A BIC FLOUR
MILL NEXT
Commercial Club Receives Proposition Which Is
Acted Upon at Tuesday Meeting.

city as the need of a mill is becoming
only too apparent from the amount OF
grain being brought to the city Of late.
The plant would necessarily employ
quite number Of people and be a no
table addition to the industrial and
manufacturing life Of the city.
The question of sending out the 100
subscriptions to the Dry Farming
Bulletin was also brought up. This
was finally left with E. c. Leonard.
He will cooperate with the other
real estate men of the city and choice
lists of names will be submitted from
the best agricultural districts sur
rounding Glendive.
Those who had been appointed on
finance for the Fourth Of July COM
mittee reported that the movement
was going forward finely and that
over 81, 400 had already been raised,
with prospects Of much more IN sight.
No permanent secretary has been
secured for the club as yet. It is high
ly important to have some one selec-
ted in the near future SO that the
large amount Of correspondence can be
taken care Of, as we'll as the exten-
sive boosting propaganda gotten thor
oughly organized for active advertis-
ing Of the city and vicinity.

A meeting of the Glendive Com
mereial Club was called on Tuesday
evening at the Court House for the
purpose. of considering the proposition
of establishing a flour mill in the Gate
City. A good attendance was out and
the matter was aired pro and con to
rather definite purpose.
The gentleman who had asked for a
proposition was John Seethoff, who
has large mills at New Salem, n. D.
1t seems that his desire was to put in
a mill at on approximate cost Of some
$50, 600, providing suitable induce
ments were held out for the interested
parties to locate here.
At the meeting, it was decided that
a site could be offered the company ap-
proximately opposite where the old
brickyards used to be, on the river
side of the Northern Pacific railway.
A spur of some 100 feet or more in
length will have to be constructed te
connect the mill with the railroad
Finally, on motion Of Mr.. Metealf
the members voted to offer free sitt
to the company, and also a free spur
providing the cost of the latter vii
not be to exceed 81, 900. It is hope'
that definite arrangements can b
made with the company in the nea
future. to secure the industry for tn

the valley during the past five years
and who were the first people to really
discover the agricultural possibilities
Of the land about here, have cut off
much of the grazing lands Of the cattle
and sheep kings and they have reeog-
nized the inevitable.
AS a result more than 500, 900 acres
Of these big ranches have been put on
the market. AS the land can still be
purchased at very low figures, it is ex-
pected to pass quickly into the hands
Of colonization companies and then be
cut up into quarter section farms.
Tn q report which he has just made,
Prof. Linfe1d states that he has found
the average rainfall in Smith River
valley for the past four years to be
more than 10 inches. With this rain
fall and very fertile soil, most of it
a black loan with limestone ingred-
lent, he believes conditions are ideal
for successful dry farming. There is
also great deal Of water in the valley
for irrigation purposes, large part of
which has never been utilized.

VIII Save Ninety Miles
If Road Is Constructed

Helena, June 3.-Rapid progress
is being made from both ends on the
surveying Of the Northern Pacific
cutoff, through Eastern Montana to
Helena, which will save SO miles
distance and reduce the grades be-
low those Of the present line. The
Northern Pacific party, which was
encamped near the mouth of Whites
gulch, completed running the line
from that point to the east side OF
the Missouri at French bar Sunday,
and Yesterday the crew moved across
the bridge at Canyon Ferry and en-
canned on the site Of the old Green
construction camp used when the
Helena-Castle line was under con
struction years ago. As the road.
bed has been graded from Helena
almost to the river, q distance o1
about Is miles, it will not take the
surveyors long to run their lines ove1
this old grade to see if il is the bes
available route into the city. It u
expected that this end Of the surye.
will be completed within the Weel
and the new line tied onto the pres
ent line somewhere between Helen;
! and Fast Helena.

DIPLOMAS
,..t,, Of 1910 Say Farewell to the Dawson
''''I r,nnfv High School. Fine Address.

back of the influence may be traced
the element that counts sincerity
and loathing Of hypocrisy. His sub
ject was a revelation to all those
who had the privilege of hearing
him. Naturally his connection with
the Society for the Friehdless and
his insight into prison reform work
have given him broader insight in
to all the deep-seated elements of
nature than is possible for the or
dinary lay minister. His commence
ment address for the Glass Of 1910
will not soon be forgotten by any of
those present.
At the conclusion of DR.. Hindley S
address, the boys glee club gave q
song, which was rendered in such a
captivating manner that the mem
bers were forced to respond to a
hearty encore. Hon. VIM. Lindsay
then presented the diplomas, pre-
facing this occasion by a few suit
able remarks and thanking Dr..
Hindley for his fine talk. After a
song by the school "All Hail! Land
Of the Free" the benediction was
pronounced and the Class Of 1910
had been launched out into the
world. The class motto was "Ad
Astra Per Aspera," /" class colors,
white and gold, and class flower, the
daffodil.
Preliminary to the opening of the
exercises, the High School building
was open to the general public fo1
inspection Of all it's many facilities
and generous equipment. The art
display was especially enticing ane
much fine work was in evidence, IN
cluding everything from mere etch
ings to fancy book covers, complete
portraits, etc. Both art and music
are under the direction of Miss lii
liam KIugel, and many were TIL
compliments accorded her during
/ the process of inspection and tn
entertainment of the evening.

