democrat who can be dragged from the
city, the brush Of the country, or
pulled out of hiding anywhere to swell
the ensemble of the patriot band that

THE BILLINGS CLIMATE.

1t would be hard to find q more
ideal climate than that in the
Yellowstone valley this winter. There
has not been a momen. sso far that
the thermometer has registered as
low as 8 and during the day 1t has
usually been as warm as on q spring
afternoon.
Sunday afternoon an excellent dem
onstration Of the fine weather was
given when the Second Regiment
band gave an open air concert which
was listened to by several hundred
people, many Of whom wore no
wraps. The crowd looked Just as
warm and even more comfortable than
did the audiences to which the band
played in the hottest weather last
summer.
When the Billings people, who are
spending their winter in California
wrapped in the Earnest clothes, hear
OF the excellent weather, they will
probably have an attack Of genuine
homesickness. Open air concerts in
the latter part OF January are a nov
