EDITOR New NORTH WEsT:-
l should have written you sooner but
thought Mssouls had been well represented
by the "Clover Leaves" and from other
sources. The town of Missoula has been
busy and quite lively for the last two weeks.
District Court met here on the 25th, and all
the cases on the calendar were disposed of,
with one exception.
FREE BRIDGE.
The County Commissioners met on the list,
Tyler Woodward having resigned, II. J..
Wordcn was appointed by Judge Baker, to.
fill the vacancy, and will make good and
efficient officer. The Board entered into
arrangements, by which the bridge over the
river at this place, has been received from
the contractors and thrown open to the pub
lie as county bridge, being the only free
bridge that / know Of in the Tcrritory.*
This will be pleasant news to our Fat Friend
from Deer Lodge, who contributed a"N'
to the bridge company when last down here.
The officers elected at the late election, ap-
pcarcd on Monday last and were duly IN
stalled.

day, late in the afternoon, Grccnbacks were
in demand, with a limited supply, all, or
nearly all, of them having found their way
into the County Treasury. Several parties
! found themselves short. and were left to the
tender mercy Of the Treasurer, and many
had to stand the raise on mary pair"
