transfers made every week be a critic
rion, there is considerable activity in
Red Lodge real estate. Mrs. John l..
Burns has just bought of the Conrad
estate the town hall building and 3pt
on which IL stands, paying therefQfk The
ridiculously low price of $225. whnffis
known OF the Conrad estate" is the
relict of the Conrad bank. which is now
in the hands of a receiver. and every
thing goes to a cash buyer. 1t was this
estate that made 1t possible FOR Car
bon county to get a court house on
such terms as practically meant a gift
TO the taxpayers.
Surveyors have been at work all
week stalking out the streets and cor
ners all over town. This is prepara-

presumed to be in favor of setting the
town TO rights at once. The sooner II

County Assessor II. c. Proomse has
4..u 81 III A..
Carbon county property. He has
big county to go over. but he has a
short time TO do IL in. The new county
coming into existence on May 1. he has
two months less time for his work
than the assessors of the other courl4
ties OF the state. Some ldca AZ nm
rapid advancement of this} karttoffhe
state may be gathered frorh1t be1 k&&ge
that has taken place within the past
five years. When Mr.. Proomse moved
up from the Yellowstone five years ago
he did not pass a single house in the
whole distance of A miles. Now there
is a. string of improved ranches for the
whole distance.
