TO ENTERTAIN VISITORS.
Suggestions Concerning the Wool Buy
ing Season Next Year.

suggestions concerning the WOOL Buy.
ing Season Next Year.
While they recognize the fact that
it is too late to take any action this
season and that there is ample time
to move before the next, yet those re
sponsible for the suggestion herein
embodied believe that it is never too
early to begin moving in the direction
of doing good, especially if that good
is calculated to benefit an entire com
munity, hence the publicity now Civ
en- to the matter in which they are
deeply interested. The suggestion
limited at has for it's object the provid-
ing of entertainment for the numerous
wool growers who annually visit the
city during the when the
market is at it's height. AS is we'll
during that period seldom visit any
city at any other time and consequent
ly when they do come look forward to
the occasion as affording an oppor-
tunity for a little recreation and pleas
ure. While this city is, perhaps, no
worse off as far as public places of
amusement are concerned than are
the others to which the sheepmen
must go when selling their product,
yet no effort has ever been made by
it's citizens to entertain the visitors
and add to their pleasure an! comfort
while here and at the same time, give
them proof of the pleasure felt at
their presence. To furnish a little
variety and at the same time give the
visitors a taste of Billings hospitality
next year is the object of several of
the prominent local wool growers who
make their home here. They have
taken hold in earnest and confidently
count upon the cooperation of the cit
liens at large. 1t is not their inten-
ton to undertake anything involving
the expenditure of large sums Of
money, but something, while modest,
will yet be an assurance of friendly
feeling and appreciation.
While as yet no definite plan of en-
tertainment has been decided upon,
the v in the scheme think it
might be a good idea to adopt in a
modified form the style of entertain
ment annually provided by the people
of Miles City for the delegates to the
stockgrowers meeting. They also
think that the privileges of the Bill
ings club should be rendered to the
strangers while in the city, while an
occasional hop or open air concert by
the band might prove a pleasing addi-
ton and tend to make their stay more
pleasant. One. of the gentlemen who
is interested in the matter
The Gazette that not a few of the wool
growers who come from long distances
have complained to him of the lack
of amusement and diversion afforded
here and some of them were inclined
not to come here any more because of
the want they felt in that direction,
saying that they were treated better
by the citizens of Great Falls and al
ways could depend upon having a
good time whenever they went to that
market.

ish authorities at SaIonica hear that
Miss Ellen Stone. the captured Ameri-
can missionary, and Nine. Tsilka, her
companion, are both dead, and that
their remains were buried at the viii
lage of Alidere, in the district of Dub

died after childbirth, and Miss Stone is
said to have succumbed to grief and
hardship. The brigands are alleged
to have dispersed after the deaths of
their captives. The report is Giscred-

ing here is that the strongest pressure
by the United States is necessary to
compel Bulgaria to effect the release
of the prisoners.
