Work en- the school house has been
commenced again, and viii be continued
until the building is completed.
Another lumber raft for a. Ii. HolterG
Bro. arrived tllis week. The company are
quitting a large stock Of lumber in their
yard here.
We understand Or. Fairfield of this
place will temporarily locate in Benton,
to take DR., Atkison's practice, who is
about to take a visit east.
D. b, Hall, of Chicago, will please &C
cept thanks for late copies Of the Chicago
Tribune and other publications. They
are acceptable at all times and under all
circumstances.
Willie eZcayating fora cellar, under the
building occupied by Murphy, Maclay &
Co, l.. w. Peek unearthed a spring Of
water. 1t has not been determined vet
whether it is merely an outlet for surface
water, or whether it is a "sure enough"
spring.
We understand that several parties who
have been loud in their denunciation of
Great Falls, and who have declared the
flour mill here a myth, men they saw the
machinery roll b. their door, wen inside
and have been kicking themselves con-
tinuously ever since.
Another flowing we'll was found on Mr..
Geo. Hugs ranch just east Of town last
week, At a depth Of abonttwenty-iye feet.
The water rises three feet from the sur
face. This makes three flowing wells
which Mr.. Speer has sunk this season.
lie is now at Dir. Ladd>s ranch in Sand
Coolee sinking & we'll.

Aman familiarly known here as Scotty,
mounted The hurricane deck Of a bucking
cayuse enc evening last week. The cay
use resented the familiarity, and fired
Scotty over the top Of his head toward
the zenith quick 'ern you could say Jack
Robinson. scotty's damages We're con
fined principally to his physiognomy and
Uranium.
Three small boys in row boat On the
river raised more or less commotion last
Friday. It seems they ventured too near
the rapids, and the current carried them
in. They became frightened, and after
yelling several times jumped from the
boat and waded to tic Shore. Tie aver
1ge Great Tails kid is venturesome, and
the chances are favorable for them to find
ii vatery grave beneath the placid bosom
Of the beautiful upper Missouri.
A gala day will be had at Augusta on
the 18th OF this month. The program
announced contains both horse and foot
race. The purses aggregate 1910. 1t is
proposed to make this a success, and any
one acquainted with the people of Au-
gusta and the surrounding country, are
aware that nothing is done on the half
shell, wherein they are Interested. A
grand ball in the evening will close the
days sport. See program in advertising
columns for full particulars.
Inasmuch as 40 name is yet given to
the landing at this point on the Missouri,
we beg to suggest thatof Wheeler's Land
ing, in honoro Of Col. W. F. Wheeler, who
is the pioneer navigator Of the upper Mis-
souri,, and has been an interchangeable
worker and friend Of Great Falls. We
believe chat the Commodore is entitled to
the distinction and honor which this
slight consideration would confer upon
him, and hereafter, if the good people OF
Great Falls acquiesce, we christen it
Wheeler's Landing.
It is now fair to presume the people
who have so o~bstinately refused to be-
lieye that the -four mill at this place was
anything but a myth, will also refuse to
believe that a ferry will be operated
across the Missouri at q point above the
mouth Of Sun river, and that the propos-
ed road from here to Eagle Rock will be
established. But they will be fooled
again. The ferry will be put in, and the
road will be built. When Great Falls
undertakes anything it comes as near
making a success of it as is possible.
We mentioned the fact last week that a
Benton blood, while laboring under a fit
of observation-disclosures, had sadly marred
the interior and exterior appealan c Of
the Silver Palace saloon in this place. At
the time he promised the proprietor, Hen
~ A. Fry. to settle the damage done as
0 as he returned to Benton, by replac-
inc the broken furniture. This he evil
IDENTIFY forgot to do. Accordingly Dir. Fry
went to the river metropolis and endeav-
ored to effect a settlement, but was I'M
successful: so he had the B. b.. arrested.
which resulted in his being fined $25 and
costs. Rather a costly price for an even
i,e-s sport. It is our opinion that Mr..
