OF the new coast extension of
the c. NJ. Il st. P. and the many
opportunities to be found in the
newly opened territory, must either
be blind or not able to read. An
other feature of the advertising cam
paign, and one which has made Il
decided hit. is the advertising car
containing samples Of products
grown in Montana. which has made
an extensive tour of the eastern
states.
Railroad officials in Roundup
this week stated that never in the
history OF railroad building have
there been 50 many inquiries con-
cerning a newly opened country as
there have been in connection with
the new coast extension. The in
quiries have come from every state
in the union, and fully two-thirds
asked about Montana. Taking the
interest thus manifested in the Trea-
sure State as a criterion, it is safe
to say that the influx of homeseek-
ers and investors the coming spring
and summer will be unprecedented
in the history of the state. And
Roundup-the Miracle Of the
Musselshell-being one OF the best
advertised cities on this line OF
road as well as in the state, will get
its share of newcomers.

DISCUSS IN

Citizens in Mass Meeting
Talk Over lncorpora-
tion Proposition
THINGS LOOKING FAVORABLE
Committee Appointed to Confer
With Opposition to Reach
Agreement.

by the Commercial Club a mass
meeting of the citizens of Roundup
was held in the Pioneer Hall Mon
day afternoon for the purpose Of
discussing pro and con the question
Of the incorporation of Roundup.
The band turned out to arouse en-
thu siasm and succeeded in getting
out a large crowd to attend the
meeting.
President Appleman of the Com
mercial Club presided, and after
stating the purpose Of the meeting,
called upon w. w. Taylor, general
superintendent of the Republic
mines, who was present, for his
views upon the matter in question.
MIR. Taylor made splendid speech
in favor of the incorporation of the
city, showing in very convincing
manner the many advanta ges to be
derived by such move. Altho a
nonresident, he represents heavy
interests here, and is therefore de-
sirous of seeing Roundup prosper.
Among other things he brought for
ward the argument that, in view Of
the fact that heavy immigration
Of investors and homeseekers is ex-
pected out here this spring and sum-
mer, it would be in the nature of a
boost and aid in having these people
locate to be able to show an organ
lied government. Roundup, he said
is getting out of its baby clothes,
and above all things is in dire need
of a city government SO that NUM-
cipal improvements could be
brought about and the city made to
look at its best. Mr.. Taylor's talk
was well received.
J. I. Griedley, secretary Of the
Roundup Coal Mining Co., followed
Mr.. Taylor, and also gave con-
vincing talk. His company is put
ting in an electric light plant here
and have already expended a large
sum for machinery in that connec-
tion upon the assurance given them
by the majority Of the business men
and citizens of Roundup that they
would use their influence in seeing
that the company be granted fran
chies as soon as the city was incor-
porated.. Roundup, a city hardly a
year old, is extremely fortunate in
having this company install an elec.
trio plant under these conditions as
the only one taking chance to
lose is the coal company. Mr..
Griedley argued that, altho his
company has seen fit to go ahead
in providing Roundup with a power
plant, it was hardly likely that any
one would want to invest money il
say system of water works under
like conditions. They would be
sure to await the time when the
city was incorporated and were
granted franchise before undertak
ing such an enterprise. He gave ou
the information that eastern parties

water plant at this place, and were
} only waiting to see how the election
for incorporation was coming out
If the proposition carries it is no
improbable that they will imme
diatly make Roundup proposition
to put in water system.
After Mr.. Griedley's talk, Chair
man Appleman called upon every
body present to give his views OF

were returned by the grand jury late
yesterday afternoon, making a total
of nine indictments for the first two
days of work by the jury. All eight

report was made. Five of them
pleaded guilty, four were sentenced
to serve terms in the penitentiary, one
was sentenced today. another was
fined today, three have been given
time in which to plead, and another

Clarence C. >Frownfelter the pick
pocket entered a plea of guilty to
the charge of larceny from the per-
son, but asked for a two days re-
spite before receiving his sentence.
Frank Day. indicted for forgery,
was given until today to secure an
attorney. This morning he entered a
plea of guilty, waved time for the
passing of sentence and was given
two years in the penitentiary.
Before passing sentence Judge Bean
asked the prisoner IL he thought he
should have been arralgned in the
Juvenile or circuit court. Day re-
sponded that he did not know.
Day had already served one term in
the penitentiary, he having been
found guilty of stealing wool a few
years ago. He was paroled at that
time, but broke his parole and was
taken to the state prison. In refer
ring to that instance this morning,
the Judge asked him how he liked
il down at Salem. Day said he got
along all right while there, but that
he was not longing to go back.
Edgar Smith, also indicted yester-
day, but whose name was withheld
because he was not under arrest, was
araigned this morning. He pleaded
guilty to the charge of larceny by
bailee and was fined $50. Smith had
been given a $40 gold piece by a
friend and sent out to get the change,
but failed to return.

dicted on the charge of relieving
Peter Willets of $50, while the latter

Two country districts. adjoining

levied no special district tax during
the past three years. One of them

Milton school district has district

levy a special average tax for the past
three years of 4 2-3 mills to maintain
a nine months school and pay its
teachers an average salar yof s59.4S.
One adjoining country district has
a property valuation more than three
times as great as that of Milton in
accordance with the number of teach
ers employed. while another has al
most twice as much. Neither of these

salary paid was $40 and S45 respect

The above are the facts presented
to the county court by the county
school superintendent and they are
the reasons which induced the court
to announce that next year a higher
county levy would be made The
city districts will especially profit by
the new system as will also a larger
per centage of the country districts.
These facts show that the burden
of the school system of the county is
not being borne proportionately and
that the system which Is to be in
augurated will have a tendency to
equalize this burned TO a very great
extent.
AS further evidence of what the
new plan will do, the following data
relative to the Is largest districts of
the county, educating 10 per cent of
the children of the county, has been
prepared by County Schol Superin-
tendent Welles. The first column

would be raised for each district If a

ed This Evening.

Guy Hayes, Jointly indicted with
Melvin Buck, on the charge of steal
ing cattle from Mitchell Lloyd, the
well known Indian. is on trial in the
circuit court today. The jury was
secured shortly before noon, the state
rested its case about 2:30 this after
noon and it is expected that the fate
OF the broncho buster will be in the
hands of the jury before night.
Buck was tried and found guilty
but has not yet been sentenced. While
confined in the county Jail it is al
legged that he stole some clothing be-
longing to a fellow prisoner and it is
possible that he will be indicted and
tried on that charge before receiving
his sentence for cattle stealing.
No additional indictments were re-
turned by the grand jury today. Dis
trict Attorney Phelps being busy in
court the members of the jury made
the regular inspection trip to the
poor farm. It is expected that the

MAUI PASSES AWAY.
Mrs. Louis Won Tempsky of
Makawao, Maui, is dead. This
sad news was received yesterday
by wireless, which however, did
not state the details of her sudden
death.
Mrs. Won Tempsky was we'll
known throughout the islands.
She was we'll liked by all the
Mauians. She was formerly Miss
Amy Wodehouse, the eldest
daughter of Major Wodehouse,
British Minister to Hawaii under
the monarchy. The news of her
death came as a sudden shock to
many of her friends, who were
not aware of her illness. 1t was
generally expected that she, ac-
companied by her two daughters,
would visit Honolulu this week.
To mourn their loss, she leaves
a husband, manager of the Hale
akala ranch; three brothers,
Ernest Wodehouse, of Davies &
Co.; Hay Wodehouse, of Hunt
ula Ranch; Guy Wodehouse, now
in Chile, and four children, three
daughters and a son.
