Rouge, where he will enter the State
University.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. L. Ebert, of Lewis

Sunday last, but owing to the rain very
few were in attendance.
Haughton will ship about 1900 bales

during the present season, most of which
has already been shipped.
The Woodmen have moved their lodge
paraphernalia into the upper story of
the Crume House, which they will oc-
cupy as lodge room in the future.
The dinings, sociables and visitors
during the Christmas holidays have been
SO numerous that it would tax your space
too heavily to make personal mention.
The passing of the old and the birth of
the new year was marked last night by
the young people ringing all of the bells
in town from 1880 pm. to 1920 am.
While the incident was born of a joyful
spirit, the solemn peals of the bells in
the nights stiffness awakened serious
reflections in the minds of the thought
full.
The public installation of officers by
the Masonic Lodge and the Chapter of
the Eastern Star was made Thursday,
the 9th. A large crowd was present to
witness the ceremonies. The lecture
by DR.. Pennington was good and was
well received. All were disappointed
that that part of the program which
provided for refreshments had to be
omitted, owing to the failure of the COM
mittee to secure fresh oysters.

color which must make their own ap-
peal to the artistic taste
1t is the mode to trim picture hats
with whole birds with wonderful tail
feathers that are all curves, but no
curls. Many of these adornments are
made at the bird factories and for this
reason should not prove obnoxious to
bird lovers
The reds in fuchsia, jacqueminot car
dinal and motor have a vogue all their
own, and red hats are used with good
effect by women of taste to top their
frOcks of brown and bronze cloth
Some striking hats in brown are also
trimmed with jacqueminot and Ameri-
can Beauty roses, while plumage in all
shades of red is considered the height
of fashion.
Browns in the russell and tobacco
tones are holding their own in the sea-
sons hats. RiyaliDg the browns, olive
and moss green appear in many of the
most admired French models. Very
charming Paris hats are in taupe, or
moleskin color, smoke and the metallic
grays. and rich raspberry red, plum,
petunia and iris and strong dark blues
are all seen in the imported models,
while black hats are growing in de-
mand. Then there are the green and
gold shadings. the old rose nuances and
the green and brown conjurings and
indeed such subtle and unexpected in
SEPARATIONS as quite bewilder the seeker
after millinery
The hat illustrated is of fine French
felt in the fashionable smoke tone. The
feathers shade from dark gray to white
at the ends and are held in place by
single red rose.

they are first tried on, one is seized
with feeling that they will wear
mantilla of lace over their heads rath-
er than one of these freaky things.
They are an acquired taste. Try on
seven. and the last one does the trick.
Comparatively few of the velvet suits
are trimmed with anything but lace
or braid or buttons. Nothing else
seems TO set them off in way at
once effective and perfectly in keeping
with the character Of the material.
Many of them have no trimming at all.

Butte Police Magistrate Going After
High Toned Libertines.

Butte, Aug. 27.-In an excited man
ner but in words that could not be
misunderstood, Police Magistrate
MCGOWAN today, from his bench,
warned the politicians to keep away
from his court. He stated that an
effort had been made to bribe him,
and to influence him to reduce the
fines levied AGAINST the members Of
the demi- monde.
mo man on earth can reach this
court as long as | preside over it,
said Judge MCGOWAN in a voice that
showed that he was intensely in
earnest. This statement was made
during the consideration of the case
of Harry Morgan, charged with
vagrancy. It was alleged that Nor
gan is one Of the class Of men who
live Off Of women in the restricted
district.
I'm going to find out about the
frightful conditions existing in the
restricted district" continued Judge
MCGOWAN, 'and let the public know
all about them, just to see if it will
bring the blush of shame on certain
prominent men who have been inter
ceding with the court in just such
cases as we have before us this

Men Wanted

Ever since work was first COM
menced on the Billings & Northern
railway, the contractors have been
experiencing the utmost difficulty in
getting men and keeping them at
work after they had been secured.
One OF the principal difficulties has
been in getting a crew of graders
through Great Falls without losing
about 80 per cent of them. No soon
er would the festive grader reach
Great Falls then he would take a
sneak from the car on which he had
been shipped out, and that was the
last that would be seen of him by
the representatives of the contract
ors, who were supposed to. deliver
him at Arlington. Some of the men
have been going to other railroad
camps in the state, and large num-
Der have gone to work for ranchers
preferring the labor of the hayfield
and the scent of the blooming alfalfa
to the unromantic and equally tedious
work of the pick and the shovel and
the mixed company that is found
on the grading.
But with the last consignment. con-
sisting of three carloads of graders.

that was shipped out, a new plan
was adopted, which proved more sue
cessful from the contractors stand
point. 1t was also quite disappoint-
ing to the graders, judging from the
expressions of disgust that were
heard after they reached their desti-
nation.
Instead of having the consignment
reach Great rails during the night
and shipping the men out on the rock
train the next morning, as had been
done in the past, the three cars were
sldetracked near the bridge at Rain
bow falls, when they reached there
in the evening. A number of the
graders asked how far it was to
Great Falls, and they were told the
exact distance was 2o miles. This
was just far enough to be too far
for pleasant walk, and, in conse-
quence, not a man left the cars The
next morning before daybreak, an
engine hooked on to the graders car
and pulled them-not into-but right
through Great Falls without stopping,
The train did not stop at Belt. eth
cr, nor yet at Arlington, but pulled
right through to the end of the line.

graders were finally allowed to dis
embark. Being between two good

The party was pulled off and true
to his promise Roosevelt was present
with big bunch of cowboys. During
the evening Roosevelt toasted Ertel
as "the next treasurer of Burleigh
county," and everyone had good
time
Despite the eve glasses and side
burns" Roosevelt rallied the solid
support of the cowboys to Ertel who
was elected by a majority of seven
votes.
After Roosevelt had become pres
ident of the United States, Mr.. Ertel
being in Washington on business,
called at the White House. The
president readily recalled the in
cident of the early days in Dakota
and, for the sake of good old days,
offered the Chicago man a good posi-
ton in the consular service but the
offer was respectfully declined by the

MINING
Two New Mills in Prospect.

