Central Park is an important point in Gallatin county. It is there that the main traveled road crossing West Gallatin sepa- , rates, one going towards Helena and the other ro Virginia City, and one to Dillon. A. J. Cowan Bros, have succeeded Vard Coekerill in the ownership of the toll bridges, store and hotel, and they are conducting the same in first-class style. The blacksmith shop on the premises is being run by Wm. MeKnight. The road going to Dillon gees direct to Madison, crossing that stream on a new bridge, built by Vard Coekerill. The route is direct and the road is about 25 miles shorter than any other leading from llie Kiuna point. A mail over this road besides being of great value to settlers of the valley through which it passes, would be the most direct between Dillon and Bozeman.Before leaving Central Park, however, it will be in order to mention the pleasant home of B. M. Dawes, who is located on the east bank of the river. Mr. D. is one of Gallatin’s early settlers and has selected a choice farm. Recently a number of his relations have arrived, fresh from the States, and are making arrangements to build homes in the neighborhood.Leonard Stone also lives on the east bank a mile or more above Mr. Dawes*. Mr. S., besides farming, is engaged in wool-growing, aud as such is making a success. He bought a flock of young sheep last fall and brought them through the winter feeding grain and hay, and this spring has a heavy clip ol wool and a crop of lambs which alone is worth as much as the original cost of the flock.
