Several eastern papers announce that Secretary of War Proctor will succeed Geo. E. Edmunds in the United States senate. The man mho leaves Flathead val- ley without seeing Columbia Falls fails to see the most progressive town in the valley, the future industrial center, and the coming railroad city , of Northwest Montana. THE COLUMBIAN this week contains several rulings by Commissioner Carter, which will be interesting to the ranchtnen and lumbermen of this section. They are clear and easily understood. Read them carefully. Melbourne and his rain making apparatus are now in Wyoming, but as yet no floods has been turned loose. There is a prevalent opinion among scientists that the Melbourne scheme has some elements of success. The plan to send an exhibit of the 'products of the Flathead valley to the Spokane exposition should meet with hearty approval of ranehmen and business men. Samples may be left with J. W. Loveall on the east side or at THE COLUMBIAN Office. Professor Foster, the weather prophet, warned the country that a frost would occur on Aug. 24. He was ridiculed, but the frost came on that date, and though not a heavy one was noticed in many parts of Nebraska. The professor either knows something or is a first-class guesser. The plan to send an exhibit of the products of the Flathead country to the Spokane exposition should meet with hearty encouragement. The people of Washington are not aware,' perhaps, that within one hundred miles of their State line lies the finest agricultural region of the entire Northwest. The campaign in Ohio is at fever heat. McKinley, opposed to silver aud favoring high tariff, and Camp- bell, favoring silver coinage and low tariff, are the features of the fight. It grows interesting, and milk money will be spent this year than at any election ever held in Ohio, and that means a good sum. Helena and Missoula business men snubbed Mullen, on their recent ex- cursion to the Coeur d' Alene country, and thereby made a blunder. Mullen is one of the best towns in that region, and the Montana men must have been under the \inflooence\ to have slept soundly while thotraiu passed through Mullen. They are repenting their folly now. The railroad grade is completed within one mile and three eighths of the center of Columbia Falls. Still some parties are industriously circu- lating the report that the railroad is going three miles from this city. Stran- gers visiting the valley should refuse to be gulled by the stories of parties who are enthusiastic in manu- facturing canards. The Helena races are over, and f o the first time in years, the sports did not have everything their own way. The immense aggregation of sure - thing horsemen has in years past been a drawback to the Helena asso- ciation. It is hoped the spell is broken, and that the new state fair will be free from handicaps in the way of trickery. _ The highway robber is getting in his work on the borders of the National park, and the large force of regular troops are slumbering peace- fully in the possession of a soft snap. The Yellowstone park has an abund- ance of extortionists within its borders, and the man who can escape with a few dollars and his jewelry should be permitted to go unmolested. United States cavalry is again called to eject settlers from the In- dian territory. Settlers have arrived there by hundreds, the Indian lands have been squatted upon, and even local town goverumeuts have been established. Now the boomers are to be driven out. There is not much sympathy for men who violate the law and defy the authorities. If e ore they would come to Montana or some other good state in the Northwest, where lands are free and where 160 acres are worth more than any sec- tion of land in the Indian territory. - - The bank clearings do not show so well for the past week. Denver shows a decline of 26.4 per cent, Omaha 36.2 per cent, and Kansas City 18.2 per cent. All the Eastern cities except Chicago and St. Louis showed a de- cline. Salt Lake, which has shown an increase for the most of the summer, scored the small decline of 0.7 per cent. The decline for the whole country was 10.6 per cent., and outside of Now York it was 2.3 per cent. All these figures are in compari- son with the corresponding week last year. The yearly showing will be fully 25 per cent better than 1891, with better crops and a much better European market. The question of ashnitting colored men into the Patriotic Order of Sons of America occupied the most of a day at the recent meeting in Phila- delphia. All ballots resulted the same —59 for and 130 against it. Most. of the opposition to eliminating the word \white\ from the consti- tution conies from Illinois and Ohio delegates, who voted as a unit against it. The sentiment of the convention was strongly in favor of admissien, the Pennsylvania delegation being unanimous in the colored man's favor, but the arbitrary clause in the con- stitution requiring four -fifths of the vote to change the constitution en- abled the opponents to defeat the measure. Some of the friends of the measure changed their votes so as to move a re -consideration and the question will be called up again probably. George P. Smith was nominated national president. The Indian's Lcgal At the annual meeting of the American Bar Association last Satur- day Mr. Hornblower, of New York, delivered an address on ` . ‘The Legal Status of the Indian.\ The subject was chosen, as the speaker declared, on account of the acquittal of the Indian who killed Lieut. Casey on the ground that a state of war existed between the United States and the tribe to which the murderer belonged, says the Helena Herald. He spoke severely of the practice of giving a national character to wretched remnants of Indian tribes, and urged that Congress should pass an act subjecting Indians within the jurisdiction of any State or Territory to the criminal laws of such States or Territories, and all Indians upon reservations to the . criminal laws of the United States, and further that they be no longer recognized as hav- ing the rights of belligerents. Mr. Hornblower might have found an ad- ditional argument in support of his recommendations in a circumstance that occurred in Montana some years ago. An Indian killed another on a reservation. Learning that an officer of the United States was in pursuit for the purpose of arresting him, he hastily called the chiefs together and persuaded them to try him by a tribal court. This w..s done and the murderer was fined a few poitiee to be delivered to the relatives of the vic- tim as a compensation for their loss, which is the Indian idea of justice in such cases'. When the murderer was apprehended and taken before the United States court for trial, he in- terpo•ael a plea of previous convic- tion, and the court felt obliged to recognize it and directed the jury to find a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Hornblower has rendered a public service in calling attention to the necessity of terminating a condition of things that opens the way to such mockings of justice.

Hardware, tinware and counter goods of all kinds on Sunday's boat for C. F. Fullerton. During a recent parade in Cheboy- gan, Mich., ten red-headed girls rode on ten white horses. A nice line of Ladies' and Misses trimmed hats just received at the Missoula Mercantile Co. It is estimated that at least 1,000,- 000 pounds of rubber are annually used for bicycle tires. Under the eaves of one barn in Skowhegan, Me., are 130 nests of swallows. Dr. Dowd, of New York, has found that each cubic inch of soil contains from 60,000 to 2,250,000 minute or- ganisms. White & Murphy, at the City Mar- ket, Second Avenue West, are selling choice meats at very reasonable prices. A mining corporation in the copper region of Upper Michigan will sink the deepest shaft in the world—over 4,000 feet, at least. _ COURAGE. I like the man who faces what he must With steps tflumpliant and a heart of cheer— Who fights the dully battle without fear; Sees his hopes fall, yet keeps unfaltering trust That God is God; that somehow, true and just, His plans work out for mortals; rot a tear Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear. Falls from his grasp. Better, with love, a crust, Than living in dishonor; envies not Nor loses faith in man; but does his best, Nor ever murmurs at his humbler lot, But with a smile and words of hope, gives zest To every toiler. He alone is great Who, by a life heroic, conquers fate. —Sarah T, Bolton. A Sure Way to Kill a Fly. It is a curious fact that a fly cannot see a sharp edge. He can be cut in two easily with a sharp knife. Hold the blade sharp edge down over him and bring it down slowly upon him. They rarely get away. This may seem cruel, but it is in the interest of science, as the vivisecticeists say. While N. Ham, of Vahlesta, Ga., was rambling in Swanooeeee the other day he hoards, splashing in the water. On investigating ho was sur- prised to find two largo alligators fighting. It was the hardest fight he ever saw and lasted fully an hour. A SPLENDID OFFER.
