The attention of our county
commissioners is directed to the commu-
nication from our special correspondent
at Upper Belt. This region lying between
Little Otter creek and Belt creek is eX-
ceedingly fertile and in the past year has
received more immigrants than any other
portion of the country-every desirable
piece of land Is now occupied, and MANY
of the settlers have families. The re-
quest of the people of the n%eighborhood
for a separate school district is reasonable
and timely and should receive just con-
side. alton.

cago, then a few weeks were pleasantly
spent with relatives in Indiana. The
party next went to California, where three
months were whiled away at Los Angeles,
River Side n San Bernardlno, in the
great orange belt Of that state. Mr.. Baker
is glad IT, gea back 30 Montana and say ,
he saw no country that suits him as well
or where a man can make a living so cas-
lily as he can here. This is their first visit
to the east, since coming out here. nine
years ago, but the land of their nativity
has lost many of its attractions, and they
are content to continue their fortunes
with the Golden state.
An inspiring sight may be seen at the
Alkali springs, about eight miles out on
the line Of the Great Falls IL Canadian
railroad. AT this point is the deepest cut
and heaviest grade between Great Falls
and Muddy creek. Here the Grant Broth
ers have twenty teams of fine horses, each
horse will weigh 1900 pounds or better.
These, with their new harness glistening
in the sunlight, and the new plows and
scrape y, give the beholder the idea of
power md agressiveness. Within q few
weeks he Grants will have teams and
men at work on the whole line to the Ca
madam boundary, and will arrange it so
that the entire grading will be finished
about the same time. When track laying
commences it will be pushed through
without delay. The carpenters now at
work on the Belt Mountain branch have
been advised to finish their work with all
possible expedition and get ready to do
the carpenter work on the road to Can.
