Planning for Baseball

Local ball fans are becoming en-
thusiastic again as the summer
season approaches, and it is not
improbable that a good live team
will be organized here. An infor-
NAL meeting of a few of the enthu-
siasts was held at the office OF the
Chamber of Commerce on Sunday
morning when the matter was dis
cussed. Next week, it is under

two Or three days, but have not
been able to find the slightest
trace of her.
Garcia is staying with friends at
present at 3O38 Grand street north
east, where his children can be
cared for. He speaks seven Ian
guages and is said to be highly ed
ucated. He served in the Span
ish-American war with a So. Oak.
regiment and had seen military
service in Europe.
Garcia was in a respondent
mood yesterday. He has a load
ed shotgun in his unfurnished
bedroom. He constantly mutters
the name "MankoWski."
While Mr.. Garcia paced the
room he exclaimed. THAT man

law in my own hands. I will walk
a thousand miles to find him.
Then he would relent a few mo-
ments to caress his little son and
daughter.
Between sobs and fits of pas
sion Garcia repeated the name of
his arch enemy, saying that 'he
was induced by the man to leave
his home in Macanauqua, Pa. to
buy farm in Montana. Then
Mankowski got $1,000 Of his
money and then deprived him Of
the love of his wife.

Progress in
Local Affairs
Dennis Elevator Prop
osition is Supported
Better Roads Next

AS the result of the diligent work
of the Chamber of Commerce, local
affairs are progressing by leaps and
hounds, though each day brings
additional necessities to light.
This week the Chamber reports
having met with splendid success
in their undertaking to establish a
grain market at Dennis, though
they are now confronted by much
more serious proposition than the
mere matter Of erecting an elevator
and that is the matter of passable
roads-not only from Wibaux 20
Dennis, Eut in almost every direc-
ton out Of Wibaux.
In his report on the elevator
meeting recently held at Dennis,
Mr.. Schuster, who was one Of the
committee to that place, stated
that the proposition was meeting
with every success, and that a num-
ber of farmers of that thriving
community had even offered to
subscribe one or more shares Of
stock each to hel p the good cause,
at $25 per, which Of course would
greatly Tighten the burden of the
Chamber. Along with this report
Mr.. Schuster also outlined the road
situation, emphasizing the injus-
tice on the pnrt Of our county Off
cials in their failure to better road
conditions, particularly in this por-
ton of Dawson county-and the
same being applicable to conditions
in eastern Custer. In his closing
remarks lie also emphasized the
fact that an elevator at Dennis was
of no avail until they first provided
for roads leading to it. In other
words, it is high time to make roads.
Among other important matters,
the formation Of baseball team
was again taken up, and after con-
siderable confab it was on motion
agreed that no further action be
taken until the next meeting, when
the finance committee expects to
e able to report on their success
in raising funds.

Glowing Tribute to
the Treasure State

No state in the union is more
richly endowed with almost every
form of natural wealth than Mon
tana. Montana's mines, forests,
rich agricultural and grazing lands
and great water powers hold untold
millions of wealth for future settlers
and developers. Three hundred
million pounds of copper are pro-
duced each year, one-fifth the total
output Of the world, and from the
backs Of range fed sheep is clipped
each season $4,000, 900 pounds Of
wool.
Montana has the second largest
water power in the entire North
American continent; it has millions
Of acres Of forests that are being
wisely conserved; it has 81, 900
square miles of coal deposits; it has
over ~, OOO, 600 acres of rich till
able land, and with it's large coal
fields and water powers and its
abundance OF raw material, Mon
tana is destined to become one of
the greatest manufacturing states
in the west.
Her agricultural greatness is
only beginning to be known, yet
the supremacy Of the east is pass
ing to the west. No other state
has ever achieved the record of cop
production and crop values made
by Montana. No other section can
offer such great and actual induce
ments; no other section can meas
ure resources with her.
