have been extensively worked for
several years for gold, and large
quantities Of scheelte were taken
out and thrown on the dump. Now
this material is being gathered from

Crevasse, a few miles from the KIM

THE richer ore from the Jardine
mines is shipped to Louis Strauss &

grades are concentrated before SHIN

made bring value of from $500 to

Plans are now being worked out
by the various committees for what

held in this part Of Montana. Many
new and novel features of enter
tainment are being figured out and
with anything like favorable day
the crowd which will be in the coun-
ty seat on that festive occasion ought
to break all former records.
The announcement that Moore has
decided not to celebrate this year
is good news to the people of Lewis
town. Such decision means that
practically the entire population Of
the great Rock creek bench country
will come into Lewistown and help
whoop 'er up here.
The Montana railroad has made a
rate Of one fare for the round trip
and hundreds of people will come
from down the line to celebrate in
Lewistown.
Chairman Bebb requests that all
persons who intend to enter horses
in the horse races will present their
entries not later than June 9th.
There appears to be lack of in
terest in the bucking contest and it
is very likely that relay race will
be substituted for this feature. The
relay race is more interesting to the
larger number of spectators than
bucking contest and is not SO dan
gerous.

GEORGE J. BACH
SELLS HOLDINGS
Cashier Of First National Bank Dis

Stock and Retires.

deal whereby he will retire from the
active management of the bank, hav-
ing sold majority of his stock to
w: J. Johnson Of Butte.
The announcement of the change
came as great surprise to many of
Mr.. Bach: friends. only the directors
OF the baak having been given an,
lntlmatlon Of the contemplated deal.
Mr.. Bach's retirement from the
bank was due solely to the unsat
istactory state of his health. The
very close attention which he has
given to the affairs of the bank dur
ing the last eight years and the close
confinement incident to such duties
has begun to tell on him to such an
extent that he felt absolutely obliged
to take some steps which would give
him prolonged vacation.
Mr. Johnson has been for several
years. assistant cashier of the First
National Bank Of Butte, one Of the
strongest financial institutions in the
northwest. He is considered one of
the shrewdest bankers in this state
and will be decided acquisition to
Lewlstown business circles. He also
purchased Mr. Bach's elegant resi-
dence property on Sixth avenue and
will very shortly bring his family to
Lewistown.
Mr.. Bach will remain in the bank
until July lst, after which he will
Just loaf around for few weeks. He
has in mind a trip through the Ma
tional Park with his family and 9th
er Journeys about the state all of
which will be made in his big new
automobile.
Late in the autumn, he will leave
in his machine for a 2OOO-mile trip
across country to San Diego, Cal
ifornia, where he has extensive inter-
ests and where he and his family will
spend the winter. 1t is barely pos
sible that that city will become his
future home
At recent meeting OF the direct
ors of the First National Bank the
retiring cashier was elected second
vice president of the bank and will,
therefore, retain his position on the

RAILROADS SQUEALING.
Jim Hill Says That Government Will
Have to Come to Rescue.

New York, June 13-That the gov
ernment will be forced to lend its
credit to aid the railroads was the
statement made by ] J. Hill today.
"The public in its evaporation, "
said Mr. Hill, will demand that the
railroads lay more rails, and provide
more cars The railroads will
answer that they cannot, that their
credit has been ruined The govern
ment will be obliged to step in and
lend its credit to supply this de-
hciency. The situation might be the
end of republican form of govern
.ment.
The cause of the trouble is that
the business of the United States has
outgrown the capacity OF its rail-
roads and the railroads are in no
position to catch up"

Some Buying at the Falls.

Great Falls, June l3-Therc has
been little more trading in the local
wool market the past few days, rep.
resentatives of eastern firms having
evidently received instructions to "get
busy wherever wool can be bought
at price that promises a margin of
profit, says the River Press In a
few cases no information as to price
can be obtained from either the sheep
man or the buyer, while others are
not so reticent. From the latter are
gathered these particulars of some
recent sales.
The c. II. Evers clip has been sold
to +. r. Peters at % cents.
e w. Dow, representing Koshland
Bros, has purchased the Benton
sheep company and A. f. McLish
clips. The latter brought p cents,
and the sheep company clip is be-
lleved to have sold at about the same
figure.
Wallace f Chase, who will be
local agent for Koshland Bros, dur
ing the season in this section, has
purchased the Fred Wedeking clip at
p cents. He has also secured the
Ed Reichelt clip, which was being
held at 20 cents
Local sheepmen are greatly con-
eerned over the appearance OF scab
among two outfits in this part Of
northern Montana-one on the Shon-
kin and one on the Marias-and it is
feared there are others affected. DR..
NJ. F. Knowles, state veterinarian, is
here today for the purpose OF sizing
up the situation, and, will quarantine
the outfits that have the disease and
others that may have been exposed
The origin OF the trouble is a mys-
terry. as there has been no scab in
this locality for several years.
