Big Changes are Made in the New
Addition to the Old
T0Wnsite.

The Twodot Townsite Company has
spent the past week to very gooc
advantage in beautifying the new
addition to the townsite Of Twodot.
A new system of bitches and laterals
have been put in, which gives this
part OF town perfect irrigation. Near
ly every lot in this quarter can now
be irrigated, and it is only question
of time when it will have beautiful
lawns.
In addition to the irrigation work
the company has had force of men
setting out trees. Both parks have
been greatly improved by planting
trees in them. Trees have been
planted on each side of every street,
which in time will give splendid
shade. Over 800 trees have been set
out in this addition, which tells the
tale of improvement.

property the last few months. Only
few lots are left to be disposed Of;

Night Of May 3rd-- Deceased
is Beloved by all.

Mrs. A. j. Dreyer, who had been
languishing for several days prior to
the 3rd of May, passed to the great

entered the hospital at Lewistown
several weeks ago, and shortly after

birth of the baby it was discovered
that she was failing from the effects

formed and later blood poisoning set
in, which caused the fatal result.
The citizens of Harlowton received
the sad news with sorrow, for two
weeks the many friends of Mrs.
Dreyer heard the different reports of
illness with great anxiety. None thol
the end was so near, and all awaited
with high expectation her complete
recovery. The interest taken in her
welfare here is indicative of the high
esteem in which Mrs. Dreyer was held
in this community. With a lovable
disposition, kind good nature, and a
heart of sympathy, she was the favor
ite of all The whole community
mourns her loss.
AT the time of her demise, Mrs.
Martha Dreyer was twenty-three years
OF age, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Holing of Glendive, Montana.
On October 3rd, 1906, she was married
at her home in Glendive to A. J.,
Dreyer. Later Mr.. and Mrs. Dreyer
moved to Harlowton, where they have
occupied a high place in social and
business circles. Besides her hus-
band, Mrs. Dreyer leaves little baby
Martha, three weeks old, and Marie,
two years old, two brothers and a
sister, and host of friends.
The funeral services took place at
the M. e. Church on Wednesday af-
ternoon, Rev. Percy Mcmahon off,
ciating. The last sad rites we're per-
formed at the cemetery north of town.

GLACIER PARK BILL
Needs Only the Presidents sigma
ture.. Means Much for
Montana,

Another measure in which, Montana
is vastly interested, and which now
needs only the presidents signature
to become law, Is the Glacier Park
bill, the conference report upon which,
was adopted by both house and sen-
ate April 30. One of the first things
President Taft will do, it is stated,
upon his return from his western trip.
will be to sign this measure.
AS passed the bill contains the
original provisions inserted by Senator
Carter, permitting right of way, in
the north and middle forks of the
Flathead river for the operation of
steam and electric railways. This
met with opposition by the house con.
ferees. and was, in fact, stricken out
by them, but was reinserted owing to
the efforts of the Montana delegation.
The bill also allows the reclama-
tion service to utilize for fowage or
other purposes, any area In the park
which may be available for irrigation
projects. This was another matter,
which for a time, the house conferees
opposed. Another item tina: passed
after convincing arguments by the
Montana congressman, is that which
provides that no lands In the new
park shall be used as basis for In
demnity selection.

CLARK CASE SET
The Jay Clark Case Has Been Set
Over for June Term Van Bus.
kirk and Dunnisan Win.

During the fore part of the week a
number of Harlowton citizens and all
the attorneys returned from the
county seat. The former had been
acting in the capacity of Jurors. The
first case on the calendar was the case
of the State of Montana VS.. John
Kierschbaum for the mutilation of
brands. The case was a hard fought
battle, and eminent counsel for both
sides was employed. Odell McCon-
nell of Helena and N. B. Smith and
Powell Black represented the defend
ant. e. e. Purcell, Edward Hall,
both of Helena, and .Wm. Ford, the
county attorney, conducted the prose-
cution. The jury, after being out for
over Is hours, found the defendant
guilty, and gave him a term of one
year in the penitentiary. This case
will be appealed.
The damage case against Ford and
Manger resulted in a non-suit. The
damage suit of Shueman VS.. Van Bus
kirk and Duunigan, which arose
while the flour mill was in the process
of building, was also a spirited law
suit. The plaintiff failed TO recover
any damages.
The case OF the State of Montana VS..
Jay Clark for assault in the third de-
gree, was set over for the jury term.
Clark was not present and there was
no means of knowing whether he had
been uotitied of the day of the trial.
Clark was represented by J. H. Duffy.
The court in setting the case stated
that unless Clark was present at the
June term he would dismiss the ap-
peal, and declare the bonds forfeited.
1t is likely that the fine and costs
will be paid by the defendant with
out further trial.

A large delegation of Minneapolis
wholesalers, manufacturers, grain

the latter part of May, to become &C

the resources of this portion of the
state. Last year the delegations from
both Minneapolis and St. Paul

over here again this year, if they will
invite them. This matter should be
taken up at the next meeting of the
Commercial Club.

Social Event.

