ever a protracted one, perhaps because II
was a horse railroad war. As the rival
companies pushed the work of laying
rails all night, the noise and excitemen,
was quite intense. 1t created a small
boom for some working men and thus,
perhaps, helped out some family's Sun
day meal, for the times are exceedingly
dull socially, financially and all other ways.
Wallace and 1hornburgh have tri-
umphed in the courts where the case

A resolution offered at the meeting
was to this effect: Resolved, That it is
the sense of this meeting that all remarks

by the chair.
As the motion was carried, it may be
inferred that some of those members who
we're formerly members of the old Board
OF Trade, have received some thrusts in
those meetings which have evidently
ranked. In fact, the harmony of the
few last meetings was conspicuous by its
absence and some of the members would
have liked to be conspicuous by their
absence on several occasions.
In the Independent appears this notice:

reservation. He is of medium height.

As these gentlemen, together with
Sir Hugh, are known everywhere as a
coterie OF yarn-spinners, friends in Great
Falls will be glad to learn that Hugh is
not ~irrecoverably lost, but has deserted to
his chum, Pete Roman, whom he is
"stuffing" and will probably return with
a new lot of yarns.
CIRCUS COMMENT.
We have had a circus. 1t was McMa-
hons. Every one said, II will wait for
Robinson's," and very few waited. The
feeling of almost pleasure in a circus,
to induce otherwise sensible
people to sit in the sitting heat, choking
with dust, on a board about four inches
wide, which leaves you with an agonized
pain as If the seat were a tight rope-that
is unexplainable. Both feelings.
