story as among the best. 1t is assured
that the displays will be good. A
handsome silver cup has been offered
for the best disDlay Of apples, which
will doubtless stimulate competition,
but no such Inducements will be nee
tessary.

Library for Hamilton.

The Ministerial Association of this
City has started an agitation 1ooki 6
to the establishment of a public library
in this city. AT the last meeting of
the association a committee consisting
of Rev. j. A. Smith aud Rev. j. F..
Burkhart was appointed to draft reso-
lutions and wait upon the mayer and
have him present the matter to the
city council at the next regular meet
ing. The plan proposed by the minis
ters rs to ask the city and county to
make a levy of one mill, which is al
lowed under the statutes, for library
purposes. With the fund deriv from
this tax, together with such sums as
may be secured by subscription, do
nations ard otherwise, the nucleus Of
showing can be made. it is proposed to
invite Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's atten-
tiOil to the situation in the hope that
he will donate building, as he has for
several Montana towns, Missoula,
kalispel!, Great Falls, Miles City and
Dillon, for instance. Hamilton is of
the class of towns that appeal to MIR.

fact that in a large sense this is a

Jamie is told to get out of the way.
Out of the way of beautiful things,
Out of the way with his games and toys
Out of the way with his sticks and strings,
Out on the street. with the other boys!
Easy to slip from home restraint,
Out of mother-care into the throng,
Out of the way of fret and complaint.
Out of the fold-borne swiftly along.
Out of the way of truth and right,
Out with the bold the reckless the gay,
Out of purity into the night

ANOTHER APPEAL
IN LAND CASES
Would BE LOcatOrs Now go to Wash
dicti0n is at
Stake.

Missoula, Jan. 16.-.A fourth move
was made today in the land Office with
respect to the Bitter Root land cases
which are causing SO much comment.
1t will be remembered that when sew
eral people here FIRST applied to be al
lowed to enter on the Bitter Root
lands title to which were in other peo--
pie, they filed contests against the
original entries. The contests were
rejected by the register and receiver,
who claimed, as they did when they
refused to recognize the applications
that the lands were covered by patents,
and they had no jurisdiction over
them.
The contestants today appealed to
the commissioner Of the general land
office from the decision of the local
authorities in refusing to recognize
the contests and have a hearing in the
case. The appeal says:
cit was an errcr to have dismissed
the contest on the ground that the To-
cal Office had no jurisdiction whatever
over the lands, for the reason that the
patents being null and void pri,na
facie, the land was in the condition as
though it had never been entered, and
the contests therefore should have
been accepted, a hearing upon them
had and the contestants given the
right and privilege to offer proof to
sustain the allegations of illega of
alleged entries of the contestants"
