The following is taken from Portland
paper for the benefit of friends interested
here:
At the Congress street Methodist
Church, Portland, Rev. Mr.. Bovard read
the following memorial notice of Adam
Lamont: Adam Lamont was born in
Danvile, Me Dec 10, 1898, and after a
short but painful illness died March 8.
1901 He came to Portland when a
young man and entered upon an active
business career. He was richly endowed
by nature and by grace with those per-
sonal qualities which won the lasting
friendship of his associates and neighbors.
He was amiable, genial, large hearted,
generous and sympathetic. He was ac-
customed to look on the bright side and
when there was no bright side, "he
would shine up the dark side". He was
a wholesome man. His friendship was a
benediction. He joined the Congress ST.
Church when DIR. Pitblado was pastor and
remained faithful until the end His
loyalty to the church expressed itself in
untiring devotion. AS an official member
he was so willing and active that no one
ever thought to even hint at indifference.
The community will miss the good man
and righteous citizen. This congregation
will miss his cordial welcome at the door,
his familiar figure passing up and down
the aisle receiving the offering. The
official board will miss the patient, gener-
Gus co-laborer The pastor will miss the
reverent, devout listener and faithful
counselor. The family, most of all, will
miss the kind affectionate, indulgent
husband and father. their burden-bearer
and their shield.

John M. Rapeljie of Glendive was
in Billings Sunday. Mr.. Rapeljie has
resigned his position as trainmaster of
the Yellowstone division of the
Northern Pacific railroad. The duties

be absent from home to an extent in

Justice Fraser was able to come

ever struck any city and have been
up in the police court on divers occa-

too glad to shake the dust Of Billings
from their feet when their term is

SUIT FOR WAGES.

William Kelliher VS.. the Burling-

pany is the title of a case which will
be heard in Justice Mann's court to-
morrow. Kelliher has brought suit
against the railroad to recover $118.76
as wages for services performed on the
company's telephone line. The sum
comprises the accounts of four other
men who assigned them to Kelliher.
The railroad company will probably
settle the case today. 1t claims that
the money is not due until January
10, only two days distant, but will
pay the claim rather than allow it to
go to trial.

AFTER FRATERNAL ORDERS.
Insurance Lobby Will Work for Bill to
Supervise Them.

The insurance men of Butte will
send a strong lobby to Helena for the
passage of a bill, which will be intro
duced Immediately after the conven-
ing of the legislature, and which
will provide for the placing of frater-
nal insurance ordered under state
supervision.
The bill is being prepared by a Butte
attorney, and will require frate, nal
insurance companies to make regular
reports to the state auditor, as the old
line companies are required to do.
Officers Of the various fraternal life
insurance orders Of Butte, in published
interviews, are inclined to resent the
proposed legislation. They say the
representatives of the old line COM
panies do not relish the fact that fra
ternal insurance is popular in the
state, and the proposed law is intend
ed to check the growth Of order insur-
ance, and is framed in the interest of
old line companies doing business.

RECOGNIZED.
Billings School Placed on Accredited List
of State High Schools

The state board Of education has
recently re%organized the list Of accred-
tied high schools of this state. Sew
eral Of the schools formerly embraced
in this list have been dropped, and
one or two others were added to it.
Among the newer ones receiving this
distinction is the Billings high school.
It is understood that the present list Of
accredited schools includes Butte,
Anaconda, Helena, M~issoula, Bozeman
and Billings. This list is given from
memory and may not be exact, but
the present number Of accredited
schools does not exceed six or seven.
It is no small honor for any school to
be rated as worthy a place in this list.
Such schools receive the public en-
dorsement of the state board of edu-
cation concerning fitness of equipment,
merit of study ~curriculums, and quality
of teaching force.
Hereafter every graduate of the
Billings high school can enter. with
out further examinations, the state
university, state college, state normal
school or state school of mines.
This recognition of the Billings
high school has been brought about
by the efforts of the board of school,
trustees which has done and is doing
everything in it's power to place the
schools of this city in the front ranks
Of the educational institutions of Mon
tana. The board has done this by Sc
curing nothing but the most compe
tent teaching corps and placing thu
schools in the hands of trustworthy
and able executive management.
