Three Weeks.

Lysle, the oldest child of Mr.. and
Mrs. J.. T. Martin who reside about
four miles south of town, died at the
city hospital Friday evening ut 8
o'clock al the result of being kicked in
the head by a horse over three weeks
ago. When the accident first occurred
IL was not thought 10 be 50 serious
but the examination Of a physician
showed a fracture of The skull for
which an operation was necessary.
The operation was perfo mel but the
brain had suffered serious injury from
the kick and although everything pos
sible was done for the lad he gradual
ly sank until the end became a mat
ter of hours. His rugged constitution
and determination to live prolonged
the battre for several days but the
death angel triumphed and on Thurs
day the lad fell into a sleep whi.h two
days later ended in death. The funer-
al services were conducted from the

NEW ELECTRIC
LIGHT STATION
John L. Bright, Manager Of the s't'
zens' Electric Light Company
Makes Announcement.
FOR SIX THOUSAND LAMPS
Machinery Has Been Ordered and
Work Will Begin on Building
Within a Few Weeks.

j. l.. Bright, president and manager
of the Citizens Electric Company, has
announced the intention of the COM
pany to commence, in the near future,
on a new $4,000 power plant. The
present plant has been inadequate for
the needs Of Lewistown for some time
past although the company has spared
no cost to make it efficient; $500 hav-
ing been spent in improvements during
the past year. But finally having re-
allied that IL is merely a waste of money
to attempt TO make the old plant SUBJ
serve the growing needs Of the city, the
company decided upon a new plant and
before the first OF May active operations
shall have been begun of the building
which will be built of stone and in the
most substantial manner 1t is not
positively determined exactly where
the new plant will he built. Mr.. Bright
has selected u site about four miles
above the present plant and If all of
the rights of way can be secured it will
be put up there. The site affords an
excellent location for the plant on ac-
count OF the fine water fall which can
be easily secured. With very little
ditching an actual fall of 67 feet, max.
ing an actual head of Ga feet, may be
utilized. This will generate 500 horse
power, sufficient for 5000 lamps, or all
of the power which Lewistown will
need for all purposes for a long time tc
come. Although President Brigh,
thinks that he will have no particular
difficulty in securing the possession,
necessary for the location of the plan
up the creek, in the event that som,
unfavorable circumstances intervenes
the plant will be located on Main stree
over beyond the mill. A good fall cal
be secured there and il will be NOR,
convenient In some ways but general,
speaking the location up the creek il
the more desirable. The old plant will
remain as it is and will be used as al
auxiliary to the new plant.
The machinery for the new plant hai
been ordered and will be here by tn,
time the building is ready which will
be sometime in the early summer.

the pleasant greeting given the report
er when one evening last week he fell
in upon four of Lewistown's young
bloods" seated about a table in a booth
at the Davenport.
On the table were dishes of raw oys-
tiers, a plate Of sandwiches, side dish
es OF olives, sailed almonds, etc., and
on the floor stood a bucket, just left
by the waiter, containing several bot
ties of champagne. 1t Cooked good"

etoscopic sequence and d|istinctness
each have moved across the stage and
have played their part, physically
pyschologically and often unconsci-
ously, in the dramatic history.
Men created a new state-Mon-
tana! They did not know they were
but fulfilling the laws of destiny-but
Nature knew!
Montana is aggressive and progress
sive. She could not play a small part.
She was fashioned on too broad a
gauge. too big a plan. She has been
developed by men who, living the
strenuous life, do things that count
for advance and prosperity. Every
thing about her is large. She is the
third largest state in the Union. She
produces the most wealth per capita
of any state in the Union and her peo-
pie are the most universally prosper
GUS. Her mountains are magnificent
her lakes marvels.
Montana has the largest copper
camp in the world. Her sapphire
mines are duplicated only in far-away
Siam and Ceylon. Her gold and sill
yer productions runs yearly into the
millions of dollars, and her coal fields,
although merely in their beginning,
will in time be as wealth producing.
Her iron is bound to be to her what
the Meseaba range is to the individual
states of Minnesota and Pennsyl-
vania, without the disadvantage OF
having to be mined in one state and
carried to another for manufacture,
She has unbounded wealth in cattle
horses and sheey. and her %agricultur
al resources. just beginning to be de
veloped, are as great as any state in
the whole west.
Montana has more large rivers
than any other state. Witness: the
Missouri, the Kootenai, the Yellow
stone and the Flathead, to mention
only four. and she has the falls o.
the Missouri!
When one comes t appraise all o.
M~ontana's treasures the conviction
is forced upon HIM that her rivers
with their unlimited water power. ar,
among the greatest and best of al
her treasures. Copper stocks ma,
fuetuate. silver may depreciate, golC
mines may 'pincn out. and all othe'
sources of revenue may have periods
of depression. Gems are for thu
wealthy and scenery does not ~satisf.
a hungry man but water power tina
can be utilized at : reasonable cos
is the greatest natural gift that car
be enjoyed by a state or community.

