Mrs. Gertrude G.. Dean, of the
Dupuyer hotel, has been on the
sick list this week.
Go to Fry's, at Bynum, and buy
a cobbler's outfit, and mend your
own boots and shoes at bone. Z
John Shepherd has recently re-
turned from the east, where he
went to have his eyes treated by
a specialist. Tie received but
very little benefit.
An important irrigation deal is
being talked about, which, if car
ried to completion, will be of great
benefit to this section. The Acan-
tina is not at liberty, at the present
time to give any of the particulars.
Shortly after quitting work last
Monday evening j. W. England
was taken seriously i'll with heart
trouble, and has been confined to
his bed since. Grandpa's many
friends hope for his speedy re-
covery.
Walter S. Clark came over from
the ranch yesterday looking for
men to help during Landing. AS
Dupuyer car furnish anything on
demand, he returned to his home
in the afternoon with three exper-
fenced men. Mr.. Clark says that
during the recent heavy storms
the loss of lambs was quite large.
Dupuyer's p]rospectors are anx-
iously looking forward to the time
when they car get into the hills,
and commence their summers
work. The Birch creek country
will be thoroughly prospected this
season, and if there are any valu-
able mineral deposits in that
region the boys will certainly run
across it.

which several persons were badly
used up. AS a matter of fact no

conductor on the narrow gauge

damphool, and "loaded' him.
The talk of establishing a tie
camp in the Birch Greek canyon
this summer is again being re-
vlved. The Great Falls & Canada
Railroad expect to widen the guage
this year, and Dupuyer parties are
figuring on furnishing the ties.
The timber in this canyon is of the
best quality for this purpose, and
can easily be driven down Birch to
the railroad.
The rain and snow during the
past week has been of incalculat-
able benefit to the ranges, but has
been very eve on those engaged
in the sheep business. Many Of
the ~f1ockmasters estimate that they
will not be able to save more than
so or 60 per cent. of this years
crop of lambs. However, as a
good crop of grass and hay is
practically assured, their loss will
b. but temporary.

A large number of our citizens
have expressed themselves as being
in favor of celebrating the Fourth
of July in Dupuyer this year. FoI
