Moccasin Miners Union No. Ill, w.
F. NJ, will celebrate Miners Union
day in Kendall as has been its cuS
tom for number of years. The cele-
bration will last two days, June 18th

made to make this celebration the
best ever. The committee on arrange
ments is hand at work and in a few
days the program of sports, ETC., will
be ready for the public. The union
has decided to depart from the usual
plan and will hold its celebration out
of town, the place to be announced
later. The usual drilling contests,
base ball game and races will be fea-
lures of the day. and big gun shoot
is being prepared. Refreshment

that the crowd may be taken care of

residents of the neighboring towns
and to those residents in the country,
to help make those days merry ones,
is most cordially extended. Messrs.

SUBSCRIBING
LITERALLY
Lewistown Business Men Digging Up
Handsomely for the Big Cele-
bration.
INTERESTING PROGRAM
Large List of Entertaining Features
Are Being Worked Up BY the
Committees.

The finance committee for the
Fourth Of July celebration were
around town last week seeking sub
scriptions to the fund which it is
necessary to raise in order to insure
some high class entertainment fea-
lures on the glarious holiday.
Dig Up Literally.
The committee had no difficulty in
getting the business men to dig up
literally as all realize that an attrac-
tive program will bring thousands of
people to the city on the fourth or
rather the fifth since the holiday falls
on Sunday this year. The committee
think that they will be able to raise
close to $1,000 and with this sum,
something fine in the way of enter
tanning and interesting features can
be gotten.
Substantial prizes will be offered to
tn winners in the numerous sporting
events. Among other things, there
will be base ball game between the
crack Lewistown team and the strong,
est aggregation from the outside that
it is possible to bring to the city.
Chairman Harry Yaeger informs the
Democrat that the program is now
being worked out and will be publish
ed within few days. He assures us
thtt there will be large number OF
events which will serve to attract
the multitudes. 1t is expected that
excursion trains will be run from as
far down the road as Twodot and
from up and down the Billings Nor
thern.

Harlowton Team Comes in But
Snow Necessitates Postponement
of Contest.
PLAY NEXT SUNDAY
Meagher County Players Will Come
Again to Try Luck With Fast
Local Team.

While Red Johnson, Carl Hagelson
and AL Houseworth are fine and
dandy little base ball managers as
shown by the crack bunch Of players
whom they have correled, they were
compelled to acknowledge defeat their
first time out. But it was not the
chesty bunch from Harlowton, nor
even the scintillent aggregation from
Moore that humblcd them but COM
bination nine put in, or rather on, the
field by old man Boreas and the ever
active Jupiter Pluvius.
Harlow Team in Town.
The weather opened fairly nice Sun
day morning and it did not commence
to storm until the Harlow boys who
were 10 play here, were on the road
By the time they got here, it was
precipltating SO severely that ball
playing was out Of the question.
The fans of Lcwistown are anxious
to see their new team perform. The
managcmnt have certainly gotten to-
gether a classy bunch. Moe is the
catcher; Friedlien and Carleton, pitch
crs; Haasch, first base; Shaffcr, sec
ond; Willard, short; Slater, third and
Tom Baker, Hottie and Sweeney in
the outer pasture. They are well
supplied with substitutes in the per-
some of Dick Baker, spot" Woodard
and several other local players.
Game Next Sunday.
With favorable weather, the Harlow
bunch will be here again next Sunday
to play the postponed game. They
have classy bunch of performers
down in the Meaghcr county city and
the game should call out big crowd
of rooters.

Fine Showing Is Made BY Athletes
and Declaimer at Interscholastic
Meet.
COLLINS IS THE star
Big Fellow From Local Institution
Is One of the Best Individual
Men in Contest.

The Fergus county students made
a most crditable showing at the in
terscholastic meet which was held
last week in Missoula. With but four
men on the team, the school won
fourth place in the athletic events
and only bit of hard luck kept them
from getting yet higher position
Miss Funk Does Finely.
Annabelle Funk who represented
the local institution in the declama-
tory contest won fourth place and
there was but a small margin between
her markings and those of the
winners.
Athletes Up Among Leaders.
With but four men, the smallest
team sent by any of the schools, it
was not thought by the other
schools that Fergus would do much
but the events had not gone far be-
fore the boys from the Inland En-
pire demonstrated that what they
lacked in numbers, they made up in
prowess. The first day, Collins OF
the locals won first place in the shot
put and second in the discus. He
went out the next day and got a good
third in the hammer throw. 1t is
likely that the big fellow would have
led his field in the hammer had he been
able to do some more training before
leaving home. He was second only
to Bickford of Park for individual
honors.

