WILL MAKE
IMPROVEMENTS

Work will commence in a very
short time on the building of an
addition to the Eagles nest.
The addition will be built onto
the rear of the present building
and when finished will make
more CONVENIENT quarters for the
bird. Many other improvements
are contemplated by us within a
short time among which will
be the installation of a new up
to-date cilinder press. Our bus
iness is increasing to such an
extent that these improvements
are a necessity and needed to
keep up with the growth of the
town and country. When the
new press arrives we will make
it a point to print solid page Of
country correspondents in each
issue, something we know is
needed in order to keep up the
standard Of the Eagle. Corre-
spondents are wanted from every
postofice in this part Of the
country and we are making an
exceptional offer to those wish
ing to work for us in this respect.
If you desire to help us make
the Eagle a better and larger
paper write to US about this
position. In the meantime we
will endeavor to give you the
news and make the paper what
1t ought to be.

Itmight be we'll to state through
the columns of this paper that
it is against the laws of the state
Of Montana to shoot or kill ante
lope during any season of the
year. 1t has been stated that
several persons residing in this
part of the country have been
doing this. 1T would be we'll for
them to cease this kind of work
at once. The penalty for this
lawbreaking is very severe and
all persons so engaged will be
prosecuted if found out.

ian Church as that was the church
she so loved. Her services were
accepted solely on her own words.
She had been with us little time
when she had been ask if she
didn'tintend putting her letter in
here with us, as is required by all
our ministers. To which she
said that on account of certain cir
cumstances that happened before
her taking leave of the church
she last served she didn't like
to ask for her letter, but that
she would let US know in a few
days. In that time she caused
a petition to be circulated asking
the organization of a Congrega-
tional Church.
Now do you or do you not
think Mrs. Bohr misrepresented
herself to the members of the
Christian Church? We also have
letters to the effect that Mrs.
Bohr is not an ordained minister
and is not commissioned by the
congregational home Mission
Board, and hvae not received
any recommendations concerning
her ministry.

J. E. WILSON
HEARD FROM

The Eagle is in RECEIPT of note
from Mr.. Jay Wilson of this
place post marked Corwin Hot
Springs in which he states that
he is getting on fine and will
very probably be in shape to re-
turn within a week. Mr.. Wilson
first went to Chico Hot Springs
but learning that the new hotel
at Corwin Springs offered excep-
tional facilities for the treatment
of the sick he left the folling day
for the new resort. Mr.. Wilson
is delighted with the change and
says that Corwin is the coming
resort of the northwest.
The scenery at Corwin Hot
Springs is of surprising beauty
and the hotel and plunges is con-
sidered by travellers to be the
finest in the state. He was very
much surprised to find an old
Ekalaka boy in charge of the no.
tel and it should be a matter of
local pride to learn that he is
making good. This is George
Barclay who was in the stock
business here about twenty years
ago and will be remembered by
many old timers. Mr.. Barclay
was until recently manager of
the Northern Hotel at Billings
and is now one of the best hotel
men in the state.

w. H. Peck returned Friday
evening from an extended visit
through New Mexico and to his
old home in Conn. While at
his old home in Ansonia, Conn.
he met many of his old school
mates, and it is needless to say
that he enjoyed the visit. He is
again back in his store, behind
the counter and looks as natural
as ever. Mr.. Peck commenced
rearranging his store and in a
few days will have his new goods
on the shelves and ready to meet
his large trade.
The most interesting sight
that has come to the notice of
Baker people was the wagon train
of settlers to the south Tuesday
morning. 1t comprised the con-
tents of 16 cars of fine horses and
cattle (nearly 100 of the latter)
together with a full equipment
of farm machinery and household
goods. The party which num-
bered about Is families, are from
Winnetoon, Neb., and are going
to the Box Elder country south
of Ekalaka. From thier prosper
GUS appearance it is fair to pre-
sumo that they will develop thier
locality into a wealthy comnuni-
ty in a few years. Seminal.

FROM TRUSTEES
Board Of Trustees Of The Church Make Public
Statement in Regards To Recent
Trouble.

