\ COUNTY OF "KICK ERs."

The reason why there is little party en-.

d'dates. Democrats are kicking with the
energy of large.sized, long legged Govern.

THE PEOPLE THEIR OWN lsO<sEs.

Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore" That the people of Beaverheati
Countv->laking OFF the party voke-will
select their county officers ut the coming
election with reference to their character.
honesty and fitness for the positions, is a
toresonc conclusion. At the approaching
election the people will hi their own poli.
tic:l bosses, and the crack of the party whip
will not terrorizc the thinking and indie
pendent voter. The TRIBUNE, taking an
independent, non partisan view Of the poli.
teal situation in the county, is of opinion
that it would be Il wholesome thing, beue
fetal to the public welfare, ut this import
ant period in the history OF Reaverhead
County to give all ct the party bosses back
seats--seats So far back in the rear that
they will never come to the front again.
and thereby incu!cate the timely lesson that
the offices Of the county are not carried in
the pockets Of u few persons to be disposed
through the tricky trading accomplished at
machine county conventions. There new.
or was, and perhaps never will be, a more
suspicious time to impress the doctrine
that the people are their own political bosses
and the polls il the place to do the work.

IMPROVEMENTS IN DILLON.

Any person who thinks that Dillon has
experienced its era Of brightest prosperity,
and that there is a remote prospect Of de.
cline, can be speedily disabused Of this no.

finished. A few months ago when the
holocaust DESTROYED block Of the business
portion Of. our town, It left Dillon, tempo.
rarity In dilapidated condition, but the
fire only produced disastrous results for the
time being. The district that was laid
waste il now rebuilt with much handsomer
buildings than before the conAagration,
conspicuous among the number being the
fine brick store Of c. l.. Thomson which Is
nearly completed. The imposing brick
edifice Of L. c. Fyl,rie & co. and L. Eliel
commands the attention Of strangers and
IL the pride Of our town, and a. It Is receiv.
ing It's finishing touches the building pre-.
sents grand appearance. Dillon can now
boast Of the most elegant banking house,
for IFS size, in Montana. The new banking
house of Messrs. Sebree, Ferris s. White,
now occupied, is an elegant edifice, the in.
terror arrangement combining security, Gle.
gance and convenience. Many other new
buildings aud improvements going on in
Dillon plainly indicate a prosperous present
and promising future.
