place shouldsnot lead all the towns Of the

when the new paper mill opened. the lat
ter part of April, he expected to take i'm
mediate steps to secure still more valua- :
BILE manufacturing plants for the town.

mill and some of the machinery Is now
being given the finishing touches and all
time. They have abundance of material

will go forward rapidly.
The receipts of the Bozeman postOf1ce
for the year ending April first were an
nounced today. The total is $40, 299.69 and
this amount is sufficient to entitle the
city to a free delivery system. Postmas-
ter Burkett will inform he postal head
! quarters at Washington and 1t is thought
that a free delivery system will be In
operation before the middle of summer.
The town is rapidly growing and it was

Der the streets at once whether the free
delivery system was assured by the re-

A difficult and hazardous surgical
operation was performed this forenoon by
Drs. Hogan Holmes and Schulin. TIL
patient was a man named H. Ahnen who

a sever blow IN the head received ny
falling from a haystack. He submitted
to the operation known as trephining and
it is thought that the result will be salts

a quarter was taken out and an absess
drained from the brain which had be-
come dense and thickened from the pres
sure of a small depression caused BY the
fall. The nerve leading to the eye was
disturbed by the depression OF the skull
and there is but little doubt that the
operation would have been a complete
success If it had been performed a few
months or weeks earlier. AS it is the pa
tient will hardly have the same use of his
eyes that he had before the accident.
