ODD FELLOWS
ENTERTAIN
Local Lodge Give Entertainment
and Feast Monday
Evening.

If there is any lodge or organiza-
tiOn that can entertain on a big scale
to better advantage than the local
order of Odd Fellows and Rebekas,
then the people of Harlowton must
need be shown. Last Monday even
ing the Odd Fellows and Ladies of
the Rebekah demonstrated their abili-
ty to entertain in wholesale man
ner. A program and feast had been
prepared and large number of guests
invited
Headed by the band the two orders
marched to the HarlOwton opera
house, where the program was given.
Mr.. A. T. Anderson in character
istic address outlined the work of the
Odd Fellows, and spoke in glowing
terms of what the lodge had done in
the way of looking after it's members
and taking care of suffering widows
and orphans. He gave an idea of
the progress made by the local order,
and expressed wish that the citizens
of Harlowton would heartily cooper
ate with the order as far as possible
in carrying on the WORK. Mr. Ander-
son stated that the entertainment
and supper had an object, which was
to increase the membership of the
lodge. He said that campaign had
been started to get 100 new members
by the lst of January, 1910. A cho-
rus of mixed voices chosen from both
lodges sang several odes. Miss Davies
spoke entertainingly on the subject
of woman'S rights, her effort was
greeted with hearty round of ap-
plause.
After the program i'm the hall the
guests were taken to the Urner Cafe
where splendid banquet had been
prepared Here between one hun
dred and fifty and two hundred peo-
pie were fed on the best of land.
The guests went home pleased with
whole souled manner in which the
lodges had conducted the entertain
ment.
While the second table was feasting,
the dancing spirit took possession of
the crowd and all repaired to the hall
again. 1t was not intended to have a
dance, but the demand was SO vigor-
our, that it could not be restrained.
For two hours the dance continued
and many say it was the jolliest time
they have had this year. All admit
that the Odd Fellows and the Rebe-
kahs can entertain to queens taste.

we do this believing that it is

settling here should, with industry
and intelligence, prosper to a high

These gentlemen stand high within
the councils Of the church, and their
good opinion of this section will re-
suit in the colonization of a large
number here. 1t is expected that
another party from other parts of
Ohio will arrive this week to make a
personal inspection on behalf of their
neighbors.
Messrs. Dickey, Kelley and Miller
witnessed the turning of the water
from Sweet Grass creek into the big
intake ditch last Monday. In keep
ing with the Importance of the occa-
sion Elder II. Dickey invoked the Di-
vine blessing for the success of the
big PROJECT. According to one of the
witnesses sit was a simple ceremony
but most impressive one Stretch
ing away for miles in all directions
from where the builders of the pro-
Ject and the elders were standing
were untold acres of rich land which
had never been titled by the hand of
man. And as Elder Dickey uttered
this benediction a vision of the future
OF this land, cultivated, fenced, hous-
ed, dotted with homes and school
houses, was conjured up in the minds
of his auditors"

FIRST TRAIN THRU
The Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget
Sound Road From Seattle to
Missoula Has Test.

The first train has passed over the
Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound
road from Seattle to Missoula. The
train arriving in Missoula Sunday
evening carried Chief Engineer Pear
son and Superintendent Harding of
the department of bridges and build
ings, and with exception of a few
stops for inspection, the train ran
clear through from the coast. The
inspecting party left Seattle Sunday
morning, made stops at North Fork,
Idaho, and Taft, Montana and other
points reaching the garden city early
Sunday evening.
"It was very pleasant trip, "said
Mr.. Pearson. We had a few delays
and could have made good schedule
time If we had not done so much in
spection work. Conditions are good
all along the line. In a fortnight we
shall be able to start mixed train OF
freight and construction material be-
tween the foot of the Bitter Root
mountains on the west side and Seat
tie; this will be every-other-day
service for the first few weeks but it
will be regular. In three or four
weeks we shall be able to have the
same service on this side.
"The western divisions have been
named. From Deer Lodge 20 North
Fork will be the Missoula division;
| next will come the Columbia division
and then the coast division. All
along this part of the line Mr.. Hard.
ing's department is busily engaged in
constructing the necessary buildings,
putting in permanent bridges and
giving the tunnels their permanent
Innings. The last part of the work is
nearly finished; the tunnels on this
division with one or two exceptions
have their permanent Innings that
will last longer than we will. The
stations and section houses and other
structures that are needed are being
erected as fast as possible.
"East of Missoula we are awaiting
the Northern Pacitic's movements in
vacating parts of the old line which
conflict with ours. This is being done
now; the heaviest work that we have
to do is at He'll Gate, and there the
Northern Pacific people are getting
out of the way as fast as possible. II
will be but short time now before
we are clear east as well as west"

