against them in several different
states and the passage of stringent
laws prohibiting them from operating

the Chicago board of trade in prose

many of the leading bucketshop con
Germs, which have had a network of
private wires covering practically ev.

Northwest, to decide to withdraw from

It is understood that the leading
bucketshop concern in Indiana is pre-

middle Of June, which is the time set
for their closing up by the state au-

passed prohibiting bucketshops in
that state. Iowa and Missouri have
passed similar laws and bills are pend

Massachusetts, as well as In the Cana

The volume of business transacted
by the different bucketshop concerns
has been enormous, especially as they
usually have charged only half the
commission exacted by regular houses.

NON -AH-FL0ATS
HAVE BIG T|ME:

The celebration OF "Non-Ah-Flc
Day" at Chinook last Friday, While
it was not as enthusiastic and hilari-
GUS as on some former occasions, was
thoroughly enjoyed by large COM
pany of visitors, mostly coming from
the ranches in the neighborhood Of
the little city.
The feature Of the afternoons enter
tainment was the much-talked about
game of base ball between the single
and married men of the town, and,
the single boys taught the married
"has-oeens' a lesson which will not
be soon forgotten. The game was
spicey from start to finish, though
early in the game it could be seen
that the married men were out-class-
ed The result was a score of to 8
in favor of the single men. --.-..
The real event of the day ON this
occasion, as on all former ones, was

capacity for hours. Despite the crowd
everybody seemed bent on enjoying
to the limit the pleasures of the mo-
ment and not until the Home, Sweet
Home" waltz was over did the en-
ehusiasn lag in the least.
All during the day and evening, at
convenient booths, ice cream, cake,
lemonade, sandwiches and fruits
were dispensed without cost to the
multitude. The libera1ity of the
'sNon-Ah-Floats" is proverbial
throughout northern Montana and it
was exercised to its fullest extent
last Friday. o

HELLO TO
CHINOOK

Havre will soon be in position to
say "Hello'' to Chinook and the
country surrounding that town. On
Monday of this week a crew of men
under employ of the Havre Electric
company began work upon the build
ing Of a line to connect the telephone
systems Of the two cities.
BY the terms of an agreement ent-
cred into scme days ago between the
Havro Electric company and the Chi
nookCleveland Telephone company,
each company is to build half way.
It should be a matter of a very few
days until the line is in operation, as
the officers of the Havre company
say that they will have their half Of
the work completed in ten days, pro-
viding the required help can be Sc
cured. The Chinook end Of the line
is built as far as Yantic and it will
take but little work to finish that
end Of it. This may be done BY
the EaVre company.
The Havre system carries 200 phon-
es now and that Of Chinook and tri-
butary lines (Which will all be In
connection) nearly the same number
No definite schedule of rates has
yet been determined upon, but the
charges are to be extremely light, fol-
lowing the policy Of the past.

All the injured were given careful
care in the diner until they could be
brought to Havre.
James Lenehan, one of the pioneer
and best known engineers Of the
Montana division saved the passeng-
ers by quick wit, by application Of em

cused man at the turned switch some
forty seconds before the pile-up.
Engineer Lenehan found himself on

how he got there. He has no in
