1T is learned that the fathers and pu-
pills at st. Peters mission who were re-
ported seriously ill with pneumonia are
all convalescent. At one time it was
feared that several of the cases would
terminate fatally. but with the excellent
care and medical attention they re.
ceived they mastered the disease and are
on the way to complete recovery.
G. Fl. Pearson, a prominent northern
Choteau county wool grower, returned
yesterday from a winters visit to his old
home at Rockford. III. Mr.. Pearson re-
turns more than ever pleased with Mon
tana and its people, for while he enjoyed
his visit he found no place which filed
the bill so well as the glorious climate of
this great state.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Conrad left for the
east on Sunday mornings west bound
train. They go via Salt Lake City and
Denver, and after visiting Washington
and the principal Atlantic seaboard cities
they will return via. st. Paul and Great
Northern. Mr.. Conrad will combine
business with pleasure during his absence
and enjoy a rest which his long and unin-
%terrupted attention to his vast business
interests in this city has rendered ALSO
lutely necessary.
Mr.. Perrin Epperson of Belt is circu
lating a petition to present to the COM
missioners of this county, praying for
the construction of a steel and iron
bridge across Belt creek at the present
crossing of the Great Falls and High
wood wagon road. The bridge would be
a great accommodation to ranchers and
stockmen on the other side Of Belt. as
many of them who would bring their
wool and produce to this city have been
compelled to haul them to Fort Benton
on account of the unsafe crossing at that
point on the creek. The petition is be-
ing numerously signed by the large tax
payers of this city.
Last fall Father Dolls planted a Hol-
land tulip at his residence near the
Catholic church in this city. and after
covering it with a layer of stable refuse
and a board, left it to battle with the
frosts of winter. He uncovered it a few
days ago and found it not only alive but
sending out a vigorous stem. 1t being
the first of the kind planted at Great
Falls, the father is much pleased with
his experiment and will doubtless propa-
gate others from the parent stalk. The
reverend gentleman also planted a Rus.
sian weeping mulberry this spring which
he is watching with great interest. 1t
is a beautiful tree and if they succeed
here will add another to the many trees
which will flourish III this climate.
On the Pacific extension of the Great
Northern road the end of the track is

Pana, Marion. Haskells Pass, Pleasant
Valley, Lakeview, La Cledr, Atlanta,

pell and Spokane will be closed about
May 20.
