King, made a visit this week to the
county seat.
Mr.. Frank Saversy spent a few
days in Lewistown this week in the
interest of his concert hall.
John Dobson, who has been at Uti-
ca the last week. returned home Sat
urday. He says Kendall looks good
to him.
Mr.. and Mrs. b. B. Reid are in the
camp for a few days the guests of
Mrs. Reds parents. Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Basharn.
This day reminds one very forcibly
Of the day described by Longfellow
when he says. 1T rains, it rains. it
rains" as it has been a constant drip,
drip all day long.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Willard returned
Saturday from Hunters Hot Springs,
where they had been for several
weeks. They both feel much improv-
ed by the outing.
VIM. Abel, of Lewistown, is here
making final preparation for the OPP
ening of his meat market, which will
take place Thursday. Mr.. Abel has
| already made many friends here and
all are glad to see him come.
Mrs. r. NJ. Anderson left last week
for Sioux City, Iowa, where she will
make a prolonged visit with her par
ents. Mrs. Thomas WEIGH accompan-
led her as far as Billings, where the
latter will remain indefinitely.
A new sidewalk is being laid from
Wilson's drug store to the Wedge
saloon. This has been badly needed,
therefore will be of great convent
ence to the pedestrians going that d.
rection. There is lots more room for
the good work.
The many patrons of the Barnes
King company boarding house regret
to learn that Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
LARSEN have decided to quit the bus
mess and vacate. IL Is rumored that
a Lewistown party has already Sc
cured a lease on the building.
One o tfhe heaviest snow storms
of the year prevailed here last Sun
day and Monday, and as a result
about one and one-half feet of snow
covered the ground. Undoubtedly the

The Entire Nous Club will give
the last of their series Of dancing
parties mex Friday evening. These
club dances have been very popular
and afforded great enjoyment to the
lovers of this art. and II Is to be
hoped that the club will be reorganiZ-
ed again after the hot weather is ov-
er. Those in charge should be voted
a card of thanks for their very sue
~cessful management.
A stage, with settings. ETC., has been
placed in the new concert hall. just
what name the new resort Will go
under Is not yet known. The opening
Is to be Monday night and Mr.. Saw
aersy, the proprietor. says he Will
employ only the very best talent and
promises TO present to the public a
first-class performance once or twice
a week. The saloon now In connec-
ton, is in the adjoining building.
Now. that the Lewistown mer-
chants have broken the ice at early
closing IL would not be at all out OF
place If the Kendall business men
would do likewise, The prudent bus
mess man sees the folly Of toiling MS
life away in long hours confined In
the store. while he could sell as much
goods In shorter hours and by being
closed all day Sunday, If he were only
organized into an association. There
is now a move on foot to have the
stores closed Sunday all day n al
a reasonable hour every evening.

CURRENT COMMENT.

About three years ago somebody
suggested in jest the name OF Hon.
Marcus AlOnzo Hanna for the head Of
h republican ticket. 1t was b=fOre
the assassination of William Mckinley,
at any rate. The suggestion was re-
ceived with outlaws in some quarters,
with ridicule in others and with sar-
caSm in others. The Virginian-PilOt at
the time said that Mr.. Hanna was the
logical successor OF Mckinley, in the
situation in which the republican party
found itself. and according to the
policies which it had adopted. h we
said in all seriousness and the success
sion of after-coming events has justi-
fed hat view. With the death Of Nc
kinley the policies for which he stood
suffered serious modification. Despite
ROOseVelt'S promise, he failed to carry
out those policies. The fac Of it was
he couldn't. because he was not built
that way. Two men could hardly be
more radically different than Roosevelt
and Mckinley. Mckinley was suave,
indirect, diplomatic, diScreetly blind, Of
that philosophy that our oil on trOu-
bIed waters and shrinks from the shock
Of avoidable conflict. Roosevelt is
rough, direct, impulsive, courageous
in his way, and a hunter after, trouble.

The completion of the Ogden-Lucien
cutoff on the Southern Pacific railroad
marks the high water point in Amari-
can railroad building. This remarkable
section of line, which is to shorten the
time between New York and San Fan
cisco by two hours, is 1O2 miles long
and extends for 81 miles over the Wa
ters Of Great Salt Lake. The object of
the line is to afford a short cut fro.
Ogden, Utah, to Lucien, New, and the
saving to the company in expense of
operation will be about $1,150 a day.
The possibilities Of railroad building
seem to be but slightly touched upon
by former achievements. and the Salt
Lake cutoff opens up Il new vista.
