TAKES over WESTERN
IMPORTANT DEAL CLOSED UP
IN LEWISTOWN THIS
WEEK.

An important deal in local lumber
circles was closed up this week when
the Rogers Lumber company, of
Minneapolis, purchased the yards and
business of the Western Lumber &
Grain company here and at Moore.
Inventory is now in progress and the
purchasers will be in full control with
in few days.
An Important Concern.
The Rogers company is one of the
largest lumber concerns in the north
west. They not only have large yards
in Minneapolis. but own line yards in
Minnesota and the Dakotas. Since
they have now invaded the Montana
field, it is stated that they will es-
tablish number OF yards in this
state. Lewistown will be their Mon
tana headquarters. and Mr.. T. NJ
Lewis, who will have charge OF the
Montana end OF the business. has al
ready arranged to take up his resi-
dence in one of the Won Tobcl houses
in the upper end Of the city.

LITTLE Opposition To

But sixteen votes were cast in op-
position to the proposition to bond
the city for one hundred thousand
dollars for the purpose OF rebuilding
the water system at the special cleo
ton, which was held last Tuesday.
Only Ill votes were cast, all told, the
overwhelming merits OF the proposed
issue tending to rob the election of
special interest.
The vote was as follows: First

The city council will now proceed
with all possible expedition to the
work of completing all details for the
sale of the bonds in order that the
money may become available for the
starting of work at the earliest pos
sible time. 1t the desire of the
council to have the greater portion of
the work completed during the pres
ent year. The work will mean the
employment of from fifty to one hum
dred men within the limits of the city
at good wages for the next ten
months and this in itself will be no
small item toward making Lewistown
lively town this season.

the latter part OF the week with the
Lewistown Coal, Gas & Light COM
pany tor current to the amount OF
l5O-horsepower for the operation OF
the plant.
To the Democrat, Mr.. Gretencort
states that the initial capacity of the
plant will be $4,000 brick in eight
hours, but as the demand increases,
this output will be increased. He
further stated that it will not require
long to work UP this demand as the
Lewistown plant with the material at
hand here will put out a product
superior to the famous Hebron brick,
which has big sale throughout the
northwest In addition to all sorts OF
building brick, they will also manu-
facture paving brick and hollow tile
One of the immediate effects of the
establishment of the factory will be
the means whereby the streets OF
Lewistown can be paved at such a
cost as to infict no hardship upon
any one.

Governing Boards Of Fergus and
Musselshell Counties Come to
An Understanding.
FAIR TO BOTH SIDES
Debts and Credits Just Balance and
Neither County Is Compelled to
Pay Any Money.

After being in consultation for more
than week, the boards OF commits
sioners of Fergus and Musselshell
counties reached an agreement last
Friday afternoon. The terms OF set
tlement were signed by all OF the
commissioners and the visitors from
the southern county departed for
home to make preparations for an
other little financial wrestling match,
this time with the commissioners OF
Yellowstone county.
No Money Changes Hands.
Under the terms of the agreement,
there will be no money transferred
from one county to the other. The
assets of Fergus county in which
Musselshell had a pro rata interest,
were figured up as follows: Court
house, $l12,OO0; furniture, $1,000;
Jail, $8o5O68; poor farm, $1,000;
clock. $1,5OO; cash on hand, $62,-
1892. Total, $2O3,18O The debit
items include bonded indebtedness,
100000, with $3.50 interest, total,
$203,l8O.
Difference of Opinion.
The only difference related to the
valuation OF the Fergus county prop
erty, the visiting commissioners con-
tending that the poor farm is worth
more than seven thousand dollars
and insisting that other property
should be increased over the figures
fixed by the Fergus commissioners
and Judge Cheadle. who, under the
provisions of the bill creating Mussel-
shell county. is made the final arbiter
of any disputes. The men from the
"Miracle of the Musselshell'' naturally
t~:ed to drive the best possible bar
gain for their county, while the Fer
gus commissioners were equally as
anxious to protect the interests of the
parent county. The agreement which
was finally signed appears to be fair
to both counties and imposes no hard
ship on either of them.

Main ST. PROPERTY
Brings HIGH PRICE
GEORGE M. STAFFORD SELLS
FOR $625 PER FRONT
FOOT.

That outside investors look upon
Lewistown realty as mighty good
investment was shown last week
when Dennis Driscoll Butte capi-
talist, purchased a piece Of property
OF George M. Stafford, on Main
street, comprising Is front feet be-
tween Third and Fourth avenues, for
$4,000, or $625 per front foot. The
property has a building on it, which
rents for large sum, but the i'm
provements are old and must, in a
very short time, give way to more
modern structure; in fact, it is stated
that the purchasers contemplate the
erection of modern four or five
story building within the next year
or two.
Woodman Lets Contract.
NJ. L. Woodman, who has had the
excavation dug for big building on
Fourth avenue, is going to push the
construction work with all possible
haste, and to that end, last week let
contract for the stone, cement and
brick work to Antoine Anderson, OF
Harlowton, Mr.. Anderson was in
the city Saturday and closed the deal
and says that he will have a crew
of men at work within the next week
Or ten days;
Will Go Up Four Stories.
A foundation of solid concrete. suf-
ficient to carry four-story building

arise which shall justify running il
