During many vears northern Montana was us a sealed book to the outside world.

It was locked up in a great Indian reservation and its vast agricultural, grazing and mineral wealth left in the undisturbed possession of a few hundred savages who were fed and clothed at the expense of the general government. A new order of things obtained when the Great Northern sought aud gained the right of way through the inmense domain. The Indians were placed upon reduced reservation, and the finest kady of lands in the northwest was thrown open to settlement. This was done less than two years ago. And now the silver lining to the cloud which for many years has hung like a pall aver northern Montana is being seen.

A great railway traverses nearly the entire Jength of its 20,000,000 acres of land, settlements have sprung up on the line of the iron thorougnfare and the hardy pioneers are making their presence felt.

Kinkeade, living near Sanford. save the Great 1 Falls had two horses stolen from his range. He traveled the whole country over, but could get no trace of them. A few days ago Mr. K.

arrived in this city and made his loss known to. Sheriff Hamilton. The sheriff had heard of a strange man doing good deal of borse" trading "Tately up the Han river valley and concluded that it would be a good ider to investigate the matter. Accordingly he and Mr. Kinkeade on Thursday made a trip up the valley and found the horses they were in sparelrof and also procured a description of the man who bad traded them off for another team.

They returned to the city and learning that there was 8 wan at Belt who answered the description of the thief, they went. out to Belt yesterday and succeeded in capturing man. He gave his name as Frank Lo Ineyre and is said to be an old hand at horse stealing. Hie is now in the county jail, The Camp of Pony. Life and activity are visible on every side.

Many new buildings have gone up, says the Miner. Others are in process of construction. the mill is pounding out its daily quota of forty tons of ore, and the machinery for a 200-ton concentrator is oll the ground, ready to be put in place. Even the dispositions of the citizens seem to have. undergone a change.

They believe in Pony. Among the old-timers I have found but one who bas not shaken off his old time habit of croaking. Unless death works a wondrous Change in the disposition of some good men, I suppose there will be croakers in heaven. A Big Ditch. W.

F. Kirby has been conferring with the ranchers of valley for some time and has about completed arrangemeuts by which an immense irrigating ditch will be run through that valley during the coming summer, says the Livingston Post. It is proposed to take water out of the Yellowstone at a point near Chickery and thence along the west side of the river through Paradise valley. The length of the ditch has not yet been determined as the place for taking it out has not been definitely Jocated. taken out above Chickery will be 11 miles in length, but if taken out this side it will be about six miles long.

The ditch will have a capacity of 2,500 inches and will cost between $7,000 and $10,000, Two Bridges for the Missouri, At a joint session of the commissioners of Meagher and Jefferson counties it is probable that' negotiations will -be entered into for the building of a wagon bridge across the Missouri river at Townsend, says the Husbandman, to be constructed by Meagher county and one -across the same river at Toston to constructed by Jefferson county. So far as Meagher county is concerned we would say that certainly if the people of the Missouri valley want these bridges they should have. them, as they have scarcely had their share of the improvements on roads made, by the county. A Booin for Townsend. Never before in the history of Townsend has the outlook been so favorable.

The frigating canal that is sure to be com menced if not completed this coming summer will put thousands of acres of fertile lands on the market, says the News.
