 The work Of the Boundary survey party this summer. according to Chiet R5srs. has been very satisfactory. in so far as the boundary work was con cerned, but the principal work of note which was sccompisehd by the two chiefs was that in connection with coping with the smallpox situation which has existed at Rampant House.
 Upon his arrival at Rampant House Chief Rigs at once was notified of the existence ot small pox. and upon thorough examination being made by Dr. Gilbert T.

VICE-PRES'T DICKSON TELLS WHY
 DAILY SERVICE Is ABANDONED

there is nothing to haul, no one is benefIued by reason of the fact that We run a train up and down the road empty. but whenever jt can be demon st-sted that there is business to war rant we shah be only too glad to render reasonable service to proper ly handle the traffic.
 There is no doubt in my mind but that Ihe country has a great future,
 1aunued Mr. Dickeson. 'I shall go hack to the States and spend good oa~t os the winter in an effort to secure additional tourist business, which. jn itself will be a benefit to the country generally.
 ~By placing extra boats in the ser vice at the end Of the season which will run at a heavy additional ex- ranse. with light revenue, we have been successful in giving a better and longer service and have cleaned u7 all tonnage completely, a condi-
 on which has not prevailed in any previous year.
 Tt will be my earnest endeayor in tha future to continue any reasonable arrangement that will afford a good service to meet the demands of the 0uhl5c.
 The citizens be0e and in the Nu- kon Territory generally have been yer, laInfuI to me this season, and with a friendly spirit Of cooperation. I am sure we will all succeed"
 The winter schedule calls for a train each way on Mondays, Wednes- days and Fridays.
 Vice President DicSeson will leave Saturday on the Princess May, and Irs. Dickeson will accompany him.

IOWA FARMER STILL
CHAMPION GRAPPLER
HACkENSCHMiDT PROVES NO
MATCH FOR AMERICAN,
FRANK GOTCh.

Frank Gotch, champion wrestler OF
the world, retained his laurels yes
terday afternoon by winning two
straight falls from Hackenschmidt,
the Russian lion. The superiority of
the big Humbolt, Iowa, farmer over
his powerful foreign rival was a
revelation to the $4,000 people who
witnessed the contest.
The contest was held at the White
Sox ball park and the greatest crowd
that ever witnessed wrestling
match in modern times was present.
After some preliminaries. the prin-
cipals entered the arena and both
were wildly cheered. The betting
was 2 to | in favor of Gotch. Gotch
secured the first fall in IA minutes,
% seconds, and the second in min
utes, 38 seconds. At no time was the
American in danger, although the
Russian assumed the aggressive at
the beginning of the second fall.
The victory will add materially to
Gotch's already large fortune. He
received $4,000 and contract call
ing for one-half of the receipts from
the moving picture privileges. Hacken'

Town lots in H|[GER
COMMAND GOOD PRICES
CONFIDENCE IN NEW TOWN Is
SHOWN BY RECORD-BREAK-
ING AUCTION.

That long-headed business men look
upon Hilger as one Of the coming
towns of the Judith Basin was dem
onstrated last Saturday afternoon,
when 158 lots were sold at auction
in Culver's opera house, for some
thing over twenty-three thousand dol
lars. A large number of people pur-
chased the lots for the purpose of
erecting thereon business houses and
residences in the new town, which
will, for the present, at least, be the
terminus of the Kendall branch line
OF the Milwaukee road, while many
others bought because they think that
the coming Importance OF Hilger will
enable them to make a neat sum by
reselling their lots in the near future.
Colonel Kelly, of Philbrook, was the
auctioneer, and showed himself a past
master at that line of work. He was
assisted by G. w. Morrow, general
townsite agent for the Milwaukee
Land company, and Clyde Morrow,
who also holds responsible position
with that company.
Many of the centrally located bust
ness lots sold for sums ranging from
$500 to $500, while the residence lots
went at lower figures. There was
spirited bidding throughout and many
Lewistown people took shot" on
the proposition.
Work will begin at once on the con.
struction of business buildings and
residences in the new town, and be.
fore winter rolls around, Hilger will
be right on the map and ready for
business.

LARGELY INCREASED ATTEND

SCHOOL HEADS.

