over the completion of the Butte &
Bozeman Short Line railroad, on the
9th inst, seems to have been a glor-
ious occasion. We hope that the two
big BIS may always maintain the
friendly business relations so auspi-
ciously inaugurated that day.-Mad-

Does it ever occur to our good-na- :,
tured and otherwise welcome young
friends that the composing room of a
newspaper establishment is not eX-
actly the proper place for long and
frequent social visits during business
hours? A printers work requires
close and uninterrupted attention and
his time is peculiarly precious. "a
word to the wise is sufficient"
The few refreshing showers Of rain
which fell during the past week were
welcome v~isitants, but the parched
ground could probably absorb an
acqueous pouring down of 72 hours
duration; and it appears to have set
in for that length of time at least.
A good early June rain is just what
the farmers and stockmen need to in
sure fine crops and excellent pastur-
age.
VIM. Anderson, of Park county, a
former resident of this county, was
busy shaking hands with his many
Bozeman friends this week.
Those old bachelor enumerators in
Gallatin county will have the gov
eminent pull on the old maids. They
will either have to tell their actual
ages or go to the lookup.
:. Joseph VauX was in the city Mon
Iday. He says they just had suf-
ficient rain in the upper Gallatin last
week to lay the dust. Grass, as well
/ as grain, is suffering, and the stock
looks very badly.
Henry Fleming came in from his
ranch on Sixteen-Mile on Monday last
. and brings the usual verdict of short
grass upon the range, but says the
stock are doing as well as could be
/ expected under the circumstances.
The county commissioners are in
1 session this week. Among other i'm
portant matters demanding their at
tention they will have to rearrange
. the registration districts in the coun-
ty and probably make necessary ar
rangements for the fall election.
The census enumerators appointed
in Gallatin county are Frank j. Mes
bit, Walter Sales, Caldwell Edwards
Benz. S. Hamilton, and Thomas G
Hamilton. Mr.. Nesbit will number
IS the people residing in the city limits
of Bohemian, while the other four will

T. county.
p Col. o. p. Chisholm returned Satur
day night from Salt Lake City, wher,
he has been visiting his elder brother
William, and looking after some valu
able mining interests which he still
retains in the territory of the Saints
. The colonel is interested primaril
in the Centennial-Eureka mine, abou
rs miles southwest of Salt Lake City
the ore from which brings the CON
NJ. pany from $500 to $1,000 per ca
VS. load. The mine is ore of the bes
paying properties in the territory
:. yielding as it does about $4,000
N. worth of ore per month. The CON
pany refused a tender of a round mi
lion for it last monta, which demon
strates that o. (Which stands fl
