SPL ENDID SERVICES
Churches Honor the Blue and the
Gray Memorial
Day.

Perhaps the largest evening gather
Ing of the season was assembled at
the Wilson Memorial Church on last
Sunday night, to do honor to the
soldiers of the Blue and the Gray.
Addresses were delivered by the
Reverend G. B. Ludwig and Attorney
L. D. Glenn. Rev. Ludwig in "A
Word Of Tribute" showed that the
best way to honor the dead is to up
hold the combined influences which
make for liberty. AS the flaming
torch of the Goddess of Liberty is a
symbol of enlightenment for the in
coming millions, it behooves us to
look we'll to the Christian schools and
lend hand toward the advancement
of Christian knowledge and princi-
pies which will, alone, enlighten a
people.
The Dreyer Orchestra rendered
very acceptable and appropriate music
for the occasion, which added greatly
to the success of the program.

EQUIP ENGINES FOR OIL
Change in Fuel Being Made to
Lessen Damage of Forest
Fires.

The task of equipping some 40
engines with oil burners has been
started at the Red Lodge shops of
the Puget Sound road within the
past few days. At present there are
about dozen locomotives in the
shops for the purpose of having oil
burners insta lied and other engines
will be received as fast as there is
room for them. The engines burning
oil will be used for both freight and
passenger work between Deer Lodge
and the coast, the change in fuel be-
ing made for the purpose of lessening
the danger of forest fires.
Each locomotive equipped for oil is
provided with a tank tender, which
has capacity of 3,140 gallons and
this amount of OF! will, on an average,
haul 1900 tons a distance of $50 miles.
Four fast passenger engines of the
type used on the New York Central
between Chicago and New York are
expected to arrive from the eastern
shops of the Milwaukee road next
week, and they will be equipped with
oil burners for use on the Puget
Sound extension.

SkIPS OUT
William Wilson Who Has Been
Conducting the Home Restaurant
Skips Out Owing Many Bills.

William Wilson, who has been
running the Home Restaurant, left
town Monday afternoon without say
ing goodbye. He owes many Of the
local merchants large bills for goods.
The authorities are trying to locate
him.
Last Friday Wilson saw his wife,
bag and baggage, on the afternoon
train, but nothing was thought OF this
incident. Sunday night Wilson be-
gan to celebrate in royal manner.
treating many Of his friends and
showing every indication of q man
with money to burn. He was seen
boarding the afternoon passenger and
was not interfered with, for at this
time the condition of his affairs was
not known. Some of the stores had
hi'l on a weekly paying basis, but
this did not hinder him from running
up good sized bills.
Wilson was apparently doing good
business and it is thought that he
got away with a snug sum. Many Of
the railroad men were board NJ with
him and paying by the month, and 1t
is thought that this amount can be
collected 10y the creditors.

At Washington.

Washington, May 29.-With Sena-
tor Carter, the author of the $3O,OOO,-
600 reclamation bond bill, and the
author of the postal savings bank bill,
two of the administrations most i'm.
portant measures; and Senator Dixon,
the author of the long and short haul
amendment to the railroad bill, Mon
tanas senators have been more in the
limelight as able and progressive
statesmen than have the senators
from any other state.
1t is believed here that the opposi-
tion will be unable to defeat the irri-
cation measure which is of such vital
interest to the west. In several
speeches recently President Taft de-
cIared that in his opinion enough peo-
pie we're dependent on the completion
of existing projects to warrant special
legislation being enacted in their be-
half. And now he has come forward
and given the bill mighty boost by
permitting 1t to be attached as a
rider to his most cherished measure,
the land withdrawal bill, which means
that the two will pass or fail to-
gether.
While eastern manufacturers are
much perturbed over the long and
short haul amendment, it is not be-
lieved that they can have it killed in
the house. This amendment will
mean readjustment of the manu-
featuring business of the country,
and will undoubtedly compel many
firms to open factories in the west in
order to avail themselves OF the short
haul rate. In this readjustment
Montana will be one of the first to
benefit because of its immense unde-
veloped water power resources, a
power upon which manufacturing is
arsely d.p.nl,lt.

.OLD WISCONSIN FARM
First Settlement in Dane County
Was Made by Ebenezer Bing-

Believes in the Modern Meth
DDS of Farming.


The Oldest and most historic farm
in Dane County is the Brigham place,
mile east of this village, says dis.
patch from Blue Mound, Wis, to the
New York Herald. 1t Is a remarkable
fact, too. that while the Oldest farm
in the county, 1t never has passed out
Of the hands of the family since first
acquired.
The home is on the famous old mill.
tary road laid out from Milwaukee to
Prairie du Chen in pioneer days and
which in the main follows the south
ern water shed of Wisconsin. In
early days 1t witnessed far more travel
than at present and the Brigham tav.
ern, kept by Ebenezer Brigham, was
famous and popular hosiery.
The interest of the visitor is diyid.
ed between the historic associations OF
the place and the progressive methods
employed in its management. Here 1t
was that the first permanent settle.
ment within the limits Of the present
Dane County was made by Ebenezer
Brigham in 1928. The site Of the orig.
inal log cabin is now marked by a
