MONTANA TERRITORY. Notes From One of The Bee's Special Correspondents, Mining, Stock Raising, and Other Industries of That Thriviug Territory t the Omaha Re ' CAMP, 1 HEew Gare Cavoy, August 15, 1881 Perhaps daring no epoch in the his: tory of the territory has it seen such promises for future prosperity as it Railroads are fast push- rent por- does now. ing their lines through ¢ tions of the territory, racing and fighting each other for various rights- | of-way. The great strife now going on is between the U. P. R. R. and the Utah Northern, both companies straining every effort to get posses- sion of coveted passcs and vallies to “yun their lines through, The objeet- ive point for both roads is Helena, via Crow Indian creeks, where both companies have large forces to work, and indications are that the rival companies will crash, The graders of the Utah Northern pulled up the surveyors’ stakes of the U, P. R. R., and each company is recruiting large parties to work on the same line. The pass between Crow creek and Indian creek is still held by the U, & N. grading force which is increased to sixty men and twenty teams. ‘A N. P. party still stronger in number is being recruited for the purpose of wresting the pass from the U, & N. company, who claim the N. & P, h not shown proper diligence in Yru-o- cuting the work, . This is strongly de; nied by Mr. Villard, whose in- Jjunctions are to push all things along the line. Montana is yet in its in- fancy, and affords a_fine field for the energetic man, Mining which is hardly begun is one great source of wealth. Many of the mines being, very valuable, turn- ing out large quantities of rich ore daly. Stock raising is carried on exten- | slvely, immense herds of fine cattle roaming the mountains, fattening on the rich grasses, never needing any care, and are only seen at the semi- annually round-ups, where they are assorted out, the fat ones for market, the unbranded for the red hot iron, and then turned loose for another six months run. Immense droves of horses are seen in every vally and canyon the owners having but a faint idea of how many they own, knowing them only by their brands, Sheep are extensively raised, and do well, many rancher owning as high as from five to ten thousand head. The Angora goat 1s also takinga rominent plsce, one rancher in Deer fndgo valley owning seven hundred. The question is frequently asked, is Montana a good farming country? Judging from the present appearance of the crops, thers is no better farm. ing country to be found. The ripen- ing grain, for itis not yet harvesi tima—Fivql indicatiops of B most bountiful yield, wheat yielding from twenty to thirty-five bu-{mll per acre, and oats easily producing fifty bushels per acre; barley is also a good crop and pmrium heavily. The idea that it takes an immense amount of labor to rase grain here is erroncous. Of course a farmer must irrigate, but that is no great task and when once done, no matter what the season, it is but a small task to water your grain and produce, . Potatoes aro asure crop and are much better flayored than those raised in Nebras- ka. Theybring the modest sum of three cents per pound, and can and will produce from 100 to 300 bushels, according to the care given them No hordes of beotle and insects to devour your crop and leaye the farmer ina worae fix than ever. A crop isa sure thing here and prices are big; and in a few ycars a farmer becomes indes pendent. Oats sell for three cents per pound, barley and wheat about the same; but- ter never less than from 30c to §1 per Ez:nd; chickens $6 por dozen; egys per.dozen, and réady sale at that. In winter they conimand $1 a dozen. Farm hands find ready employment at $40 per month and ave. not:worked from daylight till dark, but work on regular ten hour plan. Workmen of. all classes country is rapidly building up. There are thousands of acres of land yet untaken in the valleys and paxe chan ces for farmerr, | ‘The Missouri and Bitter Root coun- trics will soon be .opened to the world by railways, and a finer farming country is not to be found, The elis mateis milder than in other portions and corn is extensively raised there and also hogs, which command a big price and find a ready sale. i Timber is. plenty, and logs can be obtained over fiu{ feet in length and not over a foot i diameter. They ean also be got the same length and not over four inchesin digmeter, for fencing. Everybody fences, us there is uo hord law. Respectfully, 1Kk, ep— Better You Let Him Go.

A Few Items From One of Nehras- ka's Growing Counties, Just now Pawnee has every reason to rejoice over the railrond boom it is o| tory. re in good demand, The i receiying but aside from this, this year has been the darkest in its his- The shortage in crops will amotint to more than $100,000 in the farmers’ pockets alone, and a $15,000 county treasurer's steal besides, the two principal towns in' the ‘county have lost about $100,000 by fire, The campaign i8 primarily begun by the recent announcements made by the county central committee Can- didates are now placing themselves in line, only to tumble as “‘Castles built A railroad south from Pawnee into Kansas, to intersest and deaw local traf- fic trom the Gould lines in that state, appears to be the latest sensation that has the color of reality. Y *‘Clean uwee}:" appears to be the universal cry from all parts of the county in relation to candidates for county oftices this fall. Tho people are tived of the old ring and desire a new deal, with the hope of finding where and how $15,000 should have disappeared from the public funds of the county within eight months’ time. Many and loud are the pronunciamen- toes of dissatisfaction against the present administration. Our county attorney, it is ramored, receives the magnificent sum of $100 per year for his services as such offi- cer, Is it because the county is una- ble to pay more or is it because the attorney is not worth more? Pawneo is the banner wool growin county in the state. She exporte #he pyoduct of 58,000 sheep this year. Cable Rock is agitating the town site question again, If the enterpris- ing business men of that quiet little burg only knew that moving and re- moving has crippled its vital inte thus far it would on the event of ro- ceiving a branch railroad in the near future settle down to business. A normal institute under the direc- torship of Superintendent 0. D. Howe is receiving marked attention, and is reviving our educational in- terests during this hot weather, My, Howe is rezarded as ‘‘a star of the first magnitude” in educational mat- ters and second to none in the state, Pawnee politicians paid one of Pinkerton's pukes $200 for coming from Chicago to act as detective in the recent treasury crookedness. Af- ter telling some jwholesale lies about our business men and playing dandy he collected his pay ,and returned to the bosom of his first love, leaving the tax payers sadder but poorer men. Our county commissioners imported a royal blooded Scotchman nus om- ployed him as deputy county clerk at a salary of §500 per year. This is the way Pawnee statesmen’ pay their political debts. At the next election they will find out thatall the tax pay- ers in the county are not Scotchmen when'it comes to voting, Pawnee City, when rebuilt, con- ;emflntcl lighting up with gas.

