Taft Endorsed

At a meeting of the republican
state central committee held in
Helena last Saturday, a resolution
giving personal endorsement
to the candidacy of President
Taft for denomination was
passed after a very stormy ses-
sion, The proposition to submit
the matter of a choice for presi-
dental candidate to a primary
vote was promptly turned down
and the old convention method
will again prevail.
Livingston was selected as the
place for holding the convention
that will elect delegates to the
national vention, and May 16,
at noon, was the date and time
fixed. Great Falls was the place
chosen for holding the conven-
tion to nominate the state ticket,
the date to be fixed later by the
executive committee.
The fight in the committee be-
tween the Taft and anti-Taft
factions was fast and furious,
resulting in a victory for the ad-
ministration forces. The steam
roller is said to have been put in
motion and the class of work per-
formed will average up we'll with
that done by any of the machines
now in use.
The counties voting for the
Taft resolution were: Beaver
head, Blaine, Broadwater, Cas-
cade. Chouteau, Deer Lodge,
Fergus, jefferson, Lewis and
Clark, Lincoln, Madison, Mea-
CHER, Missoula, Park, Ravalli,
Rosebud, Silver Bow, Sweet
Grass and Teton. -26.
Those against were: Carbon,
Custer, Dawson, Flathead, Gal
latin, Granite, Powell, Sanders,
Valley, Yellowstone and Hill.

Decision On Foul

The ten round boxing match
between Clark and Allen Stone,
advertised for last Friday night
lasted only two rounds, when the
decision was given to Stone
on a foul. The spectators were
sorely disappointed at the early
termination of the match, and
some dissatisfaction also exists
among the principals. Another
match has been arranged be-
tween the same two for tomor-
row night and a good fight will
probably result.

Butte To Canada

According to advices received
in St. Paul from New York, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railway is considering
plans for building a line from
Butte through the Flathead coun-
try into Cansda. The Milwaukee
has valuable coal deposits in
Canada, which is assigned as a
reason for building the proposed
line.

Road
Can Be Built

President Elliott of the North.
ern Pacific railway system, was
in Missoula last Saturday, accom-
panied by other officers and di-
rectors of the company. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Elliott they were
on tour of inspection of the
company property in the west,
making the entire trip by day.
light.
The Missoula chamber of COM
merce entertained the party at
the Florence hotel for a noon day
luncheon. During the speech
making at this function the at
tention of the railroad men was
called to the urgent necessity of
a branch road from Dixon across
the reservation, pointing out the
fact that such line would add
materially to the growth of West
ern Montana and rebound to the
commercial advantage of the
Northern Pacific, the city of Mis-
soula and the country through
which it will pass. Regarding
the rich agricultural and fruit
growing country Immediately
tributary to Roman, it was ex-
planned that the cost of hauling
grain. fruit and stock over long
stretches of country by wagon
transportation took too much of
the profit and general agriculture
could not be made profitable to
the farmer until adequate ship
ping facilities were provided.
President Elliott responded on
the part of the visitors, saying
that no one takes more delight
in buildiag new lines than the
president of a railroad, but un-
fortunately he was not usually in
a position to do the building.
There were capitalists, stock
holders and directors to interest
in the work, and just at present
''the people who furnish the
money to build the railroads are
so busy with the courts, railroad
commissions, inter state COM
merce commissions and the peni-
tentiaries this year that they
really have very little time this
year to undertake the financing
of new lines. - Bearing directly
upon the branch line he said:
Il would like to promise the
good people of Missoula that we
would build the Flathead line
this year, but because of the
present uncertainties | do not
know where | could go to get the
million or more necessary to
undertake a work of this n1agni-
tude. The only assurance that |
can bring to you is that the Nor
thern Pacific has studied the

A visit to the State Normal
at Dillon the first of the week,
was one long to be remembered.
1t was the writer's first visit to
the institution and the magni-
tude of the work being done, and
the facilities with which to turn
out first class instructors for our
public schools, was a revelation.
The school consists of a large
main building or assembly hall
for classes, and two dormitories
for the housing of the students
who live at the Normal.
The president, Mr.. Swain, was
away from home and the duty of
directing the institution was in
the hands of Prof. Monroe, vice.
president, who is a capable man
and very enthusiastic for the
Normal, and who has had many
chances to change locations at a
material increase in salary but
who prefers to stay in Montana,
and the state is very fortunate
to retain him.
The dormitOries are in charoe
Of Mrs. Owsley as matron, and
her administration has always
been above the standard and her
hold upon the student body is
something that she may we'll feel
proud of. The students all like
Mrs. Owsley, although she is a
strict disciplinarian. At present
there are only female students,
although the school is open to
both sexes alike.
A visit to the library for a few
minutes where Mrs. Free, the
librarian holds forth, revealed
that this feature of the school
has been receiving great atten-
tion. Here are to be found $500
volumes of books which the stu
dents may desire to consult, and
which they are to be found doing
at all hours Of the day. Mrs.
Free is considered one of the best
librarians in the west and her
administration of the Normal
library has been very successful.
The writer took lunch with the
students at the noon hour, and
being naturally of a bashful dis
position, and being the only mere
man among a hundred pretty
young lady students, it is prob
ably unnecessary to say that the
appetite displayed was not in
harmony with the lunch. The
young ladies, however, did not
suffer the same embarrassment,
judging by the way they cleared
the tables of what was set before
them, and their healthful looks
indicate that this is the rule and
not the exception with them.
Mrs. Owsley informed tn e
writer that there was room in the
dormitories for number yet, in
fact the students body could be
increased one-half and not crowd |
the institution. Parents who
contemplate sending their girls
away for a more advanced educa-
tion will find that the State Nor
NAL offers many superior advan-
tages and at minimum cost.
No tuition is charged to students
where the railroad fare would
exceed $500 and the only cost is
their board and books.
Graduates from the state nor
NAL are needed in the public
schools of the state every year
and they receive life diplomas
after teaching a short time after
graduation.
The grounds are beautiful, the
life a pleasant one, and the
health of the place away above
the average. 1t fits the young
ladies for any station in life, and
Montana should increase rather

