will show that there has been a sub
stantial growth all over the territory
which Is covered BY this volume This
growth Is not confined to the towns
and cities by any means. 1t is as ap
parent in the country districts as in
the urban sections The directory con
tains nearly a thousand pages and Is
one of the largest issued by the Polk
people in the northwest. Based upon
the number Of names contained in
the Missoula directory, there are more
than twenty thousand people who re
COW" their mail through the local
postoffice. This is an Increase in two
y"ars-since the last previous directory
was issucd--of more than seven thou
sand. Hamilton shows similar
growth. 1t is gratifying to the friends
of western Montana Ia note these
substantial evidences of development
and Improvement. Especially is it
pleasing to find that there has been
growth in all sections Of this region.
1t Is the sort of growth that counts.

NEW GAME LAW.

The new game and fish law
goes into effect to day, July 1st.
Some of the most important
changes are the following:
n person who wants resident
hanting permit must make APP
plication in writing to the
County Auditor upon blanks
which the Auditor has on
hand. These applications must
be signed by the applicant and
one witness, who is free hold
er in the state. The application
must state the name and ad-
dress of applicant, age, weight,
height and color of hair and
eyes. The permit costs $1.OO
instead of 75 cents under the
old law.

The Times Office has lately
added considerable equipment
in the way of new press,
motor for power, and new type
for display adds and job work.
Perhaps never in the history
of the paper. which has been
published here for over thirty
years, has the plant been so
we'll equipped to do all kinds
of job work, as quickly and
neatly, as now.
There is a we'll assorted

OLD SETTLERS MEET
Richland County Old Settlers
Meet at Lidgerwood.

Meet at Lidgerwood.
The seventh annual meeting
of the Old Settlers Association
of Richland County was held
at Lidgerwood Thursday and
Friday "a 25 and proved one of
best attended aud most enthu-
siastic meetings of the many
held throughout the county
during the past six years. Ev-
erything that could be done to
make this meeting pleasant,
profitable and in every way a
success was attended to by the
progressive citizens of Lidger-
wood and the result was a large
increase in membership, in fact
the membership was increased
more at this meeting than at
any past meeting of the society
this was due in part to the ex.
tention of time at which men,
bers could be admitted, and
again to the special effort put
forth by the committee IN
charge of this part of the pro-
gram-and resident citizens of
Lidgerwood. All in all it was
delightful gathering, and much
credit is due the citizens of
Lidg rwood for their kindness
toward the "old timers" of this
county.
The first days session was
given during the fornoon to
taking in new members and
getting acquainted; free dinner
was served the members by
the citizens of Lidgerwood at
the Merchants hotel. At 1 80
the first session was called by
President Carter; after few
choice selections by the Lidger-
wood band the president an
nounced the purpose of the
gathering and was followed by
Mayor Parsons in a neat ad-
dress of welcome who made it
plain to the Old Settlers that
Lidgerwood and all its belong
ings was theirs during the two
days session; Geo. Van Arnam
replied to the welcome address
and was followed by NJ. Lynch,
H. G. N. Myhre and c. G. My hre
each giving nice talks. Ice
cream and lemonade was serv
ed free to the Old Settlers in
the basement of the new Bo
hemian hall where the exer-
cises were held. The balance
of the day was spent in witness
sing the ball game and vie wing
the many attractive features in
and around the city.
The session Friday was con-
vened at 1890, Presi dent Car
ter presiding; a committee on
resolutions and also OH obitu-
aries and biographies of men,
bers was appointed by the
chair with instructions to re-
port at the afternoon meeting.
After some preliminary work
the following officers were un-
animously elected for the en-.
suing year: President, w. NJ.

Notice was given at the
morning session that the Old
Settlers would be given an
automobile ride, tarting
promptly at one o'clock-and
agreeable to this promise about
twenty-five autos were lined up
and the "old timers" given a
nice ride through the city and

Abundant rains have clothed

at the number of people which
Richland County has contribu-
ted to the government and in

another travelling man making
Bismarck his home. Mr.. Was.

Basket Ball Teams.

The High school and Penn college
students are practicing hard in order
to get in shape for the basket ball
season which is the game that is
drawing the attention now. Both
schools will be represented well on
the floor this year, as both schools
have experienced material to work
with. The girls of the High school
are making an effort TO organize and
it is possible that Oskaloosa will be
permitted to witness some games be-
tween the feminine sex. Oskaloosa
college is also making a strong effort
to have team this year, but with all
new material nothing much can be
done. 1t is not possible that the Y.
NJ. c. A. will have senior team this
year to compete wit hteams from out
of-town, but will organize for the local
league. Prospects may look better
later in the season.

Street Car Service on East Line
Delayed Five Hours.

The Traction and Light Company
experienced much trouble Saturday
afternoon in keeping the street cars
moving. The rain froze sufficiently
to coat the trolley wires and make the
tracks slippery. About five o'clock in
the afternoon the trolley wire broke
in two places, at the northwest and
northeast corners OF the square. Ow-
ing to the miserable conditions pre-
vailing repairs were necessarily slow.
To add to the troubles the old box
elder tree that has stood for many
years on the ragged edge OF the OPP
penheimer property, was rent asunder
by the weight of the sleet and half OF
it fell into the street, dragging the
trolley wire down. The wire was not
broken, however so as soon as the
pressure was relieved and the road
bed cleared the cars could resume.
1t was ten o'clock, however, before
the cars were running.
