They'll clear you or iail you if your
case has a flaw,
They're both men of honor. Not a bit
on the sly;
Unusual for lawyers, because they
don't lie.
Their wives, too, are worthy, with
accomplishments rare,
They can play, sing, cook, and dance
light as air.
There's Onthank the Judge he ought
to be the Esquire,
He draws legal papers and sings in the
choir.
Is never too busy kindness to do,
And his wife keeps home ever pleas
ant to view.
The HARRISON family are host quite
complete
And its always a pleasure each one to
greet.
He's Hood River pioneer, and we
well may be proud
To number them all in the neighbor-
hood crowd.
Then there's the Langiles, who live
in neat little house,
They've settled the question bout the
rat and the mouse.
He's always been doing things worthy
and fair
From climbing mountain to freeing
bear.
The Shoemakers, too, must not for
get,
We had great welcome when at their
house we met
He's an authority on history, ancient
they say,
And she is well versed in the things Of
today.
OF Mrs. Vannette, have a great deal
to say
But prudence postpones it to some
future day.
She's an excellent neighbor with home
talent tense,
But sometimes can gossip across the
the back fence.
Then there's the Michells and the
Smiths, newcomers here ~
But they mix with a vim in the neigh
borhood cheer
They are aways quite welcome they do
their full share
To make meetings pleasant with solic-
itous care
Then the Baileys with jingling names,
Harry and Carrie,
You've forgotten at their house how
long we do tarry.
Mr.. Colby's a musician (at turning the
crank
With the boys assistance) had more
program in bank
We must not forget Bradleys. They re
first on the hill
They belong to the Trust with zest and
with will
They're neighbors we honor for good
ness and worth
We consider them truly the salt of the
earth.
To the visitors, too, we extend the glad
hand
And welcome them heartily to our
neigborhood band.
We know they are worthy and hope
they'll come often
They will hearten us up and life's
pathway soften,
There are many more nelghDofS Ia
like to recall,
But for your sakes now | will close
this long scrawl.
There are bidders ahead for the next
meeting night,
And future plans are maturing; they re
just out Of sight"
This meeting tonight is just like all
the rest
Because it is truly the paramount
best.
Such music methinks will cause trouble
above 't
Twill fill them with envy, such music
and love.
AS the neighborhood trust always hears
and requires
If celestial harpers are like our church
choirs
They may boast of their music on ever
green shore,
But we have heard Newman and aways
want more.
Contributors Note,.
The causes of this are our good neigh
bors Cunning,
They've startled the town and got the
friends running.
To join in the pleasure and jolly good
will
But its not for benighted ones under
the hill.

Why PatrOnize a Newspaper?

.EThe fate of every community is more
or less inevitably bound up in its
newspaper. If the latter is public
spirited, a persistent boomer and in
telligent director of public opinion it
will make the town go in spite of its
ever-present knocking contingent.
The opportunities of some towns are
greater than those of others, but
within their possibilities there is no
agency that can accomplish more for
their advancement than an active and
intelligent newspaper. The capacity
of the local paper for accomplishing
these desirable results in very large
measure dependent upon the support
accorded it by the community ard
especially by the business interests.
But advertisers should rid themselves
of the notion that this support is in
any degree work of charity. 1t is a
square business proposition. The busi-
ness man who appreciates the business
side of the question is the one who
wins. The live newspaper always
gives the live advertiser value received.
A man who cannot see the benefit
arising from a live local paper is
about as much vaule to a town as de-
linquent tax list. Such a man, and he
is to be found in every community,
usually borrows his neighbor s news
paper at that. -Haines Record.

5T0R[5 Q0jt DECORATION DAr
Merchants and Retail Clerks
Agree to Keep Business Places
Closed Decoration Day.

BY a mutual agreement between
the merchants and the retail clerks
union of Roundup, all stores in the
city will be closed next Monday,
May, 3Oth, this being Memorial Day.
Altho nothing has been done to pub
licly observe the day by conducting
public services, it is only beftting
that we pay our respects to the
nations dead by suspending busi-
ness as much as possible on the day
on which our martyr president,
Abraham Lincoln, consecrated the
battle field Of Gettysberg, and which
has since been made a national
holiday Of deep significance. The
people of Roundup should bear in
mind the closing Of the stores on
that day, and should do their shop
ping accordingly.

