WANTS TO ORGANIZE
A Request From Lew.stOwn for Leave
10 Form Militia Company.
NO ENCOURAGEMENT GIVEN
There L. a Deal on In Neihart to
Eond the Imperial Group OF
Mines-Cocd News for
the Camp.

Great Falls. Feb 23.-The Argus says
that F. e. Smith of Lewistown has re-
ceived a letter from Adjutant General
Lloyd of Butte, in reply to the request
for leave to organize a company of the
national guard in Lewistown. The ad-
jutant states that but two additional
companies are authorized by the con-
stitution and at present the funds APP
propriated by the legislature are too
meager to warrant any further organ
ization. Further. that several appli-
cations for leave to organize are al
ready on file in his Office and under
these circumstances he can give us no
encouragement at present. This reply
virtually puts quietus upon the
movement for a company of the guard
in this county, at least for some time
to come.
The Neihart Herald says the pro-
posed deal for a bond on the Imperial
group of mines on Harley creek TO
Stephen Pierse, T. NJ Lowry and
other Butte associates has been
completed and work has already
been started by the bondholders under
the management of Mr. Pierse. At the
start there will only be five or six men
warrants the force will be increased.
II is the intention first to run the
present tunnel in about 200 feet further
and then sink at least 75 feet. IL is
thought that by that time II will be
possible to determine the value of the
property and whether it will pay TO
take up the bond.
This group of mines is the property
of DIR. and Mrs. Meter. John Payette,
Joseph Brulotte and Regis Provost.
Considerable work has already been
done, and there is a fine showing of
copper there already. The vein Is
from 20 to so feet wide and some very
high assays have been obtained.
The bonding of this property is most
important for Neihart, and our people
will be much interested in the out
come. The work done will establish
whether or not there Is copper in pay
ing quantities and quality. and should
the later development bear out the
present anticipations II will mean a
big boom to the camp.

Shirt Waists stIIl In Order.

The first showing in the shops of
shirt-waists attest that these useful
garments are by no means deposed
from favor They are to be worn in
deed this spring and summer more
than ever, If bewildering variety and
much novelty of design and material
indicate anything. The newest waists
are made with two or three half-inch
tucks turning toward the fronts, or a
cluster of small overlapping ones to
take up the same inch and a half of
space down the fronts. Cuffs and col
lars are usually of straight shirt
shape, and of plain material, in solid
cient variety. A linen batiste in its
natural putty tint. barred in color, is
made up with Numbered collars and
cuffs of the shade of the crossbar.
Black, mauve, pink, blue, green, white,
red, and the rest OF the list are seen.
A Persian chintz has collar and cuffs
of a gold and white striped material,
that gives the effect of braid sewed on.
The fit and finish of the new waists
are admirable. and the sleeves are not
so large as those worn last summer.
Belts are as new and varied as the
waists. and ring the changes in white.
black, bronze. and suede leather, elias
tic webbing, gold and silver plain, and
in overlapping sequins. In width. any
fancy can be suited, for they are to be
had from seven inches in width down
10 half-inch strap or a simple coil OF
gilt or silver. A decided novelty is
five-inch girdle of plaid velvet fast
ened by three light leather straps.

reached up in the darkness. and with his
skinny fingers he made as IL writing on
the wall:
Debit: The world owes every man a
chance to live"
Credit: The world owes every man a
chance to die"
Then he rose and walked out on the
street. Some OF the pedestrians glanced
at him pityingly and would have given
him aims had he asked them. But he no
longer had story to tell-was no longer
cold and hungry. The river was only
three blocks away. His steps were turned
In that direction and there was no halt
ing-no turning back The lights on the
wbarves cleaned out over the water and
silvered wave and ripple. There were
boats plying to and fro-there were peo-
pie coming and going. The old man saw
nothing but the river. heard nothing but
a voice saying:
1.-The world owes every man a chance 10
die!'
Right down to the wharf as a dumb
beast is driven-out to it's edge as people
walk in their sleep-a leap and n splash,
and the book of life was closed for good.
The world had given him his chance TO
die. He had furnished shroud and coffin.
hearse and grave.
