have a creamery and pork packing
establishment at once, and that there
is room for both and will prove most
successful enterprises in the metropolis
of Galldtin county cannot be doubted.
There has been a cry going up from
this valley for both of these industries
for three years now, the ranchmen
having been upon the point a number
of times of starting stock companies
among themselves to handle their milk
and hogs. The two enterprises would
not go together very WELL but both
plants will be put in by the same COM
pany the Benepe, Owenhouse company
having taken the thing in charge and
they will begin butchering hogs this
week.
A professional butcher and packer
has been secured to take charge of this
work, he is already upon the ground
and will superintend the construction
of two-story packing house which is
10 be erected near the f. l.. Benepe
elevator, just north of the Northern
Pacific passenger depot. The Benepe
Owenhouse company has 500 hogs at
its elevator and these will be butch
cred in lots of 40 and so during the
next few weeks, this number being
about all they can handle well at one
time until the packing house is COM
pleted. This opens up a splendid home
market for hogs and will increase the
number raised in this valley MANIFOLD
during the next few years, while local
merchants will find 1t unnecessary to
ship their hams, bacon, etc., from
Omaha and eastern points.
The creamery is to be the finest that
can be obtained, machinery of the best
known makes having been ordered, and
this will be In running order by the
time the grass is green next spring.
This plant will cost about $1,000 and
will also be located in this city. The
site has not been chosen, however, as
yet. If there is not good butter in
Bozeman and some to spare to neigh
boring cities Hrter this plant gets to
running, it will not be the fault of the
owners, who intend to turn out only
a gilt edge article. They will also
make cheese as soon as practicable.
1t has been known for a number of
years that to get a better return for
their labor the farmers of this valley
must turn their raw material into
something marketable; into beef, pork
mutton, poultry, butter or cheese, and
Director Emery of the experiment sta
tion has been earnestly advocating and
illustrating this since the opening of
the farm and experimental work here
three years ago.
70. l.. Park of this place has decided
to go out of the restaurant business
in the very near future, having receiv-
ed word this week from the East of a
neat little fortune having fallen to him
through the death of a distant relative.
Nearly year ago his mothers uncle,
Charles Root, formerly a banker at
Quincy, ILL.,, died and Mr.. Parks moth
er being dead her share of the de-
ceased's estate will fall to her children.
Mr.. Parks share of this being about
$4,000. When Mr.. Park heard of the
death OF Charles Root, he placed no
SiQni finanpn m he h
of his estate comes as a very happy
surprise to him at this time. The es-
tate will be divided some time in
March and Mr.. Park will probably
move east soon to look after his in
terest.
Lang Get, Chinaman who ran a
China store on Main street, just oppo-
site the postofflce, died very suddenly
here ON Monday morning. He was by
far the best Chinaman in this city,
having always sought the companion-
ship of Americans rather than his own
countrymen, and he had many friends
among the better class of citizens here.
Mike O'Connell, who runs the Northern
Pacific Express company's delivery,
went into Gets" store with a package
and while Get was signing for ii he
noticed a cut near one eye and asked
Get what caused it. Get said that he
had tainted away and hurt his eye by
hands to his head and exclaimed that
1t was coming again" and at the
same time he fell forward. Mr.. Nc
Connell caught him and letting him
down carefully, he got help, when ii
was found that Get was dead.
The coroner believed his death was
due to heart failure. but those who
knew Get fear ne may have ended his
Gown life, as he had been very despond-
ent of late, owing to his having a large
stock of goods and his holiday sales
having been very light. He owed $500
on his stock and feared he would have
to give ii up and go back to day labor.
Get worked for Charles Fransham OF
this place for five years and Mr.. Fran
sham had not only a very kindly feel
ing for him but had done him many
kindnesses, even endorsing notes for
him at the bank. Get was very con-
scientious, he dressed and talked like
a white man, was very neat in his
ways, never touched opium and in 10
years residence in Bozeman had been
In every respect a good Chinaman.
Attorney Will G. Fleischhauer went
over to Livingston Sunday on legal
business and to visit his sister Mrs
Stark of that place.
