Of our community life. They bring with them Mr..
Wharton Hutchens. as editorial writer. gentleman
who has had much experience in that capacity on
some OF the large newspapers OF the country.
Notwithstanding rumors to the contrary, I believe
that no other interests are connected with the

and giving to western Montana creditable and
