Havre, Surrounded by Natural Adyant-

and Grasp the Opportunity by
the Hand

Just as an inqEisitlve interrogatory
We would like to inquire-what is
Havre going to do in the line of
collective effors to make the growth
OF the town and the surrounding
country go ahead with the rapidity
that is warranted by the resources on
which we count on erecting big, in
fluential and bustling city?
Now is the time to be up and doing
that is what every Montana town is
doing. Helena, Butte, Great Falls,
Billings, Miles City, Bozeman, Liv-
ingston, Kalispell and every other
town of the state that has set its
ambitions beyond being a small place
for balnacles to vegetate in, is max
ing determined and concerted action
toward attracting the attention Of
outside people and capital to the re-
sources and opportunities each may
have to offer, and the aggregate CT
the effort can not help but attract
very lively and general attention to
Montana and its great ard varied
interests and resources. From the
results of this general interest every
town and city that is making a COM
Eetent effort will reap rich reward
in substantial development and per-
manent growth-mal1ing this of all
times, the time to boost unanimously,
enthusiastically and hard
And again that iGtcrrogatory--is
Havre going to get in and boost?

Much direct good can be accomplished

In their projects, secured actual ac-

those Of Montana have scarcely gotten

has fallen into the habit of being too
easy in these matters; Of being too
retiring and diffident-and in the
hustle of western push, this does not
pay; it does not" spell Success" as it
is spelled by the more energetic

EAGLES Give
JOLLY DANCE

Monday night the Eagles of Hayre
and their friends danced in McIntyres
opera house to the strains of the un-
excelled dance music furnished by
Charlie Hilla's aggregation of musi-
clans and amid the decorations OF
flags and bunting such as the old
opera house never saw befo e. The
Herald said two weeks ago that the
Eagles decorations, were the finest
ever put up in hall, but Monday
evening they were even more elabor-
ate and the completed scene D esented
by the gay throng of young folks on
that occasion was very pretty indeed.
Ihe capacity of the opera house was
taxed to accommodate the company.

go home" and when that hour ar
rived, all seemed content.
Many tickets were eagerly bought
by those who do not d-a-wnce, as the
total receipts of this and all other
entertainments that the Eagles have
planned will be devoted to the enter
tainment of the guests that the city
must entertain the last week in June
next.
Every Eagle and every citizen OF
Havre who has thought for his home
and an idea above that of clam is
assisting in the effort to prove to
all Montana that there is no better
place to spend a day, or a lifetime,
than is the the range metropolis. The
Eagles propose to continue their en-
tertainments. They will always give
a dollars worth for a dollar. Even
though they may not offer the par
ticular kind of enjoyment some par
ticular citizen would suggest as his
own kind it is incumbent on every
man and woman OF the city to re-
member the pledge that all we'uns
gave whenHenry J. Meili told the as
sembled thousands in the state capital
that Havre could and would take care
