MORE FISH FOR THE LAKES
Would be a Good Plan to Stock Some
In this Vicinity WOmen's
Club Hold a Meeting

In the east the railroad companies are
stocking lakes and streams on their lines
with fish, for the benefit of patrons of
their respective roads. Should the, North
ern Pacific find it to it's advantage to
follow up this method they could find no
better place. thar Rock Creek lake, 10
miles west of this city. There is a good
road leading to it and at times fishing is
very good. the fish being very large and
gamey, but there should be more fish
put in each year. The lake is more than
a mile long. a half mile wide, and the
scenery as good as one would wish TO
enjoy. 1t is among the pretty mountain
lakes of the northwest, with excellent
camping facilities. The trip from Deer
Lodge is a most pleasant one. The
Northern Pacific should give this matter
some attention, if it does seem a little
out of place for a railroad company to
go into the fish business.
The ladies of the Women's club had
their regular meeting on Tuesday night
at the home of Mrs. Joslyn. The usual
quotations were given in answer to roll
call. At the request of the club. Mrs.
Simpson read an account of the Dillon
S~hakespearean club. Mrs. Bell then gave
a most excellent and very entertaining
review Of Silas Warner. George Eliot
has painted the picture with a master
hand, making the characters much like
those we meet in real life. The review
was so complete that all felt it was just
as good as reading the book. Many in
cidents in the life of Georges Eliot were
then given by different members OF the
club. The ladies' will meet with Mrs.
Joslyn during the month of May.
For nerve, the genuine article, the
Deer Lodge chicken thief takes the cake.
A few days ago lobe Schurtz bought "a
of a fine breed Of chickens from Charley
Joyce, the we'll known Butte tonsorial
artist. Mr.. Schurtz didn't go after them
at once, and when he. did yesterday. he
found six of the birds left. He is usually
good natured, but this was too much for
him. and lie thinks the thief might have
left him one rooster. lobe is red head
ed over the affair. Lucas, of, Beaunont's
market, also had his ~ chicken house
cleaned up by thieves last night. Officers
think they. have a clue which will bring
the guilty. parties to justice.

yesterday. He. lived here eight years
ago and built the Lodge and Beaumont
block, the O'Neifl block n several Other
prominent business buildings in town
Mr.. Triggs suffered the loss of his wife

The old COMMIT corner building is beins

tMessrs. Conley & McTague, and you
correspondent is informed that it is tt

location. China Tom has also re-openet

The tearing away of the front of on
