Tho Belvidere House Draws the Line on
Monaghan Help.
Duncan Mcdonald, proprietor of the
popular Belvidere House, has discharged all
of his Chinese help and will have no more
of them in any department. He has secured
the very best employees in every depart
ment of the house, and feels assured that
the change will be appreciated by his pat
rons. Mrs. Mcdonald looks out for the
comfort of guests in every way and ably
seconds her husbands efforts in seeing that
nll who GENE to the Belvidera 90 away
pleased. Conveniently located to the Mon
tan Central depot and on the line from
the Northern Pacific up town, the Belvidero
with the Steamboat annex, is proving a
drawing card. 1t has two things to recom-
mend it, the sleeping rooms leave nothing
to be desired, while the restaurant, run on
the European plan, is one of the best in the
city. Add to these the reasonable rates and
you nave an explanation of the success of
the house since Dunc. Mcdonald took
charge.

excellent selection the Board of Trade
made Ia evidenced by tho following extracts
from the Cmur 'Alene Miner, in giving nm
account of the celebration ut Wallace:
Arthur ]. Craven, Of Helena. WINS the ora
tor OF the day. He spoke for an hour. His

unanimous verdict that it was a grand ora
tion. There WAS nothing stale or
place about it. While it dealt with old
themes, II presented them in new shape
and in such beautiful Language that not for
ono moment was the interest Of the audi

Editorially the same paper says: "Ihe

Montana speaker on the occasion of their
celebration a week ago. Richard Jockey,

dent. interested themselves and induced
Arthur J.. Craven, of hat city, to accept
our invitation. 1t was a happy choice
these gentlemen made. II the northwest
had been searched a man could not have
been found who would have delivered an
Grafton better adapted to the occnaion or
more pleasing to the audience. There has
been much comment on the Grafton since
it's delivery. and by those, too, who are
competent to judge. The unanimous
opinion ia that IL was, n model Fourth OF
July Grafton, a mastery production. Mr..
Craven is a young man, n lawyer of but a
few years' practice. He has been a resi-
dent of Helena seven years. To nearly all
the people of Wallace he WAS en- entire

THE THREE BLACK CROWS STORY.
Its Application to the Condition of Af-
fairs i'm the Dak0tas.
As Good Opportunities there as in Iowa
and Minnesota.

The ancient story of man who
was reported to have swallowed three
black crows, but which alarming
statement on being run down was
found to have been the simple asser-
ton that he had swallowed some
thing as black as crow, frequently
finds it's parallel in these days of
wide dissemination of rumors and
reports by the daily press, Among
the unconscious exaggerations of the
passing hour, is the association that
has been given to the very name
Dakota" with the words drouth
and famine. Facts, however, will
prove the fallacy of such general i'm
preston, and demonstrate many
counties in the Dabotas to have had
good crops for succession of years.
Especially is this true of the vicinity
of Sioux Falls, and of Minnehaha and
certain other counties in South Da-
kota. They are separated from Iowa
and Minnesota by imaginary lines
only; the rain falls upon that por-
tion of South Dakota precisely the
same as it does in Iowa and Mime
sofa, and the climate and soil there
is also precisely the same as that of
Iowa and Minnesota. Notwithstand-
ing this similarity,so wide has the fall
lacy in regard to dakota" spread,
that excellent prairie land can be
bought in South Dakota for $40 an
acre, while across the Imaginary line
line between, in Iowa, $40 per acre
is the prevailing price for precisely
the same land.
Right here is an opportunity for
the enterprising, industrious farmer
to investigate for himself the posi-
bilities of the country mentioned, and
by availing himself of this Fictitious
low value, TO make not only good
living, but to accumulate a hand
some property. Those who have
tried it and know, say it can be done.

information on this subject, address