town we fellows had to rustic around
md a girl to fill out a set and then
II was that there we're some Maria
ges. In those days the girls could be
independent and II was a lucky man
that got one, but now that they are
at every bi-week gathering
we've got the upper hand and II looks
like some of you fellows were trying
to give the girls the worst of II. Why,
don't you know that it is the aim of
every girl in life to get married and
to drive the best bargain she can while
doing It! They don't only want to
get married but they want to have a
snap-that's the way mothers bring
'em up these days; that it's the duty
OF the man to get up first and get the
breakfast, work all day and take what
he gets for supper and when you get
home from the store at eight thirty
shove yourself into a SIS suit and go
out for the evening. And you've got
to fit that wife of yours out in a new
$40 dress every month and a new SIS
hat four times a year and give about
three 'swells' every season at a cost
of twenty-five or thirty plunks every
time, or you amt treating your wife
right as your mother-inlaw will say"
"And that's just what we're kickin'
on" responded Harry. I'm the home |
left in the east my mother did the
work, my father had his evenings at
home, and when my brother and l
came west, dad was able to make a
divvy II weed let him, and he never
earned over $50 a week. We were not
the only things in town | know, but
we boys had a good time, went around
with just as nice girls as the census
man ever found In Lewistown and
wore just as good clothes. Out here
a fellow has to have two wardrobes of
Fifth avenue dress, for when they
get up a small dancing party half of
the men come in s~wallow-tails and
half the women in low neck, and be-
|, sides costing you three big dollars for
your share of the expense the girl has
to have a feed at a cost of two or
!, three more and before you get that
girl home the chances r that about
three days wages are gone over the
5 wheel"
That amt altogether a square deal
for the girls, but 1t hits some of them
, in this mans town Just about right"
! said George, land you might add that
the chances are that If you don't do
that just pretty regular with some of
'em, you get the frosted smile before
:, you can turn down your coat collar in
the spring."
IF you fellows don't quit telling
your troubles and get in this game
n right quick 1t will can about ten

Believed to Be Due to For
est Fires.
CITY WRAPPED IN A HAZE
Sun Completely Obscured and Atmos-
dition in Cities North of Here.

Smoke from the Northern forest fires
and fog hid the sun this morning, and
reminded Washingtonians of the fight
which lumbermen are making in New
York, New Hampshire, and Maine 20
check the flames which have been rag
ing for several weeks. For forty eight
hours New York and Boston have been
under cloud OF smoke, which hides
the sun. Washingtonians have noticed
a naZiness about the horizon which was
supposed to be due to smoke, but it was
not known TO be such until this morn
ing. when it hung like a pail over the
city
The smell of burning pine is not no
ticeable in this city. but officials at the
Weather Bureau say the haze la un-
doubtedly caused by the forest fires.
Smoke from power plants was held oxsT
the city this morning by the fog, and
emphasized the haze due TO the Northern
fires.
At O'Clock this morning the relative
humidity was 81, and the fog and smoke
made il impossible TO see across q
street. The fog disappeared in few
hours. bur houses were still filled with
smoke, the sun was obscured. and in all
directions blue haze was visible.
Fires which have broken out in the
New Jersey forests are supposed TO be
responsible fer much of the smoke seen
in Washington, although it is conceded
that the smoke from the terrible fires in
the Adirondacks may also have reached
this city.
