| Last year the claims of Assinni-
boine reservation as a place for the
concentration of troops in a camp of
instruction were presented, it was
stated at the War Department too late
to be then considered, the troops from
Montana being sent to American Lake
Washington, for field exercises. The
Havre Industrial association was in
formed that Assinniboine' claims
would receive consideration first in
the event of future camps of concen-
tration being ordered. Encour-
aging messages have been received
from our representatives in congress
as to tic efforts they have been max

reference to having troop maneuvers
conducted on the Fort Assinniboine
reservation, and the really more i'm
portant object they are advocating,
the permanent establishment and en-
largement of the post, but, as far as
we are informed, nothing Of a favor
able nature has thus far elninated
from the war department on either
subject.
The merits of Fort Assinniboine
with its extensive reservation of over
343 square miles are not generally
known throughout our state, but when
the citizens of Montana become ac-
Quainted with the advantages possess

the war department, to be accomplish

of the press of our entire state and
it's people in the efforts we are MAX

from the authorities, for the only a

Last Saturday afternoon the lodge
rooms OF Havre Lodge f. O. E. were
the scene of impressive funeral serv-
ices held in memory of George NJ.
Purnell. prominent member of the
order and one of Havre's best known
citizens, whose death occurred at
Great Falls last week
There was a large attendance of
lodge members and friends at the
services and many eyes We're wet with
tears OF sympathy as the beautiful
service for the Eagle dead was read
by Charles Ling. Congressman Chas.
Pray, member of the local lodge and
warm friend of the departed, spoke
feelingly Of his life and the frienu1hip
he held in Havre. Mr.. Pray was eyl-
IDENTIFY deeply impressed and Frequently
stopped in the course of his remarks
to control his emotion. No more
fitting tribute could have been paid a
departed lodge member and friend
than that which was expressed in a
lew wen CllOSeu .WOiuS vi Illil DS
Congressman Pray.
The Eagle quartette rendered TWO
selections at the bier OF the departed
and the heavily draped casket was
exposed in order that the remains
might be viewed for the last time by
those who knew and loved George
Purnell in life, and mourned his TAX
ing in all sincerity and sadness. The
day was bitter cold but the remains
were escorted to the depot by an hon
Orary Escort, the names given in the
Herald of last week. Jas. Holland
accompanied the remains as far as
Chicago, where they were then taken
in charge by brother of the deceased
and vii, rest in the old home, in far
off Maryland
The usual resolutions of mourning
were passed by the lodge and the
charter ordered draped in mourning
for the usual number of days. It
was fitting service over all that re-
manned earthly of one who had many
warm friends among large list of
acquaintance and whose early associ-
ations with the city will retain a
warm spot in the memory of those
who mourn for him today.
