THE DAILY ENTERPRISE.

LIVINGSTON, M.T, MARCH 17,1884
Entered at the postoffice in Livingston, M. T.,
as second class matter.
The attorney general has issued a cir
cular addressed to all United States attor
neys and marshals calling attention to the
statutory provisions for the regulation of
the shipment of explosives and directing
them to l>e diligent in their efforts to pre
vent and punish infringements of those
provisions. The circular is considered
necessary on account of the alleged ship
ment of dynamite from this country to
foreign points for the purpose of commit
ting heinous crimes.
Buchanan's Bridge.
"What prospect there was of getting
a bridge across the Yellowstone here
for use this summer seems last eb
bing away—lias in fact disappeared
altogether. The difficulty arises from
the insatiate demands of the owners
of the island. Buchanan offered them
lree foot transportation over the
bridge when completed, to pay any
and all damages assessed by the com
missioners for the county road over
the island, and to fence the road on
both sides, and in addition to pay
them $300 for the privilege of going
immediately upon the island to work
and Jiaul material. This they refused,
hut offered to give the privilege if
they were paid $5 per year rent for
the road, if the road were fenced on
both sides and if they were allowed
free transportation for themselves and
their teams. It will be understood
that the latter clause wonld place
them in position to make easy con
tracts to haul over all rock, sand,
wood, etc. that might be produced on
that side of the river and reduce the
revenue of the bridge to a very low
figure. Buchanan refused the terms,
and now there is a deadlock that will
last till the board of county commis
sioners some time next summer or au
tumn declares a county road over the
island. Till then Buchanan can do
nothing with his work as he wiU not
be allowed on the island.
Th« Cigar Factory.
As soon as C. H. Manley receives
necessary papers from the internal
revenue department he will put four
men at work in tho manufacture of
cigars and hopes that his trade after
a little time will warrant the employ
ment of ten men. He should be able to
command the entire wholesale cigar
trade of the town and country around,
as he is able to furnish cigars of
equally good quality at less price than
those of eastern manufacture, can al
ways supply fresh goods, make cigars
to suit the orders of customers and
will sell by actual inspection of the
goods instead of by samples. He is
getting his store in nice shape and
will make a fine display of goods in his
line. In every way we regard Mr.
Manley and his establishment as an
important addition to the town.
landt'i Summer Garden.
A. Landt has begun work upon his
summer garden in Riverside addition.
A space 380 feet long and 160 feet wide
fronting upon the river is being en
closed with a high board fence. With
in at one corner, will be an octagonal
building 25 feet in diameter sur
rounded by a verandah and surmount
ed by a high flag staff. The ground
will be leveled, gravelled walks laid
out and seats provided, but the thick
growth of noble trees will remain
untouched. A bowling alley, swings
and croquet ground will be prepared
and probably a pond of water in the
centre of the grounds. When com
plete it will be a very pleasant resort.
Religion* Notices.
The Rev. Mr. Wallace of Billing^
has promised to come and preach to
morrow evening in Bingham's hall at
7:30. Christians, without distinction
of name, are most cordially invited
Preaching this evening at Bingham's
hftli at 7:30. Every one invited.
AmeMor of Livingston.
W. M. Wright has been appointed
deputy assessor for the town of Liv
ingston and will immediately enter
upon his duties. We are glad to know
that he has taken the office. He is a
roan who attends closely to anything
hs undertakes, is possessed of good
business judgment and knows every
dollar's worth of property in the town.
As a consequence we wiU have a fairer
and more complete assessment this
year than last.

the
of
to
Funny Uncle Rufus.
Chicago Herald: Rufus Hatch, of
the Yellowstone Park Improvement
company, said to-day that the reports
that the employes of the company in
the Park were half naked and half
starved and that their pay was six
months in arrears was somewhat ex
aggerated. On the whole, he said,
with a malicious twinkle of the eye,
they are a good deal better off than the
stockholders of the Northern Pacific
or Oregon Transcontinental compan
ies, particularly the latter. I don't
consider that the Congregational 1st
from Boston at the head of the com
pany is a good guarantee that the
stockholders will get what belongs to
them. 1 am going to run up into New
England in a few days and may run
across the president of the Oregon
Transcontinental, in fact, I don't know
but what I'll call on him, and if he
tackles me for my opinion of him
there will be music and don't you for
get it. He'll hear the angels sing, but
lie'll never see them."
Railroad Lands.
The Northern Pacific officials say
that an injurious report is being in
dustriously circulated that the com
pany does not stand by its resolution
tion of 1879 to sell settlers railroad
lands at $2.60 per acre. They say the
order was intended to apply to settlers
on unsurveyed lands who could not
tell whether they were on railroad or
government property. To such. 160
acres of land were to be given at the
government pre-emption price of $2.50
per acre with 10 cents added to cover
the cost of surveying and convejing.
In all cases where settlers between
the Missouri river and Puget Scuind,
innocently located unsurveyed land
and found that it belonged to the
Northern Pacific, on proper proof of
the facts, the price to be paid the
company will be $2.60 per acre for 160
acres. The railroad officials further
say the charges ef injustice toward
settlers seem designed to create
prejudice in congress against the rec
ognition of the company's plain, legal
and equitable right to retain its land
grant rather than to remedy any real
abuses.
