ant. Merrill wanted to clean suit Of
clothes for the young gentleman, but his
charges were too high and he failed to
get the job. Nothing daunted, however,

took the clothes away, saying he had
been sent for them. When the owner OF

We are in receipt of copy of the
Great Falls Tribune. 1t is a.neatly got
ten up and carefully edited seven-column
folio, brimful Of news and healthy look
ing advertising. This issue records the
safe arrival in that city of all our boys
who recently left here to operate in the
Sand Coulee mines, south of Great Falls.
This is a thriving young city, believed
with the spray of the leaping cascade and
bounding cataract. The scenery sur
rounding it is impressively grand and
magnificent in its majestic outlines. Here
nature looks her grandest, and, with
mans mechanical skill applied, the trea-
sures OF mother earth will adorn and
beautify that particular section of the
vast and fertile territory of Montana.
We see that Bishop Brondel, Of the Cath
Ole church, paid visit recently to Great

stock, who will aid him in this good
work, as they have always done in other
places.
