This is the last day for "wide-op

This is the last day for "wide-open"
gambling in Montana. This state
has reached a point In the progress
of civilization when public gamb-
ling, at least, can and will be sup
pressed. 1t has disgraced the state
too long already, but the evil has
been reached as quickly as circum-
stances would permit. That an effort
will be made to conduct gambling
resorts on the quiet, on second floors
and out of the way places, there is
no doubt, but it will be moved from
the public gaze and not bea constant
invitation to the young and the bu-
collie individual with more money
than sense. The law gives great lat
itude in f~erreting out offenders. A
few arrests and the infection of the
penalties provided will soon reduce
gambling to the minimum.

The building committee of the Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows held a meeting yes
terday afternoon to further discuss the pro-
posed new modern building which is des-
tined to occupy the site of the present
Grand Lodge Hall, at the corner of Penn
sylvania and Washington streets. There is
still some uncertainty about the building
being erected, although the committee is
agreed that ii shall be done if financial rea-
sons do not interfere. The committee is
agreed upon this. There are, however,
some obstacles in the way which may not
be overcome.
At present it is the expectation of the
committee tina work on the new building
will m in a very short time. Plans
are being prepared by several architects in
competition. and they will be submitted 10
the in a few days. The plans
will provide for a building to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. TO be of steel and
other modern and fireproof material.

Company has sold its property and bust

treasurer of the Rockland Company, said
that his company had been endeavoring TO
conduct the telephone business at rates
ranging from 81 to SO a month and had
been unable TO make a success of 1t. for
several reasons. These rates were too low.
The company had an isolated. plant, with
the country. and could not get the subscrib-
ers expected. The support expected had
not been received. because the chief value
of telephone connection in a small place
is the possibility of talking to the larger
places reached only by trunk lines of the
Long-distance Company. The company
found that il was losing money and opened
negotiations with the New York Telephone
Company. which resulted I'm a sale OF the
property at a considerable sacrifice.
