A BIG BUSINESS
The Sale of E. F. Ross Company's
Store Attracts attention--ManY
attend Sale

The Lewis Bros. & Co., of Chicago
and Spokane, have secured the en-
tire stock of the e. f. Ross Company,
and are closing it out at reduced
prices. The sale is attracting atten-
tion in this vicinity with the result
that each day the sales are very large.
Customers are so numerous that it
has been found necessary to double
the force of clerks.
Special sales are being held each
day, and during the past week the
ladies have hal an opportunity to
satisfy their ongings for many little
articles that are necessary to adorn
the fairer sex. The gentlemen too
have taken advantage of the cheap
prices and have laid up a supply of
furnishings.
The special sales will continue
from week to week during the entire
80 days commencing on the 9th of
March. The amount of advertising
that has been done will warrant a
continued good trade. The Lewis
Bros. & Co. realizes that it pays to
advertise.

OFFICIALS HERE
Old Jaw Bone Tracts to Be Removed in a
few Days and the Material and Debris
to be Cleaned up.

A special train came in from Miles
City last Thursday night and among
the passengers on board were H. B.
Earling, general superintendent of
the G. M. & p. S. railroad, M. S.
Gum, president of the Montana road,
and j. l.. Hewitt, the right of way
man for the Milwaukee road. After
a short stay in the city the train
passed on to Lewistown. The Off
cials are out on tour of inspection.
While here in conversation with
several business men, they gave out
the statement that the old Jaw Bone
tracks, that now cut the town in two
will be removed in the next few days
or as soon as the frost is sufficiently
out of the ground so as to make the
work possible. 1t is also the inten-
tion to remove what is left of the Old
depot and the platform.
This is welcome news for the reason
that the tracks are more or less of a
nuicance and an eye-sore to the
town. They cut the town in two,
and, since they are not used at ALL
give the place rather shabby appear
ance. The removal of the remainder
of the old depot will also greatly i'm
prove the appearance of Harlowton.

One Hundred Cars in The Yard.
Overhauled for Summer
Service.

are either the regular bunk or cook
ing cars of work train. They have
been left here to be overhauled and
repaired, preparatory to going out to
the Summit and other points west.
A large gang of carpenters and work
men has already been set to work,
and in a week or more the work
trains will be ready for service.
Yard Master McShane states that
about six hundred workmen are ex-
pected from the east in the near fu-
ture to take possession of these trains

SLABS NC KAY
J. B. Richardson, Uses His Knife in Quarrel
With Angus Mckay Last Saturday
at Bercail.

J. B. Richardson stabbed Angus
Mckay at Bercail last Saturday after
noon. The knife thrusts were in the
right arm, one above the elbow went
clear to the bone. the cut below the
elbow is not so deep, neither of the
wounds will prove serious. Angus
Mckay is young man, and his as
sailant is an old man, without much
strength, otherwise the affair might
have proved fatal.
A dispute arose over some work
that Mckay had asked the old man
to do. Richardson had agreed to go
to work in the afternoon, when Nc
Kay commanded him to take the
team and haul some wood, the old
man refused, and the quarrel arose.
A melee started and Richardson in
order to defend himself drew the
knife, and inflicted the wounds.
Several weeks ago Richardson and
Mckay had some trouble over an

The visit of r. M. Calkins, the gen.
eral freight and passenger agent for
the Chicago, Milwaukee, and Puget
Sound Railroad, seems to have been
productive of some good results as
far as Mr.. Calkins is concerned. News
comes to us that he has been promot-
ed to newly created office of traffic
manager with headquarters at Seat
tie. The following from the Anacon-
da Standard will be of interest to the
many friends of Mr.. Calkins at this
point:
A private dispatch received from
Chicago yesterday confirmed the press
announcement that r. M. Calkins of

REV. VAN ORSDEL
TO LECTURE.
Will Speak on "What Boy Saw
at Gettysburg" Next Friday
Evening April 9th.

Rev. w. w. Van Orsdel, the pio-
neer missionary of Montana and the
present district superintendent of
the Great Falls district of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, will lecture in
the Harlowton Opera house next Fri
day night, April 9th.
"Brother Van," as he is familiarly
called, has chosen for his subject
"What Boy Saw at Gettysburg
Rev. Van Orsdel was a boy at the
time the great battle Of the Civil
War was fought, and had the rare ex-
perience among those now living of
having seen the battle from an emin-
ence and from different parts of the
field. This is the first time he has
lectured in the Musselshell Valley,
this coupled with the fact that the
story of the decisive battle is coming
from an eye witness, will undoubted-
ly make the lecture one of real inter-
est.
Rev. w. w. Van Orsdel is we'll
known in all parts of Montana, it may
be said for the benefit of those who
have lately come to the Treasure
State that he is one of the early set
tiers, and has had all the wild west
experience of which we hear so many
stories. 1t has been said that
"Brother Van" knows every COW
trail and every old cow puncher in
the whole state. His varied exper-
ience alone will draw large au-
dience.

LAST SPIKE DRIVEN
Two Crews on Puget Sound Road
Come Together Near Missoula...
No Ceremony.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound is now completed to the coast
and the road forms one continuous
line from Chicago TO Seattle. The
last spike in the new transcotinental
road was driven at o'clock March %
about one and three quarter miles
east of Missoula. 1t was expected by
many that the new line would have
been completed before this, but as it
is the coast extension of the Milwau-
kee has been built in less time than
it took to construct a corresponding
number of miles on the other great
transcontinentai railroads.
There was no impressive golden
spike ceremony, such as that held at
the time of the completion of the
Northern Pacific in which president
Grant participated. Besides the
crews of the track laying outfit, there
were psesent at the conclusion of the
work, Chief Engineer Dauchey and
several other officials Of the road from
Missoula.
There is yet considerable work to
be done on some of the bridges and
tunnels, besides some balasting, but
the entire line will be completed In
three weeks, and in sixty days the
contractors Will turn it over to the
operating department, when through
trains will be established.

Mr.. Calkins headquarters will be in
Seattle. He has been resident of
Butte about year, or ever since the
opening of the road east of Butte, at
which time the Office of general
freight and passenger agent was Great
ed.
Mr.. Calkins has been with the Mil
waukee road for more than 80 years

the service of the company. He made
many warm friends during his short

bring many other changes, so far as
known, no one has yet been named as
his successor in the Office of general

Sunday at the Blue Ribbon Bowling

victory for the Regulars. They sue
ceeded in knocking down 81 more pins

Regulars took the lead at the
beginning and held it to the finish.

Bercail, the thriving little town on
he Billings and Northern, is to have
a depot according to the latest in
railroad circles. Bercail is one of the
best towns scuth of the Snowies and
