MONTANA'S BIGGEST
BOOSTER in town
w. B. GEORGE, OF BILLINGS,
DROPS IN ON LEWISTOWN
FRIENDS.

w. B. George, OF Billings, who has
won for himself the title OF "Mon-
tana's Best Booste," is in the city
transacting business While he has
bunch OF private affairs to look
after, the Billings man makes boost
ing his chiefest business. Any prop
osition which concerns the welfare of
the Treasure State engages the atten-
ton of this sterling citizen. 1t is an
undisputed fact that he has done more
good work, single handed, toward
placing Montana on the map, than
any other half dozen individuals here
There is much talk of Mr.. George
running for congress on the demo-
cratic ticket While he is not a can
didate in any sense of the word. the
democrats of the state will probably
prevail upon him to make a try for
the place and a stronger man could
not be selected. With w. B. George
in Washington, the denizens of that
village will speedily awaken to the
fact that there is such a state as Mon
tana. He is man of accomplish
ment and could serve the people of
this state most acceptably in the low
er house of representatives.

SOLD TO JEREMIAH WILL
LIAMS CO.

While there has been nothing do
ing between the wool buyers and
growers in or about Lewistown, some
important deals were closed last week

state were sold. The Great Falls
Tribune of yesterday tells of the
deal as follows:
There have been number of wool
buyers throughout the state for sew
eral weeks but the growers and pur-
chasers have been unable to arrive at
any satisfactory terms and the en-
tire movement of the clip of this sea-
son has been hung up waiting the re-
suits. The sale of this large amount
of the output is received with feel
ing of relief by both sides as it IS
looked upon as starter in the dis
position of the states output.
The Bair clip amounts to 100000
pounds and is the largest in the Unit
ed States. This represents the prod
uct of about 10000 head OF sheep.
The J. B. Long clip, which is the Sec
ond largest in the United States, ag-
gregates about 100000 pounds, or
the product OF about 100000 head of
sheep. The clip of the Rae Brothers
amounts to approximately 100000
pounds, being the third largest clip
in this country and is from 10000
head of sheep.

Two Games Here.

Accompanied by several coach
loads OF rooters, the Lewistown
White Wings journeyed out to Moore
Sunday afternoon and took a sound
beating from the aggregation man
aged by pete" Tehurnc. 1t was due
to the great pitching Of the manager
himself that the game went as it did
as he refused to permit the White
Wings to solve his puzzling curves
with any degree of effectiveness.
Hi" Toresdahl Was There.
Little Smith started in to pitch for
Lewistown but was not in his best
form, and after being lambasted rath-
er severely, was taken out, and the
southpaw, "Hi" Toresdahl, was sent
in. "Hi" had the Maroons completely
at his mercy for three innings,
tanning out seven of the first eight
men who faced him. He lost control
in the eighth and Friedline took up
the burden with the bases loaded.
He got out of the hole with but one
score being made.
The Lewistown boys tried hard but
were baffled by Tehurne's twisters.
They made one run on the first and
then went scoreless until the eighth
when a tremendous three-bagger by
Scissors" McKeen enabled them to
put their third and last run over the
plate.
Moore Starts With a Rush.
Moore started with rush getting
three runs in the first They added
two more in the fourth when hard
hit ball rolled under the fence. enabl-
ing the batter and one on base to

other well-known speakers OF the
state delivered addresses. James J.
Hill, OF St. Paul, has accepted an
invitation to be present this year and

better posted man on agricultural
conditions in Montana than the great
railroad magnate and his presence
will attract thousands to the forth
coming gathering An effort is also
being made to have Governor Norris
with us again, and other notable
speakers have been invited to attend.

the interest which he is taking in the
matter and should receive the active
cooperation of everybody in this sec

The people OF Lewistown sub

the Fourth rolls around.
The street cleaning department will
have its work cut out for it on the
morning after.
There will be something doing in
the good old summer time, Mary
dear, when those White Wings and

at the fair grounds. 1t is always war
to the knife and the knife to the hilt
when these two rivals meet. 1t is
said the bench boys will come over
loaded for the occasion. They have
a formidable outfit without any added
strength with Pete Tehurne pitching
big league ball. But the White Wings
expect to do some hard practice
stunts this week and will be at their
best for the games Sunday and Mon

and no doubt a large crowd will turn
out Sunday as we'll as Monday.

used during the X. p. convention,
lines of pennants strung across the
