Hamilton, April 14.-Yesterday morn
ing bright and early the new passenger
train started on the Bitter Root
branch. Ever since the first of the
year the citizens of Hamilton have beer
hoping that they would get a better
train service but now, although a pas
senger train has been put on, Ii Is
doubtful If the service will be any bet
ter than 1t was before. Under the old
service the mail reached here any
where between $50 and s o'clock and
now Ii will not reach here until 8
O'Clock p. m. Then, 700, the "snail''
left here at O'clock a. m. and now in
order to take the train in the morning
II is necessary to get out of bed before
O'Clock in the morning. AS a matter
of fact the conditions of the travelling
public of Hamilton are bettered but
little by the new train, and the freight
train will probably be resorted to as
frequently by travellers as will the reg
ular passenger train. Hamilton is not
disposed to complain about small mat
tiers, but the compliance with her re-
quest for a passenger train is in this
instance very much like asking for
bread and receiving a swift kick. &
The brickwork of the first story OF
the new hotel is completed and carpen-
tiers were at work yesterday placing
lumber for laying the second floor. The
contractors are bound to complete, the
building and have ii ready to occupy
within a hundred days from the time
the foundation was finished. and In
order to do this II requires rapid work.
Ii is just a week since the bricklayers
began working and the contractors are
confident that they can easily complete
the building within the specified time
II they are only able to progress In the
work as rapidly as they have since
they began.
The new Catholic church which was
begun a week ago has gone up at a
rapid rate and the building will in all
probability be entirely enclosed in an
other week.
The carpenters of Hamilton, like all
the rest of her citizens are on the rush,
and tits really wonderful, the short
time in which they can complete a
building. Three weeks ago they began
laying the foundation for a 16-room
house for Mrs. Dorrell and to-day the
house is almost complete, with the ex-
ception that one or two rooms are not
yet plastered and there is but one coat
of Paint on the building. f
The residence of DR.. Minshall in
Fourth street, is almost ready for the
roof and when completed will be one
of the handsomest in the city. al- au
There is some talk of an Episcopal
church being Du1lt here during the
summer. Lots for the church were do
mated by the townsite company some
time ago and a movement is now on
foot to get the church built and ready
for occupancy by the early fall. This
year promises to be a good one for
church building in the city. The new
Christian church was dedicated only a
few Sundays ago. The Catholic church
will be completed soon and the ar
rangements now being made for the
building of an Episcopalian church.
All of which speaks well for the NOR
ais of the town.
District court at Stevensville is in
session and the legal fraternity of
Hamilton is represented there. There
are not great many cases set down
for trial at this term but one or two
of them are important and of general
interest The locally celebrated water
suit comes up for hearing at this term
as will also a criminal case against ].