Woods later made his escape, but
was arrested at Roundup and brought
back for trial. The four were ar

that they had drank some Of the
beer, bat none knew anything about
the theft, at least that Was the evi-

The large Cary Act land project
north of Big Timber is to be settled
by colony of the Church of Bretherr
or "Dundards" as they are usually
called. This information was giver
out by the Glass-J Johnson Land Com
pany of Big Timber, the company
that is responsible for the reclama
tion of this large tract of fertile soil.
There have been several prominent
leaders of the church looking over
the ground lately among whom are
L. H. Dicke, J. B. Kelley and A. B.
Miller of Ohio and Indiana. After
inspecting the project they entered
into negotiations with the land COM
pany, and telegraphed their friends
at home that the prospects exceeded
their most sanguine expectations.
These gentlemen were representing a
large number of .'Dunkards', and it
was their duty to inspect the land
and then report on the conditions.
The following telegram was sent to
f. w. Hart of Columbia City, India
ma is an indication of what their de-
tailed report will be, "We heartily

A Good Program.

A. E. Tubbs was here again We'd
nesdav night with good moving pic
ture show which pleased large and
appreciative audience. The feature
of the program was a series of Civil
War scenes entitled "Stirring DAYS
in Virginia" this picture was pro-
nounced by many as the best they
had ever seen. The interesting part
of the picture was the manner in
which the horses were trained to drop
down while on full gallop and their
riders often falling beside them. The
characters of Lincoln in his recon-
struction speech, and Grant and Lee
at the surrender were well taken and
made the picture very realistic.
Mr.. Tubbs had many other was one
esting pictures among which inter.
entitled "Charlotte Corday" which
pictured the French heroine as she
murdered Murat. Each of the per.
formances are interesting, since Mr.
Tubbs brings those reels that have
been used at the BijOu and Lyric the
week before, he people can always
get their moneys worth. He an
nounced that he would be here agair
next Wednesday night.

NO MORE JAW BONE
Old Tracks are lifted in a Hurry Will
Aid the Appearance Of
the Town

AS far as HarloWtOn is concerned
there is no more "Jaw Bone" road
as the Montana Central was generally
called. A work train carrying about
$50 Bulgarians was side tracked on
the old line running through town on
Sunday, and Immediately work began
in tearing up the track that had not
been in use for some time.
The gang first began by tearing
down the old depot which was loaded
on fiat cars, larger crew was put to
work on the old stock yards and the
tracks west. The rails were placed
on fiat cars, and all the ties that
could be used again were gathered up,
those that were more or less rotten
were left behind. 1t is rumored that
Len Weber has purchased these ties
ties for fuel in his brick kiln.
By Tuesday noon the entire line
running through town was torn up
and loaded on cars as far as the line
which runs to Lewistown. The sight
of the engine and cars on the old track
brought many recollections to those
who lived here before the advent of
the Milwaukee. But all were glad to
see the tracks go, as it adds greatly
to the appearance of the town. When
the ties have been picked up, the last
vestage of the old. Jaw Bone" vii
have disappeared.

MEETING MONDAY
Musselshell Valley Business Mems AS
sociation Meet to Discuss Fourth
of July Celeration.

After an adjournment of nearly
four week the Musselshell Valley
Business Mems Association will again
convene on Monday night, May 3rd
in the Urner Hall. Several matters
of interest will come up for discus
sion and will likely be determined.
One of the propositions that needs
attention is the question, "Shall we
celebrate the Fourth of July in Har-
lowton?" Many are in favor of hav-
ing celebration that will be men,
orable, others believe if LewiStown,
Roundup and Judith Gap are going
to celebrate this year it is better for
Harlowton to wait for another year.
The larger number appear to be in
favor of a local celebration, thereby
keeping the money at acme, patron
izing local Establishments, and adver-
tising the town to that extent. There
will be plenty room for discussion
Monday night on this proposition and
it is hoped that the business men will
turn out to the man and express his
views.
Another question will come up for
consideration is whether civic hOl-
liday will be given in the near future
for the purpose of cleaning up the
city and making the town look more
citihed. The large amount of tin-cans
rubbish, and other litter than is now
lying on the vacant lots and back al
leys, is an eye sore, and is not the
best advertisement for the town. The
business men are beginning to see
this, and several have expressed de-
sire that some step be taken to re-
medy this condition. 1t has been
suggested that day be set apart in
the near future as a public holiday,
