warehouse is up Y

ter creek are in the city.

ing next, when the renowned Sam Word

It's held BY many that Great Falls is
just the place for a big democratic barbe-
cue and meeting. The park is well
adapted for such demonstration, which
would be great success.
H. L. Mcintyre, democratic candidate
for county surveyor Of Cascade county,
was in the city last evening, and reports
rapid progress on the great Sun river
ditch. Mr.. Mcintyre is Trusting" and is
sure to be our next county surveyor.
Theo. Gibson is in state of exultation
today because his fine thoroughbred Jer-
sey COW, Forest Lilly, has come to the
front with q heifer calf that is a "perfect
beauty, the color Of deer and as pretty
as picture" to use his own extravagant
language. ~
Charles NJ. Webster has returned from
Belt, Kibbey and Barker, where the re-
publican deputation held meetings. He
found the Barker miners hoping anxious
ly for railroad to Great Falls Mr..
Webster made the trip from Barker in
about IL hours.
An old timer says that a chinook fall
is followed by mild winter. Hence it
is inferred that the coming winter will be
mild. It is recalled that last year the
river was frozen on November IS and
there was good walking on the ice on
day.
Clark brothers Of Choteau, the extern
sive wool growers, sent their clip to New
York during the recent season. An item
in the United States Economist, October
l3, show that they have sold to advantage.
1t says: "The sale of 5000 lbs fine med
ium Montana, reported among our sales,
is the Clark Bros. & Co.'s clip of Choteau
one of the best grown in the ter
ritory, which was sold by Mr.. James
Lynch at 1890. =z=zs==
The great American orator and tariff
expounder, Columbus Cicero Ray, has
just returned from tour of the eastern
portion of the county, where he made
three or four republican speeches, and
simply terrified the natives. There is no
question bat the precincts he visited will
show large democratic gains.
There will be large democratic rally
Of the good, old time kind at Sun River
on Tuesday evening next. Speeches will
be made by j. w. Stanton, J. B. Leslie
and w. M. Cockrill as we'll as by several
candidates on the county ticket. There
will be another big meeting at St. Clair
(Gorham) on Friday next, the Goth in
slant.
N. j. Mcconnell, the architect, spent
last evening in the city and was actively
rustling to secure q sufficient supply Of
Sand Coulee building stone. He says he
wants 40 carloads and is not able to getit
fast enough to meet the demands on
buildings he has in course Of erection.
Mr.. Mcconnell has high opinion Of
this stone and says that in the course Of
time it will supercede all others for fine
work in Montana and the northwest. The
great drawback at present is that no one
seems to be prepared to quarry and deli
yer it fast enough for the demands Of the
trade.
We learn that Prof. Patch, who didn't
get the nomination for county superin-
tendent,s. has sent circulars all over the
county announcing that he is a candidate
for that office, and giving alleged reasons
why he should be chosen, instead OF eth
er Of the ladies regularly nominated He
has even gone further than this and has
had bogus tickets printed, both demo-
cratic and republican, with his name sub
stituted for the regular nominee. Mr.
Patch will find that his kind of scheme
will not work. He is not likely to de-
ceive many and we doubt If he gets a
dozen votes in the county besides his
own. He ought not have single one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Phelps entertained the
"National Park tourists" Of this place
last evening with six o'clock dinner
Everything was very appropriately ar,
ranged to represent camp spread, In
stead Of the ground for table, the cloth
was spread on the floor, and decorated
with the usual camp outfit. When Ed
Sims, the cook, appeared with the same
tea pot that accompanied the party on the
trip. a shout arose from all. The even
ing was spent in singing the old camp
songs and renew many pleasant mem
cries of the trip. Many regrets We're ex-
pressed that other members Of the party
we're not present, especially Mr. and Mrs
Spitzcly Of Detroit. After spending an
enjoyable evening the party separated
hoping to meet in camp life again nex1
year.
THE REV. GEO. H. THAYER, OF
Bourbon, Ind, says: "Both myself and
wife owe our lives to SHILOH'S CON
