MUST DRESS
TO DECENCY

Short skirts and low necked
waists are out Of place in the
school room, when worn by mem
bers of the teaching force, and
were referred to as wearing ap-
parel abbreviated at both ends
which must be worn no more in
Butte schools said Supt. George
Downer at a general monthly
meeting Of the teachers.
The superintendent did not at
tempt to state what a teacher
should or should not wear, but his
edict, brief though it was, fell like
a bomb into the ranks of the
teaching force.
As to the exact meaning of
low necked waist. the teachers
claim that the superintendent did
not mean a waist without collar,
but say-well, perhaps u sailor
waist without the shield, or a shirt
waist turned in" at the neck suf-
fciently to warrant the fear among
the children that teacher might
catch cold.' ...".

EDW vEASEY
CALLED HOME

One more of the old settlers of
eastern Montana and pioneer of
Sweet Grass county has crossed
the great divide and gone to his
long rest.
Edward Neascy died last Friday
morning at Portland, Ore. Death
came as the result of a period of
poor health and enfeebled consti-
tuition extending over a number OF
years. Although when stricken
with his last sickness he had ap-
parently been greatly improved in
health and his ultimate recovery
was hoped for. Unable to with
stand the demands made upon his
ystem, Mr.. Vtasey gradually
grew weaker and the fame of life
went out. He was conscious to
within few hours of his death.
Unable to speak, he recognized
those about him and extended his
horI r, Iocf fo
With him when he died were
his daughters, Mrs. Roy Osborn
and the Misses Dorothy and Cora
Vcascy. and several of his old
friends from Montana, who are so
journing in Portland.
The body was prepared for ship.
ment, and accompanied by the
relatives and Senator Mcdonnell,
was brought to Livingston, where
it arrived last Sunday and was
buried Monday afternoon in the
Catholic cemetery of that place

was well known to many citizens
of this place.

new SETTLERS
FOR MONTANA

The Great Northern is handling
on the average from three to five
cars of immigrant stock now and
the rush has been on for about ten
days. The stations receiving the
largest portion of the traffic have
been Big Sandy, Benton, Collins,
Powers, Conrad, Hobson and Stan
ford. The cars are coming from
points in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas,
Illinois and as far east as Ohio.
The rush started earlier this year
than usual and if it keeps up at
the same rate with the increase
ordinarily occurring, it is claimed
that the addition by the new set
tiers this year would far outstrip
all previous records for a single
season.

PREDICTS HIGH
PRICES LATER

Growers of wool in Montana
will be robbing themselves if they
sell the clips during the ensuing
season for less than 20 cents pei
pound, and if it be good stuff, it
should bring from 2 to 5 cents
more than that figure" was a
statement made today by William
Rae, Jr., ore of the leading sheep
men of eastern Montana.
AS foundation for his argument
that the figures should be far bet
ter than those offered. Mr.. Rea
says that no last years tleeces in
any amount were carried over, and
that there is virtually no foreign
wool available, and the unchange~
able law of supply and demand
justifies the payment of 20 cents
and upward for. good Montana
wool.

A VISIT TO
CITY SCHOOLS

The editor had occasion to bt
shown through the public schoo
building last week and was very
much pleased to find a progressive
group of people working and get
ting results that would make any
town feel justly proud. As soon
as we entered we met a live wire in
the superint endent, and was shown
the various phases of manuel work
which made evident that the in
structors Of the different grades
and departments could be we'll de-
scribed by the same adjective as
the superintendent.
We were shown work in the art
department that would be equalled
only in the largest schools, and a
few large water colors that could
not be surpassed by any. The
paper and cardboard construction,
clay, raffia and needle work told
the story of hard work and origi-
nal ideas on the part of the in
structors and pupils. We were
pleased to find that the Harlow ton
school is progressive enough to
have Manuel Training Depart
ment and the parents would be
surprised to see the class Of work
done in that department., and at
the same time having had INSTALL
ed only four months. The furni-
ture, equipment of reading room,
models, useful articles to the boys,
shows that the superintendent is
practical as we'll as understanding
how to teach boys to do things.
Another thing was shown us
that we have never seen in any
school except the cities-that is a
reading room equipped with over
1000 volumes, all the standard
magazines and two daily papers.
The superintendent told us that
y the magazines were extensively
read, and at the same time did not
interfere with the regular work.
The superintendent informed us
that the visitors had ten few.
The parents should have enough
interest in educational work to
make that public institution a
visit in the immediate future.
Your time will be we'll spent and
at the same time you will be con-
vinced that you have an up-to.
date school system and see work
that you have never dreamed of
being accomplished in a smaller
town. The people of Harlowton
should be complimented upon hav-
ing progressive school board and
one that looks after school inter.
ests so closely. In little over a
years time have instituted three
years of high school work, and
have thoroughly organized the
grade work which has been insti.
tuted by the instructors.
This spring the Board is plan
ming to run water into the build.
ing, put in modern conveniences,
finish the basement for some .ad-
ditional work, and institute full
four years course of high school
work for another year. When this
is done the schools of Harlowton
will not ne second to any, and
should be a great agent in making
a future city.

