The roads through the valley are in
some places unfit to drive on after night
fall, owing to unbridged irrigating
bitches. Farmers should remember that
the law compels them to bridge those

R. Edwards, which was tried before
Judge Martin yesterdy, motion by de-
fendant's counsel to non-suit was sus-
tanned by the court. The case was APP

wasted.
Hon. Sam Word left this afternoon for
home Speculations are always rife as to
his business, when he comes here, but
he is not very good one for reporter
to work. If he has anything to say, he
will say it, if not, he is as dumb as an
oyster.
Mr.. w. b. Nickels, representing the
Montana Stock and Mining journal, gave
us pleasant call this morning. The
journal he represents is published from
the printing and binding establishment
of Geo. E. Boos & Co, Helena, and edited
by A. M. Williams. It is very neatly
gotten up and will prove valuable ad-
dition to Montana journalism, and rep
resenting two of the principal industries
Is it does, cannot fail to meet want.
We tender our best wishes for its success.
Col. W. F. Wheeler has a boat ready
and will leave Stubb's Ferry for the
Great Falls on next Thursday morning,
provided four more persons take passage.
The fare is SIS, including board. Pas
sengers will supply their own blankets.
The trip is one of the most delightful
that can be imagined. For sixty miles
the canyon scenery is unsurpassed. The
walls of the great White Rock canyon,
which begins at the Gate of the Noun
tains, are from ZOO to $500 feet high.
The coal mines at Sand Coulee are but
six miles from the mouth of the Sun
River.
w. L. Perkins returned yesterday from
the Ceur d'Alene mines. He holds to
the opinion that it will prove to be one
of the richest mining camps on records,
but thinks but little will be done this
year. The side gulches where the gold
has been obtained so far, are short of
water; some of them none at all. Water
will, however, be brought into them, but
not large quantity. 1t will take some
time to open Pntchard creek, and the
contest over claims will not only be az
Rravating, but retard their development.
Z He visited great many claims personal
ly and saw the yield of great many of
them; hence his good opinion.
= While sauntering down the creek, fol-
lowing the Ito us) delightful pastime of
fishing we came across couple, a young
lady and gentleman whom we will name
as Miss M-P- and Mr.. w..
Upon inquiry we found that they had
not succeeded in catching any, while our
basket was full. Upon inquiring what
they were using IS bait We received the
answer that they were using some small
toads they had captured near by. A
close investigation led to the fact that
the toads thus impaled on the hooks had
deliberately swan ashore and were bask-
ing in the sunshine upon the stones. Be-
ing engaged in an earnest conversation
they had not noticed it until we attracted
their attention to it. We promised not
to give it away, but then We could not
resist the temptation.
The Hampton College Students, who
are to appear here next Monday under
the auspices of the Y. NC. A., come with
the highest recommendations for their
excellent performances. 1t must not be
understood because the price has been
lowered to rs cents for admission that it
is anything cheap. They have been &C.
customed to charge as high prices as any
other performers, but having entered in
to an arrangement with the Y. M. c. A.
the price of admission has been placed
by that institution at this low figure, be-
lieving that it will afford an opportunity
to such an additional number of persons
to witness the performance as will in the
aggregate bring the receipts up as high
as they would be if higher price of ad-
mission was asked. One thing we want
to impress on you is that it is no cheap
show, but an entertaining and attractive
one, and that it is under the patronage
and for the benefit ola local institution
and the money realized will be retained
in the community. The skating rink has
been secured. Seats can be secured to-
, day without any additional cost.
