MAY DAY FESTIVAL.
The Eiremen's Band Scores a Success-A
Fine Parade and Ball

The Eiremen's Band Scores a Success-A
Fine Parade and Ball.
The May Day festival which took place
under the auspices of the Deer Lodpe
Flremen's band, on Friday Of last week,
was from all points of view gratifying
success, both for the members of the
band who labored diligently for that re.
suit, and for the general public who were
given an opportunity to enjoy de-
llghtful pleasure upon day that might
otherwise have been quiet one.
The day was one Of the most cheerful
that has been vouchsafed to us during g
this rather dreary and inclement spring,
put the evening was cold and stormy.
This did not keep very large throng
from enjoying the dance at the pavilion
IN the evening, however, and this part Of
the entertainment was of a character such
as exceeded the best expectations.
At about 4:30 o'clock the Deer Lodge
Fire department with hose-cart and
steamer and led by the band appeared
upon the streets and paraded the princi-
pal thoroughfares. In the evening
about ':3o the band gave an open air con
cert on Main street and then proceeded
to the pavilion where their members sup
plled flrst-class orchestra music for the
ball which followed. More than 100
couples participated in the dance and the
net result, after all expenses are paid, has
put about $50 in the treasury Of the band.
The money will be used in furnishing a
lew uniforms that are needed and for
purchasing instruments and music. AL
together the affair was creditable to the
members of the band who have been do
ing some hard work during the past few
months and deserve theirsuccess. They
desire through the columns of TIE New
NoRTlIWEsT to express to the public of
Deer Lodge their appreciation for the
KIND attention extended the parade and
concert and the generous attendance at
the ball in the evening.

Beef in Big Hole.

N. j. Blelenberg returned from the Big
Hole basin on Tuesday where he has been
visiting his range cattle which were
turned out about a month ago. While on
the trip MIR. Bielenberg purchased 300
head OF beef cattle for the Butte Butch
erlng company, Of which he is member.
lie also sold 800 head of his own cattle to
the company. Mr.. Bielenberg states that
the range is in good condition and cattle
are fat. While going into the basin he
passed four Or five herds of cattle. aver
aging 100 head each, on their way to the
Butte market. This gives some idea Of
the large consumption of beef in the
Smoky City.
The price paid for the cattle was about
$40 per head. Many of the beef cattle
in Southern Montana are being purchased
by Denver men for shipmentto that mar
ket. The Big Hole country supplies
first class quality Of beef as on account
OF depth OF the SHOWS the herds are fed
through the winter for the beef market
Mr. Blelenberg farther states that the
ranchmen of the district are preparing to
organize protective association for the
purpose OF excluding sheep from the
ranges Of Big Hole.

"A few papers have stated, and the i'm
preston is to some extent abroad. that
there is no closed season fort catchinp

Judge lrippet in answer to the inquiry
OF the reporter. t'This isa mistake, how
ever, the law provides that no speckIed

be taken or caught. except from private
ponds by owners, during the months of
May and June'
sWill the law be rigidly enforced?"
"lhe authorities" continued Judge
lrlppet, propose to enforce this law, and
at the last term of the board of county
commissioners q game warden was ap
pointed with a deputy for these two
months and expressly for the purpose or
seeing that the fish law was observed,

pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the ONLY
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires constitutional treat
