what diseases and ailments they are good
for, n then let the world know about
them. If | can get the doctors l want for
the B~roadwater, men who understand how
the water out there should be used so as to
be of the most benefit, l will make any i'm
provements or alterations they may think
are necessary so that the benefioent powers
of the springs may be best utilized. When
we can use the various springs in Montana
intelligently, as they do in Europe, we will
have made a big start toward making Mon.
have a fair trade of this sort this
summer. l know, because I have re-
ceived a number of letters from parties in
the east who intend to visit Montana for
pleasure. This sort of business is we'll
worth looking after. It made southern
California; has a great deal to do with Col
orado's prosperity and Montana should and
will be benefited in the same way. While
l have no particular plans about the Broad
water this summer, save in connection with
the use of the water, still I propose to see
that nothing is left undone which will add
to it's popularity" ~
If Helena gets the Congregational COL
lege it will be because she is willing to do
more to secure its location than any other
Montana city. The offers are to be opened
on the 18th. and it is expected the question
will be settled at that time. Bozeman has
offered a site of 300 acres, Great Falls is
also in the competition and Missoula
is willing to give m to secure it.
Several Helena offers have been
made, among them being one of
j. J. FAINT, two by Bradford & Ames,
and Peter Winnie will also offer a site.
Those having the matter in charge are in
clined to favor Helena, other things being
equal. 1t is thought that if sufficient en-
couragement is given by home people to
inauRurate such an institution in Montana
that the eastern connection of the denom-
nation will aid it with a cash donation of
$5O,0O0. The prize is worth securing. Hell
any other own in the state.
Last year those in charge of the Cath
Ollie schools in Helena purchased some
ground adjacent to the city for the purpose
of building a college. Nothing was done
last year, but an effort will be made to make
a beginning this season. Bishop Brondel
said yesterday that just SO soon as the faith
ers could see their wav clear to make a
start they would N on the college
building and he thought they might be able
to do 80 very soon. The same denomina-
ton will build another church this wear,
having purchased -four lots in the Broad
water addition for that purpose. Work on
this building will this summer.
T. F. Matthias, of the firm of Heinlein &
Matthias, architects, referring to the build
ing outlook this year, yesterday, said he
looked for just as much activity as there
was last year. "It is May or June" he
continued, "before people commence To
make up their minds decidedly about build
ind and the result is that we are rushed
from then till late in the fail. just now
We are finishing up the work started last
fall, and as new work has not yet com
menced to come in, We are in onsequen
taking it easy. We have just completed
the plans for a hospital to be erected by
DR.. Dogge. 1t will cost $4,000, be of brick
with stone trimmings, and the probability
is that work will commence on it very soon.
Here are the plans for two business blocks,
one for a corner, to cost from $4,000 to
SGT, 900. / am not at liberty to tell you the
name of this owner just now, but it shows
that things are moving"
