Quality, Not Quantity" was turned
out of Havr 6 High school Wednesday
night at the commencement exercises
held in McIntyre's opera house. That
was the motto of the class that called
the attention of DR.. Oscar J. Craig,
president of the Montana State unni-
versity, who was the notable speaker
of the occasion.
Dr. Craig put particular emphasis en-
the fact that Havre in an educational
way had progressed to the point
where it had a graduating class that
without further examination could en-
ter the state university, putting, by
indirection, considerable credit on the
head of Superintendent of Schools T.
J. Troy.
DR.. Craig pointed out to the grad
uates that this was the epoch in their
lives and in presenting them their di-
plomas, expressed the hope that this
epoch would be simply milestone in
their endeavor for education and not
a turning point"
Superintendent of Schools Miss At
kinson declared that the greatest bus
mess of the republic is that of educa-

sympathy between the parent and the

you that each and all of you will be

Entertainment of all is assured,
though only a tentative program has
SO far been arranged. This provides
that the first day shall be simply bu-

ever, the wit and worth and musical
ability Of Havre will gather in McIn-

visitors the hearty spirit of welcome
which they shall have received upon
their arrival. Among the assured ad-
dresses are those by the state presi-
dent, the district grand president and
Mayor L. Newman. But there will be
others, as many of the notable orators
of the state are birds directed hence.
Day two, provision has been made
for two business sessions, to be split

have seen the game elsewhere.

ARE after
SH0PL|FTERS

The store keepers of Havre have had
to deal with most annoying as well
as costly trouble for years-that of
the shoplifter. They have united and
are determined in the future to Wig
orously prosecute anyone caught lift
ing. This determination was brought
about by an experience of the Com
mercial store last Saturday night,
when parties were caught in the act.
They stole child's four dollar hat.
They pleaded guilty to the charge to
representative of the Commercial,
but upon being arranged before Judge
w. B. Pyper, changed their plea to
not guilty The hearing was set for
Monday On Sunday, Officer Bickle
together with representatives of the
Commercial and Fair store, searched
the house and premises and found
hundreds CT dollars worth of merch-
andise concealed in different rooms
Of the house. They were charged
with petit larceny on the hat deal
and on being tried, were found guilty
and fined $3.50 each by Judge Pyper.
The other charge of having stolen
goods in their possession has not come
to trial as yet A great deal of the
has been identified as be-
longing to the stores mentioned. This
should be lesson to shoplifters, as
all cases will be prosecuted to the
full extent OF the law.

.SSINNIBOINE:
MUSTERED
OUT

Three hundred and eighty soldiers
and 327 horses departed Monday from
Fort Assinniboine. Their destination
is Fort Des Moines, Iowa. Their con-
veyance is directly to st. Paul, via the
Great Northern. There they will take
another line.
With the going of these men pass
eth out of existence, so far as the ma
t1onal public can now see the great
est military post in area and worth
on earth. But Havre, many times
ravaged by fire and tornado, never
sleeps upon her losses. It is her hab-
it to get them back in bigger and bet
ter shape than ever before. Havre
continues to work with a will for not
only the preservation of her fort. but
its betterment and increasment.
EIavre found in pain long ago that an
other day comes and she has deter
mined that another and brighter day
shall come for Fort Assinniboine
Before the members of A, B, G and
D trops of the Second cavalry depart
ed they paused in Havre to expires by
music and handshake their apprecia-
ton of the companionship they had
enjoyed with Havre. They will be
as gladly welcomed back, should their
orders ever bring them here again,
because they were good fellows, every
one of them, aand the history of the
police department shows that only six
members CT the command ever over
steppd the line of sobriety while in
Havre. They were good bunch of
soldiers and Des Moines should be
glad to get them.
During it's three-hour lay-over in
Havre, the first squadron of the Sec
ond cavalry made parting sweet sor-
row by the presentation of their band
on the streets Of the city for the
first time. Nearly everybody came
down depot-ways to see the soldier
boys off and in single tune-follow-
ed by many-they played themselves
irto the hearts and remembrance of
the people.
The squadron, commanded by Col.
VIM. Hunt, in person, departed from
Havre at 4:57 p. M, June 10, 1907,
following in guard its horses en- train.
The special train of the soldiers was
made up CT five coaches. tourist car.
commisary car and two sleepers for
the officers, the officers wives and
other accompanying womankind.
There is nothing left now at Fort
Assinniboine but the costly buildings,
the records, eighteen members of the
Sixth infantry on detail from Tom
Carter's fort-Fort Harrison-the hos
pital and siganl corps, numbering in
all, exactly thirty men, including Cap
tain J. J. Boniface, adjutant, who is
still stationed there to see that, at
least, the splendid history of the
splendid shall be preserved by Off
cial records.
