INSTALLS NEW
IMPROVEMENT
Roundup Coal Mining Company Puts
in New Electric Cutting
Machine.

The experiment of the Roundup
Coal Mining Co. in installing Sui
livan electric coal cutting machine
is being watched with considerable
interest. The machine was put in
operation last Saturday since when
il has been doing satisfactory work.
Should it prove successful in every
way, the mine will be equipped
with the machines thruout. In
other mines where they have been
tried they have been found salts
factory, especially where heavy
viens are mined.
Altho the new machine is not a
labor saving nor facilitates mining
operations to any great extent, it
does away with shooting and inn
proves the quality of the coal by
preventing fractures.

NEW FIXTURES
Roundup Hardware Co. Puts in New
Wall Cases and Makes lmpor-
tant Improvements.

The Roundup Hardware Com
pany has been making some impor-
tant Improvements and changes in
their place of business the past
week, and in few days expect to
have it entirely remodeled. The
old shelving has been removed and
in its place a new, up-to-date War
ren's wall case has been installed,
which besides being a great con-
venience and labor-saver in find
ing stock and taking inventory, re-
duces the space formerly occupied
by the stock fully one-half. The
case is nicely vanished, has glass
fronts and adds materially to the
appearance of the interior. It is
dust proof and reduces the shelf
wear of goods to the minimum.
With the new improvements the
firm will be enabled to greatly in
crease its stock, large orders for
new goods already having been
placed. The activity of the com.
pany shows that it has enjoyed
prosperous year, and the liberal
policy pursued will insure them
continued success in the future.

entertained a conference of such a
size.
The details and arrangements for
the entertainment of the body of

all is in readiness. More entertain

needed and it is hoped that this
will all be provided for in the next
day or so as most of the guests will

Every citizen in Roundup, ir-

put on his best smile and welcome
this representative body of men to

Ah0TH[R h[W ADDITION PLATED
Brit Steen Surveys Plot West of City
to Be Known as Park Addition
to Roundup.

There is no other surer indication
of the continued growth OF Round
up than the numerous additions to
the original townsite that have been

were filed:
First Addition, Second Addition,
Newton's Addition, Nelson's First
Addition, Northwest Townsite Co.
Addition, Callahan's Addition,
Nelson's Second Addition and
Brit Stems Park Addition.
In addition to these there is the
Suburban Homes Subdivision
north Of town, which, however, is
not in the corporate limits Of the
city, but no doubt soon will be.
The new Park Addition is located
west of Nelson's additions. and is
considered an attractive PROPOSE
ton. 1t comprises about ten acres
lying south Of the county road be-
tween the city and Camp Three.
-Four Blocks containing forty-eight
lots have been plated, the size Of
the blocks and lots conforming
with those in other sections Of the
city.
The city council has approved
the new addition, and blue print
has been forwarded to the county
clerk for filing purposes. AS soon
as returns are had Park Addition
will be placed on the market. It
is expected that this will be in
about ten days.
Alfred Shaw, the popular mana
ger of the Montana Lumber Co., is
interested in the new addition
with Mr.. Steeu, and will have
charge of the sale of lots.
