Steeple is Built,

During the week the carpenters
have been busy building the steeple
TO the Presbyterian church. The
outside appearance of the church is
neat and artistic. The steeple that
is now almost completed gives the
church metropolitan appearance.
Rev. Ralston the pastor of this
charge is looking forward to the time
when services will be held in the new
church. He thinks that in two
weeks the building will be in readi-
ness for use, but it is not likely that
all of the finishing touches will have
been added.

He is carrying with him new port

The organ folds up neatly in a leather

in this matter was deferred until the
next meeting.
DR. Campbell thought that the as
sociation should begin agitation for a
new school building. He stated that
good school would attract many
more families to the town and would
also be an advertisement that the
town needed. The question of the
size and material to be used was freely
discussed. But the sentiment of the
associat ion was almost unanimous in
favor of . substantial structure OF
stone with about eight rooms costing
in the neighborhood of $4,000 or s25,
600. The question of financing the
project was then brought up. Several
thought the district was in such a
good financial condition that the
building of the school conld be COM
menced IN the near future. The
bonds could be easily floated and sold
at an advantage. The association de-
clded to take definate action on the
matter of building the school at the
next regular meeting.
Among the business matters to be
discussed and acted upon at the meet
ing Monday night will be the aid for
the band, and the boosting of the
baseball team. The problem of build
ing park will also come up for dis
cussion. Perhaps the most impor-
tant topic, and the one in which every
person living in the town is vitally
interested is the building of the new
school. The school board is anxious
to have sentiment of the association
as to the character of the school to be
built, land the manner Of financing the
project.
Every male citizen of Harlowton
should attend the meeting of the
Musselshell Valley Business associa-
tion to be held in the Urner hall Mon
day night, February 18th. This Or
ganization is doing lots of good for
the town. The presence and cooper
alton of every citizen will aid the
work wonderfully. 1t means united
action, united action means strength.
strength means the promotion of new
projects that are not only beneficial
to the town, but are beneficial to
every citizen financially. Ifyou don't
join come and listen to or take part
in the discussions. That alone is an
inspiration to those who are trying to
promote the general welfare of the
town
