about
THE GARDEN CITY.
Higgins avenue has been graded and lev
elei up for nearly its entire length, and the
Front streeters talk of following suit. The
saloons and business houses have been thor
oughly renovated. Urlin & VOLTS new
building is rapidly approaching completion;
residences are being commenced, notably the
brick homestead Of George b. Hartman, of
the Riverside Garden. Rents are about the
same-but many houses are vacant, people
cannot stand the high tariff on the amount
of money they are making, consequently
rents must drop or tenements remain empty.
OPENING FOR DRUGGIST.
IL is rumored that Messrs. Henke & Moore
of the City Drug Store desire TO dispose of
their building and stock. If successful in
making a sale, Mr.. Moore will go east, while
DR. Henke will return to the south, probably
Tennessee. Here Is an opening for the right
man or men.
4 DOWNFALL.
Quite an. accident happened in the town
last week, whereby J. Soloman. our genial
siderable crashing of teeth and reasonable
amount of genuine western slope profanity
Mr.. Solomon's store on the corner of Main
and Higgins avenue, had been raised to the
level of the new grade, probably five feet,
and was held up only by blocks. The graders
unloading their wagons against the Avenue
side of the house, forced the blocks out, hence
the fall in dry goods Milton, believe,
makes few remarks anent "chaos." Had he
seen the interior of that store after the crash
he could have improved upon his description
plenty. Pickles and whiskey, calico and
canned goods, clothing and cigars, hats and
hominy, dress goods and dried fruits, shelly
ing, chimneys and statesmen, were mixed up
in a nc ost wonderful manner. Luckily no
persons were injured, but it entails quite
loss upon Mr.. Solomon, who was obliged to
remove his entire stock before the building
could be raised again and repaired.
ROBBERS BOOST.
The upper part of Smith Bros. new build
ing is being occupied by tine legal luminaries.
Our worthy Mayor, F. H. Woody, was the
first to get as near as he ever will, to heaven,
next our City Attorney had to be in the style
and get up stairs, and now the entire upper
story is filled with legal lore, and the boys
have yclept the place "Robbers Roost."
CROSSING THE TREsTLE.
Lost Friday, the 10Th, the first locomotive
of the Northern Pacific crossed the high tres
tie at Marents Gulch, bringing the end Of
the track within twelve miles Of Missoula.
Many persons from the Post and the city
were present and made the occasion one of
great rejoicing. Miss Minnie Freeman, one
of our most popular, accomplished and fas-
cinating village bellies, crossed on the engine
with the first train. 1t is generally believed
now that the road will reach here next Satur-
day night.
THE BAND VS.. MACARTY.
Missoula supports after fashion an insti-
tuition known as the Adelphi theatre, presid-
ed over by a man named Henry Macarty.
She also boasts of an organization known as
the Missoula Brass Band. The band boys
and Macarty have had a racket, and the
court was called upon to mediate, and sup
press the outpouring of much wrath and bad
English. 1t appears that the band, not hav-
many engagements, loaned their two drums
to Macarty, as a matter of accommodation;
while he had possession of the said instru-
ments the band was engaged to play for
circus here, and upon applying for their in
struments were met by a prompt and not very
courteous refusal. The boys, however, were
not to be beaten in that manner. So writ
of replevin was issued and by the aid of the
Sheriff the drums were recaptured, and now
the boys say they wouldn't loan an instru-
nient again to Bob Ingersoll or any other
man. Macarty, however, will not make
friends very quickly by an! such methods, we
can give HIM pointer on that.
Personal.
Messrs. A. q. Hammond and II. A. Eddy
returned last night from Portland, where
they have been for some time past presum-
ably on business connected with the Mon
tana Improvement Co.
Mr. Alex. Stewart, one of the cattle kings
of the upper Bitter Root Poverty Flat, was
down in the city last week, and after expend-
ing q iudicious amount of chin music, sold
his range and stock to Harding & Co, of this
place. The amount paid, was, we understand,
in the neighborhood of fifteen thousand dol
lars.
This morning we learn that ID. NJ. Learner,
Under-Sheriff, has been removed, and Sher-
if Berry has appointed Robert Lane to fill
the vacancy.
GOING BACK ON INCORPORATION.
BY the way, great many people, notably
saloon men, who were very anxious few
short weeks back to raise Missoula to the
dignity of an incorporated town, are now
bucking and kicking plenty. Before the in
corporation man could come in from saw
mill, tie camp, or grading station, get on a
hurrah, spend his money freely, and then go
back to work again, dropping his cash pre-
sumably where it would do the most good.
Now when he comes to town he has to walk
easy. One misstep and the argus-eyed guard
ians of public peace are supporting his un-
willing footsteps cooler-ward; when, after a
night Of penitence, he contributes his mite
to the city treasury, buys himself jug or
two, and HES away to some mountain fast.
ness'where his offering to Bacchus will not
be interfered with, swearing in the meantime
to never give the city authorities another
whack at him. This, you perceive, raises
merry hades with the retail dealer; hence
their tears.
