Republican Meeting at Sand COulee.

The republican meeting at Sand Cou-
lee on Saturday evening was a dismal
failure. Less than so persons were pres
ent and no enthusiasm whatever was
manifested. The speakers We're Oscar
Steenstrom and Christian de Linde. The
former spoke in the Scandinavian tongue
and the latter in English, but they failed
to make a very deep impression on the
small audience that heard them through.
Said one republican: "If the committee
can not send better speakers than that to
Sand Coulee they must have a poor
opinion of the intelligence of this camp;
we can furnish better speakers at home"
The effort of the speakers in two tongues
to show that the Mckinley bill, which
increases the cost Of everything the
miner buys, Is a blessing in disguise
was a failure lamentable and pit
able. The speakers denounced the
railroads without which the Sand Cou
lee mines would be still lying dormant,
and urged the limited audience to vote
against MIR. Gibson because he is a mem
Der of a company that has built up Grea
Falls, Sand Couiee and Cascade county
generally. If we can have a few more
republican meetings of this kind SANE
Coulee will give a solid vote for Dixor
and Gibson,

The Temperance lecture by Rev. VI. j.

ing, was we'll attended. A number Of
ladies gave the cause encouragement
with their presence. After a prayer by
Rev. John Reid, and organization of the
W, Q. 7. L. Of which Mr.. Hall is state
organizer, was partially effected and 10
persons signed the pledge and were ad-
mitted as members. The name of Mrs.
James Barnes was suggested for presl-
dent and several other ladies have con
sented to lend their aid to this good
cause. With their help, the organization
will Don have a large membership. It's
the intention to have q vice president
from each of the churches. Mrs.
Reid and Mrs. Judge Benton were
named as vice-presidents; Mrs. Desilets
as recording secretary; Mrs, School as
corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Eva
Curtis as treasurer.
The W. c. r. U. will meet at the M. E.
church on Thursday at 3 o'clock p. IN.
Rev. NJ. j. Hall is II fOrcible speaker
and while his logic is clear and his points
we'll taken, he holds the close attention
of the audience. He suggested that both
the old parties had not taken the high
moral stand which they should and de
nounced their alleged corruption in foTci-
BILE English. He spoke of the necessity
of a party TO back prohibition and said
that non-partisan prohibition was a fail
ure and without a separate organization
we never should be able to control the
traffic. He stated that prohibition never
could win the day while every one was
pulling in opposite directions, but AZ
thought the continual agitation of the
question would make the prohibition
party important in this country.
A collection was taken to advance thu

The necessity of measures whereby the
people in moderate circumstances can
build and own their own little homes and
avoid the heavy rentals that prevail IN
Montana has become apparent here. Be
sides a free holder is always the best
class of citizen. He feels identified with
the town, and endeavors to upbuild its
