Deer Lodge desired and would have pur-
ceased the Butte Steam Fire Engine, sold
last week, but Helena had the refusal at
stated fgure and bought it.
Mr. L. Girard, of Warm Springs, contem-
plates opening puplic house as soon as the
cars run regularly to that point. There will
be no better kept house in Montana.
Owing to the heavy weather that set In OH
Sunday the Helena Fair was postponed until
Thursday. Helena seems peculiarly unfortu-
nate in the weather during Fair week.
Livingstone is to be the name of the new
town to be established at Benson's Landing
on the Yellowstone. Well informed persons
predict it will be the town of the Yellow
stone Valley.
The Fire Engine purchased by Helena
from Butte arrived here Tuesday evening

fre-box is SO close to the ground that it was
found impossible to haul the steamer over
the mountain roads since the storm.
Mr.. w. n. Baldwin, of A. j. Davidson &,

full of material, and the foreman of the shops
was expected to arrive last evening.
The time of arrival and departure of trains
from Silver Bow Junction and Warm Springs
as copied last week from the Int Mountain

regular hours of arrival and departure are
yet observed. The trains leave when they
get ready and return by the same schedule.
Mitchell & Mussigbrod are fitting up the
large editice south of the Warm Springs Ho-
tel for boarding guests, and it Will be elegant
indeed. The rooms are the largest and most
delightfully."- furnished that we have seen in
any hotel in Montana, and the parlor is spa
cious and attractive. 1t will be a favorite re-
sort.
A member of the NEW NORTHWEST corps
was awakened last Saturday night from his
peaceful SAUNDERS by strains of delightful
music that arose from beneath his window.
At least the strains came from the midst of q
bevy of charming young ladies and could not
be otherwise than sweet to an old bachelors
ears. Thanks, ladies.
The party of men resetting the telegraph
poles and stringing the wire between Helena

are laid the entire distance.

the knee about p. IN. on Tuesday by bank
cut" He was brought to town and placed in
st. Joseph's Hospital, where DIR. Mitchell

very handsomely for saloon and club rooms

ment in first class style and We believe pro-
poses to give it his personal attention.

rapidly as the Northern Pacific Railroad is
completed and prepared to do the service.
There has been considerable irresponsible
talk now and then in the past six months Of
the establishment of another newspaper in
Missoula. None of the projects so far have
been consumated, but it seems probable from
advices now that a new paper is to be started
there by a publisher from Denver on or
about October 10th. We have not learned the
name of the publisher.
Mr. l.. G. Larsen showed us few days
since quite number of Transcendant aud one
fine Standard apple grown and matured on
his farm near Deer Lodge. These trees were
bought of the Geneva Nurseries, set out and
no care given them, it being supposed they

matured forty-nine apples. Mr.. L. thinks he
NAV have an orchard yet.
