A REAL CLASSY
GAME
Hedges Nine Give Local
Team a Good Came
Rain Interferes

Those who journeyed to the fair
grounds Thursday afternoon to
witness the game of ball between
Harlowton and Hedgesville Ger
tainly received their moneys
worth. No more interesting or
classy ball was ever seen on the
home diamond than the first six
innings. Both sides were retired
in order and not man had cross
ed the home plate at the end of
the sixth. The seventh opened
with slight drizzling rain and
forced discOntinuance of the
game at the end of the inning.
This inning proved the Waterloo
for HedgesvilIe, Simkins the
speed artist weakened perceptibly
in this inning and the home boys
solved his Kansas like twisters,
and pounded him to every corner
of the field. Hedgesville made
the only run in this inning thru
Folsom, the Harlowton catcher,
allowing one to pass. Gervetti
was first up for Harlowton in the
fateful seventh and sent one to
deep centre for two boys. This
was the beginning of the end and
before the third out was register
ed four Harlowtonitcs had scored.
Hedgesville played a clean, snappy
active game of ball and fully ex-
pected to take Harlowton into
camp, as they had previously an
nexed the scalp of Shawmut, Rye
gate and Lavina. Owing to the
impossihility of Harlewton going
to Two Dot Sunday, a game was
arranged with Hedgcsville for this
date on the home ground

BROKE!
Broke! Broke! Broke!


With never a cent to my name!
And fear shall sleep in my boots
tonight
For never was bum in a sorrier
plight
Than am I. And am l to blame?
Broke! Broke! Broke!
No supper to warm my inside!
I feel like a wolf that has starved
for week,
That knows not where is food, nor
whittier to seek;
A wolf-bones, enveloped in hide.
Broke! Broke! Broke!
No job, and none to be found!
I feel very much out of joint, it is
true,
In the midst of so many oppressed
by so few
I'll bury my woes in the Sound.

TRUTH
Silence of Our County Seat
Contemporary Broken BY
a Whopper

Until the last issue the Meagher
Republican has been as silent as
the grave concerning the bond
election. But in it's issue of June
9th, it comes forth with the declar-
alton that the court house will be
built and that there were many
fraudulent votes cast in the pre-
cincts of I[arlowton, Nihill, Okla
and Judith Gap. If we did not
know that the Republican has
about as much conception of the
truth as it does of the autobiogra-
ply of an angel, we would probab-
ly take exceptions to its state
ments. But those of us that know
the Republican appreciate the fact
that it's present attitude toward
publishing the truth and nothing
but the truth is in complete con-
formity with it's past record. Its
own statements are contradicted
by the published record of the
board of the county commissioners
which declares that the bond pro-
position was defeated by a hand.
some majority. The further state
ment of the Republican that it
was the tax payers that, carried
the proposition and will conserve
the interests of Meagher county is
conclusive evidence that the Re
publican is taking liberty with
the truth that few others would
dare to do. The present barking
of the Republican is significant
only that it denotes that the Re
publican belongs to that species
commonly known as mongrels
Our advice to our esteemed con
tempory is to take a vacation

gravates the malady that has 81
long afflicted it, namely, just or

The Carey project came in for
a lengthy discussion and it was
the unanimous concensus of opin-
ion that this matter should be
taken up with Montana's represen-
tativc in congress and if possible
get some action by the department
of the interior, as the Carey Land
Board are powerlcss to act until
the federal department makes it's

The road proposition was again
up for consideration. A resolu-
tion was passed asking the county
commissioners to place forces on

LIVELY MINING CAMP.
(From Sundays DailvA

R. E. Morrison, legal representa- tive of the Clara Consolidated Gold. Silver and Copper Mining Company, returned yesterday from Swansea, where active smelting and mining operations are under way Ore re- eeipts from outside mines are heavy, and there is every indication of a permanent and prosperous camp being established. The output of bullion is heavy and the mines never showed to better advantage than from re- cent development. This is particular ly so between the 800 and 600 levels. where large bodies of good grade copper ores are opened. MT. Morri- son is much elated at the general of his company's affairs.

 He stated yesterday that twenty

 without further delay. There is no question, MT. Grand says, but what this part of the territorial road sys- tenn is destined to be the most popu- lar mOvemen in the life of the under taking. The traveller from the south appreciates what is to be afforded him now more than ever before, and if the road was opened this summer, there would be hundreds of people coming through to visit all points of interest, and particularly so the his tOrieal beauties of the north and the Grand Canyon. The fame of the Prescott stretch of the highway is uppermost in the south at the present time, and with the addition of other attractive country the road will tra- verse. hundreds of tourists will be attracted here. The work on the Camp Verde and Flagstaff road is under prosecution diligently. It will afford an entry to the Grand Con- yon, such as in desired. From Flag staff to Fl Tovar a good road is available, and with a small expense that will be outlayed by Coeonino county, a boulevard will be establish ed. The only obstacle at present lies between Prescott and Phoenix, and to remedy that condition is the motive for starting work between those two points. which is one of the most | laudabe since the territorial highway system was promulgated two years ago,

WHITE MARBLE
 QUARRY FOUND
(From Tuesdays daily)

Considerable excitement is prevail
 ing in the Bouse country over the
 striking of an excellent grade of white marble, the discovery taking place several days ago and publicity given the latter part of the week. The news was withheld until the extent of the deposit was aseertained. which is said to be large, several feet of ground being stripped and a grade of stone believed to be suitable for artistic purposes determined. The place where the marble was found is about ten miles south of Swansea. near the railroad, and among the owners is C. C. Thompson, assayer and metallurgist of Bouse. The quarry is being developed and as depth is reached, the owners feel of. having made a very i'm portant discovery.

 was made evident by him taking the field, with his locating engineer, H.. NJ. Lewis, who arrived from Phoenix, to locate twenty miles of the road way, and to start the work at once. A reconnaissance will also be made at this time of the remainder of the route from the terminal that will, for the present, be located at the Bully BuenO mine, on Turkey Creek The end of the completed portion of the highway will be the starting point on the new work when the county road will be followed to a point where it crosses the Hassayampa bridge. From that place a new route will be se- lected in order to reach and pass over Senator hill on a grade that will not exceed six per cent. The present grade is impractieable to loaded teams or even automobiles, running to as high as twenty per cent in places, and having a general grade that reaches nearly 15 per cent. In fact the Senator hill is a barrier to heavy transportation and is obviated when it is possible to travel any other route to the southern part of the county.

YUMA EXAMINER TRUE ARIZONA
 BOOSTER
(From Tuesdays Daily)

[
 The Yuma Examiner, in it's issue
 of the 26th inst, fires the first gun
 in the fight started by the Prescott Chamber of Commerce to keep the Arizona dollar circulating in the ter ritory, instead of eavorting around the California beaches.
 On the front page of the Yuma paper, two columns of matter des- erlbing the opportunities for spending an ideal summer among our pines, are printed. Illustrations of Granite Dells, MOntezuma's s Castle and Pres eott's mercantile center, appear, fur nished by the Prescott Chamber of Commerce.
 Yuma, it appears, though close to the California line, is the first city in the heated section of Arizona to realize the need for keeping the home dollar within our domain. Naturally. Yuma and the other cities which are cooperating with Prescott to di. vert the summer hegira into Pres eott, will expect this city to boost and boost strongly for them; and it IS this reciprocity that will draw the cities of Arizona together, both to friendship, wealth and thrift. Pres colt appreciates the courtesy of the Yuma Examiner.
