GORDON FARM SOLD
At A GOOD FIGURE

C. C. Gordon of Antelope was in the
city on Friday attending to some bust
ness matters. Mr.. Gordon recently
sold his farm one and one-half miles

Coast during the winter or early spring.

THINGS have CHANGED
SINCE klHm LEFT

The Billings Gazette" The recent
hot wave must have seriously DAMAGED
the wheat crop of North Dakota, outside
of the Red river valley said Frank
Kihm. proprietor of the Commercial
hotel and a former resident of Dickin-
son. The wheat of North Dakota is
just in the milk or soft stage. and the
hot wind undoubtedly caused a great
deal of damage. The Montana Grain
is so far advanced that there was no
danger of it's being hurt by the wind.
I should think that the damage would
be sufficient in North Dakota to warrant
the price being boosted.
Is MI. Kihm a little our on this
country or what? No one here knows
of any hot winds. The country does not
have them any more since W old timer
moved to Montana.

AT OLD MILESTONE
ELkVllLE SUCCESS

Those who attended the state Elk
convention of Montana at Miles City
last week. say that the entertainment
furnished was the most unique of any
thing they had ever seen, and in this
connection it will interest readers to
see how the N. Y. Sun wrote up the
situation shortly before the convention.
The following are extracts from the
Sun report:
'.Aloneside the Tongue river they
are building a true copy OF the Miles
City of the '70s, when it raj one Of

secuted for Custer and who is said by
to be the only genuine sur
vivor on the side of the whites of that
battle. After the Indians at

be repulsed and driven through the main
street of Elkville-that's the name of
the rebuilt Milestown-and compelled
to jump from q high bank into the
Tongue river-paint. blankets, toma-
hawks and all.
If they could get Poker Nell here for
the roundup the local Elks would be
happy. But she has changed her line
now and won't come. Schma]sle and
John Carter and Jim Sipes and Jim
Coleman and 9th er Miles City men who
knew her in the '70s say they used to
think she would never do anything else
but run a gambling house. But the men
were mistaken. When the railroad
came into Miles City in 1881 she went
while her standing was good. She is
now in another state running a hotel.
1t will be hard for the visitor to
Miles City for the roundup who didn't
know old Milestown to realize that the
well behaved, prosperous appearing
city Of today grew out of such a begin
ming. But it grew from q smaller and
worse beginning. It was q tough place
a very tough place, old Mileatown.
Money was plentiful. considering. Fort
Keogh, abutting, had a full regiment
and the usual complement Of citizen
employees and camp followers made a
good payroll, to which were added the
earnings of a small army of government
contractors men, high salaried clerks
in the stores and the continuous contri-
button of the inevitable tenderfoot who
locked to Miles City.
The town was one of much cense-
quence. 1t doubtless harbored as many
hard characters as " have gathered
on the frontier. but-possib]y because
of the near presence of the soldiers
there was less of the IMAM for break

that period of pioneering. Society as
then constituted demanded it. Promi-

WASHINGTON LETTER
News From Our Busy Capital

Without question the republi-
can party has on its hands the
most stupenduous problem that
has confronted it for more than
a decade, the revision of the tar
iff. The hope has been pretty
generally expressed that the re-
vision may be accomplished with
out undue delay. However, fear
of the effect of delay should not
be permitted to prevent intelli-
gent discussion of the schedules
and therefore a real revision that
will satisfy public opinion. At
present it is impossible to know
anything on the subject and not
until the discussion has been TAX
en- up in the newspaper and by
the commercial bodies throughout
the country and until the Con-
gressmen begin to hear from their
constituents will the real public
opinion be known.

Ever since coinage was estab-
lished in this country the princi-
pal has been followed that the face
of a citizen should not appear on
the coins, and the recent decision
to substitute the portrait of Lin
coin for the Indian head on the
cent marks a decided failure
Washington refused the use of his
portrait on the coins of the United
States. The Senate favored plac-
ing the portrait of the President
on the silver dollar and many
busts were made of Washington
by the engravers in 1871 and 1872
But none were ever approved by
him and the head of Liberty was
finally adopted. The majority of
the early American statesmen re-
garded such use of portrait as a
monarchial practice.

At last the long neglected and
much despised Jersey pine is a
bout to come into its own. The
bureau of forestry has taken an
interest in it and has discovered
that it has great value as mater
ial from from which to make pa
per pulp. 1t seems that with a
slight change in the so-called
cooking process the pine yields an
excellent quality of pulp under
the sulphate process, which prac-
tical paper makers have pronounc-
ed to be a strong, long fbered and
hard wearing pulp, especially de-
sirable for making bags and news
and wrapping papers. This dis
covery will doubtless greatly en-
hance the value of the many thou
sands of acres covered with this
scrub growth.

There appears to be n hitch in the

the state provided an approximation

them sufficient farm land to supply
the needs Of the institution. even
if they had the money to buy There
has been talk OF locating the institu-
tion at some other point. even II they
so desired 1t is not likely that the
board would have the power to divert

week in November. The work of Sc
curing Accommodations for the visitors
has been we'll systematized. and prac
tically every private house in the city
will be open to the visitors. 1t is ex-
pected that the attedance will run as
high as eight or nine hundred. This is
the first meeting since the time was
changed from the Christmas HOLIDAYS
to November. and It is thought that
the change in time will attract many
people. Some eminent educators have
been secured for the meeting and spe-
cial trains and rates have been secur-
ed in the Hills so as to take the visi-
tors through the scenic part OF the
country during their visit.

William Hobart Hare was born In
Princetown, New Jersey, on May 18th.
1888.
His grandfather was Bishop Hobart
Of New York, and his father was the
Rev. George E. Hare, professor In the
Philadelphia Divinity school.
Bishop Hare was ordained deacon In
1859 and advanced to the priesthood
three years later. After holding two
cures in Philadelphia, he was appoint
ed secretary and general agent Of the
Foreign Committee Of the Missionary
Society in 1870
The following year he was nominal
ed by the House Of Bishops for the
Missionary Bishopric of Cape Palmas
West Africa but the nomination was
withdrawn on the representation Of
the lower house Of the General Con-
vention that his services were inva,u-
able in the office which he then held
In 1872 he was elected Missionary
Bishop Of Niobrara, that being the
name given TO a district In Dakota
and Nebraska chiefly occupied by In
dian tribes. The election was accept
ed and the Bishop was consecrated In
st. Lukes church, Philadelphia, on
January 9th, 1873, being next in the
line Of Bishops Of his father-inlaw
Bishop Howe, of Central Pennsylvania
In 1883 the boundaries OF Bishop
Hares jurisdiction were changed so as
to be identical with those of tie new
State of South Dakota, plus the Santee
Indian Reservation in Nebraska. AS
the same time, the name Of the dis
trict was changed from Niobrara to
South Dakota
The Bishop Immediately made Sioux
Falls his See City. and there built his
Cathedral and All Saints school. In
1891, and again in 1892, Bishop Hare
visited Japan as the accredited repre-
sentative of this church.
In the general convention he'd at
Boston in 1904, special legislation was
enacted making possible the ecti9n
of a Bishop Assistant to Bishop Hare
and the following year the Rev. Fred
erick p Johnson was elected to the o.
fee.
