SHOULD CLEAN
UP THE RUBBISH
Mayor Smith Calls Attention
to City's Order to Make
Annual Cleanup

The Tribune was asked yes
terday afternoon by Mayor Frank
Smith to call the attention of
Bowbells people to the recent Or
der made by the city council for
all property owners to clean their
premises of all rubbish, refuse,
etc. Since the order was made
and the city marshall notified
the property owners many have
complied, while others have re-
fused to do so.
AT the present time there are
two cases of typhoid fever in the
city," said Mr.. Smith, land the
filthy stuff laying around in the
back yards is sure to cause few
more cases unless it is cleaned
up. The large amount Of rain
fall we have received here this
spring has caused much surface
water to run through the piles of
filth about the city and then
into shallow wells, the water in
which is being used for drinking
purposes. The rubbish must be
cleaned up for the benefit of
public health, and where prop
erty owners refuse to get busy,
the city will make the cleanup at
the expense of the one who owns
the lot.'

The comic opera ''The Captain
of Plymouth" which will be pre-
sented by the pupils of the Bow
bells High School under the dir
ection of Mrs. C. E. Pierson at
the Lyons opera house Saturday
of next week promises to surpass
anything ever before shown in
this city either by local talent or
travelling troupe. Forty-eight
people take part in the opera, and
though none pretend to be pro-
fessional actors or singers, their
training and rehearsing during
the past six weeks has fitted
them to play their parts to per-
fection.
Special costumes and scenery
have been ordered for the occa-
sion at an expense of over $50.
and at the present time nothing
seems to be lacking that would
help in making the play a bigger
success.
The opera consists of three
acts and is founded on Longfel-
lows poem, "The Courtship of
Miles Standish." tits extremely
comical all the way through and
affords a great deal of laughter.
Nothing like it was ever shown
here before. Following are the
acts and scenes:

SMITH THINKS
MONTANA IS 0. K.
May Move to Scoby Some
time During the Next
Few Months

Mayor Frank Smith r eturned
Friday morning from Poplar,
Culbertson and Scoby, Mont,
where he spent some. time in
looking over the land with a
view to homesteading. In talk
ing with The Tribune he told us
that he was very much impress
ed with the land near Scoby, and
if things went we'll he intended
to 20 out there some time this
summer to squat on land. Scoby
is so miles north Of Poplar and
SO miles west of PlentyWood. 1t
is in the Willowbunch country
which across the line in Canada
is noted for it's great productive
ness. Most of the land there is
as yet unsurveyed and the settl-
ers are squatting and waiting
until the government gets busy.
Though being SO miles from
the nearest railroad Mr.. Smith
tells US that Scoby is about the
liveliest town he had ever seen.
All supplies have to be hauled by
team from Poplar. Several
general stores, pool hall, bank.
blacksmith shop, and business
houses Of all kinds have already
started doing business inEspite
Of the fact that there issno hope
for a railroad for several years
to come. Some mighty big
crops are being raised there and
everybody has money.
On his return Mr.. Smith
stopped at Culbertson and as
that city had just installed q
waterworks system he inquired
as to how it was working. He
found that city to he in about

| Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Mitchell of
this city spent Sunday as guests
at the John Durward home ac-
ross the lake.
James Crookshank, formerly
a resident of Bowbells, but now
in the we'll drilling business at
Oxbow, Sask., was a business
visitor here Monday.
Charles R. Hurley, who for
the past six weeks was a guest
at the home of his parents in
this city, left Tuesday night for
Minneapolis where he will again
take ahold Of his old position in
a marble and tile works. Prior
to his visit here Charlie was i'll
for time and he took a vacation
to recuperate, and spent it in
Bowbells.
Up to the present date not a
single petition was filed at the
office Of the county auditor by
the various candidates who are
running for office. The petitions
must be filed not less than 30 nor
more than 40 days before the
date the election is held, and it is
expected that most Of the candi-
dates will file during the last few
days. May 9th is the last day
on which filings can take place
Jerry Donovan is this week
making a gravel walk along the
side of his brick block between
main street and the Fraternity
Hall. The place where the walk
is being made had been excep-
tionally bad after each rain in
the past and as there is much
traffic between the hall and
Main street during the evenings
the different lodges hold ses-
sions. this place made it doubly
bad on dark nights. This walk
would have been built some time
ago had it not been for the fact
that Mr.. Donovan was waiting
for the construction Of the sewer
system. The basement under
his building has a tendency for
filing up with water, and he had
to have it pumped out every few
days. This water and the
pumping would ruin a cement
walk had one been put in and
would be a waste Of money on
Mr.. DIS. part.

water. The Culbertson people,
however, did have water when
the system was built last fall.
The Missouri river for the past
40 years or more had been
running just outside the city
limits and it was the intention of
the city council to use this river
as a source of water supply. The
system was completed late last
fall and the river was still near
the city, but when the thaw
came this spring the stream
changed it's course and is now
almost a mile and a half from
the city limits. Mr.. Smith
thought that hard luck for the
Culbertson people, though it
looked kind of comical.
The water in the rivers all
over that part Of Montana was
unusually high this spring and
in many places the water stood
a foot or more deep on the
streets. In one town Mr.. Smith
learned that on account of the
large amount of water standing
all over the foundations of sever
al brick buildings gave way
causing the structures to col
lapse.
