SPRAY OF THE FALLS.
From Wednesdays Daily.]

Harry r. Taylor purchased 5 lots IN
West Great Falls yesterday for $4,000.
Doctors Gordon and Newman have
formed a partnership. Their office will
be in the room now occupied by DR.. Cor
don. Both are popular physicians and
will have large practice.
J.. M. Meadow and G. e. Buell. arrived
here today with three a loads of milk
COWS. These COWS are thoroughbreds
and high grades of the Short Horn and
Jersey breeds and are fine specimens.
About thirty of the COWS have calves and
the rem luder will have calves in a short
time. Persons desiring good milk COWS
will do we'll to call at the Eclipse and see
this herd. Some of the cows have a rec
ord of az pounds of butter per day.
Messrs. Nelson and Brant OF the Mon
tana Smelling company force, returned
today to the city. For the past two weeks
they have been engaged in driving q
band of horses from the Tiger Butte
range to Wolf creek, to the ranch of Mr..
Gleason. These horses were purchased
by Val Laubenheimer and Mr.. Gleason
from Harry Child. Nelson and Brant
have purchased Mr.. Child's cattle (rang-
ing near Tiger butte) and will owe
them to "Squaw" Johnson's ranch near
Kibbey, which they recently purchased.
1t is q settled fact among knowing
ones that the Northern Pacific Railroad
company will be compelled to extend .
line to Great Falls during the coming
summer. The route from Billings north
has already been surveyed and is easy of
construction and would command a great
local trade. The best route, however,
between the Yellowstone and the Catar-
act city Is via Shields river, White Sui
phur Springs and the Smith river valley.
This would be short and easy, but it IL
probable, after all that has been said
about this and the Judith valley route
that the road will go from Helena.-Hus-
bandman.
.Bradstreet's report on the wool market
has been received in town. 1t is dated
Saturday and says: more buoyancy ap'
pears in the Boston wool market than fol
several weeks past. New York and
Philadelphia, however, show no change
from the uncertainty and depression
which have prevailed for so long. Ever
at Boston the improvement Is more II
anticipation of greater activity than II
any actual gain. Values hold steady
throughout the list. Fine 1eeces Ar
dull. Wool of the spring clip in Cali
fornia is selling on last years level
Shearing is in progress in Texas, and thu
condition of the output is said to be OK
cellent. Carpet wool has sold to 8. con
siderable extent in the New York market
The Helena Journal says that "Grea

electing the entire republican municipa
ticket by. an Overwhelming majority
Both parties made an earnest fight TO
tanced." The Journal is wrong. W
charitably hope that it suffers only iron
lnvincible ignorance. In the first plac
Alderman Bridges, 9 democrat, wa
elected. In the next place there was n
"earnest fight" on either side. The re
publicans polled only 252 votes for alder
men; the democrats only 157. The dem
~ocrats endorsed Mr.. Dickerman becaus
of his personal popularity and ftnes'
which showed that there was no "hght.
The Journal had better call the Who'll
contest "a draw"
II is n open secret that the Gre'
Northern railway magnets have an ey
upon the great mineral field of Smlt
river and will push forward from Ne

belt from the time it reached Martin
ranch and would enjoy the splendid loo
travel of Barker, Neihart, Middle For