The school bells this morning an
nounced the opening of another
school year in Lewistown and the
sidewalks were crowded by the merry
youngsters, all apparently happy that
vacation days are over for while.
Little was done today beyond
getting all of the students classified
and the preliminary work outlined.
Tomorrow the grind will begin in
all three of the city schools, the
parochial school and the high school.
H. A. Davee, superintendent of the
city schools, and Herbert L. Sackett,
principal of the high school, are both
looking for greatly increased enroll
ments this autumn. The large num-
ber of students who were graduated
from the eighth grade of the grammar
schools of the county last spring
would indicate that the freshman
class at the higher institution will be
larger than ever in the county schools
history.

ELI WILLS DROPS DEAD WHILE
STANDING ON THE STREET
-FUNERAL TODAY.

Eli Wills, an old-time resident of
Lewistown, dropped dead last Sunday

Western Union office. A number of
bystanders saw him fall and FASTENED
to the old gentleman's side, but he
was dead when they picked him up.
The funeral was held this after

made.

won't you?" Fishing for information,
perhaps, but if this candidate had but
read the contest material of last week
she would have known. And so we
repeat. Subscriptions will never re-
ceive as many votes as they do dur
ing this special privilege period.
Interest Growing.
In all sections of the county more
people are becoming interested every
day. Local pride is being shown and
the candidates will rely on the united
strength of the whole people for their
support. Some are even going further
than that and are enlisting the as
sistance of their friends in other parts
of the country. All this campaigning
is good, as it makes no difference
where the votes are cast for candi-
date.
Active Work Necessary.
The many candidates have made a
splendid showing for the past few
weeks, although many changes may
take place before another week goes
by. Large numbers of votes are be-
ing received every day and many new
candidates are showing remarkable
strength and forging to the front.
It's a good idea to keep well up In
the list Of published candidates, but
for candidate to expose her full
strength by having it published in the
paper is poor plan. The reserve Of
the different candidates is what will
tell in the end and it's the girl with
the largest reserve that will be the
winner
Rivalry Will Be Reduced.

MILWAUKEE RUSHES TWO Blo
SURVEYING PARTIES TO
THIS SECTION.
ORDERS TO LOCATE LINE
Route Between Lewistown and Great
Falls Will Be Definitely Decided
Upon This Fall and Winter
Grading Operations on Large Scale
to Begin Early Next Spring.

That the directors Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee 4 st. Paul has decided
to lose no more time in pushing for
ward their plans for putting Lewis
town on a main line, became manifest
last week, when a large bunch Of sur
veyors arrived in this city, QUILTED
and took to the field. Additional par
ties have been arriving almost every
day, until at the present time, there
are surveying crews aggregating be,
tween fifty and one hundred men
eating the best possible route for
railroad between Lewistown and
Great Falls.
Two Noted Engineers.
The first crew to arrive was In
charge OF Engineer McVicker, who
outtitted here and started out for the
Arrow creek country, where they will
work until feasible grade has been
located. A second party arrived but
a few days ago, being In charge Of
Engineer w. Il. FELTON,. This party
has started survey at point where
a new water tank Is being located
on the line between this city and
Moore. This point is on Rock creek.
near the Otto Odenwald ranch, and
Is about eleven miles from Lewis
town. This line will be run over
across Ross Fork In the vicinity of
the Powell crossing.
McVicker and FELTON, are known as
two OF the greatest railroad engineers
in the country. To them has been
assigned an unusually difficult task,
for the road between Lewistown and
Great Falls presents engineering diff
ficulties seldom encountered even In
the Rocky mountain region. In work.
ing out this problem, there are three
major considerations. The company
wants to secure the best possible
grade, for the reason that this Is to
be a main line. They desire to se-

at the same time, tap as much unde-
veloped territory as possible.
Construction in the Spring.
1t is determined that the route shall
be definitely determined this fail and
winter, in order that construction
work may start as early as possible
next spring. 1t Is assumed, as a mat
ter OF course, that when the Mil
waukee starts to working westward
from Lewistown, they will at the
same time be busily engaged in com.
pleting eastward from Lewistown. SO
that within less than one year from
the present date, Lewistown will be
the center OF some very extensive
railroad operations.

| The sudden resumption OF activity
in this section is doubtless due to the
recent visit to LewistoWn of ma
jority of the directors and higher Of
ficials OF the company, including Will
liam and Pelcy Rockefeller and Presi-
dent Earling. The auto trip through
the Judith Basin on their way to
Great Falls opened the eyes OF these
great captains of industry to the un-
surpassed possibilities of this section
of the state and the numerous evil
dences of maryelously rapid develop
ment decided them upon prompt
action.
