First National Bank Meeting.

The regular annual meeting of

Saturday when the following
named directors were elected
J. c. Kinney, L. S. Patterson,
Paul A. Fishcer, F. j. Stipek and
H. Robinson. The directors then
proceeded to elect officers as fol-
lows: ]. c. Kinney, president;
l.. S. Patterson, vice president;

The stockholders were highly

Telephone Company Meeting.

The regular annual meeting of
the .Wibaux Investment Com
pany, owners and operators of
the Wibaux-Ekalaka telephone
system, was held January z.
Directors for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: w. A.
Orgain, H. Mullendore, J. c.
Kinney, E. E. Jordan, w. H.
Rucker and F. J. Stipek, for the
Wibaux end Of the line and
Frank Emerson, R. C. Charters
and P. H. Ferguson for the Eka-
laka end of the line. Officers
for the ensuing year were also
elected and are as follows: w,
A. Orgain, president; H. Mullen
dore, vice president; E. E. Jor,
dan, secretary; j. G. Kinney,
treasurer.
The rent for residence phones
was cut to $500 per month
which is reasonable enough sc
that everybody can afford to
have one in their home in fact
can hardly afford to be without
one, considering the fact that
the merchants all run delivery
wagons.
Stockholders in the company
are highly pleased with the re.
suits thus far attained and as
more instruments are constantly
being installed the prospects fol
the future are excellent.

Pleasant Social Gathering.

An exceedingly pleasant party
was given at the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Cannon last Thursday evening.
A goodly number Of invited
guests were present and the ev-
ening was spent in dancing and
card playing. Mrs. Wills, at the
piano, furnished excellent music
for the dancing. Punch was
served during the evening and at
midnight the guests were treat
to sumptuous lap supper, short
ly after which all departed for
their homes, unanimous in their
decision that as entertainers Mr..
and Mrs. Cannon were unsur-
passed.

,NeWlor,-Jenscn.

Geo. C. Jensen, vice president
Of the w. A. Organ Co., and
Miss Flora B. Newton, of Fair
view, Montana, a sister Of Mrs.
Frank Cannon, were quietly
married at the home of Hon. and
Mrs. F. P. Leiper at Glendive on
Saturday last. Miss Clementine
Dundas acted as bridesmaid and
Mr.. Lew Newton, a brother of
the bride, as best man.
To say that these young peo-
pie surprised their friends in no
manner fits the occasion, as the
fact that they contemplated mat
rimony was, it seems, entirely
unknown. Postmaster Jordan
was in" on the secret and help-
ed them engineer it SO we'll that
not more than two or three peo-
pie in Wibaux knew Of it until
they returned from Glendive as
Mr.. and Mrs. Jensen.
! The young couple are very well
and favorably known throughout
the county and have a multitude
of friends with whom The Pho
neer joins in wishing Mr.. and
Mrs. Jensen all the happiness
and blessings Of matrimony.

Gcins 10 Take Day Off.

A postmaster in North Dakota,
posted the following notice on
his shutter recently:
"All parties expectin' mail are
hereby notified to git all that's
comm to 'em in advance-any
time before next Thursday, that
bein' the day we have app'inted
to go huntin not havin' had a
holiday from the government
since July 4, and the said gov
ernment seemin' to forget that,
bein' only human, we need rest
and recreation occasional. There
is some little mail here for the
Joneses and the Tompinses- but
it don't amount to much, as it's
all got one-cent stamps on it.
There amt nothin' much in the
business nohow. "-Ex.
Frank Tullar and VIM. Baird
Of Beach, had business in town
this week.
James says that anthracite
coal is the only thing (that is,
apparently, at times) to burn.
The Wibaux M. w. A. will
give a social in the Odd Fellows
hall on Saturday evening, Jan.
10, for Woodmen and their fam
lilies.
When you wish donations for
churches, schools or other char
liable work you solicit your home
banker or merchant. The First
National Bank of Wibaux re-
spectfully solicits all home busi-
ness.
Mr.. G. B. Pope, Of the firm OF
Pope & Howard, Of Glendive,
came down this week to make
arrangements to have grain
hauled out for his sheep. Mr..
Pope has a large crew of men
working with his sheep and says
that the snow is SO deep and the
conditions generally, are so bad
north Of Blue Mountain, where:
his sheep are located, that the
loss will be great if the sheep
are not fed and we'll cared for.
J. L. Miner was in from his
ranch twenty-five miles north
this week getting men and max
ing arrangements to trail about
4,500 of his sheep to Wibaux.
From here he will ship them to
Billings and feed them alfalfa
for the rest of the winter. Mr..
Miner says the conditions are
bad and as he will probably not
have hay enough for all his
sheep he has decided on this
move, which leaves about 2,5OO
at the ranch. It will be neces-
sary for him to use a snow ploW
the whole distance in order to
get the sheep through.

