PROFILE IS
COMPLETED
Line Of the Proposed Electric Road
Between lewistown and Ken.
dali Has Been Surveyed.
ROAD CAN BE BUILT cHEAPLY
Will Follow the Same Direction as
Old Kendall Road and Take in
Creamery and Fair Grounds.

The profile of the proposed electric
line from Lewistown to Kendall has
been completed by the engineers and
all is now in readiness TO organize
a company and begin work, This
has been delayed for a few days for
reasons which John l.. Bright, the
promoter Of the enterprise. did not
care to have published.
1t has been ascertained that the
line can be put in at a far less eX
pense than was at first imagined.
The grade is very small and il will
cost very little to do the necessary
filling and cutting between the two
towns. II is estimated that il could
be put in a maximum cost of 100000.
It is the intention of the promoters
OF the road to organize a LewistOwn
company and get not ia exceed $25,-
100 here, and sell bonds TO outside
parties for the remaining amount.
The company has not yet been organ
lied but no difficulty is anticipated in
getting the business men of Lewis.
town and the ranchers Of the county
sufficiently interested IN the plan to
carry everything through with a rush
when desired. The power will be fur.
nishod from the electric light plant
OF this city and it was this question
of the surplus power that originated
the plan of 4 car line.
According TO the profile, as made
up by the surveyors. the new line
will follow the Kendall road to the
fair ground fence on this side OF the
grounds, then across the lower cor
ner of the grounds and around the
point of the Medigar farm. II will
then cross the road at the old vii.
liam Van Nest ranch, then over the
small divide, crossing the road at the
Austin Van Nest place. From there
ii will swing down into the Colyer
ranch. keeping close TO the hillside
all the way and across the Muller
place and Warm Spring creek at the
eastern end of the Horseshoe Bar
ranch. From that point the line will
follow Bull creek through the Lind
say ranch toward Kendall. entering
the town practically yer the main
road.
With the exception of the first mile
out of Lewistown and the first mile
out Of Kendall the grade will be prac

only institution in the world that pro-

you can't carry on the work of the
church without buildings. Spend
your missionary money at home and
abroad. am sorry TO see the mis-
sionary work separated in w class

church has done in Japan, and | do
not care what the newspapers may
say to the contrary, Japan will break
the despotic power of Russia. Japan
will be to Asia what Great Britain
, has been to Europe. The church is
the singing school of the world to-
day. No inidel ever wrote a great
poem. Infidelity never inspired the
composition of a great piece of mu-
sic. In my church | would have n
anthem at the service and nc more
| would have all the people sing. We
would sing Old Hundred Antioch
and old Coronation in the morning
and old Coronation Antioch and
Old Hundred in the evening, and
America once every two weeks. The
Sunday school songs of America will
save the world if we keep on sing
ing them. The pulpit is the greatest
educator of the American people, and
1t is the great police force, too.
There are four kinds OF work a
church must do. Evangelistic, church
building. educational, building hospi-
tails. This all takes money, and there
are some men in the church who have
so much money that they can't sleep
well nights. | would like to relieve
them of all they have above the sleep
ing point.
There never was a big church
started. They were all little ones to
begin with. The Lord only made one
full grown man. and as he wasn't
much of a success, he never repeated
the experiment. The best thing to
start a man with is a boy. Build the
best church you can afford. but If you
can't afford a large one a small one
Is just as good"
The speaker closed his address with
the request that each member of the
church do all in his power to help
along the work of church extension.

NEW CHURCH OPENED.
Hastily Made Ready for Conference
Of Methodists.

The new Methodist Episcopal
church of this city was opened to the
public Thursday evening and a large
number Were present to hear the ad.
dress by DIR. Robert Forbes, of Phil
adelphia. The building is far from
completed, but chairs had been placed
on the rough flooring and a tempo,
rary platform erected and the church
was crowedd to the doors. A choir
of seventeen young people from the
church led the singing.
The first part of the evening was
taken up with a song service, after
which DR.. Forbes. the speaker of the
evening, was introduced. DIR. Forbes
is a good talker and held the atten.

PARK PARTY JoBBED.
Marshal Bebb Put Up a Trick on the
Boys and Had Them Arrested.

