2 I'HE OMAHA DAluY BEL TUESDAY. MAY 2 1882 — MAGNIFICENT MONTANA. Hon, W. F. S8aunders Tells of 1ts Growth, Its Resources and Ite Ooming Hal- cyon Days. An Exceedingly Interosting Re- sume of the Politioal Status and Statehood Aspirings 8t. Paul Pioveor-Press, “Tt is a magnificent territory and so fertile and capacious in resource and product that it can amply sup port—and will in time--a million souls, Of retrogression inpopulation, as in the case of Nevada, there is ab- solutely no possibility.” Thus spake Hon, W. F. Sanders concerning Montana the magnificent last evening when found in the Met- ropolitan hotel. The gentleman’s judgment is entitled to the fullest consideration. A resident of Helena for man, years, attorney for the Northern Pacific in the terri- tory, ex-member of many legislatures, candidate for congressional delegate on the republican side in the campaigns of 1864, 1868 and 1880, identified with many important frontier intereats and thoroughly conversant with the people, the products, the plains and the valleys, Mr. Sanders is a mine of information, which he has digested and is not only able but willing to make public. The interview pro- coeded in the usual fashion of ques. tion and answers, though but a por- tion of the latter can be given here: MONTANA'S SHARE OF IMMIGRATION. “How is Montana faring in this wonderful immigration season?” ‘“Well, sir, well. The larger por- tion of theinflow is brought by the Union Pacific and Utah Northern railways, which carry in the uniwr{ from 100 to 200 people per day. counted a train with 176 incomers and was told that was about the average. The Northern Pacific brings in fifty to seventy-five daily, and each boat takes about fifty, and it is probably fair to say there are three boats a week, and will be for three months, Of course this rush will not continue for more than threo months most probably, but estimating the present population at 75,000—which 18 certainly moderate enough—it is safe to say that by the end of the sea- son there will be from 90,000 to 100,- 000 residents. The majority of the immigrants who come by the Union Pacific settle in the western part of the territory. I mean west of the Belt mountains, and about the Barker and Maginnis mines, the Judith basin and contiguous places. The others locate on the Yellowstone or Mussel- shell or the northern part of the terri- tory. The western settlera are nearly all from the states, from Maine to Mis- souri, while among the others is a large foreign element, the Scandina- vian predominating. All are of the working classes, and many have some property in ready mone; or household and ‘agricultural effects, or both. The men who live by their wits are reprosented too, of course, and I guess the new ones can get a living for a while. They are sharper than those of like class who preceded them, and the old- timers will have to go north of the dominion line, and work their games on the half-breeds and Indians. There is no use denying the fact that the class of men which settled Montana, and for a long time formed the prin- cipal part of the population, were not of the thrifty sort who now come from the New England and middle states. It was come easy, go easy with most of the extreme western and southern men who migrated earlier, but many of the latter have learned to work now, and well, and the present influx are nearly all of the steady- going sort, “In your judgment which will prove the greatest future factor towards Montana’s wealth, mining, grazing or agrioculture?” “That's & hard question to answer authoritatively since a development has not yet been reached from which absolute facts can be deducted. In my judgment agriculture will take first place, grazing next and mining last, but who can tell into what the mines may develop! They are yet comparatively in their infancy.” THE POLITICAL STATUS AND OUTLOOK, “I know of no one better posted thereon than yourself. Mr. Sanders, what is the political aspect of affairs in Montana?” “‘Thai’s another hard question to answer. Montana is regarded as a democratic territory and it has so voted I know, but I firmly believe that we can make it republican. Sixty per cent. of the immigrants are of that political persuasion and then the Mis- sourians and Irish, who vote the dem- ocratic ticket and support each other for office, ete.,are really about as con- genial as a Chinaman and a hoodlum, My belief is thay the republicans will elect a delegate to congress this fall, Maginnis (the present delegate) has said, and said in writing, that he wouldn’t “be a candidate, but they all 'say that, you know. Any other man they could put up we could beat easily, and I think we can beat him. Maginnis is at heart a republican, served bravely as a fed- eral soldier and suppo; the Union heartily. A large part of his con- stituents were disunion men in the civil war, and in their hearts are so yet. Lots of them carried muskets on