The Tribune printed today q number
Of "Declarations of Intention" blanks
for Mr.. Cockrill. clerk of the district
court, and it might be well to state that
all persons who desire to attain that
highest honor and ignity-United
States citzenship-can take the first step
at any time on application to the clerk at
his office in the Central block.
Considerable life is apparent among
the gaming houses-an indication in the
latitudnous west that money is plenty
and easy. Not unfrequently some Of the
"boys" succeed in boarding the tiger in
his lair, and just as often others fall an
easy prey to the willy beast. In the
vcrnacular of the fraternity, it is about
IN even break all around.
Advices have been received from St.
Paul that tourist tickets, good for four
months, from st. Paul to Helena and re-
turn, would be placed on sale at a rate
between $55 and $5S, or at the same rates
as applied between Missouri river points
and Ogden. The round trip tickets are
now about $100. These rates are much
lower than people pay in going to Call
fornia and will enable prospectors to visit
Great Falls freely.
DR.. Henderson, who intended to reside
here has resigned the position he held
with the Manitoba railroad. 1t is under
stood that he will accept a similar posi-
ton on the Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas
City, which is attracting so many good
men to it's ranks. DR.. Henderson will
rent his fine house here and will also dis
pose of the new furniture he ordered FOR
it. His confidence in the growth of this
city is strong and he says he will always
feel interested in it.
Fifteen car loads of lumber have ar
rived for the reduction works. Immense
quantities of Missoula lumber are also
ready for shipment, and may be expected
soon. Mr. kirkendall has taken con
tract for hauling the lumber to the works.
The engineers and architects are busy
with matters in their line. A Denver
gentleman who was recently in town
spoke in high terms of the activity and
enterprise Of Mr.. Eilers, who has made
considerable money at Pueblo by his re-
ducton works, in which he smelts ore
from his own mines.
Soon will the streets resound with
music. The band instruments are coming
from St. Paul and the band itself is nearly
ready for them. j. T. Shaw is leader,
=. w. Peck instructor and Peter Mac
donald business manager. Among the
members are H. A. Harris, q. Wright, q.
Hawkins, Jean Lippincott, q. Webster
and Will Peck. There will be 13 pieces
in all, despite the ill-omens that cling to
that number. The instruments (of torture,
some would say), are B flat cornets, clari-
onet, piccalo, alto, tenor and baritone
horns. trombone, tuba and drums. This
band is to be cosmopolitan in its choice
of music 1t will play the "Star Span
gled Banner" the "Wacht nm Ehein," the
"Marseiliaise," Rule Brittania' ":S;.
Patrck's Day, the "Campbells are Com
ing" and the Mexican national hymn. 1t
will also play some soul stirring war
music. The members of the band are all
enthusiasts and will make the air vocal
with martial airs, as Webster says.
Mr.. Wallace Taylor Of Choteau county
is in Helena, where he has been spending
few days. When Wallace lived in Hell
ena. says the Montana Live Stock Journal,
few years ago, he was but STRIPPING of
a boy, but now he has developed into a
large, somewhat portly and fine looking
man, and not a few of his old time friends
failed to recognize him Wallace is also
a cattle king, and like the sensible gentle
man he is, after enjoying all the romance
that can be squeezed out of roughing it
on the ranges, he has taken unto himself
a wife and the responsibilities OF bane-
die. Mrs Taylor accompanied her hus-
band to the city and left a day or two ago
on a west bound train to visit her parents
for a few weeks. Mr.. Taylor reports cat
tie and the ranges in Choteau in excellent
condition. He says the losses this winter
are confined to very late calves and very
old COWS and that wolves were powerful
factor in killing them. On the whole
however, he says stock losses are nominal
in his portion of the territory.
