The Dillon tribune., 1884-03-01

The March number of De,soresfs Month
", which is before US, cannot tail to bring
pleasure to its readers. 1t is filled with
good stories, including the continuation OF
an admirable serial. The illustrations, as
usual, are excellent the frontispiece being
an oi. picture, "The Rise of the Moon, an
art production that is both novel and beau
| tiful.
That the TRIBUNE is condensed engine
of reformation is acknowledged by Rev.
John Jay Garvin, in the last Christian Ad-
zocate. as follows: ave acknowledge the
receipt of the Dillon TRIBUNE and have
placed the same on our exchange list. The
TRIBUNE comes we'll filled With condensed
news, and fails not to speak favorably of
Christian and Temperance work"
The Washington birthday ball given at
Twin Bridges was such complete sue
cess that they want more fun down that
way. A grand phantom party (sheet and
pillow case) is to be given at Good Tenn
plars' Hall, Twin Bridges, on Friday even
ing, March 14th. The party will be under
the management of experienced commit
! tees and it will be we'll worth attending.
We notice in the last number the Mon-
Mna Chu,cAman an interesting letter Fl ON
the Den of Rev. Andrew Decatur Drum
mond, relating to St. James Church and to
Sunday School work. The school is strong
and numbers about eighty pupils who are
instructed by a corps of earnest teachers
to whose active efforts may be attributed,
in great measure, its growth and flourish
ing condition.
The Butte dailies-the Inter Mountain
and the Miuey--have again enlarged. Both
are now seven-column papers. These dai-
lies are becoming notorious for the handy
manner in which they curtail and enlarge
their proportions. The last enlargement
is decided improvement in both journals,
and We hope Butte patronage will be lib
eral enough to enable the managers to- keep
up the enlarged size.
Lou &. Fyhrie received letter from
Messrs Matthews and Webb, ore and bull
lion brokers at Denver, Colorado, and the
gentlemen who are to put up the Sarnpling
Works at Dillon in the Spring. The erec-
ton of the works is merely matter OF
time. Messrs Matthews & Webb conclude
their letter with-"We are making arrange
ments to go in on big scale, and when we

The North Vest says that upon the ap-
pication of some twenty Comrades living
in Deer Lodge county the establishment
of Post Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public has been made at that place. There
are enough Comrades living at Bannack,
Glendale, Dillon, Twin Bridges, Silver Star,
Sheridan and other towns in Beaverhcad
and Madison counties to form Post for
Southern Montana. Dillon, being in the
"center of the situation" would be the
proper place for the Post to meet ~.
The Butte Inter Mountain has been dill
gently scoring the management .of the af-
fairs of the Alice Company. The collapse
in Alice stock did more toward giving the
Butte camp a "black eye" than the incor-
poration of the whole batch Of $4,000, 900
prospect holes. The late Alice report is
printed, we presume, to show the condition
of the company-but Philadelphia lawyer
can not take the array of figures and make
out therefrom the number Of dividends the
company will pay on its capitalization OF
$Ioooo,ooo.
The statement in the Helena Indebendent
that Messrs. Potts & Harrison first intro

Norman Percheron draught stations is not

head Valley, first brought this stock into
the Territory, and several years before
Potts & Harrison thought Of going into
the horse business. In 1874 Mr.. Maui
din imported the stallion "Mingo," Of 1000
pounds weight, and he is certainly entitled
TO the credit Of first introducing this stock
into Montana.
The programme given by the Dillon Lit
cry Society at St. James Church on Tues
day evening was a little chaffy-light in
length. But if the programme was short
it was interesting and we'll rendered. The
essay was good-the declamations and rec
itations were fully up to expectations and
were heartily encored. The musical part
was excellent, and its deficiency consisted
in there not being enough of it. Little
Daisy Tracy rccited admirably for child
The next programme will be longer and it
will be duly announced.
We have received the prospectuses OF
two new Ceur d'Alene newspaper ven
lures. The Ceur d'Alene DAILY Eagle is
to be issued at Eagle City, Shoshone Co.,
Idaho, on March lst, BY Parker & DeSucca.
The Ceur d'Alene Enterprise, published at
Eagle City BY Messrs. Bctkin & Burr, is
the last received up to date. While the
TRIBUNE wishes the Ceur d'Alene sheets
abundant success, we fear that some of the
journals will have pasted on their front
