IMPROVEMENTS At No. J
Mine Of Roundup Coal Mining Com
pany to Be Electrified in
Near Future.

The Roundup Coal Mining Co. is
making arrangements for the COM
plete electrification of their mine,
having already ordered all necessary
machinery. Work on the change
will commence as soon as the
machinery arrives which will be in
a very short time. This move is
being made to facilitate mining
operations and will greatly enhance
the output of the mine when once
in working order. The comrany
has been taxed to the utmost the
past several months to supply the
demand for coal, making the new
improvement an absolute necessity.
Electric pumps are being INSTALL
ed, and all cars underground will
be propelled by electric moters, in
stead of by the old horse method,
to the head of the slope, and from
there will be hitched onto the cable
in the regular manner. It will re-
quire several weeks after the ma.
chinery arrives to make the change.
The new machinery is being ex-
pected any day.

the land would be classified the
coming year, and as soon as this is
complete and a value placed on the
agricultural lands embraced in the
grant, the land will be offered for
sale in large tracts. This will pro.
badly n be before sometime next
year.
The throwing open of the rail-
road land will mean much toward
the development of eastern Montana
and is something which real estate
men have been hoping for a long
time.

WILL BOND SCHOOL DISTRICT
School Board Dedides to Call Special
Election to Vote $4,000 for
New School House.

The school board in special ses-
sion Wednesday afternoon, called
for the purpose Of talking over the
proposed bonding of the district
to build a new school house, the
need OF which, as was stated in The
Record last week, is becoming ur-
gent, decided to call special elect
ion in the matter. Carl N. Thomp-
son, clerk of the board, is now in
communication with the county
superintendent to ascertain the exact
valuation of the district, and when
this is learned the amount of bonds
to be voted and the date of election
will be fixed. 1t is the opinion OF
the board that the valuation of the
district is high enough to allow
bonds to the amount of $25. 900 to be
issued, and it is probable that this
will be the figure. As the election
will have to be advertised thirty
days it can not be held before the
fore part of March.
AS to the kind Of building to be
erected, nothing of course has been
done, altho the board already has
several plans under consideration.
That it will have twelve rooms and
will be built of native stone is al
most certainty. Prof. F. w.
Dralle, principal Of the schools, is
strongly in favor Of a twelve room
structure, which would make it
possible to include at least two years
Of high school work in the curri-
culum. A large number of pupils
who are far enough advanced are
now attending high school in vari-
Gus cities of the slate. These would
all attend here providing the pro-
per course is furnished.
The apportionment received by
the district from the state last year
amounted to $4,780. while the
school tax was about $17OO. 1t is
estimated that the apportionment
this year will be in excess Of Sc, 900.
This money can only be used for
the maintenance of the schools
and the payment Of instructors.
The school board is to be COM
mended in the manner in which
they have taken hold of the matter,
and their action should meet with
the hearty approval of all progress
sive citizens. The members of the
board are J. NJ. Pyles, f. w. Ray,
Ed. Marcyes, and Carl N. Thomp.
son. The last named is clerk OF
the district.

Government
STARTS THINGS
Contest Cases Before
Com. Handel of MusseI-
shell This Week.
SEVERAL ROUNDUP CASES
Government Wishes to REGAIN
Control of Valuable Coal
Lands-No Fraud CHARGES.

Hamilton Wright, special gov
ernment land agent Of Helena, is at
Musselshell this week in connection
with number of contests being
heard before U. S. Commissioner
Fred w. Handel at that place.
These contests have been instituted
by the government against num-
Der of timber and stone entries
which have been made the past
year. It has been found since that
these lands are far more valuable
for the deposits Of coal thereon than
timber and stone. and it is for this
reason that the department of the
interior wishes to regain control Of
it. That the department had been
contemplating a number of contests
of this nature in this section. has
been generally known, and it is be-
lieved that this is only the begin
ming of quite an extensive campaign
to restore to the public domain coal
lands which have been entered upon
as timber and stone claims.
The case against Joe Lewellyn
was disposed Of Monday, the de-
fendant failing 10 make an appear
ance. Other cases being heard are
Fred w. Handel, homestead entry;
Ben S. Denny, A. A. Morris and N.
J. Llttlejohn, timber and stone en-
tries. Altho the last two cases in
volve land closer to Roundup, they
are being tried by Com. Handel for
the reason that it is in Yellowstone
county. Mr.. Handel and the
government agents, Hamilton
Wright and l.. S. Ropes, came up
Wednesday and these cases were
heard here.
What the outcome of the cases
will be, is, OF course, difficult to
say. The cases will come up for
final hearing before the register and
receiver at Lewistown. Patents
have not yet issued in any of the
cases, the matter having been held
in suspense pending investigation.
1t is understood that no fraud
charges are being made against the
entrymen, the government simply
wishing to show that the land is OF
mineral character and therefore
not subject to entry under the
homestead or timber and stone acts.

Mass Meeting Decides to Start Ball
Rolling for the Creation
Of New County.