the southern side. Of course Ma- innis is for those who elected him, © 18 really the only resident in Mon- tana who has represented her in Wash- ington, and there is a dearth of men who have the requisite knowledge of political affairs, who know men and manners in and about the seat of the nation. But I repeat my statement that the present outlook is for a re- m}zl,l'un majority in Montana next THE QUESTION OF STATEHOOD, “‘How about a Pliutlun for sdmis- sion to lhuhoud{" *‘If an enabling act were passed to- morrow I believe that by the time a constitution had been framed Mon- tana would have enough people to en- title it to admission. Certanly in two years at farthest we shall be ask- ing for the toga of a full-fledged state. I tell you our people want it; they except the judges, who seem to have 1dentified themselyes with the people) and decent folks hold aloof from them, recognizing that part of their expected duties is to spy outour actions and report. I was in Wash- ington a short time ago, and apropos of this admission question I'll tell you what I heard there from very high authority. Thus reads the handwriting on the wall, ‘The chances for Dakota’s ad mission during this term are slim,’ and this is recognized. Something must be done, and this is the scheme. Let some representative Montana man—Maginnis, probably, and he'd do it quick enough—go to the leaders of the opposition and say, ‘See here, what's the use of this fight against Dakota’s admission. You've given it away that the objections are purely partisan and are really thus down on the records. You may stave the thing off, but it's bound to come. etation. way Dakota has the people and the right: now, yield gracefully and say, if Da- kota, why not Montana! The latter haversacks they sometimes carry their food—though many people believe they convey the dirt in them which they remove from tieir holes. On two ocoasions we have found green grass in these pockets, so we do not acoept the other idea. They doubtless go out and gather green tood in the night, though in rare in- stances we have seen one abroad in daylight but this is very unusual. Less is probable known to the naturalists concerning the life-history of the pouched gopher than any other of our mammals—for the reasons that they live 80 exclusively under ground and are 80 difficult to capture and keep in captivity, Few naturalists—in fact we know of none--have ever seen a Luby gopher. Little if anything is known of their habits in winter. They are said to have, down 1n the numer- ouy winding and most intr- cate labyrinths of their bur- rows, lying-in-hospitals, granaries, or storehouses, sleeping _apart- ments, and water-closets, We are prepared t8 believe all this—for they has, or soon will haye, sufficient pop- ulation, and as it is Democratic it will offset Republican Dakota.” Who knows?! Maybe a scheme like that would work first rate, “‘Suppose Montana should turn out republican after the plan was consum- mated?” “‘Ay, there’s the rub, That makes 'em pause,” THE RAILWAY PROSPECTS, ‘‘What predictions can you make or certainties give upon the railroad out- look?” ““The Northern Pacific will be com- pleted to the Pacific const next year, and 750 miles, a third of the whole distance, runs through Montana. Owing to the perennial howl raised by Buell, Hurlbut and other newspaper men about the ‘unfulfilled con- tract,’ a ‘lapsed land grant,’ etc., the management of that road is hampered and is bending its energies to the early completion of the main line, to the exclusion of many feeders and branches which would otherwise have been built syn- chronously, But I believe during the present year a branch 100 miles long will be built from Bozeman to the Yellowstone National park, another of 160 miles from Billings to Fort Ben- ton and a fifty-mile spar from Garri- son to Batte. Probably a branch will also be run from Helena to Benton and Sun river. The Union Pacific, within _ this year or the next will build 200 miles of branches, taking in Helena and the national park. We have great hopes that the St. Paul, Minne- apolis & Manitoba will reach the Milk river country, Assinniboine and Benton, trending northwestward from Fort Buford, and our hopes suggest that this corporation cannot come too soon. We want mechanics 1n Mon- tana, where miners, cattle-raisers and merchants are now so largely in the majority, and artificers come with the railroads and stay when it is com- pleted. Mr. Sanders talks rapidly and well, and attributes no little of his faculty of expression to newspaper experience ganed in Ohio, in bygone days, when the editor of his town paper leaving for all time after a big spree, he, then a young law student, was called upon to don the weighty role of editorial responsibility. Tens of thousands of dollars are squand- ered yearly npon traveling quacks, whogo from” town to town professing to cure all the ills that our poor humanity is heir to.

