WANTS PHOTOGRAPHS
Commissioner Of Labor and Agri-
culture Wants Views for "Mon-
tana Pamphlet.

The Record is in receipt of let
ter from J. II. Hall, commissioner
of the Bureau of Agriculture, Labor,
Industry and Publicity, in which he
asks the cooperation of all thoses
interested in the advancement Of
the state in the compilation of the
forthcoming Montana Pamphlet y
Mr.. Hall has experienced a great
amount of difficulty in procuring
suitable photographs for reproduc-
ton and it is in this view that he
makes the request. True to life
illustrations are Of exceptional
value in publicity work, and those
having interesting views should
be sure to send them in. The
Record will be glad to forward to
Mr.. Hall any photographs of agri-
cultural or mining scenes taken in
this vicinity.
Agricultural scenes are of special
value inasmuch as it is the farm
lands that it is hoped to make at
tractive to the prospective settler
over and above all other industries
Scenes Of plowing by use Of steam
plows; scenes Of crops. their harvest
and threshing which often occurs
on large scale, with the accom-
panying animals life which suggests
agriculture in action, ETC., are both
interesting and instructive. The
hauling OF products to market u.s.
ually also makes an entertaining
picture. Various views of mining
from mining localities are desirable
and, in instances. there are mis-
cellaneous views not here mentioned
that are acceptable and worthy of
reproduction for one reason or am
other.

Roundup with light and power is
without doubt one Of the best in
the state. The plant-boiler, engine
and dynamos-is housed under one
roof, the building, which is sheeted
with corrugated iron, being 75x75
feet in size. In the same building
is also the 25O-horsepower engine
used in hosting coal cars out Of
the mine. A 2,3OO-volt alternating
current dynamo is used to light the
city, and a 25O-volt direct current
machine to supply the mine with
power and light. Both of these
machines are driven by huge $50
horsepower Corless engine connect
ed with a monster 16-foot, 4O-inch
fly wheel. The plant is provided
with thoroughly up-to-date switch
board which automatically shuts
down in case Of break or short
circuit.
Anticipating a steady growth Of
the city, the capacity Of the plant
is much larger than is required at
the present time. There will be in
the neighborhood Of 1900 lights in
town to start with, while the capaci-
ty Of the plant is more than 5000.
I. J. Penn, chief electrician and
master mechanic of the company
had charge Of the installation OF

Clerks and Bar Tenders Play In
teresting Game Of Base Ball
Sunday.

One Of the most interesting base
ball games played here this year
was the one between the Clerks and
Bar Tenders of Roundup last Sun
day afternoon, and, while the par
ticipants are far from being profess
sionals, show nevertheless, that they
know a few things about the nation
al game. It had been partly under
stood that only five innings were to
be played, SO at the end Of the fifth
the "mixologists" claimed the game
by score of II to 10. For the
amusement of the spectators, how
ever, the remaining four innings
were played which proved disastr-
Gus to the victors of the first game,
the final score being % to Is in fav-
or of the counter jumpers, thus
dividing the honors.
A stiff gale was blowing and the
way the Knights OF the Bar took
advantage OF the breeze the first
three innings in sailing 'schooners
over the heads OF their opponents
was caution, scoring eleven runs
in the three times to bat. In the
second the clerks mooched' two
tallies on the enemy, and with the
realization that they were up against
something else than selling ribbon,
their Indifference OF the first part
Of the game changed into determine
ton and they began to sit up and
take notice They got started too
late however to win in the first
stretch.

RAn(Hti KILLED
Ward Phibbs Meets With Tragic
Death at Lewistown.

Lewistown Argus: While engaged
in building a root house at his ranch,
about twelve miles from town, Ward
Phibbs was last Thursday the VIC
tim of an accident that cost him
his life. He had gone inside the
cellar-like structure to put brace
under the center raftar when the
whole structure tumbled on him.
The weight of the earth and timbers
knocked him down and he was
buried under the falling debris.
In about thirty minutes after the
collapse of the root house, Phibbs'
mother, Mrs. Lavina Fitch, who
resides on the place, saw what had
happened and being unable to
locate her son. quickly concluded
that he was pinned under the reck
of the house. As soon as possible
the debris was cleared away and
the body taken out. Life was ex.
tinct. It is generally supposed thai
death resulted from suffocation, but
as a heavy timber fell across the
neck, it is just possible that the
neck was broken.
