QUEEN or THE CARNIVAL.
A Well Known Young Lady Of lewistown is
Candidate Tor the Position.

Miss Stella Mackey OF Lewistown
has accepted the nomination as can
didate for the position OF Queen of
the Great Falls Carnival and, owing
TO the fact that she is eminently suit
ed to fill the position and is the only
candidate from Fergus county, her
chances OF election should be good.
II Miss Mackey's friends and those
DESTROYS of seeing the representative
OF Fergus county come to the front
in this matter, will devote a part of
their energies, both financially and
socially, to the support Of their can
didate the election will no doubt re-
suit in victory. Each vote costs ten
cents and any person may vote as
many times as their financial re-
sources will allow. The ballot box
and forms are Mt the postofice and
Gus Runzler will take great pleasure
in instructing voters how to "hx"
their ballot.
In the event OF the lady not being
elected queen she may attain the pc.
sition OF maid OF honor by being one
Of four next highest to the winning
vote. There are twelve candidates
for the position as follows:
Miss Mae sutton, Neihart.
Miss Stella Mackey, Lewistown.
Miss Helen Blair, Belt.
Miss Catherine Kohnen, Great Falls.
Miss Nellie krebs, Great Falls.
Miss Edith Chase, Great Falls.
Miss Mamie Mcdonald, Great Falls
Miss Emma Devine, Great Falls.
Miss Ruth Heagy, Great Falls.
Miss Pearl Kennedy, Choteau.
Miss Luella Hodson, Cascade.
Miss Kitty Burns, b. x NJ. Smelter,
Great Falls.
1t will be seen that the Great Falls
vote is badly split, which should
make Miss Mackey's chances much
more favorable, as the Fergus county
vote will be solid.
The float, to be used by the queen
and her attendants in the parade
will be n masterpiece Of decorative
art and will be drawn in a rega.
manner by magnificent horses.
Voting commenced last Saturday
and will continue until midnight
June 18th.

Use of Dead Timber.

The commissioner Of the general land
Office has made ruling that bug killed
timber on mining claims may be sold in
the regular way. Heretofore it has been
the rule that timber on mining clai ms
could be cut and used only in the devel'
opment of the claims on which it was
standing. Under the new ruling it will
be possible for the owners of claims on
which there is timber that has been kill
ed by the pine beetles to purchase 1t by
making application in the regular form,
and it may then be used for the devel-
opment OF other claims, or be disposed
of on the public market in the form OF
wood or lumber. There is a large amount
of timber standing in various parts OF
the Black Hills that has been killed by
the insects. 1t is constant menace to
the timber OF the region, and it would,
therefore, be a benefit and a Safeguard
to have it removed. 1t would be an
easy matter for fires to start in this dead
timber, and they won.d Invariably re-
suit in the destruction Of q vast quantity
of green and sound timber. 1t is with a
view to protecting the sound and healthy
timber that the commissioners has pro-
mulgated his new ruling.

Lead Wednesday evening between Poin
dexter and Streeter, says: The mill was
a good one as far as it went, but came to
a sudden termination in the fourth round
when decision was given in Poindex-
ter's favor on foul administered by
Streeter. Up to the end of the battle
was generally in Streeter's favor. In
the fourth round the referee separated
the contestants after clinch and before
a clean break was secured Streeter de.
livered blow considerably below the
belt, upon which the referee decided in
Poindexter's favor. 1t was generally
conceded that Referee Arkell acted with
fairness and promptness. The blow be-
low the belt was undoubtedly foul and
on technicalitics Poindexter was enti.
tied to the decision, but the great ma
iority of the audience were disappointed
in not seeing the fight go to finish.
