A train of ore and other material 9
to the smelter every day, showing thu
company is massing immense quantities
of material during the temporary close
down. When operations are resumed
they will doubtless be on extensive scale,
with every furnace and stack in opera
ton.
I. W. Thompson of the TRIBUNE, re-
turned today from the east where he
made q pleasant s%ojourn of six weeks
with friends and relatives in Indiana and
Ohio. Mr.. Thompson is ready to give
testimony that in his opinion Montana is
the first state III the Union in climate,
and all other essential things.
The building Of the great dam in the
time specified is simply a matter of men
and money. The former are readily pro-
cured, and the financial part OF the propo-
sitiOn is OF course a simple matter to the
company engaged in this great enterprise.
All the men that can work to advantage
will be employed and the number will
range from 200 to 800 after the project is
we'll under way.
M. j. Nowlan, who for several months
past has been night clerk at the Park ho-
tel and who has gained a host of friends
here by his gentlemanly and courteous
demeanor, has accepted a position with
Read Bros. of Minneapolis and will leave
for that city in two or three days. He
left for Helena today and after a brief
sojourn at the capital will go east over
the Great Northern.
The handsomest plat we have yet seea
Is that of West Great Falls, which DR..
Crutcher is exhibiting today with a good
deal of %pardonable pride. 1t has in one
corner a magnificent view CT the Great
falls and shows to fine advantage the
townslte, West Great Falls addition, the
location OF the dam, smelters, etc. In all
its details the plat is finely executed, be-
ing the work Of Rand, Mentally & Co. of
Chicago.
Yesterday Sheriff Sullivan of Lewis
town went down to Big Sandy, where he
arrested "Curly" Fuller, who is charged
with robbing Tom Moore's residence at
Lewistown about March 9Th. Mr.. Sulli-

$4,75O. There is q one-story frame build
ing on the property. The lot was owned
by Messrs. Fairfield, Kingsbury and
Blankenbaker. DR.. Took, who, with Mr..

ago, has evidently better faith than ever
in Great Falls.
Architect John Clinton showed us to-
day the front elevation and general plans
of the Park hotel annex, and also of j. d.
Cores three-story stone hotel. The draft
ing is something superior in that line, and
is the work of Mr.. Clinton and his assist
ant, Mr.. Norman. The Park hotel an
mex will be a handsome structure of rs
feet frontage on Central avenue and $50
feet in depth. 1t will be three stories in
height, and when completed will present
a fine appearance. The front will be of
r o and pressed brick, with galvanized
iron cornice. The design is a handsome
one, and the building will doubtless be
one OF the most attractive On Central ave-
nue.. Workmen are now busily engaged
making the excavation for this structure.
Messrs. Taylor and Floweree arrived
from Montana this week to look after a
number of their cattle that have drifted
across the boundary line during the Sc
we're weather. 1t seems that, at n time
there were some 1900 head of Canadian
cattle south of the line, and now there are
about the same number OF American cat,
tie north of the line. Messrs. Taylor and
FlOweree are anxious to get their cattle
back, and came over to see Canadian cat.
tie owners, not wishing to put the latter
to any inconvenience. As the country In
the vicinity of the line fills up with cat
tie on both sides, there will necessarily be
a good deal of intermixing, and it is sat
isfactory to know that the customs au
thorities are not inclined to regard Thu
as a breach of the law, unless there il