We, the Trustees of the Chris
tian Church have received pet
ition signe by some of the people
of the community asking that the
church be opened to all denom-
nations and as we do not know
who sent this petition to us or
who wrote, or caused it to be
written, we have only the COL
umns of this paper to make known
our answer.
In the first place, whoever
wrote or caused the petition to
be written did it purposely to mis-
lead the people, for the petition
from beginning to end is asking
for something that has never
been refused. If the people
would only stop to think, they
know that the church has always
been used by all denominations
and has never been refused to
any, the church has been refused
to one person only, the people
that desire to organize a Congre-
gational church here have been
told that they could have the
church whenever they secured a
minister.
They were informed of this at
the very first, so why should they
say the church has been refused?
The petition also state that the
people here generally understood
that the church was built and
decided as a Union Chapel, some
may be of that opinion, while
others know different. The
church is decided to the Christ
ian Church, and to the Trustees
thereof, and says that said pre-
misses shall be held and used by
them and thier successors in Of
fee. There is a claus in the deed
that says all christian denomi-
nations shall have use of the
church. This clause is the cause of
the people thinking it was deed
ed as a Union Chapel. The
doors of the church has been and
is still open to all denominations.
The trustees don't wish it other
wise. But we are to protect it
against i'll use as we'll as look af-
ter it. financially.
Now we deem it best to state
here why the church was refused
Mrs. Bohr. We roget very much
that such circumstances have oc-
cured, and worst of all to be pub
lished. But we wish to correct a
false report and thereby show
the people that we are fully just
flied in our decision. When Mrs.
Bohr first came here the men,
bers of the christian church as
we'll as others, understood that
Mrs. Bohr was a Congregationist
and suppose that she came here
to preach as such and before she
commenced regular services,
she made it convenient to offer
herself to the members of the
Christian Church, stating that
she had been pastor of that
church at several differant places
but on coming farther west she
had been thrown into a Congre-
gational Nilsson Field and of late
had done some work for them
but had always longed to identi-

TABLE LINEN FOR A BRIDE
Some Few Things Worth Remember
Ing in Connection With the
Dover Chest.

The girl who Is starting a dover
chest will be particularly interested in
her table linen.
She may we'll choose either Dresden
or Irish linen or both, as both are said
to wear indefinitely. Where one buys
the napery In sets, these Include
cloths of two yards wide by two and
a half and three yards long, and nap
kins of breakfast and dinner size
If possible, buy these sets in their
natural color, and bleach them in the
sun. Chemicals used for whitening
are likely to destroy the texture Of the
linen. Luncheon sets come in both
Irish and Dresden woven napery in all
white.
The newest luncheon sets, however,
are made from Austrian linen, and
consist of a round cloth and IL nap
kins. Each piece carries damask
thistle design in pale green, maize, blue
or rose on a white ground.

Short Trains for Dinner Gowns.

While skirts continue to be very
short in almost all day dresses, the
couturieres have had to lend ear to
the cry of the women who absolutely
refuse to give up trains in their even
ing gowns. have seen several very
smart dinner dresses lately cut with
short, slightly pointed trains, and l
have no doubt that there will be 9th
ers before the winter is over. One
that was worn recently was of ochre-
colored satin, but the rather vivid vel
low was very much subdued by an
overdress of dark aluminium-gray net.
The satin underskirt had the short
train I spoke of, but the tunic, of
course, was short. It was gathered in
a little at the top and its waist line
was raised somewhat above its nat
ural position. The bottom Of the tunic
dropped into points at the sides and
was hemmed with deep band Of the
yellow satin. which drew 1t in trihe

awkwardness or constraint.-The De-

1t was found that the group included
lawyers, doctors, ministers and busi-
ness men. and that they meant busi-
ness.
The party was divided into three
sections. Wagons furnished by the
city and by business firms were on
hand to follow the workers and col
lect the results of their labor.
Up one side of the street and down
the other they worked, cleaning the
street and parkings of weeds and
papers and plling them for the wagons
to collect and cart away. And school
boys who had not been detained at
home to clean yards followed the
shovel and hoe brigade with brooms,
sweeping up the dirt the shovelers
had missed

Tragic Fate Long Pursues a Family

the Maine, another was killed in the
San Francisco earthquake, and their
mother is now insane.
James G. Cumming. grandfather Of
the present Cumming generation, was
a sailor of Salem, Mass, and went
down with his ship when Miss Cum
ming was young girl. Her father
was blown to death in a boiler ex-
plosion in Salem. He was a merchant
and simply happened along when the
boiler let loose. Only parts Of his
body were recovered. One sister was
breaking wood over her knee when
she fractured her kneecap. The leg
was amputated but gangrene caused
her death. Another was killed by a
SNOWFALL in which a stone was i'm
bedded and a third was caught while
packing a trunk. The lid crushed her
head.
The unhappy fate of the family
seemed to descend to the branches, for
one Of Miss Cummings nephews was
lost in the San Francisco earthquake
in one Of the collapsed buildings which
took fire. A brother Of this lad, En-

tected the faintest aroma Of a very
fine cigar also.
The professional instinct was
aroused. Nine. Laska had repeatedly
said she knew no one In California
but themselves. The cigar seemed
to tell different story.
Nichols threw his coat in a corner
of the porch. In the pocket there was
an important letter. If he forgot his
coat he would have to come back for
it-tonight-on account of leaving
the next day.
Cyril pressed a guitar into Marie
Laska's hands, seating himself where
he could watch the singers face.