What He Saw There Given in a Brief Way, Corrospondence of the Otaha Bec Wimer, August Wilber is the ¢hild of conflict. 8he has fought long and_hard for every she has ever gained and the vietory | hias been hers, It tequired a small acmy of armed men to bring the county archives [ from Crete after Wilber had won the county seat as the result of a spirited fight, that at times threatened to de- stroy the plucky little village. To- day, however, some of the best and who strongest men in the county were then fighting against Wilber, are now - citizens and property holders ke here and doing all they can to a city of this enterprising and vi ous little town, The court house, like the Omaha high school, is the special pride of the town. It towers over it, and from its roof & view s presented that cannot be surpassed in the State. Far away to the north cant be seen the Doane college in Crete, while to the south the rowfs of DeWittreflect the sun. Theriver Blue winds in graceful curves through the highly cultivated farms of this most rich and fertile region. Naztural and artificial groves dot the landscape; away to the east rises the high prairie that ‘forms the divide between the Missouri and the Blue rivers. On the west ‘a boundl dulating, and everywhete can be seen farmers’ homes of the better class. Sod halls, dug-outs and shanties are things of the past. During the four weeks that I have traveled through Southwestern Ne- braska, I have not seen an inhabited dug-6ut or sod house, while, five years ago, the majority of the farmers in this same region had no other shelter, but five years makes wondrous changes in this land of progress. True there are still stretches of vacant raw prairie, here and there, and the new comer not' infrequently is found beginning the work of turn- ing over the virgin soil, but the home- steader must go farther west, It is cash that buys these farms and the class of settlers that are coming have, at least, wealth enough to make a payment and build a frame house. Often they are wealthy and come to fatten stock for the market or raise sheep by the thousand. The old tiners if not rich are com- fortably situated, excepting perhaps some of the more reckless; though, as a rule, that class sold out long since and, going farther west, they are to- day pioneering the route for the ad- vanced civilization that will again tell them to move on, Perfection in soil, beauty in the landscape, health in the pure air and tho conveniences that the railrcad brings and time develops make this valley a region [that is truly the farmers’ paradise, and hundreds, yes, thousands, who came here with noth- ing but energy and muscle, are to-day men ot means, honored tor the con- spicuous part they have taken in de- veloping the country. THE TOWN is beautifully situated on both sid the Beatrice branch of the B. & R. R. The business portion is in the valley and the residences and court house are on the top of the gentle slope that everywhere bounds the valley of the Bluo. Two large grain elevators and a magnificent flouring mill are conspicu- ous among the solid improvements. A fine brick block which will be occu- pied by Edwards' bank and a store or two is now being erected, E. W. Dix, contractor. Last winter a disastrous fire swept over a portion of the town, but it only increased the building boom, and made every one more determined than ever to make Wilber ‘the best town of ong of the best counties in the state, Wilber has been a fighting town and two fist fights and three dog fights oc- curred during the twenty-four hours of my stay. 'The population is some- what 'diversified as to nationality. The old county-seat and other semi- political fights are still remembered and when the Crete beer gets to fer- menting in the noddles of some of the *‘visiiing statesmen” from the sur- rounding farms, either the men or the dogs are liable to take up the old quarrels and fight it out with primi- tive weapon Time will heal these wounds, To quarrel over dead issues 18 senseless and is not, of course, Wilber's citizens, POLITICS are gotting very lively andthe skir- mish for nomination isnow on. J. K, Corey, formerly of Crete, is gener- ally considered to be the proper man for reelection to tho judgeship of Saline county, Mr. 0. Duras has ac- ceptably cared for the county funds, but it is generally eonsidered tlat his deputy, My, John' ¥, Spirk, a young Jut able man, will be tendered tho re- publiean nomination for that office. My, 0. H. Blocumb, the old veteran of many a 'battle with both bullets and ballots, is again in the field for , and the stufl’ of which subject to defeat. Mr. Slocumb will be county elerk for another term and udimx by the appearance of his 0oks there is no man who could bets ter fill the bill. There are two publie spirited men to whom T owe my success in making a fine list of subscribers in Wilber, Mr. Henry Clark, the owner of the big elevator and Mr. 8. D.
