Father" Francis Clark, the good
shepherd of the Christian Endeavorers,
took too much time to study the North
Coast Limited train schedule at Spo-
kane and missed connections. AS a re-
suit the delegates attending the annual
state convention, now in progress at the
Presbyterian church, were disappointed
in their expectation of seeing him this
afternoon. A dispatch from the noted
EndeavOrer was received this morning
by the secretary, stating that he will be
here on the train which arrives in Butte
at midnight.
The second days session opened
auspiciously with song and praise SER
vice conducted by Miss Grace King, fol-
lowed by roll call. At the conclusion o.
roll call every delegate was required to
hand a card, on which was written his
| or her name, to the secretary.
Reports were read by the secretaries
of "a societies throughout the state.
| They showed in general that the finan-
cial condition of the various organiza-
| tions is all that could be expected. The
newly formed societies seem, if anything,
to be doing better than those that have
been in existence for years.
| Two interesting papers on the Junior
4 society were read. Mrs. J. N. Mclean
/ of Bozeman discussed Its Relation to
the Senior Society," while Miss Emma
! Truscott of Anaconda took as her theme
Its Relation to the Sunday School"

cu.sed from different standpoints in

contention they We're supported by Rsv.
w. N. Sloan of Helena, while Mrs. Nc

society. The general consensus Of opin-
ion on the part of the delegates was IN.

The exercises were interspersed with
songs by the choir, by the united So
cieties and choir and by the congregation

A CUT IN MILK.
John Williams Is Underselling the
Milkmen's Organization,

Some time ago the milk dealers in
this city, inspired with the prevailing
fashion of organization which was go
ing on all through the valley, decided
to form Il union Of their own. The
plan met with great favor among all
the dealers and a meeting was held
and u. tariff of prices drawn up. Among
the most radical of the results was
a change in the price of milk for the
summer months. Hitherto the price
has been cents a quart after April /.
This year the new organization de-
cided to maintain a price of cents
after that date.
All dealers in the city, but one, have
steadfastly stuck to this price for the
past two weeks. The exception is
John Williams, who, besides owning a.
large farm outside the city limits, is
also part owner of the Hotel American
here. He has kept his price at s cents
and has thereby made himself dislked
by the organization. A member of the
latter body said yesterday afternoon
that. although it was true that the
price of milk has been advanced this
spring beyond the rate of former years.
Yet the members of the association
derived no benefit from the advance:
it was the farmers who got the bene-
fit, and If the price was lowered to
meet Mr.. Williams figures it would be
The farmer who would have to sustain
the loss While he would not say what
action would be taken by the milk
dealers he intimated that unless Mr..
Williams quit selling below the union
price measures might he taken soon
to bring public sentiment to bear on
the question.
