HAvRE TO Be COAL CAMP
MIR. Morley of the State Railway Com
mission Predicts Great Things for
Our Little City.

coal encountered is of very good
quality of Ignite coal With very
little development work these mines
can be made dividend producers A
railroad line has been surveyed by
the company for its own use to be
run direct from the mine to the Great
Northern freight yards, and the track
will be standard guage SO as to ac-
comodate the cars of the Great
Northern. The cars Will be pulled
by engines OF the company and there
will be no second handling of the coal
as the company propose to deliver
direct to the railroad company for
shipment. When Cnce rates are
established SO as to allow shipment
Of coal to the outside, EIavres flu
ture will be assured"
Mr. Morley said, "one Of the great
properties surrounding Havre will be
their cement banks about four miles
southwest Of Havre, that will make
an excellent quality of cement, and
the supply would seem we'll nigh in
exhaustible.
In conclusion Mr.. Morley said, the
Eagles of the city are now busy pre-
pairing for the annual state meeting
Of that order and the citizens from
all throughout the state will be we'll

OBSERVED IN and ABOUT THE CITY

The Honorable Jere Sullivan was
a city visitor several days OF this
week, being called here to convene
the county commissioners in special
session.
Fred Kroeger, one of the trusted
employees of the Havre Commercial,
is at his post of duty again. Mr..
Kroeger has been on his ranch at
Hinsdale improving it with a fine new
home. Rumor has it that he is soon
to become a benedict.
Born-A Montana standard weight
boy arrived at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Langstrom last Saturday
afternoon, and Mr.. Langstrom, pop
ular and trusted employee of the Com
mercial grocery department, is the haI
piest man in town. Mother and son
are doing nicely at last reports.

VIEW The
LLOYD ROAD

The board of county commission
ers held two important sessions in
this city this week to give their per-
sonal attention to several mates
which have been before the board
as we'll as several which were turned
over to them by the board which
retired recently.
The board went out on Monday and
drove over the Havre-Lloyd road,
which has been hanging fire for three
Or four years, and it is more than
likely that the road will become a
reality at the coming meeting of the
board in June
Another matter disposed of was re-
garding the lease of lands from C. A.
Cheelen north, of the city. About a
year ago the old board leased 120
acres of land from Mr.. Cheelen on
which the county could erect and
maintain a pest house. The lease
was supposed to have included about
forty acres on this side Of the river
ard tile buildings were built there
by the county officials. It was then
that Mr.. Cheelen forbade the use of
that tract for the purpose and con-
siderable trouble was the result. The
case of small pox last winter, which
was taken to a small house owned
by Mrs. Corey, being one instance.
The man came in sick with small
pox, Cheelen forbade any one going
on his lands, and the houses We're
in no condition to shelter anyone in
midwinter. AS final resort the
Well, upon meeting with the board
Of commissioners on Monday, Mr..
Cheelen entered into an agreement
whrby (for consideration the coun-
ty may use this forty acres until next
April. 1t is the intention of the
board to remove the buildings across
the river this winter on the ice.
Mrs. Corey has made a demand
upon the county commissioners for
the payment of $500 as damages to
her house. The board met with
her and an amicable agreement ent-
cred into whereby Mrs. Corey re-
leases the county from all claims for
consideration of $100, and the paint
ing and plastering of her house.
Tuesday morning the board met
and organized as a county board of
health, as required by the new coun-
ty board Of health law. Jere Sui
livan, the versatile chairman Of the
commissioners was chosen as chair
man of the county health board and
DR.. w. T. Hamilton was named as
secretary.
The commissioners feel that their
mission was easily and satisfactorily
accomplished.

Helena, May IS, 19O7.-E. A. Morley,
Of the railroad commission returned
from Havre, Tuesday, after a tho
rough investigation in coal matters in
that city. Mr.. Morley in an inter
view with the representative of the
Montana Press bureau said, Il was
delighted with the hospitable ard gen.
erous manner in which | was treated
while in the bustling little northern
Montana city. The city has a sub
stantial ~businesslille appearance, and
the brick structures that are en- the
main streets would be a credit to a
city Of three times the population of
the city OF Havre.
II was generously entertained by
the citizns of Havre, and especially
SO by Mayor Newman, who made my
stay in his city most pleasant cne.
Under the administration Of Mayor
Newman Hayre is now known as an
diction to its former reputation Of
being a rough and ready place. Mr..
Morley said "Why even Shorty
Young's place, the once famous Hon
key Tonk' is quiet and orderly, and
has none Of the earmarks of its once
former toughness, and this is all due
to the regime OF Mayor Newman.
Havre is surrounded by some Of
the finest coal lands in the state and
the enterprising men of that city are
just awakening to the fact that they
have the making of one of the hest
towns in the state at their very door.
There are a number of small coal
mine owners operating in and near
Havre, but the Havre Fuel company
is one of the best This company has
its mine two and one half miles
northwest Of Havre, which coal land
is under lease from the state Of Mon
tana. They are drifting west and
north, and have more than mile of
development tunnels. In their north
development tunnel the coal is be-
coming better in quality, and the
character of coal is of the best found
in this state They have more than
100000 tons Of coal in sight at the
present time, and can with their pres
ent equipment take out from 500 to
500 tons of ccal a day. The company
propose to build an electric line from
the mine direct to Havre, so as to
expedite the delivery, and handling
of the COAL
THE State Coal company is an
other wealth producer near the city
of Havre, though not as far devel-
oped as the Havre Fuel company.
Their mines are about nine miles
southeast of the city of Havre, and
they have vein Of coal from six and
one half to seven feet thick, and the

