HAMILTON NOTES.

Supervisor J. B. Weber of the Bitter
Root forestry reserve leaves Monday
morning for the purpose of meeting
Mrs. Weber, their young lady daughter
and son of IA, who are coming from the
East to make their home here. He will
go as far as Manhattan to meet them.
They will at once go to housekeeping in
the Sheriff. residence on Fourth street.
Louis May of Stevensville came up on
Saturday nights train. Mrs. May, who
is sister of Mrs. B. S. Chaffin, has been
visiting the latter for a week or two
and is somewhat under the weather
with an attack of tonsilitis, but will re-
turn to her home with her husband
Monday morning.
Hamilton people are very glad that
they will have a passenger train Mon
day morning, and that it will leave here
at a decent hour, but they will not be
thoroughly satisfied until the valley is
given a Sunday train. They feel that
the valley gives the railroad enough
business to warrant and deserve daily
train and mail, and, besides, that many
from Missoula and other points would
avail themselves of the Sunday service
to spend that day in the valley in the
summer if they could have the train.
