The delightful weather that had prevailed
broke last Friday, and the thermometer that
night ran down to three degrees below freez-
ing, and Saturday night was only four de-
grees above freezing. Vegetation was
checked, and some of it cooked, but the
injury was not serious. Monday night and
Tuesday we had considerable rain, some
thing that was badly needed and which will
do great good, although a larger fall would
have been more acceptable. A few days
of warm weather now will make the coun-
try s'smile." ."."
There are a large number of trees and
shrubbery being planted in Deer Lodge this
season-large, even for a town that annually
spends consid erable sums of money for this
purpose and which is noted therefor. More
over, the expenditure this year is more judi
cious, the native trees and established hardy
varieties of all kinds being given preference
over the novelties and those of doubtful
adoption to this rigorous winter climate. In
a year or two the wisdom of this course will
be manifest, the lawns and gardens will be
spots of beauty and the growth of shade
trees on the residence streets will be uni
versal.

to the Deer Lodge Rod & Gun Club in such
manner that it is now deemed possible to
secure a conviction and the Club has offered
a reward Of $50 for the information
