Several wagon loads of emigrants heading
for different points have been in town the
past week. With all the influx there does
not appear more men seeking employment
than can readily obtain it. There are very
few idlers, except professional and constitu-

many of them.

Reports are to the eject that the alleged |
diggings in the Cour d'Alene Mountains on |
which the stampede from Bozeman was based |
have not been found, and IL is believed the |
stampeders were bilked by a man named |
Pritchard. Some of the stampeders have re-
turned to Missoula. The mines were certain |
ly not very far up in the mountains if they
were prospected already.
The roller skating business at Stuart does |

tioRal Bank fronting on Continental avenue

The school house bond election, submitting
to the electors of Deer Lodge school district
the question OF issuing bonds not to exceed
$4,000 for the erection, purchase, or extern
sion of school buildings, took place last Sat
urday. There were forty-tive votes cast-all
eyes" The vote was ridiculously light, but
we question If ever like proposition was so
solidly approved in Montana. We presume
the Trustees will soon open negotiations for
the object contemplated.
Through the courtesy of agent Smythe and
Attorney Word dozen of our people last
were invited to ride on the u. s. N.

turn. The day was delightful and the trip
most enjoyable. Further particulars can be
had by calling on or ADDRESSING r. q. Hum.
Der, Treasurer OF Deer Lodge County, whose
description of the scenery and expatiations
on the bracing effects of the pure mountain
air and the exbileration of dash down the
valley are just too too for anything.
Diphtheria, in a malignant form, appeared
In Butte couple of weeks ago and a dozen
or more cases occurred, several of which re-
suited fatally. The public schools, which,
however, had only day or two more to run,
were promptly and properly closed last
Thursday. The best opinion Is that the al |
leys of the city need thorough cleansing,
and we notice Mayor Whitford in his inaug-
ural address pledged his administration to
that result at whatever cost. We trust Su- I
pervisor Foster will look after this matter in
Deer Lodge, and wherever garbage nuisances
exist and the parties responsible fail to re- 1
move them on notice, call witnesses and re- I
port them to the next grand July. In the !
absence Of incorporation this is the best that
IAN be done. Now that our thorougfares are !
clean, every citizen should l
make 1t a matter Of personal concern to see
hat they are kept SO, and lime thrown
wherever there Is any malaria threatened.
We have mentioned before the "snow
he'd" or dare cap" as IL was called, put up
IN the q. g. N. grade. now apparently aban-
loned, ut the crossing of the Missouri, near
Bedford, thirty-two miles from Helena. 1t ,
spears the N. p. grade crossed some feet /,
.bove the U. & N. grade at that point, but ,
over than the U. & N. engineer thought ,
vas required for the successful operation Of !,
hat road. So the latter company, which had
'uilt its road bed first, erected a little build
ne on their grade at the intersection, the top

rouble had its removal been attempted ]
ONE months since, but when the two CON- ]
'anies "pooled" 1t seemed to an outsider
