Tomorrow the local lodge of Elks will
do itself proud in the entertainment of
the visiting brethren from Livingston
who are coming over the range ON the
special train that brings the Gateway
City baseball nine. This evening a tele-
gram was sent the lodge at Livingston,
them to be present at the Boze-
man lodge room tomorrow with their
friends and partake of the hospitality
which the Elks of Bozeman know SO we'll
how to dispense on all occasions. n
lodge room will be turned into a pam
quet hall, and liquid and other refresh
ments provided for the guests during
their stay in the city. Efforts have been
made lately to secure Cooperation be-
between the Livingston and Bozeman
lodges of Elks, and a strong effort has
been made to bring the Knights OF
Pythias lodges of the two towns to-
gether. The distance separating the
places-only rs miles-is so small that it
seems but a slight difficulty to be over
come, butt experience has shown that it
is hard to keep up the interest with a
range of mountains between two lodges
coquetting in fraternal friendliness.

John Work of this city has sold 5000
head of sheep to Robert Ferguson of
Park county. The flock was ranging in
Park county and is one of the most
profitable bands Of sheep in the coun-
try Mr.. Work is one of the best known
fiockmasters in the state and this latest
deal leaves him without a band of sheep.
He has made a small fortune in the last
few years eout of sheep and wool, and his
Judgment in buying has been prompted
by the confidence in the prosperity that
has swept over the state providing a ris-
ing market for the products of the ranch
and range.
For the past few weeks newspaper
circles in this city have been stirred up
by the reports hat have flown thick and
fast on-the wings of rumor. First it was
said that the Avant Courier had sold
out, and later the report was denied.
Should such a deal be put through it
would cay the republican party in the
county without local representation in
an editorial way, and the members OF
that party here have been quietly pre-
Earring for the expected coup of the DEM
ocrats. If the Doodle barrels succeed in
scooping up the republican paper mere
there will be another organ. which they
cannot buy. in the field inside of forty
eight hours after the transfer of the
property to the boodlers who are crowd
ing into Gallatin county to receive the
worst defeat decency has ever admin
istered to democratic corruption.
