The Dillon Montana February 1890 issue comments on a stalled Iowa lower house session with partisan stalemate. It urges a law to withhold pay for workers disobeying orders dated November 23, 1889. Also reports Mormon delegation opposing Idaho statehood, Wyoming statehood recommendation, and gratitude for The Daily News Almanac 1890.
The report surveys statewide stock conditions with deeper snow in the west and south, noting mixed feelings of anxiety and contentment. It also corrects a name in the Boulder Sentinel, discusses a proposed Madison valley railroad, Mormon political activity, and a Madison County tribute fund with debate over a New York monument request.
Citizens weigh water supply options for the city including a valley reservoir with pipes, a foothills pump system, and the artesian well plan. The piece notes costs, depths, and geology, arguing against surface finds and citing Dakota wells and Devil's Lake as depth examples, with emphasis on a $50,000 cash requirement and the Rocky Mountain source.
The paper argues depth will reveal abundant artesian wells along the same slope as the Dakotas. It notes costs of wells in the south and a large well near Devil's Lake, estimating $20,000 for a stock company to sink a six inch hole. It invites public articles and aims to be the people’s paper serving farmers, stockmen, miners, and literary readers.
A white mineral resembling silken fibers has been found in small quantities in the Gagnon mine in Butte. It is said to be worth ten times as much as the other minerals produced, though its name has not yet been disclosed.
The ballad recounts Mr McGinty's misadventures with a nine o clock start while attempting stunts on a wall and a coal hole. After a fall he is hospitalized and learns he fathered a child. He drinks, faces arrest for drunkenness, serves months in jail, and later dies by the river, his ghost haunting the dock.
Sealed proposals will be received at the County Clerk's office until March 3 for a one year term of care and maintenance of the poor sick and infirm. Bids must state price per capita by the week as required by the Board of County Commissioners.
