Editors Herald:
So far this year nothing very ex>
citing has startled this section Of
the habitable globe. at presen.
everything has an eyen,tenor-of-its-
way appearance. y Building has
been the most conspicuous feature
this summer. 1t is reported that
800 business and private he uses
have already been erected. This is
very good showing for a town of
less than 10000 inhabitants. But
strange to say there Is not as yet
really imposing public structure in
Helena. The largest is tbree>story
building used as wholesale house,
with the upper aoors for office
rooms. The hands0mest building
in the city will be a three>stOry
board when it is completed. Though
not so large as the one drst men
toned, 1t will be the finer. In the
way OF private dive filings Hon. Tom
Hauser is erecting an edifce that
will be one of the most pslatial west
of the Missouri, at least IN this far
mp county. g,
You have, OF course, read all alb ut
the base ball game played between
the capital team and the Butte
BonanEas. Because the Helena nine
won the 6rst game lit was the first
they ever did why there was great
growing. The ball used during the
game being placed In window and
labeled: 81 his is the ball that con-
quered Butte" Imagine how crest
fallen they were next day when the
Butte boys left the diamond vltoyi~
GUS. A second series Of games have
been arranged to be played at
Butte the goth Of this month.
The contest at the Silver City will
M either cover the Helenaites with
glory, OF send them home with sad
dened hearts because o. defeat. As
Salt Lake club is aspiring tc
down the Mont anaisns, the coming
contest at Butte will doubtless be
watched with interest and anxiety
by your city to know the finale.
