State Newspapers Speak Of the Prosperity
of the Magic City.
| Anaconda Recorders Billings is said
to be the liveliest town in the state at
present Az an evidence of this, it is
pointed out that it supports two variety
theaters. However Billings is rapidly
going to the front. The new coal min
ing camps, as we'll as some of the older
ones, are tributary to Billings. A pro.
life livestock and farming country sur
rounds her and she has every cause to
look forward to u great future.
Livingston Post: It has become the
fashion lately for the towns Of Mon.
tana to exploit their superiority in
vain phrase and arrogate to themselves
all the blessings that bounteous nature
and benign providence have to bestow.
Billings has done this. Acting on the
old proverb which says that he who
hath horn and bloweth it not, verify
the same shall not be footed" the
Magic city has been heralded abroad by
her excellent press and enterprising
citizens as the place where fortune
smiles with perennial pleasantness
Billings today ia famed abroad, her
real estate is rising and in the midst of
an alkali fiat has arisen city which is
up.to.date in more particulars than one,
1t Is easily done. It must be when
such boom az Billings seems to be en-.
joying can be made out Of the raw ma.
terial the boomers there had to start
with. Here in Livingston and the
country are opportunities which need
only to be seen to be appreciated, en-.

monwealth-a splendid section of

the front. A year hence will see q
great change. It is time to prepare.

Justic Kelly Saturday. Friday after.
noon the police arrested James Whalen,
who was charged with having held up

When arrested Whalen denied having
done SO and said that it was just the
other way-Reilly had robbed him and
he had then held Reilly up to get his
money back, which amounted to about
$50. Reilly was also hunted up and
placed in Jail. At the hearing Satur-
day the county attorney decided that
Whalen should not be held and he was
accordingly turned loose. Reilly was
bound over to the district court on a
charge Of grand larceny.

The Veterans Reunion At Marienville.

The occasion of the fourth annual re-
union of the Forest County Soldiers As
sOciation, held at Marienville last week,
was perfect success and reflects great
credit upon the patriotic people of the
stirring young city of Marienville. The
day was perfect one in every respect.
The business meeting of the Association
at 1000 a. m. was full of lie as well as
harmony. The only contest was for the
meeting place of the Association next
year, which on a close vote was decided
in favor of Endeavor. ClaringtOn will
have little or no opposition for the honor
in 1901. Comiade W. f. Witherell of
Endeavor was elected President of the
Association, having no opposition for
SAID honor. The past Secretary and
Treasurer were reelected for the coming
year.
Marienville has long since been noted
for its good things as we'll as for its good
people, nor was this an exceptional occa-
sion. In speaking of the dinner we can
do no more than to quote Judge Irwin /:
