The Town Council, last Friday
night. passed an ordinance for grad
ing, curbing and macadamizing Con-
gress street, its entire length, at the
expense of the town, and requiring
property owners on both sides of the
street to put down brick sidewalks.
The ordinance means business, and
provides that where any party fails to
make his pavement when the grading
and curb-setting is done, the town
will do it and recover the cost at once
by levy and collection in the same
manner as taxes are collected. In
the improvement of this street, as
with all others heretofore, it is wisely
contemplated to align the curb on
either side from the centre of the
street, instead of the zigzag manner
heretofore in voge of taking certain
width from each particular property,
whether it was straight with the
street or not

monument In honor OF the brave son
of Germany, Henry Willard. Our
mother country is proud Of such a
son.
The Governors of Wisconsin, Min
nesota. Dakota, Montana, Oregon
and Washington made brief and ap-
propriate remarks. The Governor of
Idaho was absent on account of i'll
ness.
There were loud cries for General
Grant, and as he came forward the
air was rent with cheers. He made
a few suitable remarks. He was re-
minded by the speeches just made
of the fact that he had something to
do with this great enterprise. When
Governor Stephens, thirty years ago
organized his surveying expedition,
he was a lieutenant, acting as quar-
termaster and commissary on the
Columbia, and he issued the sup
plies for the expedition. Was he
not entitled to some of the credit
which Mr.. Billings had apportioned
to others He greatly pleased the
audience, in which were many vet
erans, who became perfectly wild
when he said these intefcolonial
railroads would have amounted to
little but for men who after the war
sought the territories as fields of en-
terprise. They made these railroads
possible and prosperous. At the
conclusion of General Grants speech
three rousing cheers were given. The
foreign guests were then given seats
on platform, when a photograph
was taken of them, Mr. Willard and
family, and the most distinguished
Americans. After that horse that
helped to build the road from its
inception was brought upon the
platform. Then was witnessed an
extraordinary spectacle. Three hun
dred brawny men quickly laid the
iron and drove the spikes on the
thousand feet of uncompleted track
except the last spike. During the
work, which was witnessed by the
foreigners with aBazement, the band
played and the people cheered.
When nearly completed a cannon
salute was fired. The last spike was
driven by H. c. Davis, assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the road, who
drove the first spike on the opening
of the road, and this spike was the
same one first driven by him. The
end was reached as the sun was set
ting behind the mountains.
The enthusiasm of The audience,
variously estimated at 3 600 to 5000,
was indescribable. Thus was brought
to a happy conclusion very remark
able event in American history. The
trains were reformed, in which the
guests departed. The English and
part of the Americans went to the
east, the rest westward to Puget
Sound.
The Associated Press secured q
special train, which conveyed their
representatives to Helena, where tel
egraphic facilities were obtained.
The ride was exciting, and was made
in very short time, Helena being
reached at 11:30 p. m, the run from
Last Spike station being made in
three hours, which is quick work,
considering the grades over Mullen
Pass.