AAAASA Wv pAORSA1J AZ sAO H6AS W Nc
waged in the next legislature for the
creation of the new county of Mussel-
shell, the citizens of Roundup, in
mass meeting Monday evening, de-
cided to start the ball rolling by
taking the preliminary steps in the
organization Of a county division
club. A large crowd was present
at the meeting, Il number from
Lavina and Musselshell being in
attendance, thus making the gather
ing fairly representative,
Mayor J. w. Newton called the
meeting to order, after which A. A.
Morris was elected temporary chair
man. and VIM. J. Jameson tempor-
ary secretary. 1t was then decided
to elect committee of five men,
bers to outline plan OF organiza-
tion, the following being the names
of those elected:
Carl N. Thompson
Geo. N. Griffin
W. J. Jameson
Alfred Shaw
NJ. M. Klein.
This was practically the only
matter of note transacted by the
meeting. The committee was in
structed to call another mass meet
sng as soon as their work is COM
pleted, at which time permanent
organization will be effected. The
committee completed its work this
afternoon and has called a meeting
for Monday night, February 7th, in
Pioneer Hall.
Following the election Of the
committee above mentioned, the
remainder OF the evening was taken
up by a report of l.. Il. Carroll,
secretary Of the Roundup CONNER
cial Club, and addresses by Hon.
r. B. Thompson, Of Lewistown.
and Dan w. Slayton, of Layina.
The report of l.. Il. Carroll, who
together with NJ. H. Wall and w.
K. Quarles, was active in the fight
before the last legislature, delt with
the work accomplished at that time,
and was very favorably received.
A vote of thanks was extended the
gentlemen.
Hon. r. B. Thompson, who, as
representative from Fergus county,
and member of the committee on
towns and counties, SO bitterly
fought the measure at every turn
last winter, addressed the meeting.
He said that, with the wonderful
development this section had un-
dergone the past two years, it was
absolutely essential that the new
county should now be created. Al
tho opposed to it year ago, he ex-
pressed himself as being heartily in
favor of the proposition and has
withdrawn all opposition. That
the measure will carry at the next
session is the firm belief of Mr..
Thompson. He paid glowing
tribute to his opponents for the
strenuous manner in which the ght
was conducted last winter. His
line of talk was distinct surprise
in view Of his former antagonistic
feeling toward the proposed division.
Dan w. Slayton, the well known
Lavina sheepman, showed where
he stood in a short talk. He de-
clared that the residents OF Layina
country were in favor county divi-
sion, and were ready to render any
assistance they could with that
object in view. That considerable
diplomacy in establishing the lines
OF the new county should be ex-
ercised was one of Mr.. Slayton's

DoUs ACTIVITY IN BUILDING
IN COUNTY, PARTICULARLY
IN HouoHToN VILLAGE.

Houghton county architects predict
increased building activity next sum-
mer. especially in regard to residences
A number OF large business blocks are
also contemplated in the village of
Houghton. Although building has
been rather quiet in other parts Of the
copper country. the same cannot be
said OF Houghton this summer. Sew
eral magnificent residences have been
erected, both in East and West Hough
ton and several residences have been
erected i'm Hurontown.
Before next spring. two substantial
business blocks and one large building
devoted exclusively TO the Houghton
club will have been COMPLETED. The
odd Fellows temple will soon be en-
closed as Contractor John ]. Michaels
is pushing work on that structure. The
beams for the second floor OF the Ma
sonic buildings are being laid this
week, the brick and sandstone work on
the FIRST story the cellar and the sub
cellar having been completed. Most of
the material for its construction is
now on the ground and no delays are
anticipated.
II is probable that the members Of
the Houghton club will celebrate the
opening Of their new home November
"a. Thanksgiving day.
Mas Bros. architects, have under
consideration several large residences,
the plans of which have not yet been
completed. These will i'm all PROBABLE
ity be erected next summer. Plans are
also being drawn for a large three
story business block TO be built next
summer and others of the same size
have been suggested. although nothing
tracts for these structure will prob

HOUGHTON DEPARTMENT
MAKE WEATHER FORECASTS
BY STUDYING sun SPOTS

Observer Cowdrick of the Houghton
weather bureau station this morning
ventured an opinion on the weather
stating that altogether the weather
would not likely be any colder for a
few days than at the present time. we
would have no more Indian summer
and that the people might now begin
TO put up their storm windows and
rush the coal supply. These state
ments We're interspersed with qualify
ing remarks TO the effect that he, like
other mortals. was not unfallible. and
that the weather might change a num-
Der of times before Christmas. How
ever all indications point 10 a contin-
uation of winter weather.
For the benefit of copper country
merchants who are put TO considerable
trouble by being forced to change
about from wheels and sleds and vice
versa. Mr.. Cowdrick stated that the
department OF the weather bureau is
now at work on plan by which
weather forecasts can be made for a
season in advance. Experiments are
being made with kites TO ascertain the
effict of the upper currents on the
weather The spots on the sun are
also being made objects of much study
and speculation, as il is thought that
they in some way affect the weather
and start storms. should this theory
be made a science. the weather bureau
will become a medium of valuable in
formation both To the farmers of the
country and the businessmen.
