The first term for Teton county will be opened here on the 17th inst., the other terms as noted in the official notice published in another column. A change was made in the proprietor ship of tho Home restaurant the first of the week, 'Win. Flynn entering into co partnership with .Mr. Austed, the former proprietor. We bespeak for the now man agement a litooral patronage. The flag-pole was taken from the old school house thi 3 week by Joe Arnold and placed on the new building. The flag recently purchased by the trustees will hereafter float proudly in the breeze whenever the weather will permit. Word was received here yesterday that the contract for the erection of a stone buiding on the foundation on the corner of Mam and Hamilton streets has been let, and that work will begin as soon as the weather can be relied upon, and that the work is to be accomplished in thirty working days after it is began. Also, that the new building is to be occupied be McLain Bros & Co. as a general mer chandise store? The work of getting the material ready will begin in a few days. The Ladies’ Industrial society met Wednesday afternoon at Mrs. Con nor’s. The society elected the following officers : Mrs. J. H. Dunlap, presi dent ; Mrs. T. Moore, vice president ; Mrs. K. E. Hammond, secretary, and Mrs.- C. H. Connor, treasurer. After the transac tion of the necessary business, an hour was spent chatting and visiting. An ex cellent lunch, consisting of several kinds of cake, cream puffs and coffee, was then served. _______ _________ __ T. 11. Carr, of Choteau, has invented what ho terme a “ steam placer miner,” for use in frozen ground. Last week he made a practical test in the presence of witnesses, with the result that his most □anguine expectations were more than re alized. He succeeded in cutting away 18 inches of the hardest kind of frozen clay and gravel in one hour, by a watch. Mr. Carr, along with his witnessds and sovoral others, to whom he has confided the se crets of his apparatus, is firmly convinced that he has gotten rid of the difficulty ex perienced by the Klondyke miners in the way of getting out pay dirt. Purely Personal. January 4,1898. Very pleasant weather. Stockmen re port the range in good condition and stock, doing well.

It is reported from reliable authority tliat a station house and shearing sheds will be erected here next spring by tho G. F. & C. By.
