The RIVER PRESS had the pleasure of q
call yesterday from Mr. Henry Klein, of
Helena, member of the %enterprising firm of
Cans & Klein of Montana at large. Mr..

It has been Q serious blow to our town and
the RIVER PRESS voices the sentiment of all
in hoping that it may soon be revived and
carried out to completion.
