tempts of the Milwaukee officials to
clear the track on their spur from
Harlowton to Lewistown with the old
Fashioned plows, they sent out
rotory from Harlowton Sunday morn
ing, arriving at Lewistown at mid
night. The big SNOW plow had no
difficulty in cleaning the track of the
largest drifts, and made steady pro-
gress except at the local station and
Mt Moore, at which places it was
found necessary to saw off a portion
Of the platform in order to allow the
rotary to pass. On account of the
tremendous weight Of the big rotary
and the extra engine, special bridge
crew was sent along with timbers and
braced up all bridges and trestles be-
fore the engines passed over. There
were $50 passengers aboard the train
that followed the pillow, and over 200
sacks of mail for Lewistown, and a
large number for this place, the &C.

Oliver Readel recently made final
tive year proof before U. S. Commits
sioner s. J. Small on Il valuable
quarter Of land in 1O-1l-1s, near this
end of the Snowy mountains. Mr..
Readel came to this district ten years
ago. At that time no attention was
paid to bench lands, except as graz
ing territory, and all the ranchers
located in or near the mountains
main object being to secure water
and shelter. About seven years ago.
however, Oliver WAS riding over this
district. and as his horse trotted
along over the benches that were
covered with grass knee high, it
entered his mind that there was a
productive soil beneath that sod, and
that quarter Of land would eventual
~ bea valuable holding. After think
ing It over a couple of years, he con-
cluded to file on a homestead and
selected his present location. Mr..
Readel has seen the wonderful de-
velOpment of this district and is con-
graduating himself OH his decision.
He has about $1,000 worth of improve.
ments on his place, but still contem-
plates making many changes that
will greatly enhance the value of his
holdings.
Bob Piepho tells us that scientists
have discovered that music greatly
increases ones capacity for work.
In other words, that an Edison phon-
Ograph-BOb sells them-placed in
room occupied by persons working
will soon pay for itself and the rec
ords by the increased amount of labor
secured during the time the machine
is entertaining. This puts the phono-
graph on a scale of usefulness, but
Bob neglected to state what kind of
music should be rendered whether
two steps, waltzes, jigs. funeral
marches, comic songs or lovers rant
in2s. We presume, however, that
different temperaments would require
different kinds Of entertainment in
order to secure the desired result. If
there is anything in this theory. we
should like to have Mr.. PiephO make
diagnosis of the official court lester.
Gilman Tehney, who recently accept
ell Il position on the Journal staff. If
Bob can ascertain Just what kind of
rhythmic waves are required to in
crease Court Jester Tenney's capacity
for work from sixteen hours to eigh-
teen or twenty each shift, this office
would undoubtedly consider making
Il purchase.
