Pleasantly Surprised.

Prestonsburg, Ky. - The esteenr,
in which our tOwnsman, Mr. Roscoe
Murray is held by his students in
Prestonsburg was thoroughly mani
tested Tuesday night when after be
had retired for the night and was
just crossing over into dreamland.
Suddenly he heard a tapping as
.of someone gently rapping, rapping
at his chamber door" Twas some,
late visitors, many in number, who
kept up the tapping until their
teacher turned the key and let
the door swing open; when sudden
ly the room filled with a jolly crowd
Of students bearing apples, oranges
and fine delicatessans of all de-
scriptiOns entirely too numerous to
mention.
1t is needless to say Mr.. Muir
ray is rich in friends among the
young people for he always has a
host of them wherever his lot is
cast, and to say that he is thorough
ly appreciative of their friendship
is but mildly stating the fact.
! The party was after the order OF
an old fashioned pound party" The
object being the surprise which
was indeed a thorough one.
After a very pleasant evening the
guests departed all feeling better
for having been present.
A Friend.

Mill Or No MiII---Which?

Mr.. E. w. Funk of Duluth has
been in town during the past week
rectifying a few minor defects in
the workings Of the Russell-Miller
elevator. Mr.. Funk was the fore
man for the company which built
the huge structure and it stands
as monument to his ability as q
builder. To the Chronicle scribe
he expressed grave doubts about
the Russell-Miller people going
on with the work of building the
mill portion unless the city or
railroad company dispcses Of the
surplus water in that vicinity.
This is something which really
ought to be attended to early in
the spring, provided it can be, but
it is by no means certain that
sufficient fall can be obtained.
On the other hand, Mr.. Helm.
secretary of RIM. company, in
conversation with one of our
prominent business men recently,
declared that no time would be lost
in building the mill at Beach. This
would seem to indicate that that
spot on the other side Of the track
will be the scene Of building ac-
tivity again this summer.

new EQUIP
MENT on n. P.
Nos. 3 and 4 to Be Made Porta-
BILE Palaces Service Same
As That Of the Limited

The Northern Pacific Railway
announces that it will receive from
the car builders on March 1st ten
new observation cars of the type
now operated on both the North
Coast Limited and Northern Pacific
Express. the latter being the fast
through 72-hour train between
Chicago and Portland. This train
was placed in service last summer,
has proved a most popular one,
both east and west bound, catering
to a very high class of patronage.
The Northern Pacific management,
therefore, has determined to make
it equal in character to the North
Coast Limited by providing these
new observation library buffet cars
carrying barber. bath, a library
of current fiction and travel and
the popular magazines. This train
provides a la carte dining car SER
vice all the way, iselectric lighted
throughout and carries standard
drawing room and a tourist sleep
ing car through between Chicago
and Portland, as we'll as similar
cars between Chicago and Seattle
and Tacoma.

that COUNTY Dly!!,c,sss3N ", PROPOSITION
Map Showing Division Of Billings and Bowman Into -Four
Countess With Beach, Medora Maa and Bowman the Seats
Of Government. The Leading Local Political Topic Of the Day.

The proposition has been under
discussion for some weeks and it
seems that its hackers are going
to push it until they get a hear.
ing, in fact q petition is already
in circulating asking for the
first move-to cut off the south
townships of Billings and annex
them to Bowman. This petition
will probably be presented to the
commissioners Of the respective
counties at their next meetings.
Just how far the proposition
will be carried is not known al
present, but that it is an issue
no one can deny.
The Chronicle at present is not ir
favor of, nor opposed to the pro-
position, but will say this much
it is good material for the Beach
Commercial Club to work ONT
we had one.

As a matter Of news we are sub
mitting below a map of the pro-
posed division of Billings and Bow
man into four counties, viz: Bow
man Billings, Slope and Golden or
Golden Valley. The idea, which
originated at Marmarth, and which.
we undertand, has been approved
by the Bowman people, is to cut
off the five rows of townships on
the south of Billings and add
them to Bowman; then divide the
two counties north and south as
shown creating two new counties
on the west side next to the Mon.
tana line. fhis would leave Bow.
man and Medora the county seats
Of Bowman and Billings county
respectively. while ,Marmarth and
Beach would be the logical county
seats Of the new counties.

who contributed to make it such.
The most pleasing feature Of the
contest is the large increase in

Chronicle in a class by itself among
the county papers. The paper has
always taken the leading position
in point of circulation, but we
are now without a competitor in