]. N. WILCOX
is MISSING

The North Montana press dispatches
of the past week have been telling
of the mysterious disappearance Of j.
NJ. Wilcox from his home at Shelby
Junction Wilcox was a resident of
HaVre for several years, and was re-
Gently deputy sheriff of Teton
county, under Sheriff C. w. Taylor,
and has long been resident of Teton
county. He has been engaged recent
ly in conducting a saloon and rest
aurant at Virden, about one and one
half miles from Shelby, making his
home in Sehlby with his wife. 1t
had been his custom, after closin 6
business for the night, to walk from
Virden to his home. The night of
the LIST inst, after closing up the
days business, he told the telegraph
operator at Virden that he was about
to leave for his home. At that time,
it is known, he had about SITS on his
person. IIehas not been seen, so
far as can be learned, since he told
the operator that he was about 10
leave for his home.
Information as late as Wednesday
Of this week is to the effect that all
efforts toobtain a, clew of the missing
man have been unavailing, and his
friends and the officers have come to
the conclusion that he was murdered
BY robbers and the body concealed.
His friends and relatives declare
that there was no reason for him to
disappear, and he left his busine. S
and personal effects in such condition
that there does not appear any reason
to believe that he voluntarily left the
community. He has a wife and child
rem in Shelby, where he had made his
home for several years.

| looks LIKE
DOUBLE TAX

One OF the most vexing problems
bequeathed to Montana BY the recent
Legislature is the Board of Hoa, th
law, at least that is how it appears
to the city administration Of Havre
as well as to many Of the business
men of this city, and we presume it
will SO appeal to many OF the smaller
incorporated towns and villages cf the
state. The matter was vey tho
roughly gone over on Tuesday after
noon at the city hall, when Jere Sui.
livan of Fort Benton and Alex Ross,
of Ada, a majority of the board of
county commissioners of Chouteau
county and Mayor l.. Newman and Al
dermen Smith, Kcndig, STADIUM and
Burke met to consider and try and
come to some agreement as to the
care of any cases OF contagious dis
eases that may have to be dealt with
from now on.
The afternoon was spent in read
ing and quoting from the law and a
discussion of its provisions Nothing
was accomplished. The county and
city representatives taking and hold
ing to the end, diametfically opposite
views.
When it is said that nothing was
accomplished, we err slightly, as it
was determined to secure an opinion
from the states attorney on the law.
The county representatives claimed
that it was now up to the city of
Havre to care for all cases that might
occur in the city or within a radius
Of three miles OF the city.
The city representatives claimed
that the city would care for all cases
where the person afflicted was finarc-
tally able to pay for such care and if
he was not SO able it vas UP to the
county to care for them as pauDers,
claiming that it would be double tax
alton otherwise, inasmuch as residents
Of the city are required to pay a
pcaf or poll tax to raise funds for
this very purpose and that under the
new law we would receive nothing Of
this money.
Mayor Newman announced his in
tention to communicate with the may
ors of Fort Benton and Chinook, the
other incorporated towns of the
county, to secure a united action in
the matter.
The law requires the appointment OF
a city board of health and the Sc
lection of secretary, providing for
a salary, in counties of this class,
Of not to exceed $1,000. 1t appears as
a most unjust and unnecessary law,
and judging from the stand taken by
the city authorities at this meeting,
it will be put to a complete. test be-
fore they have finished
The Havre herald., 1907-05-17

The meeting called for last Tues
day evening at the city hall for the
purpose Of adopting the Rev. Christ
ler's proposition of a permaennt
Memorial Day association, was largely
attended and much interest was man
ifest in the proceedings of the meet
ing. With Mayor Newman in the
chair the meeting was called to
order at $3.50 O'Clock, with Mr.. D. c.
Cherrier as acting secretary. The
mayor in a brief address, explained
the purpose Of the meeting and dwelt
on the desirableness of Memorial
Day association, after which he intro
duced the Rev. l.. J. Christler, the
proposer of the project, who spoke in
part as follows:
From age to age mankind has had
it's days in which to look tenderly to
the places where loved ones sleep and
it's customs from which came the i'm
pulse to wreath those places into the
flowers OF nope. ..
Turn your eyes to the beginning
Of time and glance from thence down
through the pages CT history and you
will find the Hebrews, the Athenians,
the Greeks and the Romans honoring
their dead and strewing the graves
with the eEblems that symbolic love,
virtue, power and Immortality. The
cemeteries, the church yards, the per-
fumed graves and the national fields
were 70 them the centers of fame and
power
"The same worthy custom prevails
with the American people today. AS
it has been in generations gone, so
it is also now. The flowers we strew,
the words we say, the memorial trib-
utes we offer, give expression to our
love for the dead, to our reverence
for the holy sell wherein reposes the
slumbering dust of some o. the best,
the purest and the 5ravest Of our
generation, and above which shines
the light Of the star of hope, bright
with the promise Of Immortality. Thus
the grand idea and sacred practice
which men have gradually in the
course of years worked out and mem
sorialized has come down to us as a
priceless legacy from which can De
drawn strength for better action,
strength for purer thought, and
strength for more goodness. Let us
then fittingly keep our Memorial Day,
freighted with such helpful inspira-
tions; a day when soldier and citizen
young and old reaffirm their allegi-
ance to the honored dead, re-affirm
their loyalty to the greatest living ex-
ponent--the American Flag"

meeting was open for general discus
sion and speeches were made by
