's greatest industries. There are billions and billions of feet ----enough for all purposes for a cen- tury to come. It is only necessary, then, to prevent its being wasted, and there are sufficient penalties for that abuse. WITH THE EDITORS. An OW Back Number. That cannibalistic yarn from Brazil, sent out by the Associated Press re- cently, went the rounds of the press about a year ago and was stolen bod- ily from a novel, the title of which is now forgotten. Once a year is too often to spring that tale. Once every five years is enough.—Gazette. Nu Trunks. no Honeymoon. A brida and groom are making a bridal tour from Chicago to New York on bicycles. So says a current paragraph, and we will give it full credence as soon as we are satisfied that a bicycle has been invented that will carry three or four large trunks. —Helena Herald. Looking for is Snap. A dispatch from Washington says the emancipated slaves of Brazil re- fuse to work for love or money. They must be waiting to be appointed walking delegates.—Standard. gym,. Bit of That Sum. - Montana fat steers are now bring- ing $5.50 a cwt. in the Chicago mar- ket and the heart of the cattle king is filled with rejoicing. Our beef product will bring into the state this year scarcely less than $10,000,000.— Great Falls Tribune. In Hot Weather. Peppered dishes properly belong to summer time. Strange as it may seem, curries and hot dishes of all kinds are of a tropical or Indian ori- gin. Even the birds and animals of the tropics use Chile peppers as arti- cles of diet. Under the influence of hot weather the appetite flags, and seems to need some such stimulus.
