A baby show was held last Friday
afternoon under the auspices OF the
w. c. T. u, at the home of Mrs. A.
w. Stoddard. There were twenty-five
little tots present and prettier,
healthier bunch of babies could not
be assembled in Montana. Baby
Cunningham, Baby Martin and Baby
Stout were awarded the blue ribbons.
Sam Weaver is disconsolate.
few days ago he sent his full-blooded,
registered Airedale dog, Lewistown
Ted, out to the ranch of T. M. Shaw
for a vacation. A telephone last
night conveyed the sad intelligence
that Ted had gotten hold of some
poison and died. 1t was one of the
finest dogs in the country and Sam
would not have sold him for any
price.
Will Wallace, the brilliant Helena
attorney, transacted business before
the district court in this city last
week, and while here, took an auto
mobile trip. in company with S. 5.
Hobson and E. G. WINS, to the Judith
country, where he spent his boyhood
days. Mr.. Wallace says that the
transformation of the Judith Basin
during the past few years is a revela-
ton, even to one who, like himself,
always thought this the most favored
section of country in the west. When
boy he killed buffalo over on the
Judith and took pleasure in point
ing out, on his visit to that section
last week, the exact spot where he
brought down a fine specimen of the
now extinct lords of the range.
The numerous friends of George B.
Haynes in this city will be pleased to
hear that he has been promoted from
the position Of general immigration
agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railroad company to that OF
assistant general passenger agent.
Mr.. Haynes has been one Of the
staunchest friends that the Judith
Basin has possessed and it has been
due largely to his faith in this section
Of Montana as an agricultural region
that Fergus county and Lewistown
has been SO widely advertised
throughout the country by his road.
His promotion was merited and no
one who knows George Haynes doubts
for moment his ability to make
good.
Chief ]. G. Bebb is back in town, the
cause of the sudden shortening Of his
vacation being just about as this
paper predicted last week. John went
out to help his partner, Jim Weaver,
harvest about three hundred fifty
acres of wheat on Coyote bench. He
pitched in fine and dandy for one
whole day and AYERS that he set up
ten thousand shocks of grain, more
or less. The next morning he had
difficulty in getting out of bed and
after thinking the matter over, de-
cided that the peace and dignity OF
Lewistown demanded that he return
to the city forthwith. John and Jim
have a bumper crop of wheat, but the
Chief says that he is going to leave
the business end of harvesting to his
partner.
Representative Joseph Asbridge
came in the latter part of the week
from his ranch, north of Roundup
and spent several days here transact

sented Fergus county in the lower

sponsible for the creation of Mussel
+ shell county, in which he now resides
