| Grand Forks, D. T., and Duluth, Mimi,
will soon have daily papers When we first
visited the site of these places, in 1857, the
elk and buffalo at the first and the bear and
the moose at the other were their most nu-
merous inhabitants.
It is strangethata q prospecting county like
Choteau cannot afford more suitable place
to conine criminals than this dirty, lousy
hole now used. It has cost almost as
much to hire guard to watch the place as q
new and suitable building would.
We maintain that the fares exacted by the
Becord street cur company are shamefully
exoTbitant. Shall the masses allow this mo-
nopoly to grasp them by the throat and de-
mand every ten cents of their hard earned
wages? Never Down with this street car
monopoly
Large numbers Of people are coming into
the Territory, and stopping at present in
| Helena and Butte, most Of them here with

Of the common nwealth The present season
bodies good for Montana, in the wealth Of
muscle and capital that is coming.
| There was q rumor ahoat last night that
steamboat was making her way slowly Ben
tonWard, and was only little below the
Marlas. Parties coming in on the Assinna-
boine coach saw it, smoke-stacks and all.
The medium Of inspiration was probably the
juice of the yellow, tufted, waving corn.
The case of Thomas Lacy, indicted last
spring for setting fire on the Shonkin range,
| was tried on Friday last, and the jury re-
turned 9 verdict OF not guilty without leaving
the box. The case was evidently malicious
persecution from purely personal motives
The county has to pay the cost all the same.
From J. G. Bourassa we learn that his
partner, Mr.. Pichette, recently found gold
nugget weighing 800, at the head of Wafm
Spring Greek. Mr. Bourassa, who is thor
oughly familiar with that section, feels conf
dent that new and valuable placer mines will
be discovered This part Of Montana seems
to be pregnant with hidden treasures.
j. Al. Sawtelle, familiar to the Montana
theatre goers, has been having bad luck this
winter, reaching Bismarck from his Yellow
stone trip in an almost destitute condition,
He had not had a successful season, and
what he had left was destroyed in the first
break up in the Missouri. But the horoscope
is now more favorable, as, since reaching
Bismarck, and recognizing, he has been
playing to large houses.

Speaking Of temper, says the Hawkeye
sage, reminds US that hell has no fury COM
pared to Montana girls jealousy If
Bob. Burdette ever hoofs It into the River
City his opinion will be confirmed by actual
experiment. Robert is man Of small
physique, and If one our girls ever reaches
for him he'll imagine Hades has broke loose
or the earthquakes Of Chic are being repro
duced here for his especial benefit.
Ladies should always button or lace their
shoes before going out on the street. We
noticed fairy form come tripping lightly
down the street, day or two since, with an
elastic step, her hands encased in delicate
kids, bright and CHEEKY smile on her face,
q small package resting gracefully in her right
right arm and-a shoe-string the size of an
ordinary clothes-line, following carefully in
her train.
Some action should be taken at once to re-
move the rubbish and filth from the alleys
and vacant lots in town. During the extreme
hot weather, approaching, diseases are likely
10 be bred from just such an accumulation OF
nastiness that is visible almost everywhere.
Property owners owe 1t to themselves, their
1eighbors and the general public to prevent
what might prove q disastrous epidemic by
all such truck from their yards.
Mr.. Deletraz is making some very desirable
on his place in lower town.
His place has heretofore been used TO dump

moved this accumulation of filth, is planting
hade trees, and will open nice wide street,
