The courts will not intervene in any

None Of the protesting American ship
owners go as far rs that.
Admiral Cowles, chief Of the bureau

Must Have Nine
Months School
New Law Provides for Maintenance and
Fixes Term in First aud Second Glass
Districts-School Election Next Week.

Districts-School Election Next Week.
AT a meeting of the Hamilton school
board Friday evening a recent order
providing that the schools should close
ments were made for full nine months
term
This action was made necessary by
the passage of Senate Bill No. 40. in
troduced by Ronney, which provides
that all school districts in Montana, of
the first and second class, must have
year. The new law also increases the
general levy for school purposes from
two to four mills and raises the limit
of special school tax that may be voted
from five to ten mills and which will
enable the trustees of any district TO
provide ample funds for the mainteu-
ance of the schools.
Prior to the passage of this act the
schools of the state were greatly ham
pered by lack of funds, resulting in
short terms, underpaid teachers and
utter lack of heating and other facili
ties in many schools. Even the boards
in the cities of the state were com
PEELED to cut the school term to seven
or eight months and statistics on file
in State Supt. Harmon's office show
that in 90 country districts in the state
only six weeks of school was had last
year.
This condition is cured by the new
law which provides ample funds for
full terms of school, living wages for
the teachers and, incidentally, places
the school tax where it belongs. All
the taxpayers of the state, including
the railway and other corporations.
must now pay an equitable proportion
of the cost OF educating the children of
the state.
The school board also appointed J. J.
Southwick, G. r. Bell and Rev. l.. L.
kneeland judges of the school election
to be held April g. At this election
trustees to succeed p. J. Shannon and
F. L Burns will be chosen. Both of
these gentlemen are candidates for re
election. Petitions nominating caudi-
dates for strustees in districts of the
first and second class must be filed i've
days before election to get them on
the ballots.

DAN FULAN
DR.. Ellis Great Educated Horse viii
Appear At Lucas Opera House
"Wednesday April 10.

Montana is truly great state and
no section within her borders contri-
butes more abundantly to her great
ness than does the Bitter Root valley.
Our latest bid for fame is through
the phenomenl intelligence of the
horse, "Don Fulano," as trained and
developed by DR.. Ellis, ably assisted
by Robert Fuller. A written des
crlption is totally inadequate to give
but faint idea of the many amazing
feats performed by this horse. He is
indeed the horse with a human brain;
that he reasons from a premise to an
intelligent conclusion is beyond ques
tion and establishes once for all the
scientifically mooted question as to
whether animals possess reasoning
faculties or not. Every feat perform
ed by this horse is new, original and
of such nature as to best portray the
almost uncanny intelligence of the
animal.
The manner in which he does his
force being necessary; mere verbal
order delivered in manner such as
would be used by and to any rational
human being is all that appears
necessary.
That the horse has an absolute un-
derstandlng of each order is shown by
his instant and accurate compliance.
His mathematical work is astoupd ding
while his MANY other feats are of a
| nature that has heretofore been con-
sidered impossible for horse to
perform.
Without single exception all who
have had the pleasure of seeing the
horse in his work are loud in his
praise. Tyler Thompson of the Mis-.
| soula Mercantile Company stated to
| the writer after seeing the horse work
that he with his wife accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Roberts of Hamil-
ton, while at the Portland tair saw the
famous "Trixy Queen" who is now
showing in London, England, that
''Trixy Queen" is completely out
classed by Don Fulano," any two of
mis- feats are worth all of "Trix 3
| Queens work. He is certainly won
derful.
Russell A. Wilson. general manager
of the natatoriu,n park at Spokane ha S
Don Fulano under contract for a four
weeks engagement. Don" will be
under the management of Carl Ellis
and Robert Fuller.
In order to give the home people an
opportunity to see the horse in his
work he will give an exhibition at the
Lucas opera house April 10th. From
Spokane he will be campaigned
through the east, taking in Butte
en- route. That he will make a sensa
ton and earn for himself a national
reputation is unquestioned.

Witness Of great deeds done,
And. rode behind the conqucrin% train,

Thus. from the battle-fclds of life,

Resting awhile from fiercest strife,
Thcv bring their trophies Eomc.
And thus beneath their coming feet
A noNcly triumph we repeat.
What do We bring. oh soldiers brave.
Home from the lifelong war:
What spells of bitter conflict lave
Worthy Of fighting for?
These Wa.in@ banners that YOU see
Are tokens of what victory:
Welcome, ye brave in many a fight.
The foemcn vanished from your sight,
LIES victory is sweet.
Welcome. Thrice welcome home. today,