Marshal Bebb is due TO go away on
a vacation when the boys get back
from their trip through the park.
When the party left here they had
some cards printed 10 the effect that
they were a WARM bunch from a hot
town" and they signiiied their inten'
lion of living up 10 tnis sentiment
Mr.. Bebb warned them that they had
better behave themselves and not
make too much disturbance along the
way, but they laughed at him and
told him not TO butt in. About the
time they were due TO reach Living
| ston John wrote the chief of police OF
that place and told him about the
bunch and that he had better run
them in. Chief Nelson was in on tho
joke at once and when the party ar
rived there and camped he sen an
officer out to tell them they would
have to move On. They started tc
jolly the officer and he said, well
have orders to take you before the
chief anyway, so you had better come
with me-" He took them down the
street and the chief took them before
Judge Bender, who listened to theil
story. and after an earnest appeal by
the travellers he let them go on
promising that they would not rob an,
hen roosts or otherwise disturb thu
peace and serenity of the town o
Livingston.
After il was all over the officials
took the party out and showed then
a good time, incidentally shown,
them the letter from the marshal a
Lewistown. Mr.. Bebb has had a lei
ter from Chief Nelson and he say
it is their intention to give the boy
a banquet when they return. 1t !
said that a kind friend had to put NJ
a bond of $500 to get the boys out
1t is a good thing the boys had SOM
friends in the windy city or the,
might now be languishing in the cit,
bastile of Livingston. Anyone VIII
knows the bunch will be sure of on
thing, and that Is that there will b
something doing with Johnnie Beb
when the party gets home.

&C."


There's a little bit of a fellow whose name
you all know well,
Who has a pitiful grievance of which l wish
to tell.
He makes but little pretension, is satisfied
all the while
To ilnger around the ends of things and
finish them up in style.
But plenty OF boys and girls, he says, and
folk much older, too,
Seem often bent on sighting him in a way
, L they shouldn't do.
They're cuttin' him off and shuttin' him
out and snubbin' him. one by one.
Till he really can scarcely hear himself
from morn TO set of sun.
Dressin' n eatin' and drinkin'-they're al
way keepin' him down,
While talkin' too, and studyin'. too. or
goin' about the town.
Now j want to put 1t before you, the boys
and girls and all,
If it isn't mean and unfair, and hard to
{ crowd against the wall
And shove him out of his proper place-set
Kim off on a shelf
. wee little modest fellow who can never
lelp himself?
And the worst of it all is coming, that when
this wrong you do,
1t is not only bad for him, but very much
worse for you
now, young friends, with your dainty
ways, who always wish to please,
let your tongues do careless work,
but try and mind your g's.

EXCITING BATH TUB GAME
It Is Played with a Homemade Flo
tilla Which Is Seeking Shelter
in Safe Wharves.

That the bathtub can be utilized for
many purposes of amusement has been
proved BY many a boy o + girl, but per-
haps never before in the following man
ner, described in the New York Mail:
Let Us imagine the bathtub is a har-
Dor, with one end for the water front
and the other end for the harbor
entrance. But if W are to have a water
front, where are the wharves? You are
to make them, and this is the way:
First. measure the width of the end
Of the tub which is selected for the
water front. The measurement should
be taken Of the distance between the
sides, inside the tub. The mark out
your proposed wharves with a pencil on
a thin pine board about a foot wide,
and long enough to just float snugly be-
tween the sides OF the tub at the water
front end.
Having done this. saw out the
"wharves'' with a thin saw, and you will
have q result like the diagram. The
slips" between the wharves in the mid
die of the board are the narrowest and
the others grow wider until they reach
the ends. the Two end slips being the
widest, and marked with the lowest

number, five. There should be seven
slips in all, and marked as shown in
the diagram, the narrowest wharf hav-
ing highest number, so.
: You are now ready to play the game,
II you have a flotilla of small boats. If
not fashion half a dozen or so out of
fiat pine boards, whitfield into the shape
of a boat, and equipped with a rudder.
You may add masts if you like, but
they will not be of the slightest use in
tkls game, because the only motive
power will be your own efforts, for you
ans your competitors are to push the
boats with your right hand.
The idea is to shove the vessel under
your command into the narrowest slip"
between the wharves. This may look
very easy, but you will quickly find
that a good deal of dexterity is required.
1t IS a sure test of a steady eye and
hand, and the effort is rendered harder
by the fact that each rudder must be set
so that it steers the boat slightly to-
ward the left. This will sometimes spoil
the calculations of the sharpest eye, and
there will be quite a little practice
necessary before you can gauge the
proper impulse necessary to guide your
craft along a true course into the slip"
Any number agreed upon, such as 100
or 200 points, may determine the game;
five must be .subtracted from the total
number of every player who misses a
slip" by his boat striking the end of the
wharf instead of gliding in to a success
full landing. All the players must stand
at the other end of the tub, and mustre-
lease their craft in turn after pushing it
six inches; if they lean forward too far
they are likely to tumble in besides
breaking the six-inch rule, but If they
are careful not to fall overheard and
have their sleeves well rolled up a very
amusing afternoons sport may be ex-
tracted from the bathtub.
