did not approve of the nomination OF
Henry NJ. Rae as state senator because
he has lived in the county only four
years. Well, how does the selection OF
Mr.. Gordon as the whole works strike
him? There's rare old timer for you.
Mr. Gordon came to Fergus in the year
of the big wind, and settled on the
banks of Spring creek when it was
a navigable stream. He has grown TO
be a very young man during his long
residence here. 1t was, in fact, over
a year and half ago that he arrived
at the then struggling settlement OF
Lewistown. The secretary of the COM
mittee. too, is eligible to honorary
membership in the Society of Fergus
County Pioneers. Mr.. E. w. Mettler
landed in these parts fully two weeks
before Mr. Gordon did, and his pat
riarchial beard has become streaked
with gray since he first commenced
killing snakes, building fences and
killing Indians in the place that he ha ;
seen grow into a commercial, educa-
tional. art and political centre. 'Tis
we'll to remember the old timers. More
over, both Mr.. Gordon and Mr.. Mettler
claim to be rough riders, having made
the trip from Lombard to Lewistown
over the Montana railroad.

The train consisted of eight cars

1t is expected, in the event of steel
rails being delivered within the next
few months, that track laying will
commence from the Armington end of
the line this winter and that construc-
tion trains will be run out of Arming-

This will greatly facilitate the work
OF the contractors and will allow of
much more rapid progress being made.
Men are being brought in to work on
the line as fast as they can be made

from Arkansas having arrived last
week to handle the mules brought in
from that state.
Steam shovels and other heavy ma

of horse stealing, was arraigned in the

guilty to petit larceny, it being al
legged in this instance that he stole a

charge of gambling. For the former
offense Judge Cheadle imposed fine
of $125, and for the latter 500. Hall
paid the fines, amounting to 1925:

Keep an eye on the man who cusses

he is crooked and is only making a pro-
lection play for fear his sins will be
reported in cold type. Men of brains

word for the press, the power that

1t was at that celebrated cigarette
reunion of the Democracy held here
April 13 last that John B. Ritch de-
fined the sort of Democrat that B..
c. White is. Mr.. White had just made
speech expressing his political views,
and before introducing the next speak
er Toastmaster Ritch said that the
address just listened to reminded him
of the story of a North Carolina farm
er who had lost hog. The animal
wandered up the creek. and the farm
er and his numerous sons went out to
find the animal. Following the trail
left by the hog, they found it took
them first to one side of the creek, and
then the other. the changes in posi-
ton being so rapid as to almost be-
wilder the agriculturist. At last in
disgust the farmer stopped and mop
ping his brow said; "Dinged If I
don't think he is on both sides of the
creek" To Mr.. Ritch's mind. that per-
fectly illustrate the political career
OF B. c. White.

E. G. Worden, who has been on the

pooned by the bosses Saturday. 1t was
supposed that Mr.. Worden would be
either temporary or permanent chair
man. but because he was supposed to

managers turned him down. 1t had
been intended to name Mr.. Worden as
delegate to the state convention,
but attention was called to the fact
that he desired to CO. and he was even
knocked out there, although it was
and is apparent that not half those
named as delegates will be able to 60

who had already run for the office
and been defeated by the people. and

with the delegates, and as final
