The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1883-08-01

The last heard from Hon. w. o. P.
Hays was, that he was sitting ON the YER
anda of the hotel at Eureka Springs, Ark,
chatting, laughing and smoking. He
demonstrates the staying qualities he
had when he represented Gallatin county
in the Council.
l Wilkie, the escaped convict, has not
returned from the pump where he was
sent to procure water. and it is suggested
that he misunderstood his instructions
and has gone in quest Of apollinaris for
the benefit of his health, but we will
wager years subscription to the CHRoS-
1cLE that Blakely gets him yet.
The new school house on the east side
which, under the supervision of A.
Zeitzke, is being pushed forward rapidly.
and will be, when completed, hand
some structure. Bozeman is not behind
in providing good school facilities, hav-
ing, when the new one is completed, two
school buildings second to none in the
Territory.
The Northern Pacific is now completed
eighteen miles west Of Helena and
twenty east of Missoula. Work upon
this end is progressing slowly, as the men
are in the mountains, close on to the
Mullan tunnel. The National Park
branch has been completed forty miles
south of Livingston.
To those in search of good comfortable
rooms in quiet and yet accessible part
of town, we call attention to the fact that
one block south of Main street Mrs. J. II.
Taylor has number of well furnished,
well ventilated and comfortable rooms to
rent by the day or week at reasonable
terms. For further information 60 to the
premises or inquire at the port office.
Mai. Gordon returned from the east
last Friday and is now busily engaged in
preparing for President Arthur and his
party. The Major has had busy time
of it this summer preparing outfits for
army officers and other government
tourists. Fl. Ellis is demonstratively
good point to outfit from, and for that
reason alone will be kept up for years to
come.
AL Lund, an old time resident of Gal
latin valley and former proprietor Of the
famous Mathews Hot Springs, is again in
our city taking in the changes which
have taken place during his absence.
AIS home at present is in Idaho, but he
has lingering fondness for the old place
and we hope he may conclude to return
and become an honored citizen of Gal
latin county.
Roscoe Conkling, one of the ablest, and
by far the most honest leaders in the
Republican party, passed through Liv-
} ingston Sunday en- route to Wonderland.
Mr.. Conkling is accompanied by ex-Gov-
ernor Gorham, of Massachusetts,, Hon.
Mr.. Boutwell,, ex-secretary Of the Treas
ury; Judge Cox, of Utica, New York;
Mrs. Conkling and Miss Cox. The party
are travelling in two private ears, and
are expected in Bozeman to-day.
A postal card was received by the
r CHRONICLE on Thursday last from w. O.
P. Hayes, requesting us to send hispaper
to Eureka Springs, Arkansas. He says
he expects to be able to read q number
of copies yet and is feeling first rate. Mr..
Hayes has passed through seige of sick
ness which would long ago caused death |
to man with less nerve. His many |
friends in this country will be pleased to
hear of his safe arrival at the hotsprings. |
r Doctor Lansing owns pet colt, which |
he keeps in yard back of his drug store.
On Saturday night last he was surprised
to see the animal walk into the back
! door, through the Office, pass into the
. store and deliberately jump through the
! show window. A few minutes afterward
a.noise was heard in Doctor Whitefoot's
office, next door, and upon investigation
Y the colt was found to have possession of
that room, quietly browsing on the
}, Doctors rare exotics. It did not have
i time to leave it's card.
|, The Benton River Press (Rep.) has the
following to say regarding the McCut-
cheon affair: "Such serious charges as
II have been presented against Mr.. McCut-
y cheon cannot be answered with a blud-
+ geon, as the gentleman will probably
II find out in time The proper thing for
him to do is to set about disproving the
charges preferred against him-and ifhe
can't do that, send in his resignation and
; no longer disgrace the public service. So
! far as We have heard an expression these
. are the common sentiments of the repub-
= licans of Choteau county"
It Engineer s. Deustch has prepared the
d following circular, which explains itself:
1 intend to make and have Autographed
4 map of the Gallatin valley. As wish
4 to have every land owners name plainly
;. printed upon the map in the section
owned by him, will be obliged to you
- if YOU will at once write on the enclosed
"a postal card, the township, section(or part
of section) and range Of which you are
the owner. The map will designate
which is railroad land and will also show
!" the railroads, wagon roads, creeks, rivers
L. and irrigating bitches.
a Rev. 7. B. Gray, who has just returned
h from the Park thinks that the railroad
should be extended up the Gardiner
river to the hotel at the Springs, and at
10 the Hot Springs there should be bridges
m or iron railing to keep visitors from
q breaking the delicate formations. AS it
n is impossible for ladies to obtain view
III of the falls, there should be bridges, stair
T. ways, etc. There should also be steam
boats on the lake. Carriage roads instead
a of trails should be opened in many places
or All these improvements could be made
~ with yerv little EXPENSE. and instead of
