Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1889-07-31

which the Tribune printed on Saturday,
shows an increase IN the totals of $780,
700 over those of year ago-that is, the
banks resources have increased to that
extent. This is remarkable showing
for a bank which is only three years old. It
is due largely to the fact that people who
do their trading here now keep their bank
accounts here as well. Formerly such
money would be sent to Helena or else
where for lack of a nearer bank.
Five aldermen, namely: Hickory, Gin
ton, Hotchkiss, Germ and johnson met
today in the council chamber, Mayor
Fairfield presiding. This special meet
ing was held as Mayor Fairfield and AL
herman Webster are going away and it is
understood that there will be no meeting
tomorrow evening. The city hall plans
were presented, but as the people are
much divided on the subject, it was de-
cided to do nothing more for fortnight.
1t was resolved to establish a new refuse
ground and to prepare a sanitary ordin
ance.
Mayor Fairfield, III. 0. Cnowen, Phil
Gibson and G. M. Webster took their de-
parture today for Minneapolis. The
mayor goes on urgent business and will
he gone about two weeks; Messrs. Gibson
and Chowen are called to the Twin Cities
on very important business and they
promise the TRIBUNE first class item of
news on their return: Mr. Webster, who
has been quite i'll for some weeks, goes
back to his old home to recuperate and
his hosts Of friends here will join with the
TRIBUNE i'll wishing that he will soon re-
gain his health and return to Great Falls
The disgruntled little sheet published
at the old crossing OF Sun river is doing
some vigorous Kicking about the mails;
in fact, it seems to live for no other pur-
pose. Although the mails from the east
aud west leave here the same day they
arrive, reaching Sun river at o'clock D.
H., the sheet in question is not happy and
continues to howl by the column about
the Inconvenience Of the mail service
The editor, it seems, was chiefly instr,l
nhntai in having the schedule of the
Great Falls, Sun river and Choteau line
changed from day to night, and the result
is the coaches stop at Sun river while
the mall is being changed, while hereto-
fore that was the dinnerssstation. The
loss to Sun River is estimated at $10,00Oa
year, and one of the direct results is the
closing of the only hotel in the town.
Sun river people have themselves, or
rather few cranks, to thank for this
state of affairs, and the "kicll' being made
now comes with poor grace.
Professor F. W. Anderson of this city,
has had the honor of being selected from
among many others to make the illustra-
tions for new scientific work now in
preparation by the two greatest mycolo-
gists whose special province is the study
Of fungi, including the great mushroom
family, on this continent. There will be
100 illustrations. displaying the genera OF
"North American Pyrenomycetes" The
illustrations will all be original and will
have to be worked out under powerful
microscope. The remuneration for this
piece of botanical art will be between
$4,000 and $4,000. Professor Anderson
has just been reappointed as special
agent in Montana, of the Agricultural de-
partment. He has employed boys to
gather under his directions, seeds in quan
tity of all the really valuable Montana
grasses. These seeds will be sent to the
department at Washington whence they
will be distributed to the leading Agricul-
tural Experimental farms throughout the
middle and western states, to be tested
and developed by proper cultivation. 1t
is gratifying to find Montana ability thus
employed and appreciated.
