MIGHTY WATERS HARNESSED FOR HUMAN USES. Wonder-til Resources of a New Keglon Vast Industries Springing Cp tlow the Missouri's Swift Current Is Utilised Young and Promising City. Marvels of Montana. Groat Falls, Mnnt., correspondence: It Was not until tho return of Lewis Ind t'lnrko from tlicii- remarkable Journey, covering t wo and a half years, 10 tho Pacific const, in the first years 9f the century, thut any definite knowlfdffe was obtained of tho Kails of ihe Missouri. The intrepid explorers upent many months rowing and poling their heavy batteaux against, tho swift current of tho muddy river, which le:ame dearer as they left the bluff deposits of the prairies and plains and nearcd ihe falls, above which tho water is as flean and pure as its sources of supply In mountain springs and snow. We tvish our space would jxrmit reprinting the long but graphic descriptions given if this wonderful series of falls, in iVmerica"s greatest river, around which Ihe exploring party spent nearly a taonth. From the highest point of land, JoO feet above Itlack Knglo Fall, on tvhlch now stards a smokestack 200 feet high, as prominent an object a- the Vashinglon monument, the top as high tbove the furnaces as that noble shaft, Lewis and Clarke looked for the first time over the site of t he present city, but then temporarily occupied by a herd of buffalo?, and later, in an enCounter with a wounded one. Lewis iras chased into tho water oppcslte the town, where Ihe river is 2,800 fct wide, and compelled to swini to the Other shore. V new edition of "The History of the Explorations of Lewis and t Uarke" has just been issued under tho direction of Prof. Elliott Coues, of the Smithsonian tn6titutior. It is a recital of a most important event in our history, and broaglit down to date by numerous foot notes. It is dedicated as follows: To the People of tbe Oreat West: Jefferson rave you the country. Lewis 'and Clarke (bowed you the way. The rest is your own eonrse of empire. Honor tbe statesman who foresaw your West. Honor the brave men who ftret saw your West. May the memory of their riorums achievement be your precious heritage! Aooept from my heart the undying record of tbe beginning of all your greatness. K. C. According to Eastern ideas of calculation, this is a very young city, but undeniably it is one of the most promising in the West, and is bearing out tne predictions 01 t lie explorers, mat an important industrial city wculd spring up here. The first, settler. Hon. Paris Gibson-, an honored and stil l active citizen of the sturdy young giant with over liyxto population, and as enthusiastic over the future as ever, with much now to back up his opinions and prophecies, broke ground for the first house about ten years ago. Its growth was slow until the first railway, the Great Northern, reached there four years later. Now railroads reach out in various directions. The reader will naturally inquire what there is in the Northwest to make great States and cities. Is not this country in the American desert the school books used to tell about? Yes. but the desert has since been cha:ed hither and thither, until it is now located in spots among the lava beds and high ranges of the far Southwest, and what there is of it eontait s borax, salt, and resources of value to man, and there is no Mich thing as the "Great American Desert." What made the older States of this Union wealthy? Pino forests, iron ore and copper mines supplied the raw material upon which Northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota was Built. Coal, iron and oil made Pennsylvania ereat. Corn and hoss brought riches to Iowa and Illinois. An extract of corn and rye distinguishes Kentccky. Wheat ha given prominence to Minnesota and t he Dakotas, and so on through the iist. Montana is a new Mate, and but lit tle known, except as a grazing region and producer of precious metals. Stock shipments last year exceeded !i.n:0,e00 worth. Herds of cattle and flocks of sheep are brought into this State from the country south as far as Texas, ti fatten on the ranges for KaHern markets. All the conditions here, crass, water and climate, are conducive to the highest development of physical life. The State produces norses ot laree inntr power ana endur ance, much sought after by the War Uepartment lor cavalry purposes. Budd Doble feeds his horses on Mon tana hay and oats. It was too far west, so stockmen said, U raise wheat, but a roller flouring mill with :00 barrels daily capacity, located here, is making high-grade flour from native wheat, and this immediate locality supports two agricultural papers. Those wno nave not lieen est nave little idea of the possibilities and elbow room of a State like Montana, a region larger than all of New England, and then with country enough left over to include several of the Middle States. Standing bv the tall smoke stack of the copper smelter, we looked down on the mighty river, with its rapids and cataracts, and saw waters fall with nuick defcent, furnishing power to turn wheels to crush ores, to generate electricity, to grind flour, to make hot fires hotter, and agreed with the builder of the marvelous wheel at the World's Fair, that where there was Buch enormous water power an industrial city must arise. The monthly pay-roll "now exceeds $160,(00 for labor, and is to be largely increased. The electrical energy possible at this point is heyono reasonable camprehension. It is already used in multiform ways: To red no metals, to run machinery and street cars, to cook food, and for heating purposes. j rive range (it mountains arc in 1 sight, clothed with forests and veined j with precious motals and iron, and ral- j levs netween seamed wttn neon 01 coal. Fertile lands slope back to grassy j plains, where ulowmen and stock rais-1 ers are already busy. Ail these potent t and varied resources are within bound- j aries that make them tributary to a comnnn center, and that location is ono of destinv. for men f ee these natural I forces, and are boginning to utilize them. With all these things, there is indefinable hopefulness and keen alertness in the air; every breath one draws is a pleasure, making it indeed a land 1 worth living in. In this energetic climate so condu cive to longevity, a few of the early lur traders still linger, vye remember meeting a year ago "old Hugh Monroe, who spent ninety years in tne iNortnwosl, dying a few months ago at the age of in years, and old man Handout, who lives forty miles east of here, is in his hundredth year, coining to what is Montana in lfelft, then as unknown a region as Africa, The country and conditions give men an opportunity to display their abilities. Robert Williams, modest and quiet, is better known iu tcientifle circles in the East and tho old world as an ornithologist and botanist than ho is as a citizen of this city, Ilis collection of birds is largo nrd vficn nnrl fif crrasses alone he has more than eighty kinds, with flowers, j ferns, etc., 111 large numbers. 1'rof. (. C. Mortson has catalogued owr .MO different kinds of metals, minerals, t ros, rocks, etc., found in this region. In company with Prot. aiuif-ron, wo today visited1 tho chief copper smelter, and saw the brown metal by car loads and learned that, bv tho electrical process used in refining over 200,000 ounces of silver are extracted monthly from the copper output. Nino hundred men uro employed, and with the proposed wire and slice t copper mills completed, the force will be largely increased. Along the double banks of the river

