JANUAHY 11. 1890. oni ride Circulation Larger than that of any Weekly Newspaper In the County. Westward Bound. Q uk at Falls, Moot., Dee. 24, 1889. Dkab Advocate: My last was from Chicago. Then I thought we had a country of great distances; with two days and three nights additional traveling I hare con eluded that this It a country of tnagulOcent distances. From Chicago oottitnt: of special obser vance was notice ablo until Su Paul was reached, except probably the crosstagTjf the "Father of Waters," which this far north is Ulte unto the Lehigh river at Lehighton. SU Paul and -Minneapolis are bustling, pushing cKles. It was my eood fortune and great pleasure at the latter place to meet two Lehlghton boys Fred Helm, who Is prospering in a commission houso, and Allen Dollenmayer, who has and is making his mark as a good citlien, enterprising and prosperous, and has at tained In his chosen occupation, that of a newspaper writer, a position that does credit to first class ability. He Is an in clslvo. able writer on the staff of the Min neapolis Tribune Star. Ills reputation and success is such that bis future before him Is beyond perad venture. I am grail fled as an old school companion to bear this observation and testimony as I ac quired it from people who know him In his sphere. Ifrs. Dollenmayer too is well and as matronly as of years gone by. From Minneapolis I came to this place, yla the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railroad, soon to be known as the Great Northwestern. This road is finely equipped In all the appurtenances that pertain to comfortable traveling, f ho managers are courteous and friendly In ministering to the wants of passengers. It is a good line and worthy the consideration of those who desire to see a magnificent section of our common country, and for such, who in the spirit of emigration propose to wend theh way westward to senk bo Ml. Soon after leaving the uaste t it'rmtnus of this road St. Paul- the . r . mences to pass through the l'r... and lake region of Minnesota, h crossing the ate border the train passes through the far famed wheat belt of the world the Red River valley of Dakota, This belt is a storehouse of wealth, es peclally in seasons when there Is sultlclenl moisture to raise a full crop of the staff ot life. In such seasons the farmers raise from forty to sixty bushels of A No. 1 hard wheat to the acre. Crops are raised here on a scale that would make the east em tiller of the soil gape with surprise. enyy and astonishment. During the past season a very dry spell has Interfered will the crops and as a result the garneriug was short of usual results, This, for the pres' ent, as Is natural, has somewhat affected the usual forces of trade and prosperity of the Dakotas. From Dakota the state of Montana Is entered, no;ed for its excellent grazing purposes and for Its rich mineral deposits richer than any other similar sec tion of country in the world In such as gold, silver, copper, lead, etc. What is known as the Milk River country of Mon tana is a yerv fine rolling prairie, natural! adapted to grazing, and sooner or later will become as noted for agricultural results as the Red River valley. Settlers ate con stantly going into this country and later on Its resources will become as popular) known as those further east. Then for the rush. Along the entire line of .the Man itoba road small towns are springing up, and from casual observance are thriving am? prosperous. For a distance of hundreds of miles, from the car windows cattle, sheep and horses can be seen grazing (they call It ranching) on these plains. It is no unusual sight to see herds of 250 and upwards In cbargo of the cowboys, pursuing their wonted way seeking sustenance in the rich and fattening prairie grasses, It Is a good business, and a paying business too. Many of those who started In the business upon a small capital are now men of competence and fortune. The necessary expenditure, comparatively speaking, Is small and the returns large. Passing on we came to Fort Assumption, the largest military post of the government west of the Mlsslsslpl. The next stopping place is Fort Benton, an ola Hudson Day trading post and the head of navigation on tho Xissourl River. Be fore railroads In this country Benton was a live frontier towu, doing the transfer business for the country to the west and south. It Is said th.H during the sixties and early seventies mauv millions of gold were transported over the plains, on wagons, from placer camps, to this station and there on boat down the Missouri to St. Louis. Whilst at Benton a Mr. Gran ville Stuart, an old timer, and posse boirdcd the train, with some $60,000 of gold bullion, one month's product of the Spotted Horse mine, on his way to Helena. This mine was sold last summer by a Mr. McAdow for $500,000. Two years pre vious, we were told, tha' lie would gladly have sold the same for 15,000. but could find no purchasers. Sue if fortune. Forty-three miles to 'he -,.,, Benton Is Oreat Falls, In a L.'t,u plain, located on the