The Roman Minstrels, a com.
pany composed Of home talent
entirely, held the boards at the
opera house Saturday night ano
played to the largest audience
ever assembled at that place.
Every seat in the house was oc.
cupied and standing room was at
a premium. The opening chorus
by the company started the show
off right and the applause i'm
bued each individual member of
the company with confidence,
which stayed with them during
the evening.
E. E. Healey as Lavender
Johnson, Frank Denison as Sum
shine Wilson, DR.. Sheen as Ras-
tus Livingston and Howard
Stansbury as Cicero Washington,
made end men that would be a
credit to many travelling compan-
les, and their songs and jokes
were all new and clever and
highly appreciated. A. M. Thorn
burg filled the position of inter-
locutor with dignity and ability
and took jokes and jibes of the
end men with unequalled good
humor, as did also a few in the
audience.
Lavender Johnson's rendition
of the song, "Alexander's Rag
Time Band" assisted by the full
chorus, received hearty applause,
and Steamboat Bill' by Sun
shine Wilson was one of the best
stunts of the evening. Rastus
Livingston in the ''Jingaboo
Man" was great and proved that
the doctor is no novice in that
line.
The song "Knockwood," by
Cicero Washington, brought
down the house by the local hits,
the verses running as follows:
1t is pretty little town,
1t gives itself a great renown-
The town of Ole Olson,
Otherwise called Poison.
1t is the Queen of Flathead Lake,
They never engineered fake.
Softly now they're sleeping;
When spring comes they'll wake,
And after sleep so long,
They'll sing their little song.
Got a little dream,
It's scream of scheme
Knockwood, knockwood.
An electric road, a la mode,
On money owed,
Knockwood, knockwood.
When you think that you have got it,
fright
Down in hole plum out of sight,
Don't begin to shout,
For your pipe is going out,
Knockwood, knockwood.
Sometimes you feel little i'll,
And undertake your skin to fill
With reservation whiskey,
To make you fine and frisky.
But when you get it in the neck,
You'll soon have troubles by the peck
When the gas is bubbling
From the Flathead Pommery Sec.
But when you think you're wet,
Look out for Farmer Gillett.
When you hit the booze,
All of youse, get the news,
Knockwood, knockwood.
If you rush the can
In Roman, Mary Ann,
Knockwood, Knockwood.
Tho you think YOUR having lots of fun,
How'll you feel when comes to-
morrow's sun. |
What an awful head,
Eyes so red, nearly dead,
Knockwood, knockwood.
Say is there any single man
Who isn't proud of this Roman;
The town that's been payer
And now it needs mayor.
Why give the jobs all to the men,
Let's have some lady councilmen
To make the laws that are needed
To put us in the pen.
1t doesn't require pants
To pass an ordinance.
When you vote for six,
When YOU picks, men are nix.

THE NEW COLONIAL THEATER
WILL OPEN SATURDAY NIGHT

AS will be seen by the advertise
ment in the amusement section of
the Daily News, the Colonial theater,
just completed on Magnolia avenue.
west of the postoffice, will be opened
to the public Saturday night. This
theater is modern and up-to-date in
all respects and the operating
booth is absolutely fireproof, with
all wires and switches enclosed
and automatic drop shutters over
openings and the whole booth en-
closed with asbestos and metal.
The theater is 80 20 feet in di-
mansions and has a seating capacity
of $50. The seats are very comfort
able and the side tiers are so ar
ranged that they are equal to any
in the house. The house is very
artistically and beautifully decorated
in colonial style, white and gold pre-
dominating, and the lighting is
superb.
Ventilation is supplied by two big
suction fans which will give two
complete changes Of air per minute.
An electrical annunciator will give
the title of each piece put on the
curtain and many attractive features
will be used, but the management
will not make use of souvenirs, prizes
or other special features to attract
patronage, trusting to draw and re-
tain patronage by giving a good,
clean show and excellent music
in pleasant and comfortable sur
roundings.- ADVERTISEMENT
