The back tax notices are causing vast
amount of annoyance to the people in
this section of the county. In a very few
cases, however, parties have pleaded
guilty and have forwarded the amount
claimed; but in large majority of cases
recipients of these notices have expressed
themselves in language that does not look
well in print
A number of Deer Lodge people,
among them Rev. w. M. Jordan, Mr.. and
Mrs. e. Scharnikow, Miss Ethel Wood
and the Misses Humber, drove up to Race
Track last Friday evening TO attend the
entertainment given in l. o. G. T. hall by
members Of the Christian church of that
neighborhood. The entertainment is said
to have been very enjoyable one.
The ball given at the court house on
st. Patrick's night, under the direction of
young ladies Of Deer Lodge, was largely
attended and was very enjoyable affair,
doing credit to the young ladies who were
instrumental in getting it up and making
it a pronounced success. The music was
good, neat lunch was served, and all
present enjoyed themselves to the ut
most.
The ranch advertised for rent in The
New NORTHWEST by Byron Wood was
taken last week by gentleman from An
aconda. He saw the advertisement in
this paper and came down and closed the
bargain with Mr.. Wood. We erred two
weeks ago in stating that it was the "Mul-
Ian ranch" We should have referred to
it as the Finley ranch, few miles north
of town.
The concert last Friday evening at
Cottonwood hall, under the direction of
Miss Petersen of the college, though a
very enjoyable affair, was not largely at
tended, owing to the severe weather. The
different numbers of the program showed
care aud study on the part Of instructor
and pupil, and were we'll received. The
receipts from the sale of tickets was much
larger than expected.
Considerable money changed hands
among the local sports on the result of
the Corbett Fitzsimmons fight. One man
told US he lost 500 on the fight. 81

St. Patrick's day was a quiet one in
Deer Lodge, although quite a number OF

OF the patron saint of Ireland seemed tc

people on the streets by their discussion
of the probable winner at Carson, and the
bulletin boards were we'll patronized by
eager men from first to last