DIGEST OF
LAND LAWS

i HOAIEsTEADs
| The department. is without au
thority to extend the life Of an en-
try and permit the entryman tx
make compliance to the law as tc
either residence or cultivation.
subsequent to the expiration d
the statutory life thereof.
| When lands that have been with
drawn from all disposition are re-
stored to entry, no application will
be received or any rights recog
nized as initiated by the tender OF
an application for any such lands
until the order of restitution is
received by the local office.
L =
The act of 1908, providing for
second entries, has no retroactive
effect which will operate to cure a
detective right based upon a claim
of prior settlement, and at the
same time cut off and defeat the
assertion of superior adverse
claim. In other words one dis
qualified to initiate valid settle
ment right cannot claim the privi-
lege of having his status as an en-
tryman determined as of the date
of his application to protect such
invalid settlement right. The
right will only be protected from
the date the impediment to it's ini-
tiation is removed and the right
attaches. o.....
DESERT LANDS .- -5E
A successful contestant does not
acquire any pecuniary rights. He
is entitled to a period of 80 days
from notice of the cancellation of
the entry in which to apply to en-
ter the land, but the payments
made by the former entryman can
not be credited to him, nor is he
entitled to a lower rate per acre
for building charges, but must pay
the charges obtaining at the time
his application to make entry is
filed.
One who makes desert entry of
public lands must clearly show, in
submitting proof not only that he
has the right to sufficient sup
ply of water to successfully irri-
gate the lands, but that the sys-
tenn of bitches is adequate for that
purpose, and that the necessary
supply of water has been actually
used on said lands il a manner to
prove the beneficial results.
FINAL PROOF
The Register will be held liable
for the costs of republication of
final proof where an error in de-
scription of land is made by him.
The record is in possession of the
Register and he should see that
the descriptions are correct before
direct publication.
Where the proof as to residence
is weak, but there is strong proof
of cultivation of the land in added
area and with increasing yield OF
crops each year and effort showing
a persistent effort to maintain an
actual home upon the land, the
proof will be deemed sufficient.

The Perkins Support.

Mr. George W. Perkins. one of
the most powerful men in Wall street,
has entered heartily into the plan to
re-nominate Theodore Roosevelt for
the presidency; and this has given
rise To much criticism. II is alleged
in some quarters that the support Of
Perkins is conclusive evidence of the
fact that Wall street is favorable
to the former president because Wall
street knows it can use him.
But that doesn't follow at all. Mr.
Perkins is not Wall street. albeit
he is one Of the most powerful Of
the New York financiers. 1t does
follow. however that Mr.. Perkins has
the right 10 support for the presi-
dency whatever man he chooses; and
if he feels like supporting Mr.. Roose-
welt. that would seem To he his own
affair. He is an American citizen
and a voter. And if Mr.. Perkins or
Mr.. Morgan or Mr.. Rockefeller feels
like supporting the former president
they certainly have the right to do
so.

Bryan Again.

II was to be expected as a matter
of course that the redoubtable Col.
Bryan should join with Representative
Henry in demanding an investigation
Il the money rust" notwithstanding
such a proceeding will, i'm all proba-
bility. precpitate a panic if carried
through, and Notwithstanding the fur
Their fact, as already pointed out.
that if such an evil exists it can be
remedied through proper legislation.
There are two reasons why Mr..
Bryan should take the course he has
taken. one is his animosity toward
Oscar Underwood who, it will be re-
called. recently pulled aside the Col
oners cloak Of sanctimonious pa
triotism. and revealed the common.
reason is that Mr.. Bryan succeeds
in getting on the wrong side of pretty
nearly every question he ever dis
cusses There seems no limit 10 his
capacity for doing the wrong thing.
Anybody but Bryan would have
learned a lesson by this time He
continually pirates about the 100000
men who supported him; but he for
gets the 100000 who voted against
him. He talks about his principles;
apparently oblivious Of the fact that
about every one Of those principles
has been rejected by one of the largest
popular majorities ever east against
anybody or any principles in this
country.
Bryan has had three chances to
lead his party to success and he has
been whipped worse each succeeding
time ANY one else would step aside
and give man Of real thought and
power a chance; but this peerless
pettifogger attempts to arrogate to
himself the wisdom Of the ages and
tries To advise wiser men on matters
regarding which he has made an
egregious failure.
The Republican does not undertake
to advise democrats what they shall
do. But it seems TO this paper that
this proposed bank investigation is
not in any sense "A political question.
Everybody is Interested and everybody
should make himself heard. There
should be such a protest against this
suicidal act that even Mr.. Bryan will
hear and understand.
