P. Fl, Hughes has moved into his new
residence.
Services were held last Sunday evening
iii Mr. Hugs new building.
Hickory & Co. has done a neat job of
sign lettering for JAS. Hamilton's new liv-
cry barn.
C. n. Dickinson has had the interior of
his meat market fitted up in good shape
for winter.
w. j. Pratt has had q we'll sunk on his
property in this place and succeeded i'll
getting excellent water.
Wool-growers, your attention is called
to a notice in another column regarding
thoroughbred rams. You will do well to-
look after the matter.
We hear of a little %scrapplng match
which occurred one morning this week.
Suffice to say no great amount Of blood
was lost. The witnesses to the ARRAY say
it resembled a cat fight.
The Eclipse stables in this place will
shortly be opened to the public. The
proprietor, Jas. Hamilton, is a %rustler, and
we heartily recommend the ECLIPSE" as
worthy of the patronage of the public.
Mr.. Spear finished sinking a we'll on II.
P. Rolfe's ranch, east Of town, last week.
He found an abundance of water of a
good quality at a depth of sixty feet, fill
ing the we'll to within % feet OF the sur
face.
Robert Vaughn, David Wilson and j.
Coon, appointed By the commissioners as
viewers Of the proposed Deep creek road,
went over the route last Monday, and we
understand reported in favor Of its accep-
lance.
1t is thought that the ruling price for
coal this winter will be from So to 81 per
ton delivered, and wood from $3.50 to So.
Cheap fuel is a great commodity, and
Great Falls has an abundance, and plenty
to spare.
Doc Sturgeon has rented Remp &
Keogh's building on Second enu south,
and will move his popular resort therein
the first Of the coming month. Doc has
purchased a billiard and pool table, and
proposes keeping up with the times.
Mr.. Spear has received a complete new
drilling attachmentfor his we'll borer, and

that important part Of his machinery get
ting out Of repair, as has frequently been
the case the past summer. He is now
sinking a we'll for VIM Warner.
Brethren, is there a man with soul so
dead, who never to himself has said-"I
will my local paper take, both for my
own and family's sake?' If such there
be, let him repent, and have the paper to
him sent; for if he'd pass a happy winter
he in advance should pay the printer.
The weather sharks in this section say
that at present the indications favor a
mild, open winter. We would not advise
anyone to lay in any less fuel for winter
use on the strength of this prophecy, as
these weather sharks are usually not to
be depended upon to any great extent.
A gentleman who has just returned
from a trip to White Sulphur Springs and
the D Smith river valley, says that
the wheat cropis excellent, andthat many
of the ranchers residing within from five
to ten miles of White Sulphur will bring
their wheat here to be made into flour.
Heretofore it has been more convenient
when visiting the Great fall, to go on the
opposite side Of the river, owing to the
precipitous approach from this side, but
lately a road has been made on this side
which is comparatively easy, and the view
is said to be better than from the opposite
side.
P. II. Hughes started Tuesday for the
Yogo mining district, where he has a
number of valuable claims. Mr.. Hughes
saws Yogo will be the best camp in the
world within the next ten years. He is
an old and practical miner, and ought to
know what he is talking about, and we
believe he does.
We were shown a stalk of oat grown
ON Robert Vaughn's ranch in the Sun NV
er valley which measures seven feet and
two inches long, the head being twenty
inches in length. Mr.. Vaughn expects to
get an average of IS bushels per acre
from tire field from which this stalk was
selected. Tbs stalk can be seen in Mr..
GibsoR's office.
We understand Great Falls is to have a
drug store shortly, it being the intention
of a firm now doing business in Fort
Worth, Texas, to remove their stock here
vet this fall. 1t would seem that this
would be a good location for this particu-
lar line of trade, as there would be no
competition between Helena and Benton,
a distance of over 40 miles.
J.T. Lee, of Sand Coulee, has made the
best catch of fish at the Great falls yet
reported. He hooked $50 pounds in
well, we will not say in what length of
time, recently. Friday, of last week, he
made a catch of so pounds in half an
hour. This is a fish story, to be sure, but
nevertheless it is authentic, and we do
