P. |. MOULE DEAD
Pioneer Stockman and President of the Mussel-
she'll Valley National Bank is
Victim Of Asthma.

Philip I. Moule, form erly of Bercail,
Montana, and for some time the pre-
sident of the Musselshell Valley Ma
tional Bank, of this city passed to
the great beyond at Portland, Oregon
on the 10th. of March. Mr.. Moule
had been suffering from asthma for d
long time. He was taken with a Sc
we're attack on the evening of the 18th
and had slight relapse on the 18th,
then on the following day he had an
other attack and expired before medi-
Cal attendance could reach him.
Mr.. Moule was one of the pioneer
stocl<men of Montana. He came to
this section about % years ago from
Perry, New York and at once be-
came prominent as a cattleman.
When the Musselshell Valley Nation
al Bank was organized he was made
president, but he was compelled to
resign on account of i'll health. He
was then in Portland, Oregon, and
his cherry letters to his business as
sociates here gave them to believe
that he would soon recover, and be
able to return to the home he loved

recently enroute to Chicago. While
there he will assist in the prepara-
tion and arrangement of transcontin-
entail freight tariffs for the Milwau-
kee system, which new schedule will
go into effect as soon as the line is
completed to the coast. Mr.. Calkins
was accompanied by his wife and
daughter. He will be absent for
several weeks.
The compilation of these freight
tarsffs is tremendous and laborious
undertaking, and a great force of
clerks in the Chicago headquarters
has been employed in the work of
making them for some weeks past.
An idea of the immensely Of the job
may be gathered from the statement
that committee composed of repre-
sentatives of the railroads operating
in Montana last week finished the
work of revising passenger traffic
fares for the state Of Montana alone
after having been engaged in the
work for five weeks. The book of
trans-continental freight tariffs will
be twenty times the size of the Mon
tana passenger fare pamphlet.

MANY SETTLERS
Trains Bring Many New Homeseekers Each Day
Many go to the Judith Basin
to Locate

Many have predicted that there
would be a tremendous influx of
settlers into the Musselshell Valley
and Judith Basin during this spring
and summer, but none expected that
the immigration would start to flow
so soon. Each day the trains bring
i'm from the east between thirty and
forty passengers to Harlowton, many
of whom are bound for the Judith
Basin. These people for the most
part are homesteaders, land seekers
and those who are bent on finding
business locations.
The Milwaukee officials say that
the passenger traffic has trebled in
the last two weeks, and that through
out the route people are talking of
Montana and the opportunities af-
forded there. The Milwaukee COM
pany has done considerable advertis-
ing, and now the result is beginning
to show itself. There are more
strangers in town each day now than
there were in week during the
months of January and February.
The Musselshell Valley and Judith
Basin have room and can provide

COURT HOUSE DEDICATED
Fergus County has Gala Day at Lewis
town. Judge Cheadle De-
livers Address.

The new court house for Fergus
County was formally dedicated at
Lewistown last Saturday. There
were large number of visitors from
different parts of the state present,
while the court room where the cere-
mony was held was crowded with citi-
zens from Lewistown, and other parts
of Fergus county. Judge Edwin K.
Cheadle delivered the dedication ad-
dress. He came over from Bozeman
for the occasion. He was followed by
Judge w. G. r. Stewart of Bozeman.
After the exercises the people
thonged into the offices and through
the corridors and some ascended the
tower. The formal opening was a
proud event for the people of Lewis
town. The court house is one of the
best in the state.

so we'll, but even the healthful climate
of Oregon could not ward off the
dread disease.
Mr. Moule was SO years of age at
the time of his death. He leaves a
wifi" and daughter to mourn his loss.
His many friends in this part of Mon
tana realize that a good man and
honored citizen has passed away.
The news of his death comes with a
shock to all, and especially to those
who believed him to be on the road
to recovery.

REGISTRATION LIGHT.
Qualifications Bar Many Who are Per
manently Located
Here.

M. Fl. Graham, who has had charge
of the registration for the coming
municipal election states that the
registration has been rather light.
This is due to the fact that a great
many living in Harlowton now can
not qualify as voters. The qualfica-
tions of an elector are that he must
be quilted elector of the state and
must have resided in the town 6
months, and must have resided in the
ward for 30 days next preceding the
election. These qualifications bar a
great many who are permanently To-
Gated here. On account of the rapid
growth of the town and new people
coming in, large number have not
been here the required time.
The following was the registration
by wards recorded up to Tuesday
morning:

BEST EVER
The Ruth Craven Co. Put on a Good
Show -Ainsworth Orchestra
Can Play Some.

The Ruth Craven Company played
here Tuesday evening to a we'll filled
house. The company played "The
Little Minister" the play in which
Maud Adams stared for several sea,
sons. BY the majority who attended
the performance, the work was con.
sidered the best that has been done
here in the show line this year.
The company was we'll balanced,
and the parts taken by the minister
and the gypsy, by Ruth Craven her
self, were espially good. The play is
quiet, and devoid of any gun play,
which is an agreeable change from
the ultra sensational plays that are
so common in the west. The play
passes off unpretentiously and with
little effort to arouse great excite.
ment, still there is plenty of humol
and critical episodes that make the
melodrama intensely interesting.
The company was accompanied by
the Ainsworth Orchestra of Minnea-
polls. This is a verv attractive fea.
ture in the entertainment. Everyone
agrees that it was the best music
heard here for years. After the play
the orchestra played for a couple OF
hours that the people here might en-.
joy dancing to some rattling good
music. The play goers here hope
that manager Myers will be fortunate
In getting other plays that are as
good as the one given Tuesday night.

MORE TRAINS
Have two Trains Daily--R. M. Calkins
Goes to Chicago.

R lilroad officials here have spread
the report that the new spring sched-
ule on the Montana roads, provides
for two trains each way on the Lewis
town branch. This schedule was con-
sidered at the time one of the trains
to Lewistown was abandoned during
the winter. 1t is likely that the Sc
cond train will be resumed in April.
The Lewistown papers are jubilant
over the rumor, the Daily News says:
One report, which however it is i'm
possible to confirm at this time, is to
the effect that an early morning train
will leave Lewistown, at 3 a. m. to
connect at Harlowton with the east
bound train. This train will imme-
diately return to Lewistown and will
arrive here at IL a. m. The second
train IS to leave Lewistown at a. m.
to meet the west bound train at Har-
lowton and to this city by 4 p. m.
