Lambing is Successful.

Lambing is Successful.
Favorable reports continue to come
in in regard to lambing and although
the weather has been very wet and
unpleasant, it has not caused any par
ticular damage, merely increasing the
work and making greater care and
vigilence necessary.
"It is the best lambing season |
have ever known in this section" said
Senator j. d. Waite yesterday. The
losses have been very small and the
rain has put the ranges in fine condi-
ton. The precipitation was probably
greater right here around Lewistown
than in almost any other part of the
county. Elsewhere. the moisture pen
etrated to from one and half to two
feet. This means much for the
ranges"

institution.
The stage was handsomely arranged
for the occasion, and across the pros.
cenium appeared the class motto
Launched, But Not Anchored" The
audience commenced gathering early
and by o'clock the house was com
pletely filled. High school girls acted
as ushers and discharged their duties
gracefully. The program was some
thing of an innovation, the custom
ary orations by the graduates being
entirely omitted. The exercises begal

Wakefield, and Miss Elizabeth Phil

Address by Judge erantIy.
Rudolph Won Tobel, who presided
then introduced the speaker of the ev

of the supreme court, who delivered

manner at once instructive and enter

whatever of criticism there might be i,

schols or teachers of Fergus county
At the conclusion of the formal &C

to them personally, expressing hi
pleasure at being with them on sue

The carefully planned campaign of
construction ON the Great Northerns
line from Great Falls to Billings is now
in full blast, and splendid progress is
being made. The forces are being aug
mented almost daily and every effort
is being made to get the job finished
within the time estimated by the en-
gineers. The heaviest piece of work
on the entire line is the building of
the tunnel through the big butte back
of Stanford, which will be about one
mile long. 1t is said that something
like 5000 men will be employed in the
mer, and as result. Stanford is
booming. The town now has five sa.

The leWistown Line.
While the official announcement
from st. Paul to the effect that the
branch from the main line to Lewis
town would be built just as soon as
the work could be undertaken was
merely a repetition of what the Hills
have stated in this city, it was never
theless received with considerable sat
isfaction.
S. S. Hobson is now in st. Paul,
and is expected home this week. 1t
is thought he will bring some informa.
ton with him that may be of interest
to the people OF this section.