70 CHANGE SCHOOL DISTRICT
Petition Circulated to Have School
District Designated Under Sec
ond Instead OF Third Glass

a petition addressed to the coun-
ty superintendent of schools, Miss
Orpha Noble, asking that school
district No. 50 be designated as a
district of the second instead of the
third class, under which head it is
now included. The requirements
of a second class district are that it
shall have population of 1000,
which mark has long beer passed.
Practically only one advantage is
to be gained by the change, and
this is that the school board will
consist of five instead of three mem
bcrs. Under the present arrange
ment too much responsibility Is
thrown on few. The petition also
recommends that J. w. Newton and
John S. Davis be appointed as the
two additional members OF the
board to serve until the first annual
school election. The change to a
district of the second class will no
doubt be made at the next meeting
Of the county commissioners.

Bill Stewart Shoots and Kills Cor.
don Langston at Keller Ranch
South of Harlowton.

Harlowton News: Mystery sur
rounds the real cause of the
terrible tragedy, no good reason be-
ing advanced. Gordan Langston
had been in charge of the crew that
was doing the lambing and had a
few words with Stewart about the
work. but nothing more was thought
of this at the time. Thursday even
ing the men had more words that
at first looked serious, but the men
retired without it resulting seriously.
The climax came Friday morning
at the breakfast table. After heated
words Stewart left the table, changed
his clothes, took a six shooter and
went to the barn. After Langston
had finished his breakfast he went
to the barn and was met at the
door by Stewart. who shot him four
times, killing him instantly. Any
one of the shots would have result
ed fatally.
Immediately after the shooting
Stewart armed himself with rifle,
in addition to the six shooter, and
forced Charles Graham to give up
his horse and rode away. It is
rumored that Stewart said that he
would never be taken alive, but
would make his getaway.
A posse was organized at once
and started in pursuit, tracing him
at first to the McGregor ranch and
from there to Lake Lebo, where
from the tracks it was evident that
his horse was giving out. The posse
changed horses and started out
afresh and was in hopes to run him
down before dark. On account o1
Stewards threat the posse are work
ing with care, so as not to be caught
in ambush as it is said that he is q
dangerous man. Stewart cam
from the east about a year ago and
has been working in this district
since then. He has a wife and bab,
that are said to be at the Duff,
ranch and ignorant of the tragedy
The description given of Stewar,
is that he is about thirty years o
age, a blond, medium height
weighs about 10 pounds, and wher
last seen was dressed in a dark suit
and wore a slouch hat and gum
boots.

Change in Fuel Being Made to
Lessen Damage of Forest
Fires.

The task of equipping some 40
engines with oil burners has been
started at the Red Lodge shops of
the Puget Sound road within the
past few days. At present there
are about dozen locomotives in
the shops for the purpose of having
oil burners installed and other en-

there is room for them. The engines
burning oil will be used for both
freight and passenger work between
Deer Lodge and the coast, the
change in fuel being made for the
purpose of lessening the danger Of
forest fires.
Each locomotive equipped for
oil is provided with tank tender
which has a capacity of 3,140 gal
Ions and this amount of oil will, on
an average, haul 1900 tons a dis
tance of $50 miles.

type used on the New York Central

expected to arrive from the eastern
shops of the Milwaukee road next

in a bunch thereby taking their op-

WILL RETAIL lARdt TRACT
Butte Syndicate Opens Office
Here to Dispose Of Holdings
to Actual Settlers.

Since the Butte business men in
vaded the territory east Of their city
on the line Of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee 4 Puget Sound railway over
which they travelled on a special
train more than year and a half
ago, many thousands of dollars of
their capital hav been invested in
central and eastern Montana, says
the Butte Inter Mountain. This
excursion not only resulted in more
intimate commercial relations with
the territory visited, but also indi-
rectly was the means Of bringing
about the development of new en-
Iterprises. Among the latter are a
number of land promotions, and
the latest of these is that about to
be opened by a Butte syndicate
headed by Passmore & Co.
Charles S. Passmore and J. B.
Came of that company are in
Roundup to open an office of which
the latter will be the manager. The
Syndicate has secured tract OF
Is, 900 acres of land seven miles west
and northwest of Roundup and two
miles ncrth of Elso, which it will
cut into smaller tracts and dispose
of to actual settlers. Most of the
land is tillable and most of it will
be cultivated through the dry land
farming methods which are proving
practicable in that section.
The Butte men have options on
other tracts which aggregate about
10000 acres. They have the assur
ances of George B. Haynes, immi
F, grafton agent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway, that
ais company will assist in the colo
hization of the tracts. The com
pany is sending many settlers int
| the Musselshell country, hundreds
bf whom have this season taken ul
homesteads. The lands alread.
,ndar control of the Rutte syndi
cate are selected tracts from tn
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pau
holdings and as they are near tn
