Last week men from the mountains report
I'd chinook. 1t took it just two days to ge
into the valley after being announced ~ or
the hills round about 1t has come and ap
parently leone to stay"
A meeting of the shareholders of the Con.
solidated Minnie Palmer Mining Company
will be held at New Chicago on April LIST,
1891. for the purpose of electing officers and
transacting other business.
The Flag of the free hearts hope and
home" was flung to the breeze Court adjourn
ed and other similar marks of respect paid to
the memory of the man for whom q nation al
holiday has been declared.
We direct attention to the advertisement of
Joseph Mcdonald. our new furniture dealer.
His goods are new, neat, nice and nobby.
When desiring anything in his line he will
be pleased to show you his stock.
81. c. b." Butte, wants to know the date
on which the first steamboat assembled the
Missouri River ~ far up a. Benton. We can
not answer the question. Perhaps Mr.. Healy
of the Record will be able to give us the de-
sired information.
We published without credit an article from
the Riper Press relative to the reported mar
riage OF Miss Sue II. Clagett. Our omission
of credit was an oversight, and remained un-
noticed until found credited TO us in our con-
temporaries Of Madison and Gallatin coun-
ties.
An eastern telegram reports corner on
certain kinds of provisions. 1t does not ma
terially effect the home market. The neces-
stiles mentioned, fortunately for Montana, are
produced here. The market in Montana II
simply strengthened by "corner" down east
nothing more.
Amphibious animals of all kinds are not
thought to live in climate so extremely
cold, but the recent chinook has demonstra-
sion around Deer Lodge No expedition has
~ yet set forth with the purpose in view of
DISCRIMINATING the "crop."
For officers in the new county of Silver
Bow there are mentioned for Sheriff, A. C.
Witter, Frank Beck for clerk and Recorder
Sylvan Hughes, Jack Eddy and Con Murphy.
Lou p. Smith, the present Sheriff of Deer
Lodge county, is also prominently spoken Of
in connection with sherifialty.
1t would be an act of kindness to readers to
cripple some Montana poets in = way that
would prevent their illusions on all possible
or probable occasions. 1t IL sad enough for
families to be afflicted other ways without
having rendered the m some Of the execrable
poems" which occasionally appear.
We look with favor On the plan proposed
for building road from Philipsburg to Deer
Lodge, a. advocated by our correspondent
from that place. 1t would shorten the dis
lance materially between this place and Phil
ipsburg. No serious obstacles will be pres
ented to the viewers. The timber to be cut
would be the only trouble.
In last wee ks paper Mr.. Phil +. Evans adj
vertised for sale his horse Chief Junior, and
three fine, full bred Scotch shepherd dogs
On Wednesday Of this week he told our re-
porter that his horse could have been sold
had he not regretted placing him at so low
figure, and that he was now negotiating his
sale, and furthermore remarked that two Of
the three dogs had been sold.

Mr.. II. Boisvert laments the loss OF guam
tity OF the beverage which cheers, makes hap
py and intoxicates. During his absence one
night last week some one entered his cellar,

the odor Of the liquor, entered the cellar and
discovered his loss.
