Progress of The City Park.

The proprietors of the City Park are
carrying out their well matured plans for
providing our citizens with a splendid
resort, with business like promptness.
Work is in progress on the ground and
by the last of the week, this fine six acre
plat will be seeded in clover, timothy,
blue joint and orchard grass, fenced in a
workman like manner and the trees set
out in accordance with the aesthetic plans
drawn by Mr.. Deitch, the skillful
draughtsman, late in the employ of the
Northern Pacific. Water will be supplied
from a ditch, which runs through the
premises. The largest and best adapted
trees to the climate and the season have
been secured and set out. No pains or
expense have been spared to lay the
foundation of park, which will be the
pride of the city.
When Messrs. Story, Cooper and Dick
erson laid the plan for this park they re-
solved to carry forward the work to the
end that this shall be the future breath
ing spot of spacious and well ordained
CITY. and around which will soon cluster
the finest residences within the corpo-
rate limits of the municipality. Here is
the high ground, the fine water and air
which renders residence in this beau
tiful valley daily joy. The spacious
streets laid out here will also be beauti-
fed when water works shall have been
secured. by rows of shade trees with a
hack ground of floral carpeted lawns,
mch as are seen in that paragon of a city
of the plain, Denver, the pride of the
centennial state.

President Willard.

As President Willard has been here it
may be of interest to our readers to know
how he got his start and accumulated his
large fortune, which is estimated from
$2O,OOO,OOO to S25,OOO,OOO. Willard was a
young German of respectable but not at
all aristocratic family who came to this
country some years before the war. He
had knack for business, and although
for some years he had to be newspaper
correspondent and get beaten around
from point to point, he kept money in
his mind. He made his first money in a
big whiskey deal in Washington. Aware
that taxes would have to be raised in
order to provide the government with
the revenue, he addressed himself to
knowing when and to what extent the
taxes would be raised on vital matters
like whisky, tobacco, etc. In that way
he became connected with Horace White
who was political correspondent, clerk
Of committee, etc. Those men and few
of their friends made good round sums of
money for that day, perhaps $4,000 to
$150,000 apiece.

Bozeman's New Additions.

NJ. S. Deutch, one Of the most expert
draughtsmen in the country has prepared
a plat of Bozeman and the new additions
from Mr.. Hollidge's reliable field notes,
which is the most artistic piece Of work
ever done in the Territory. The plat
has been prepared for lithographing, and
in addition to showing streets, blocks and
lots will contain data as to the resources
and development of the Gallatin Valley
and the City of Bozeman, which will be
invaluable to parties abroad desiring to
make investments in Bozeman. The To-
cation and cost of the principal buildings
in the city will be shown, and on the
margin of the'plat will be printed the
buildings themselves and street views
and scenes. These may be sent to par
ties IN the east by which they may de-
termine the centers of business, resi-
dences etc.
Among the new additions shown are
the park addition Of Story, Cooper and
Dickerson. The other additions are the
Spring Brook, of Dickerson, Koch and
Cooper, and Prospect addition of J. S.
Dickerson, on Main street, also Storys
addition, and the amended plat Of Hoff-
man, Tracy and Blacks additions. These
are all shown in their relation to the
original township, the principal improve
ments and the main thoroughfares. A
more comprehensive and artistic piece
of work of like character was never
transferred to a Autograph stone. The
draughmen of the land department of the
Northern Pacific have also prepared a
fine plat of that addition from Mr.. Perrys
excellent notes and drawings. These are
now in the hands of the lithographer,
and will be circulated upon the return Of
Col. Lamborn from the Pacific tour. With
the interest now at work for the deve-
lopment of Bozeman it ought not to
require vision prophetic to foresee that
Bozeman is laying the foundation of
city of no mean dimensions. All this
city needs is that its present condition of
prosperity and resources of its immense
tributary territory for future develop
ment shall be advertised to more than
realize the most sangline expectations of
its most enthusiastic citizens.

