King has for months past been very
anxious that the work Of advertising
the mining of the county be
taken up, and is much pleased that the
ARGUS will give the matter attention
this winter, he promising to assist in
many ways. This assurance will en-
able the mining resources to be pre-
scented in very complete and attractive
form, and his counsel and assistance
will be a handsome contribution to the
success of the work.
Workmen are now engaged in placing
the plate glass in front of the Judith
Hardware Co.'S large building and the
store will probably be entirely enclosed
tomorrow. The interior is rapidly APP
preaching completion and as soon as
the shelving and counters can be- placed
the compauy's stock will be moved.

terprising members Of the firm as well
as 10 the town. On the second floor the
front will be divided into two suites OF
offices which have already been rented.
One will be occupied by County Attor-
ney +. L. Smith who will retire from
office January LIST and the other has
be spoken for by a. X. Barbour Of Hell
ena who was in Lewistown some time
since and announced his intention Of
locating in Lewistown. Should Attorney
Barbour's plan bc changed Judge
Cheadle will take the second suite. The

Charles T.. Wright, brother of +. f.,
Edmund and Arthur Wright, who has
been employed by thu \. 5. Wright Co.
during the summer, is negotiating for
the purchase of the LewiStown hotel
and a deal will likely he concluded 50

Wright is an exceedingly energetic
young man and will be supplied with
sufficient funds to enable him to ac-
complish all of the improvements con
templated and manage the hostelry in
a manner creditable to the town. The
many friends of the present manager,
Mr.. II. d. Larned, will regret to see the
hotel pass out of his control, and il is
likely that in view Of his popularity
with patrons he will still be connected
with the establishment.
A. ID. Barney was in town last week
on his return from Helena. Mr.. Bar
ney has disposed Of all his interests at
Rockford to his brother, W. NJ. Barney,
and has purchased al entirely new and
complete stock of groceries and gents
furnishings, which he will open at
Philbrook within a week. philbrook
has for some time past been in need Of
a store and before Mr.. Barney located
at Rockford, many were the solicita-
tions that he should go to Philbrook.
Since that time the advantages of the
Philbrook stand have been more inn
pressed upon him, and although he
leaves Rockford with regret, he has
made an excellent arrangement with
his brother and from this time forward
counts himself a resident of Philbrook.
His stock will be very complete and as
arrangements for its transportation
from Harlow were made before the
purchases were concluded, only the Sc
we're weather should detain the open
ing. The Jcllison building will be oc-
cupied.
Vaclav Pulec, of the ARGUS compos-
ing room, had a very hard experience
Saturday afternoon, from the effects of
which he will hardly for some
time. lie is associated with others in
a poultry ranch lear the foot of the
Judiths and Saturday started home
ward to spend Sunday. This was his
first winter in Montana and the advice
of his friends was not sufficient TO
deter him, although he was by no
means prepared 10 face the cutting east
wind. After proceeding some distance
he became numbed with the cold and
only with great difficulty reached the
home of John Berger. The people at
the house very kindly rubbed his ex-
posed features with snow 10 remove the
frost, and after getting thoroughly
warmed provided him with a shawl and
other essentials TO assist him in making
the remainder Of the trip in safety. So
soon as he turned from the creek valley
and secured the shelter of the hills the
trip was less attended with danger, but
Mr.. Pulec's experiences were such that
he will not soon again risk freezing to
death as he did Saturday.
