Tomorrow, between the hours Of 2
and q p. m, at the brick school
house, the taxpayers OF the Lewis
town school district will be given
opportunity to authorize the levying
of a special tax Of not to exceed four
mills for the purpose of raising

ing and furnishing Of the high school
building. The status Of the case IL
that the amount derived from bonds
and from the sale Of the old school
property has been very nearly ex-
hausted la the building operations
and In other expenditures made
necessary by the work. When ready
to turn over to the district the build
ing will have cost about $4,000, but
some 8 $1,000 further must beexpended
In order that 1t may be Of use, for an
extensive heating plant Is an abso-
lutte essential and some additional
furnishings other than those In for
mer use must be purchased. The
building IL now rapidly approaching
completion and II the tax IL voted
Chairman Cort of the board sur
us that 1t may be used the coming
term, bnt II the tax il not voted, the
district will be without funds for
heating and furnishing and the build
ing will be of no use. The question
arises, which alternative will the
taxpayers have: Additional tax levy
of four mills and a full term Of school
in the new building; nc tax levy, a

conducted in rented rooms; a short
term Of school. Let voters decide

The county surveyor of Granite
county has brought suit to test the
road law passed by the last legisla-
ture. In nearly every county Of the
state, including Fergus, the new law
was ignored as soon as the opinion
of Attorney General Nolan had been
handed down and the control Of the
roads left with the county surveyors,
but 1t appears that in Granitec0unty
the commissioners adopted the OPP
posite course, elected supervisors
and shut out the surveyor. The
officer proposes to find out who Is
right and has commenced a friendly
action to that end.
Nineteen cars of poisoned sheep
passed through Billings last week
consigned to Chicago. They were

nate to strike a poisoned range.
Eight hundred OF his sheep died be-
tween Missoula and Forsyth and
several hundred bet Forsyth
and Glendive. Out of the 10 cars he
had but a few sheep left that were
free from the poison.

A man must reap as he sows. If he sows
iil-health he Will reap ill-health. If he
neglects his health the weeds OF disease
will grow up and choke it.
1t is daily and hourly marvel that men
will recklessly neglect their health, when
a moments thought should tell them that
they are counting death. 1t lies in most
every mans power to live to green old
age If a man would only take the same
care of himself that he does of his horse, or
COW, or dog, he would enjoy good health.
When a man owns a hundred-dollar horse,
and it gets sick, he does not waste any time
about doctoring him up. When his garden
gets full of weeds, he doesn't delay about
roofing them out, for he knows they will
choke out his vegetables. When he is out
of sorts, sick, nervous, headachey, has no
appetite and is restless and sleepless at
night, he pays little attention to it. The
result is consumption, nervous prostration
or SOME serious blood or skin disease. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
best of all medicines for hard working men.
1t gives edge to the appetite, facilitates the
