The fourth meeting Of the Outlook
Club was held last "Wednesday eve
ming at the Bright Hotel and, as
usual, the proceedings were highly en-
tertaining and instructive to those for
tunate enough to be members Of that
club. The Reverend Ernest Wright
read the first paper, on the subject
THE Established Church." and his
paper afforded the club members ma
terial for general discussion along the
line Of the relation Of the church to

was scheduled to read criticism Of
this paper, was unavordably absent.
Doctor Attix read a paper on The

Investigation.
STOCK IS POISONED

livestock have suffered such losses
that stock raising has had to be de-

is exempt from the blighting effects
Of the fume-laden atmosphere upon

animal life. The losses sustained bear
a ratio to the amount Of ore handled. "
The report upon the investigation,
which was made by Dr. R. ]. Formal,
in response to appeals from stock
men and farmers OF the valley, states
that 2,024 horses died in the valley

CUMBERLAND MILL TO
START THIS week
ANOTHER BIG PRODUCER TO
BE ADDED TO THE FERGUS
GOLD MINES.

TO the Democrat, A. S. Wright this
morning stated that the new mill
which has but recently been COM
pleted on the Cumberland property,
near Maiden will be started up this
week, probably tomorrow, and if
everything works out as he believes,
large force Of men will soon be
busy feeding ore into the crusher
while another bunch will be busy TAX
ing out gold bricks.
The Cumberland mill is one Of the
finest plants III the West and will
have an initial capacity Of over one
hundred tons Of ore daily. This ca
pacity will be increased to 400 tons
daily before the end Of the present
year. By that time, the tramway from
the Spotted Horse mine will have
been completed and both mines are
believed to contain sufficient ore to
keep the plant running up to its ca
pacity for many years.
The starting OF the new mill means
much to this city as they will have .
large payroll from the start and one
which will be rapidly increased as the
mine workings are opened up, and al
supplies will be furnished by local
business men.

smelters are not cut for hay and
where it is cut stacks OF 100 to $50
tons remain unsold for several years.
When sold it brings but iron a half
to a quarter OF the price OF hay not
affected by the fumes, the hay and
grass being SO noNious as to be not
used with safety or profit. He says
that Prof. w. d. Harkins, of the
Montana university, made chemical
analysis of grass and hay i'll the val
ley which showed the presence OF
large quantities OF arsenic. There was
also considerable arsenic in leaves and
barks of trees.
Considerable space is devoted to
the effect OF the smeltcr fumes on
animals, they being described as with
out thrift and luster, OF shaggy APP
pearance, dry skin, hard and brittle,
with considerable falling out. fatigued

The Cook Reynolds Company, Of
This City, Purchase Immense
Long Tract Near Stanford.
BEST in THE west
New Acquisition of Local Firm Con-
sidered One Of Choicest Large
Tracts in United States.

Another record breaking deal in
Fergus county land was closed last
Thursday when the Cook Reynolds
company, Of this city, completed the
final details for the purchase Of H.
$50 acres Of land from the ]. B. Long
Investment company, Of Great Falls
Over one-half "a million dollars was
involved in the deal.
Located Near Stanford.
The land runs up to the townsite
Of Stanford and the Billings Northern
railroad passes through the tract for
several miles. None Of the land is
more than ten or twelve miles from
that rail, thus making it most desir-
able for colonization purposes.
Land men from the east as we'll as
the west who are competent to judge,
say that there is not a finer large
tract Of agricultural land in the United
States than this. There is scarcely
an acre Of waste land in the entire
tract and the soil is Of such fertility
that hundreds Of people will, within
five years, be occupying happy homes
where at the present time no more
than a score OF people reside, and
these the employees Of one large COM
pany.
Means Much to Stanford.
The Cook-Reynolds company in
forms the Democrat that they will
begin at once upon the work OF sub
dividing the tract into small tracts
suitable for actual homeseekers, and
these tracts will be on the market
probably within thirty days.

through for the entire length OF the
street, although new district running
only to the intersection Of Fifth
avenue may be created.

Friday as Lewistowns first cleanup
day. It is requested that all citizens
join on that day in one grand move
ment for the general improvement of
the city by the piling up and burning
OF rubbish, cleaing out OF alleys, etc.
1t is proposed, though the time is
limited, to organize for cleanup day
on plans similar to those adopted by
Spokane recently. The following dis
patch, read before the council last
night by Secretary Matthews, of the
Commercial Club, tells of the Spokane
plan:
The Spokane Plan.
Spokane, March 3l-.Twenty thou
sand persons of all ages took part in
the greatest city cleaning movement
ever known in a Western community.
1t was the most general movement
ever started in Spokane
The mayor named March 81 a
special cleaning day and Arbor day,
allowing fires anywhere and giving
use of the city's street laborers to
help in carting away the rubbish.
The banks declared holiday and
city and county Offices closed. The
school children had been organized in
the various precincts. working under
precinct captains. The city officials
designated certain vacant lots in each
ward as dumping places for non-com-
bustible mterial 1t is estimated that
5000 trees were set out during the
afternoon. One syndicate planted
1000 trees.

rected by the city beautifying com

A party of four arrived in the gold
metropolis Of Fergus county Saturday
at noon, by motor, and registered at
the Shaules as E. J. Kaull and three.
Upon further inquiry, it was found
that the three" were Richard A. Har-
low, Ross Brown, and the chauffeur,
and that the party were visiting the
north section OF the county to look
up possible line of route for the
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul rail-
road which is to be built through this
section of the country shortly. As
is we'll known, Mr.. Harlow built the
Montana railroad, better known as the
"Old Jawbone," which has since been
absorbed by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul system, and Mr.. Harlow,
who was president of the old COM
pany, is an efficient member of the
board of directors of the transcon-
tinental line. Naturally Mr. Harlow
is an experienced railroad man, and
his presence in this section undoubed-

friends of the administration that il
the president spoke at Indianapoli:

press again his views regarding the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
No matter what Senator Beveridge's
attitude toward the administration
may be, the president told several oi
his callers today, it is said, that he
had no doubt in his own mind or
that subject, but he did not care tc

Magnificent Display

Everyone turns out to see circus parade, and the crowds that gather to watch the grand, spectacular parade given by Campbell Brothers Big Consolidated Shows when they exhibit in Williams on Monday, April 25, will witness one that is unexcelled anywhere today.
 Horses are always a leading fea- ture with every circus, and Camp bell Bros. have spent years in rais- ing and training their hundreds and hundreds of fine horses that are exhibited, both in the free street parade and in the various ways under the big top.
 The horses are attractive, but we must not fail to mention their rid CTS; scores and scores of really beautiful women, gaily and mag nifcently costumed and all exhibit ing different features of horseman- ship and daring. Then, there are the almost ungovernable horses and bronchos that are mounted by cow boys; and the troop of Russian Cossacks, whose services Campbell Bros. have secured direct from the Steppes of Russia, at an enormous expense, and who are famous the world over for performing the most wonderful and reckless feats on horseback with their horses going at full speed. Don't fail to see them; also many other features too numerous to mention that are part of almost every circus, as groups of beautiful women posed as various characters on the huge, glittering wagons, bands of music and clowns, to say nothing of the valuable me nagerie that is carried with these shows.
