FOR A NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
Kendall District Will Vote Bonds fol-
Handsome Structure.

TIdHuo0UIC SttdCtuESs
At a meeting OF the Kendall school
board held last Monday evening,
says the Cronicle. 1t was decided to
hold a special election In Kendall for
the purpose OF voting $4,000 bonds
against the school district, the same
to draw interest not to exceed six
per cent and for n period OF time not
to exceed ten years. The county
assessors affidavit Of the assessed
valuation of this district has not yet
been received, but Assessor Pick
stated that 1t was enough to levy
$4,000 bonds against the district
without working any hardship upon
the people, The election will lake
place on Friday, June 81, in the Deer
field Mercantile Co.'S old store. 1t Is
proposed to build a large two-roOm
frame school house that will afford
ample accommodations for a large
increase In the number Of children
here, OF school age. Every precau-
ton has been taken to have the elec-
ton legal In every way, and there
need no longer be any doubt but that
next fall there will be a we'll equipped
school with competent teachers to
instruct the young Of Kendall.

THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Gist Of the Contention Between Eng
land and the United States.

Within a month the American men,
bers of the Alaskan boundary com
mission will be in London, ready for
the presentation of their side of the
controversy. A dispatch from Oys-
ter Bay that the American
case has been fully made up and that
Secretary Root and Senator'S Lodge
and Turner have carefully reviewed
the papers with the president. From
all accounts the English lawyers who
represent the other side of the con-
troversy have been surprised at the
length of the American contention as
far as il has been revealed. On the
merits of the case. the stronger side
of the argument, is with the United
States,
Despite the frequently expressed
opinion that no results will be reach
ed By the commission and that it will
divide on national lines, there appears
to be good reason t believe that a
decision will be reached and that It
will be favorable to the American
contention. This belief is strength
ened by the fact that the deciding
vote in the commission is that of an
eminent English jurist. whose juris-
diction is To be confined solely TO the
questions Of law and who can reach
his conclusions without undue nation
al bias,
The real point 10 be decided is what
was the real nature of the under
standing between England and Rus
STA as 10 the location OF the boundary.
If this is admitted TO he the vital
point az issue. the American case is
won. for all records and surveys. by
Russia. England and the United
States, public and private, place the
boundary between Alaska and Cana
ia exactly where the Americans now
contend that it should be. There Is
not q public or private map that does
not show the boundary in this loca-
ton.
1t was not until the discovery OF the
Alaskan gold fields that any question
was raised by Canada as 10 the loca-
ton OF the boundary line. When a
coast outlet became desirable and ter
ritoTy that had been considered bar
rem and worthless became immense
ly rich-then the boundary contention
was raised. Law and precedent ap'
pear TO favor the American case and
II Is believed that an amicable settle
ment OF the question will be reached
by the commission.

WINS
BY ONE RUN
Boys From the Western Village Out
Play the lewistown Base Ball
Aggregation.
MORE PRACTICE is NEEDED HERE
lewistown Has the Material, But
Some Changes Are Necessary to
Get a Winning Team.

An account of what Lewistown fail
ed to do to Utica in the game of the
great American pastime last Sunday
afternoon would take more space than
a narrative OF what they did do to
their country cousins from the west
end. 1t looked like one of those lead
pipe cinches you hear so much about;
it a going to be simply a runaway
race, with the Lewistown boys hold
ing up a little on the stretch to pre-
vent the cor from appearing redicu-
lous. Il certainly did look easy.
There's something wrong when a team
from a town of 1000 people have it
handed to them, popularity speaking,
by an aggregation from a little coun-
try village. And If there is something
wrong there ought to be a change.
The Lewistown boys have the fac
ulty of going up in the air when the
rooters turn loose against them. OF
course, the rooters should not do such
a thing; but there is some e~xtenua-
tion of the offense when the other team
is made up of boys from a village
which is, in reality, a suburb of Lew.
istown. This place has enough base
ball material for a good team, but evil
IDENTIFY 1t has not yet developed. The
boys have not an iota of team work
and their hitting is lamentably weak.
Both Of these deficiencies are partial
ly excusable, however. in view of the
fact that the grounds have been in
very poor condition most of the time.
But the players could do more prac-
ticing. There can never be a ball
team SO long as the only practice con.
sists in throwing around the ball for
about fifteen minutes before the
game.
The Utica boys deserve a lot of cred
it for the manner in which they pull
ed out of what seemed almost certain
defeat. The home boys, as usual,
started in with a rush and piled up Is
runs in the first three innings. The
visitors got five during that time and
the game stood about that way until
the seventh inning when the balloon
containing the Lewistown players
vent up. When they got down to
earth the Uticans had crossed the
plate nine times, but were yet two
uns behind. They made these in the
mex inning and finally won out with
the score 10 to IS. A return game
will be played in Utica m week from
Sunday. The regular cor was not
present so a tabulated score a not
kept. Doesn't make much difference,
passent it might be said to the char.
is We wouldn't give it anyway. En-
ter members of the Knockers Cluo
that Lewistown will have base ball all
summer, their hammers to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

COWBOY TO CATTLE KING
Man Who Formerly Rode Montana
Ranae Reyisits Old Scenes.

Great Falls. July 21.-Among the
visitors in the city, a guest at the
Park hotel, has been III. s. Boice, CT
Kansas lily, who is n of the larg-
est cattlemen of his section of the
country. He comes to Montana to see
old friends whom he knew years ago
when he rode the range in the Treas
ure state-in the days when the range
was not overcrowded and he had all
the room a man could desire.
When his sphere became contracted
Mr.. Boice moved away and in his new
home his energies brought to him sub
stantial reward, so that the cowboy
of years ago has been TRANSFORMED
into the wealthy cattlemen of today.
The ranch Of the Boice Cattle Co. Is
II Of the country's well known
ranches, being in Oklahoma, Kansas
and Colorado, and embracing moe
than 100000 acres. There are more
than 200 miles Of fence on the ranch
The vast stretch Of country Is used as
a breeding ground for stock and more
than 5000 calves are raised there each
year. The stock includes about lO,OOO
cows.
Speaking Of the conditions In his
section Mr.. Boice said that last VIA
ter was mild generally. nut near the
close Of the cold season the section
was visited by a heavy snow storm
which caused some losses. The wheat
crop of Kansas will break all records

Mr.. Boicc's first work on the range
