Lewistown High School Debating
cam Loses to Visitors in a Re-
markably Close Contest.
Big CROWD IS PRERENT
Though Disappointed, Supporters Of
the Local Team Have Reason to
Be Proud of Young Debaters.

The three representatives. of the
Butte high school debating team won
a close decision over the Fergus
County Free High school team in
Culver's hall last Friday evening
The judges stood two for Butte and
one for Lewistown, thus showing that
the teams were very evenly matched.
Judge Cheadle Presided.
Judge Cheadle, OF this city, presid-
ed at the meeting. The judges were
Judge Henry c. Smith, Of the state
supreme court OF Helena; Prof.
Robert Clark, Of the state normal
school at Dillon, and Prof. w. F.
Brewer, Of the state agricultural col
lege at Bozeman.
The Butte team comprised Albert
Dorais, John Layton and Walter
Small. The Lewistown champions
were Elizabeth Won Tobel Henry
Stuart and Ruth Berry. The ques-
ton OF debate was: Resolved, That
United States Senators Should Be
Elected by Direct Vote of the Peo-
pie Butte held the affirmative and
Lewistown the negative.
Both Teams Well Trained.
Both teams showed painstaking
preparation for the debate and the ar
guments and the manner in which
they were put forth would have done
credit to couple Of university de-
batting teams. The members Of the
visiting team were all considerable
older than the three youngsters who
SO valiantly worked for the Lewis
town high school but the margin Of
superiority in their presentations Of
telling arguments was so slight as to
make it a difficult task for the dis

power OUTFIT BUYS
BUNCH OF CATTLE
ELEVEN HUNDRED HEAD ARE
LANDED HERE BY MURRAY
DEATON.

Murray H. Deaton, manager Of the
big Power cattle outfit at Judith, and
his first lieutenant, John Reed, ar
rived in this city early yesterday
morning with thirty carloads of cat
tie, some eleven hundred in number,
which were recently purchased Of A.
c. Quaintance, Of Bolder. The train
load Of cattle were brought through
from Boulder by the Milwaukee in
"a hours and arrived in fine shape.
Murray and John left this morning
with the cattle for the lower Judith
country, where they will be turned
out on the extensive range controlled
by the Power outfit down there.
Most OF them are steers and will be
fattened for an early market this year.
The range down that way is finer
than it has been for years, stated
Murray to the Democrat, and he
further states that they will be able
to make record breaking shipment
Of fat stuff this year. The first ship
ment will be started to Chicago early
in August and the outlook is now
most promising for high market

Biiou Is Good.

There is an entire new show on at
the Bijou theater this evening, when
they will present the greatest educa-
tional pictures ever produced. The
scene opens with view of the quaint
city Of Panama, and from there one
is transported to the scene OF de-
velopments and industry along the
canal route. The imaginations OF
man can not conceive of the vastness
OF the amount OF work being done
by the most skilled men of the coun-
try This picture brings their wonders
before your eyes at your very door.
No one interested in the development
OF his country should fail to see this
stupendous picture.
There are two good Biograph SUBJ
jects on the program, drama and
a comedy. which makes this one Of
the strongest bills shown at this
house for many days.

Event in Social Circles-Other
Items of Interest.

Kendall, Mont, April lS.-A meet
ing of baseball enthusiasts was held
early last week to organize for the
season of 1910. There are many
baseball players in Kendall, and
some mighty good material from
which to select a team that can de-
liver the goods. Edwin B. Coolidge
was chosen chairman OF the meet
ing, and all present unanimously de-
cided that Kendall should be repre-
sented by a real live baseball team
that will be credit to the famous
gold camp. Ed Durnen was elected
business manager, and Glenn Nor
ton, secretary and treasurer. A COM
mittee of four was appointed to in
terview the business men and citizens
and to raise funds for the purpose of
fixing up the baseball grounds in front
of the school house. On all sides,
the committee has met with the most
enthusiastic support and the business
men as we'll as the citizens of Ken
dali, have responded literally, so that
when all subscriptions have been COL
lected, about three hundred dollars
will be in the treasury The school
board has consented to allow the
grounds to be remodeled, and work
will commence Immediately. Supt.
H. H. Lang, in behalf of the Kendall
Gold Mining Co., aside from a gen.
erous personal donation, will have the
poles belonging to that company re-
moved from the ball grounds with
out expense to the ball team. Thus
baseball in Kendall is already upon
financial basis and some fine sport
is anticipated. In the past there have
been no grounds within the town

