FOR A BAND STAND.
BIarshaH's and New Instruments
Ready to Give Free Concerts.

Marshall's band, with the superb new
instruments, is ready to give open air
concerts for the public about one a
week, so soon as a suitable band stand
is provided. Last summer an effort was
made to secure money enough for
stand, but only SIPS was raised. OF this
amount about $50 was paid into the
State Journal office and is on hand for
the purpose. About $65 was collected in
the Santa Fe offices and is in the hands
of E. L Copeland.
To construct and light a frst-class
band stand will require between four
and five hundred dollars. It is to be
hoped that this money will be raised at
once. The State Journal will receive
and acknowledge any amounts that
citizens are disposed to contribute.
The executive council has been asked
to provide a site on capitol square for
the band stand as the state house
grounds seem to be the best location for
the concerts. If permission be granted
by the state officers for the purpose,
and it would be understood that the
stand could be removed if at any time
it proved undesirable, it is suggested
that it be located at the corner immed-
lately at the left Of the Ninth and Jack
son streets entrance to the state house
square. A stand at this point would
afford good accommodations for the
public, which could assemble on the
east steps and porticO of the state house,
on the broad pavement in front of the
steps and on Ninth street and elong the
west side of the Santa Fe offices where
the crowds gathered before when the
stand was on the southeast portion OF
the square.

Shall Ubet be GarneiIl?
To Whom it May Concern:

10 WnOm IL May Concern:
Helena, Mont, March Is, 1906
When the Montana Railroad located
the station now known as Ubet there
seemed to be diversity of opinion
as to what it's name should be. It
was our desire to preserve the old geo.
graphical name, and, at the same time,
to conform as nearly as possible to the
wishes of the people who were inter-
ested. The name "Ubet" had been
on the map of Montana since about
1883, and had become identified with
the Judith Gap. We made numerous
inquiries and decided that the name
Uebt would be more satisfactory to d
majority of those interested. The
name was therefore adopted.
We have recently received petit
ton urging us to change the name
of the station to "Garneill." From
this company's standpoint there is no
objection to the change. We do not
care to retain name that is not sat
isfactory, but having the former con-
troversy in view, it seems only fair
that an opportunity should be given
to the other side, so to speak, to be
heard Nothing will be done for 80
days. at least, and the undersigned
would be very glad to hear from any
one who has any reasons to urge
against the proposed change. Very
truly, RICHARD A. HARLOW,
President.

PIERRE WiBApx RETIRES.
Another CattIeman Concludes to C
Out of That Business.

Information comes from Miles City
to the effect that Pierre WibauX, one
OF the few of the remaining large cat
tlemen, has concluded to so out of
business, at least for time, says the
Billings Times. His immense land
holdings have been leased for a term
of years to the WibauX Sheep Ranch
company. The lease covers all of Wi
bauxs land in Dawson county, Mon
tsna, and Billings county, North Da-
kota. comprising $4,000 acres. With
it go the buildings and all equip
ments. The ranch at one time was
one of the largest in the country and
returned immense profits to its own,
er. AS indicated by its name, the new
company intends to engage in the
sheep and wool business, an industry
that is proving to be more profitable
than cattle raising. The range it con
trolls is considered one of the best in
the northwest.

AS to the work accomplished by the

Republican party has cause for salts

in the platform were passed, includ-

primary election law, the fellow serv-
ant measure and the railway commits
sion bill. The last named measure
was vetoed by the Democratic COVER

Mr.. Hedges, was a hard working body,
and in the house, especially toward
the close, there was spirit of har-

Mestchersky, in an article in the

strength to confess defeat before the

tainable now than later, when Vlad-

the hands of the Japanese, and the
conclusion of peace will prove the sal