ELECTRIC FRANCHISE.
GAS FRANCHISE.

By an overwhelming vote, the free
holders Of the city of Lewistown yes
terday granted to S. w. Gebo, owner
OF the Spring Creek coal mine, fran
chises for the operation of electric
and gas plants in this city for a period
OF twenty years. In view of the
hard fight put up against the fran
chises, the result was most gratifying
to Mr. Gebo and those associated
with him in the undertaking.
Large Registration.
The great interest which was
manifested in the granting Of the pro-
posed franchises was shown by the
unusually large registration which
went to the 800 mark. Of this num-
Der, fully one hundred were ladies and
the members of the fair sex exhibited
quite as much interest as did the male
freeholders. OF those who registered
over two hundred and fifty voted.
Many were challenged and thus not
permitted to vote while the very in
clement weather doubtless kept a
large number away from the polls.
Mr.. Bright had his automobile taking
voters to the polls and Mr.. Gebo had
number of hacks placed at the dis
posal of his supporters. The contest
was entirely good natured throughout
and the losers take their defeat with
the best of grace.
Hold Mass Meeting.
A big mass meeting was held in
the district court room Saturday even
ing to permit those interested and the
citizens generally to discuss the
merits of the two sides. Judge
Cheadle, at whose suggestion the
Meeting was called, opened the meet
ing and Arthur Stoddand was named
as chairman. Although there was ap-
parently little use for such an official,
Tom Stout was chosen secretary.
Judge Cheadle, upon the invitation
of the chairman, delivered the first
address and presented the matter for
discussion in a fair and impartial
manner. He stated that while the
Citizens Electric company is deserv-

scholastic record for the 100 yard
event. The reputation of the school
was upheld this year by Johnson who
qualified in the preliminaries in the
fast time Of 10 3-5 seconds. In the
finals young Johnson got third place
which brought the total number of
points won by Fergus up to IL and
giving them fourth place in the
meet.
Hard Luck for Ivins.
Leo WINS who took part in the
high and broad jumps had some hard
luck and did not do himself justice
especially in the broad jump. Had Leo
done as well in the trials as he has
done scores of times here at home
in practice, he would have been a
point winner. In the high he did
well, getting fourth place but no
points. Frank Wright was up against
the mighty Crum in the long runs
and also failed to land within the
points.
TO indicate just how close the Fer
gus county were coming, it might be
stated that none Of them were farther
back than fourth place in any Of the
events in which they were entered.
This was the case in the relay race
as well as the other events.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The only thing of consequence done in
the bond list at todays meeting of the
stock exchange were changes made in the
figures in some cases which indicated a
desire to buy and to pay higher prices.
The bid for the ) per cent bonds of the
Anacostia and Potomac Railway Company
advanced from 1O1, which was yesterday 8
figure, to 1O21s, and the bid for the City
and Suburban Railway Company's bonds
went from 1O3ss to 104, but there were no
sales and no offerings of the bonds.
The price for the latter, Of course, in
cluded the half yearly interest which is
due next month, but generally speaking
the advance in both instances is only in
keeping with the movement in that direc-
ton. which has been in progress for
some time and is looked upon as due to
the improvement in the business OF both
of the companies arising from the in
creased patronage of those lines.
Such improvement in the business, out
look of these two subsidiary companies
of the Washington Railway and Electric
ket course Of the securities of the other
companies as well as those of the present
company.
At the present time the securities Of
TIE especially I1e STOCK. are ol
the upward course. and this tendency
was shown also in the bonds OF the
company. The bid for them advanced
from sS to ssh. and one of the brokers
bid SIS for any part of $4,000.
The common stock sold today as high
as 42b. which is the best recent level
reached. and odd lot went for 42as

bid of A. was made. and the nearest
approach to an offering Of that sort
was A block of 500 shares for -. At
the close the bid was ~ and the asking
price Il half point in advance.
The preferred stock also sold at a
higher figure. two fifty-share lots
went for $50. while yesterday the best
price paid was IS. Ten shares sold for

considerably ahead OF anything that has
been quoted in connection with this stock