wealthy dealing in Kansas City real
estate, and perhaps is as well acquainted
with dirt in its various forms and condi-
tons Us any one.
As Mr.. Orr made the trip to San Fran
cisco and back on business solely, ne is
probably better able to give an unpre-
JUDGED account of the country than any
one we are liable to see for some time.
He stated that he was twelve days from
San Francisco, which is remarkably fast
travelling, considering the great distance
to be covered by coach. He said that
during the greater part Of the journey
through Washington Territory it rained
necessarily. A large number of washouts
had caused delays and considerable ex-
pense, at one place side of mountain
had slid for distance of 800 feet, and
after passing the breech it seemed incom-
prehensible to him how the cars were
gotten over the temporary track. When
asked about the advantages of Washing
ton Territory ne said he failed to see
where it was better than Montana, and
thought it would be folly for poor man
to leave this country, where there could
be obtained SO much cheap and good
land. The valleys he said were indeed
beautiful, but in every instance they were
all taken up by thrifty ranchmen. The
lumber business he said was the only
opening business man of wealth could
find, and he thought many large fortunes
would be made at that business.
In answer to our question about Spo-
kane Falls, he said that people were COM
ing to it from every direction, but unless
they could live on scenery he failed to
see how they could subsist. The water
power, he said was irst-class, but mas
much as the country for eighteen miles
in any direction was an uncontrovertable
gravel bed, he failed to see where the
power could ever be put to any use. He
further stated that as far as he had seen
Bozeman and its surroundings they were
as fine as any, and that the city's future
could not be controverted. There are
many who have got the Washington
Territory fever bad, and if the opinion OF
those who have been there and returned
to Montana can be taken for anything.
Montana offers far better inducements at
nrpsent to the settler

A wow, wuMPus AND w1oT.~
A Night Ride to Gallatin City, and What
Came of it.

Monday eveningabout s o'clock Sheriff
Blakely received telegram from Gala
tin City, that a riot had commenced and
requesting him to bring posse to quell
it. A locomotive and caboose were
placed at his disposal, and in less than
half an hour the posse was sum moned
and on board the car. A CHRONICLE re-
porter thinking there was Emusic in the
air" and chance to write up a blood
curdling story accompanied the party.
Conductor Mckay whirled the party
down to Gallatin in fifty-three minutes,
and upon arriving at the scene Of the
disturbance the Sheriff marched his
posse, consisting of sixteen men, upon
the town of Gallatin, which consists of
about four tent or canvass houses. About
thirty men were standing around who
were Immediately ordered to throw up
their hands and march to Il given spot,
when they were surrounded by the posse
and the parties charged with the disturb
ance were duly arrested and put on the
cars and brought to Bozeman, arriving
here about ~ o'clock the same night. As
near as our reporter could CLEAN the facts,
they were as follows.
A man by the name of Charles Miner
had been indulging too freely, and in
company with woman was making a
bedlam OF the little community. He
struck one man a violent blow and shot
at another. Excitement ran high and
matters looked threatening when the
Sheriff, as above stated, was summoned
by telegraph. In conversation with
gentleman there, the reporter remarked
that it looked a little foolish to telegraph
and have the Sheriff come there with a
posse to arrest man and woman. He
said, "You do not know what might have
been the result if only a small party had
come. There are good many hard
cases here, whose sympathies are with
the prisoners, and you came with suffici-
ent force to OveraWe them. 1t mas good
moral effect anyway, because it shows
that the law will be uppermost, and in a
speedy manner will vindicate itself"
We could not but admit the force of the
argument. We think, that although the
results did not comport with what SEEM
ed very grave thing, it nevertheless
teaches lesson to the lawless, though
at distance from the county seat where
the officers are, but short time will
elapse before they can be brought face to
face with them. We were impressed
with the soldier-like precision which cor
rallied the town of Gallatin in less time
than we can write it.

