Inter Mountain Cartoons
Cartoons are powerful things. The one
in the Inter Mountain the day after the
new lIeinze party was started made John
MacGinniss buy him a new suit OF clothes.
In that cartoon and in all others made
by Artist Dutton, the vice president Of
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
has been depicted in that familiar long
tailed, square tailed coat OF country rock
color. It has made the gentleman who
also represents Silver Bow county the

the Inter Mountain struck town the
naturalncss of the picture Of the man who
was doing the pushing was 50 striking
that the Silver Bow man was more than
ever an object OF interest.
II was pleasing but it was embarrass-
ing as well. So today he appeared in
different outfit. The coat is cut Off just

and the trousers are Of dark material with
true issurcs running at equal distance

The rest is an apex as well as dream.

pockets Of gold ore. The tout ensemble
may be said TO show the north and south
veins. the dips and spurs and angles. the
contour Of the hills and the general make
up of the country in and around the
Butte mining district However. il must
be said the vice president OF the Mon
tana ore Purchasing company does not
look so awfully interesting it. He looks
just like many other young men who wear
up.to-date clothes.
