gagged in examining mines In this Terrific
ry, says that magnificent prospects ar
opened in all the districts he has visited.
The remaining shares Of stock in tn
Southern Montana Live Stock and Ayr
cultural Association should be taken with
out DELAY. 1t can not but prove payinI

ly interested.

and that there is not an American in the
escaped outfit.

the doubtful legality Of the proposed issue
Of new county bonds to provide for the
building of the new court house. Not
withstanding the temporary stoppage o.
work, the new court house of Silver Bow
county will be built. Whyl Because It Il
nesded. A court house will be built al
Dillon for the same reason, and its building
is only matter Of time.
The editor of our esteemed Deer Lodge
contemporary is not bore himself, but he
wants some one to bore an artesian we'll in
Montana. 1t is a capital idea. We ought
to have well-also, hundreds Of miles oil
irrigating bitches. When DeLesseps gets
through with his second Suez job the old
Frenchman might be induced to come to
Montana and build canals, commencing on
the Beaverhead Valley.
The Episcopal Church District in South.
ern Montana has been divided. Rev. E.

1t seems that the people have vet to
learn that in order to ride on freight train
on til. Utah and Northern Railway it is
necessary to apply to station agents to Sc.
cure tickets and get permits to ride on such
trains. Any conductor, under the rules
of the company, lays himself liable to be
discharged If he carries any one from one
station to another without permit from an
agent. No extra charge is made for issu.
ing permits.
The burning Of Green T. Walters steam
saw mill in the Axc-Van Camp canyon on
last Sunday evening, Is severe loss to the
firm. The fire consumed the mill and dc.
stroyed lumber estimated at $4,000 feet
The destruction Of the mill and lumber at
time when lumber is in active demand is
a serious drawback to the operations of the
firm, who will be compelled to put in a new
mill Immediately. The loss sustained was
over $1,000.
Ex-Governor Thos. A. Hendricks, Hon.

Hugh McQuaid, associate editor Of the
Helena Daily independent, has been gra-
cio..sly granted leave Of absence. II is
reported that he has gone to Europe where
he will kiss the toe OF the Pope, size up
with the Rothchilds and buy the crown Of
II second class kingdom. Hugh McQuaid's
case Is u peculiarly sad one. 1t shows that
when poor devil Of an editor becomes
suddenly rich It destroys his usefulness on
earth and units him for an angel above.
Not long since Mills, Of the North Nest,
gave the tenderfoot Of the Missoula z;mes
a skinning. The pilgrim Of the Times
who halls from the land Of Posey county
(lnjiany) horse thieves--did not like Mills
Notwithstanding Mills was mer.
ciful toward the awk ward blackguard who
Jared up against him. We have no use
for the hide Of the Times pilgrim, either raw
mr. dressed, and SO it is passed back to the
Missoula half breeds for n,astication. The
hide OF the tenderfoot might hold cold penn.
nican, but ii is useful for no other purpose.
