THEY WILL INCORPORATE.
in Charge of Gymnasium Pro.
iect Will Put Up a Buildinu,

There have been some inquiries
made concerning the progress OF the
Lewistown gymnasium, and 1t may be
stated that the ladies are now max.
ing arrangements to incorporate and
will buy a lot and put up a suitable
building. It was found to be impos.
sible to find any place in the city
which would at all meet the require.
ments Of a gymnasium but Culver's
hall. and for several reasons il is
hardly available, SO the ladies decid-
ed to follow the advice of some Of the
business men of the city and incor-
porate.
#. C. Power has offered them the lot
back of the Power Mercantile Co.'S
store for a nominal figure and in all
likelihood his offer will be accepted
and work begun on a building as soon
as possible, All of the apparatus has
been here for some time and those
having the matter in charge are max
ing every endeavOr to get the appar.
atus in a building. so that II may be

US BEGIN
TO GET READY
The Fourth Of July is Drawing Apaee
and Lewlstown Should ceIe.
brate In Proper Style.
MUST MAKE A STRAIT EARLY
But Two Months Until the Great
pay-The Railroad Would Help
But Is Not a Necessity.

Although two months yet intervene
before Independence day rolls around,
it is not too early to start to agitat-
ing the question of celebration. Such
things are not worked up In n day
or a week, and In order to make the
celebration q success we must get to
work, advertise the fact and thus get
in our claims to the attendance Of
those who might be tempted TO go
elsewhere to vent their patriotic fer
vor.
Nothing so advertises a town as a
genuine whoop-iem-up, noisy, exciting
Fourth of July. 1t is the great nation.
al holiday and people who never rest
another day in the year take a lay
off on the glorious Fourth and go
where they are most likely to have
a good time.
Lewistown is peculiarly well situ-
ated for holding successful events OF
that sort. In the midst of a vast
territory. containing no small num-
Der of people. II can, with the proper
advertising, attract a crowd that will
fill the streets, alleys and adjacent
fields. But no tame affair will do.
Our visitors from the plains and min
ing camps want their moneys worth.
and in order to give 1t to them the
citizens of this city will have to busy
themselves with preparations some
days before the eventful Fourth. All
will have to work together, special
committees be appointed, consider
able money raised and all the neces-
sary arrangements for thoroughly en-
t~ertaining a tremendous crowd per-
fected.
Nothing would add more to the
success of such a celebration than to
have a sure enough engine with some
sure enough cars come into this place
along about the Fourth.
President Harlow and Manager Rob-
ertson, Of the Montana railroad. are
emphatic in saying that the road will
be here by July. II they want to
make themselves everlastingly solid
with every human being in Lewistown
and the Judith Basin, let them be
ready to come in here early In the
morning of the Fourth Of July next.
Let them do that n n people Will
certainly rise up and call them blessed.
The little p~yrotechnic display down
in st. Louis tne other day, when S25,.
900 worth of Celestial fire works were
turned loose, would be tame beside
the demonstration over here in the
Judith Basin. But bad weather and
untoward circumstances may conspire
to delay the railroad for a few days,
and we should not base u hopes too
strongly on that event; but rains
SHOWS and earthquakes cannot pre-,
vent the Fourth from rolling in on
time, and we should be ready to greet
her in an appropriate manner; hail
her with joyous shouts. glorify her
with words Of eloquehce from the lips
of our favorite sons. and proclaim
her our Strengthening devotion to the
glorious principles Of which she IL
the natal day.

Two Good Claims Bonded.


II. o. Wareham, of Kendall, j. l..
Stuart and DR.. w. A. Long, of this
city, have bonded to Salt Lake par
ties the Ansonia and Stand Pat claims
lying just north of the Barnes-King
In the North Moccasin district. The
bond is for 100000, and was negoti-
ated through Frederick A. Earls, Of
Salt Lake, who was in this city some
time since. Nothing but the necessary
representation work has been done
on the property, but as 1t is practi.
cally the same kind of ground as the
Barnes-King, being simply an exten.
sion of the hill. of which the famous
payer is a part, the prospects for de-
veloping a good mine are of the
brightest. The new company will go
to work developing the claims within
a short while and expect to accomplish
considerable work this summer.

KANSAS SCHOOLS IN DANGER
Low SALARIES DRIVING GOOD TEACH
ERs INTO OTHER LINES.
I. L. Dayhohs State superintendent, say
the Average Pay Of PedagOgues Is
Only 1855 Month for
2 Half Year.

IL. DayhoH, state superintendent OF
public instruction, says Kansas viii not
long retain the high standard OF its pub
lie schools unless the school teachers OF
the state are paid better wages. The
average salary Of a man teacher IN Kan
sas is 1855 a month for six months of a
year. MIR. Dayhof believes that the ex-
perienced teachers will not work much
longer for such wages when they can
make more at manual labor.
"The cost Of living has advanced so
rapidly" says Mr. DayhOff, that the
teachers are unable to pay their expenses
unless they work at something outside
of their profession. The result is that
many old teachers have gone into other
business. If Kansas desires to keep ab-
reast OF the time the salaries OF its teach
ers must be increased. While the wages
paid Kansas teachers are small, the
standard Of teachers is high.
"WheE a man teacher can work on a
farm OF drive street car or be a police
man and make two or three times the
money he makes in school, it IS not sur
prising that he gives up the school.
Considering the requirements for school
teaching, the expensive education and
training necessary for work. it is an out
rage that he is compelled to work for a
third or a fourth the salary paid to a
statehouse ianitor, who may not be able
to either read or write"
According to statistics recently COM
piled Kansas pays her teachers lower
wages than the great majority of the
states of the union, even including Ar
kansas.
State Superintendent DayhOf has pre-
pared a circular giving the vacancies in
schools which be will send out for the
assistance Of county suPerintendents and
unemployed teachers. He hopes that by
doing this many of the vacancies will be
filed.
Following are the number Of teachers

Conaictinr Tendencies.

The following paragraph is food for
thought. 1t Is taken from a paper by
Clara E Laughlin in the November De
lineator. The article contains some ex-
cellent advice for young married people:
IN the world of matter, achievement
Is everywhere accomplished Just by the
operation of conflicting tendencies.
Everything in nature has to overcome IN
order to fulfill its unequivOcal destiny.
Not a tiniest hnmming-bird wings the
air Of the June blue heaven but trium-
phantly resists the laws Of gravitatiOn
and friction. And not the smallest grain
of sand is shifted from point TO point 90
the seashOre but by energy which has
first overcome the static resistance OF
the grain to movement. Does it argue
discOrd IN nature, because tendencies
operate against one another? Not at all
The bird beats Its wings in fight, then
with pinions spread, drops back to earth
again by the power Of gravitatiOn; the
sand crystal shifts, with wind or wave
then resumes, for a time, its static re
sistance. Nature depends on alienation:
for her harmony, yet the world has never
seemed to feel that God intended hsr

fiicting tendencies"
