WILL BUILD REcToRY.
Contract Entered Into for Episcopal
Minister'S Residence.

us .
YESTERDAY the building committee OF
st. Luke's Episcopal church made a
couple of contracts by which erection
of a rectory is at last assured.
Ever since the establishment OF the
mission and the appointment of a reg
ular minister the want of a rectory
has been felt, but the congregation
has never been able financially to
undertake construction of one. Since
the arrival of the Reverend Bowker
as rector the society has grown con-
stantly and rapidly and now numbers
in excess of 100 communicates, with
the promise of still greater expansion.
In addition to being a most excellent
minister, Mr.. Bowker is blessed with
good business sense, a fact his parish
toner's were not long in finding out.
Under his administration the affairs
of the mission have improved wonder
fully. Recently several lots were
bought at the corner of Second ave
nue., north, and T%hirty-third street
on which the new building is to be
erected. AS ample ground for that
purpose still remains it is considered
probable that in the years to come a
church will also be built there.
The proposed rectory is to cost 3d.
900 and contract for it's construction
has been let to the Billings Lumber
company. Pulte is to do the plumb
ing, the cost of which is covered by
the sum named. The building will be
two stories high and will contain eight
rooms and all of the modern conven-
fences, except heat, as a furnace is to
be added later on.
The building committee Of the
church is composed of Mrs. j. G. Sher-
man, Mrs. Bentley, Mrs. L. T. Jones
and w. Thaw Denniston.

in the act of saving their way out
OF the city Jail. When interrupted
they had succeeded in seyering d

in which they were confined and had

Saturday evening the members OF
Edna chapter, Order Of the Eastern
Star, CAV a reception in honor OF
Mrs. H. B. Segur, who, with the chill
dren, will leave next Friday morning
for Atchison, Kan, to join Mr.. Sc
CUR. A musical and literary pro-
gramme was rendered, after which a
game was played which consisted OF
evolving a romance from the names
of popular songs, used in answer to
a series of questions. Tomorrow at
ternoon the Ladies Aid society OF the
Congregational church, of which body
Mrs. Segur has been the president for
a number of years, will hold a special
session in honor of the lady, which
will be in tine nature of a farewell
gathering of the society.
Two men were arrested yesterday
on suspicion of having stolen four
pairs of trousers that they tried to
sell at one of the secondhand stores.
Suspicion that they had not come
honestly by the garments caused the
proprietor OF the place to notify the
police. After a short search the sus-
poets were found on the south side.
They had a bundle and when asked
what it contained said that it cen
sisted of underclothing, as they were
on their way to the river to take 2
bath. The answer was not satisfac-
tory and the package was taken from
them and opened, when the trousers
were found. Atterward it was learn
ed that they had been taken from
the store of the Donovan-McCormick
company. The inquiry made by the
police was the first knowledge had
at the store of the theft of the gar
ments.

RESULTS IN NEW INDUSTRY.
One Effect Of Experiment by Soil
Experts.


In addition to demonstrating the
practicability of undertakings for
the eradication OF a s%urplussage OF
alkali in the soil, the proposed *
pertinent by representatives Of the
bureau of soils, department of ag-
riculture, will probably also result in
the establishment of a new industry
in the city. ,
Drain tile making is to be intro
duced as a branch of the Slater Brick
company. Arrangements for turning
out the first lot of pipes are now I'M
der way and it is expected that it will
be ready for delivery in 60 days.
1t was at the instance of Messrs.
Heileman and Dorsey, who represent
the bureau OF soils, that the manufac-
ture of thing is to be undertaken.
In looking over the ground they be-
came convinced that if thing could
be made here it would greatly lessen
the o. of the article, besides MAX
ing its procurement much easier, and
they preached the subject to the brick
company, which agreed to make the
effort. In consequence of this nothing
will be done in the way of starting
the reclamation experiment until at
ter the company has been given al
I nnrnvt1pitv to I'M ~ ct 20 70 itc ohi1itp
to supply the piping.
Several locations have been examin-
ed and the site of the intended station
has been practically decided upon,
although it's situation will not be
made public until later. In the mean
time matters will be permitted to
rest.
Mr.. Dorsey left a few days ago for
Fresno, CAL, where the bureau has
some work, and Mr.. Heileman will
probably leave tomorrow, going back
to Salt Lake, where the station start
ed by him requires his further atten-
ton. He will return to Billings as
SOC as the brick company has re-
ported the result OF it's experiment.
If it proves a failure the government
will ship in the pipe and active work
draining the site selected will be be-
gun. 1t is desired to prepare the land
this season in order that there may be
as little delay as possible in INSTALL
ing the system so thatnthose interest
ed in the experiment may see it in
practical operation.
Since the arrival Of Messrs. Heile-
man and Dorsey great interest has
,been aroused in the matter of sub
drainage and they have been inter
viewed on the subject by a considera-

can be made here many will probably
at once begin introduction of drainage

later period. it
