The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-04-20

| - 40 oCNCAdi udyS lOT the purpose OF
urging the county commissions to
complete the work already begun on
the court house park in Great Falls has
received many signatures and aroused
general interest. AS a result, the work
will be renewed Immediately and the
original plans carried out.
Mollie Thompson's dive in Great
Falls has been closed up at last and
the waman has departed for new fields
| to conquer. The detestable resort has
been an eyesore for many months and
now that Chief of Police Guerin has
closed the doors. the people of that
particular locality are especially graf
| flied.
Chinese Inspector Rogers has been
removed from the government service
and the office of inspector for this dis
trict is now vacant, pending the APP
polntment of Rogers successor. The
order of dismissal went into effect on
March 81, but for obvious reasons, the
matter has been kept quiet, and is now
given publicity for the first time,
through the Standard.
The Times respectfully calls the at
tention of Belt officers to the manner
in which nearly every one who passes
over the Belt creek bridge with a team
VI ives ii 0lIcCl NlOldllOn Oh the rules
and warning which is posted upon the
bridge, and thus endangering the lives
of children and passerspy, and adds:
Nearly every driver of a team appears
to think that the bridge was built ex-
pressly for track where they might
speed their horsefiesh. our officers are
certainly cogniZant of the above facts.
and 1t is their duty to enforce the rules
without fear or favor. If one or two
OF the fast drivers were called upon to
enrich the county treasurer by $25
which is the penalty, IL would put a
stop to fast driving and save a suit for
damages, If not a more serious offense,
which will certainly be the outcome If
stop is not put to it.
The Belt Times says that Contractor
Thomas Wynne has completed his con-
tract on the new church, which has
been accepted by the board of trustees,
who are highly pleased with the work
done under the supervision of Mr..
Wynne. All bills against the church
have been settled, leaving 1T free from
debt. This is certainly gratifying to
the Catholic residents and the commit
tee. There is yet considerable work to
be done, including the altar, seats,
plastering and the like. Bishop Bron-
del of Helena will be here on Monday,
April 20. In the evening the bishop de-
SiitS litt dllCuudIlCe Oh the 1dInOnC
residents of the camp at the church, TO
discuss the question of stationing a
priest here permanently. Mass will be
held at the usual hour Tuesday. The
ceremony of dedicating the new edifice
will also take place Tuesday.
The following delegates have been |
elected to the Cascade Trades and La |
Dor council by the Miners union of |
Belt: Archie Lochray, AL Blake, Will

Eynon; to the national convention at |
Denver, Ed McNally, alternate, Robert
Lewistown failed of incorporation at
Tuesdays election by reason of the fact
that many old residents were imbued
with the idea that the cost of main
tanning city or town government was
TAR in excess of the benefits that would
accrue from the advance in this direc-
ton. Both newspapers-the Argus and
he Economically supported the
movement for Incorporating, and the
editors have the satisfaction of know
ng their views were sustained by
nearly half of the voters-the majority
against Incorporation being one or two
1otes. Lewistown is a thrifty little
,ity, in an excellent country and will
continue to grow and prosper until in
corporation becomes an actual neces-
Jity.
Considerable feeling exists at Mel
TART over the result of the recent mu-
licipal election, and there is a DISPOSE
ION on the part of one or more alder
manic candidates to question the le-
'ality of the election of their more
uccessful opponents. A recount of the
ote in one or two wards has been or
cred.

He likes Barker very much,
ut as he is more interested in the
of boots and shoes and in
he banking business, he is not a good
liver man, and has given his interests :

Ienry, young men who we hope, are q
