of "a Life Before the FootIights-Just
for the Fun.
Boston is the greatest market in this conn
try for certain sort of stage supplies. All
the managers come here to obtain recruits
for their companies. The stock Of raw mate
rial for such purposes hereabout il practically
unlimited and of very unusual quality-a
fact which is due chiefly to the prevalence in
all classes of the community of ornamental
education. The modern Athens, like its pro-
totypo of old, has many schools which are
devoted wholly to the instruction OF students
of both sexes in musical and dramatic art.
To these academies and consoryutories flock
pupils from all over the United States who
seek the kind of training best calculated 10
fit them for theatrical employment Many
of them are glad to get some incidental ex-
pelienco of practical nature by taking part
as supernumeraries now and then ON the
local boards. The most available are picked
up by travelling shows, and in this manner
make their first entrance into the professional
ranks.
Outside of the schools, too, are found num-
bers of young men and women with fair
voices and some knowledge of music, who
are more or less serviceable in chOrnses
Most of these singers are honest bread win
ners, who are glad TO add tritle to their
earnings by warbling on occasions when they
are needed to fill ont the ensemble of some
exceptionally elaborate stage production
Vastly outnumbering them are the girls who
toll in the shops by day, and at night appear
whenever they can procure a chance-as

Soldiers in a New Field.

We are reliably informed that the
colored troops at Fort Shaw are engaged
with government mules and moving
machines in cutting hay on the goyen-
ment reserve to fill a contract entered
into between civilian and the govern
ment; in other words, as near as we can
learn the state of the case, the colored
troops are acting in the capacity of sub.
contractors to the United States govern
ment. We are also told that the business
does not end here. 1t is said that any.
one who wants load can drive his
wagon to the hay field in the reserve
and the colored troops fill it with hay,
charging therefor price lower than the
farmers or other persons in the busines
can possibly afford to sell 1t for. Weare
also informed that an officer of the post
has charge of the colored troops while
they are engaged in this sanguinary
business s.-Riyer Press.

Hopes Rye.

Old residents of Montana will remem-
ber Hoopes Bros. of Boulder valley, and
the history Of certain kind of rye which
took their name. As we remember the
seed was obtained from the craw of
wild goose which was killed on its south
ern fight about 1867 or '6S. The grain
kernels were pure white and of i'm
mense size. The Hopes brothers saved
every grain and planted them year after
year until they had large field of it.
The seeds afterwards found its way into
other portions of the territory, and the
grain became famous for its superior
quality, heavy productions and the i'm
mense size of its kernels.
Last year Mr.. James Rowe was made
the possessor of four pounds of it by
Harrison, cf Harrison postoflice, Mon
tana, who sent it to him in exchange for
some of Mr.. Rows's seed corn. He care
fully planted it and the crop is now
ripening, Mr.. Rowe, who is an old east
ern farmer. is astonished at the result
He says it is the most remarkable grain
he ever saw.-River Press.

The New Hotel.

The proposed new hotel for Bozeman
will, no doubt, be erected. Local cap
italists, such as Jas. Martin, Nelson
Story, ]. s. Mendenhall, A. g. Tod, and
others, are moving in the matter, and
confidently predict that the hotel will be
built, Some slight trouble has been ex-
perieneed in procuring suitable site
at fair valuation, but these gentlemen
believe that it will be accom-.
plished in q short time. They are
moving slowly in the matter, but with
determination and oneness of purpose
that assures success. Their plan, which
is fully matured in all of its minor de-
tails, contemplates the erection Of
stone and brick building, 150xl5O. three
stories high, with basement, in which
the barber.shop and baths will be lo-
Gated. On the first floor, four store
rooms. including a saloon, will be pro-
vided, together with an entrance to the
hotel office, which will have openings
leading to any and all of the stores on
the lower floors. An elevator will be
provided for the guests, and the build
ing, which is estimated to cost $l25 600,
will be built in the most substantial
manner. II is conceded that the build
my will pay good interest from the start
as the locations for stores will be in
great demand at large rental. 1t is
proposed TO get first class hotel man to
take the hotel. All of our keenest bus
iness men unite in pronouncing the
plan of providing Bozeman with hotel
which will attract the tourist and trav-
eler rs one of the best they have ever
heard of. The main reason why &c
many hotels have failed to pay in the
Western towns is because they have
been located away from the towns cen
ter, where free grant of land could bt
obtained, and then erected at larg,
cost, without providing rooms for busi
ness, which would secure considerable
amount of trade from the hotel guests
The plan proposed by the gentlemen
inaugurating this project in Bozemai
certainly deserves the united support o
all, and we are pleased to say that is i
receiving it.

CATTLE Raising.

