New School House.

The trustees of Willow Glen school dis
trict have had an excellent school building
erected this summer one mile south of J. r.
Eardley's store. 1t is a wooden structure,
2ix40 feet, covered with rustic siding, and
contains school room 30xo4 feet in size,
with fourteen foot ceiling, lighted by six
windows; two cloak rooms, and a vestibule
five feet square. The school room is VAIN
scoted to the height of four feet, and has a
blackboard four fleet wide all around the
room. Between the doors opening into the
cloak rooms is a platform for the teachers
desk, and the cloak rooms have also doors
between them and the vestibule. The work
is all frst-Class, and the building will cost,
when furnished with desks, about $1,000.
The trustees wish to procure the best school
furniture, and expect to raise funds for this
purpose by giving an entertainment IN the
building, to consist of dance, supper, etc ION

BESSIE LOUISE KING
And the Walter Moss Minstrels.

The above combination appeared Wednes-
day evening at O'Neill's theatre, under the
management of Mr.. Mcguire, to a large and
greatly delighted audience, The minstrel
company is quite large and has some very
good members, but the attraction of the COM
pany is, of course, Miss King. She has a
magnificent voice, and If anything it has
improved in the past year. We cannot con-
eeive why so good an artistic does the travel
ing minstrel business, But she does, and it
fortunately enables Montanians to hear bet
ter singing than Ii often heard outside Of the
opera. The entertainment throughoyt was
a very enjoyable one, some of the features
being comparatively new, and even the
'sketch," usually a successful attempt to
send everybody home from minstrel show
disguised, was In this case cork extrava-
ganza that wound up the evening with roars
of laughter. The Moss Minstrels 60 to Butte
and Dillon, and will give US an evening
again, with an entire change Of programme,
as they 20 to Helena to play during the Fair.
They can get good house in Deer Lodge
any time that the name of Bessie Louise
King is on the bills.

New Towns and Stations.

The completion of the Northern Pacific
railroad IS bringing some new points into the
business of the country, and it will take our
people some little time to accustom them
selves to the locations and names of the sta
tons, some of which are new and some
changed from former designations. We give
below few that we have been able TO ascer-
tain this week.
Turahis the first station this side of Mis-
soula
Wallace Is the second station this side of
Missoula.
Bear Mouths not changed from the old
name.
Drumn,ond was formerly Edwardsville,
opposite New Chicago.
Garrison is on the Gherdts ranch, mile or
two below Mouth of Little Blackfoot
------- is some twelve miles above
Mouth of Little Blackfoot, ut the old Butler
ranch, opposite the mouth of Ophir gulch,
and will be the Blackfoot City station.
RliiSton is about one mile this side of the
French woman's ranch. 1t will be the station
for double header engines to work over the
the main range, and will probably have re-
pair shops, where quite number of railroad
men will be located. s

that day over nine miles of track. Long be-
fore daylight the party from the west were at
work and at 40, when the eastern party
commenced, had II miles of track laid.
From that time track went down as 10 never
did before. The western party reached the
signal flag at the big pine tree opposite the
mouth Of Lower Warm Springs creek short
" after noon, and there had assembled the
thirty or forty guests who had come over
from Helena and walked ahead TO witness

west steamed up to the flag and sent forth its
stentorian challenge TO the east. but IL was
not until $50 p. m that the eastern tracklay-

SCHOOL MATTERS.
The New NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Employed,
Etc, Etc.

The delay in getting started in on the new
school house building has run so late into the
season that the trustees have deemed it best
not to attempt to complete the building this
year. 1t has therefore been determined to
lay the foundation only this season and have
the material on the ground ready for prompt
construction next spring This will not only
enable the lumber to be fully seasoned, but
furnishing winter work to mechanics in stone
cutting, carpentering, etc, will result in bet
ter contracts being made. The only contract
SO far let is for furnishing and cutting the
stone. This contract was taken by George
Cushing. IL includes $50 perch of rough
rock ; $50 feet of hammer-dressed work 204
feet cut stone water table Al stills IS steps
and u marble plaster caps The. building
will be 53xS1 feet. Rock is to be on the
ground ready for the masons by September
10Th, and will be laid to the water table this
season. 81.
At recent session the roll of teachers for
next winter was completed. There will be
five in all, viz: J. III. Meyers, Principal
Edwin Z. Kinney (rtcently teacher in the
Warm Springs and Lost Creek districtsl, in
charge Of Grammar Department; Mrs. G. n.

HENDERSON GuLcH, Aug i9.-Mining
business is still very active in the mountains
forming the western part of Deer Lodge Co.
Prospectors are all busy and others coming
In every week or so. DIR. Price S. Gaylord,
who first came to Montana in 1864, and went
back to the States in the fall of 1873, return
ed about two weeks ago, and has taken up
his old residence in Henderson Gulch, to.
gether with his mining property, placer and
quartz. He has one quartz lode which he
highly prizes, and thinks will be a bonanza
yet. Twelve years ago he got assays from it
which went over $500 in gold. Edgar, God
frey & Co. discovered an extension of this
ledge last fall and have done considerable
work upon it this summer. This is the ledge
from which the gold is supposed to have
come that was taken out of the placer dig
gings in this gulch.
The doctor expects his wife and family to
arrive here from the States sometime next
month. He has many friends here who vel
come him back. I. G.

mountains near Philipsburg, waited until the
return of Harvey Showers, his former fore

then came in and talked the matter over.
Mr.. Showers advised him to give himself up,
and at Queenor's suggestion came with him
to Anaconda, where he surrendered. He
said he Jared poorly in the mountains, sub
sisting mostly on birds, and having been

Protesting Against a Nuisance.
Editor Neau North-West

Editor Ne,o North Vest.
Within the last few days there has been n
dead animal placed just west of the ceme-
terry, within sixty or seventy. yards of the
road. and which in a few days will become
very offensive. This carcass is not only on
the road traversed by people living on Tin
cup, but also on the road travelled by the
many persons visiting the Lake.
Now we would like to see that carcass re-
moved. We would like to say word to the
person who placed 1t there, and to any that
may have desire in the future to place such
things there. Don't, for the sake of decency.
and for the comfort of the public, place such
things along the public road. If you have
no respect for yourself, do have little for
the public.

THE A. o, u, w.
A Separate Beneficiary Jurisdiction secur-
ed at Last.


For the past three months the Ancient Or
der of United workmen of this jurisdlcti on
have been making extraordinary efforts to
secure membership of 1000, in order to Sc
cure separate beneficiary jurisdiction for
this Grand Lodge jurisdiction, which liz
composed of Nevada, Montana, Utah, Wyo-
ming and Idaho. The special incentive for
the effort is the fact that when so set apart
.the membership will only be liable for as
sessments on deaths occurring within their
own jurisdiction, which is conceded by all,
well informed upon the subject, to be the
heaIthiest jurisdiction in the Union.
August 18th was fixed as the date for re-
! ceiying official statements from Lodges, upon
which to found an application for the sepa
ration.
From reports received by Grand Master
Workman j. w. Kinsley, 1t was ascertained
