HELENA Boosted
OF CITY HABITS
BACK IN 1890
ELECTRIC. STEAM AND HORSE
LINES COMPETED FOR
NICKELS

Back in 1890 a fellow by the name
I Of j. F. Garretty was issuing a vest
pocket volume called Garretty's Guide,
a business and directory and tourists
guide Of Helena.
Helena was quite a place back in
those days. The directory would bring
back memories TO those who saw Hell
ena so years or more ago-but it prob
ably won't mean much to the moderns.
Getting around Helena in those days
was certainly no difficulty for there
were three different methods of public
transportation. The electric street car
line ran down Main from Cutler and
ON loop which included Sixth avenue
and Main to Seventh to Davis to State
and back to Main and Sixth. Then
there was the steam motor line with
cars running from the N. P. depot up
Prospect, Livingston, Idaho and Eighth
to Warren to Fifth to Main to Park
to Benton to Knight street and on
out to BroadWater. Finally there was
the old horse car line leaving Main
at Broadway and going to Warren to
Fifth to the Lenox addition and there
was late car on theater nights max
ing the round trip in one hour for a
nickel Sounds pretty cosmopolitan,
doesn't it?
In those days Helena was Dragging
Of having one millionaire for every
1000 Of population. There were eight
banks. The First National at Main
and Grand; the Montana National at
Main and Edwards; the American Ma
tional at Main and Sixth; the Cruise
Savings at SO South Main; the Helena
National at So North Main; the Mer-
chants National at Main and Edwards;
the Montana Savings at 38 North Main,
and the Second National at So North
Main.
It was a clean sort of town, too,
for there were five or six baths in
GLIDING w. ]. Burnett's in the Grand
Central hotel; Clarke and Brown in
the Merchant hotel; E. Frank at 303a
North Main; w. j. Hartwig, Montana |
Bank building; Turkish baths at Sixth |
and Main, and T. Mcdaniel, 8 Wall. |
In some respects it was rather more |
profitable to be in county office then |
than now-and in some other respects |
it wasn't. Sheriff @. M. Jefferis was |
drawing $4,000 per year; r. p Barden,
the treasurer, received $3.50. and John
Bean as clerk Of the district court re-
ceiyed 5000. J. S. Tooker, who was
clerk and recorder, also received $1,000,
and @. B. Nolan, county attorney, got |
s., 500. w. j. Beckett, who was auditor,
received only 81 500 as did Miss @. L.
TURNKEY, superintendent of schools. The
county commissioners were E. w.
Knight, E. D. Edgerton and A. j.
Burns. William Steuwe, in charge Of
the county hospital, had a contract
with the county to board and clothe
his charges at $3.50 each per week. u

but I'm a bit thirsty, and Wouldn Z

AS she lurched towards him, her
thin arms closed round his body and
ne smelt whisky on her breath.

". and violently he shook himself free.
well, I neverI"
The tittering way she uttered those
three words showed her mood had
changed. She was now cheertully
drunk.
Where could he take her, In the
state she was now in? With feeling
OF shuddering relief he remembered
having met by chance today doctor,
a bachelor, who lived in the next street.
That man, if in, would give her some
thing to bring her around.
81 know a chap near here who will
give us a drink" he said hesitatingly.
"Cheerio! Then let's get along, Jock"
In the pitch darkness she stepped
backwards, over the edge of the steep
stone flight of stairs; and the quick
dull thuds her body made, as she fell,
reminded him of distant bombs strik-
ing the sodden earth.
His heart smote him. But drunkards
always fall soft, so Kitty couldn't have
hurt herself much.
He waited a few moments; then he
went slowly down to the next landing.
Striking a match, he saw she was
lying on ueI DdCk, VIII uSI nSdu SdS-
ging against the wall.
The match blew out, and he said
coldly, Il hope you didn't hurt your
self? People have to get used to doing
without a light. The Bowlers haven't
got a blackout; they just took away
all the electric bulbs on the staircase"
He spoke mechanically, for the while
he was asking himself, How much
will she want before she consents to
q divorce2"
He loathed the thought of touching
her. "Get upl" he said sharply.
But he heard no sound, and with a
smothered "damnl" he felt for, and
took up, her limp hand. 1t lay in his
inertly.
