oft-postponed meeting at Hobson, for

and the suggestion met with instant
favor on the part of the commercial
clubs at Moore, Hobson, Stanford,
llilger, Moccasin, Benchland, Buffalo
and others throughout the Basin. A
date for holding the organization
meeting was set, but storm inter-
fered. Another date was fixed, and
this, too, had to be called Off on ac-
count of unfavorable weather condi-
tiOns. If the roads are at all passable,
the meeting will positively be held
next Friday.
Program Is Arranged.
Secretary Mathews, OF the local
commercial club, has arranged the fol-
lowing program for the meeting FRI

OLD TIME RANGE RIDER
ON VISIT TO THE BASIN
T. L. EASLEY MARVELS AT THE
CHANGES SINCE HE LEFT
HERE 80 YEAR sAGo.

Buffalo Review: T. l.. Easley, who
used to ride the range here back in
the late '80's, dropped off the train
at Buffalo today and favored this Of
flee with a very pleasant visit.
Mr.. Easley left the Basin in 1890
and has since resided in Centralia,
Illinois, where he has a wife and two
children. He considers the change in
the Basin a wonderful one and was
surprised at the number of farms
which exist wnere all was then an
open cattle range.
He rode the range in those days
for S. S. HobsOn and Jack Waite, and
says that the Buffalo townsite was
one of his old stamping grounds.
Thus far he has been able to find
only three of his old cronies who rode
the range with him, namely, Billy
Page, Bill Burris and Ernest Luckett.
Belden is the only cattleman
still in the business who was then
on an extensive scale.
He has pleasant recollections of
Jack Murphy, now gone to his reward,
and of Pat Rooney, also deceased. He
recalls Fred Warren, Bill Ettien, Mike
Rooney, A. c. Stoutenburg, Breathit
Gray, Billy Korell, and others, and all
are associated with happy memories
that seem to call for a repetition of
the old days.
Mr.. Easley has grown trifle tired
Of his Illinois home and if he can find
a suitable place he will move his
family out here, out to the farming
region that was deemed to be fit only
FOR cattle raising and which is now
the world with its wonder
ful fertility. The Review would like
10 see him settle near Buffalo.

Fad Team Victorious.

IN an excellent game of baseball
the Fad team defeated the Power Mer.
camille aggregation Sunday afternoon
at the fair grounds diamond by a
score of 8 to 8. Both pitchers were
effective and were excellently sup
ported by Steiner for the Fad and
Johnson for Powers behind the bat.
The hitting of Musselman, the Fad's
left fielder, was big factor in the
success of that team. He poled out
five safeties in five times at bat.
There were several sensational stunts
pulled of during the progress of the
game.

high School Next.
With commencement week but If
teen days in the future, the faculty
and students of the Fergus County
Free High school are making active
preparations for the activities of the
closing days. The high school term
of forty weeks will close June IA.
The last week of school will be de-
voted almost entirely to the com
mencement exercises, class play,
Junior prom and other similar exer-
ciSes.
1t is probable that the commence.
ment exercises will be held Thursday
evening, June 13. This date has been
left open up to this time owing to
some difficulty in securing some man
Of distinction in the state to deliver
the annual address to the graduates.
The dates for the junior prom, which
will be held in the new gymnasium,
and the class play, have not yet been
definitely fixed.
Thirteen Graduates.
Thirteen members of the senior
class will receive diplomas this year.
They are as follows Elsie Anderson,
Ruth Berry, James Canon, Joseph
Cotton, Constance Dougherty, Anna
belle Funk, Elsie Gordon, Edith Logan,
Vivian Reeder, Launcelot Rowley, Ste
phen Smith, Della ST. Peter and Eliza.
beth Won Tobel. This is one of the
largest classes ever graduated from
the local high school. Diplomas from
the Fergus county high school now
serve as passports for entrance, with
out examination, into all of the big
colleges OF the country. There is not
high school in the United States
with more advanced course Of study
than that of the local institution. The
requirements for graduation are more
strict than in most Of the large high
schools, even of the east, so that a
diploma won here stands for some
thing when the student seeks to con-
tinue his education in higher instl-
tuition Of learning.
