Flathead Valley.

Among visitors in town yesterday
were Messrs. Stoddard and Sumner,
partners. who are engaged in farming
and stock growing on Flathead creek
at the head of Shields river. From
Mr.. Sumner we learn that Flathead
valley is now occupied by as many as
fifty prosperous settlers. Some months
ago they sent in petition for 4 post
office on the Livingston and White
Sulphur Springs route to be called
Flathead. The petition was signed by
over eighty persons whom the office
would have benefited, but for some in
explicable reason the department has
entirely disregartled it so far. II
should certainly be granted AS its es
ta,,lishment would involve no extra
EXPENSE to the service and is urgently
needed. The nearest Offices at present
are Livingston. White sulphur Springs
or Bozpman. 40 to- go miles away. The
Flalhead settlers also wish to have Il
precinct organization Of their own.
They particularly wish the appoint
ment Oe a road supervisor who will
see to it that the road tax Of that dis.
trict is expended in labor for the i'm
provement of their own roads. They
are also a great distance away from
any polling plae ESQ far that many Of
the settlers will forego their fraan.
chise rather than spend two days in
exerciing it. The board Of county
commissioners will doubtless adjust
these difficulties as soon as called up.
on to do so. Flathead valley is one. OF
The most prosperous settlements in the
county.

Thomas W. Cover was one of the
pioneers Of Gallatin county and of

Livingston. Mr.. Cover himself suf.
frred a slight wound at the time. hut

Bozeman's death to the people OF the
town that hears his name. Now It
