Complaint is made that the road to the
Giant spring and Smelter and to the
great falls, on this side of the river, is in
bad condition. This is a highway that is
much travelled daily, the Commissioners
should see to it that it is put in tirst-class
condition. The favorite of all drives
about GIeat Falls Is from the city to the
Giant spring, Smelter and Rainbow falls
the road should be in excellent con-
dition at all times.
MIR. James Wilmot of the Great Falls
company, who has been engaged
in taking off an abstract of Choteau
county records affecting property now
within the boundaries of Cascade county,
left for home yesterday, having been with
US for some five weeks or more. Mr.. Will
mot, in addition to being an intelligent
and companionable gentlemen, is one of
the most thorough and competent alb
stract men in the state. We hope to see
him in Benton u!ten.-River Press.
Capt. Doud will soon take a train on
Great Falls g. Canada railroad. He
will for a time run an engine and later
have charge of one of the trains. As a
engineer Mr.. Doud has a
record which is we'll shown by
the fact that for two years he handled one
OF the big Moguls on the G. p. r. Noun
tain division, crossing the Kicking Horse
pass, where only men of special engine
ering qualifications and of ample nerve
we're required. The captain is now out
Of politics. His ambition to be marshal
Of Montana has wholly subsidized, and his
faith in he promises of republican poll.
