The Dillon tribune. [volume] (Dillon, Mont.) 1881-1941, 1885-05-02

The popularity and worth Of the TRlB-
UNE is attestec by the following note, re-
ceived from Glendale: "Why have YOU
stopped my TRIBUNE. None for six
weeks. Send it along. The world is a
blank without it,
Adopt the city charter, and during the
coming summer little money could be
proftably spent on the streets of Dillon.
A very little money, jndiciously applied,
would bring wonderful Improvements, very
pleasing to behold.
Beaverhead County citizens who are re-
quired to appear at the United States Court

We have received a copy Of the "Pro-
ceedings Of the First Meeting of the Mon
tana Press Association" There is append

Diphtheria has appeared at several Mon
tana towns. This is, no doubt, the result
Of an accumulation of filth. Dillon should
take warming, and institute a vigorous
system Of cleanliness before it is too late
but this can not be done without adopting
the city charter and providing an economic
city government.
In Dillon there is Il growing feeling
and Just now it is quite healthy and robust
that the time has arrived when sui:a-
BILE form Of city government should be in
augurated. The identifying Of our town.
tn: improving Of the sidewalks, streets
and alleys-thc regulating Of the sanitary
condition of our town-all den' 'nds the
adoption Of the city charter.
The Dillon Pavilion has closed for the
summer season. 1t was built as a business
enterprise, and by sharp and popular man
agement it proved Il financial success. II
the credit of the people of Dillon be it re
corded that Pavilion exercises never go,
into court. Rink .crazed people will have
all summer to get we'll in, and prepare
themselves for next winters racket.

address on the occasion.
