INDEPENDENCE
Of PORTUGAL
Successful Celebration of the
Day by the Local
Colony.

The 267th anniversary of the restor-
alton of national independence to Por-
tugal was celebrated yesterday by the
local Portuguese colony, with more
enthusiasm and interest than it has
been for several years.
The celebration exercises yesterday
We're under the auspices of the Portu-
guese Recreation Club of Hawaii, a
subsidiary organization of the Societe
A Patria. The society has been or
ganized for four years and has a
large membership. The Recreation
Club was organized lately, its purpose
being to provide a library and recre-
alton room for Portuguese of all
classes which shall be free from the
demoralizing features of SO many of
the places where the Portuguese
spend their unoccupied time. The club
already has a library of 400 volumes.
The officers are V. o. Teixeira, presi-
dent; j. F. Durao, secretary; and JOS
eph G. Faria, treasurer.
The celebration of the day began
with a national salute of twenty zone
guns fired from the top of PunchbowI
by a committee from the club. a lit
tie later the Concordia band gathered
at the rooms of the club, Vineyard and
Emma streets, There several hundred
patriotic Portuguese also gathered.
As the band played independence
hymn, the Portuguese flag was raised
over the building in which the club
rooms are, as well as over the San
Antonio hall.
Other hymns played were the Don
Carlos hymn and the Royal hymn.
A special train of fourteen coaches
at $50 o'clock took several hundred
Portuguese, largely in family groups,
to the Peninsula where the day was
celebrated. The affair took the form
of a basket picnic. Family and other
parties brought their lunches with them.
The band was in attendance and play
ed patriotic Portuguese hymns and
airs. After dinner there were brief ad-
dresses. J. F. Durao, the first speak
er, spoke of the glorious names in
Portuguese history, Vasco de Cana
and her other Siscoverers, and then
then in some detail he told of the cir
that led to the successful
effort at independence from Spain in
1640 and how that effort was carried
out largely through the dauntless
of Juan Joao Pinto Ribeiro,
an effort that put the Duke of Brag-
ANA on the throne.
Mr.. Durao was followed by Angus
to Correia. a young man who was one
of the immigrants who arrived from
Portugal last April on the s. s. Ku-
meric. Fl
Consul Canavarro was to have Civ
en- an address. but illness made it
necessary for him to decline, though
he went out to the gathering at 8
O'Clock in the afternoon, and spent
the remainder of the afternoon there.

Helena ~Indepepdent

At The meeting OF the state board of
stock commissioners, it was decided
that, owing to the new laws, it would be
necessary to curtail expenses. 1t was
announced YESTERDAY that the force of
inspectors in the state would be cut
down from ten men TO four men. Two
will be stationed along the line of the
Great Northern, one on the Northern
Pacific aud one on the west side.
At the market points there will be q
smaller corps Of inspectors than for.
merly. In the past, during the ship.
ping eason there have been six inspec.
tors at Chicago; now there will only
be ore permanent man stationed there
and during the shipping season two
of the Montana Inspectors will be de-
tailed to work at Chicago. Permanent
ms pectors will be stationed at St.
Paul, Omaha and Chicago.
The meeting of the board of stock
commissioners was one of the most
successful that has been held in years.
w. G. Preuitt has been secretary OF
the board and of the Montana Stock
Growers association 16 years, and
under him the work has expanded
many times to what it was when he
assumed the position. Everything ia
kept in shipshape at the Office and the
records are 80 kept that any particular
inform alton can be found instantly.
Under the new law the funds of the
board of stock commissioners and Of
the stock ASSOCIATION will be kept here
after in the state treasury. State FIX
sminer T. E. Collins recently complet'
ed the task of auditing the accounts
which are kept by MIR. Preuitt and
they we're found to be in perfect con
dition, a was evidenced by the ''au
dited and approved" note affixed Il

STRING FlEND GETS BUSY.
Newspaper Correspondent Has Wis.,
ion Of Spectacular Man Hunt.

A northern Montana newspaper cor.
respondent whose pay depends upon
the length of the stuff he writes. sought
to earn q more or less honest dollar
by sending to Butte and Anaconda
newspapers the story Of q man hunt
that is almost entirely imaginary.
The only found alton for the story lie
that two brothers of A. D. Gill have
organized q small search party, in
which are two or three Indians, for
the purpose of finding some trace of
the missing Landusky stockman.
This circumstance is enlarged upon
by the "string iend" to this effect:
HAvRE, April - Representative
Charles N. Pray leads q search to.
night which intends to bring in to
justice all the surviving members Of
the Kid Curry gang. 1t is hoped even
to capture the redoubtable "Kid."

ty bunch of mountains detached from
the main range and surrounded by
plains on either side, is encircled to.
night by state aud United States Off.
Gers, who will be surprised a. we'll as
disappointed If their roundup should
this time fail.
Officers who went out of Havre to.
night with Mr.. Pray announced sim.
ply as their purpose the possible re.
covery of the body Of A. D. Gill,
p%rospector. poet, rich man and per.
~sistent foe of the Curry gang, who
disappeared my%steriously from his
ranch at the foot Of the Little Rockies
at the beginning of the winter. Gill
was declared an informer by the
"~Curryites" at q time when their
leader was in sore straits for shelter.
He never denied the accusation, and
az q result suffered q number of as.
saults, in all of which he proved vic.
tor. He told his friends that he had
been shot at several times on his
rounds over the mountain roads.
Somewhere about Nov. Is Gill went
from his ranch on his favorite horse,
Fearless, and he has eve been seer
by friends or relatives since.
Two brothers OF Gill, who we're 60
unnecessarily cautious as not to reg
lister at their hotel, came from Mas
sachusettes to find the body OF thei,
brother, if he was dead, and in any
event to do all possible to wreak ven
geance on the "Curryites." They wen
out with the Havre division Of man
hunters tonight.
The Havre party, led by Representa-
tive Pray, is to be guided by Office
Charles Crawford, of this city, for 81,
years under sheriff of Choutea,

two weeks leave of absence thi
evening at a hasty special session O
