If a ruling made ~. week by Attor-
ney General Albert ]. Galen is sus-
tanned, it will mean that the clerks
of the district courts will receive a
nice addition to their incomes. The nat
Utilization law which went into effect
few days ago places the matter of
naturlizations under the control of the
bureau of emigration and naturliza-
tion, which furnishes the clerks of the
courts with all blanks. These are filled
out in triplicate, and the clerks send
the duplicates to the bureau.
The many changes greatly increase
the work of the clerks and the total
fee for naturalization is now IS instead
of $3.50 as heretofore. The law pro-
vides that the clerks shall retain one
half of the fees, presumably as COM
pensation for the extra work involved.
1t was expected, however. that this
would have to be turned over to the

to learn more in regard to 1t at nrst
hand, so that there was crowd ABOUT
the display from this section every
hour in the day. and Messers Harry T..
Brown, N. ]. Littlejohn and S. Hur-
witch, who were there most OF the

questions.
The visitors from Fergus were much
pleased with the arrangements made
for the return trip. 1t had been intend
ed to run a special from Lombard.
leaving there at 1880 Sunday morning
but the crowd was SO great that the
Chinese hotel at Lombard could not
begin to accommodate them, and tn
special was ordered to leave upon the
arrival of the train from Helena at
about 2 a. m. Sunday morning. The
passengers therefore simply transfer
red from the train at Lombard to the
train waiting to bring them to this
city and arrived here at 10 a. m. Sun
day, making the entire trip from Hell
ena to Lewistown in about 10 hours.
and it was an easy run at that.
County Superintendent of Schools
Ada Meyersck returned home Mon
day evening. She took with her to
Helena the school exhibit from this
county, and although the time devoted
to preparing it was very short, the dis
play was a nice one. Miss Meyersick
suggests that next year the work OF
preparing the school exhibit be kept
up all the year. With a room or even
booth set aside to place the cOllec
ton in a very creditable display could
be secured by fair time, and without
any great effort, the main thing being
to keep the idea in mind all the time
Miss Meyersick attended two sessions
of the Lewis & Clark county teachers
institute while in Helena and enjoyed
her visit very much.

and dollars. and that, thereafter, all
such fees must be by him fully ac
counted for and paid over to the bur

INSPECT WORK on GRAVITY SYSTEM

Mayor Jesse Pinkley and the mem.
bers of the city council this week went
up to the spring that is to supply the
water for the new gravity system and
made a thorough inspection of the
work as far as completed. Contractor
Littlejohn will soon have things in
readiness for laying the pipe, which is
on the ground, and the council decided
to supervise that work in order that
there may be no question at any time
as to the absolute compliance with
the letter of the contract. With the
progress now being made by Mr.. Little
john, it is confidently expected thai
the new system will be installed and
in operation this year, SO that the peo