A June Morning

The birds awake!
The shadows break
The morning daWns 0 'er vale and hill,
The sunshine bright,
Bathes earth in light;
How sweet the air, and fresh ana
still!
The blossoms fair,
With perfume rare,
Lift up their heads the day to greet;
The crystal streams
With silyery CLEANS,
Flow gently, murmuring at our feet.
All nature sings,
On joyful wings,
The glories Of the morning hour;
Our hearts we raise
In grateful praise,
TO Him, the all-Wise, loving power.

THE CRESCENT.
Legend Of Its Adoption as an Emblem
by the Turks.

Legend Of Its Adoption as an Emblem
by the Turks.
The crescent has been known since
time out of memory In ancient my
thology 1t decorated the foreheads of
Diana and of Astarte, the Syrian We
nus. In the days of Romes greatest
glory the ladies wore it as an orna-
ment in their hair.
Since the foundation of CONSTANT
nople, the ancient Byzantium, 1t has
been the emblem of the city and as
such adorns its walls and public build,
ings, besides being stamped on its
coins and postage. The legend which
accounts for its universal adoption in
Turkey, and Constantinople in par
ticular, Is as follows:
Philip of Macedon laid siege to the
city in the year $40 B. c. He chose q
night Of unusual darkness for the pro,
posed assault but was foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind
cloud. In commemoration of this
providential deliverance the crescent
was adopted as the symbol Of the city.
The Mohammedan sultans were slow
to assume this emblem until some one
mentioned that 1t was the symbol Of
increasing greatness, power changing
as rapidly as the phases of the moon

Sinking JAIL WORK.
6idweIl, the Forser, Was Champion
at Malinaerina.

Malingering Is common in Jail, but
surely case quoted from his own eX-
perience by DIR. Quinton, the late gov
ernor Of Holloway, in Crime and
Criminals" is a record. The hero"
was violent prisoner who feigned
stiffness of the index finger to avoid
oakum picking. He was so angry
when the finger was forcibly bent
that ION returning to his cell he
promptly placed the offending finger
In the hinges Of his table, which was
attached to the cell wall, and violently
raised the leaf, with the result that
the finger was absolutely shattered
and had to be removed"
Another case even more remarkable
In Its way was that of the notorious
American criminal Bidwell. who was
sentenced to penal servitude for life
in connection with the Bank OF Eng
land forgerles.
He was In good health on conplc-
ton, but never did any active work.
Feigning loss of power in his legs. he
lay In bed from day to day aud from
year to year, defying all efforts of
persuasion and resisting all unpleasant
coerciye measures devised to make him
work. When saw him at Dartmoor at
the end of eight or nine years of his sell
tence long disuse of his legs had rem
dered him almost cripple. The mus.
Giles were extremely wasted, and both
hip and knee joints We're contracted
In state of semifleXion, so that he
lay doubled up In n bundle. Though
he was examined time after time 10y
experts, no one succeeded In discover
ing any organic disease or any cause
for his condition other than his own
firmly expressed determination never
to do a days work for the British
government, a threat which, believe,
he ultimately carried out"

Federal Homestead Laws.

The federal homestead laws begin
with the act Of 1862, now a part of the
United States revised statutes. Their
policy is to give portions of the pub
lie lands to those who will settle, cul-
tivate and make permanent homes
upon them. Any person who is the
head of family or who is twenty-one
years Of age and is citizen of the
United States or who has filed his
declaration Of intention to become such
may acquire tract Of unappropriated
public land, not exceeding 100 acres,
on condition Of settlement cultivation
and continuous occupancy as home
by him for the period of five years
and the payment of certain moderate
fees. 1t Is expressly declared that no
lands acquired under this statute shall
In any event become liable to any
debt contracted prior to the issuing of
the patent therefor by the government
to the settler.-New York American.

THEIR cOlORS.
= Touch Of Human Mature Amid the
Horrors Of War.


Out Of the midst of the bloody hor-
rors OF the battle Of Fredericksburg
comes u sweet and touching incident
which goes to prove that the rage Of
battle cannot obliterate the tenderness
dwelling In the hearts II men. The
story is taken from Major Robert
Stiles -Four Years Under Massa Rob
ert." The Federal army was entering
the town, shot was dying in all direc-
lions, and Buck. Confederate sol
der, was peerlng round the corner OF
a house
A little three-year-Old, fair haired
baby girl toddled out of the alley, ac-
cOmpanled by Newfoundland dog,
and la the midst of the kissing shells
chased a cannon ball down the street.
Buck grounded his gun, dashed out
into the storm and swung his great
right arm round the baby. Then he
ran after his company, the little one
clasped to his breast.
The company took refuge behind the
stone wall which has now become his
toric. and there for hours and days or
terror the baby was kept. Fierce
nurses took turns in petting her while
the storm Of battle ragged and shrek

and scouts secured the countryside TO
get her milk
When the struggle was over ard the

WISHBONES.
On Their Shape Depends the Force of
Birds Wing Strokes.

