Huntly Had
Celebration

Huntley, Mont, July % 'O9;-
The Second Annual Settlers Pic
nlc was celebrated today by the
farmers Of the Huntley Irrigation
Project in commemorative of the
opening of the project. The sight
selected for the festivities was the
grove on the G. A. Baird ranch on
the banks of the historic Yellcw-
stone River, about seven miles
above Pomrey's Pillar, ef Lewis
aud Clark fame. Clark, tie great
explorers name, cut into the YER
tica sandstone cliff with his own
hands, is one of the historic treas
ures viewed annually by hundreds.
Six hundred and fifty protest
folk, young and old, thronged the
picnic grounds, and the occasion
was one Of felicitation, good cheer
and lavish hospitality. 1t was an
Old time picnic, hundreds Of bas-
kets full Of the best the land would
produce, were in evidence. Food
was free for I'll in any quantity,
and after all had eaten to safety
there was enough left to feed
again as many.
An excellent program was
rendered: Music by local talent
and recitations by accomplished
farmers daughters; addresses by
F. D. Lintield and Mr.. f. S.
Cooley, both Of the State College
Of Agriculture, the Rev. Mr. Pope
of Laurel, and Captain Hoofstetier
Of Illinois.
The weather was ideal and
nothing marred the event. A
dance in Huntly at night for the
young people concluded the fes-
tivities of the day.

Tours w orld
On a Wager

Baron Fon Der Osten-Saen Of
st. Petersburg, who is touring
the world as the result of a wager,
was one Of the distinguished visit
ors III Wibaux on Tuesday even
ing. The Baron comes from
one of the first families of Russia.
About year ago he made a wager
with a friend that he could leave
his native city without a cent Of
money and, during his trip
through every country on the
globe learn the different languages
and be entertained in the best
society, and at the end Of seven
years return to st. Petersburg in
an automobile which was paid for
in money earned on the trip,
Since starting on this journey
almost year ago, he has traversed
Russia, Siberia, China, and Japan,
arriving in Seattle about five
weeks ago.
The gentleman has been pro-
yided with passports from the
countries visited and the auto
graphs Of the different people with
whom he met. The Baron is q
very interesting gentleman to talk
with and, considering his short
time in America, it is most aston
ished how quickley he has picked
up the English language and be-
came accustomed to the American
ways.
He gets permission from the
county AMI city authorities to
carry long dirk and pistol. He
expects to make the journey in
five years, and when he returps to
his old home ht. declares, be will
give the money won on the wager
to some oriental society. The
Baron bid adieu to Wibaux the
following morning.

More Prizes
For Montana

The National Corn Exposition
will be held at Omaha, Nebraska,
December 6 to Is, 1909. The
premium list amounts to $4,000.
and there will be competitave ex-
hibits Of corn, oats, wheat, barley,
rye, and grasses from all Of the
agricultural States.
-Four new trophies have been
added to the list Of prizes and
Montana shonld not win less than
three Of them if care is taken in
the collecting Of the samples to be
exhibited. The Kansas Trophy is
offered for wheat; the Colorado
Trophy for oats; the Wisconsin
Trophy is offered for barley; and
the National Corn Trophy for tile
best ear of corn. Each trophy
has money value Of from 5000 to
$4,000.
Prof. Atkinson Of the Montana
Agricultural College will collect
the Montana exhibit and hopes it
will be one of which she state will
be proud. The best of the exhibits
at the State Fair may be taken
for the Montana exhibit at the
Omaha Exposition. Montana
growers Of wheat, oats, barley and
corn are urged to prepare their
best products for use in this ex-
hibit and to correspond with Prof.
Alfred Atkinson of Bozeman for
further information on the subject.
Not only would the winning of
these prizes please the successful
exhibitors but it would serve to
give publicity to Montana as a
state great in agricultural re-
sources: and, as will be readily
understood, would also be of great
value as an advertisement to the
county in which the winning pro.
ducts were grown.

all Of the old residents of Wibaux.
Mr. Croft having been in the
employ Of our former llverylhan,
Mr.. Stambaugh, for five long
years, while Mr.. Sutherland has
had long experience as a ranch
man and that they will enjoy a

Seeking this information, reporter
interrogated number of persons

came these widely different opinions:
The name of that statue? Why,
it's the Goddess of Freedom"
Yes, can tell you the name. II is
the Goddess of Liberty"
Several declared it to be the statue
of Independence. Others said, 1T is

tone that defied questioning.

