HOTEL CHANGES HANDS
Cottage Hotel Under New Management

The most important of last week s
transfers, was the leasing of the Cot
tage Hotel by Mr.. c. G. Haynes. Mr..
Haynes is a man of very wide exper-
lence in the hotel business, and it is
his intention to give Blackfoot lust
such a hotel, and hotel service that she
deserves. Mr.. Haynes Games to Black
foot recommended as "Thorouph
Bred Live Wire'' and from personal
knowledge of him we can vouch for
that being the truth. Mr.. Haines is
creditable addition to the business
circles of this city and we bespeak for
him the utmost success. In talking with
Mr.. Haynes he has this to say:
1t is my intention to make the Cot
tage Hotel the most popular hostelery
on the Montana division. The service
in every department will be the best.

but Councilman A. B. Stephens, who was
unavoidable absent.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Peck, and the minutes of the
previous meeting were read by Clerk
Roy DeKay, and on motion they were
approved with several corrections.
Mr.. Batway appeared before the coun-
Gil and asked for the sidewalk grade on
South University Avenue and the Street
and Alley Committee were requested to
give the proper grade.
Assessor Malcom appeared before the
council and informed them that the
Miner 8 ditch on South Shilling Avenue,
in the vicinity of Mr.. Early's home,
was dangerous for the children in that
neighborhood, and asked that it. be
screened. Referred to proper committee.
P. B. VanBlaricom appeared before
the council and wanted to know why
his hid of 40c. per hour for street
sprinkling was disregarded, and John
Hatton s bid of soc. per hour accepted.
The hiring Of Mr.. Hatton was explained
by the mayor and chief of police to the
satisfaction of the council and Mr.. Van

city was not getting square deal from
the present street sprinkler, which re-
suited in the council making an effort
to have the cost of nocturnal street

Speaks Well Of St. Anthony.

Mr.. Alex Younie returned Tuesday
from visit to st. Anthony, where he
visited the damsite of the Ashton st.
Anthony Power Co. He says the site
has capacity of $4,000 horse power,
and the dam which will be fed partly
by warm spring water, will never
freeze. This power company has been
refused certificate to sell its juice in
surrounding cities, where the Public
Utility Commission contends there is
no demand for it in opposition to the
company already operating there, so
the power will be used for the purpose
of irrigating the Mud Flat project, in
which Mr.. Younie and a number of citi-
zens are interested in. Mr.. Younie says
there was never more water or better
crops in that part of the State than
there is this year.
