of the townsite lots for Poison would be
held at that town OH September Z, but

mentioned. THIS will probably cause
considerable inconvenience as the fact
has been generally circulated that the
sale would occur at Poison, and many
will expect to attend the sale and go to
that place. Judge Witten gave out the
original statement, but as the instructions
come iron. the commissioner, that will
undoubtedly be final, and the sales will
occur in this city. --Kalispell Journal.
