stay in the county seat.
Newton Chaffin, the big wool grower
of Victor, was in town Saturday after
supplies. Mr. Chaftin has not COM
menced shearing yet but will get at 1t
the coming week.
District court convenes on Wednes-
day, and jury. trials Will be the order
for week or more. The sheriff and
deputies have been busy all the latter
part Of last week summoning jurors
and witnesses and some have had hard
trips by reason of the high water.
Scott Sheriff. of Sula was a visitor
in town Saturday.
Ferd Weir, late chairman of the
board of commissioners, was in town
Saturday. Mr.. Weir has developed into
| quite a capitalist and is one Of the best
heeled men in the valley. He is also
one of the best liked.
B. G. Swift, Butte; C. ]. Springer,
| Spokane, and A. n. Bowers, Chicago,
| are among the Hamilton hotel guests.
| Quite number of our young folks
enjoyed themselves at the home of Mar
| tin F'laherty, on Seventh street, last
| Saturday evening.
Improvement is the order of the day
| in Hamilton, and the last to catch the
idea is Walter Pell, the well known
painter artist. Mr.. Pell has in con-
| temptation the remodeling and enlarge
| ment of the residence property owned
| by him on Third street. and next to his
| place of business.
The county commissioners meet in
| regular quarterly session next Monday,
the 9Th ult., and they are liable to strike
lot of work made necessary by the
| high waters. So far as is learned, no
steps have yet been taken in regard to
the wreck of the Hamilton bridge, and
whether an attempt will be made this
| week to corral it where it is has not yet
| developed. Something certainly should
be done.
1t is quite evident now that Hamilton
is not going to have any Fourth of July
| celebration, not because her people are
not patriotic, but more because no one
has taken the lead in getting up one
| And it is pretty certain that none will
| be had, but that the whole upper val
ley will go and partake of the hospl-
SS'I
Vile on that day.
The Bitter Root valley is looking its
| prettiest just now, with the fields a
| mass of green verdure freshened by
natures tears, the apple blossoms
showing respondent in the sunshine
that has at last arrived, their delicate
perfume seeming the air and all the
land seeming to rejoice in the awaken
ing from its long sleep under the slum-
herous effect of winters breath.
A new tin roof has been put on the
Grill building on Main street during
| the past week.
Allen f. Sharpe, clerk of the court
| will ask the commissioners for permits
| sion to leave the state, and shortly after
| the term of court will go East on tr.r
on private business, to be gone a littlt
over month.
Justice Morris gave a vagrant
tloater Saturday. The county Jail her,
is full now, and the only way feasible
to deal with these gentry seems to bt
to put them on the roads and street,
to work, thus making them earn thei
board or travel out of the country. Al
effort to do this will be made.
