In the Heart of the
Bitter Root Valley

Hamilton will this year celebrate
Christmas with the best cheer that
has ever characterized any of her
previous observances of the day. She
has not only enjoyed the most prosper
Gus season in her history and witnessed
a growth that is encouraging, but she
has just come successfully out of a
county seat campaign that was con-
Quoted on her part in a clean and dig
nified tanner. She is now the seat of
government Of one of the most pros
porous and richly endowed counties in
Montana and her citizens naturally

in the front rank of the new cities of
the state. Her tributary territory is
the richest agricultural region in the
Northwest and the citizens of this dis
trict are progressive and energetic.
They are loyal to the Bitter Root val
ley and are earnest in their efforts TO
advance its interests. There has been
"A general awakening all along the line
this year. and Hamilton appears TO be
on the eve of a new era in her exist
ence. The natural advantages of the

those who have had the largest exper-
ience. hat had the movement contin-
ued. the water would certainly have
been several hours. probably several
days and perhaps years In wearing the
dam down to anywhere near the normal
river channel. From the fact thai tho
old dam did not go out. but after its
movement came to rest. took very near
~ its normal burden and carried it,
without further change for many
weeks. those who have studied the SUBJ

Up in the valley Of the Big Hole.
where the mountains approach each
other so closely that the valley between
them narrows DOWN to a canyon about
500 feet wide, there are now in progress
operations that are of the greatest i'm
portance to the city Of Butte in par
ticular and to all Western Montana in
general. Under the direction of +. T.
Sterling of Missoula. as receiver for the
Montana Power company, the big dam
of that concern is being hurried TO
completion and the immense power
plant below IL prepared for operation.
II is expected that the work will be
completed before March I and that the
electric current from this splendid
plant VIII be wired into Butte
for use for Illuminating and power
purposes. The history of the dam
is familiar To most of the Stand
ards readers. II was constructed
during 1897 and the winter of 1896. and

summer, but was damaged by the rush
of high water last spring and IL be-

moters Of the scheme have never lost
confidence in the proposition and are
now certain that the dam will not only
prove To be "A success, but viii be a
boon TO the city Of Butte, which IL Is
intended to supply with illumination
and power. The experience Of the sum
mer Of 1898. when "A portion OF the up

has rather strengthened this opinion
than otherwise. While IL is true that
the dam was moved a little on top by
the rush of waters. 1t is also true tina

into its new position. the dam carried
its burden without weakening and the
load imposed upon IL was probably the
heaviest tha IL will ever have To- carry.
as the stage ~ water was the highest
that has been known in the Big Hole
river.
As soon as the necessary steps could
be taken to put the affairs of the com
pany into shape. the work Of rebuilding
the dam was undertaken in earnest.
Receiver Sterling Is in personal charge
and supervision OF the work and the
engineering Is in the hands Of Joseph
II. Harper OF Butte. whose experience
in engineering I'm Montana has been ex-
tensive and fits him admirably for the
task that he has undertaken. About
200 men are now at work on the dam
and the power plant and no tire Is
being lost in getting things into shape
for active operations. The dam and it's
surroundings are busy places these
days and matters are assuming a tan
gible shape that is encouraging.

Buildings.
Hamilton is one Of the best built
towns in the state. Her business
streets are lined with substantial
structures that would be a credit to
an older town and her residence dis
trict contains many handsome homes.
The general appearance of the town
is attractive and the administration of
its affairs is such that great care is
taken of the streets and public ways.
The Lucas opera house Is a model and
has all of the appurtenances essential
to the production Of any piece that is
presented upon it's stage. The build
ing of the Ravalli county bank is a
substantial one and is elegantly fitted
for the business for which IL was con-
structed.' The large block of the An
aconda company's mercantile depart
ment Is one of the finest store build
ings in the state. The several depart
ments of this institution are well sit
uated and the facilities for the display
of goods are excellent.
Hotels.
The hundreds of visitors who spent
the summer in the Bitter Root this
year. coming from the cities n min
ing towns for fresh air and pure food
and water. will all testify to the SPLEEN
did accommodations that ere afforded
by the Ravalli hotel. This house is
conceded by all to be n model of its
kind. Its pleasant surroundings, broad
piazzas. spacious otunda and elegant
ly furnished rooms, together with the
excellence OF the dining room service.
have won for the Ravalli a reputation
that is enviable. Already, there are
many who are planning to spend their
summer vacation in the Bitter Root
with headquarters at the Ravalli.
There is certainly no more delightful
spot for a summer s%ojourn n a this
and no more satisfactory place to rest
than the Ravalli.
Ever since Hamilton has been a town

The new mill of the Hamilton Flour

and is now in successful operation.
This mill is under the of

and Is the most improved hat could

supply a limited amount of power fer