for eight miles, the water everywhere can be harnessed to wheels and turned to human use. With millions of pounds of wool marketed here every yoar, it is only reasonable to assume that this will become the site of woolen mills, as it has of silver and copper smelters.. With iron ore and coal, it is natural to think that furnaces, foundries and rolling mills will spring up in close association with the raw material. The descending rade from the gold, silver, copper and iron mines to this point, must perforce of circumstances concentrate the smelting Interests of a vast region along this avnilublo series of falls. Our space will not permit us at this time to say more about this Interesting nnd resourceful retrion, and we must eleso with n brief reference to the retent discoveries mudo by Prof. Scott and a party of Princeton College students. They found in the Smith River Valley, south of here, whole skeletons of the camel, rhinoceros, nnd other tropical aniinuls,coinprislng in all fortytwo species and twenty two genera. Several specimens of the throe-toed horse were found. The remains are petrified, lying in indurated clays and protruding frcm the banks or sides of the valleys or coulees. Tho Arrow Creek Hud Lands, at the fcot rf the Highwood Mountains, east of Ureal Falls, is another interesting section, full of wonderful formal ions and aboundinr in fossil shells and remains of sea lizards and ancient reptile life. It is a fantastic region, with deep cou'eos and rocks twisted and bent, into odd and fanciful shapes. A lofty cliff exists in this same locality, well filled with petrified fishes. The Little Kockies and Eear Paw Mountains are also rich in fossil remains. This city is tho natural outfitting point for scientific, geological, sketching, exploring, hunting and fishing parties. We are under obligations to the energetic secretary of the Board of Trade for printed matter and persona' attention, and prompt consideration will be given to all inquiries. J, U. Jones. BELIEVE IN THE " EVIL EYE." A Trial for Witchcraft In a Modern Town nf Salem, The town of Salem, Ohio, was the scene recently of an extraordinary trial, which carries one's thoughts back to tho Massachusetts town of tho same name that hanged witches in the seventeenth century. Salem has a pretty

little Metnoaisi Church, at which farmers worsh ip. For t he past two years several families attending the church have been possessed with tho idea that they are bewitched. Last s.u m m e r Howard Hughes, a well -known tri stee crLr farmer, dug a (of tho Kvil Eyei. won 0I1 his place, but after digging to what he considered a sufficient depth failed to strike water. Hcwa' nonplused for the moment, but, having a half belief in witches, came xo tho conclusion that his well was bewitched. He went to Alliance to consult with a lcclor Hoff, a septuagenarian, who claims to be a witch doctor. Iloflf went back with Huurhes, and descending into the well built a fire, and throwing several powders into the blaze went through a powwow performance. On coming to tho surface Ir. Hoff told Hughes that William Culp, a trustee of their church and the wealthiest farmer in the neighborhood, was causing all the trouble with his evil eve and that the well would remain d'rv until after Culp's death. Hughes told the Breen and Iop families, who also had a weakness for witches, that Culp was the wizard who was bringing all the l ad luck on them. From time to time the deluded people kept clear of Culp, but denounced him as an evil roan to all who would listen to them. A month ago some cattle belonging to Norman Breen took sick and died and then a relativoof Hughesfell and broke his leg. Culp was blamed for all this and the families have been very active in denouncing him as a wizard and dangerous person and advised their friends to keep away from him. Their belief became so annoying to the pastor of the little church that he concluded to have the superstitious onos expellod and, preferring charges of witchcraft and defamation against them, he organized a church trial, which took place, the presiding elder of the district acting as judge. The trial occupied the whole day and, as a result, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Breen and Howard Hughes were expelled from the fold. fathe!Tofthe income tax. What Congressman Hall gays In Regard to His Bill. Of all the men in Congress none nrohahlv have a clearer view of the income tax proposition than Represen tative Han, 01 Missouri.

This estimate placed the number at 12,000. See the immense income that would be derived from this source.

This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced Into this country by tho proprietors and manufacturers of tho Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value ns a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to tho knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved, the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and disoases of the general nervous system.

No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonio as a builder and strengthener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in tho treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching tho critical period known as change in lift, should not-fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for tho space of two or three year3. It will carsy them safely over the danger.

able to compare with tho Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its efl'ects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine tenths of all the ailments to which the human

family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges

tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in Ihe blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the

result. Starved nerves, like starved

right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As tho nervous system must supply all

the power by which the vital forces