Jfissouil Rive, place of destiny, destined ut no great future to be a commercial and Industrial centre. It has all the natural attributes to make Ii ouch and If there Is sueh a thing as a nat ural location for a great Inland city, then this town of six years standing possesses It In an ample degree; coal, untold water power, mineral wealth and future agricul tural development tributary. The father of Great Falls, Hon. Paris Gibson, an elegant gentleman, perceiving the great future possibilities of -the place, like Peter founding bis church upon the rock, gave direction to that which In the future will be a monumeut to his sagacity and foresight a place that will hum with Industrial enterprises and bring wealth to the man of courage, for U offers almost phenomenal Inducements to the manufac turer and tradesman. The Mlstourl at this place In a distance of some miles has a fall over 350 feet. One of these falls h some thing over OS feet in height, and the power that can thus be utilized Is Immeus. It Is one of the prettiest locations ne nave be held so far. From the town to the south and east, some thirty-fire miles distant, the Little Belt mountains In their majesty loom up aud present a pleasing sight with their snow-capped summits. Two hun dred miles to toe west the main range of the Rockies, la their impressive gloiy and . ltasw, rtTMl tbamitlvM to lb ej 64 teem to say, behold the wondrous works of God. Impressive! Yes, Impressive I To tne north are the prairie and tablelands, swarming with animals. Thus with the Inexhaustablo wealth In the mountains, such as the precious metals, copper, lead, coat , etc. ; with Its tremendous water power and Its attractiveness It cannot help but be the place between St. Paul and Tacoma In the course of a few year. A few miles to the northeast are what 1 known as the Black Eagle and Rainbow Falls. They are pretty sights and deserve to be visited by sight seers and travelers. Near by Black Eagle Falls 1 what I known as the Giant Spring. This Is a wondrous freak of nature. The volume of water that belches forth at the side of the riyer 1 as great as that which make up the Lehigh. It Is no exaggeration to tay that moro than 2000 miles from Its mouth, the Mis souri Is a larger stream than the Mlsslsslpl Is at St. Paul, hence the .Missouri should be the father of water and not the other. The altitude ot Great Fall la 3,100 feet above sea level; the atmosphere la dry, pleasant and Invigorating, and makes one feel like Charley Lenta In one of his spread-oagle speeches flap his wings and Inhale the futurity of life. During the months of December, Januaiy and Feb ruary the thermometer In this latitude has been known to register a week at a time forty degrees above zero. These assurances are from old time residents and we have no reason to doubt them, for duriug our stay we could readily have walked the streets without an overcoat and not been affected as much by tho cold a we were when we left good old Carbon county. There is a grave misapprehension as to the atmos pherlcal condition ot this country amongst those who have no knowledge as regards It. It Is exblllratlng, and let our assurances be accepted, that the anticipation of friends, that yours truly, getting Into this country would freeze to death or be a moy lug Iceberg, compelled to exercise his vis' Ion through a badge of Ice, has not beer fulfilled. True as gospel, no such crystal Izatlon, as yet, has overtaken him. Another misapprehension, created by romancing newspaper writers, that is very unjust, Is the erroneous Impression as re gards these people. No man, as the gen oral supposition is amongst the generality of eastern people, as a matter of self de fense, needs come Into tbelr midst with Colt's revolvers In every pocket about the person or bowle knives of Jack-and-kill order up bis coat sleeves. None of these things wo found necessary to our wcll being, and we assert without fear of con- radlctlon that as a whole, we found them - . lever, frank and sociable people; kind ' 1 generous In their treatment of a fel Ion aud as Intelligent and refined as any be found In the effete east. Ife are under special obligations while here to Mi. Frank Coombs, a former Wilkes Barrean, who Is all soul nnd the essence of good fellowship; Hon. Jeremiah Collins for bis gentlemanly courtesy, and to G. C. Mason for the magnanimity ac corded whilst bis guest. We will soon be at the gates of the mountains and then for the celestial sights of the canyon for the next. Good bye, F. L. R. BROADBRIM'S H. Y. LETTER. Thr New Year should open auspiciously; wo don't care for cold ; Ice and snow would not be unwelcome visitors. The frost upon the window pane and the music of the sleigh bells are the adornment of this boll- day. But while I write a heavy calamity weighs down all the land and Broadbrim has not escaped, the fever burns me up, and an oppressive cloudiness of the brain makes It almost Impossible to write. haye tried to battle against It, but It seems as If the will power fall and there Is noth Ing to do but