We would respec tfully call the
attention of our city fathers to
the condition Of the fire engine
and outfit. Is it proper that this
expensive outfit should stand
there begrimmed and covered
with mud? A little time and
muscle could be well spent in
cleaning and polishing this ma.
chinery and thus make it pre-,
sentable when a visitor happens
to inspect it. It is a disgrace as
it is now.

To the Memory of Charly Gray

Suffer little children to come unto me-,
For of such is the kingdom of heaven,
Thus saith the Lord,
In his Holy Word,
For the sad and sorrowful given.
Our beloved has gone from us now,
Gone to our Father above.
To await us there
With the angels so fair
In Gods beautiful kingdom of love.
God grant that we may live to be
More perfect from year to year.
And meet above
With those we love,
When done with life's'sorrow here.

the meeting being called TO order by
Jesse NJ. Smith, vice president of the

OF the officers had been read a COM

slider the proposed reorganization of
the National Livestock association
with instructions to report to the gen.
eral body of the Woolgrowers asso-
citation at as early date as possible.
The proposed reorganization is
based upon the various branches of
the livestock industry, each branch
being considered unit, and the rep

ed as standing for its interests in the
annual livestock conventions, which
have Of late become somewhat un-
wieldly on account of the large mum.

Each branch of the industry is to
be controlled by general committee
OF its own members. and the sole ex-

When the Republican convention

electors and one of them was Arthur

there were probably few members of
the convention who gave a thought

and 1t so falls out that "Merri" Is in
Helena for the purpose of casting his
ballot in today's voting for his old
time partner and his warmest friend
Theodore Roosevelt.
For reasons that will be apparent
to the reader of the story, "Merri" is
desirous Of being chosen as the mes.
