The New NORTHWEST will commence,
next week, the publication of series of
articles on Life in London" giving sketches
of its notable, picturesque and peculiar
characteristics not frequently described by
correspondents and too old to attract atten-
ton of the city papers. These articles will
be written by resident journalist in London
especially for this paper and we believe will
prove interesting.
Yesterday was what is known in this
country as "a holy terror" The wind blew
in stormy gusts from point or two north of
east, and the thermometer was ten to twenty
degrees below zero. The Missoula stage did
not reach here until after / p. m. Charley
Watson started soon after with the Helena
coach, but was obliged to return before 60
ing mile, as the horses would not face the
storm and the drifts were chin high.
There should be some railroad construc-
ton soon in this valley. We have heard of
threes rail tracks," and combination I"
and "parallels" till the words no longer
thrill. What we want now is to see few
hundred "huskys" missing things with
plows and scrapers and profanity. If the
Utah s. Northern is not here by July 4th,
Deer Lodge propose to introduce a bill
FORGETTING the land grant of the company.
While we take some pride in the fact of
the large number of estray horses recovered
through advertisements inserted in the NEW
NORTH WEST, we have no desire to have
two owners for any one animal Such, how
ever was the case with the horse advertised
by Normandin Bros. However, one claim
ant having come from Helena, the Deer
Lodge man yielded gracefully and the man
from beyond the MulIan tunnel rode off on
on the beast.
A number of people Deer Lodge would
have been glad to number among its resi-
dents have been unable to obtain comfortable
residences here and have therefore gone to
the States and elsewhere. We trust that
with the extension of the railroad here there
will be built residences that will accomms-
date those who wish to reside here for school
purposes and through preference. There is
no better field for the permanent, secure and
profitable investment of money than in
building residences for rent in Deer Lodge.
