Opportunity Is
Knocking Now

Opportunity-rare and Of the kind
which comes but once to man or COM
munity, is knocking loudly at Havle's
door, and, why should we fail to grasp
casual glance this opportunity might
not be appreciated but the Ion er ou
study On it, we think the more forc-
IDLY will it become apparent. We al
lude to the question of what dis osal
will be made of the magnificent body
Of land---upwards Of 200 03O acre
embraced in the Fort Assinnibo
Military reservation.
Last week we made a motion to the
Havre Industrial association that eff
forts be made to have this land OPEN
ed to settlement. Well, there has
been no official action taken, neither
has the editor of the Herald taken the
time to make a canvas of the busi-
ness men, but we have talked with
several and these agreed that a settle
ment Of these lands would prove of
great and lasting benefit, but also a.
greed that there was but little hore
that such an end could be brought a.
bout, giving various reasons for think
ing so. Some of these were the di-
vergence of opinion held among the
Havre people; the fact that the War
department would not be inf u n ced
by requests Of the people hereabout
and others too numerous to mention
Now the Herald believes that this
desired end could be brought about
and did not hesitate to make thesug-
gestion, hough it Is not "hobby."
with us. We hope that the ma ter
will be thoroughly weighed by our
citizens and it Is with this end in
view that we have taken occasion,
bo last week taand this, to refer
to this subject as we have. We ale
of the opinion that If the coming ses-
sion of congress could be induced to
open this land to settlement, it would
prove the greatest event in the h st
ory of Havre and go farther towards
building up the town than anything
that has ever happened.
In the frs place, if an opening was
to be held here some day next April
or May, long before the date set 10
the drawing, Havre would fill up with
thousands of the million residents of
the middle and eastern states who are
annually travelling to the great North
west. These men are well-to-do they
have money and are looking for new
homes in the west. There is room for
1900 homesteads On the reservation.
Then this Is not all that Wou be ac-
complished; the word having gone out
through these United States that Un-
Gle Sam was going to throw oren the
great Fort AssinnibCine reservation
and give another Of the rapidly dimin-
ishing chances to secure ee land,
then, aking statistics Of some of the
more recent openings, there would be
on hand ten men to every quarter sec
tion Of land; the overflow would go In
all directions and settle on every av-
ailable home site
It Is not a dream-It Is a rae op-
portunity-If we could only bring it
about. Think 1t over.

Statement From Mayor Reeves.

Last Friday one OF the teachers In the
city schools broke out with scarlet fever
In the room among all her Students. On
this account, and because Of other oasos
In the city, the local bnard Of health
called the attention Of the mayor IN .
show that was exhibiting in the city, and
suggested that the dense crowd there OF
evenings might result In serious conse-
qnences to the children Of this city, and
the mayor was requested TO close the
show. At the suggestion Of the show
people Il was proposed BY the mayor to
the health officers that children be ex-
Guided and the saturday performance be
permitted. But the health officers said
and wisely too NJ doubt, that adults had
scattered this disease the same as
children and that through the adults the
children were exposed, and that children
might about as well be ADMITTED as adults
Therenpon the mayor insisted that the
show stop. The skating rink, which was
preparing for great entertainment Sat.
urday evening was also closed. They
acted very decently about 1t and made no
complaint. But the show people roasted
the mayor to a nice brown turn, although
they knew exactly why be closed them
and that 1t was at the direction Of the
health department Of the city, and few
bocdlums around town took up and
echoed the refrain, and sat arUnDd on
their launches and yelped The show
people announced that they would give
an exhibition anyhow. The mayor d.
rected the marshal saturday to see that
they pulled down their tent at once and
ordered that arrangements be made to
swear in as many deputy marsbals as
necessary to arrest the whole outfit II
they attempted TO give another exbibi-
ton. The manager when he read this
order was not so gay as he was the night
before but promptly got busy and quit
town. Had this show been permitted to
continue and the rink permitted to give
its performance and the hot and crowded
condition of the tent aud rink had re-
suited in q violent spread Of scarlet fever
and the loss of some children what then
would have been said about the board Of
health and the mayor? The mayor is
entirely willing to be criticised for acting
for good cause. He believes that the
decent people Of this city will sustain
him, even though they think he need not
have done what he did, and as fJr the
other cass-well, be would rather have
their good will but II 1t has to be purchase
ed by the violation Of his duties and his
oath of office the price is more than be
cares TO pay. Respectfully,
THE MAYOR.

IN A HAUNTED CHAMBER.
Readable Tale of the Transformation

with Lady C., In Kent. The Pines
was renowned old place both for hos
pitality and picturesQueness.
"The house, two-story rambling
structure which stood In among the
great pine trees and was almost covered
with ivy, was haunted. so every one
said. Two little girls had been brutally
murdered some hundred years before;
their cries could be heard at twilight,
and sometimes the little figures were
seen in the library, also hurrying
through the corridors.
"The servants were afraid to pass the
library at that hour. As am not a
nervous person, had no fear, although
Esther had told some thrilling tales as
she combed my hair In the morning.
1T happened on this particular after

had some important letters to write
and 1t seemed the only opportunity. The
letters written, | sank into one Of those
great-grandfather chairs to doze.
"A splendid log fire burned on the
hearth, and the cracking sparks chased
each other up the wide old chimney.
The weather was quite chilly, and the
evenings closed in early at this time Of
year. I lost myself In Sunderland.
Presently, for 1t seemed only mo-
ment since sat down, awoke with the
terrible feeling of some unknown pres
ence being near. The room was almost
dark. A few embers still gIowed on the
hearth and shed faint light.
Il plnckily peeped through my half
closed lids. for, really, was afraid to
open my eyes, truly afraid-of what? l.

burn themselves into my brain in an in
slant.

Hats That Improve with Age.

"a silk hat, like wine. improves with
age" said a clubman. THE oftener YOU
have it ironed the sleeker and more bril-
liant it becomes.
1T costs a good deal at the outset, but
in the end 1t is the cheapest hat to wear.
1t lasts, you see, so long, and to iron
it costs so little-a dime or so.
''Some folks think the topper very per-
ishable. If it gets soaked with rain, if
some one sits on it and brushes 1t into
an ACCORDION, they think it must be
thrown away, the same as if it were q
derby. But not at all. A silk hat can
be taken apart and put together, again
like watch, and If it gets crushed, moth
ing is easier than to melt off the silk.
straighten out the frame, and then put
on the silk again.
'In England, the home of this hat,
have known men to wear the same top
per for ten or twelve years. And the
oftener the old hat is ironed, the brighter
and finer it shines. Its luster increases
with time and friction like the luster of
good antique furniture"
