FOR BIDS
Post Office Inspector Beatty Asks for
Bids On Building and
Equipment.
WILL BE SECOND CLASS OFFICE
The Lewistown People are Good Pat
rons of Uncle Santiago Bust
ness for a Small City.

P~ostofice Inspector +. ID. Beatty
Of Great Falls came down TO Lewis.
town last week for the purpose of ad.
yertising for bids on the new postos.
flee quarters and equipments which
will be required after the first day of
July when Lewistown becomes a sec.
ond class office. Among other things
the advertisement calls for bids on a
good building to be leased to the gov
eminent for five years. IL must con.
tain a burglar proof vault OF safe. The
furniture which must also be furnish.
ed by the lessor includes 500 lock box.
es of which $50 shall be small size, $50
medium size, 80 large size and 50
drawers; n bag rack with a capacity
for "a bags, one mailing case with
$50 separations and one distributing
table. Light and heat must also be
furnished by the lessor. Accompany
ing the bid must be a map of the city
showing the location of the building
or proposed building to be leased.
Lewistown will doubtless be the
smallest city in this STATE to claim a
second class postoffce and that fact
speaks well for the great amount of
postal business being done here. A
good ~postofice building with modern,
up-to-date fixtures is one OF the first
things to impress a transient traveller
with the progressive and commercial
Importance to the cityand aspeclalef-
fort will be made to provide the Lew.
istown office with a building and
equipments commensurate with her
growing needs and future prosperity
1t is not yet known what bids are
likely TO be made and b. whom. Rea-
lizing a slight commercial value to
any institution to which the postofice
happened to be located It was though.
for a while that a lively contest be.
tween the business men of the two
ends of the city might arise. But no
signs of such a contest has yet mani
tested itself and NAV not at all. The
present location of the office is one
OF the best that could be secured in
the city. being practically In the cen.
ter of the city and on the main street;
but 1t is not available for a release
and some other building will have to
be provided. It is a matter which has
an important bearing upon the up.
building Of the city and the citizens
should see to i that a good bid is sent
into the department. All bids are re-
CURED to be in the hands of Inspector
Beatty in Great Falls by the 2Sth of
the present month.

Well Again.

The many friends of John Blount
will be pleased to learn that he has
entirely recovered from his attack Of
rheumatism. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm cured him after the best doctors
in the town (Monon, Ind.) had failed
to give relief. The prompt relief
from pain which this liniment affords
is only worth many times its cost.
