The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-06-27

Mr. d. Ia. Baldwi3, topographer of the
s. geological survey, was the first of
the party TO arrive here. Mr.. Anderson
in charge of the camp OUTFIT, arrived at
Blackfoot Tuesday evening
Mr.. Bailey Willis of Washington with
a party Of men of his own, got off No. 3
passenger traiu the fore part Of the week
and others are expected soon to work on
the st. Mary's canal survey. These
gentlemen are temporarily camped at T..
B. Monroe's and will pull out for st.
Mary's as soon as practicable.
We respectfully call the attention Of
game warden Boucher to the conduct of
Dan Fitzpatrick. Are our o birds to
have no protection? Are the songsters
to be pursued and harassed to death?
II We interpret the law correctly they
must not be held in captivity nor be
removed from their usual abiding splace,
and being found in ones possession is
prima facie evidence of an i~nfraction of
the game law. What about that Yellow
Bird you had in the coach the other day?
Let the majesty Of the law be enforced.
The quarantine inaugurated here is
likely to continue for some time. Its
regulations prohibit the coming il OF
non residents without a health certificate
the departure of PEOPLE living here not
having a permit from DR.. Martin, chief
medical health officer, the visiting of rail
road camps by residents, prohibiting
railroad employees leaving the right of
way and the speedy deportation of no.
boes and Struggling bands of Indians
belonging to other reservations. While
smallpox is extant west of the mount
aims and at Cut Bank no cases have been
reported here, which is a matter of con-
graduation to everyone residing here.
The Great Northern is about to ad-
minister the "coup de grace" to Black
foot. The roundhouse is a pile of ashes,
most of the side tracks have been torn
up and removed, the depot has been
abbreviated to the size of a dry goods
box, shack town has disappeared and
now the coal bunkers and lodging house
are to be removed to Browning and the
depot to Carlow, so very 0 there
will not even be a ticket Office there.

of the former metropolis, ana Sam
Somes' great pile of tin cans back of the
now deserted hotel will cause the pass
ing stranger to shed a tear or two as he
contemplates this evidence OF it's former
glory. Sad indeed is the fate of Black
foot, but we pause in the recital of these
narrowing, we might say ~grievous, con
ditions.
