only $13,9S7, This bid was pre-
sented by Grove 4 Hoe, a Billings

Work on the excavations for the

started Monday. Archie Gillis, a
well known and competent work

BUFFALO BILL
TO RETIRE
Many Interesting Features Will
Be Presented.

Considerable interest has been
aroused in this vicinity through the
announced appearance OF Buffalo
Bills Wild West and Pawee Bills
Far East at Billings, Aug. 3Oth.
Col. VIM. F. Cody, the original
and only Buffalo Bill" travels
with the big exhibition and positive
ly appears ut every performance,
rain or shine, but this will be his
farewell appearance in this section
as he is soon to retire. Arrange
ments have been made with the
railroad officials to run excursions
at special rates from various stations
along the line and there will be
special provisions for the accommo-
dation of those who wish to visit
the exhibition. To the small boy
and grown-up, Buffalo Bill" will
be the chief attraction, for his fame
is not dimmed by the years which
have elapsed since he helped write
the story of the West through his
heroic deeds. One OF the principal
contests of the red men, in which
he took active part, will be pictured
in opcn-air melodrama. The Bat
tie OF Summit Springs, an engage
ment in miniature introducing more
than one hundred Indians and as
many cavalrymen and soldiers.
Contrasted with this scene will be
an Oriental spectacle which will
picture the gorgeous beauties of the
Far East, its pageantry and people,
it's pleasures and pastimes, and its
strange costumes andcustoms. Turn.
ing again to American history, there
will be an Attack Upon an Emigrant
Train and A Holiday at TIE"
Ranch. Rossi's Musical Elephants
will be particular feature of the
Far East scene, and as an individ-
ual feature Of the Wild West Sec
ton of the exhibition Ray Thomp-
sons Trained Western Range Horses
will be shown in feats of grace and
equine skill. Sharpshooting by
Johnny Baker will be particular
attractive feature, and a bunch Of
bucking bronchos will furnish the
principal comedy element Of a truly
exhilirating and strenuous exhibi-
bition.

A fire which started under the
stairway in the basement Of the
Grand Hotel about 2:3O a. m.
Tuesday, came very near destroying
the entire building and perhaps a
large portion OF the lower part Of
Main street. The fire, however, was
extinguished without much trouble,
very little damage being done to the
building. The guests and occu-
pants of the hotel were pretty bad
ly scared, dense smoke filling all
parts of the building. The volun-

as usual did effective work.

HELP THESCH00L
Parents Should Put Forth Every
Effort to Make Roundup Schools
the Best in the State.

The time is rapidly approaching
when we are to start on another
school year. We should begin to
ask ourselves daily, What can |
do to help the SCHOOL," Every one
who is familiar with the conditions
of the schools, realize that much
needs and much must be done to
give our schools the place they de-
serve in the educational world.
With the prevailing conditions and
the cooperation Roundup schools
should stand second to none in the
state. The location is ideal, the
facilities are unsurpassed and it is
doubtless the youngest town in the
state with as large an enrolment Of
pupils and as large force of teach
ers holding state certificates. I'm
der these conditions if everyone is
mindful Of his duty, the future
success Of our schools is assured.
Parents should see to it that their
children enter the first day in order
that they will not be working during
the remainder of the year at a dis
advantage on account of work that
they missed, hence, could not get.
Superintendent Dralle has been
in Roundup all summer and has
made extensive arrangements for
the opening of school and would be
glad to meet all nonresident stud
ents and their parents, if possible,
before school opens in order to ar
range for regular entrance. All
pupils having an eigth grade GER
tificate are eligible to enter the first
grade of high school work, those
having done one year of work in
other high schools may enter the
second year of our high school.
Entrance to the high school is free
to all. Our course has been ap-
proved by the President of our State
Institutions thus assuring to all
course equal to any accredited high
school in the state.
A splendid six hundred pound
school bell arrived this week and
the much heretofore missed chimes
of the school bell will be heard at
the opening Of school, Sept. 9Th.
1t has been noised around that
1000 feet Of black board has been
received by the school board and
that all rooms will be supplied, but
some are prone to believe this too
good to be true.

Resolution.
Resolutions passed by the Con-
ference recently held in our city last
week.
We desire to express our thanks
to our official secretary, to the rail
roads and the press for their cour-
tesies and to the church and COM
munity of Roundup for our
delightful conference. We believe
it is proper to say that we have
never seen a community more de-
serving of compliments. A city
two years old with more civic
enterprise than some we know more
than one hundred years old; with
such elegant homes thrown wide
open to us by persons Of all denom-
nations and of no denominations;
city with cement sidewalks, water
works, electric lights and a muni-
cipa! government. 1t is not only
the Miracle of the Musselshell but
ofMontana and the whole Northwest.
We do not, and will not, ask for
more elegant entertainment than
Pastor Haynes, the church and COM
munity of Roundup has given us
and we assure them that it has
never been surpassed to our knowl-
edge, here or anywhere. We pray
that we may have as duly impressed
the community as we have been
impressed and that the fragrance oi
our association may abide forever.

THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. %
The Witch Finders.

Three hundred years ago the bust.
ness of finding out witches was well
established and accepted in courts OF
law as highly proper. In 1919 1t Is re-
corded that the magistrates OF New
castle, England, sent to Scotland for
an expert witch finder. This gifted
person proceeded to show his skill by
discovering fifteen witches and secur-
ing their conviction. One Matthew
Hopkins was celebrated witch finder
Of that period. 1t was easy TO discover
witches when you knew how. The sus
pected person could be forced to weep
and then detected by the well known
fact that a witch could shed only three
tears and those from the left eye, or
she could be pricked with pins to dis
cover the spot insensible to pain. which
was a sure sign Of dealings with the
devil. That women were far more
likely to dabble In witchcraft than
men was conceded. The reason was
satisfactorily explained by famous
German text book on witches published
In the fifteenth century. 1t was SIM
ply that women were inherently wick
ed. whereas men naturally inclined to
goodness.

Pleasing the Sultan.

Kaid Bolton told the following story,
which illustrates exactly the attitude
Of the sultan Of Morocco toward the
French:
One day the sultan asked a lady, the
wife of his dentist, to play one OF the
pianos that were in the room Of the
palace. She played several pieces, one
of them at length catching the sultan's
fancy, whereupon the following little
dialogue took place:
Sultan - That piece is very nice.
What is it called?
Dentist-It is the March on Cadiz."
It was written to commemorate the
Spaniards driving the French out of
Spain.
Sultan-Whatl Were the French In
Spain?
Dendst-Yes.
sultan-How many Of them7
Dentist-About 100000.
Sultan On a surprised tone)-And the
Spaniards drove them out?
Dentist-Yes, every one Of them.
There was q slight pause while the
sultan was thinking hard, and then:
Sultan (quietly)-Play 1t again.

horse a few days after the purchase
and angrily exclaimed. Didn't you

wouldn't trouble anybody" The deal
