Mr.. B0qus Makes Address

The conntysummerschoo closed Sat.
urday. The school has been well at
tended and satisfactory work has
been accomplished Hon. Julius
q. Boggs delivered an interesting
lecture before the teachers SATURDAY.
morning in his characteristic force
tul manner. Mr.. Boggs enioined
upon the teachers the Importance OF
training the moral sentiment that
exists in every child. He was in q
position to see the woeful neglect OF
such training.
"That teacher" he said, "who
works for salary alone, no matter how
large it may be, is poorly paid indeed.
The greatest reward of the teacher is
developing the intellect and training
IN the child for future usefulness.
Verify the reward of such teachers is
never fully paid in this transitory
LIE, but there is treasure in heaven. -

WILL PUT UP
ANOTHER MILL
The Judith Mining Company contem'
plates the Erection Of One on the
Surprise Group.
PROPERTY is SHOWING UP WELL
A Two Hundred Foot Tunnel, Expos
ing a Large Amount Of Ore Has
Been Driven.

The Judith Mining company, oper-
ating the Surprise group in the Gilt
Edge district, near the mouth OF
Spotted Horse gulch, is pushing devel'
opment work on its properties, and
the showing In the workings is better
now than at any time since the com
pany took control. A new tunnel wal
started at the base Of the mountain
in November and is now In about
200 feet. In this tunnel a large
amount of cyanide ore Of a low grade
but carrying sufficient values to make
its working profitable, has been ex'
posed. and in another new tunnel
farther up the hill, another body Of
higher grade ore is shown. Superin
tendent w. E. Wilson Is confident
that the Surprise is going to show
enough ore to justify the erection Of
a mill during the coming summer
This would mean a great deal fol
the town of Gilt Edge. which Is pros
porous enough now, but would relish
the additional prosperity accruins
from the active working Of another
mine and mill. The advantageous 10
cation of the Surprise group would
permit the profitable working of very
low grade cyanide ores, and present
indications lead us to believe that the
Judith company will build a mill next
summer.

FIELD FOR
ATHLETICS
The County School Board Of Trustees
viii Negotiate the Purchase
Of a Block.
NEW BUILDING is ALMOST DONE
II Is Thought That the High School
Will Move Into New Home by the
First Of January.

A meeting of the board OF trustees
of the Fergus County Free High
School was held in the office OF Sec.
rotary r. von Tobel yesterday after.
noon. Tho furnishing OF the new
school building was discussed but the
matter was laid over until a future
meeting. II was decided TO extend
a sewer to the new building.
Considerable discussion was provok.
ed over the suggestion OF Secretary
o Tobel that the board negotiate
the purchase OF a block OF ground I'M
mediatcly back OF the block upon
which the school building Is located,
for an athletic field. The board agreed
to make the purchase and II 1t can
be secured at a reasonable price the
boys and girls attending the high
school will o boast OF what Is not
found In every city. a full block TO be
used for athletic purposes. This ac'
ton OF the board will be commended
by all who have at heart the welfare
OF the boys and girls who attend the
high school. With the present rapid
growth OF the city II will be but a
short time before all grounds conven'
lent and available for athletic pur.
poses. will be built upon. Play has
come TO be recognized as a necessary
part Of the student life and a place
in which to play as indispensable In
the educational equipment. The
block. II secured now, will constantly
increase In value. and will, In the
course OF time, prove a good invest.
ment for the county in more ways
than one.
The secretary of the board was in
structed to get trees for the high
school yard, the big leaf cottonwood
being agreed upon as the best for the
purpose desired. David Hilger and
Miss Meyersick were appointed to
audit the accounts of the board.
II is believed by the board that sew
eral rooms OF the high school build
ing will be ready for occupancy by
the first of next month.

Houses In the Opera House.
At last a theatrical company was &c.
cured for the Culver opera house. the
w. w. Bittner company opening
there Monday night In The Parish
Priest"
Since the house was remodeled and
contracts signed with the circuit man.
ager a diligent effort has been made
to secure companies. but the situation
has been that those which were de-
sired would not come and those that
might have been secured were not
wanted. But Mr.. iBttner knew Lew
istown-he had been here before and
had many friends whom he knew
would give generous support.
The greeting given them, however,
was not as hearty as had been hoped.
The company did not arrive until 1920
in the evening and the fact that II
was so uncertain whether they would
arrive in time deferred many from
securing seats. 1t did not take them
long to reach the theatre and soon af-
ter . o'clock the curtain rose. Every
member of the company was tired and
hungry. the men were unshaven and
there had been no opportunity for re,
hcarsal, SO the production was not
what il would have been we're the cir
cumstances different. The audience
greeted Mr.. Bittner with liberal ap.
plause when he appeared as the priest
and throughout the evening punctuat-
ed the drama with evidences of their
appreciation. Though perhaps lack.
ing in action, the Parish Priest" is a
pretty love story and one which fire.
quently arises in every day life.
Last evening the company played
"T~ennessee's Partner" TO a big
mouse and in this had better oppor.
tunity OF displaying their abilities.
The scene Of this is laid In a mining
camp and is the story OF two rugged
miners having a young girl for a part
ner, who suddenly appears upon the
scene and at once wins their hearts.
Fine costuming was OF course lack
ing in a play OF this character, but
the story was well presented and the
audience we'll pleased.
Good order marked both perform.
ances and Manager Culver Is well
prepared Z handle big crowds.
Tonight the company will present
the four-act domestic drama, only a
Country Girl" first presented in this
country by Mrs, Fiske. In this a
young artist of proud and wealthy
parents falls In love with a young
country girl, his union with her being
vigorously opposed by his family and
friends. But he marries the girl and
by reason of her being entirely out
OF sympathy with his hopes and am
billions, finally leaves her. Later he
truly appreciates her worth and Is re.
united. The plot gives excellent op-
p~ortunity for comedy and has proved
one of the best successes of the pre-.
senting company.
Specialties equal TO those which so
much pleased the audience last even.
ing will again be features, both Moran
and McClellsn appearing In song and
dance.
The company will close its engage
ment here on Friday night. on which
occasion the side-splitting comedy
Maloney's Wedding, will be presented.
