continuance of the "blasted thing" so long.
1t is beginning to interfere seriously with the
farmers and spell of good weather would
be accepted now with thanks.

An item has been going the rounds that
the James brothers and dozen members of
QuantrelIs band were at Yam Hill, near
Deer Lodge, some years age. Inquiry
from those who would most probably know
does not confirm the report. One young fell
low, who had been with Quantrell's band,
was there one summer, but he was not one
of the James brothers.
Among the damages of the gale Wednes-
day was the demolition of Kennon & Zenor's
large new sign and The bodily twisting Of
John.O'NeilI's log warehouse a foot or two

his little foot wife sailed swiftly away.

know of a more pNoDising investment for a
practical miller. The letter has been re-
| ferred to Mr.. Phil. f. Evans to answer and
we hope to see the project consummated.
In anticipation of having some tough GUS
toners to handle ibis summer and not desir-
| ing to spend so much time, muscle and EN-
| treaty az has heretofore been occasionally
necessary in escorting a "drunk and disor-
| derby" TO the brick symposium in rear Of the
Court House, the SheritfTs Office has just sup
| piled itself with the most approved style of
| ssnippers" and ''twisters," aesthetic in design,
artistic in finish and altogether symphony

Mr.. G. NJ. Youugs, representing the Ge-
| neva IN. W Nurseries, arrived Friday with
| the trees ordered for Deer Lodge. They
came i'm excellent condition and are the best
| in size The firm has yet delivered here. The

Silver Bow by the difficulty, OF rather i'm
| ia. & t,ap futt Thay
| will be delivered, however, as speedily as
| possible. Had we of Deer Lodge planted
| Geneva trees last year Instead OF the year
previous we believe nearly all would have
| grown as IL evidenced by the few that were
| planted in 1881.

Two expert marble cutters arrived here
from Canada this week and will probably en-
gage in their business here. They have tried
the Dempsey Creek marble-pronoanced by
experienced marble men the finest in Amer.
ica-and find it works well They expect &c
90 to-day or tomorrow with Mr.. e. III. Irvine
to the quarry, and will probably cut his Key
stones and sprirgers for window and door
arches from marble. This makes splendid
finish, and as the quarry is open, easy of ac
cess and work and appears inexhanstible In
extent, these mechanics are likely to estab

builders of good houses to finish the exteri