Joseph B. Mossman of Salt Lake
City, Utah, western representative of
the Allis-Chalmers company, manu-
factures of mining machinery and
supplies, was inthe city for a couple
of days last week While here, he
went over to Kendall to look over
the mills of the two big companies
in that camp. Mr.. Mossman took up
with President Henry M. Rae of the
Cone Butte Mining company, the
proposition of putting up a mill on
the Cone Butte property and, while
nothing definite was done, it is under
sood that his visit will lead to some
thing tangible within short time
The Cone Butte company have fully
decided to erect a mill and hope to
get it we'll under Roadway this fall
Mr.. Mossman will, in the near fu-
ture, take up the mill question with
the directors of the North Moccasin
Mining company Some definite
policy will be decided on by this COM
pany within the next two weeks
when Mr.. Drake is expected to arrive
from New York. Superintendent H.
H. Lang of the Kendall company left
the latter part of the week for Spo-
kane to confer upon Messrs. Finch
and Campbell, principal owners of
the Kendall Mining company stock
and it is known that this conference
has something to do with the San
tiago 1t is possible that some ar
rangement will be entered into
whereby the ore from the Santiago
will be worked through the big mill
Of the Kendall company.
The North Moccasin company have
millions Of dollars worth of fine ore
already opened up on the Santiago
and it is a sure thing that the owners
will not lono permit the property to
lie idle. Undoubtedly some develop
ments which will mean much to the
immediate growth and prosperity of
the camp of Kendall will be made
within the next two weeks.

TEDDY BOOSTED HIM,
Visitor to Lewistown Tells of Early
Day Experience in Dakota.

F. H. Ertel, publisher of Bonds
and Mortgages, well known financial
journal i'll Chicago, was a visitor to
Lewistown last week Mr. Ertel
was on his way to Spokane and came
up to the Judith basin at the request
Of number of Chicago friends, who
are either interested or intend to be-
come interested in business way in
Fergus county.
He looked over the situation here
as carefully as his limited time would
permit and was highly pleased with
the opportunities here for profitable
investments.
Editor Ertel is by no means
stranger to the west and its ways.
In the early eighties, he, being young
and inexperienced, thought to salts
fy crying need by establishing a
paper is one of the boom towns of
Burleigh county, South Dakota 1t
did not take him long to discover
that he had make grievous error
and when another misguided youth
with journalistic yearings came along
and offered to buy the paper, young
Ertel didn't lose minute in jarring
loose.
By this time he was thoroughly
sick of Dakota and commenced to
make preparations to go back to
Chicago. But just before he was
ready to start a young easterner,
who was in the cattle business out
there, Teddy" Roosevelt by name,
came over and asked him why in the
world he was going back to Chi
cago.
This is the place for a hustling
young man." said young Roosevelt
WELL replied the ex-editor, "the
bunch grass is not very good out
here just now and it is not matter
of choice but of necessity that have
decided to go east"
Roosevelt then suggested that as
there was to be county election in
few weeks, what would be the mat
ter with Ertel staying there and run
ming for county treasurer
AT that time as at the present, Mr..
Ertel wore eye glasses and was the
possessor of flowing 'sideburns.
When Roosevelt made this suggestion
as to the treasurership, Ertel i'm
meditely replied tht it would be abb
surd to think of man wearing glass
es and that particular sort of beard
ever being able to correl the votes
of the COW boys who held the balance
of power in that county.
"Oh, that'll be all right" responded
Teddy. I'VE will have a party next

George McGce, the new general
manager and superintendent Of the
Barnes King mine, arrived in this
city Saturday evening and, in COM
pany with w. ]. Johnson of the
First National Bank, drove out to
Kendall Sunday morning.
Mr.. MCGEE is a comparatively
young man, but one who has won
for himself an enviablc position
among the mining engineers Of this
country. For number Of years he
was one Of the superintendents in
the employ Of the Amalgamated
Copper company, resigning his posi-
tion with that company to take
charge of one of the new companies
which was organized a few years
ago in Butte.
The new superintendent for the big
Kendall company is a thorough west
erner in every sense Of the word
lie knows conditions out here and
understands how to handle men
which, in his present position, is quite
as important as his practical and
technical knowledge of the mining
business.
Mr.. McGee made no statement
here of his intentions other than that
he is going to bend his energies to
the task Of placing the Barnes King
on dividend paying basis just as
quickly as conditions will permit
The policy of his management will
be that Of progressiveness without
extravaganza. The company has
over quarter of million dollars in
the treasury which will be used to
the very best advantage in the de-
velopment Of the property and the
treatment of the ore
