Grf.atFalls, Oct. 25.^It is expected^thai ilie liiio new brick school building^on the south side will be completed in a^few wo ks. Work on the second building^has already been commenced and wdl bo^pushed with all possible speed. This^structure will be situated on the north^aide. With three la rite, two-story brick^school bouses, this citjr will be prepared^to train a vast number of pupils. For^some lime past trouble has been experi^^enced tit this direction from the fact that^the Central school building baa been^oTercrowded with children. About two^weeks ago it was found necessary to se^^cure another school room. Rooms ware^ranted in the court house budding.^Teaciiers were secured and everything is^running along smoothly, though these^rooms ure a littlo too crowded. An idea^ran be formed of the state of affairs at^the ( en Ira i school when there was up^^wards of 400 pupils in the building at one^time. Ihe children in the primary classes^on ly attend school a ( art of each day.^half of them in tha morning and^the other half in the afternoon. This^trouble has all been caused by the rapid^growih of this city. A year ago all tha^children in the city could have found^ample school 'accommodations, but now^things ure different. All this trouble will,^however, bo remedied in a lew short^weeks. The systt m of teuchiug adopted^in tl o tel.ools here is said to bo of the^vi ry highest older by ptople who know^whit tney arc talking uboui. The teach^^er, haveull had long experience and havu^the let pec t and esteem of their pupils.^The children take deep interest in their^studies, and through the care and watch^^fulness of Sui^crinteiideni Banks every^^thing is i mining like clockwork, notwiib-^standing tho tact that both teachers and^pupils are laboring at a disadvantage.^Great Falls i-eople should rejoice In the^fact that they will oon have :aci ities for^teaching the ycuug whieb will be second^to none in the slate of Montana.
Theattraction at the Park theatre dur^^ing the pan week was a good one, and^has draw n crowded lit uses each evening.^An eiiii re change of programme will be^math- dur nig ihe coming week. A spec^^tacular burlrique. entitled ^Andomious,^the Sculptor.^ will lie produced.

LodgeNo. 211, B P. O. E., is progress^^ing finely. The order in this city hss^only been organised a few weeks, and^yet the Klks have a strong membership^list which is being increaseJ at each^meeting. It is understood that tbo initia-^loll fees will herninil in a short time.^The social sessions are highly enjoyable,^it is said.
Severalcarloads of ore are shipped into^thia city each week from Barker and^v.cmiiy. A number of tbe mines sit^^uated at Barkc r arc said to be very rich,^at d their worth Kteadily increases, will)^additional development. It is said tbat^tie- shipments to tbe smelters hare will^bo hugely increased in the next month^or two.