give up and lie down till the crisis passes or ends. But It Is New Years, and as there has been no failure In the Broadbrim letter for a decade, I feel that I must go on. Sadly enough I sit among the ruins of Christmas. From my windo n I look out on what was once my garden and there tossed in one corner Is all that remains of the Christmas tree, around which were gathered a score of happy children less than a week ago. How gay It looked with Its festoons of glittering ttreamers.lts beau tlful colored pendants and balls, and what treasures hung bidden among Its branches for all good Utile boys and girls. All gone now. The tree Is cast aside like an old shoe, and the toys, where are they? Mabel's beautiful doll has loss an eye and she Is not lovely to look upon. Tommy tried to explore the Innermost recesses of his kal eldescope to see what made those wonder ful figures; a few little specs of glass tumbled out upon the floor and the fairy vision had vanished forever, Here Is a camera that cost five dollar all smashed to pieces, and a printing press on which he was going to print all bis New Year's vis iting cards, covered all over with Ink and useless. Ah, mel Ah, me I perhaps It wou't belong before we areas useless as that printing pressl Bat what's the use of mourning over what can't be helped? Let It go and drift on, drift on. Tbe sugar trust of which I spoke a week or two ago, has been having a lively shak ing up, aud as usual it was the lambs who were bind. It Is not long since that sugar certificates sold at 120. Tbe heavy holders In the trust unloaded at that, and now they expect to get them all back at 60. Just think of it. A man unloads 1000 .bares In morning and pockets $75,000 clear by the ' i -inaction. No wonder these speculators nk themselves smart and all the rest of ... world fools. A few weeks ago James Keeno was the strongest bull on tbe market for sugar certificates. He gave bis bosom friends tbe tip "Buy 'em, me bov; buy 'em. We'ye got tbe market: we make all tbe sugar that Is made In tbe United States; we've got all the plants, they can't get a pound unless they buy from us. There's millions In it; millions iu III" Tbe pros pect of enormous dividends, fleeced by that robber band from tbe poor people, un locked many a strong box. and now they are mourning as Rachel mourned for her children, and refuse to be comforted be cause their ducat are not. In the sugar deal somebody ha lost a good deal of money. It Is quite astonishing how an old polit ical fight has developed which bodes 111 to all tbe parties conceroed. It ha been an open secret for the past three year that tbe relations between Governor David o. Hill and ex-President Cleveland baye beea on tbe north side of friendly, Tbe fact tbattbe Governor got 12,000 votes more than tbe President In tbs last Presidential election was, to put It In tbe mildest four, a little remarkable, since In the flgbt the Governor wa triumphantly elected while tbe President, who considered his election sure, got badly left. Governor Hill thought when ha bad glyen tbe Democracy a math ematical demonstration of who wa the monger of is two, UuA Uai would satU Mr. Cleveland' chance as a possible can didate for the Presidency before tbe next National Convention. Instead of which he find that the ex-President Is neither dead nor sleeping, and Is not only looming up as a candidate, but as the only possible candidate who can assure a Democratic success. Now the Governor 'does not think so, but the Albany Argut does, and tbe Albany Argut from away back has been the recognized Court Journal which kept the public Informed of the doings of the Albany nobility, and enjoyed a nice little ptum for advertising and perquisites of t0,000 a year. Now Governor David B. Is not the man to put a sandbag In any body's hands, especially If he thinks it Is going to bo used on himself; If there are any sandbags around, the Governor gen erally expects to do the clubbing, and that I precisely what he proposes to do In tbe present case, not that the Governor had anything to do directly Tlth tbe transfer of the official plums from the Argut to the Timet, but be had watchful friends among the powers that bo, looking out for bis in terest, so the Timet got the prize and tbe Argut lost, and now all tbe general public has got to do Is to quietly await develop ments. No matter where you gS every body has something to say about tbe fight, and In New York and Brooklyn Democrats are rapidly taking sides, but that able and wily commander Dick Croker, tbe Thun derer of Tammany Hall, sajs: "Hands off, gentlemen, hands off; both ex-PresIdeni Cleveland and Governor Hill are m friends, and I haven't a word to say." Somebody is going to get hurt, and mam with whom I have spoken, who were the Governor's warm friends, tblnk that in making the change or allowing it to be done he has made a grave mistake. He may possibly succeed In defeating Mr. Cleveland' renominatlon, but the ex- Presldent has many warm friends In New York who are not good at forgetting, and every one of tbcm