Notes of Interest.

Kendall, Mont, Dec. l3.-Under

Lewistown Friday to serve papers on
a large number Of Kendall citizens on
a charge Of gambling. These arrests
were general, and are said to have
been the same over the entire coun-
try. This may be true, but it is no
ticeable fact that Lewistown citizens,
arrested on similar charge, are con-
spicuous by their absence. and II
seems fair to assume that Kendall has
received sisterly love pat from Lew
istown. No doubt the county authori-
ties hope to derive no little revenue
from this source, hence the arrests
made on payday, for, when the fac
that the complaint was filed early in
October, and the arrests followed or

surdity of the situation becomes ap

Passenger and immigration Agents of
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul On
Tour of Inspection.
SEEKING INFORMATION
Party Of Sixteen Getting Acquainted
With Conditions Along Pacific
Coast Extension.

Sixteen passenger and immigration
agents of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railroad company arrived in
this city last Tuesday evening on a
special train, departing the next
morning for points farther west on
their line. The officials came out to
look over the country traversed by
the Pacific coast extension and to get
acquainted with the people and con-
ditions which prevail.
Informal Reception.
After taking dinner at the Bright
hotel, the visitors were taken to the
Judith club where they met a large
number of business men of the city.
1t did not take them long to ascertain
many interesting facts relative to the
Judith Basin and Lewistown. Some
of the railroad men said that George
Haynes had told them so much about
this particular section of country that
they were very desirous of seeing for
themselves whether or not he was
"stringing" them. After looking
around and talkinf with local rest
dents, they were all convinced thar
George was giving them only the
straight goods.
Mr.. Haynes, who was acting as
guide for the party, stated to the
Democrat that the Milwaukee will
wage an energetic advertising cam,
paign in behalf of the Judith Basin
this winter. The exhibit car is now
being shown through the middle MOI
thern states and large quantities OF
literature will be printed and dis
tributed. He says that the rush OF
hom and investors during the
past year will sink into insignihcence
compared to- the large number who
will come during the coming year.
Those who comprised the party
Tuesday night are as follows:
Mr.. Geo. B. Haynes, immigration
Agent, Chicago, III: Mr.. c. C. Nor
dough, Travelling Passenger Agent
