HOME TALENT
MAKES BIG HIT

On Monday evening of this weel
l;at the opera house, the home tai
Innt play, STennessee's Pardner.'
given under the auspices of the
Odd Fellows Lodge of this city
and under the direction of Messrs
Watson and Brown, was the bic
ait Of the season in the way Of en-.
tertainments. A large crowd wit.
ncssed the pretty comedy drama
and at it's close pronounced it
simply par excellence.
Il Our space will not permit of us
dwelling at length on the cast of
the play, but cannot refrain from
mentioning the principals in the
play as viewed from the reporters
view stand. .~..".- MI.
Frank Lunceford, our able city
marshal, representing Asa Bice, a
typical mining man, acted the
part nicely and showed that he
could make love quite handily, as
well as look fierce. 5#.
G. G. Perkins, manager of the
Fair Store, took the part of Cal
Barlow, a western miner, brave
and loyal to his friends, a man
easy to fall in love, but always too
bashful to pop the question.
a. T. Anderson, ex-mayor, u. S.
Commissioner and one of our stall
Wart boosters for Harlowton, made
the big hit of the evening as
Geewhilliker Hay" the much
husband of the keeper of
tAys camp boarding house. Ills
of "67" and his ability
70 wash dishes and clothes was a
aovelty indeed, He also got off
some original and pert witt;ciSms
IN the present county division
plan. He was simply there" and
over, all the time.
Mrs. FL. G. Hawley, wife of our
popular druggist, as the imperson-
,tor of Mrs. Geewhilliker Hay"
ind keeper of the camp grub
house, was simply superb. Her
speech and every act portrayed
The cOmical side of an overworked
wife whose duty it was to look
'fter a worthless hubby and keep
things in running order. She and
ler pseudo husband were the ac.
jual fun makers of the evening.
Mr.. E. II. White as Spike
Miss Edna Wtb,r as 'Nettie Bice"
stage wife of the marshal, and Fred
as Jake Andrews" all
acted their parts nicely. OF course
Mrs. Watson as Tennessee Kent"
jhe heroine of the play, and her
husband, f. B. Watson, as Caleb
Swan" were the stars of the play.
They both showed much talent
md strictly at home on the stage.
1t was really fine show and
we'll spoken of by all. The locals
expect to reproduce the same play
n Lewistown and Moore the com
ng week.

WHEATLAND COUNTY
IS The new NAME
County Division Committee Decide
That Name Selected is More
Fitting to Present Time

AT the last meeting Of the new
county association, the name Me
rino was dropped as the oficia
title of the new county, and Wheat
land substituted. There had al
ways been more on less criticism
and dissatisfaction with the name
Merino, as it was suggestive o1
conditions and Industries, that arc
no longer paramount in the com
mercial development of the Mus
selshell valley, while Wheatland is
synonomous with the great staple
cereal that is destined to make
this section of Montana world
known.
With this issue Of the News we
feel that we are able to announce
that the preliminary work for the
new county has been completed,
boundary lines are permanently es-
tablished, abstracts of assessed
valuation taken from Meagher,
Sweet Grass and Musselshell have
been completed. The petitions
are being passed upon by expert
legal experts and we confidently
announce that ere we go to press
petitions for signatures will be in
circulation. We briefly outline
the boundaries Of the new county
and give q few facts, that will
probably be of interest to those
that are not familiar with some of
the important features of the new
county. In next weeks issue we
propose to give a detailed state
ment Of what the financial status
of the new county will be, the
cost of running it, the sources of
revenue and the rate of taxation.
This sta tement is being compiled
by business and professional men
who are thoroughly acquainted
with the operating expenses Of
counties throughout Montana, and
what the needs of the new county
OF Wheatland will be, and is ar
rived at in the same manner. as
the county commissioners of any
county determine the rate for the
currant year.

