The sheriff on Saturday sold the prop
erty of the Manhattan Pulp ard Paper
company under an order of foreclosure
and sale. issued from the district court
a few weeks ago. The sale was made
at the front door of the court house, the
property being bid in by the Union Bank
& Trust company of Helena. as trustee.
for something over $50 900, the amount of
the judgment and costs. Nothing has
been given out SO far as to the future Of
the plant. 1t is likely, however. that
there will be new company to take the
place of the old and some day in the not
distant future paper made at the Man
haitian mi may be looked for. A great
deal of money has already been sunk in
the plant. All the machinery necessary
to turn out about ten tons per day is in
the building, SO that a reasonable amount
Of additional capital would permit of ac-
tive operations to the end that the home
market may be supplied with Montana

ter and of well known business atiity the
outcome of the political struggle will re-
main in doubt until the ballots finally de-
eide who will preside over the c;ty's des-

Arrangements are all completed for the
district conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. of the Bozeman district,
which convenes on Tuesday ana con-
tinues for six days. The programme of
exercises is an elaborate one, all phases
of church work viii come in for discus
sion and it is expected that the meeting
will be not only a very profitable enc to
those interested in church work, but
that many new ideas as to how this work
can be most effectively done will be care
fully investigated and recommended If

however, that 1t was pu: off as long as
possible. Now that it is finished the pos

desire to install the water service in :he:r
homes has become an easy matter and
the service will doubtless be considerably
