Special Correspondence Neac North Vest
just at present speculation is rife as to
whether or not the U. s. n. will have its line
completed to Bu..e this year Well informed
gentlemen say that without doubt by Decem-
Der 10th next the track wilt be laid, trains
running and the terminus of the road located
in the valley just below town; othess are
equally confident that 1t will be next summer
before the road is built up the creek so far as
the city limits. Your correspondent in
clines to believe with the first mentioned
that the road will be built without delay, and
that Silver Bow Junction will remain the
terminus but n short period. Track-layers
and graders have demanded an Increase of
wages, and not without reason. 1t is GER
tainly unpleasant, undesirable and unhealthy
to work out doors such weather as that had
for the past ten days. Their " requests We're
telegraphed to the Il. r. authorities at Omaha
and rumor has it that they have been granted.
The question Of most importance TO the folks
here, next to the coming of the road, Is
where the depot will be located. "Some-
where between the Colorado Smelter and
Meaderville," is said 10 be the place. As This
covers an area of several thousand acres, 1t
will readily be perceived that the location is
shrouded in deiai.eness.2
Building received setious setback by the
storms and is just again being commenced
with earnestuess. The roof is being put on
the Caplice building, "a lease of which has been
| taken by the county. and the next term of
| court will be held at the Court House" on
NJ ntt..a hafrn tn ar-
tain promi neuce it would have been wise for
| purchase to have been made on which
county buildings could have been erected.
| As it now is the county is required to pay
| large renal for the use of buildings suitable
| for county offices. And the Offices at present
| are widely scattered. The Treasurer and
| Clerk and Recorder are on Quartz street;
Probate Judge and Public Administrator on
| Broadway; Sheriff on PAX street, and al
| though we don't believe the Assessor has an
| Office, he Is not had TO fiud, but Is hard
| man to get away from. No one is to blame
| for the present state of adaiTs, and a cou5re-
CATION of county Offices into rooms in the
Caplice buildiog may be looked for as soon
az the structure can be completed. 1t may
possibly be necessary TO Introduce the Off
cials to each other afte- so long sepa' ation.
| An excellent place for a Cou.r House
would have been in the square occupied by
the public school bd;tdiae. 1t was found nee
essary, TO accommodate The incj eaSed num-
| Der of pupils, 10 en'arge The building. Before
doing this the ground aud buildings were of
fered foo sale, aud $4,000 or s1S,eo0 would
have made the purchase. We op ne that this
coanGy would have found 1t cheaper in the
| end to have made ,his pu. chase.
Our friend Hart7 Gasse,S was the victim
of robbery in Metose on Inc n;gat OF the
| 10th. He had in his possession al the time
something over one thousaud dollars in
money and about eighseea huadrod dollafs
| in checks. He does not know the time he
was robbed, but does low .aat his purse
was take1, aud vita il some valuable trash.
| One WIN. Kirby has beed arcested as the
| probable pafloiner, and il TO be Investigated
by the Grand jury. No drect evidence is
/ against him, IL is said. 1t j. further said that
some of the bill, were marked and that Kirby
was detected in getting one changed. Kirby
| does not look like a man that would steal,
bot
"a man may rent pew in church
| AnI bre..,t a di.moad pin;
He may have ~ ba saud family cares,
And still be cdunk OF sip."