One of the most pleasant socia
events of the season took place yester
day afternoon, when Mesdames Benz
Stevens and S. o. johnson entertained
at the home of the former, in honor oil
Mrs. W. B. Calvin, who is soon to
leave for Martinsdale, where she will
make her home in the future.
The party was in the nature of a
surprise for Mrs. Calvin and it's pleas
ant features were lessened only by the
sadness that was felt at losing one
from the social circle, who during the
years she has lived in Harlowton has
endeared herself to the people here,
and especially to those of her many
friends who were among the invited
guests.
When the guests had assembled
Mrs. Wheeler Freeman and Miss
Shafer, with mandolin and guitar,
rendered two selections, which were
greatly enjoyed, and which fully sus-
tained the reputation of those two
ladies of being talented musicians.
~ Mrs. Freeman, on behalf OF those
present, then presented Mrs. Calvin
with silver carving set of beautiful
design "a slight token" she told her,
of the appreciation of friends who
would miss her when she Was gone,
but, who would ever wish her well.
I,0fn in fhn al Io1ioio,c
freshments were served by Mrs John
son and Mrs. Stevens, the menu in
Guiding chicken sandwiches, choco-
late, ice cream and cake, as only the
hostesses know how to prepare. After
refreshments, the guests INDUCED in
the "Blind Pig" drawing contest, in
which each contestant, with eyes
closed, drew the picture of that now
high-priced animal. The game proved
to be the climax of pleasant after
noon and it is said that some of the
pictures were well executed, while
others will never be hung in the Paris
Liberal Arts Gallery. Mrs. Sedgwick
carried off head prize and Mrs. Moody
had to content herself with being pre-
sented the BOBBY.
Taken altogether it was pleasant
occasion, and the guests left praising
Mesdames Stevens and johnson for
their art of entertaining, thanking
Mrs. Freeman and Miss Shafer for the
musical programme rendered, and
wishing Mrs. Calvin may find true
and appreciative friends at her new
home.
Those present were: Mesdames
Karnop, Hogle, Grader, Root,
Straight, Price, Labrie, Urner, Pit
Cgsmer Gs Van MooX nyX obnsen and Grsyes
and Misses Shafer and Buchard.

WILL BUILD
Railroad In to White Sulphur
Springs ---Rinslins Buys
Springs.
Meagl,er County Republican:

Meakher county Republicans:
Word came this morning to E. j.
Anderson, our local merchant, from
Lewis Penwell that the deal which
has been pending for several months,
has been successfully concluded. and
that White Sulphur Springs will see
the beginning of the grading of road.
bed for the spur l!ne between Dorsey
and the Springs during the month OF
May. Never have tie residents Of
this famous old town shown such real
Joy as upon the announcement of this
news. While they have been expect
Ing to hear this news at any time dur
ing the preceding month, yet the
actual news announcing the realiza-
tlon of fond hopes of nty-five or
thirty years had somewhat the same
effect upon the residents in the town
as the announcement that one has
fallen heir to millions would have.
Everything has taken a fresh start,
and everybody is active and enthusi-
astic. A big jolliticxtion meeting is
planned to be at the Auditorium, at
which addresses will be made by local
and out-of-town speakers. The cele-
bration will conclude with q dance.
White Sulphur Springs now passes
out of history as one of the most
prominent inland towns of the West.
and from this time forward will be-
gin to take on metropolitan airs.
Building on large scale already
has been contracted for and the build
ers OF the railroad promise to develop
the springs and promote the building
and beautifying of the town in every
way possible.
A few weeks ago, it will he remem-
bered, this paper said editorially that
the rumor which had gained currency,
attributing this railroad activity to
the Milwaukee Company, was false.
That was true. The builders of this
road are the Ringlinv Brothers circus
people, who have purchased the
Springs property OF the Conrad-Stan-
ford interests and plan the building
of a 100000 bath house and hotel
also. Some time ago Mr.. Ringing
sent a German chemist here from
Baden Baden, Germany, for the pur-
pose of analyzing the waters of which
SO much had been heard, and his re-
port to his employers was that the
thermal waters of While Sulphur
Springs possessed such high degree of
virtue that it Is doubtful whether
better springs can be found OH tile
Western hemisphere, and that the To-
cation and general health conditions
OF White Sulphur Springs were such
as would eminently lend itself to the
Of a health resort. On
the basis of this report Mr.. RinglinX
placed himself in communication with
Lewis Penwell of Helena, with the re.
suit as already announced. Through
MIR. Penwell Mr.. Ringling made
known that he would like the towns
people and residents of Smith River
Valley to share in this enterprise,
and asked that White Sulphur Springs

BILL PASSED
BY the Senate Creating a New Land
District with the Office at
Harl0Wton.

Washington, ID. g., May 1.-The
bill creating another land district In
Montana with Harowton as the head
quarters, has been favorably reported
from the Public Lands Committee by
Senator Joseph M. Dixon, who hopes
to secure action upon it in both
houses at no far distant date. 1t
looks now as though before congress
adjourned, Harlowton will have been
designated as headquarters for new
federal land district in Montana.
The necessity of the new division is
being urged by the entire Montana
delegation, who point out that the
thousands of people now seeking
homesteads in the state have con-
gested the established offices to de-
gree hardly deemed possible, and fur
ther that the new Office is absolutely
a crying need on account of the i'm
mense distances homesteaders now
have to travel in order to take filings
and attend to other business in the
land offices.
Washington, d. c., May 5.-The
senate has passed, without debate,
Senator Thomas Fl. Carter's bill Gre
