ALDERMAN A. J. nURRAI DESIGNS
City Council Holds a Lively Meeting
Monday Night--Two Seats
Are Vacant

The city council held lively
meeting Monday evening. The
resignation Of Alderman Murray,
which was presented and accepted,
precipitated things, two candidates
being Immediately nominated for
the vacancy. The two men nomi-
mated were Earl Ried and E. J.
Rose. On vote Reid received
three votes and Rose one, Mayor
Newton declaring, however. that
there could be no election for the
reason that Reid did not get a
majority of the total vote should
all aldermen haye been present.
The matter of appointing a sue
cessor to Alderman Murray was
therefore postponded until the next
meeting. Altho his leave of
absence has expired Alderman Ogle
has not yet handed in his resigna-
tion as has been anticipated. This
will probably be done before the
next meeting, when two new alder
men will have to be chosen.

Crops The Country Never Looked
Better

Nobody can blame the farmers
Of Musselshel county for feeling

around with a broad grin on theil
faces. The splendid soaking rains
Of the last two weeks have put the
crops where failure is almost entire.

successful crop year were never bet.
ter il Montana, and those who had
enough faith in the possibilities oi
the country to put in crop, can
feel reasonably certain that their
labors will be richly rewarded.
Winter wheat is looking especially
fine, in places being fully foot
high and having hardy. healthy
roots that dig deep into the rich
soil. Last year, with a very un-
favorable season, where winter
wheat was put in properly and scien-
tifically cultivated, excellent results
were obtained. This season the re-
suits will no doubt be a revelation
to many.
1t is estimated that in the coun-
try directly tributary to Roundup
there are 5000 acres in winter
wheat, a very small acreage when
the vastness Of the country is taken
into consideration, but at the same
time showing that the development
Of the country i under way in no
uncertain manner. According to
present indications winter wheat
will average 45 bushels to the acre.
Many gasoline and steam plowing
outfits have been engaged in break
ing the soil this spring and next
year the acreage will be at least
four times as much as this year.
Not only are the farmers on the
benches gamers by reason OF the
favorable season, but stockgrowers
and sheepmen as we'll are feeling
happy. The range is in excellent
condition, grass showing a heavier
growth than for some years,

Coal Miners Defeat Alfalfa Eaters
in Ten Inning Game at Lavina
Sunday.

Henry Fletcher, the father of
baseball in Roundup. took his Klein
colts to Lavina last Sunday to
meet the Alfalfa Eaters of that
place in mortal combat. The game
was a good one, requiring ten in
nings to decide which was the fit
test to survive, the-cal miners
finally doing things up right.
Neither team scored until the fifth
inning when both sides marked
down one. Both sides again made
another score in the seventh, the
score remaining tie until the
tenth inning.
The beginning Of the second
chapter was disastrous to Lavina.
Jack Toner, Roundup's classy star,
picked out three-bagger, being
followed by two-bagger by Joe
Cherry. Thomas singled and
Dad" Fletcher finished things by
bringing in another score, making
q total Of four in this inning. The
Alfalfa Eaters went to bat looking
down in the mouth, and proceeded
to draw down a goose egg in double
quick time.
Earl Fletcher pitched for Klein,
while Hockey was at the receiv-
ing end.

AL SHAW TO
LEAVE US
Promotion Of Popular Manager Of
Mont. Lumber Co. Will Take
Him to LeWiStown.

Alfred Shaw, who has been man.
ager Of the Montana Lumber Co.'s
yard at this place ever since it was
established over three years ago,
has been promoted by his company
to the position of auditor or super.
intendent of a string Of yards in the
Judith Basin, carrying with it q
handsome increase in salary. The
advancement is well merited by AL
who has conducted the business of
the company here in a manner
which has been most satisfactory to
to all concerned. The success of
the business here is due in great
measure to Al's ability as a busi.-
ness man and his genial personality,
which has won many friends for
him. The promotion will mean
that Al will have to move to Lewis
town, the company's headquarters.
Mr.. Shaw has been one of Round
ups most enthusiastic boosters in
everything pretaining to the city's
welfare. He has been prominently
connected with every move which
had for its object the advancement
of Roundup, and it will be found
difficult matter to fill his place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw will leave for
their new home in Lewistown in q
day or so, and their departure will
be cause for genuine regret.
H. D. Jones, who has had charge
of the Montana Lumber Co. g yard
at Judith Gap, he's already taken
Mr.. Shaw's place here. He comes
highly recommended and will no
doubt continue the stccess attained
by his predecessor.

OFFICE UPTOWN
Wells Fargo Express Co. Desienates
Blair's Drug Store as Money
Order Office.