A REVIEW.

A REVIEW.
Twelve years ago when came to Boze-
man 1 brought all my worldly wealth
Qess than two thousand Gollars) with me
and cast my lot with the pioneers Of CIV
ilation hereabouts, with an expectation
to make home and live among the adj
vance guard. Since that time my bust
ness has increased from five thousand
dollars the first year to twenty thousand
dollars the last year, and I am proud
of the record I have made, and feel
just pride in my customers, who have
enabled me to achieve such success. A
year ago, the march of improvement
caused me to vacate the log house corner
of Main and Bozeman streets, at which
time l commenced the building of
more spacious and comfortable building
to accommodate my increasing trade. AZ
ter two removals and one fire, am at
last settled in my new quarters,
OSBORN'S NEW BRICK BLOCK,
where I hope to see all my old friends
and customers, and the public generally,
whether they wish to purchase or not. 1
hope they will come in aud take look
around and compare the old with the
new.
You will find larger and better select
ed stock of goods in the drug line than
was ever before brought to Bozeman
consisting in part of
Drugs proper, patent medicines, toilet
and fancy goods, perfumeries, Sponges,
fine pocket cutlery, gold and steel pens,
pencils, stationery, brushes-all kinds,
toilet soaps, paints and oils, window
glass, lamps and chandeliers, lamp trim
mings, trusses, supporters, braces, can
dies, pure liquors for medical use, and
the best goods generally that can be
bought for money.

Sheriff Blakely in carrying out an in
tention formed some time ago has had a
search instituted in the Jail. The search
so far has resulted in finding two saws
made out of knives and also saw frame,
bottle of very strong acid and one bolt
missing in one of the cells. The tools
were found in the cell of the man who
committed murder in Rocky canyon.
The sheriff has promptly confined all the
most dangerous suspects in the cages,
and perhaps none to soon, as in all prob
ability before court convened Jail de-
livery would have been the result. We
understand the search will continue and
the utmost vigilance will be kept up at
least until the dangerous characters now
confined have been dealt with according
to law.

Real Estate Transfers.

Slowly but surely spring is causing
winter to beat retreat. Green grass,
budding trees and myriads of mountain
wild flowers have taken the place of the
cherries brown hue that covered all
objects but short time before. Farmers
throughout the valley have the most en-
couraging reports of seeding already
done, Or nearly finished. The disagree
able weather, while, no doubt, annoying
to city folks, is worth its weight in gold
to agricultural interests. Every indica-
ton points toward a fullflment of the
prophecies of our "old timers" that the
crop of 1883 will be unprecedented.
In harmony with these facts there has
been healthy movement in real estate,
as the transfers taken from the books of
Rountree & Quaw will evince. These
gentlemen report an important sale of
S19,SS7 worth of Henry Willard mining
stock to Mr.. Chatter, of Fargo, Dakota,
who represents syndicate Of English
capitalists.
Important sales of ClaTke's Fork pro-
perty are on the tapis. One of Roun-
tree & Quaws prospectors, who has just
returned from Cook City, states that in
spite Of the snow, vast army of gold
seekers are already in the mines, and the
rush has only just begun. Several good
discoveries have been made in Bear
Gulch, and late report, not yet fully
confirmed, has it that a bonanza has just
been brought to light on Mill Creek.
Each day shows more conclusively that
Bohemian is destined to be the great
center fer all these newly developed
mines.
One of Wisconsins most eminent
judges, who passed through Bozeman
last week. said in an interview with Mr..
Quaw: "Your city possesses boundless
possibilities. Montana is vast and I'M
explored treasure house. The N. P. R.
R. is the KEY that has unlocked its doors,
and your city must of necessity share
in this wealth." These words are from
man who has succeeded both as a judge
and fnancier. He is one of tine few
who in an early day could predict and
comprehend the subsequent develop
ent of Colorado and the growth Of Den.