In it he says: The fact is, the gophers and ground squirrel belong to different and widely separated genera, and there isnothing in common between them. The gopher is an underground worker, like the mole, and is seldom seen abroad in the daylight, It is, moreover, a veg- etarian, living for the most part upon the roots it finds in its underground travels—though it no doubt takes in such grubs, worms and like ‘‘small deer” as may come in its way. In un- settled prairie regions its principal diet no doubt, consists of the roots of the native grasses and weeds, belng espe- cially fond of the tubers of the wild artichoke, Where it burrows in cul- tivated fields it makes sad havoo with the tame grasses and clover, not only by devouring the roots, but ‘)y throw- ing up large heaps of dirt which cover large spaces and smother out the veg- Then they dig their passage- near the top of the ground that a horse or cow, and often a man will break through, The result of this is they are capable of doing dam- age to meadows. destructive in an orchard, as they fre quently devour all the roots of an ngple tree and one never knows what 4 They are also very oy are doing until the tree begina to- lean to one side and is about ready to fall, In the spring of 1880 we lost a dozen choice young trees, just read to come into bearing, from the wicke work of these destructive pests, Oue cornerof the orchard seemed to be their particular abiding place, and it alwost impossible to fi « eep an apple tree A-SN\'IDK on about an acre of ground. They sometimes destroy potatoes in the hills, but this to no very serious, oxtent. Again, they burrow up un- der a shock of wheat, oats or corn, and if it is left standing for some time will completely ruin it. Their favor- ite means of locomotion seems to be to dig their way through the ground, which they do wfth great ra) ugny, 1f they come to a hard roadbed they dig right through it, often piling up their heaps of dirt in the wagon tracks. If a gopher 18 caught fast by one of his fore feet in a steel trap, and is left to himself, he will dig a hole in the ground with the other foot and disap- pear, tnr and all, in & very few min- utes, The strength in their powerful fore-paws, jaws, and shoulders is are neat, sleek, handsome, well-fed, sharp, alert, knowing animals, and in building their homes would not be apt to omit any of the modern improve- ments, or forget ang inherited ex- periences of their ancestors. In fact, one of our near neighbors in plowing through a gopher mound turned up to the light one day a half a bushel or more of the tubers of the wild arti- choke-~and we have heard of other instances —so that the granary ques- tion may be regardoed as settled. Some day the other matters may be success- tally investigated. The true pourched gopher (Geomys bursarius) we would destroy outright if possible, for no good can ge credited up to them and they do a vast deal of damage. We have tried shooting and trapping them with varying success, but scme of the old chaps seem to ‘‘be too sharp for anything” in these dires- tions. There is one means, howeve, which seems to be perfectly sure, and that is poison. These animals are very fond of sweet potatoes. Our plan_is to cut a sweet potato into small pieces, and into these make all holes in which we put a little strychnine. By digging down be- tween the little heaps of dirt which they throw up, one can readily find their galleries or underground roads. The poisoned roots are placed in these ways and the holes filled up. When this is well done you will sel- dom be troubled any more by these mischievous rodents, and a gopher town will become a ‘“‘silent city.” A Significant Fact.

Deh Fook, a Chinese laundryman, who had been in this country twelve yeary, died in New York the other day of consumption. He was a con- spicuous member of a sort of Free- mason order. At 2 o'clock, says The Sun, two or three hundred Chinamen crowded around James Naughton’s undertak- ing rooms in Mott street, where the dead body of Deh Fook lay. A band played funeral airs, aud a dozen Chinamen beat tom- toms. Nearly every one present was smoking a cigar. The coffin was taken from the undertaker’s rooms to the middle of Mott sireet directly in front of the Chinese club house, where it was placed alongside of a table Iaden with funeral baked meats, Every Chinaman in the crowd put on an apron and decorated his black felt hat with ribbons. A red flag with Chinese characters on it was held in the hand of an aged Chinaman at the head of the coffin until there wasa break in the noises, when it was handed to & young man, who took up his po- sition at the foot. Mott street was filled with a shouting crowd, who jeered at the Chinamen, No one at. tompted to go inside the lines formed about the coffin, Subsequently a platoon of police came and preserved order. After another tune by the band, much beating of tom-toms, and the talking of three Chinamen who seemed to be repeating prayers, the coftin was put in the hearse and the Chinamen marched in procession to the Grand street ferry, protected by the police, There they got into forty car- riages and crossed to Williamsburgh, A crowd met them there. The aged Chinaman and the young man with the red flag rode in the carriage next the hearse. Those beating tom-toms followed next. Deputy Sherift Tom Lee sat in a carriage in aboutthe mid- dle of the line, There was some sharp driving along Broadway, with gongs benlintzl and flags and streamers flying. In the cemetery of the evergreens incense was burned over the rema provisions for the dead were left, and prayers were said. Deh Fook lies in grave No. b of the Celestial plot. Only five persons besides the Chinese looked un, Superintendent Jennings, of the cemetery, said if he had al- lowed the burial to take place on Sun- day afternoon the crowds would have trampled over graves and grass plots, broken grave stones and done other damage in their offorts to see the Chi- nese.
