The Great Northern Ry. CO. is
doing an immense freight business
at present, and from 4 to 8 very
long trains pass here daily loaded
to their fullest capacity.
A passenger train struck a bunch
of cattle a mile west of here a few
nights ago, and there was beef a la
mode, hair mattresses and blood
galore for forty rods around the
vicinity.
Capt. R.. L. McGoaigal has pur>
chased the store and stock of goods
owned by H. A. Kennerly and will
ere long assume charge as post
trader. Mr.. Kennerly's duties as
collector of customs makes it nec-
essary for him to make this change.

L. W. Cooke, arrived on Thursday
having been east to St. Paul on a
visit. Mr.. Cooke is interested in
the mining properties at the head
of Mcdonald creek, in Flathead
county, and will assist in the work
of development now in progress.
Bear Chief, one of the progress
sive Piegans of this reservation,
broke forty r of sod last year,
and sowed it to grain this spring,
but owing to the unusually cold
season his crop is making but
small growth, and promises a poor
return for bis labor.

Harry Best is erecting a resi-
dence for himself near the Scott
and Lenahan block, which when
completed will make the G. N.
round house dwindle into lnsignifi-
cence. True it hasn't as many
windows as the last mentioned
building. but the effulgence which
beams from the face of genial Hal
will afford ample light for all pur-
poses.
On Tuesday Joseph Kipp shipped
a car load of stock, tools and gro
ceries to Bolton, from which place
the outfit will be conveyed to the
mining district at the head of Nc
Donald creek. Mr.. Kipp and ;
number of others are about to be
gin developing their immense cop
! per and silver leads at that point
and r will be shipped at no lat
day.
