St. Paul s Catholic Cath-olic church people and the Ursuline Sisters are at present considering the erection of a parochial school at the corner of Fifth and Maple streets. The Sisters have desired the school for a long time and the congregation of St. Taul's are enthusiastic supporters of the project, which has been advanced and advocated by Rev. Father Coop-man. The ground, at the corner of Fifth and Maple streets, belongs to the church, and it can well be devoted to the purpose named, there being need for the school. There was a meeting of the church people last evening, and the matter was enthusiastically discussed. dis-cussed. The matter of enlarging the rectory of the church wes also taken up. and it is very likely that this structure will be remodeled and increased in size. A committee of the church people was appointed to look into the matter. The committee consists of Messrs. F. V. Hurley, William Walsh, Dan Couley, Dr. St. Jean and Patrick Cudihy. It is possible that the parochial school will be built at once, and it may be that it will be completed by the last of September if that is done. On Sunday there will be another meeting for the consideration of the project, and enlarge the rectory, when definite steps may be taken. Mrs. J. D. Hannagan was found dead in bed at her residence at .215 East Commercial avenue Sunday morning. The dead w oman had" not been feeling well for some time and had frequently complained of late about having trouble trou-ble with her heart, which at times semed serious. However, she had not been compelled to give up her usual daily ocupation on account of her j health, and when she retired Saturday evening there was apparently nothing! in her condition to cause apprehension among her friends. Major Martin Maginnis of Helena was a recent visitor. Miss May Dougherty of Hamilton, who has been Visiting in. this city for several weeks, returned home the latter lat-ter ;art of the week. . Father Barry, the new assistant in St. Pauls parish, has arrived in the city and taken up his work. Miss Nellie Burke left for Seattle and other coast points to visit with friends and relatives.

WALXERVILLE, MONT. Walkerville enjoys the distinction, not only of being one of the most orderly municipalities in the state, but is a genuine health resort, ft is not necessary for loyal citizens of the hill city to work up any superficial enthusiasm en-thusiasm to make such a claim. Figures Fig-ures show it. Strange as it may seem, not an arrest ar-rest has been made in Walkerville for three months. For efficiency and strict attention to duty probably no officer in Montana has a better record than Marshal C. M. Duffy, and if there is anything doing he is invariably on the spot. But he has not been called upon o take a single person into Custody since about the middle of Mar. ' In his report for the month of July, submitted to the city council last night. Marshal Duffy said: "No arrests j during month." That was all, and it ! spoke volumes. His report for June was practically the same, and equally terse. . j The little city is also remarkably j free from sickness. For the month of i July there were but three cases of I scarlet fever. There is little disease of I any form reported by the physicians. The monthly report submitted by j City Treasurer Masland showed the rer j ceipts were $164 and the disbursements $1M. There is a balance in the city's i strong box of $337.40. GREAT FALLS, MONT. j i . Great Falls, Aug. 9. Reports received j today show that last evening's wind and hailstorm did damage in the country coun-try to the extent of about $100,000. Five thousand window panes were broken in this city and in the vicinity of Belt. In an area of fifty square miles there was great damage to crops, some farmers farm-ers losing all their grain. Much hay ! was blown away, and along the county roads a ;reat number of trees were blown down and across the highways, necessitating the expenditure of sev-.eral sev-.eral hundreds of dollars to'remove the obstructions. At Cora a granary was blown from its foundation, and many hailstones were an inch in diameter. So far no one has been reported injured. in-jured. Great Falls, Aug. S.

MISSOULA, MONT. The Sisters of Charity who reside- in Montana are gathered here in their annual an-nual retreat. It will last for about ten days.

A rate of $2 for the round trip, good on one day, the 2Sth only, has also been secured. On the latter day special trains will be run. Rates from other Colorado points will be in proportion.