Theb broad western rsnges are this year
a counterpart of what they were ten
years ago, covered with q rank growth
Of grass. This is not due, as some may
think, to generous rainfall alone, but
to the absence of thousands of extra cat
tie which for the past few years haye
overstocked the grass lands of the west.
When we were in the northwest last fall
during the cattle-shipping season, We
were confident the loss on the range
during the following winter would be
very light even through the winter
months were exceedingly severe, and
such proved to be the case, and all know
how dreadful the storms were. The
whole thing in a nutshell is, that extra
or surplus stock was sent to market and
the cattle left were young and vigorous,
with plenty of ground to Craze over.
When the range is eaten down to a
smooth road bed,. there is but little
chance for stock to stand a storm, but
with grass, even if it is six inches under
snow , bovine or horse will stand plenty
of cold and come out all right in the
spring. This sending to market
the surplus which consisted prin-
cipally in the available stock
of joint corporations. the manager.
of which had to make a showing
to satisfy shareholders, no doubt KEEP,
down the price of beef, and now the re
action has taken place and the old-timt
paying basis Is oforded the feeder snt
ranchman. There may be, as some fear
combination working for corner, bu
we think not, and look for fair figure
for good cattle for some time. 1t pay
to raise full-blood cattle. if only for beef
they will make you money, if scrul
stock doe, lose it for you.-Western Re

The Future Market.

The Kentucky Stock Farm pays the
west the following anisome compile
ment:
The great and growing west is the
future market for the tine-bred horses Of
Kentucky. Hitherto the best customers
have come from the east. The change
that is coming over the business is most
marked. Formerly the third and fourth
rate stock went west, but the horse fam
ciers of that section have become
wealthier and numerous. They want
the best, and are ready to pay the best
prices for what suits them. They live
in land and at time where speed is
greatly priced. Assure them that the
horse possesses the necessary speed and
you may name your price. This is the
hint which the market gives to our
breeders. They should take it and
breed for speed, and look to the west
for announcement.

WATER-WORKS.
THE FRANCHISE GRANTED TO
COOPER, BEMENT, GARY,
AND ROBINSON.
The Works to be Commenced as Soon as
Possible and Completed by
Next September.

Woolston has been knocked off Of the
perch. He failed to come to time and
was thrown aside last Thursday night
by the City Council, which on motion
of Aid. Cobb, passed an ordinance re-
scinding all ordinances granting Mr..
Woolson water privileges, inasmuch as
he had failed to perform any part of the
agreement made by him with the City
Council.
Messrs. Bement and Cooper, of the
proposed new water-works company, to
which Mr.. Cooper had assigned the
privileges granted him by the Council,
we're present and gave the Council an
outline of their plan of operating water
works. Mr.. Bement stated that he had
been in Bozeman in June and thorough
ly investigated the water supply, which
he found to be pure and plentiful. He
had examined it again, and found that it
was just the same as in June. He further
stated that the granting of the franchise
to Woolston had. complicated matters
somewhat, and on the advice Of his at
torney in St. Paul, he concluded that it
would be safer for him to wait until the
extension granted to Woolston had ex-
pired before entering into any contract
with the city. Mr.. Bement then gave
the plans and purposes of his company
in general way, should the contract be
entered into. Reservoirs would be
erected at point where safe pressure
one hundred pounds-can be main.
tanned. The main pipes were to be of
ten inches, and six miles would be laid
as soon as possible.
After Mr.. Bement had concluded his
remarks, he submitted his ordinance to
the Council, which was read by the
clerk, and also the bond given by the
water company for the faithful perform
ance of their work, in the penal sum of
5000. The ordinance was taken up,
read, and adopted by sections, with a
few slight and unimportant amend
ments. According to its provisions, the
city agrees to take Thirty hydrants, to be
located throughout the city, at yearly
rental of 800 each said hydrants to be
exclusively used by, and under the con-
troll Of the city, and fitted with connec-
tions suitable to the hose now in use
by the city; work to be commenced
before the first day Of October of this
year, and completed by the first of Sep
tember of next year.
A list of prices charged for water,
which the company cannot exceed. is
embodied in the ordinance, which be-
comes a contract Immediately upon its
adoption and posting.
At the end Of fifteen years the city
can purchase the works, if it 80 desires,
at valuation set upon them by board
of arbitrators.
After the adoption of the ordinance as
a whole, the clerk was directed to ex-
anime the law and ascertain whether OF
not it was necessary for an election to be
held to endorse the action Of the Coun-
Gil.
A special meeting was called for Fri
day night, after which the Council adj
journed.
The Bozeman weekly chronicle., 1888-08-08

A man evidently very recently from
the states arrived in Bozeman last week
and brought with him besides capacious
grip, sad story ofmis-placea confidence.
He says that he remained in Livingston
for awhile and while there was robbed.
And what was worse, he says that he
went to the sheriff and related his woes
and was received with jeers and bolster
GUS daughters. He is indignant to think
that such county as Park should have
one.legged sheriff, whose breath
would stop clock. When one considers
the fact that the real sheriff of Park
county has two first.class legs under him
and does not drink anything stronger
than pop, is is evident that the gentle
man from the states has been imposed
upon by pseudo-sheriff.