Ed. Blair received notice We'd
nesday that the Wells Fargo Ex-
press Company had designated his
drug store as an uptown money
order office. He has not yet re-
ceived his supplies, but will be
ready to issue orders within short
time. With the removal uptown
OF this department of the express
company Uncle Sam will have some
competition in the money order
business, many people heretofore
not having been very anxious to
walk down to the depot to secure
an order.
The express company should fol-
low this step in the right direction
by also establishing an uptown ex-
press office, for which the business
men as we'll as the citizens in gen.
eral have been waiting. A petition
asking for the establishment of an
uptown Office was sent to head
quarters last year, but was not
favorably acted upon.

HEINOUS CRIME
INVESTIGATE
EXPLOSION
State Coal Mine Inspector Investi
gates Accident at Klein
April 18th.

j. B. McDermott, state coal
mine inspector, was here last week
conducting an investigation as to
the cause of the explosion which
occurred in the mine at Klein on
April 10Th. Besides stunning sew
eral miners, and endangering the
lives of several hundred others, no
serious damage was done by the
accident, but the consequence could
have been so disastrous that an in
vestigation into the case was
deemed advisable.
A large number of witnesses were
examined by Mr.. McDermott, from
which the conclusion is drawn that
the explosion was the result Of
what the miners term windy
shot" This ignited keg Of
powder nearby and in turn caused
an explosion OF coal dust. Since
the accident the miners have been
cautioned against carelessness in
shooting.
The explosion brings to mind the
fact that there is mine rescue car
somewhere in Montana which was
ordered to be stationed at Roundup
some time ago, but which has
never appeared here. The Round
! up field now employs more miners
than any other district in the state,
and the car should in all justice be
stationed here part Of the time TO
Igive demonstrations in rescue work,
and to familiarize miners with the
different types Of apparatus used.

Crrom Thursdays Daily.)

Lawrence l.. Stewart, who arrived Tuesday from Acapulco, Mexico, to visit with relatives in this city, gives an interesting account of the situs. ton in that republic since the elcc. tion of Madcro as president. He stated that the exodus of Americans is more pronounced than when the Disz regime was being ovcrthrown, and that system of independent outbreaks is embarrassing that coun. try from one end to the other. In addition to the many Americans who are located inland and at isolated points, American capitalists are also preparing to discontinue operations. The hatred of the native toward the gringo is most intense, agitstors pro claiming that the stars and stripes will soon be the emblem of the coun. try, unless the present government is repudiated. In the larger towns, the Americans are staying and are form ing into associations for mutual pro. teetion.

Meanwhile. Bond has been trying to find sanatorium where he may place his wife, but to his horror, finds every private sanatorium full, and no room for more patients. He then proceeds to the Tuberculosis So- ciety and finds that there is no pub. lie place, because he voted against it. He tries to bribe the secretary to make a place for his wife, but the official takes his money and gives him a package of Red Cross Seals Bond is at first angry, but when he learns what the Red Cross Seal means he writes out check for sl50,000 for the campaign and agrees to sup port the hospital bill. The secretary then shows Bond a tuberculosis CT. hibit and an open air school, and ar. ranges for the placing of his wife and the O'Brien children, who also have tuberculosis, in a sanatorium.

BUFFALO BILL IS
 INvEsTI0ArING YAvAPAI
QFrom Thursdays Daily.)

Prescott had the honor yesterday of entertaining for q few hours one of the most famous of western pioneers, in Col. w. F. Cody, familiarly known throughout the nation as Buffalo Bill. He arrived from Cody, wyom. ing, which city was named in his honor, and was accompanied by his consulting mine engineer, Capt. l.. W. Gctchcl.
 Col. Cody visited the Senator sec tion during the day to make an ex- animation of mines, in which he con. templates investing, and states that he will return in January, when he may consummate the purchase of at tractive properties. Although he has been many years on the frontier, and is probably better known than any other pathfinder and Indian fighter. this was his first visit to Prescott.
 He expressed himself as better pleased over the country than was anticipated, which was in great measure due to the many old timers he met whom he knew in the days of long ago, On the road to the Has sayampa he was met by many ae- quaintances. When he entered the Pioneers Home, and was greeted by MT. Chapman, one of his scouts In field operations against the Sioux Indians on the plains of the north, there was an immediate revival of those strenuous days frsught with bitter experiences.
 Col. Cody stated that this was one of the hsppiest experiences in many years in his travels over the country.
 He was very fsvorably impressed with the Home, which he stated was "swarming' with pioneers he knew either personally or by reputation, and he strongly commended the establish. ing of the institution. He is now identified with mining pursuits, and devotes all of his time to that in. dustry, being n principal owner In the Cody.D Dyer Mining and Milling company, which is successfully operat. ing forty-eight miles from Tucson.
 From his brief examination of the country to the south, he anticipates a heavy producing field to follow deep development. He left for the south in the evening and was nc. corded a splendid farewell by scores of old and new friends.
