LEWISTOWN BOYS DIG UP
TWO TONS OF DANDELIONS

Yesterday was Dandenon Day in
LewistOwn. and the kids" of the
town turned in about 1000 pounds Of
the yellow peril to Marshal Marion
Burke at the city hall, receiving half
a cent pound for their work. The
boys brought sacks of the pest, some
of them working singly and others
in squads. The dandelions We're weigh
ed by the marshal, the diggers given
credit and the dandelions were later
loaded into wagon, taken out of
town and dumped into a coulee. and
ashes We're piled upon them. Two tons
of dandelions make an immense pile,
and one might think that after this ef-
fort, the esteemed Mr.. Lowelrs favor
ite flower would be pretty scarce III
Lewistown, but it isn't. The .lande-
lion lifts up its yellow head this morn
ing as calmly as ever, and apparently
is as numerous as ever II isn't of
course, but these two tons only mark
the beginning of the effort TO free
the city from the pest. If The pest is
to be eXterminated here, the work will

have to be continued. and next season
must commence earlier, before so many
OF the flowers have gone to seed and
the down scattered all over Fergus
county.
The boys did the square thing in
their antidandelion crusade. They
dug the plants up by the roots and in
all ways conformed to the regulations,
and the $40 distributed among them
represents an amount of labor that
men would not think of performing
for less than ten times the amount
paid out. And while there are plenty
of dandelions left, this was a goOl
starter and if followed up next year
there is hope that the city may be
freed from the pest If that result is
brought about, however, there will
have to be a general movement, united
in by all property owners. The clearing
up OF one small section will not help
much, so long as the great majority do
nothing and are willing to let the
dandelon increase and multiply and
fill the earth as it is now doing.

GREAT SUCCESS
Observance OF Miners Union Day Takes Crowds to
Gilt Edge--Kendall Carries off the Honors, Win
ming the Ball Game and Drilling Contest

One of the most notable labor gath
erings in the history of central Mon
tana was the celebration of Miners
Union day at Gilt Edge Wednesday.
The largest crowd ever seen in the
pretty little mining camp assembled
for the occasion, representatives from
Kendall, Lewistown ard other places
being in attendance. The Kendall
miners sent over the famous brass
band of that camp and a large dele
cation from their union. The pro-
gram presented was a varied one and
presented plenty of amusement and
altogether the celebration was a great
success. There was just one draw
back, and that was the rain. The
storm did not begin, however, until
the program was nearly over, so that
it did not seriously interfere with the
celebration, and all the conditions
throughout the morning were simply
ideal. Great credit is due to the Gilt
Edge miners for the perfect arrange
ments made by their committees, and
throughout the day they devoted them
selves increasingly to the work of
making the visitors happy and sue
ceeded in their efforts
Bowery for Spectators.
A bowery had been erected on the
outskirts of town and in front of this
the speaking occurred. The parade
started from Fraternity hall at 10:30,
and headed by the Kendall band,
marched through the camp. The Gilt
Edge miners turned out in force and
the Kendall union made fine show
ing, while the Lewistown labor union
had creditable delegation in the
parade. Arriving at the bowery,
which was packed, Robert Mongal
president of the Judith Mountain Min
ers Union, took the chair, and after
selections by the band, made a neat
address in which he congratulated
the unions on the excellent showing
made by them and on the great inter-
est manifested in the occasion by all
classes. On behalf of the people of
Gilt Edge he eXteIded hearty well
come to the visitors, and then intro

Pandemonium reigned for time af-

Referring to the obstacles in the way
of organized labor, Mr.. Scott took up
the subject of the trusts and the pow
er of corporations. The worst the
most dangerous and most powerful
of all these he considered the Stand