William Rhodes, just returned from Hongkong, China, where he was stopped stop-ped by the cholera while en route to Manila to look into government contracts con-tracts for M. P. Keefe. He says that the reports sent out from Manila by government officials do not correctly state the cholera situation there, and that as high as 300 people have died from the plague in one day. LANDER, WYO. The forest fire which for the past two weeks, has been raging on the head of the Big and Little Ponoagie livers has assumed gigantic proportions, propor-tions, and the timber loss will be immense im-mense before the llanies run their course. It is now too late to do nuu U toward checking the, progress of the fire, though a government agent has gone to the-scene to see what can be done. -The burned strip is thirty miles in length and nine miles in width. The Iiams sawmill lay squarely in the burned swath, but was saved by starting start-ing counter fires and burning away the surrounding timber before the breast of the big fire arrived. LARAMIE, WYO. M. II. Murphy is entertaining his sister, who arrived from the west. She will spend some time here before go- j ing on east. j A corpse of engineers are now at J work on a gigantic enterprise in the western part of Albany county, which will ultimately result in the reclamation reclama-tion of thousands upon thousands of acres of arid lands. Behind the project pro-ject are millions of money, represented represent-ed by eastern men in conjunction with Colorado capitalists, the interests of whom are in the hands of ex-Congressman Lafe Pence of the latter named state. '' The intention of the above named parties is to build immense reservoirs, the ground for which has already been I located and filed upon in the federal office at Washington. D. C. The sites thus acquired amount to over 1,000 acres, impounding ten feet of water to the acre. They practically take in the high waters of all the streams in. the country mentioned and include, the Medicine Bow, Rock creek. Libby creek, French creek. South and North Brush creeks, and also the North Laramie. Lar-amie. The volume of water flowing through these streams during early spring can scarcely be estimated. The scheme under way embraces a series of reservoirs of more or less magnitude, fully fifty in number. These, it is estimated, will be capable of controlling all the surplus water of the above named strejams, and they will afford a more equal flow than has been the case heretofore during the . irrigating season. Millions upon millions mil-lions of gallons of water which have been wantonly allowed to go to waste will thus be utilized for the fertilization fertiliza-tion of what has been known as a barren tract of meager value, even for grazing purposes. It is figured that these reservoirs will water at the very least calculation 100,000 acres, and it is the purpose of the company to colonize the inds with eastern farmers, who have made a life-long study of the value of irrigation. irri-gation. In volume, the company will have a water supply that will greatly exceed that of the Carey reservoir, located lo-cated some forty miles from Laramie, and considered the biggest undertaking of its kind in Wyoming. A feature about the present undertaking under-taking is the fact that capital has not interested itself before in the scheme which is acknowledged by experts to be one of the grandst vntures ever at-tmpted at-tmpted in the intermountain region. Prominent engineers have for 3ears called attention to the feasibility of the project, and no less a personage than Mr. Crittenden, hydrographie engineer en-gineer for the United States government, govern-ment, and whose specialty is the building of reservoirs for Uncle Sam, has passed his opinion in favorable terms on the advantages of the enterprise. enter-prise. The lands to be irrigated are capable capa-ble of splendid results, situated as they are is one of the finest spots in the Laramie plains. The uplands can be made to produce the very finest quality qual-ity of mountain grasses, as well as alfalfa, al-falfa, oats and bar-ley. Experiments have proved this, and a good feature in connection with the enterprise is the fact that as the reservoirs wiil be filled during the early spring freshets fresh-ets the water supply of small ranchmen ranch-men will in no wise be affected. RAWLINS WYO. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Quinlan returned from a fishing trip, and Mrs. Quinlan left for. Salt Lake. Miss Thursa McFarland has returned from Denver. John Hickey. who was at one time foreman of the Union Pacific . shops here, passed through the city en route cast. The reputation of Rawlins as a convention con-vention city is now firmly established. Delegates to both the Democratic and Republican conventions are now telling their home people of the hospitality extended to- them while in this city, genuine hospitality such as only western people can dispense, and they are very profuse in their praise. Rawlins Raw-lins will- for all future be recognized as the convention city par excellence of Wyoming. Journal. BATTLE, WYO.
