and entsTpsising W. g. Hickey. under whose

Mr.. Hickey concluded last summer, after
thoroughly looking this ground over. that
while Helena was abreast the times in every
other respect, that In tho rnattcr Ut q we'll
ventilated, roomy, safe and modern stable
sho was far behind the times, iiotwithstand-
ing tho fact that good prices are charged
for the keeping Of horses and that In this
line there IL = large and constantly grow
ing business. He thcn Determined TO
give the city q stable that would answer all
the demands Of horsensn and 81 the name
time be al ornament to the city. In pur-
suance Of this Dissemination he selected az
the location Logan street and Twelfth ave-
nuc, and there he has put up q fOur-at0ry
building in which nothing has been neg
lected or overlooked which would add to It's
utility or tho comfort OF the animals which
structsd Of brick and stone, with walls
sufficiently thick to keep out frost. and a
thorough system Of ventilation, extending
from the first floor to the top of the fire
walls. The stable fronts ON Logan street
and IL convenient for patrons, whether
they live on the east or west side OF town.
The basement, entrance to which can be
had by elevator from the first floor. or
from tho street in tho rear, ia fitted DIP
with accommodation for sixty horses; in
cluding sig box stalls. i 10 splendidly
lighted by numerous windows, the stalls
are all roomy and AZ no carriaRes are kept
in this department there il no danger of
drafts as IL the case whom horses and car
rjapes are kept on the same fOOr. The
hrst floor will be used for carriages, and
here also is located the Office, waiting room,
robe room, harness room and washing de-
partment. 80 perfect is the ventilation
that there is no chance of the fumes from
the stable coming into this department. and
eating the varnish of carriages, as in the
majority of other stables. The third floor
10 also designed for stalls, and will accom-
eighty horses, and the fourth floor
will be used for the storage Of feed and ex-
ira vehicles.
The stable will be run for the present
as = boarding and sales stable, and
will be under the charge of Nj. A.. i. Nor
an, one of the most competent men in
his line in the state. Notwith-
the fact that the stable offers bet
ter accommodations than others in the city,
The terms will be the same-$3O o month. |
A number of horsemen and keepers of fam
ly rigs who have visited the stable have ex-
pressed their determination to patronize
The new enterprise; among them Mr.. Clark,
dealer in imported horses, who has made
to keep his stock in the
stable just as soon as the proprietor
IAN take care of them. Standing BY itself,
Is the stable does, there is but little danger
If a FIRE from the outside, while it will be
with electricity and in addition
are stand pipes with hose attached on
,ach floor. A big elevator running from
basement to the top floor, adds greatly
; . the st convenience 'a,,s''n of handling carriages
In building the stable Mr.. Hickey has
,hown commendable enterprise, arprecia-
ion Of which will be shown by the patron
.ge OF the people. Every one who boards a
horse should call and examine the stable
satisfy himself of its superiority over
in the state.
