avenue and Main street paved
from the Northern Pacific station
up, as 0 as possible; and they want
the property abutting on that thorough
fare assessed for the cost OF the improve

they will vote for the new charter--the
only way by which they can secure i'm

of every foot Of property in the ward,

In arranging for a speech in Helena,
in the latter part of next month. by the
Hon. William L. Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, the Hendricks club has provided
a rich treat for the democrats OF Mon
tana. AS a scholar, an orator and
statesman, Mr.. Wilson has few equals in
public life to-day. Since Mr.. Carlisle's
election to the senate MI. Wilson has
been regarded as perhaps the best
equipped member of his party in the
house of representatives, and his mas
terly philippe on Speaker Reeds out
rageous rulings, at the opening of the
Fifty-tirst congress-, is a classic.

SEALED proposals will be received at
this office for a suitable name for the
lake on the Sixth avenue front of the
Power block. Mud lake would be a
strictly accurate nomenclature, but it is
not poetic. Lake Mossback is better,
and Lake Thompson has been suggested
as a neat compliment to the young o
progressionist, who divides with Fire
Marshal Worth the honors of leadership
against the new charter in the Seventh
ward. But perhaps a more euphonious
appellation than either can be suggested.

AS apologists for the extravaganza of

solely to an Intellectual attempt to justi-
fly the r~ecklessness. The people must
