Special Correspondence of the Standard
Livingston, Oct. 10.-The story is be-
ginning to leak out about a scheme
for taking the tourist trade away from
Livingston and removing the terminus
of the Park branch run to a point 20
miles east of here Some time ago
bond was given by Timothy Murray of
Butte, the owner of Hunters Hot
Springs, to syndicate which will take
charge of the springs hotel and oper-
ate the resort. presumably on a mag
ntficent scale
Now, the story goes, several promi-
nent men in Montana, who are inter-
csted in the new syndicate which con-
trolls the hotel. will secure the coop
GRAFTON Of Northern Pacific officials and
build mammoth hotel near the rail-
road at Springdale and pipe the water
from the springs. three miles away. to
the new resort which wifi be made the
headquarters for the park tourists and
the eastern terminus of the park trains
route from Cinnabar. The feasibility of
such a scheme and the probability that
the railroad would favor plan looking
toward combining the attractions Of the
two popular points of interest for tour
lists, the hot springs and the park. is
causing business men of this city, who
are aware of the movement. much con-
Germ The tourists trade has always
been looked upon as one Of the thriving
resources Of the place and thare Is
every reason to believe that an attem,t
will be made to head off the proposed
movement when the designs Of the new
hotel company become generally
known. 1t is stated on good authority
that Senator Thomas H. Carter figures
in the deal and is interested in making
the new hotel venture a success. 1t is
generally known that Mr.. Carter is
stakeholder in the Park Transportation
company and his connection with this
new concern causes considerable APP
prehension, and the fear is prevalent
that the scheme is now too far along
to he successfully interfered with.
Thunderbolts are not in the habit Of
coming from a clear sky in Park coun-
ty, and for this reason the news that
the supreme court had decided that the
road law passed by the last legisla ture
was constitutional created considera BILE
CONSERVATION. The law was ignored
last April in this county by the advice
Of Attorney General Nolan, and the
county commissioners say that the best
that can be done is to -fill the offices

months is the limit to which they have
been able to run without the special

school board expected when they laid

At meeting of the city council held
Monday evening it was decided TO sub
nit the proposition of bonding the city
for the purchase of water works
plant to vote of the people. An or
dinance to that effect was drawn IN
and passed by the unanimous vote of
the aldermen present. There is hardly
a doubt hut that the election will re-
suit in a good majority in favor Of the
bonds. The water works and electric
light plants will probably both be pur-
chased by the city.