A younger member of the house re-
piled to the question about the statue
most suayely and confidingly: 1T is
the god of progress, you know his
name" Several of the colored men
in the various part of the building
were nearly all quite sure it was the
goddess of freedom, One of them
knew the year, 1868, when 1t was
placed above the dome, and he af-
hrmed: 1T is the goddess of Ameri-

Rainbox in q Clear sky.

Just when We thought that it could
not stop raining and that we were good
for flood that would cause the spirit
OF Old Noah to sit up and take notice,
the bow appeared Monday evening
about 8 O'Clock but it was not i'm the
cloud but across the clear blue sky.
There was very fine mist falling from
what was apparently cloudless sky.
There were two bows a very bright one
and shadow or DINNER one There
was heavy cloud at the north end of
the bow. The brightest end of the bow
was next TO this cloud but it did not
show at all on the cloud but seemed to
be above ii. This was the first rainbow
the writer had ever seen in clear sky,
and would not have seen this one IL our
attention had not been called to it.
We were always taught that rainbows
only appeared where there were clouds
for a background.

On account of the heavy rains of
Saturday night and Sunday putting
the railroads out of commission Dolo-
res has been without mail this week
The train which left Telluride Sunday
morning got as far as Mancos where it
is tied up on account of the East Man
cos bridge being out, and the train
from Durango is reported tied up at
Hesperus with bridges or track out on
either side. 1t is reported that Duran
go, Telluride and Silverton have no
railroad communications with the out
side world. The fourth division, east Of
Durango, is in bad shape, as is also the
track between Vance and Placerville.
The wires are down and Dolores is
without telegraph communication. A
train is expected in from Durango
Sunday, but when the upper end will
be open no one is guessing. A lot of
track is out at Montelores, and it is
reported that a dam at Trout lake went
out taking considerable track with it,
besides several bridges and trestles
out or damaged. Walking, however,
is getting good.

Council Meeting.

The town trustees assembled in regu-
lar meeting Monday evening with
Mayor Trimble, and Trustees Exon,
Goodwin, Cabell and Rush present.
The only business of Importance was
the allowing of bills among which was
the Rio Grande's for $3.50 contracted
during the flood of July 22nd. This
bill was laid on the table until the
weather becomes more favorable.
However, matter of vast Importance
to the citizens of our town was broach-
ed by Mayor Trimble and thoroughly
discussed by the members of the board,
and 1t was decided to take steps at once
to ascertain the cost of water system
for Dolores. No definite action was
taken. Mr.. Trimble, who has been
talking with engineers regarding the
matter, simply wanted to get an ex-
preston from the members of the
board. All expressed themselves in
favor of a water system for Dolores, and
no doubt the matter will be in shape
for the people to vote upon in the not
very distant future.

of the ranchers made arrangements
with man on the La Plata who bad
pigs for sale, to bring the pigs to Du-
range aud leave them in the care OF
the proprietor Of short order restau-
rant, who was to give the money for
the pigs. Now there was to be three
pigs and each was to weigh ten pounds
and to cost $1,000 apiece, but when the
pigs were brought home the three only
weighed about ten pounds, so he had
paid at the rate of $500 per pound for
his pigs.
The first lumber used in the building
of our County Seat was hauled here by
Nick Krone and Matt Hammond. 1t
was on Christmas day, 's6. The roads
were not laid out as well rs they are
now and the town site not very plain,
so they found 1t very difficult to locate
our present thriving county seat.
The road going to Rico was not very
good either. lis said it crossed the

is known as the winter OF the "Big

bers range 81 days and had to stay
there until the road was opened. The

The Indians were always source Of
more or less uneasiness. When We
came here the people were still talking
about the killing of Dick May, John
Thurman and Byron Smith. Mr..
Thurman and j. II. Anderson owned a
band of fine horses, Mr.. May and MIR.
Smith went out to buy horses. The
news was taken to the Mancos and a
party of men went out and buried
Thurman and May, but Smiths body
was never found unless skeleton re-

body. Then the same year Willis and
Melvin were killed in the Sirra La

ber and Mrs. Willis went out and
brought their bodies in aud buried
them.
In 1882 there was no one killed, but
Dan Williams cabin on the Dolores
was burned and the Indians fired at
him. In 'S3 there were many horses
