HOW TO APPLY PAINT.
Greatest care should be taken when

Greatest care should be taken when painting buildings or implements which are exposed to the weather, to have the paint applied properly. No excellence of material can make up Tor carelessness of application. any more than care in applying it can make poor paint wear well.
 The surface to be painted should be dry and scraped and sandpapered hard and smooth. Pure white lead should be mixed with pure linseed oil. fresh for the job. and should be well brushed out, not flowed on thick. When painting is done in this manner with National Lead Company's pure white lead Grade marked with "The Dutch Boy Painter') there is every chance that the job will be satisfac. tory. White lead is capable of ab- solute test for purity. National Lead Company, Woodbridge Building, New York, will send a testing outfit free to any one interested.

Billing. County oraanIzed

One of the most successful gatherings
OF Sunday school workers of the west was
held Saturday and Sunday at Beach.
The Rev. John Orchard, general secre-
tary, had enlisted the good oficies of
A. L. Arnold of Beach and Rev. A. Doug
las of Sentinel Butte in the call for a
hrst interdenominational gathering for
that comfy. Those living in the eastern
part of Dawson county in Montana, were
also most interested people.
A program lasting through Saturday
afternoon and all day Sunday, drew to-
gether large crowd. Over 40 delegates
were present from Sentinel Butte, Rocky
Butte, Wibaux and Beach. These, to-
gether with the local audience, filled
every available seat in the hall.
Papers and addresses were given from
each of the representative districts, with
special work of General Secretary
Orchard, and lecture at the closing
session by Mr.. Orchard. About $50 was
pledged for local and state work, and
by unanimous vote it was decided to
organize county association and, by
special request, the eastern part of
Dawson county in Montana, was made a
part of the association.
Reports of usual interest were re-
ceived from the schools. These included
the organization, numerical and financial
strength.
Two points in the county, Beach and
Sentinel Butte, will have church build
ings ere the fall of this year. The Rev.
A. Douglas has been exceedingly sue.
cessful in moulding the several denomi.
national factors into living power.
As result of the first election we
record the following officers for the
county association: President, A. l.
Arnold, Beach; 1st vice Pres, Mrs
Chappell, Wibaux; End vice Pres, w
H. Middleton, Rocky Butte; secretary
and treasurer, Prof. Kitchen, Sentinel
Butte; for the department of elementary
work, Miss E. Graft of Sentinel Butte
was selected; for the home department
Miss Telford of Rocky Butte.
A most cordial invitation was extended
from the Sentinel Butte people to NEE,
in that city for the next convention on
the nth and I2th Of April, 1909.
i Resolutions were adopted conveying
the most glowing tribute to the friends
giving work on the program, to the
general secretary; musicians and others
Beach entertained the delegates mos,
royalty, showing her deep interest in the
moral and spiritual welfare of the county
The success Of the convention wal
largely due to the energetic service o.
AL. Arnold, who spared no pains tc
make the gathering a memorable one 70,

man Making Last Trip
Is Killed!

A burned trestle at the approach Of a
dry bridge near Dewey, seven miles from
Forsyth, Mont. was the cause of a wreck
on the N. P. Tuesday forenoon, which
delayed traffic from the west about Il
hours. 'lsA@
\ Fireman Gustatson was killed outright
but engineer Waddinsham escaped
without injury, aside fromra shaking up.
The puick application Of the air brakes
saved the. train from a serious smilla;tshlup
and after the engine went through the
trestle only the forward trucks of the
mail car left the rails and none. Of the
passengers we're injured.
The unfortunate fireman, was making
his last trip and had plans made for =
trip to the old country. He was for
some time on this division and fred for
w. T. Nickel. Gustafson was man of
excellent habits and had scores of friends
among the railroad men. He had over
$1,000 on his person at the time of his
death.
Engineer Waddingham has many
friends on the Yellowstone division. who
congratulate him upon his miraculous
escape. His engine No. 247 in excellent
shape, just from shops, is now credited
with killing five men, one being Engin-

1 Seldom has one man been identified in
50 many ways and for SO long a time
with community as has Mr.. Dobson
with Dickinson and the surrounding
country. Coming here as young man
and engaging in the stock business, he
was known to many in the free: and
hearty friendship of camp and roundup;
to the members Of St. Johns church he
has been both priest and brother and
from the time he held the first service in
the church until he laid down his earthly
work at the Masters call, his heart was
with St. Johns parish and all his
efforts devoted to its up-building. He
had advanced far in the councils of the
Masonic bodies, where his opinions
and his consistent life had great
weight. In municipal affairs and in
matters of public improvement, Mr. Dob

In laying out for street planting let
the first stakes be set at the street
crossings, says Park and Cemetery.
When the abutting streets also are to
be planted. place two stakes at each
corner about thirty feet from the point
of intersection of the curb line on each
street. Then space off the intervening
distance, setting the stakes equally dis
tant apart. but not less than sixty-fve
feet as the shortest distance. Street
trees generally are planted too closely
together. Sometimes this is done with
the intention of cutting out alternate
ones. as the growth of the trees re-
quires. This. however, is seldom done.
and the trees grow up too thickly.
thereby overcrowding and injuring one
another, destroying all the individual
beauty of the trees and the symmet-
rical arrangement which an avenue OF
trees should have.
