The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1884-05-07


lar merchant of Glendive, arrived on
yesterdays train and is stopping with his
friend, Walter Cooper.
We see by the Livingston Enterprise
that our well known Bozeman bankers;
Sebree, Ferris & White, are erecting .
handsome store building in that city.
To-day's train, from the west, which
will bring number of delegates to the
convention, is five hours late, and will
not arrive until o'clock this evening.
Doctor Lamme showed the proper
spirit by exhibiting in his show windows
a fine lithographic cut, bearing the title
of delegates to the convention. Menden-
hall being deficient in the true artistic
spirit, mistook the masterpiece as a cut
of the Leavitt Minstrels and hauled it
down, greatly to the disappointment OF
the worthy doctor.
It has been brought to our notice that
some parties have been turning horses
into the grave yard enclosure. This is
all wrong and stop should be put to it
at once. We have no very high opinion
of the man who will turn his horses into
such place. Those who have friends
buried there, will not like to see their
graves desecrated or injured in any man.

As will be seen by a notice elsewhere
in our columns DR.. Monroe has sold his
drug store to Mr.. E. S. Clark. Both gen.
tlemen are to be congratulated on the
change. Mr.. Clark will at once step into
q large and profitable drug business, con-
stantly on the increase, and the good
doctor will gain what he has so long
needed-more time to attend to his
steadily charging round of professions
duties.
Doctor Monroe, the efficient superin-
tendent of Gallatin county educational
institutions says that the extra session
of the Bozeman schools has fully dem
onstrated that parents appreciate the
benefits of a full school term. The at
tendance has been very nearly as large
as in the winter, and the interest in stud
les even greater. Mrs. J. D. Radford has
been filling the vacancy occasioned by
Miss Paddotk's return to the east.
There have been a great many inquir-
les at the Northern Pacific land Offices Of
late regarding grazing lands in Montana.
Heretofore the number of ranches has
not been sufficiently large to necessitate
the purchase of lands. The indications
now are. however, that the territory will
soon be overrun, and owners of large
ranches have commenced purchasing
railroad lands. One inquiry received by
Land Commissioner Lamborn yesterday
was for 1000 acres.
William B. Tinsley, a thrifty ranch
man on Willow creek, called this after
noon at our sanctum and left most sub
stantial evidence of his appreciation of a
first-class paper. Mr.. T., is one of our
long-headed farmers who some time ago
caught on to the fact that diversified
farming pays better than exclusive wheat
raising. The result is every time he
comes to Bozeman he brings little band
of hogs or cattle, which always command
a ready cash sale.
The Bozeman Coal company are TAX
ing out about one hundred tons of coal
per day, which is being sold to the North
ern Pacific railroad. The experimental
coke oven is nearly finished and as soon
as practical test is made as to the feas-
Utility of coking their coal. The other
permanent ovens will be rushed forward
to completion-and the Union Pacific
will begin the building of their branch
of the Utah & Northern, connecting us
with Butte. This information is not a
rehash of a vague rumor, but comes
direct from headquarters.
