SINCE the passage of the act legalizing
the appointment of officers and the organ
ization of Custer county, the Supreme court,
which was in session at Helena last week,
made provision for holding q term of the
district court at Miles City, the county seat.
This move will materially relieve that coun-
ty, as otherwise litigants would have been
compelled to go to Bozeman, three hundred
miles distant.
CUSTER county may now be considered to
be on a fair road to prosperity. Though it
only cast about three hundred votes at the
last election, we learn that there are fully
eight hundred voters in the county. The
stock-growing and agricultural interests are
pre-eminent in that county Already the
tax revenue is considerable, and must in
crease three-fold the present year. A court
house will probably be built at Miles City
this year.
Mr.. PAUL MCCORMICK, well known to
many OF our Smith river folks. has been
granted the privileges OF the floor in both
houses Of the Legislature, as a representa-
tive from Custer county. MIR. Mccormick
has been q resident of that county for sew
eral years. He is engaged in freighting and
merchandising, making his home at Miles
City.
Mr.. VIM Fl. WEIMAR, of Deer Lodge, Is
at Brewers Hot Springs, Madison county.
-New North Vest.
There is a little errer in this item. En- the
first place, Brewers Lot Springs are not In
Madison county, andir the next place, there
is no such place as Brewers Hot Springs.
With these exceptions the item is correct.
There IS such a man as VIM. H.. Weimar,
and he lives in Deer Lodge.
THERE is an urgent necessity for a road
across the range in the vicinity of Deep
creek, coming. down onSmith river valley
somewhere near Cook Bros. ranch. Yhis
would open digeet communication between
Jefferson county and. the White Sulphur
springs, and I'M a short time become the
tho%roughfare for stock from California and
Idaho, and southern Montana moving to-
wards the Musselshell and Judith.

devoted to the interests denoted by the

neatly printed on fine toned paper, and
very ably edited. 1t is issued daily, tri-

broad views, and looks out to the great
plains of the far west and region of the
Rocky mountains as the great livestock
country OF America. We are pleased with
the initial number, May it have a long and
prosperous career. 1t is published at 49,.

The nalae Of Camp Baker has, by order
of Lieutenant General Sheridan, been
changed to Fort Logan. AS this it will ev-.
er be known tosthe army, but it will always
be Baker to the people of Meagher.. 1t iss
well to do honor to the brave ands gallant
Logan who gave his life tor his country on
the bloody field of the Big Hole, and we
shall ever honor his name and be glad to
see it commemorated. But it is to Col. Be-
ker that the people Of Meagher owe the
peace and security enjoyedst tic past eight
years. His prompt chastisement Of the
Bloods and Piegans on tllatmemorable win
ter night, December 1862, when the ther-
Iaometer.was Mp below zero, won for him
8 place in the hearts ofthis people, and they,
will, ever. dbohonar. to his names.
