MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES
A Very Interesting Program in Honor Of Our
HOnOred Dead Held in CuIveF'S Hail.
Eloquent Address by S.H. Hepner.

The annual Memorial day exercises
held last Saturday afternoon in
Culver's hall were the most interest,"
ing ever held in this city. Every
number on the program was thor
oughly enjoyed by all present. The
hall was crowded, scores of persons
standing throughout the exercises.
The program was opened with an
overture, "In Camn." by the Red
mems band. This organization is a
source of pride among the people Of
this city and their music Saturday
afternoon was excellently rendered.
The Rev. T. Reber Taggart then
delivered most eloquent invocation
after which Frank E. Smith, who was
the chairman of the day, was given
the closest attention throughout his
address Of welcome.
The audience sang the "Red, White
and Blue" after which Mrs. ]. H.
Atkins gave highly entertaining
reading, her subject being, "An Ode
for Decoration Day."
The Presbyterian choir rendered,
Sweet Be Their Sleep" in a most
impressive manner. Chairman Smith
then introduced the Hon. S. H. Hep
ner, Of Helena, as the orator of the
day. Mr.. Hepner's address, the
larger portion of which we print in
this article, was gem and was de
livered in the orators usual happy
manner.
Following the address, the Red
mems band rendered another selec>
ton, Loves Seminal" Miss Nellie
litter who is deservedly popular with
Lewistown people, was then intro
duced and sang 1Tenting Tonight" !"
Miss litter was at her best and the

another Big Mining
COMPANY ORGANIZED
GOLD LINKS, BACKED BY SUB
STANTIAL MEN, ENTERS
THE FIELD.

Articles of incorporation Of the
Gold Links Mining company, three
million dollar corporation, were filed
with the clerk and recorder last week
The incorporators are all we'll known
business men of this county, the list
numbering A. S. Wright, the we'll
known mining man; James B. FL
hot, one of the largest woolgrowers
in the state; R. Won Tobel, promi-
nent attorney of Lewisown; r. B.
Thompson, president of the Empire
Bank and Trust comapny; Frank
Stevens, the largest individual land
owner in the state of Montana; David
Hilger, president Of the First Ma
tional Bank and real estate man;
and c. E. Wright, practical mining
man of many years experience.
The property of the new company
comprises the Gold Links claim
which lies between the Barnes King
and North Moccasin, and the proper
ty of the Kendall Townsite COM
pany, Of which arrangements have
practically been closed to take over.
Sc, eral weeks ago work was begun
on a working shaft on the Gold
Links claim right uo within few
feet of the North Moccasin and
Barnes-King lines. The selection of
a site for this shaft was made easy
by the fact that both of the older
companies have developed immense
ore bodies right down to the Gold
Links line and to with a very short
distance of the course of the shaft
That the Gold Links shaft will tap
this ore body is an absolute certainty
and work is being pushed with all
possible haste to the point where this
ore body will be tapped
The shaft is already equipped with
as good hoist as could be secured
and there will be none of the usual
delays because of lack of the neces-
sary working machinery.
So absolutely certain are the men
behind the company that big mine
will be developed that tentative
order has been placed for the timbe,
and machinery necessary for the
erection of a mill.
Early in August the shaft will be
into the ore after which a greatly
increased force will be put on to de-
velop the body of ore. Just as quick
ly as the workings have been opened
up sufficiently to permit the hosting
of ore. the mill will be rushed to
completion and it is believed that be-
fore snow flies another big producer
will have been added to the list in
the Kendall district.

piece OF oratory a most intelligent
Interpretation.

America" and the Rev. J. A. Mar
tin delivered an impressive benedic-
ton TAPS" was then sounded and
the veterans left for the cemetery
where the usual services were held
at the graves Of the soldiers buried
there.
Mr.. Hepner's address was as fol-
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
1.-The graves Of all of the fallen dead
are green,
And eyes Of those who long lamented
these,
Their husbands and their sons, are
dim or closed.
The gaping seams Of nature and Of
hearts
Have kissed themselves together in
one sleep.
We later ones who heard not with
the sense
The outward cries Of anguish. hate
and rage,
Move quietly within our narrow
rounds,
And, pausing, hear traditions faint
report.
But one short generation since the
bombs,
Blood-sputtering, limb-raping, ramped
the field;
And yet we here, one kin, apparent
live,
Embosomed on one peace and to one
aim alive"
