The Harowton Band is coming for
ward by leaps and bounds and will
soon rank well up in front with the
rest of the bands in the state. This
fact can be attributed to the efforts
of their leader, A. J. Dreyer, who is
considered one of the best musicians
in this part of the state. Neighboring
towns needing the service of a band
will do well by giving the Harlowton
band trial.

Fisher Brothers Uncover Rich Body
of Ore Near Townsend Pros.
pected for Many Years.

Last Friday j. j. Fisher. w. G.
Husband and A. III. Eiselein went
over to Townsend, the county seat
OF Broadwater county. near which
place Mr.. Fisher and his brother.
Albert, have some valuable mining
claims. The mines are located about
live miles west of that town and con-
slst mostly of copper, although they
have some valuable gold, silver and
lead mines. Both Mr.. Husband and
Mr.. Elselein were very much surprised
at the splendid showing the Fisher
brothers have there. In fact.
1t Is as nice surface showing as can
be found anywhere. Most of the pros
poets are in slate running toward the
quartz site, and the fact that the
vein cuts squarely across the sur
rounding formation indicates a true
tissure. Further indications are bv
the walls of tale. There are gold
showings in all the ore, but the most
favorable is for copper
Inc flsier brothers have been in
prospecting business the past twenty
years and their labors have not been
in vain, which the showing they have
in these claims will prove, and it will
not be far hence when they will be
enjoying the fruits of their labors.
Jas. Fisher, whose home is i'm Har-
lowton, and who at one time was one
of it's leading business men, is well
known throughout the state and his
many friends will be glad to hear of
his good luck.
The Fisher brothers intend organ
iZlng company and incOrporat,
then shares will be placed on the
market. They do not anticipate
much trouble in selling the shares.
AS soon as this is done DEVELOPMENT
work will commence.

injury. He went away and worked
and worked until finally he concluded
that by means of an air pump and
cylinder applied to the break beams
he could bring such pressure to bear
upon the car wheels that moving

than it could be done by hand. Feel
ing sure that the idea would succeed,
he started to get various railroad men

when Commodore Vanderbilt asked

the latter replied that he had no time

good he has done his fellow man with
his Ideas is incalculable.
Andrew Carnegie might we'll feel

for he had seen the time when

on his way from a position as tele-

getting $25 month, and one day
his superintendent told him If he
could raise $500 he could show him
where to make a good investment.
He talked the matter over with his
mother, and feeling sure that the
thing was safe, they mortgaged their
home, and through the superintenA
dent bought 10 shares of Adams ex
press stock, which paid / per cent

A QUESTION.

Mr:Editor: Will you allow me space
in your valuable paper to ask some
questions? l see that there is being
so many homes made for the old vet
Grams, that is right, and the orphans,
one of the grandest homes that has
ever been gotten up, and the home
for the old worn-out preachers is be
ing advocated, and think it Will
come, for all of the. preachers expect
to be old some day. Now the ques-
tiGn comes what will the old far
mers do who were too young to go
i'm the war and have helped to pay
the expense of that war and helped
to build all of these homes, and rails
ed 10 or IL children and lived on 40
or so acres of land all of his life?
The salaries of the people are going
higher and the taxes are higher, and
his children are ALI grown and gone
out in the world to work for them
selves and it takes all they can make
to keep up with the social current of
life. So I think it Is time to say
something about the man that has
borne the heat of the summers for
So years. Now he can't hardly get
IN and out of the steps, still he has
to exert every muscle in his decrepid
body in order to sustain himself and
day after day he is found doing an
honest deed-tiIling the soil,in order
to sustain himself from the cold of
this life and Danish the wolf from
the door. There is just about as
many men now in that kind of fix
as were soldiers left when the war
closed-too young to go to war. and
now old enough to have something
done for them. They can't go tn

veterans alone. What will he do9

years ago, is believed to be armed
with, light gums as we'll as aerial tor
pedoes. This would enable it to fight
any other airships it might meet,
by going much higher in the sky to
discharge their missiles.
The French Minister of War has
just offered big prize for the con-
stFuction of aerial cruisers capable of
a speed over thirty miles an hour;
while Germany announces that in the
forthcoming autumn maneuvers her
three finest airships, the eros, the
Parseval and the Zeppelin, will take
a large part.
ALI the military airships of both
nations have accomplished successful
flights in various kinds of weather of
more than a Numbered miles.
And so the contest goes on. In 1907
France spent G470,060, on her aerial
navy. Last year she increased her
expenditure to e 470 ,000- Germany
spe1t G133,751. The rapid strides
made by the latter may be guaged by
the fact that two years ago she had

Thaw must remain in the State Asy-

day by the appellate division of the
Supreme Court in Brooklyn. Thaw's
application for writ of habeas cor

The application was based upon the

RIVALS OF THE AIR.
How France and Germany Are
Competing for the Command Of the
Skies.

How France and GeFmany are
Competing for the Command Of the
Exchange.
France and Germany have just be-
terry of the air. Both countries are
devoting their finest brains, their
energies, and huge sums of money
in the hopes of eventually obtaining
that mastery In the air which Brit
ain has hithert0 held at sea.
1t was France who began it, for
France has always been pioneer in
the development of aerial navigation.
1t was Frepchman who made the
first successful balloon ascent that
was ever made was a Frenchman
who invented the first navigable bal
| loon.
Then, again, the French we're the
first to make use of balloons in war,
| and quite recently the French were
the first by several years to have, in
! the Inflated LA Patrie," modern
airship fully equipped for aerial war
fare They boast that in aerial pro
gress they are five years ahead OF
any other nation.
The Germans have started mere
than a hundred years behind their
rivals in the fight for aerial supre-
macy. But they are nobly making mp
for lost time, and experts are divided
at the present time as ito which of
these two natfoSn can claim to have
the finest aerial navy In the world.