Birds Wing Strokes.
Scientists call the "wishbone" the
furcula, and II is the union OF what
are I'm man two collar bones. These
receive the ibrunt Of the strokes Of the
wing that turn the creature In its
fight.
Few OF US appreciate the strength
of the stroke of the birds wing. A
swan has been known to break a
mans leg by a blow of its wing, and
In like manner the wing beatings of
the larger birds are dangerous If they
strike the human head or face. II,
therefore, a large bird is In the habit
Of making sudden turns to right or
left in its flight 1t must be fitted with
"wishbone' capable of withstanding
the great strain of the wing stroke on
the one side when unaccompanied by
action on. the other.
For this reason we find In the eagle
and birds of its class that turn quickly
a furcula that is a perfect Roman
arch, widely at variance with the
Gothic arch, which is the shape Of the
-wishbone" of our common fowls. The
eagles furcula is everywhere equally
strong and lacks those points of weak
ness that make our sport of breaking
the "wishbone' possible. - Harper

Now, nobody can make any combi-
nation Of the foregoing figures which
will spell anything like a decent pair
of pants. But the tailor cares nothing
whatever about the figures which he
calls out To Jimmie and indeed makes
no reference 10 them I'm his later OPP
erations. He knows the pants won't
fit, anyhow, so what's the use? II
you watch him you will discover that
he usually takes up some other mans
measurements when he undertakes
the laying out of that particular gar
ment on which he puts your name
Having selected from the mass OF
papers on his desk a set of figures
which suits him, he goes behind his
counter, yawns, looks In the glass,
smooths down his hair, hunts for the
place where he left his cigar and at
last picks up thing which looks like

cut your pants by ear and will not
bother to use this implement, but II
you Insist upon inspection he'll make
pretense of scientific use of this in

pose no human being knows or ever
will know.
What the tailor is thinking of as he
begins TO make chalk marks In piece
Of blue paper, using this rule as a
straight edge, is the 10y ride" he Is
going to have with Marie In his new
auto that evening. 1t makes no diff
ference TO him whether the chalk slips
or not, nor is it important how far
along this or that angle he allows the
straight or curved line to run. He
knows they are not going to TT, any
how, so why should he bother about II
overmuch? The only hope you can
possibly have meantime Is the one
raised in your bosom when the tailor.

says: Jimmie, why In the world
didn't you mark the name ON this

The tailor goes on making several
cute little pictures on the blue paper
by aid of this curved thing, which has
numbers scattered along 1t here and
there He draws In several isoscles
triangles, cOnverging at more or less
the same point; but, not liking the
looks Of these, he rubs out some of the
lines and tries over again. Then he
forgets which ones he rubbed out. II
makes no difference anyhow. At last
he stands off, critically gazes upon the
pattern which he has been casting,
makes hit or miss crosswse dab

A FAMOUS RACE.
The Greatest Steamboat Contest on the
Mississippi River.

Mississippi River.
The greatest race ever run on the
Mississippi was between the Natchez,
boat built In Cincinnati and COM
manded by Captain 7. z. feathers,
and New Albany boat, the Robert E.
Lee, under Captain John w. Cannon.
There was spirited rivalry between the
two vessels, and when the Natchez
made the fastest time on record be-
tween New Orleans and ST. Louis
Q,2IS miles in 3 days 81 hours IS min
utes) Captain Cannon resolved TO beat
1t. He engaged the steamer Frank
Pargoud and several fuel boats and
arranged for them to meet him at va
rious points up the river with wood
and coal. Then he had his boat cleared
OF all her upper works likely TO catch
the wind or make the vessel heavier.
On Thursday, June 20 1870, at 4:45
p. m, the Robert Il. Lee steamed out
of New Orleans. The Natchez follow
ed five minutes later. The race had
been advertised In advance and was
now awaited with gathering interest
Mt all the river towns. Large crowds
were assembled at Natchez, Vicksburg,
Helena and other large places.
Between Cairo and st. Louis the
Natchez afterward claimed to have lost
seven hours and one minute ON account
OF fog and broken machinery. The
Robert f. Lee, however, was not de-
layed and arrived in st. Louis thirty
three minutes ahead of the previous
record established by her competitor.
Fifty thousand people from the house
tops, the levee and the docks of other
steamers welcomed the winner as she
steamed into port. Captain Cannon
was the lion of the hour The business
men gave a banquet in his honor. -