will be found on deck when the day comes for striking a trial balance on tbe political ledger. January second, another great ball of the elite, who for tbe occasion have let down the bars and 1200 invitations were Issued. It I not exclusively a New York affair like tbe Patriarch's ball given at Delmonico'sa little oyer a week ago. Many of the guests are from Washington, Baltimore, Boston and other cities, and among the rosebuds who are to lend beauty to tbe occasion 1 notice tbe name of Miss Letter, of Chi cago, the daughter of Mr. Letter, of tbe great dry goods firm of Field, Letter dfc Co.; and while we will hardly admit that Chi cago Is a respectable rlvat for the Wor d's Fair, we freely admit that she has ber share of pretty girls, and If she will only send them on to our society balls we will cheerfully exhibit them on all proper occa slon. But while the company brings In nearly four hundred from other cities, New York pays all the bills, Mr. McAllister being furnished with fifteen thousand dol lars cash In hand, and the privilege ot drawing as much more as Is necessary. Klundet's bill for flower wa two thous and, wines especially belected by JcAllls ter two thousand more, supper five tbous aud, and it was so arranged that the entire twelve hundred sat down at once. Tbey were placed at two hundred tables holding six each. Each table bad two waiters, and so admirable were the arrangements all the guests were served without tbe slightest confusion. Tbe .Metropolitan Opera House was floored over for tbe occasion, and an one who remembers tbe disgraceful scenes at the Centennial dinner can well Imagine the glow ot just pride which lit up Mr. McAllister's face as be surveyed his own triumph, and remembered the dlscomfituie ot his enemies. Plymouth church is having a lively sen satlon In tbe approaching Installation if Dr. Abbott, Afr. Beecher's life-long friend and successor. There is no falling off in the attendance at Plymouth church. Every pew Is rented at a large premium, and the church is in as flourishing a condition as it ever was In Mr Beecher's time. By the way, speaking of Mr. Beecber, there Is con slderable dissatisfaction expressed with the model of tbe statue of Afr. Beecher now being prepared by the celebrated sculptor. Ward. It Is said that tbe family do not like It, and that the committee having tbe matter In charge are delighted with it. It has no gone too far to make any alter atlona The entire cost will not be far from $40,000. A new light broke in upon Brooklyn a little over a year ago In tbe person of Dr. Meredith, formerly of Boston. Dr. Mere dith came to Brooklyn with a most excel lent reputation as a pulpit orator, but though one of tbe ablest preachers in the city of churches to-day, his preaching Is but a small portion of bis merit. He baa mads himself beloved by tbe voung and old ot bis cburcb, and bis Bible classes held every Sunday afternoon are considered as the most Instructive and popnlai church entertainments given in tbe city. For his torical research and thorough knowledge of tbe Bible, with tbe habits, manners, ctts toms and domestic Institutions there spoken of. nothing has been seen here like It. Though In Brooklyn only a little ovei a year he has already built up one oe tbe largest and most influential congregations in the city, and judging from tbe rapid manner in which be has progressed it will not be long till he has a national repu tatlon. And now that we are falrfy launched on tbe New Year, we can look back on the track oyer which we haye passed and spec ulate on tbe chances that lie between us and January first, 1691. 1889 was not a common year. Fire, flood and cyclone have left ruin and disaster in their tracks as if there bad been a conspiracy In the e'e- ments for man's destruction, The recent disaster to tbe bouse of Braganza in Brazil terminates most sadly In the death of the empress, whose life was all of good; a life which ends In storm and darkness and tears. For tbe aged mourner she leaves behind bowed down with grief, we of tbe United States bav nothing but kindly remembrances, and we can only hope that the new Republic which banished him may have as gentle and as just a government for the next fifty years ashs has given In tbs half century just past. But with all the disaster by sea and by land, the ravages of flood and tempest, financial failures, plots at home and abroad, and disease which sweep the land like a consuming fire, our beloyed Republic has made steady progress upward and onward, a progress unexampled In tbe history ot nations. Four new commonwealths hare been born Into the sisterhood of States, and It will not be long tilt there will be no spot of land marked Territory on tbe map tbat de fine our country. Nowhere on (he globe are sixty million of people Hying la such security and peace; for this and our abup dam harvests, which assure plenty to tbe homes of tbe poor, God be thanked, and to his merciful guidance w trust tbe year now opening, never doubtlug tbat In tbe future, a la we past ail win oe wen trim us.
