f1cers Of the lodge in the state. It is
possible that Judge Milburn of Miles

sion. Short speeches will probably
be made by other members Of the To-
cal lodge.
The new building will be SO feet in
width and 40 feet in length. It adj

BE Produced Again Tonight.

The prettiest and best drilled cho-
rus assisted what was easily the best
amateur cast that has ever been seen
in Billings in making "The Witch Of
the Woods produced at the Babcock
theater last night, not only the theat-
rical treat Of the season, but the best
thing that has ever been staged in
this city. The extravaganza was pro
duced under the auspices Of st. Luke's!
church and under the direction Of
Mrs. Purdy Smith. whose ability in
this line was attested by the hearty
appreciation, shown by a crowded
house.
Columns could be devoted by =
conscientious critic to the merits Of
.'The Witch Of the Woods" as pro
duced last night, yet in the end he
would feel that he left some appeal
ing feature undescribed and would
more than ever feel a paucity Of de-
scriptive words.
Abundance Of action, lines that
buble over with wit and the most
tuneful Of catchy music describe the
piece itself, while the work Of those
who took part in 1t was Of the high
est professional order. That the c0s
tunes were selected with are is evil
denced by their appropriateness.
Renwick ls Hit.
Bruce Renwick as Ketchuppo, the
1cannibal king, made an even greater
reputation last night as a musical
comedy principal than v g j. r..

Geo. Hays and Hans Mendelson, who
took the part part Of chief of robbers
yesterday 0 o owing to the indisp0-
sition Of Clifford Helgehon, interpre-
ted their parts in q manner that met
with appreciation and was above crit;
icism.
Miss Winnie Burton, Mrs. Hansard
and Mrs. Harry Wright carried the
principal female roles in a way that
showed effects Of hard study and
careful Interpretation. Other mem
bers Of the cast did equally as well.
The Spanish dance given BY Mrs.
Hansard, who played the part Of senoS
rita Otero was one Of the features Of
the production which is especially
worthy Of mention.
"The Witch of the Woods" with the
same cast and chorus will be- 10
produced again tonight.

LOCAL RECRUITING OFFICER
TELLS ABOUT SERVICE.
IS POPULAR
Western Boys Prefer Mounted Work.
Coast Artillery Provides Good OPP
portunIty for Learning Mechanics.
Better Salaries.

"Uncle Sans army seems to be q
very popular organization these days
judging by the numerous applicants
for admission into the SERVICE" said
Local Recruiting Officer Small yes
terday to a representative OF The
Gazette. Recruits for the various
branches OF the service have been
sent in considerable numbers from
Billings during the past winter, this
city having the distinction of supply
ing more recruits than any other one
In the state. In discussing the re-
cruiting department with which he
has been associated for some time,
Mr.. Small said:
Larger Salaries.
Recent enlarged appropriations by
congress for the increasing Of enlist
ed mems salaries will have a great
deal to do in filling up the depleted
ranks in the various departments OF
the military service Of the govern.
ment. Because Of the comparatively
small pay that has heretofore been
received by enlisted men 1t has been
a pretty hard task to get enough men
to fill up the ranks to the full mum
Der authorized by congress, but from
now on, however, it will be much
easier. The life Of a soldier is not
a very hard one, food Of the best
quality is supplied by the govern
ment and the clothing and genera
equipment is equal to that supplied
BY any foreign nation to its sol
diers.
Ranks Filling Up.
Speaking of the present condition
LOT the army MI. Small remarked
while the number of soldiers in thu
regular army has been far below tn
total force of $4,000 which is regard
ed as the maximum force in time o
peace, there has been a material in
crease this spring in all branches o
the army, some of which are now Vi
to the authorized number. The cav
airy and field artillery are filled AM
almost all the recruits now receive,
are assigned to the infantry AM
coast artillery divisions.
In answer as to which branch /
the most remunerative, he said, "Sal
aries are practically the same in ey
cry department. Fifteen dollars !
paid now. to nearly all new men II
stead Of $13, which has been tn
salary received up until this spring
think that an ambitious man ca
get more out of. the coast artiller
than any other branch because b
has an opportunity to study machir
cry OF every description. He ca
learn about electricity and BY PROF
erly applying himself can be a frs
class electrician or engineer by tn
time his enlistment expires. The chic
objection to the coast artillery by
young man is that he dislikes bein
assigned to one station for an
length OF time.
For the western boys the cavalr
is very popular as they are horsebac
most Of the time and being more Il
miliar with the care of horses the
turn out to be the best cavalrymen.

 The Famous Actors Tastes May Be
 Capitalized to the Advantage of
 Phoenix.
 MT Harry Leighton. who plays the part of The Devil at the Ell<s theater tonight is having the time of his life in the west this year. To make an actor really happy it is necessary that the business that the company is play ing to should be big, and as this has been the case with him ever since he has been en tour he has entered into all the joys that this glorious country holds. Every nook of every town in which he plays, he ferrets out on horseback, and not point of interest does he miss if there is any way that - he may reach it and be back on time for the curtain. In fact he has caused the management several scares by ar irving at the stage door as the over ture was being rung in, and the stage manager says that he will welcome the end of the seaesOn, if he does not break down before that with nervous prOstration.
 When Mir. Leighton starts out today to look over Phoenix he will have his hands and his horse full, for no man can see Phoenix and vicinity in all their glory in tWenty-fOur hours. That he will go away from here filled to the brim with wonderful tales of the chances of a fortune that are within the reach of any one that comes here, goes without saying. He will be filled with the wealth that offers in the os- trich industry. in cotton. in beets. in sheep and, above all, in the orange groves. No one more than an actor can realize the value of an early mar ket, for the travels everywhere, and hears all kinds and conditions of man talk. And to really advertise a place there is no one that is more valuable than an actor of standing
 Mir. Leighton is a member of the Lambs club in New York and also of the Players. He is put up at all the good clubs all over the country and in meeting the best people of these and holding forth on the beauties of the Salt River Valley he will do more good than all the printed matter that could be sent out. He has come in the most fragrant time of the year. with all the bushes laden with their roses and the groves with their golden fruit. In the open he should be given a welcome that will fill all his senses welcome in the Elks' theater that will tell him that Phoenix is rich in pocket, as well as in nature.
