Sir:-In reply to yours of the
26th instant you are Informed that
the Department has no specified
hours at which a postoffice shall
be opened on Sundays, except that
he is required to keep open for one
hour { when mails are received) at
a time most convenient to the pa
irons of the office, He is also re-
quired to make up and dispatch
mails for mail trains which receive
mail from his office on Sunday.
The hour that the office should be
open should be one that he thinks
would best suit the people. You
say that No. Is arrives at 6 p. M,
and in that case it could hardly
arrive at postoffice and be distrib-
uted and ready for patrons before
Z y. m. I would consider this a
little late. / believe that if I was
fixing the hour that ] would open
the office after mail was received
from train No. Is, and not open UP
after mail was received from No. 16

OLD TIMERS MEET
IN BILLINGS

One of the most enjoyable and
largely attended meetings of the
Pioneers of Montana was the an
nual banquet just held in Billings.
Men and women who came to
the Treasure state when it was a
veritable wilderness gathered
about the festal board and whiled
away several hours in reminiscens
es of the days when white men
were few and far between and the
country was filled with buffalo
and Indians.
Judge James r. Goss presided
and toasts we're responded to by a
large number of old timers who
we're present from all parts OF
Montana.

GROUND HOG PARTY
AT STEVENS HOME

A Ground Hog party was given
Master Edwin Shelletoe Stevens
on Friday afternoon Feb. 2nd,
from 3 to 6 o'clock, the occasion
being his third birthday. Forty
eight Of his little playmates as
sembled at his home to help him
celebrate the event. Of which Miss
Ida Buchard took charge.
The program consisted Of Drop
ping the Handkerchief, The Visit
to the Mud Pie Kitchen-to see
how Baby Shelly makes his mud
pies, The hunt for the Barber Shop
after searching they found the
barber, Master Bennie Henzlik,
hidden behind a screen, after which.
all had a hip de hop to the barber
shop to buy a stick Of candy, and
each child got an old-fashioned
stick of barber pole candy.
Luncheon was then served, con
sisting of cake, cookies and choco-
late fingers, followed by the birth
day cake, twenty inches high, on
top Of which we're three lighted
candles. In one half Of this cake
was baked a tiny gold locket for
the lucky girl who found it in her
piece of cake. In the other half
was baked a small pearl handled
knife for the lucky boy who found
it in his piece Of cake. The lucky
girl was Mae Clark, and the lucky
boy was Nicholas Muir, who were
then crowned by Miss Ida Buchard
as king and queen of the party,
with a crown consisting Of the
lucky colors for Baby Shelly, after
which the king and queen crowns
Shelly as the planet Saturn with
the lucky Jewels for the February
child, which were saphires, opals
and Torqoise. Next was the visit
to the Kings Highway, and there
cozily seated in the corner was the
dear old ground hog, a nice good
natured fellow who gave every lit
tie boy and girl a bag of candy,
popcorn and nuts, and then bid
them all good bye for atother year.
Robert Wellington acted as the
ground hog, and was exceedingly
fine. Those who assisted Mrs.
Stevens were Mrs. j. A. Hawkins,
Miss Mary Welsh and Mrs. Joseph
Blackear.

and an extension to their ware
house. The mill is running night
and day to fill standing orders.
The city has during this period
put in a much needed waterworks
system and is now considering the
building of cement walks for the
business district. The o1,era house
management, too, has felt the need
Of more room and has made needed
extensions to the stage wings.
The country surrounding the
town last summer produced crops
partly the result of scientific dry
land farming that were phenomi-
nally large. From 4O-acre non
irrigated tract of winter wheat the
Norton & Lyons Ranch company
realized an average of Al bushels;
their oat crop totalled over 5000
bushels. From 400 acres of irri-
gated oats the Winnecook Land g.
Livestock company's return was
an average of 81 bushels, while an
acre Of their best grain produced
128 bushels. The Forest Smart
ranch near Twodot had the largest
fax yield, the average here being
" bushels. The Labrie ranch had
under cultivation nearly 600 acres
and now plans to put in 1000 acres
this spring as does the Foley Bax-
ter ice company. The returns from
smaller dry landers averaged nearly
as well. *
With an additional prospect of
two branch lines being built into
town in the near future, the future
rapid development of this part of
the Musselshell country seems
certain.

We would like to see every one

THIS Will INTEREST
MANY FARMERS
If Some Of Our Farmers Desire
TO Experiment They May Yet
Reap a Golden Harvest

Secretary Kelly. Of the Com.
mercial Club, has received an,
other letter from the Eastern Seed
Company that are templating
locating here, and they advise him
that they will furnish the farmers
the seed free and pay from two to
three cents per pound for the
threshed peas. We believe this
will make a profitable crop for the
farmer to raise, for in addition to
the threshed crop to market, the
fa1mer will have the pea vine hay
for feed, than which there is no
better hay for stock, as stock pre-
fer it to good alfalfa hay, and do
better on it. Another feature in
favor Of it is that raising crop Of
peas is better for the ground than
laying it out one year and sum
mer fallowing it, thus doing away
with the necessity Of letting the
land lay idle one year.
If the dry land farmer can sue
cessfully rotate his grain crops
with peas each alternate year, and
do away with thenecessiitty Of sum
NOR fallowing every other year, it
means he is doubling the produc-

Several of the Eskimo schools in the north having adopted the school city" plan of self government it was thought we'll to elaborate that system ernment for the entire native village. While visiting the village of Kivalina, the superintendent spoke to thee peo- pie on that subjejct and outlined a plan. The following account Of the election, installation. and first meeting of the city council. of the native VII. lage of Kivalina is taken from an in. formal letter written by R. A. BateA the teacher. MT. Bates and his sister were appointed from Nome last sum- mer.
 On Tuesday evening election occur rcd. The people convened at the school house at p. m. and the meet ing was called to order The matter of the number of councilmen necessary for the community was taken up and ,hrashed out. Some were in favor O, six. others In favor of only two.
 After a little discussion the people voted 10 have five. This shows the people of Kivalina to be of a repub- lican turn of mind. Next came the question of suffrage. and again the people showed themselves to be mod. ern in their views. The right of suf- fraSe was extended to all cNizens having arrived at the age of ten. in- cluding the women which shows them 10 be even with. If not ahead of. civic thought on the outside. There were II present with the right of fran chise. Sheets Of paper were passed 10 each voter and he was instructed to write on the sheet the names of five men he desired for councilman.
 A box 10 receive the votes or bal tots was placed on the table and when nli had cast their ballots they were counted. The election board did this work l had neglected to bring up the question of eligibility to office. but here again the peopel showed them selves to be of sane mind Every vote was cast with one excetpion for a desirable citizen That one was cast for a man living up the river and belonging to Point Hope and-was no doubt complimentary. Talock. the old man who came in at "the hear- ing" to express his interest in this scheme received 41 votes. (Please note that Kivaiina office seekers when in doubt of their election have no hesi- tancy about casting a vote In their own behalO. The next man received 35 votes the next 33. 30 and 25. These men wore then asked to como forward and were duly sworn into office with the man receiving 4i votes as chief councilman. Everybody came up and handshaking was in order. After that each councilman made a speech. asked Chester to inerpret these speeches and he did so to the best of his ability. but they were rather lengthy so could only get 0 general Idea of them.

Take Cascaret tonight and thor

women who have headaches, coated

backache and feel all worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean

This is important.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and

and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry off the CON