Another Real Estate Office.

Mr.. Babler, Of Perham, Min
nesota, was here with a party of
land men this week and COM
pleted arrangements to locate
here permanently and open a
land office, having rented the
Kinney building first door south
Of the First National Bank, and
also the newly-erected Payne
residence. He will arrive with
his wife and little boy some time
in February. Mr.. Babler is an
experienced real estate man and
says he will make the land bust
ness better than ever in this vi
cinity.

The Town of Wibaux.

Wibaux, just six miles from the
state line, located on the main
line Of the Northern Pacific and
on the Big Beaver, a beautiful
stream that empties into the Lit
tie Missouri in Dakota.
WibauX, pronounced Wee-bo,
is a typical, hustling, western
town with metropolitan ideas
and 500 inhabitants. Originally
merely a shipping point for cat
tie, it has grown steadily, and is
now a successful bidder for trade
that comes a hundred miles over
land.
It is interesting for the eastern
man unaccustomed to such rapid
development, to visit such a town
as Wibaux. For instance, he
will wonder where all the people
come from who support three
such splendid general stores,
stores that would do credit to
towns Of 5000 people. He will
speculate on the need Of two
banks, both occupying handsome
structures. He will be surprised
at the activity in building and
other improvements, both busi-
ness blocks and residences. He
will be struck with the prosper
Gus air Of the homes, the pretty
lawns, freshly painted houses,
the general air of thrift and COM
fort, and he will fail to under
stand why there are no idlers
about, no man without job or
something to keep him busy.
But it is the west, the growing,
busy west, where there are too
many opportunities for anyone
with money to invest, or trade
to follow, to remain idle.
While there are plenty of plac-
es where land can be irrigated,
there is as yet very little irrigat-
ing done because large yields are
possible without it. And the
man with few hundred dollars
can get a start on one of these
farms can make a payment and
in a few years be free from debt
with a farm that has perhaps
trebled in value to show for his
labor. The farmer who gets a
quarter section near Wibaux, and
who supplements cropping the
land with a few head Of Stock.
will get ahead.
Another important factor is
the market. For years to come
Montana will consume more than
is raised within her borders. At
Wibaux, and other eastern Mon
tana towns, there is a local mar
ket that is the best in the world
because the demand for farm
products is greater than the sup
ply. A strong home market is a
great factor in the farmers
prosperity.
With thousands of fertile acres
from which he can take his
choice, with a rapidly growing
town for a market and supply
point, with a. transcontinental
railway running past his door,
with a climate that is delightful,
with fuel on his own land : for
the entire region is underlaid
with great coal measures that
crop out in many places on the
surface-with all these advan-
tages the farmer and stockraiser
will find opportunity" spelled
for him at last, and it is on the
prosperity of the farmer and
rancher that the town depends
for it's existence.
But the town man who wants
to go into some business for him
self will find Wibaux a good
point. The town now has,.
2 banks,
2 hotels,
3 saloons,
Postofice,
3 churches,