/ valuation based on the, 1911 as
sessment, of $3.50, one third
of a million larger than Meaghe1
or Sweet Grass, two Of our neigh.
boring counties. 1t will have 11O
miles Of main line railways, more
railway mileage than is possessed
by one-half of the counties in the
state, besides 25 miles of branch
road, and many miles of siding.
Wheatland county will contain
railroad land valued at 81, $4,000,
according to the value placed upon
this land by the N. P. company
itself.
Wheatland county contains 1876
miles of irrigated valleys, 10000
acres of irrigated land, 100000
acres that is susceptible to and in
course of being irrigated, and 6OO,-
600 acres OF non-irrigable wheat
lands.
In 1912 the territory within the
proposed new county produced
$50 cars Of grain, 100000 pounds
of wool, 800 cars of live stock, 80
600 tons of hay. These resources,
we believe, form foundation of
what will become one of the most
thickly populated and wealthiest
counties in the state. Please OBJ
serve the mountain range sur
rounding Wheatland county and
notice that we take nothing ex-
cept what slopes toward the Mus.
selshell river. The majority of the
residents within the new county
are ninety miles from the present
county seat of Meagher county.

the expenses and time required to

PLAN WORLDS SERIES
National Commission VIII Open Drafts
From Minors.

Cincinnati, Sept. ia discussion
and an outline of the probable dates
for playing the worlds championship
next month was INDUCED in by the
National Baseball Commission
While there was no regular meeting
yet, the three members, Chairman
August Hermann, President Lynch, of
the National League, and President
Johnson, of the American league, met
and threshed out some of the work
that was before that body
This morning the commission will
draft complete schedules of the worlds
series between every team that thus
far has a possible chance of finishing
in first place in the two major leagues.
Following this the opening of the
drafts of the major league clubs and
minor league players will take place.
This will be followed by the lot draw
ing process wherever the system is
necessary.

j. Owen Wilson Has Helped
Giants Win Race.
Pittsburg Swatter Wins Four
Games From Chicago.

J. Owen Wilson, whose services
We're acquired by the Pirates through
! the medium of the draft five years
ago, seems entitled to another cogno-
men this year other than the one that
has been bestowed on him-The King
Pin Smiter of Three Baggers. Just as
Lew Richie has been dubbed the
Giant Killer, so should the Pirate
right fielder be termed the Cub Stay
er, for figures do not lie and the fig
ures show that J. Owen did more than
his share toward winning several
games recorded as Pirate victories and
Cub defeats.
Wilson always was a timely hitter
he batted in over 100 runs last year
and his performance with the stick
this season shows that he is deserving
of some votes that are to be cast by
the newspaper jury as being the most
valuable player to his team, and
therefore entitled to a Chalmers car
Fans have nothing to say in this COM
the figures speak and they show that
Wilson ought to be extremely popular
in New York and extremely unpopular
in Chicago. Here is what close an
alysis of the box scores reveals:
Wilson a Cub Killer.
April 23.-Pittsburg defeated Chi
cago, to 8, Wilson batting in two of
the Pirates runs, crossing the plate
once himself and Staving off a rally
by the Cubs in the ninth inning by
merman's bid for a home run when
Tinker and Holman were on the
bases.
May GETTYSBURG defeated Chi
cago, to I, Wilson batting in two of
the Pirates tallies with a double and
scoring their third run.
September 3.-Pittsburg defeated
Chicago, to o, Wilson batting in lone
run.
September 4.-Pittsburg defeated
Chicago, 5 to 2, Wilson settling issue
of game by polling homer in eighth
inning when score was tied and when
Wagner and Miller were on the bases.
Wilson up to last Tuesday, had ripped
off "a three baggerS, getting IT of these
hits off pitchers of teams of his own
section and the same number off hur1-
ers on clubs from the region east of
the Alleghenies, which would indicate
that in the National League the east
has it on the west this year so far as
curvers go. The "a three baggers made
this year by Wilson are enumerated