The management positively guaran-
tees their pictures to be the best ever
shown in this city before and their
selections OF pictures are from the
worlds cream output. They guar
antce show that Is worth the money
or the price Of admission will be
cheerfully refunded.
The theater is being entirely over
hauled and when finished will be one
OF the finest III this part OF the state.
There is also a ventilating system be-
ing installed at large expense which
will make it comfortable for Lyric
patrons. The program is advertised
in another part OF this paper and will
be on tonight and tomorrow, when
there will be an entire change OF pro-
gram Thursday evening again. Don't

limits SO that the Kendall boys have
played all games with absolutely no
team practice and have been handi-
capped. 1t is expected that some
good games will be arranged for with
outside teams, and that our local team
will hold its own with all comers.

Country Looking. Fine.

S. S. Hobson and J. B. Elliott ar
rived home Saturday evening from
an automobile trip to Teton county
via Stanford and Great Falls Messrs.
Hobson and Elliott are interested in
fine ranch near the town of Choteau
and went up to look it over Mr..
Hobson says that in all of his long
residence in Montana he has never
seen the country look SO promising
as it does this spring. They travelled
several hundred miles by auto, and
everywhere the grass is as far ad-
vanced as it usually is in June. while
the wheat is at least six weeks ahead
of last season. All along the trip
were seen steam plows and teams
turning over new ground, and on
hundreds of ranches are manifested
evidences of recent settlement.

STEPHEN STROUFIS
KILLED BY LIGHTNING
POPULAR STANFORD MAN IS
VICTIM OF UNUSUAL AC-
CIDENT.

Stanford World: Stephen Strouf
was struck and instantly killed Tues
day, April II, by lightning. An cleo
trical storm that was considered OF
no consequence was just passing
over. Mr.. Strouf had stepped out OF
the house, intending to do some work
on an irrigating ditch near by, carry
ing for that purpose a shovel. The
bolt, apparently attracted by the
shovel, passed the whole length of
Mr.. Strouf's body, causing immediate
death
Stephen Strouf was born in Glen
more, Brown county, Wis, forty-three
years ago, moving from that place
to Stanford in 1908, when he settled
six miles northeast of town. He was
held in high regard by his friends
and business associates, to whom the
news Of his death came as shock
and a great sorrow.
The funer1 took place at the
home Of the deccacd, Thursday, inter
ment taking place at the Bohemian
cemetary, the cortedge accompanied
by about fifty vehicles filled with
sorrowing friends and relatives.
In the passing Of Stephen Strouf,
Stanford loses one Of her most valued
citizens His demise is a loss as

with the best of spirit and warmly
congratulated the visitors upon their

Following the debate, the visitors
were rendered reception and every
thing possible was done to make their

one, socially. The Butte boys are all
fine, intelligent young fellows and

Fine Progress Being Made by Con-

Will Be BEAUTY SPOT
Improvement Will Be Source of
Pride to Every Resident of Lew
istown-Big Force Employed.

About fifty men are employed these
days on the court house boulevarding
district and within another two weeks,
the improvement will be we'll ad-
vanced toward completion. Con-
tractors Green & Smith and Littlej ohm
who are doing the concrete work,
are laying walks and putting in curb
ing as rapidly as possible, and an
other large force OF men working un-
der the supervision OF City Engineer
Wasmansdorff, are getting the court
house yard and parking strips in
shape for the sowing OF grass.
Many Trees Planted.
Practically all of the trees have
been set out and several varieties OF
shrubbery planted around the cour,
house. The public can now get a
very good idea OF the way the dis
trict will look when completed and
it is certainly going to present beau
tiful appearance.
Streets Being Cleaned Up.
By the time the walks are COM
pleted, the streets will have been
cleaned up and when the grass comes
up and the young trees bud out, the
court house square will be the beauty

Pay Is insufficient.


The local enumerators work on a
per capita basis, receiving three cents
per head. In a city Of the size OF
Lewistown, this is not sufficient. 1t
would enable the enumerators to
make wages for a week or two, pro-
vided they could always find the per-
sons in, but it very frequently hap
pens that the resident is out. No
extra compensation is given when the
census taker has to go back and this
fact is almost certain to result i'll a
large number Of misses and reduce the
actual population figures by several
hundred.
One Remedy Suggested.
1t has been suggested that the
Commercial Club appropriate sum
sufficient to recompense the enum-
orators for the trouble of making a
second or third call, in order that
the figures, as finally turned in, will
represent the actual population of
Lewistown. Lewistown wants fed
eral building and other improvements
which will depend upon to an ap-
