PROGKESS IN KIBBEY Frank Goss, who returned from the east Thursday, was in Minneapolis during the burning of the Tribune building and wager made between Mr. Roberts and the gentlemen who presented it.

Travelers Snmerou-Clorion Sunsets-Postal Reforms A Michigan Settlement More Horses Brought in. Special Correspondent of the Tribune. Kibbev, Dec. 6. 1889.

Forty miles and more from Great Falls, In the Upper Belt region a "pilgrim" asked one day lust week, "Is there as much travel on this, road every day as there has been todayf" The answer was "yes, if the weather is good, and often more." Coming from one of the far eastern states, and a thickly settled part of it, there is something quite surprising in the fact that here, scores of miles from any centres of civilization, in this new country scarcely out of its swaddling clothes, there is more travel on the road, more people stirring and more business being transacted than in any of the rural districts we have ever known beyond the Mississippi. Vehicles of all kinds, from the double decked, twelve horse-power "prairie schooner" to the stylish cosmopolitan turnouts of the best establishments of Great Falls are seen hurrying to and from the Cataract City, bearing the products of our late bountiful harvests in and the needed stores for the settlers out, or whirling the business man or some delighted tourist through the mountain valleys where the varied scenery is as changeful as the colors of a chameleon. MONTANA SUNSETS. Talk about Italian sunsets! we have their duplicates here every evening. We hav witnessed glorious sunsets from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast and never saw such grandeur of coloring, fading away in delicate blending of tints of indescribable beauty as we have witnessed right here among the Belt mountains.

Each sunrise too is a revelatiou of beauty. Let those who take their coffee and Tribune in bed at eight o'clock witness but one such and you will wonder that the earth is being new born and all the world not out to behold the miracle. SOME REFORMS NEEDED. Returning to local topics let me remark that the Kibbey article in last week's Tribune has caused wide-spread discussion. It is generally admitted to be a very truthful account of affairs and if reforms can be brought about by agitation and publication there is another postoffice on the route that merits public attention and a little private regeneration.

If Postmaster-general Wannamaker with his army of Sunday-school workers, and his national reputation as a philanthropist would enlarge his sphere of vision and action he might discover some broad fields for missionary labor outside of his Philadelphia workshops. If one stops to meditate, recalling the recent days of our last campaign and the daily offering of the philanthropic office seeker, it would puzzel one to explain why some benefl-cient power should not interest itself somewhat in the moral and spiritual welfare of those whom they loved so dearly but a few days ago. Now that the first became a benedict suouiu receive from the other three a fine Ret of chamber furniture. Mr. Roberts being the first to get married the other three took this pleasant plans of fulfilling their obligation.

As a memento of the occasion, the Tribune company presented Mr. Roberts and his wife a tine photograph of their new home. The party drunk to the health, prosperity and happiness of the host and hostess and then departed, each feeling that Mr. Roberts had made a wise choice and secured a most estimable helpmate.

THANKSGIVING DAT. Thanksgiving day passed almost wholly unobserved in this vicinity, with the ex ception of a dance at Kibbey. One good puritan soul sent a forlorn ranchman a pie for his Thanksgiving dinner and he wanted to know when Thanksgiving was.

Oyer in the Michigan colony they had a real old-fashioned Thanksgiving, and up on inquiry we find that within a radius of five miles there are not less than twelve ranches occupied by settlers from Michi sail.
