BALL TEAM
LOSES TWO
Injuries and Lack of Condition
Responsible for Slump Of
HarIoWt0n Team.

Last Sunday at Roundup, Har
lowton lost to Roundup, score 4 to
0. Though Roundup outplayed
Harlowton in this game, the score
speaks very little for the merits of
the two teams. Only four hits
were made off Grivetti, but these
came together in rainy inning
coupled with unfortunate errors,
allowing the coal camp artists to
sew up the game. Harlowton ne
gotiated five hits off Khirsteller,
but could never advance a runner
further than the third sack due
to some extent to unfortunate
coaching. A return game will
probably be played with Roundup
during the fair.

The entertainment at the opera
last Tuesday evening, given by Mr..
and Mrs. G. r. McCalley assisted
by local talent was the best
ever there not being a dull
moment during the entire evening
and clearly showed that both Mr..
and Mrs McCalley are artists in
their line of work.
Mr.. McCalley rendered some
good selections from James Whit
comb Riley-but his burlesque
political speech-of his own COM
position, took the house. His
violin selections and imitation
showed marked ability as a musi-
clan and called forth much ap.
plause.
Mrs. McCalley rendered a num-
Der of musical reading which were
we'll received and clearly showed
that she has the talent and uses
it to perfection.
Rev. Klemme gave a cornet
selection that was very good and
should he ever decide to lay aside
the cloth would have no difficulty
in making good with some of the
leading musical organizations of
the country.
Last but. not least were the
readings given by Miss McMahan,
which were cleverly rendered and
greatly appreciated by the
audience. Her take-off on the
local young people in THE Coun-
try Dance" caused quite a stir.
Miss Burke and Rev. Klemme
presided at the piano and helped
materially in that line to make
the entertainment success.
Taken as a whole, the large
audience was we'll pleased and
there is but one fault to be found,
there are not enough of them.

this season, and especially those in
the Musselshell Valley.
The ball team goes to Three
Forks Sunday. Here's hoping.
We understand that during the
rain storm Sunday considerable
hail fell in the J. j. Greetan neigh
borhood and did a good deal of
damage.
The heavy rain of last Tuesday
night and part Wednesday put a
damper on hay making for a day
or two but otherwise a benefit to
the country as well asto man
kind. Although we did not es-
pecially need it, we welcomed it
just the same.
The pictures at the opera house
last Thursday evening by the EN-
press Amusement Co. of Lewis
town were fine and was Witnessed
by good audience which goes to
show that good pictures-will the
people. They will show here
again-next Wednesday evening
and also include in their program
some good vaudeville acts and il
Illustrated songs.

A second defeat of the season
was administered to Harlowton
Tuesday by the Redmen's team of
Anaconda. The Anaconda COM
bination had on their swatting
clothes and easily located the goat
of Freidlein who started in the
box for HarlowtOn. Five runs
were made in the first two innings.
At this stage Freidlein went to
first and Grivetti to the box.
Anaconda was held ScOreleSs the
remainder of the game, except for
two donated by the umpire in the
eighth. The feature of the game
was the umpiring of the gentleman
from Anaconda, the like of which
was never seen on a civilized ball
diamond. The mere fact that he
wasn't swatted for the count speaks
eloquently for the genuine sports
manship of the Harlowton boys.
The game was called in the eighth
inning, score 7 to 2 in favor OF
Anaconda.
Harlowton goes to Three Forks
Sunday. The team is rounding in
to condition again and are conf
dent of victory over the Galatin
Valley champions.

MORE FOR SCHOOLS.
The Tax Levy VIII Have to Be
Raised.

It is probable that the tax levy for
the school board for the ensuing year
will be 6.25 mills as against 5.8 mills
last year. The requirements of the
board in the next year are set forth in
the exhaustive printed financial report
which was gotten up by the clerk of
the board, W. ]. Stage, and action upon
the recommendation contained there
in will probably be taken by the new
board at its meeting next Monday
night.
The suggested levy is distributed
among the different funds as follows:
For the general fund, 4.8 mills, as
against 40 mills last year; for the
building fund a levy of 1 mill, as
against g of a mill last year, and in
the interest and sinking fund a levy of
"A of a mill
The increase in the teachers sal
aries and the paying of $4,000 into
the pension fund are items which seem
to make it necessary to increase the
levy.
All warrants that are outstanding at
the present time can be met by the de-
linQuent taxes.

penditure for last year and the esti-
mate of the finance committee for next
wear.

"It has been established that the
island is inhabited by at least eight
million birds. the most of which con-
sist of two species of albatross," said
Mr. Corwin yesterday There were
so many birds on the ground. nesting,
that we had to crowd our way through
to avoid stepping on them.

and a mile wide. In the center Of It
