Correspondence]-Mrs. James Page
and her daughter Nellie left for Kel-
sna, via Boulder, Wednesday, to select
. house in which to live. Since MIR.
Page has been appointed land agent,
he has concluded to move his family to
the capital city. They intend 70 move
in about two weeks. Mrs. Page and
Nellie will return this week and begin
preparations for the move, We regret
TO lose this family from our midst but
our loss is Helena's gain.
Little Miss Helen Pennington has
been quite sick for a week or more.
We trust she will soon %
A large force Of mechanics is putting
the finishing touches on the new G. f.
White store building. There is no
moss on Georges back when it comes
to erecting store buildings. 1t will be
the finest building OF its character in
southern Montana and Twin Bridges is
just the place fer it, Success to you,
George.
Thos. F. Pollard, the monopolizer o.
hotel facilities at our county seat, was
seen on our streets this week. Tom
has the ability to counterac. the pangs
OF appetite and-well, try him once.
Maj. Burge reports that the King
Mining company contemplates opening
up another OF their valuable leads. The
ore in the ones now opened is too base
fer mill reduction and needs a smel:er.
1t is fine ore however, and shipments
will be made regularly. The mill is
not idle for it is rushed with custom
work from other camps. Il is % long
felt want Supplied and the Blinn boys
know how to RIM it.
The summer Normal will close next
week. The term has been g very pro-
fitable one for those who attended, an6
those who have not, may regret it. The
attendance has 0 been so larre rs
was anticipated. Prof. BircharG tu&
much more encouragement than war
falfilleG. Those who are not abb 70
back their promises should not make
them. The expenses Of such q term
are just as much for 20 pupils as for 50,
while the revenueis radically different.
The benches are as brown as a wheat
cake but not so nutritious. Stock is
crowding into the hills and unless rain
comes soon, the effects will be serious.
The Beaverhead in the upper valley is
about dry and were it not for the stream
that crosses from the Big Hole, others
below would suffer.
The executive committee O. the Fair.
Association, and Supt. Pease are busy.
The reports from all parts Of this state
a Idaho are OF the most encouraging
character. Instead OF abandoning the
Fair these hard times" our people
not only intend TO maintain our pre-
vious record bat will 60 her one bet
ter. This year there will be four DAYS
instead OF three and the date has been
placed earlier than formerly. The
Fair will be September 3, 4, 5 and 6,
just when the moor is "chuck full"
The merry-go-rOund will go around:
the art pavilion will be filed with all
the pretty things; the vegetable halls
are being enlarged aud a fine display
il expected; the poultry house is a fine
place to exhibit fowls; the stockmen
can have hay for the feeding Of it; the
race track is receiving it's usual polish
